Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a game machine, in developing No. 6 reel type game machine, increasing taste by elaborately devising techniques of a game and capable of compressing data of a main program.SOLUTION: In a case where ART stock is "0", when a CZ (Chance Zone) is won, a main control part 100 executes a CZ type lottery, and determines a CZ1 or CZ2. When there are both of the CZ stock and ART stock in a normal state, the main control part preferentially uses the ART stock. In the normal state, when any of the CZ or the ART is won and then the number of precursory games is set, the main control part 100 makes the game stay at a normal-time precursory state (an identification number 1). When a real bonus is won, the main control part 100 executes a normal-time real bonus precursory (an identification number 2) and, when the real bonus is won, if it is a CZ precursory, holds the type of CZ as it is. When ART is won during a CZ1 or CZ2 precursory state, the main control part 100 rewrites it Pto ART precursory to execute the precursory game to the ART.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 31

Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine (including a pachinko machine) such as a pachislot machine that uses a medal as a gaming medium and a slot machine (rotating game machine) called a pachilot that uses a pachinko ball as a gaming medium.

  Further, the present invention provides control steps or control procedures for realizing the gaming method of semiconductor memory, LD (laser disc), HD (hard disc), CD (compact disc), DVD (digital versatile disc). It is also related to a program (for example, game software) recorded on an information storage medium such as a digital video disk or a blue ray disk, and a game application itself downloaded using the Internet.

  In recent years, games using a swivel type game machine called a pachislot machine have been actively performed as entertainment in conventional pachinko halls and pachislot exclusive shops. In addition, in video game machines installed in game facilities, etc., and PCs and game machines in general households via the Internet, substitute coins and credits (ie, “game media”) are used to simulate a spinning game. A simulation game has been conducted.

  For example, in the above-mentioned normal game of a spinning-reel type gaming machine, when a player inserts a predetermined number (a predetermined amount) of game medals (game media) and then operates the start lever, a bonus combination, multiple types of Execute an internal lottery (hereinafter also referred to as “internal lottery”) of a small role or a replay role (re-playing role), and multiple reels (mostly three or four reel drums) from above A variable display game in which a plurality of symbols (usually, these symbols are arranged on a reel tape and pasted on the outer periphery of each drum) are rotated by rotating downward to change the symbols arranged on the drum. When the player operates the stop button corresponding to each drum and the symbols such as bells, watermelons and cherries won internally are displayed on the active line in the predetermined combination, 1 sheet ~ In contrast to paying out about 5 game medals, when a replay symbol is displayed on the active line and replay (replay) is activated (hereinafter also referred to as “winning”), the game medals are inserted. If there is not (or the number of the previous game is inserted as it is), it becomes a replayable state in which the next normal game can be performed. Note that if a small combination is missed, the payout is zero.

  In particular, in the case of a revolving type game machine called A type, a big bonus (1 type BB or 2 type BB) is won internally according to the result of the internal lottery of the normal game, and specified by individual stop operation of the reel drum When a symbol (for example, a red 7 symbol, a blue 7 symbol, or a BAR symbol) is stopped and displayed on the active line, the big bonus game mode (BB game mode: role) is the most advantageous game mode for the player. A large number of game medals can be acquired at once. In addition, when the regular bonus is won and the bar symbols are arranged on the active line as a specific symbol, a regular bonus game (RB game) is executed, and although it does not reach the BB game, a corresponding game medal can be obtained. In any case, for a player, the establishment of these bonus games is the greatest concern in the revolving game. When a bonus game is won or released as a result of executing the internal lottery, a special symbol (7 symbols or bar symbols) is stored by setting a bonus flag in a data storage area such as RAM or RWM. Until these are complete, the flag is carried over to the subsequent variable display game.

By the way, the conventional swivel-type game machine (No. 4 machine) has a relatively high euphoria, and in order to suppress it,
The latest revolving type game machine called Unit 5 was enacted after the Act on the Regulation of Customs Business and the Optimization of Business (Last Revision: Law No. 55 of May 30, Heisei 15) Applied.

  For example, in the No. 5 spinning cylinder game machine, the play rate (short term, medium term, long term) is regulated very finely by the rules, and in the big bonus game (BB game), the number of game medals obtained, etc. The game ends when the number exceeds a predetermined number (for example, 360 or 480). In the regular bonus game, although it does not reach the BB game, the game ends when about a few dozens are obtained. In particular, the bonus stock function, which should be called the biggest feature of the conventional swivel-type game machine (No. 4 machine), is also prohibited by the same rule, and as a result, the bonus combination cannot be released continuously. Playability and gambling were extremely reduced.

  However, even in such a strict regulatory situation, some restrictions have been relaxed, and as a result of this, as a result of new innovations, slot machines equipped with ART functions (assist / replay / time functions) have been developed. It was. This ART function is a symbol stop operation procedure (the operation sequence of the stop switch and the operation timing for aiming the color of the bonus symbol) for winning the internal winning small role in the high probability replay state where replay is easy to win. This is a function that notifies and assists with liquid crystal display and voice, and is currently the mainstream of the No. 5 slot machine.

  Furthermore, an AT machine has been developed that maintains a state in which a bonus combination (type 2 BB) is internally won and increases the winning probability of replay during normal games and special games. The AT machine is equipped with an assist bonus (third bonus) that activates the assist function. When the AT bonus is won, the correct push order is notified when the push order small role is won internally. Thus, a small combination with the largest number of payouts among a plurality of small combinations selected at the same time is taken. On the other hand, during the normal game, the assist function is not activated, and the player cannot know the correct operation procedure at the time of winning the push order small role, and a penalty occurs if an irregular push (how to push other than the left 1st) is performed. Therefore, each time the number of games is repeated, the possession medal (held ball) is reduced.

  By the way, although the original No. 5 slewing machine was very low in euphoria, as a result of improvement, the average net increase per game of ART machines and AT machines was increased to 2 to 3 Better performance than the No. 4 round drum machine. And since more than 30,000 models have appeared in a day's games, new rules have been revised to reduce gambling and to prevent fraud. Has been. In particular, in the No. 6 spinning cylinder type gaming machine, the ART function is managed by the main control unit, so it is necessary to compress the data capacity of the main program.

  The present invention is based on the development of the No. 6 slewing type gaming machine (actual bonus + ART type) having an assist function, and by compressing the data capacity of the main program and elaborating technical techniques on the game, The object is to provide a gaming machine or the like that is not exhausted and can increase the fun.

  In order to achieve the above object, the gaming machine of the present invention according to claim 1 includes a plurality of spinning cylinders having a plurality of types of symbols arranged on the outer peripheral surface, and a combination lottery means for internally drawing a combination for each game. , Rotate a plurality of spinning cylinders for each game, accept operation of a stop switch provided corresponding to each spinning cylinder, individually stop the corresponding spinning cylinder, and depending on the result of the internal lottery Symbol display control means for displaying the game, the game has a normal game, a notification game advantageous to the normal game, stock storage means capable of storing the stock of the selected notification game, and the normal game A game execution means capable of executing at least the notification game, and the game state of the normal game includes a normal game state and a chance game state in which the winning probability of the stock is higher than the normal game state, In the normal gaming state, It is determined that transition to Yansu gaming state, when running aura game, when the notification game is won, the game execution unit and executes aura game to 該報 knowledge game.

  According to the gaming machine according to the present invention, since the real bonus and the ART bonus are provided, and the winning notification and instruction method of the ART bonus and the advantageous section (informing game section) are devised, the player is exhausted. In addition, the interestingness increases and the data capacity of the main program can be compressed.

Signals output from the main control unit 100 to the outside include a medal insertion signal, a medal payout signal, an external output signal 1 (for example, pseudo BB signal), an external output signal 2 (for example, pseudo RB signal), and an external output signal 3 (for example, 2 type BB signal), external output signal 4 (for example, an error signal indicating that various errors have occurred), external output signal 5 (for example, CB signal indicating that the second type special agent is in operation) And relay common signal. In particular, the two kinds of BB signals are actual bonus combinations (actual bonus combinations), but the pseudo BB signal and the pseudo RB signal are assist bonus combinations ("third bonus combination") that are special combinations to which assist information is notified. Is not only collected and managed by the hall computer (external device 1), but also output to a data counter (external device 2) installed near the top of the pachislot machine to give the player a pachislot game Is used to display the main information (number of games, number of BBs, number of ARTs, appearance information, etc.). Note that the contents of the external output signal can be appropriately changed depending on the model specification.

  The main control unit 100 extracts one of the random numbers (values 0 to 65535) continuously generated by the built-in random number generation unit 103 in accordance with the operation of the start lever 9 by the player. A lottery is performed, and the drum section 2 (left drum 2a, middle drum 2b, and right drum 2c) is a three-row (multiple-row) symbol row on which a plurality of (usually 20 or 21) symbols are drawn. The symbol variation display game is started by rotating. For example, in this random number lottery, any of the small roles with a payout such as a bell, cherry, watermelon or plum is won internally (or a plurality of small roles are simultaneously internal winning), and the player performs a stop operation of the stop button unit 10. Then, the main control unit 100 individually stops the drum unit 2 at a predetermined position based on the lottery result according to the operation order. As a result, if a predetermined symbol is displayed side by side on any of the active lines set in the window portion 3, a winning is achieved. However, the number of active lines is not limited to five, but changes according to the number of inserted medals, or increases or decreases to one or more as appropriate according to the design specifications and gaming state.

  The main control unit 100 stores the total number of games executed and the number of games in an advantageous section advantageous to the player such as a pseudo bonus in the RAM 102, and the confirmation switch 21e is operated with the front door 1b opened. In this case, (the total number of games) (the number of games in the advantageous section) × 100 is calculated and displayed on either the medal stored number display LED 4b or the medal payout number display LED 4c. For example, if the total number of games is 12345 games and the number of games in the advantageous section is 8000 games, the gaming ratio in the advantageous section is about 64.803%, but the first digit is rounded off to the number “65”. Lights up and displays.

  A sub-control unit 160 is connected to the main control unit 100 via an I / O port (not shown) and a data bus, and control data (for example, coin insertion data, A lottery result, winning status data, step set value data, data indicating a switch operation state of the step setting unit 150, and the like) are output to the sub-control unit 160.

  Similar to the main control unit 100, the sub-control unit 160 is an integrated one-chip microcomputer equipped with a microprocessor with a built-in CPU, and a ROM 161 that stores a control program describing the control procedure of the entire sub-block; A counter, a timer, a register, and the like are formed, and a RAM 162 that temporarily stores information necessary for control received from the main control unit 100 is provided. This ROM 161 stores a plurality of BGM (Background Music) data. In particular, during the bonus game, a specially arranged BGM is displayed according to the production scene in order to enhance the player's feelings. Selected and played as appropriate. The main control unit 100 and the sub control unit 160 do not need to be provided separately, and may be a single control unit. However, since the capacity of the ROM 101 is limited, the sub control unit 160 is generally provided. ing.

  The sub-control unit 160 includes a display effect device 11 (including the display effect control unit 11b), a speaker unit 12, a game state display LED unit 13, and a cross key sensor via an I / O port (not shown) and a data bus. 111, the special button sensor 112, and the door abnormality signal output device 113 are connected, and the sub-control unit 160 can receive input signals from these devices and perform various controls by outputting necessary data and signals. Is possible.

  When the sub-control unit 160 performs the internal lottery using the random number extracted by the main control unit 100 in response to the start operation of the start lever 9, and receives the result notification of the big hit, re-game, various small roles or lose, Before notifying the player of the lottery result, an effect lottery is performed as to whether or not to cause the display effect device 11, the speaker unit 12, and the game state display LED unit 13 to execute the effect. When the sub-control unit 160 is won in the effect lottery, the sub-control unit 160 selects an effect image to be displayed from a plurality of effect images stored in the ROM 11c (see FIG. 13) described later, and outputs the selected effect image to the display panel 11e.

  In particular, the sub-control unit 160, as will be described later, during the ART bonus game, when a push order small combination (a plurality of first small combinations and a plurality of push order prescribed small combinations) is won internally, Assist information (auxiliary information) for aligning the first small role symbol (for example, bell symbol) being selected on the active line is displayed on the display effect device 11. As a result, the player can easily win the first small role. However, this ART bonus game is managed by the control of the main control unit 100, and the sub control unit 160 only displays assist information according to an instruction from the main control unit 100. That is, the sub-control unit 160 is not involved in the ball output performance.

  When the cross key is operated, the cross key sensor 111 outputs a direction signal corresponding to the four directions of up, down, left, and right and a determination button operation signal at the center, and the sub-control unit 160 receives the direction signal, Various video effects and winning notifications according to the signal are displayed on the display effect device 11 and sound effects are generated from the speaker unit 12. Further, the sub-control unit 160 displays a combination combination pattern, a small combination table, and a payout table on the display effect device 11 based on a signal from the cross key sensor 111.

  The special button sensor 112 outputs an ON signal (for example, a HIGH signal) when the special button 14 is operated, and outputs an OFF signal (for example, a LOW signal) when the special button 14 is released, and the sub control unit 160 receives the ON signal. Depending on the timing and the number of times the pulse is received (referred to as continuous hitting), various games and video effects, winning notifications, etc. are displayed on the display effect device 11.

  The door abnormality signal output device 113 is a device that detects the open / closed state of the door and outputs a control signal to the sub-control unit 160. When the main power supply is ON, an ON / OFF signal is generated according to the opening / closing of the front door 1b. In the state where the main power supply is OFF, it is driven by the power supplied from the sub power supply (backup battery), detects and stores the abnormal opening / closing of the front door 1b when the main power supply is cut off, and then the main power supply Even when the power is turned on, the sub-control unit 160 is notified of abnormal opening and closing when the main power is turned off. As a result, the sub-control unit 160 generates a warning sound when the main power is turned on even if the front door 1b is closed and appears to have no abnormality, so that the manager of the game hall recognizes the abnormal situation. Appropriate measures such as checking and inspection of gaming machines can be taken.

  The medal detection sensor 130 includes a medal passage sensor and a proximity sensor (not shown), and outputs a number of pulse signals corresponding to the number of medals inserted from the medal insertion slot 5. The main control unit 100 receives this pulse signal and executes counter logic operation processing at the rise and fall of the pulse signal, and sets the number of pulses on the inserted number LED 4a or the medal reserve number display LED 4b in the display LED block 4. Control is performed to display the number of inserted sheets or the number of credits increased by a corresponding number.

  The bet button detection sensor 140 includes a 1 bet button detection sensor 140a that outputs a pulse signal according to the operation of the 1 bet button, and a max bet button detection sensor 140b that outputs a pulse signal according to the operation of the max bet button 8. And are separately connected to two ports of the main control unit 100 (not shown in detail). The main controller 100 controls the number display of the input number LED 4a so as to correspond to the obtained pulse signal.

  When the player inserts a predetermined number of medals and operates the start lever 9 properly, the start SW sensor 110 outputs a start signal, and the main control unit 100 performs random number lottery or the like when the start signal is received. The change display game is started and a drive pulse signal is output to the drum unit 2. The game performed by operating the start lever 9 once is a variable display game of one game, and the player aims to increase the medal by acquiring a bonus game (big bonus or regular bonus). Repeat the game. Note that the bonus game means, for example, a first-type special combination (RB), a first-type special combination continuous operation (RBB), or a second-type special combination continuous operation (CBB).

  Then, when the stop buttons 10a, 10b, and 10c are operated during the variation display game, the main control unit 100 individually stops the rotation of the corresponding rotating drum, and a predetermined winning combination is established (the design of each rotating drum) Is displayed in a predetermined combination.) When paying out medals, the number of payouts is displayed on the medal payout number display LED 4c in the display LED block 4, and this is indicated by the number of credits. In addition, the medal stored number display LED 4b is displayed. When the payout operation is performed with the settlement button 6 or when the number of credits exceeds, for example, the maximum number of 50, the main control unit 100 controls the medal payout device 18 so that the required number of medals can be obtained as medals. It is discharged from the discharge outlet 16 and accumulated in the tray 15.

  Further, the main control unit 100 outputs control data (event data) related to internal winning etc. to the sub-control unit 160 when a replay or small role, especially a bonus, is won internally. When the sub-control unit 160 receives control data from the main control unit 100, the lighting control of the gaming state display LED unit 13 and the control of a speech synthesis LSI (not shown) for generating sound effects from the speaker unit 12 are performed. In addition, various presentation operations such as display control of characters and background video in the display screen of the display presentation device 11 are performed.

  150 is a stage setting unit, and by performing the stage setting operation of the payout rate, which will be described later with reference to FIG. A desired set value can be selected from step values 1 to 6 (or jump numbers 1, 3, 5, 7 and the like).

  A stop setting unit (not shown) is connected to the main control unit 100, and if it is on (or “1”), after the bonus game is over, the inserted number LED 4a and the medal stored number display LED 4b are displayed. The total of the displayed medals is forcibly paid out, the operation for performing the variable display game is disabled (stopped state), and a warning sound is generated from the speaker unit 12. Recently, there are many slot machines that do not have the stop setting unit.

  FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a control circuit system for controlling the drum unit.

  The drum unit 2 includes step motors 30a, 30b, and 30c for controlling rotation of the three drums of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c, and responds to the drive pulse signal from the main control unit 100. When the step motors 30a, 30b, and 30c are driven and the drive pulse signals are continuously supplied to any two phases at the same time, a suction force is generated and suddenly stops. In practice, finer stop control is performed to smoothly stop the drum unit 2 at a predetermined position.

  The step motors 30a, 30b, and 30c are four-phase 1-2 excitation methods, have a step number of 252 steps / rotation (1.43 degrees / step), and just when the main control unit 100 inputs 504 pulses of the drive pulse signal. Rotate once. The main control unit 100 returns one pulse of each index signal (reference signal or reference position signal) from each of the cylinder sensors 31a, 31b, and 31c formed of photo interrupters provided for each drum. It is possible to accurately grasp the reference position. That is, the resolution by one input pulse is 0.714 (degrees / pulse). When the resolution is further increased, the rotational position can be grasped in detail by managing the time from the input pulse to the next input pulse and the rotational speed.

  FIG. 5 is a configuration block diagram of the drum unit.

  Center portions of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c, which are thick disk-shaped rotating bodies, are connected to the rotation shafts of the step motors 30a (not shown), 30b (not shown), and 30c, respectively. It rotates in the direction of the arrow shown (ie, from top to bottom). In addition, a left swirl band 32a, a middle swirl band 32b, and a right swirl band 32c in which a plurality of types of symbols are arranged are attached to the outer peripheral portion of each drum. If the predetermined symbol is displayed on the window 3 along the active line, the winning combination is established (winning or operating). In addition, the star mark, + mark, plum mark (black circle mark) and triangle mark in the figure are shown for convenience, and are different from the actual ones. 7 symbols, bar symbol, bell symbol, watermelon symbol and cherry A design or the like is generally used. In general, the rotator belt is called a reel tape.

  Cylinder sensors 31a, 31b, and 31c (not shown) are provided for each of the step motors 30a, 30b, and 30c, and one index signal is returned from each cylinder sensor for each rotation of the step motor. It comes to come. The main control unit 100 always grasps the symbol number and the rotation angle (24 divisions / design) at the reference position (for example, the lowest position of the window 3) based on the index signal and the number of output drive pulse signals ( It has recognized.

  FIG. 6 is a drum symbol arrangement table.

  In each of the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c, a swirl belt (not shown) on which a left drum symbol, a middle drum symbol, and a right drum symbol are drawn so as to make a round at the outer periphery of each drum. It is attached to.

  As shown in the illustration, each of the swirl belts has 21 differently arranged symbols, and the big bonus symbols “Red 7”, “Blue 7”, “Yellow 7”, “BAR” are activated. ”And various small role winning symbols such as cherry, watermelon, bell, and replays that activate replays. In addition, although not shown in this figure, the “discarded symbol” does not constitute any role even if it stops on the active line, and “N” is printed in a light gray, for example, in a circle so that it does not stand out to the player Have been. In other words, the abandoned symbol is a symbol that does not involve winning.

  FIG. 7 is a structural block diagram of the drum unit, and FIGS. 7A and 7B show the state in which the right drum 2c is controlled to be pulled in time series.

  When the main control unit 100 receives the start signal of the variable display game, and the lottery result is won and the winning combination is won internally, the main control unit 100 performs pull-in control for drawing the symbol of the winning combination on the active line as much as possible. Do.

  For example, in the so-called reach state (or tempering state) in which the symbols “7, 7” are aligned on the effective line diagonally to the lower right of the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b where the big bonus combination is won internally, When the symbol “7” is positioned within 4 frames from the line (that is, when the symbol “7” is positioned within 5 frames including the symbol on the active line), when the right stop button 10c is stopped (FIG. 7A) )), The main control unit 100 forcibly pulls the symbol “7” onto the active line, and performs pull-in control to align the symbols “7, 7, 7” (see FIG. 7B). .

  On the other hand, even if one of the winning combinations is won internally by lottery, the player is not in an advantageous state unless a predetermined symbol corresponding to the winning combination is displayed on the active line. For example, a big bonus game (BB game) does not operate unless it is displayed as shown in FIG. This pull-in control is performed not only on the right drum 2c but also on the symbols of the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b. The main control unit 100 sequentially calculates the number of sliding frames for the virtual stop operation symbol frame position in advance by referring to the stop table for determining the stop position of each drum according to the random number lottery result (internal winning or losing). Thus, the sliding frame number table for the first stop operation is completed. When the stop button is actually stopped, the main control unit 100 moves the corresponding reel drum by the number of sliding symbols corresponding to the symbol number at the reference position, and then stops to stop. Take control. That is, the first stop operation position has a total of 63 frame positions (21 frames × 3 reels), and the number of sliding frames for all the frame positions is created in advance as a sliding frame number table.

  In the example of FIG. 7, in the tempered state, the symbol “7” of the right drum 2c is exactly 4 frames above and is lined up on the effective line as a target of pull-in control. However, the pull-in control is not limited to four frames, and the number of pull-in frames can be increased / decreased by software control so as to be adapted to the design specifications or legal regulations. In addition, when the random number lottery result is a win in the general game, the sub-control unit 160 assists information (operation sequence and operation order) for stopping the rotation of the rotary drum so that the symbols are displayed in a predetermined combination by the pull-in control. Assist information such as operation timing (AT information) is notified by the display effect device 11 or by voice.

  FIG. 8 is a configuration block diagram of the drum portion, and FIGS. 8A and 8B show the state in which the right drum 2c is controlled to avoid (or kick-off control) in time series.

  The main control unit 100 receives the start signal of the variable display game, and when the lottery result is lost and the combination is not established (when all the combinations are not won internally), the main control unit 100 wins or operates on the active line. Avoidance control is performed to prevent the combination of symbols for a combination (bonus, small combination, replay).

  For example, in the reach state (temple state) where the symbols “7, 7” are aligned on the effective line diagonally to the lower right of the stopped left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b without the big bonus combination being elected internally When the stop button 10c is operated in a state where the symbol “7” is positioned within one frame from the effective line by the “eye press” (for example, this is called “bita press”). A), the main control unit 100 performs avoidance control for forcibly shifting the symbol “7” to at least one point ahead so that “7, 7, 7” is not aligned on the active line. (See FIG. 8B). This avoidance control is performed not only on the right drum 2c but also on the symbols of the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b. In addition, avoidance control is performed so that an unsuccessful small role symbol does not win. These pull-in control and avoidance control (kick-off control) are performed by stop control based on a sliding frame number table created in advance by the main control unit 100 with reference to a stop table according to the internal winning situation, and as necessary. This is done by program control.

  FIG. 9 is a timing chart showing the relationship among the index signal, symbol position data (frame data), drive pulse signal, and stop button sensor signal.

  FIG. 9A shows an index signal output from each of the cylinder sensors 31a, 31b, and 31c, and the main control is performed so that T1 is constant at 0.751 seconds (that is, 79.9 revolutions / minute). Controlled by the unit 100.

  FIG. 9B shows the symbol position data of the rotating drum, and FIG. 9C shows the drive pulse signal.

  The symbol position data is generated by dividing the drive pulse signal, and 1 is subtracted from the data every 24 pulses of the drive pulse signal. That is, with reference to the index signal, the symbol position data is “21” in the range of the driving pulse signal from 1 pulse to 24 pulses, the symbol position data is “20” in the range of the driving pulse signal from 25 pulses to 48 pulses, The symbol position data is “19” when the drive pulse signal is in the range of 49 to 72 pulses, the symbol position data is “1” when the drive pulse signal is in the range of 481 to 504 pulses, and the symbol position data is 21 to 1 Turn around. That is, the symbol position data returns to “21” after “1”.

  The drive pulse signal is a drive pulse of a prescribed pattern that is input to the motor coil in order to rotate the rotating drum in a certain direction, and there are eight pattern numbers of patterns 0 to 7 as can be seen from the figure. When pattern numbers 0 to 7 are repeatedly applied to the motor coils 1 to 4 as this drive pulse signal three times (that is, 24 pulses are input), the rotating drum rotates from top to bottom by one pattern (one frame). To do.

  In particular, the input pulse phase data of the drive pulse input to the step motor is 5-bit data from 0 to 23 for driving the rotating drum by one frame, and pattern numbers 0 to 7 are phase data of the lower 3 bits. Thus, the drive pulse corresponding to the pattern number is actually applied to the motor coils 1 to 4 phase. Therefore, even when only the pattern number is stored in the work RAM (RAM 102), it corresponds to the phase data storage means for storing the input pulse phase data.

FIG. 9D shows a stop button sensor signal output when each stop button is operated. In the case of this figure, the main control unit 100 recognizes the symbol position data “11” and the input pulse phase data “10” (or pattern number “2”) at the rising edge of the stop button sensor signal.

  FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram of the left drum 2a included in the drum portion.

  As shown in FIG. 10 (A), the left drum 2a rotates in the direction of the arrow (from top to bottom), and the cherry pattern is placed on any one of the upper, middle, and lower stages of the three windows 3 indicated by solid lines. When (in FIG. 6, the lower Chile symbol) stops, a prize is won and a predetermined number of game medals are paid out. FIG. 10A shows a state where the cherry symbol is stopped at the upper stage of the window 3.

  When the player performs an operation to start the variable display game, the main control unit 100 performs an internal lottery. As a result, when the upper cherry (cherry 1) is won, the position (timing) at which the stop button is operated. ) To perform cherry symbol pull-in control (see FIG. 9) or avoidance control (see FIG. 10).

  FIG. 10 (B) shows the possible range of pull-in control. When the stop button 10a is operated at a position four frames above the position where the cherry pattern is just the upper stage, the main control unit 100 3. Stop the cherry symbol at the top of 3 (assuming that the bita symbol is in the upper position). In actuality, it takes about 36 ms to stop, so it is positioned higher by that amount, but for convenience of explanation, it is written in this way. In addition, since it is specified that the stop operation is performed within 190 ms from the stop operation, there is a case where four frames are not slipped. The data of 1 to 4 shown in FIG. 10A and 0 of the cherry symbol overlapped indicate the number of sliding symbols, and the main control unit 100 performs the stop calculation process based on the winning combination, the stop control table, and the score information. Then, the sliding frame number table is created so that the stop control can be immediately performed regardless of when and when the player operates the stop button unit 10.

  On the other hand, FIGS. 10C and 10D show the range where the avoidance control or the like is performed, and the main control unit 100 has the cherry symbols 4 from the upper position even when the upper cherry is won. When the stop button 10a is operated at a position above the frame (that is, a position above 4 in FIG. 10A) or a position slightly past the upper position, the position of the upper position is one above or below the upper position. Stop the cherry symbol down and make it lose. That is, since the middle cherry (cherry 2) or the lower cherry (cherry 3) is not won, the cherry symbol must be forcibly stopped outside the window 3.

  FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the left drum 2a, the window 3 and the symbol position data.

  As shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B, assuming that the cherry symbols on the left drum 2a are frame number 8 and frame number 19 (different from FIG. 6), the upper cherry is inside. In the case of winning, assuming that the lowest position of the window 3 is a measurement reference, the main control unit 100 reads the symbol position data “14” and the input pulse phase data “0” to the symbol position data “11” and the input pulse phase data. If the stop button 10a is operated in the range of “23” or symbol position data “4” and input pulse phase data “0” to symbol position data “1” and input pulse phase data “23”, the cherry symbol is displayed in the upper row. And stop winning. In other words, even if the stop button 10a is appropriately operated, not only winning with a probability of 10/21, but if a winner is notified, an expert can push forward and win with a probability close to 100%. .

  FIG. 12 is a symbol combination display determination diagram.

  When all three drum units 2 are stopped, the main control unit 100 performs combination display determination of symbols related to winning and operation on an effective line according to the number of inserted game medals. Generally, when one game medal is inserted, the effective line is only the first line, when two game medals are inserted, the effective line is the first line, the second line, and the third line, and when three game medals are inserted, the effective line is In addition to the first to third lines, all of the fourth and fifth lines are activated. For example, when three game medals are inserted and the two-paid-out cherry pattern of the left drum 2a is displayed on the window 3, if the upper row is four (2 × 2 lines: the second line and the second line) 4 lines), 2 (2 sheets × 1 line: 1st line) in the middle stage and 4 (2 sheets × 2 lines: 3rd line and 5th line) game medals in the lower stage. However, this effective line is a general line that has been conventionally used, and as described later, there are many lines and irregular lines recently. Note that the maximum number of payouts at one time is 15.

  FIG. 13 is a configuration block diagram of the display effect device.

  The display effect device 11 receives an effect command from the sub-control unit 160 and transmits / receives necessary information, a transmission / reception unit 11a, a display effect control unit 11b (including a ROM 11c and a RAM 11d), an LCD, an organic EL, an LED, and the like. Display panel 11e. In the case of this figure, the ROM 11c is separately provided in the display effect control unit 11b, but there is no problem even if all the video data is stored in the ROM 161. Therefore, the ROM 11c may be considered as a part of the ROM 161.

  FIG. 14 is an effect pattern table, which associates the relationship between effect commands and effect pattern data stored in the ROM.

  The effect command is composed of 1-byte length mode data and 1-byte length event data, and stores effect pattern data (mainly a moving image but also a still image), which is an effect content. .

  When the sub-control unit 160 receives control data necessary for various controls from the main control unit 100 (particularly, various types of data indicating a big hit, a small hit, a replay, or a loss of the random number lottery result are included), a random number is received. Before notifying the lottery result, an appropriate effect command corresponding to the control data is transmitted to the display effect device 11 side, and the command receiving unit 11a receives the effect command and transmits it to the display effect control unit 11b.

  Upon receiving the effect command, the display effect control unit 11b reads the effect pattern data corresponding to the effect command from the ROM 11c, expands the data in the RAM 11d, and transmits the data to the display panel 11e, thereby displaying the effect image corresponding to the effect command. It is configured to be displayed on the screen.

  15 to 17 are schematic diagrams of effect screens displayed by the display effect device.

  For example, when the sub-control unit 160 transmits ($ Z0 $ 00) as an effect command, for example, the display panel 11e displays “daytime” in the low-probability stage mainly indicating a state where there is no pseudo bonus stock or a state where the pseudo bonus is difficult to win. Display pattern 0 ”is displayed (see FIG. 15A). On the other hand, when the sub-control unit 160 transmits ($ Y0 $ 00) as an effect command, the display panel 11e is in a high probability stage that suggests a state where there is a pseudo bonus stock or a high probability state where the pseudo bonus is likely to be won. “Night effect pattern 0” is displayed (see FIG. 15B). Therefore, the player expects or desires to display a “night stage” that mainly suggests a high probability state during the game. However, a Gase effect that displays a “night stage” even when there is no pseudo bonus stock or a non-high probability state, and vice versa, a “day stage stage” with a pseudo bonus stock or a high probability state. It may be displayed. The pseudo bonus is a special game in which the assist function is activated, and the assist bonus starts when the pseudo bonus is released.

  Further, when the sub-control unit 160 transmits ($ S0 $ 00) as an effect command, the display panel 11e superimposes “Dracula Castle”, which is an image corresponding to “castle effect pattern 0”, on the blue sky background screen. It can be displayed (see Fig. 15 (A)) or overlaid on the moonlit night background screen (see Fig. 17 (B)), and then yellow, red or blue bats jump out of Dracula Castle Then, a notification image corresponding to the established combination (small combination or replay) is displayed (see FIG. 15C).

  When the effect of FIG. 15B is developed in multiple stages, it is a precursor effect that has a pseudo-bonus stock and a high probability of release, or that the expectation of pseudo-bonus release is large or has been confirmed. For example, FIG. 16A shows a state where the outer gate of “Dracula Castle” is enlarged and the iron gate is about to open. Then, the door enters the Dracula Castle and the door expands (see FIG. 16B), the door is gradually opened (see FIG. 16C), and the interior of the gorgeous “Dracula Castle” is displayed (FIG. 16). (See (D)). After that, if the hero wins the battle between the protagonist and the count of vampire Dracula, the pseudo bonus will be stocked, the pseudo bonus will be released, and the actual bonus will be released and the actual bonus will be released.

  From the state where the normal screen of the night of FIG. 17 (A) (same as FIG. 15 (B)) is displayed, the display screen is scrolled to the left, the cemetery is expanded, and the character butler screams “Olya”. A hero character appears from the grave hole in the center of the screen with the sound effect “Tiroro Lolone” (see FIG. 17 (B)), and the characters “BONUS” meaning “big hit” are displayed ( It is good also as a premiere effect by making FIG.17 (C) refer. All of these display effects are also executed by receiving control commands and event data from the main control unit 100, and the sub-control unit 160 outputting the effect commands according to the program.

  FIG. 18 is a conceptual diagram of a general lottery table.

  The lottery table is stored in a predetermined area of the ROM 101, and defines the relationship between the winning combination and the number used for the random number lottery.

  In the case of the rotary type gaming machine of the present invention, the main control unit 100 generates a random value. This random number value is generated in a random manner so that all values from 0 to 65535 (m7) are periodically generated once in one cycle (about 6.5 ms). FIG. 18A is a lottery table used in a normal state (initial state or non-RT state) with a high loss probability. When the main control unit 100 performs an internal lottery in accordance with the timing at which the start lever 9 is operated. If the random value is in the range of 0 to m1, the big bonus (BB) is won. That is, the internal lottery is to pick up (extract) one random number value at the time of start operation and to determine the winning combination by comparing with a lottery table.

  Similarly, regular bonus (RB) in the range of random numbers m1 + 1 to m2, cherry in the range of random numbers m2 + 1 to m3, watermelon in the range of random numbers m3 + 1 to m4, bell in the range of random numbers m4 + 1 to m5 The replay is won when the random value is in the range of m5 + 1 to m6, whereas the replay is lost in the range of the m6 + 1 to m7.

  Normally, the numerical values of m1 to m7 are appropriately set in consideration of laws and regulations (wind management law) and game characteristics, but the BB winning probability is about “1/400” and the RB winning probability is “1/300. The probability of winning for cherry and watermelon is about 1/50, the probability of winning for bell is about 1/6, and the probability of winning for replay is 1 / 7.3. In addition, although BB and RB are elected alone, they may be elected at the same time as a rare role.

  On the other hand, FIG. 18B is a lottery table used in the high-probability re-playing state (RT state). In the replay time, the winning range for replay is widened by α, while the lost range is narrowed by α. Thus, the winning probability of replay is set to about “½”. As a result, the probability of winning the replay corresponding to the three-piece payout is greatly increased, but the probability of being lost is lowered. As a result, the expected payout value of game medals is greatly improved or increased during the replay time. . Further, the main control unit 100 can set the expected value of the replay time to a desired value by increasing or decreasing the α value.

  Although a detailed drawing of the lottery table is omitted, there are six lottery tables 1, lottery tables 2... Lottery table 6 corresponding to the stage setting values 1 to 6 of the payout rate and the number of inserted medals (specified number), and the main control unit. Selects a lottery table according to the stage setting value and the number of inserted medals set by the stage setting unit 150, and executes a bonus game and internal lottery of a plurality of small roles in a variable display game. Note that the expected value for winning the bonus game in the internal lottery is generally the lottery table 1 <the lottery table 2 <... <The lottery table 6, so the player pursues the high setting table. However, if it is a three-sheet machine, a lottery table with one medal is not necessary.

  FIG. 19 is a payout table showing the relationship between the combination of symbols and the number of acquired medals.

  BB (Big Bonus) is a title when the BB symbol of “Red 7”, the BB symbol of “Blue 7”, and the BB symbol of “Yellow 7” are aligned on the active line. When flag 1 is set in the flag area and these symbols are aligned, the number of medals won is 0, and the player enters the big bonus game (BB1 game to BB3 game: operation of the continuous action device) and finishes with payout exceeding 359 cards. To do.

  RB (Regular Bonus) is RB design of “Red 7”, “Red 7” and “BAR”, RB design of “Blue 7” “Blue 7” “BAR”, “Yellow 7” “Yellow 7” “BAR” This is the name of the role when the RB symbols are aligned on the active line. When winning internally, flag 1 is set in the corresponding flag area, and when this symbol is aligned, the number of medals won is 0 and the regular bonus game (RB game: character) The operation enters the operation of the continuous operation device) and finishes with payout exceeding 119 sheets. Note that these accessory continuous action devices may be either a first-type special accessory or a second-type special accessory, and are appropriately selected according to design specifications. As will be described later, the RT machine model predetermines a high-probability game in which, when a bonus game started by winning a bonus combination is completed, the winning probability of the re-playing combination is higher than a predetermined probability. It can be executed the specified number of times. In addition, in this RT machine, when a specific symbol is displayed in a high-probability game, a high-probability game in which the winning probability of the re-gamer fluctuates can be executed a predetermined number of times.

  When the cherry symbol stops on the effective line of the left drum, one medal is obtained for each effective line. For example, if the effective line is the display determination diagram of FIG. 14, the number is one if the middle part of the left drum is stopped, but if it is the upper stage or the lower stage, there are two effective lines, and the payout is two sheets in total. When the watermelon symbols are aligned on the active line, 5 medals are obtained. When the bell symbols are aligned on the active line, 8 medals are obtained.

  When the replay combination is won internally, flag 1 is set in the corresponding flag area, and any of the replay action symbols is always aligned on the active line (also referred to as a replay combination prize). When the replay operation symbol is displayed, the replay without medal acquisition is activated, and the replay is performed by operating the start lever 9 of the player to lower the flag (ie, 0). That is, the next game can be played without inserting medals. The timing for lowering the flag is arbitrary.

  Next, the basic operation of the swivel type gaming machine configured as described above will be described with reference to a flowchart and the like.

  First, in a state in which the spinning machine is shipped from the factory, as a default, the warning mode when the step-out rate setting operation is performed is “ON”, and the stop setting unit 180 (stop setting switch) is “ It is assumed that “off” and the lowest step setting value “1” is set.

  When the game hall side opens the front door of the swivel type gaming machine body 1 and turns on the power switch 28c before the player plays, the power is supplied to each circuit block, and the main control unit 100 will be described later. In step S100, initial check (hardware abnormality check, etc.) and initial setting (for example, writing the stop setting flag “1”, the step setting value “1” stored in the ROM 101 and the initial value of the control data to the RAM 102) are executed. Then, the sub-control unit 160 sets the warning mode to “ON”, and when the front door 1b is closed, the variable display game can be played.

  In this state, it is assumed that the game hall side is changing the setting of the payout rate for a grand opening, a new store opening or an event in this setting state.

  FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing a main operation processing procedure of the spinning cylinder type game machine.

  An employee of the gaming hall opens the front door of the swing type gaming machine body 1 to turn off the power switch 28c, inserts the setting change key into the setting key switch 28a, and turns it to the right to turn it on (FIG. 2). When the power switch 28c is turned on again, power is supplied to each circuit block, and after the initial check and initial setting are executed in step S100, the main control unit 100 performs step In S110, it is determined whether or not the setting key switch 28a is in an ON state.

  If the setting key switch 28a is not in the ON state, the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S130. If the setting key switch 28a is in the ON state, the main control unit 100 calls a setting change subroutine in step S120 (transfers to the setting change mode).

  In the setting change mode of step S120, before the game hall side causes the player to play, the step setting value “6” having the highest payout rate is input, the start lever 9 is hit once, the setting value is confirmed, and the setting key switch When 28a is turned off, the main control unit 100 returns to step S100, sets the set value to “6”, and performs necessary processing such as initial hardware check and initial setting again.

  When the main control unit 100 outputs control data to the sub-control unit 160 in order to perform initial screen display setting in step S100, the sub-control unit 160 displays ($ Y0 $ 01) as an effect command, for example. 11 to send. As a result, on the display panel 11e, “Night effect pattern 1” composed of a screen of the full moon, Dracula Castle and the graveyard is displayed as a start screen (not shown).

  When the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S130 after changing the stage setting value, the main control unit 100 checks for occurrence of an abnormality such as a door open, a hopper error, or a selector error. If there is an abnormality, the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S140 and again after the abnormality processing. If the process returns to step S100 and there is no abnormality, the process proceeds to step S150. In particular, the main control unit 100 uses 0 to 5 as the step check value data stored in the work RAM area as the abnormality check (the step set values displayed on the medal payout number display LED 4c correspond to 1 to 6, respectively). ), And if the step set value is not within the predetermined range, a warning (“EE” error character display) is displayed by the display effect device 11, the speaker unit 12, and the game state display LED unit 13. , Light emission and warning sound) are generated, and error processing (abnormal processing in step S140) is performed.

  When the main control unit 100 proceeds to step S150, the medal detection sensor 130 or the bet button sensor 140 determines whether or not the player has inserted a quantity of game medals necessary for the game. In step S160, on the other hand, if not inserted, the process returns to step S130 and waits while looping each step until a medal insertion operation is performed.

  When the process proceeds to step S160, the main control unit 100 checks whether or not the player has started the variable display game by operating the start lever. If the game is started, the process proceeds to step S170 and is started. If not, the process returns to step S130 and waits while looping each step until a start operation is performed.

  In step S170, the main control unit 100 executes the main process of the variable display game, performs a random number lottery in accordance with the reception timing of the start signal, and picks up (extracts) the random number value and the current internal state (RT or non-RT). The lottery table is compared to determine whether or not an internal winning is made (see the explanation of FIG. 18).

  The main control unit 100 transmits a lottery result command and a game start signal to the sub control unit 160, and simultaneously rotates the drum unit 2 to display a plurality of numbers displayed on the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b, and the right drum 2c. The change display game for changing the symbols at a predetermined speed is started.

  As described in FIGS. 9 and 10, the main control unit 100 operates the left stop button 10 a, the middle stop button 10 b, or the right stop button 10 c of the stop button unit 10 to each symbol row (rotating belt). Is stopped, pull-in control for aligning the symbols corresponding to the internal winning combination on the active line, and conversely, avoidance control for preventing the symbols from being aligned. Further, when the sub-control unit 160 receives the lottery result command and the game start signal from the main control unit 100, the effect lottery for determining whether or not to perform the effect display on the display effect device 11, the speaker unit 12, and the game state display LED unit 13. The player is notified of the lottery result of the big win (bonus winning), the small role, the replay or the loss according to the operation of the stop button section 10. The main control unit 100 executes stop control with reference to the sliding frame number table.

  The main control unit 100 establishes a winning combination if a predetermined symbol is displayed side by side on the active line of the window 3 in each variable display game of the general game, and the payout table stored in the ROM 161 (see FIG. 19). ), The game medal is paid out from the medal payout device 18 and discharged from the medal payout exit 16 for the addition of the credit or the payout exceeding the storage upper limit value.

  In the big bonus game (BB game) in which three red 7s are arranged, the BB game mode is terminated when the accessory continuous operation device operates and the acquired number exceeds 360. In addition, in a regular bonus game (RB game) with three blue 7 symbols, the RB game mode is terminated when the winning action continuous operation device is activated and the acquired number exceeds 120. .

  And the main control part 100 will return to step S130, and will repeat a process sequentially, after complete | finishing the game main process of step S170.

  Next, the operation of the swivel type gaming machine having the basic configuration as described above will be described in detail with reference to the drawings and flowcharts. In particular, a revolving game machine (A + ART type) in which the winning probability of replay varies and a real bonus and an assist bonus (ART, third bonus, pseudo bonus, etc.) are mounted will be described.

  FIG. 21 is a symbol layout diagram of the drum.

  Each of the left drum 2a (first drum), middle drum 2b (second drum) and right drum 2c (third drum) has a left drum symbol, a middle drum symbol, and a right drum symbol. A body band (not shown) is attached so as to make a round on the outer peripheral portion of each drum.

  Each swirl belt has a different design (red seven design, blue seven design, BAR design, cherry design, upper bullet design, lower bullet design, replay design, watermelon D design, watermelon S design and bell design 10 20 types) are arranged.

  FIG. 22 is a symbol combination display determination diagram.

  When all three drum units 2 are stopped, the main control unit 100 performs a combination display determination of symbols related to winning and operation on the active line of the window unit 3 according to the number of inserted game medals (FIG. 22 ( A)). However, in all games (normal game, assist game, bonus game, etc.), the description will be made assuming that the specified number is three.

  FIG. 22B shows an effective line when a prescribed number of game medals are inserted, and in the order of left drum 2a, middle drum 2b, and right drum 2c, the first line (lower, middle, middle) : Center horizontal line) only becomes effective. That is, in all games, always 3 cards are inserted, and the effective line is the irregular first line.

  FIG. 23 is a payout table at the normal time and at the time of bonus operation.

  When all three reels (rotating drums or drums) are stopped, the main control unit 100 performs combination display determination of symbols related to winning and operation on the active line (see FIG. 22).

  (1) Bonus 1 (a continuous action device for a first type special accessory): (red seven) is the left drum 2a, (blue seven) is the middle drum 2b, (blue seven) is the right drum 2c is the effective line When all of the above are stopped, the number obtained is 0, and bonus 1 is subsequently given (type 1 BB1 is activated). There is no sense of incongruity because the blue seven symbols appear to be aligned in the center. When the number of acquired games exceeds 305 in a bonus 1 game, the game ends.

  (2) Bonus 2 (Consecutive Action Device for Type 1 Special): The left drum 2a (red seven), the middle drum 2b (red seven), and the right drum 2c (blue seven) are active lines When stopped together, the number obtained is 0 and bonus 2 is awarded thereafter (type 1 BB2 is activated). There is no sense of incongruity because the red seven symbols appear to be aligned on the upper right. When the number of acquired games exceeds 305 in a bonus 2 game, the game ends.

  (3) Bonus 3 (an accessory continuous actuating device related to the first type special accessory): (Cherry) on the left drum 2a, (BAR) on the middle drum 2b, and (BAR) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the effective line. In this case, the acquired number is 0 and the premium bonus 3 is given thereafter (1 type BB3 is activated). There is no sense of incongruity because the BAR symbols appear to be aligned in the center. When the number of acquired games exceeds 305 in a bonus 3 game, the game ends.

  (4) Bonus 4 (Consecutive action device related to Type 1 special feature): Left drum 2a (red seven), middle drum 2b (blue seven), right drum 2c (BAR) on the effective line When all of them are stopped, the number obtained is 0 and bonus 4 is given thereafter (type 1 BB4 is activated). There is no sense of incongruity because the two Blue Seven symbols and the BAR symbol appear to be aligned in the center. When the number of acquired games exceeds 63 in a bonus 4 game, the game ends. Corresponds to RB.

  (5) Bonus 5 (Consecutive Action Device for Type 1 Special Features): The left drum 2a (red seven), the middle drum 2b (red seven), and the right drum 2c (upper bullet) are active lines When all of the above are stopped, the number of acquired sheets is 0, and bonus 5 is given thereafter (type 1 BB2 is activated). There is no sense of incongruity because the two red seven symbols and the BAR symbol appear to be aligned on the upper right. When the number of acquired games exceeds 63 in a bonus 5 game, the game ends. If bonuses 1 to 5 have been won internally and no winnings have been made, the bonus game 1 to 5 will be carried over internally after the next game. Corresponds to RB.

  (6) Middle bell: When the left drum 2a (replay), the middle drum 2b (bell), and the right drum 2c (bell) are aligned on the active line and stopped, the bell symbol is displayed on the center straight line. Won the prize. The number of medals (game media) acquired is nine.

  (7) Lower right bell: For example, when the left drum 2a (blue seven), the middle drum 2b (bell), and the right drum 2c (replay) are aligned on the active line and stopped, a bell symbol is displayed on the lower right. And the lower right bell wins. The number of medals (game media) acquired is nine.

  (8) Upper right bell: For example, when (bell) on the left drum 2a, (bell) on the middle drum 2b, and (BAR) on the right drum 2c are aligned and stopped on the effective line, a bell symbol is displayed on the upper right. The top right bell wins. The number of medals (game media) acquired is nine.

  (9) Upper bell: For example, when the left drum 2a (blue seven), the middle drum 2b (watermelon S), and the right drum 2c (watermelon D) are aligned on the effective line and stopped, a bell symbol is displayed on the upper stage. The top bell wins. The number of medals (game media) acquired is nine.

  (10) Middle stage cherry: For example, if the left drum 2a is No. 4 (watermelon S), the middle drum 2b is No. 2 (BAR), and the right drum 2c is No. 1 (Bell) is aligned on the effective line and stops. The middle tier cherries win. The number of medals (game media) acquired is two. It is possible to display three BAR symbols on the right side. The middle cherry role is an opportunity for freezing lottery. When winning, the freezing effect (reel lock and reel effect) is performed, and at least five pseudo bonuses are stocked and immediately released.

  (11) Triple Cherry (Strong Cherry): For example, the second drum (BAR) on the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b (cherry), and the right drum 2c No. 20 (replay) are aligned on the active line and stopped. Then, three cherry symbols are displayed on the upper right, and triple cherries win. The number of medals won is two.

  (12) Double cherries (weak cherries): For example, the second drum (BAR) on the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b (cherry), and the right drum 2c on the eleventh (bell) stop on the effective line. Then, two cherry symbols are displayed on the upper right, and two cherries win. The number of medals (game media) acquired is two. Since the 9th cherry symbol stops outside the frame, the player can recognize it as a weak cherry.

  (13) Upper watermelon: For example, No. 1 (replay) on the left drum 2a, No. 6 (upper bullet) on the middle drum 2b, No. 13 (red seven) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the effective line and stopped. Then, a watermelon symbol is displayed on the upper row, and the upper row watermelon wins. The number of medals (game media) acquired is three.

  (14) Lower right watermelon: For example, No. 1 (Replay) on the left drum 2a, No. 5 (Watermelon D) on the middle drum 2b, No. 6 (Bell) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the effective line and stopped. Then, a watermelon symbol is displayed on the lower right, and the lower right watermelon wins a prize. The number of medals (game media) acquired is three.

  (15) Normal replay: For example, when the left drum 2a has the second (BAR), the middle drum 2b has the third (replay), and the right drum 2c has the fifth (replay) on the active line. On the other hand, no medal is acquired, but the next game can be performed in a state where the bet number of the game is maintained. Even if the next game is continuously arranged, it is effective, and it is possible to continue playing without consuming coins until a game in which replay is not established. An effect in which medals are automatically inserted before the start of the game is performed, and the next game can be performed by operating the start lever 9 of the player. When a normal replay is independently won in random lottery, an RP flag corresponding to the flag area is set and a replay symbol is always displayed. In appearance, the replay symbols are aligned in a central horizontal line. The replay probability does not fluctuate even if the operation pattern of replay A is displayed.

  (16) Upper right replay: For example, when the left drum 2a is numbered 1 (replay), the middle drum 2b is numbered 3 (replay), and the right drum 2c is numbered 11 (bell) on the active line, A replay symbol is displayed on the upper right, and replaying is activated in the same way as normal replay.

  (17) RT1 transition replay (replay 1): For example, No. 2 (BAR) on left drum 2a, No. 4 (bell) on middle drum 2b, No. 2 (BAR) on right drum 2c are on the active line In this case, the medals are not obtained, but the next game can be played in a state where the bet number of the game is maintained. In appearance, the replay symbols are aligned in the upper straight line. When the RT1 transition replay is won internally by random number lottery and this replay symbol is displayed, the replay 1 is activated and the replay probability fluctuates and transitions to the RT1 state (falling replay).

  (18) RT2 transition replay (replay 2): For example, when the left drum 2a (replay), the middle drum 2b (BAR), and the right drum 2c No. 14 (blue seven) are aligned on the active line In this case, no medal is acquired, but the next game can be performed with the bet number of the game maintained. In appearance, replay symbols are displayed in a straight line on the bottom. When the RT2 transition replay is won internally by random number lottery and this replay symbol is displayed, the replay 2 is activated, the replay probability is changed to about 2/3, and the RT2 state is transitioned.

  (19) RT3 transition replay (replay 3): For example, when the left drum 2a (cherry), the middle drum 2b (replay), and the right drum 2c (bell) are aligned on the active line, On the other hand, no medal is acquired, but the next game can be played with the bet number of the game maintained. In appearance, the replay symbol is displayed in a V shape. When the RT3 transition replay is won internally by random number lottery and this replay symbol is displayed, the replay 3 is activated, the replay probability is changed to about 2/3, and the RT3 state is transitioned. It should be noted that the RT3 state and the RT2 state differ in the type of re-game player to be selected and the winning range.

  (20) Multiple chance replays: For example, No. 1 (Replay) on the left drum 2a, No. 5 (Watermelon D) on the middle drum 2b, and No. 7 (Watermelon D) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the effective line. When stopped, the watermelon symbol is displayed as if it has been dropped to the right and the strong chance re-gamer is activated. Also, when the second drum (BAR) was placed on the left drum 2a, the middle drum 2b (bell), and the fourth drum (lower bullet) on the right drum 2c were aligned and stopped on the effective line, the bell pattern was dropped down to the right. Is displayed, and the weak chance re-player is activated. For both chances, the 4th (lower bullet) may stop on the right drum 2c, and one completed bullet symbol can be displayed.

  (21) Bullet replay 1: For example, when the 15th (bell) is left on the left drum 2a, the 8th (replay) is on the middle drum 2b, and the 5th (replay) is on the right drum 2c and stops on the active line. Only one completed bullet symbol is displayed on the left drum 2a, and the bullet replay 1 is activated. The player recognizes that one bullet point has been acquired and the other bullet symbol has not been retracted.

  (22) Bullet Replay 2: For example, the 15th (bell) on the left drum 2a, the 8th (lower bullet) on the middle drum 2b, and the 5th (replay) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the active line and stopped. Then, two completed bullet symbols are displayed on the left drum 2a and the middle drum 2b, and the bullet replay 2 is activated. The player recognizes that he has won two bullet points and has not been able to withdraw another bullet symbol.

  (23) Bullet replay 3: For example, the 15th (bell) on the left drum 2a, the 8th (lower bullet) on the middle drum 2b, and the 4th (lower bullet) on the right drum 2c are aligned on the effective line and stopped. Then, three completed bullet symbols are displayed on the upper stage of all the reel drums, and the bullet replay 3 is activated. The player earns 3 bullet points.

  (24) Push order small role (push order bell role) (1 to m): a special symbol (falling symbol) displayed on the active line when the bell role is missed in the push order small role described later When any one of the special symbols is displayed, the replay probability is changed, and the state shifts to the RT1 state. For example, when 1 (replay) is displayed on the left drum 2a, 4 (bell) is displayed on the middle drum 2b, and (replay) is displayed on the right drum 2c (displaying a falling symbol), the gaming state is changed. Transition to the RT1 state (others are omitted).

  The main control unit 100 manages the push order small combination and the push order replay as a group combination (or push order group combination), and during the non-AT (when the assist function is not activated), Even if any of the push order replays is won internally, information indicating that the group combination has been won is only transmitted to the sub-control unit 160, so the sub-control unit 160 cannot recognize the correct push order. The main control unit 100 transmits the winning combination information to the sub-control unit 160 after the second stop operation, and the sub-control unit 160 produces an effect based on the winning combination information.

  (25) Premier role: When the left drum 2a (lower bullet), the middle drum 2b (upper bullet), and the right drum 2c (upper bullet) are aligned on the active line and stopped, the premier role wins. The number of medals (game media) acquired is three. This premier role is a special role in which at least 10 pseudo bonuses are won by lottery, and the pseudo bonus is immediately released. Three completed bullet symbols are displayed at the bottom of all reel drums.

  FIGS. 24 to 26 are combination tables (simultaneous winning patterns for small combinations) of condition devices in a push order small combination (left first, middle first or right first).

  The push order small combination means that when the operation order of the stop button unit 10 (the push order of the stop button unit 10) is correct, the bell small combination (middle bell or lower right bell) is always won, while the incorrect answer is When winning one of the nine types of nine small roles (27 types of inhibition small roles) won simultaneously, and one of a plurality of small eyes (inhibited small portion missing symbols) It is a duplicate winning small role that sometimes displays. Since this push order winning combination wins by 1/3, it can be said that it is a 3 choice winning combination (1/3 winning winning combination). In other words, if the first operation is correct, the bell small part will always win.

  In the push order bell 1, the first stop operation that is the correct answer is the left stop button 10 a, and the subsequent operation may be either the middle stop button 10 b or the right stop button 10 c. Push order bell 1 is a push order small part of the push order type, and the purpose is to win a prize, and the payout is the same as the first small part (bell role: FRU1), the purpose of inhibiting the winning of the first small part. A plurality of types of second small combinations (in this case, three types of nine small combinations (FRU9, FRU22, FRU35) are elected simultaneously (see push order bell 1-1 in FIG. 24)). There are 9 types of push order bell 1 from push order bell 1-1 to push order bell 1-9, so the player takes 9 obstructive small roles by looking at the appearance of each reel (stop symbol). In order not to spill, the stop button part 10 cannot be operated aiming at the symbol.

  For the push order bell 2, the correct first stop operation is the middle stop button 10b, and the subsequent operation may be either the left stop button 10a or the right stop button 10c. The push order bell 2 is a push order small part of the push order type, and the payout is for the purpose of winning a prize. A plurality of types of second small combinations (in this case, three types of nine small combinations (FRU9, FRU22, FRU35) are elected simultaneously (see push order bell 2-1 in FIG. 25)). The push order bell 2 and the push order bell 1 are different only in the first small role to be won.There are 9 kinds of push order bells 2 to push order bell 2-1 to push order bell 2-9. The person cannot operate the stop button portion 10 aiming at the symbols so as not to miss the nine small-sized obstructions by looking at the appearance of each reel (stop symbol).

  In the push order bell 3, the correct first stop operation is the right stop button 10c, and the subsequent operation may be either the middle stop button 10b or the left stop button 10a. The push order bell 3 is a push order small part of the push order type, and the payout is the same as the first small part (bell role: FRU8) for the purpose of winning a prize, and the first purpose of inhibiting the winning of the first small part. A plurality of types of second small roles (in this case, three types of nine small roles (FRU9, FRU22, FRU35) and control small role FRU36 (3 dividends) are simultaneously won (in this case, (See push order bell 3-1 in Fig. 26.) Push order bell 2 and push order bell 3 only determine whether or not the control small part is won, but the control small part is not won. There are nine kinds of push order bells 3 from push order bells 3-1 to push order bells 3-9, so the player takes 9 obstructions by checking the appearance of each reel (stop symbol). In order not to spill, the stop button part 10 cannot be operated aiming at the symbol.

  27 and 28 are schematic diagrams showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series.

  For example, when the main control unit 100 causes the push order bell 1-1 shown in FIG. 24 to be internally won by random lottery, as described above, the FRU1 + FR9 + FR22 + FR35 condition devices are simultaneously operated (four different types of nine small combinations are simultaneously performed). Based on the operation sequence information (left 1st) stored corresponding to the ROM 101, it is determined that the left operation sequence is the winning operation sequence. In this state, the main control unit 100 executes a stop calculation process (draws the FRU1 symbol in the left 1st) based on the winning combination, the stop control table and the score information, and the player presses the stop button unit 10 at what timing. A sliding frame number table is created so that stop control can be immediately performed even if operated. Similarly, a sliding frame number table is created after the first stop operation and after the second stop operation (see the description of FIG. 10).

  FIG. 27A shows a state in which all the drum units 2 are rotating from top to bottom at a constant speed. When the player performs the first stop operation on the left stop button 10a in the correct operation order in the state shown in FIG. 27A, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table and sets the corresponding sliding frame number data. Based on this, the left drum 2a is stopped in the range of 0 frame to 4 frames, and control for drawing any one of the blue seven symbol / BAR symbol / watermelon D symbol into the effective line is performed (simply simply selecting the drum unit 2) It is only moved by the number of sliding frames (see FIG. 27B). For example, the number 2 BAR symbol stops on the active line, and the number 20 bell symbol is displayed on the upper stage. In the state of FIG. 27B, the main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the first stop operation so that either the middle stop button 10a or the right stop button 10c may be operated. When the player performs the second stop operation on the middle stop button 10a, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table and based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, in the range of 0 frame to 4 frames. The left drum 2a is stopped, and control for drawing the bell symbol into the effective line is performed (see FIG. 27C). In the state of FIG. 27C, the FRU 1 is in a tentative state. The main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the second stop operation so that the right stop button 10c may be operated, and when the right stop button 10c in the correct operation order is third stopped, The control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, and based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, stops the right drum 2c in the range of 0 frame to 4 frames, and performs control to draw the replay symbol into the effective line (FIG. 27 (D)). As a result, if the first stop operation is correct, FRU 1 always wins, the bell symbol is displayed in a straight line, and nine medals are paid out.

  FIG. 28 shows a case where the player performs the second stop operation of the right stop button 10c after the first stop operation of the left stop button 10a, and if the first stop operation is correct, FRU1 always wins. The bell symbol is displayed in a straight line and nine medals are paid out.

  FIG. 29 is a schematic diagram showing the symbol display state of the window portion in time series. Note that FIG. 29A is the same as FIG. 27A, and thus redundant description is omitted.

  When the player performs the first stop operation on the right stop button 10c in the incorrect operation order in the state shown in FIG. 29A, the main control unit 100 refers to the number of sliding symbols and refers to the number of corresponding sliding symbols. Based on the data, the right drum 2c is stopped in the range of 0 frame to 4 frames, and control is performed so that any one of the BAR symbol, the upper bullet symbol, and the watermelon D symbol is always drawn into the effective line (FIG. 29 ( B)). Therefore, any one of the inhibition small roles is surely stopped on the active line. In this case, since the BAR symbol is stopped on the active line, there is a possibility that only the FRU 22 wins at this time. In the state of FIG. 29B, the main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the first stop operation so that either the left stop button 10a or the middle stop button 10b may be operated. When the player performs the second stop operation on the left stop button 10a, the main control unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table and determines the left in the range of 0 frame to 4 frames based on the corresponding sliding frame number data. The drum 2a is stopped, and if there is a BAR symbol within the pull-in range, control for drawing the symbol into the effective line is performed (see FIG. 29C). The second BAR symbol can be pulled in when the second to sixth symbols are on the active line, so the pulling probability is 25% (5/20). If the 2nd BAR symbol is not retracted, the losing eye symbol is stopped on the effective line, and the inhibitory role is displayed at the third stop.

  In this state shown in FIG. The main control unit 100 creates a sliding frame number table after the second stop operation so that the middle stop button 10b may be operated, and when the player performs the third stop operation on the middle stop button 10b, The unit 100 refers to the sliding frame number table, and based on the corresponding sliding frame number data, stops the middle drum 2b in the range of 0 frame to 4 frames and performs control for drawing the watermelon S symbol into the effective line (FIG. 29 (D)). In the figure, FR 22 wins and nine medals are paid out. The 10th watermelon S symbol can be retracted when there is a 10th to 14th symbol on the active line, and the retraction probability is 25% (5/20). On the other hand, when the watermelon S symbol cannot be drawn into the effective line, the hindrance of the inhibition role (push order small role) is displayed (not shown). Since the middle first correct answer push order small combination or the right first correct push order small combination is the same stop control logic, description thereof will be omitted.

  FIG. 30 is a game state transition diagram (RT state).

  RT0 in the figure is an initial state (non-RT state) in which the winning probability of the replay combination (re-playing combination) does not fluctuate, and the game or actual bonus game (BB1 to BB5: The general game starts in the initial state (also referred to as “initial replay state”) from the next game in which the one-type accessory continuous operation device) ends. In this general game, the replay winning probability (replay probability) is about 1 / 7.3. Especially, RT1 transition replay (replay 1), RT2 transition replay (replay 2), and RT3 transition replay (replay 3) are internal. Since it is not won, in order to shift from this state to RT1, the above-mentioned push-order small-sized combination must be displayed on the active line. On the other hand, even if BB1 (bonus 1) or BB2 (bonus 2) is activated by internal winning, symbol display, or ends with a payout exceeding a predetermined number, it will only be RT4, bonus game, RT0. It is not possible.

  If the small game in the RT0 state wins an internal winning combination and misses the stop operation procedure of the stop button 10 and the symbol is displayed on the active line, the next game will be in the RT1 state (continue) The number of games is not fixed, meaning it is infinite). The replay probability in this RT1 state is also about 1 / 7.3, and most of the combinations shown in FIG. That is, the game in the initial state and the RT1 state is a game state having approximately the same 1 / 7.3 replay probability, but the normal game in which the player mainly stays is in the RT1 state. However, the RT3 transition replay is won in the RT1 state and the RT2 state, but in the RT1 state, it is always won at the same time as either BB1 or BB2. Therefore, when the RT3 transition replay symbol is displayed on the active line in the RT1 state, the player can know that either BB1 or BB2 has been won internally (specific operational effect).

  When the RT2 transition replay (replay 2) is internally won in the RT1 state and the action symbol is displayed on the active line, the RT2 state is reached in which the replay probability has increased to about 1 / 1.5. In the RT2 state, the winning probabilities for the two bonus roles and small roles are about 1/3, so the winning probability for the bonus role, small role and replay role is 1/1 (100%), and there is no loss at all. Become. The reason is that the lost area is eliminated in order to widen the winning area of the RT3 transition replay as much as possible because it is just a passing section necessary for the RT2 state to transition to the RT3 state.

  The RT1 transition replay (replay 1) is a function for quickly falling to the RT1 state because the transition to the RT2 state occurs when the RT2 transition replay is activated when the player accidentally presses the stop button unit 10 accidentally. , Has the same function as Koboshi) (falling replay).

  When the RT3 transition replay (replay 3) is internally won and activated in the RT2 state, the RT3 state is about 1 / 1.5 with the same replay probability. Further, the RT3 state is different in that the type of replay combination won in the RT2 state and the size of the winning area are different. Then, the winning area for the replay role is narrowed to have an area that is lost at 655/65536 (about 1/100). The reason is that a sense of expectation can be obtained by making an illusion of reaching out and letting the player have an illusion of reach. When the bell-shaped eye is displayed on the active line in the RT2 state or the RT3 state, the state falls to the RT1 state. Note that the RT1 transition replay is not won in order not to fall from the RT3 state to the RT1 state. On the other hand, in RT3 state, RT1 transition replay is elected simultaneously with any of BB1 to BB5, and transition to RT4 state is performed without transitioning to RT1 state, so that either BB1 or BB2 is won internally by the player. It is also possible to notify (special effect).

  Real bonuses (bonus 1 to bonus 5) can be won in the initial state, the RT1 state, the RT2 state, and the RT3 state. Bonus 1 is stopped when aligned with a central line when aiming at the blue 7 symbol on each drum in the state of internal winning alone and after the number of payouts exceeds the specified number after operation (after bonus 1 game) Return to the initial replay state. The RT4 state is a state in which bonuses 1 to 5 are internally won (bonus carryover state), and in this state, it is possible to align bonus 1 symbol to bonus 5 symbol. The reason is that the main control unit 100 gives priority to the symbol of the replay role that is won internally over the blue 7 symbol (bonus symbol), and prioritizes the symbol of the small role that is internally selected over the symbol blue 7. This is because the drum unit 2 is controlled to stop so as to be drawn on the effective line.

  FIG. 31 is a game state transition diagram (effect state). FIG. 32 is an explanatory diagram of the gaming state of the main control unit and the transition destination after BB. FIG. 33 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure for Lip continuous CZ lottery. FIG. 34 is an explanatory diagram showing the relationship between 8-bit pseudorandom numbers and numeric values. FIG. 35 is a detailed explanatory diagram of a role lottery table.

  The main control unit 100 is in charge of the control relating to the performance, and determines all the gaming states shown in FIG. 31 and gives the sub-control unit 160 information on which gaming state is currently in (game state information). Notify. On the other hand, the sub-control unit 160 controls the production, and executes various productions based on the game state information received from the main control unit 100.

  When the step set value is re-entered, the main control unit 100 clears and sets various data according to the set value to an initial state, and the player can start a normal game. In particular, when the setting is changed, the main control unit 100 draws a stay mode and a prize (game points). The stay mode is managed with a low probability (identification number 0), a normal probability (identification number 1), and a high probability (identification number 2). Time) and CZ (chance zone) are more likely to win. The prize money is determined by random number drawing from 0 to 99.

  In the case of using 8-bit pseudo random numbers, in the past, the probability could be set only in increments of 0.39% (1/256). However, since it was necessary to set the winning probability more finely, technically devised. Frozen (eg 0.006%). The main control unit 100 acquires one of 8-bit pseudo random numbers from 0 to 255 generated periodically by the random number generation circuit at a predetermined timing (see FIG. 34A). The 8-bit pseudorandom number always appears with a value of 0 to 255 once per period. The seventh bit (MSB) of the 8-bit pseudo-random number is an instruction bit. If this value is 0, a multiplication execution instruction is given, but if it is 1, it is not a multiplication execution instruction (that is, a multiplication non-execution instruction). ). Also, the contents to be instructed may be the reverse of 0 and 1 (0: execution non-instruction, 1: execution instruction). Any other numerical value from 0 to 127 can be indicated by the other 7 bits (0th to 6th bits) of the 8-bit pseudorandom number.

  FIG. 34B indicates that the instruction bit (MSB) is 0 and a predetermined number is multiplied. A 7-bit numerical value multiplied by 128 is a numeric value, and the probability is 0 each time the numerical value increases by one. It shows an increase of .781%. This resolution is twice as large as 1/256.

  In FIG. 34C, the instruction bit (MSB) is 1 and indicates that a predetermined number is not multiplied. A 7-bit numerical value is a numeric value, and the probability increases by 0.006% every time the numerical value increases by 1. It shows that This resolution is 64 times smaller than 1/256.

  FIG. 34D is a lottery table that defines a relationship between a plurality of winning information (values of prize points 0 to 99) and numbers, and is stored in the ROM 101. The prize is designed so that a prize of 10 points to 30 points is won with a probability of 80%, centering on a prize of 20 points. When winning 20 points with a probability of 30%, the MSB is 0, the 7-bit value is 38, and the true probability is 29.688% (38 × 128 ÷ 16384). When winning a prize of 15 points and a prize of 25 points with a probability of 20%, the MSB is 0, the 7-bit value is 26, and the true probability is 20.031% (26 × 128 ÷ 16384). When winning a prize of 0 points with a probability of 0.5%, the MSB is 1, the 7-bit value is 82, and the true probability is 0.500% (82 ÷ 16384). When winning 90 points with a probability of 0.02%, the MSB is 1, the 7-bit value is 4, and the true probability is 0.024% (4 ÷ 16384). And if you win 99 points with a probability of 0.01%, the MSB will be 1 and the 7-bit number will be 2. However, since 0-90 points are not won, Since the points are won, the MSB meaning 100% is 1, and the 7-bit numerical value is 0 (numerical value 1 byte data: 10000000). As processing on the program, first, whether the number is 128 is checked, and if it is 128, the winning process is performed, but if it is not 128, the number is accumulated and subtracted from the random number. In particular, when the probability is 50%, the MSB is 0, and the 7-bit numerical value is 64 (numerical value 1-byte data: 01000000). On the other hand, if the acquired 8-bit pseudo random number is 64 (1 byte data: 01000000), the numbers are accumulated and subtracted in order from 0 points, and the random number becomes negative because the prize is 20 points. The winning information of a prize of 20 points will be derived.

  The main control unit 100 generates a 2-byte random number (a value of 0 to 65535 in decimal number and 0000h in binary number) continuously generated by the built-in random number generation unit 103 as the player operates the start lever 9. -1111h) is extracted and the internal lottery process is executed.

  The role lottery table (see FIG. 35) is all 1-byte data, 1-byte N-th data from address N, 1-byte M-data from address M, and 1-byte L-th data from address L. The contents of the data are changed according to the design specifications. The MSB of the Nth data is an identification bit for identifying the number of bytes of the numerical value. If this identification bit is 0, the number of bytes of the numerical value indicates 1 byte. This is a state in which the number of bytes indicates 2 bytes. The next two bits (bit 5 and bit 6) are bonus information, which indicates that bonus is not selected at 00, bonus 1 at 01, bonus 2 at 02, bonus 3 at 03. The lower 5 bits are lottery count information, and can take a value of at least 1 to a maximum of 31 times.

  The MSB of the Mth data is an identification bit for identifying data by setting. If it is 0, it means that there is no difference in the setting of the numerical value, and it means a common numerical value. This means the number of digits. The lower 7 bits are combination information, which means a winning combination when the internal lottery process is completed. Since it is 7 bits, 128 types of winning combinations (winning combination 0 to winning combination 127) can be distinguished. The L-th data means a value of a numeric value. If the MSB of the Nth data is 0, the numeric data is 1 byte small (up to 255), and if the MSB is 1, the numeric data is 2 bytes large (maximum 65535). be able to.

  When the main control unit 100 extracts RD1, the main control unit 100 continuously pulls RD1, and determines the winning combination when the end condition based on the remaining random value and the numeric value is satisfied. The end condition is established when the remaining random number value is smaller than the currently subtracted value in the lottery table. More specifically, since the MSB of the Nth data is 1, the main control unit 100 determines that the number is 2 bytes. Since the bonus information is 00, the bonus is wrong, and since the lottery count information is (11011), it is determined that the lottery is performed 27 times (the number is subtracted).

  Since the MSB of the Mth data is 0, the main control unit 100 determines that the order is small (left first 1) because there is no setting difference and the combination information is 4. The main control unit 100 sets the Lth data (01h) as the upper byte of the number and the (L + 1) th data (10h) as the lower byte of the number. In this case, the numeric value is 384 decimal (256 + 128). Here, when the main control unit 100 determines that the remaining random number value is smaller than the current numerical value of the lottery table, the end condition is satisfied, and the small push order (left first 1) is determined as the winning combination. (Draw the lottery result). On the other hand, if the termination condition is not satisfied, the current numerical value (384) is subtracted from the remaining random number value, and the subtraction is terminated once as the remaining random number value. Next, the main control unit 100 sets the pushing order small (left first 2) by a logical operation, and determines that the pushing order small (left first 2) is the winning combination when the end condition is satisfied. In the calculation, the small push order (left first 3) is set, and when the end condition is satisfied, the small push order (left first 3) is determined as the winning combination, but the same process is repeated if the winning combination is not established. There are 9 types from 1 to 9 in the small push order (left first), 9 types from 1 to 9 in the small push order (middle first), and 9 types from 1 to 9 in the small push order (right first). Therefore, it is possible to reduce the data amount of the winning lottery table by performing the loop processing. In other words, if you do not win even after the 27th lottery (number subtraction), 27 types from small push order (left first 1) to small push order (right first 1) will be unfair. If the end condition is satisfied, one of the small push orders is won.

  Since the MSB of the (N + 1) th data is 0, the main control unit 100 determines that the numeric value is 1 byte. Since the bonus information is 01, the bonus 1 is won, and since the lottery count information is (00001), it is determined that the lottery is performed once (the number is subtracted). Since the MSB of the (M + 1) th data is 0, the main control unit 100 is a common number with no setting difference, and the combination information is 0. That is, the bonus 1 is won independently, and if the end condition is satisfied here, only the bonus 1 is won. If the combination information is other than 0, the combination of the combination and bonus 1 is won. The main control unit 100 uses the (L + 2) th data (40h) as a numeric value, and in this case, the numeric value is 64 in decimal (winning probability is approximately 1/1000). Here, when the main control unit 100 determines that the remaining random number value has become smaller than the current numerical value 64, the end condition is satisfied, and the bonus 1 is determined as the single winning (the lottery result is derived). On the other hand, if the termination condition is not satisfied, the current numerical value (64) is subtracted from the remaining random number value, and one lottery process is terminated as the remaining random number value.

  Since the MSB of the (N + 2) th data is 0, the main control unit 100 determines that the numeric value is 1 byte. Since the bonus information is 00, the bonus is wrong, and since the lottery count information is (00001), it is determined that the lottery is performed once (the number is subtracted). Since the MSB of the (M + 2) th data is 1, the main control unit 100 determines the middle cherry (rare small role: determined at the time of design) because the setting is a set number with a setting difference and the combination information is 3. . The main control unit 100 confirms the set value, and if the set value is 1, the L + 3 data (80h) is set as a number (decimal number 128), and if the set value is 2, the next L + 4 data (88h) ) As a decimal number (decimal number 136), if the set value is 3, the next L + 5 data (90h) is set as a decimal number (decimal number 144), and if the set value is 4, the next L + 6 data (A0h) is a decimal number (decimal number 160), and if the setting value is 5, the next L + 7 data (C0h) is a numerical value (decimal number 192), and if the setting value is 6, the next number When the L + 8 data (E0h) is a numeric value (decimal number 255) and it is determined that the remaining random value is smaller than the current numeric value, the end condition is satisfied and the middle-stage cherry is selected as a single winner. If the bonus information is 10, the bonus 2 and the middle cherry are won simultaneously. On the other hand, if the termination condition is not satisfied, the current numerical value is subtracted from the remaining random number value, and one lottery process is terminated as the remaining random number value. The main control unit 100 repeats the above-described procedure to execute the internal lottery process, and finally derives the lottery result (winning winning combination or unfair winning). As an effect, the data capacity of the main program can be compressed.

  The main control unit 100 manages the gaming state with the identification number 0 to the identification number 18, and sets a main state flag according to the gaming state. Identification number 0 is a normal state, and is one of the three stay modes described above. Identification number 1 is a sign of normal time, and stays when ART or CZ is won. The identification number 2 is a sign of an actual bonus at the normal time, and stays when the actual bonus is established internally at the normal time. The identification number 3 is in the normal bonuses 1 to 3 at the normal time, and stays when the real bonuses 1 to 3 are activated at the normal time. The identification number 4 is in the normal bonuses 4 to 5 at the normal time, and stays when the actual bonuses 4 to 5 are activated at the normal time. The identification number 5 is normally CZ1, and stays when CZ1 is activated. The identification number 6 is normally CZ2, and stays when CZ2 is activated. Identification number 7 is an ART standby, and stays until the RT state is changed when the ART is won. The identification number 8 is ART and stays during ART normal time. ID number 9 is a sign of CZ during ART and stays when CZ is won during ART.

  The identification number 10 is a sign of a real bonus during the ART, and stays when the real bonus is won internally during the ART. The identification number 11 is in the real bonuses 1 to 3 during the ART, and stays when the real bonuses 1 to 3 are activated during the ART. The identification number 12 is in the actual bonuses 4-5 during the ART, and stays when the actual bonuses 4-5 are activated during the ART. The identification number 13 is a battle during ART, and stays in the case of CZ No. 1 in ART. The identification number 14 is a prize time during ART, and stays in the case of CZ No. 2 in ART. The identification number 15 is an extra game during ART, and stays in the section where the number of remaining ART games is added. The identification number 16 is the ART special zone 1 and stays when the extra special 1 game is executed, but the first game is a standby game in which the special zone 1 is announced. The identification number 17 is the ART special zone 2 and stays when the extra special 2 game is executed, but the first game becomes a standby game in which the special zone 2 is announced. The identification number 18 is waiting for the ART end, and stays in the ART end waiting state.

  The main control unit 100 stays in the normal state (identification number 0) when the actual bonus is not won, and performs the mode transition lottery and the CZ / ART lottery according to the winning combination and the stay mode. This lottery is not performed when the actual bonus is won. When the stay mode is promoted, the main control unit 100 performs a lottery of the number of guaranteed games at the time of mode promotion, and determines the number of games that block falling after the stay mode is promoted. In CZ / ART lottery, both CZ and ART may be won. The main control unit 100 performs an ART lottery when a common bell regardless of the pressing order is won, and adds 1 to the number of ART stocks when it is won. Further, every time a prescribed number of games (eg, 111 games) is consumed, a CZ / ART lottery is performed. This prescribed game number counter is reset to 0 in 444 games. 111th game CZ win rate X1%, ART win rate Y1%, 222th game CZ win rate X2%, ART win rate Y2%, 333 game CZ win rate X3%, ART win rate Y3% It has a lottery table defined by C4 win rate X4% and ART win rate Y4% for the 444th game. The lottery data for the 111th game is used for the 555th game, and the lottery data for the 222th game is used for the 666th game. In the 888th game, the 444th game lottery data is used, in the 999th game the 111th game lottery data is used, and in the 1110th game (the 1111th game may be used if it is a double game), the 222nd game The lottery data is used. This has the effect of reducing the program capacity of the main control unit 100.

  When the ART stock is “0”, the main control unit 100 executes CZ type lottery when CZ is won, and determines CZ1 or CZ2. Then, the sign game number lottery is performed to shift from the next game to the CZ sign state. Even when there is CZ stock, the CZ type lottery is executed.

  The main control unit 100 performs the lottery for the number of pre-games at the time of winning ART when the ART is won or when the ART stock is “1” or more. Absent. When there are both the CZ stock and the ART stock in this normal state, the main control unit 100 is preferentially used from the ART stock. The main control unit 100 increments the ceiling counter by 1 for each 1G of the number of games in which the normal game is digested during normal time, the sign of normal time, CZ1 and CZ2, and when the value reaches 1200, the ART is reached by reaching the ceiling. Add one set. This ceiling counter is not updated in a game in which a real bonus is established, but is initialized to zero when the real bonus ends or ART ends.

  When the main control unit 100 wins either CZ or ART in the normal state and sets the number of precursor games at that time, the main control unit 100 stays at the normal time precursor (identification number 1). When the real bonus is won, the main control unit 100 becomes a normal real bonus sign (identification number 2), and when the real bonus is a CZ sign at the time of winning, the main control unit 100 retains the type of CZ as it is. Further, when the main control unit 100 wins the ART during the omen of CZ1 or CZ2, the main control unit 100 rewrites the ART omen and executes a precursor game to the ART (ART omen game).

  The main control unit 100 stays in the normal actual bonuses 1 to 3 (identification number 3) when the bonus symbols 1 to 3 are activated in the normal state or in the normal state. During the BB game with actual bonuses 1 to 3, only four types of roles, common bell role and bullet replays 1 to 3, are won, but when one of bullet replays 1 to 3 is determined as the winning role, the main control The unit 100 performs CZ and ART lottery (normal big big lottery). When the CZ is won, the main control unit 100 notifies the sub control unit 160, and the sub control unit 160 executes the CZ winning effect.

  When the bonus control pattern is ready, the main control unit 100 sets the earned point during BB to “1”, gives a fixed point when winning the bullet replay in the BB game, and when the earned point reaches 6 points CZ and ART lotteries (privilege lotteries) are performed (lottery for obtaining specified points). Acquired points are 1 point for Bullet Replay 1, 3 points for Bullet Replay 2, and 5 points for Bullet Replay 3. When the lottery at the time of obtaining the specified points is performed, 6 points are subtracted from the acquired points to become new acquired points. In addition to the earned points, there are accumulated points, and the accumulated total value of the earned points is held. If the accumulated points are 12 or more at the end of the BB, 1 is added to the number of CZ stocks. The main control unit 100 executes the stay mode lottery for the BB end game, compares the stay mode that has been won with the stay mode that was originally staying, and if the mode is up according to the lottery result, the stay mode is selected as the lottery result. And the number of guaranteed games is determined again. The sub-control unit 160 performs the effect of triggering the pistol bonus to the player, the number of accumulated points notified from the main control unit 100 at the end of the BB, and whether the CZ is successful and the ART Notify the success or failure. For example, if the accumulated point is 5, the trigger is pulled five times, the first “losing effect”, the second “losing effect”, the third “CZ winning effect”, the fourth “losing effect”, the fifth “ART” "Winning effect" to notify the success or failure.

  The main control unit 100 performs processing according to the stock held before the BB operation and the results acquired during the BB as shown in FIG. The main control unit 100 transitions to a normal state when there is an ART stock and no CZ stock before the bonus symbols are arranged, and neither the ART stock nor the CZ stock is won in the BB game. In the case of transition to the normal time precursor, the number of precursor games is reset. If there is no ART stock and there is a CZ stock before the bonus symbols are arranged, when neither the ART stock nor the CZ stock is won in the BB game, a transition is made to the normal state. When transitioning to a normal sign, the number of predictive games is reset, but the CZ type is held as it is. If both the ART stock and CZ stock exist before the bonus symbols are arranged, when neither the ART stock nor the CZ stock is won in the BB game, the normal state is entered. In the case of transition to the normal time precursor, the number of precursor games is reset.

  The main control unit 100 transitions to the ART standby state when the ART stock is won and the CZ stock is not won in the BB game when the ART stock is present and the CZ stock is not won before the bonus symbols are arranged. If there is no ART stock and CZ stock before the bonus symbols are arranged, the ART stock is won in the BB game, and when the CZ stock is not won, the state transits to the ART standby state. If there is an ART stock and no CZ stock before the bonus symbols are arranged, the ART stock is not won in the BB game, and when the CZ stock is won, the state transits to the ART standby state. In particular, the sub-control unit 160 does not perform the CZ winning effect even though the CZ stock is won, but executes the ART winning effect and notifies the player of the ART winning.

  If there is no ART stock and CZ stock before the bonus symbols are aligned, the main control unit 100 will not win the ART stock in the BB game, and will transition to CZ when the CZ stock is won, but the type of CZ remains the same. Hold. If there is an ART stock and no CZ stock before the bonus symbols are arranged, when the ART stock and the CZ stock are both won in the BB game, the state transits to the ART standby state. If there is no ART stock and there is CZ stock before the bonus symbols are arranged, when both the ART stock and CZ stock are won in the BB game, the state transits to the ART standby state. If there is ART stock and CZ stock before the bonus symbols are arranged, when both ART stock and CZ stock are won in the BB game, the state transits to the ART standby state.

  The main control unit 100 stays at the normal actual bonuses 4 to 5 (identification number 4) when the bonus symbols are aligned and the bonuses 4 to 5 are activated in a normal state or a sign of normal time. During the BB game with actual bonuses 4 to 5, only the common bell combination or the push order bell combination is won, but the push order hitting game is executed. There are six choices for the push order bell combination, and the bell combination 1 is won by the correct operation and the bell symbol is displayed in a straight line, while the bell combination 2 is won by the incorrect operation and the bell symbol is not displayed in a straight line. In the case of the common bell combination, the bell symbols are displayed in a straight line in any pressing order. When the common bell combination is won, a point lottery among actual bonuses 4 to 5 is executed. In the case of the 6-option bell, the point lottery is executed on the condition that the bell combination 1 wins in the correct push order. If the number of acquisition points is 8 or more in this gaming state, one ART stock is acquired at the end, and the state is shifted to the ART standby state. If 9 or more points have been earned, a surplus point (acquired points −8) × 10 prize money is added to the prize money (displayed prize money). If the acquired points are 7 points or less, a CZ lottery is performed at the end, and one CZ is acquired when winning. The main control unit 100 performs processing according to the stock held before the RB operation and the results obtained during the BB as shown in FIG. The main control unit 100 manages the prize money as a front prize money and a back prize money, and the back prize money is a prize money that is not displayed to the player but is stored in the memory.

  When the main control unit 100 shifts to the normal time CZ1 (identification number 5), when the end lottery opportunity (replay or lose) is won in the role lottery, the main control unit 100 executes the lottery to determine whether or not to end the CZ (CZ1 end lottery To end or continue). However, the CZ1 end lottery is not executed between the first plurality of games (for example, between three games). If it is not completed between predetermined games (for example, 18 games), CZ is successful (cleared), and 1 is added to the ART stock. Even if the actual bonus is won during CZ1 during normal times, the CZ is successful. The main control unit 100 performs a lottery to determine whether or not to execute the CZ1 end lottery in accordance with the clear lottery trigger role (other than the end lottery trigger role) in the role lottery (determining whether to win or not win in the clear final lottery) ). When the main control unit 100 determines winning in the clear final determination lottery, the main control unit 100 performs a rewriting lottery for rewriting the remaining number of games, and does not execute the CZ1 end lottery for the remaining number of games. However, rewriting is not performed when the number of remaining games increases. That is, if the remaining number of games is N1, the remaining N2 is won in the rewriting lottery, and the condition N1 <N2 is satisfied, N2 is discarded and the remaining number of games remains N1. When the main control unit 100 determines the end in the CZ1 end lottery, CZ fails, but the lottery determines whether to acquire CZ stock (CZ pullback lottery). However, if the CZ is successful, the CZ pullback lottery is not performed.

  When the main control unit 100 shifts to the normal time CZ2 (identification number 6), when the lottery opportunity is won for each game, the main control unit 100 performs the point acquisition lottery according to the winning combination. If a certain point or more is acquired within a predetermined number of games (for example, within 20 games), the CZ is successful, but if it is not acquired, the CZ fails. Even if the actual bonus is won during CZ2 during normal times, the CZ is successful. When the CZ is successful, the main control unit 100 performs a rewriting lottery for rewriting the remaining number of games. However, rewriting is not performed when the number of remaining games increases. That is, if the remaining number of games is N1, the remaining N2 is won in the rewriting lottery, and the condition N1 <N2 is satisfied, N2 is discarded and the remaining number of games remains N1. If a non-lottery opportunity (replay or loser) is won, no point acquisition lottery will be performed. When CZ failure occurs, the final game lottery is executed according to the winning combination, and either CZ success or CZ failure is determined. When the main control unit 100 determines CZ failure, the main control unit 100 performs a lottery to determine whether to acquire CZ stock (CZ pullback lottery). However, if the CZ is successful, the CZ pullback lottery is not performed.

  The main control unit 100 shifts to ART standby (identification number 7) when the number of ART games is 1 or more and the RT state is RT0 to RT2. However, even if the RT state falls due to a push order mistake during ART, it does not enter ART standby. When the main control unit 100 shifts to ART standby, when a lottery opportunity is won for each game, the main control unit 100 performs a prize winning lottery according to the winning combination. However, if a non-lottery opportunity (replay or losing) is won, the prize winning lottery will not be performed. Further, the main control unit 100 determines the continuation rate by lottery, executes the winning lottery using this continuation rate, and determines whether or not to perform the next ART1 set (ART continuous lottery). Specifically, if the continuation rate determined by lottery is 80%, it will be won with a probability of 80%, and in the case of winning, it will be decided in advance that the next ART1 set will be performed after the current ART1 set is performed. On the other hand, in the case of a loss, when the current ART1 set is terminated, the state is shifted to the normal state (identification number 0) after waiting for ART termination (identification number 18). This is because when one ART stock is used to shift to ART1 set game, even if the ART stock is elected in this ART1 set, it will temporarily fall to the normal state. In other words, with one stock, the game moves to at least one ART1 set game, and once all ART1 sets have been executed, after returning to the normal game, the next stock is transferred to the next ART1 set. . Also, when the next ART1 set is performed after the current ART1 set, the continuation rate is determined again by lottery at the start of the first game, and the winning lottery of the next set is executed using this continuation rate To do. That is, the winning lottery is repeatedly executed in the ART1 set start game, and it is determined in advance whether or not to perform the next set. When the ART falls (that is, non-continuation) for one stock, the state is always shifted to the normal state (identification number 0). In the ART 1 set game, when the real bonuses 1 to 3 are won, the ART stock lottery is executed, and when the bonus is won, at least one ART stock is added.

  There are three types of additional effects that occur during ART, and there are a plurality of additional scenarios 1 to N that define the order of generation of the additional effects, and the main control unit 100 uses the additional scenarios used in the current ART1 set and the next Two sets of additional scenarios used in the ART 1 set are determined by lottery (ART additional scenario lottery). Thereafter, when one additional scenario used in the current ART1 set is completed, a new scenario is determined by lottery.

  When the RT2 transition replay is won in the state of RT1, the main control unit 100 instructs the sub-control unit 160 with a navigation command to notify the operation order in which the RT2 symbols are displayed. When the player operates the stop button unit 10 in the notified operation order, the state shifts to the RT2 state. Similarly, when the RT3 transition replay is won in the state of RT2, the operation order in which the RT3 symbols are displayed is notified, and when the player operates the stop button unit 10 in the notified operation order, the state shifts to the RT3 state.

  The main control unit 100 controls the external signal 4 (ART signal) of the external concentration terminal board 170 to be ON and OFF. (1) When the main state flag is “ART standby” and the RT state is RT2, After the game in which RT3 transition replay (push order replay) is won, the next game is turned from the OFF state to the ON state when the start lever 9 is turned ON. (2) When the main state flag is “ART standby” and the RT state is RT1, RT2 transition replay (push order replay) is won, and after the game in which the stop operation order of the stop button unit 10 is wrong, the next game is finished. When the start lever 9 is turned on, it is switched from the OFF state to the ON state. (3) When the main state flag is “ART standby” and the RT state is RT2 or RT3, the game in which the small combination of the pushing order is won and the stop operation order of the stop button unit 10 is not mistakenly given out 9 cards. After the end, when the start lever 9 of the next game is effectively operated and turned ON, it is changed from the OFF state to the ON state. (4) When the main state flag is “ART standby” and the RT state is already RT3, after the game in which one of the replays is won, the start lever 9 of the next game is turned on. From the state to the ON state.

  On the other hand, the main control unit 100 (5) is a game in which the main state flag is “ART end waiting state”, the push order small combination is elected, and the stop operation sequence of the stop button unit 10 is erroneously not paid out. When the final stop operation is completed (button release), the ON state is changed to the OFF state. (6) When the final stop operation of the game on which any of the operation patterns of bonus 1 to bonus 5 is displayed is ended (button release), the state is changed from the ON state to the OFF state.

  When the number of ART games is 1 or more and the CZ in the ART is not won, the main control unit 100 stays in the ART normal time (identification number 8), and if the winning combination is a lottery trigger role, according to the lottery trigger role Then, a lottery for determining whether or not to acquire the CZ stock during ART is executed (CZ lot during ART). When the CZ stock during ART is acquired, it is determined by lottery whether to play a battle game (including enemy types) or a prize time game (type lottery). Depending on the enemy type, the enemy's HP (hit points or physical strength), the battle end probability at the falling lottery, and the number of guaranteed games differ. When the battle game is determined by the type lottery, the main control unit 100 performs the battle precursor game number lottery and shifts from the next game to the CZ precursor state (identification number 9) during ART. However, when the next game suddenly becomes a battle in the ART (identification number 13), a battle-guaranteed game number lottery is executed, and it is determined by lottery how many games this battle game will continue from the start. When the prize time game is determined by the type lottery, the main control unit 100 performs the prize time precursor game number lottery and shifts from the next game to the CZ precursor state (identification number 9) during ART. However, when the number of precursor games becomes equal to or greater than the number of remaining ART games, the number of precursor games is rewritten to the value of (number of remaining ART games minus 1), but when the number of remaining ART games is 1 or less, the number of precursor games is set to “0”. "

  When the main control unit 100 is staying at the normal ART time (identification number 8) and the replay train number (the number of consecutive replay wins) is a multiple of 5 or 10, the rep consecutive CZ lottery is performed. Run to determine whether to acquire CZ stock during ART. In addition, there are lottery table A (low probability) with a predetermined winning probability for 5 replay runs, and lottery table B (high probability) with a high win probability for 10 replay runs, resulting in 5 replay runs. Then, the lottery table A (low probability) is used to draw once. When the number of replay trains reaches 10, the lottery table B (high probability) is used for lottery to reset the counter. Further, the lottery is repeated alternately such that the replay station number is 15 and the lottery table A (low probability), the play station number is 20 and the lottery table B (high probability).

  Here, an internal processing procedure of the main control unit 100 will be described with reference to FIG. When the counter updating combination such as the replay combination (replay, BB, etc.) is won, the main control unit 100 adds 1 to the lip continuous counter (replay continuous counter) in step S200, and the lip continuous counter reaches 5 in step S210. To determine. The main control unit 100 terminates this subroutine if the Lip continuous counter has not reached 5, while if it has reached 5, the Lip continuous counter is reset to 0 in Step S220, and the Lip continuous flag is 0 in Step S230. Determine whether or not. If the Lip link flag is 0, the counter value (5 + 5 × Lip link flag value) is 5, and if the Lip link flag is 1, the counter value (5 + 5 × Lip link flag value) is 10. The main control unit 100 selects the lottery table A (low probability) for 5 replay trains in step S240 if the lip train flag is 0, while 10 replay trains in step S250 if the lip train flag is 1. Lottery table B (high probability) is selected, and CZ lottery is executed in step S260. The main control unit 100 adds 1 to the Lip link flag in Step S270, determines whether or not the Lip link flag is 2 in Step S280, and ends if it is not 2, while sets the Lip link flag to 0 if it is 2. Reset to and exit.

  Other specifications of the CZ lottery include (1) a lottery table A (low probability) with a predetermined winning probability for 5 replay runs and a lottery table B (high probability) with a high win probability for 10 replay runs. Yes, if the number of replays reaches 5, the lottery table A (low probability) is used to draw once. When the number of replays reaches 10, the lottery is performed once using the lottery table B (high probability), and is further performed twice using the lottery table A (low probability). That is, if the replay station number is N, and N is divisible by 5, if the quotient is M, the lottery is performed M times using the lottery table A (low probability). If N is divisible by 10, and the quotient is M, lottery is performed M times using the lottery table B (high probability), and M × 2 lotteries are performed using the lottery table A (low probability). (2) If the number of replay stations is N and N is divisible by 5 and not divisible by 10, the lottery table A (low probability) is used to draw once, while if N is divisible by 10, the lottery table Draw once using B (high probability). In this way, the lottery table A (low probability) and the lottery table B (high probability) can be used alternately.

  When the CZ lottery during ART is executed according to the lottery trigger, the main control unit 100 determines whether or not to perform a fake effect for giving the player a sense of expectation when the CZ is not properly selected. The main control unit 100 performs a lottery to determine whether or not to set the number of fake games. In the case of winning, the number of fake games is determined by lottery.

  When the main control unit 100 is staying at the normal ART time (identification number 8), the main control unit 100 performs the mode transition lottery according to the winning combination and the stay mode, similarly to the normal state (identification number 0). In addition, the main control unit 100 executes a lottery with direct winnings according to the winning combination and the stay mode, and if the winning is won, the main control unit 100 lotteries whether to place the winnings on the front side or the back side (the direct winning type type lottery). However, if the number of fake games is one or more, the prize is placed directly and the back is performed without executing the type lottery (back prize).

  The main control unit 100 shifts to a CZ precursor during the ART (identification number 9) when CZ is won in the normal ART and the number of precursor games is set. Depending on the winning combination and the stay mode, a prize-winning lottery and CZ lottery during ART are executed. The stay mode is managed with a low probability (identification number 0), a normal probability (identification number 1), and a high probability (identification number 2). Time) and CZ (chance zone) wins and the probability of stocking increases. The main control unit 100 executes a mode transition lottery and a lip consecutive CZ lottery, and in the case of a battle game, executes a battle-guaranteed game number lottery.

  The main control unit 100 stays at the ART bonus real bonus sign (identification number 10) when the real bonus is won internally during the ART. When the real bonuses 1 to 3 are activated during the ART, the main control unit 100 stays in the real bonuses 1 to 3 (identification number 11) and determines whether or not to win a prize according to the winning combination. Lottery. When the real bonuses 4 to 5 are activated during the ART, the main control unit 100 stays in the real bonuses 4 to 5 (identification number 12) during the ART and executes the pushing order game.

  When performing the battle game as CZ, the main control unit 100 stays in the ART battle (identification number 13), but does not subtract the number of remaining ART games during the battle game. The main control unit 100 draws the damage to be given to the enemy in accordance with the damage giving role, when the winning role is a damage giving role. The damage point given from the enemy's HP is subtracted, and when the enemy's HP reaches 0, the victory is successful (CZ success). Even if the actual bonus is won internally during CZ, it will be CZ success. The first game of the battle game is an opening game, which is a guarantee game that does not end the battle. When there is no guaranteed game and the victory is not confirmed, the main control unit 100 performs lottery when the winning combination is an end lottery and decides whether to end the battle game or continue the battle game (end lottery during battle). . When the push order replay is won internally, it is determined whether or not to instruct the push order in which the bullet symbol stops within the frame (bullet conversion instruction) (navigation generation lottery during battle). If the enemy's HP is 0 in the first game of the battle game, the battle will always end and win regardless of the winning role in the second game. The main control unit 100 rewrites the ART remaining game number to “2” when the number of remaining ART games is 1 or less when the end is determined by the lottery during the battle other than establishment of the actual bonus and is defeated.

  When the main control unit 100 performs a prize time game as CZ, the main control unit 100 stays in the ART award time (identification number 14). do not do. The main control unit 100 draws a prize point according to the prize-giving role when the winning role is a prize-giving role, but lose (unfair) or normal replay is not a prize-giving role. No prize points will be drawn. For the prize winning combination, a magnification is predetermined according to the type. For example, push order small role is 1 time, double cherry and bullet replay 1 is double, weak chance is 3 times, triple cherry and bullet replay 2 is 4 times, strong chance is 6 times, middle cherry and bullet Replay 3 is set to 10 times, and middle tier cherry and bullet replay 3 is set to 10 times. The first game magnification of the award time game is fixed to “1”, and when the double cherries are won in the first game, the double cherries are multiplied by 10 (1 pt × 1) and multiplied by 1 (10 pt × 1). Prize points to be won will be 10 points. In addition, the magnification “2” of consecutive cherries is stored until the next prize-winning combination is won. Even if normal replay is won in the second game, no prize points are drawn, but the magnification remains at 2 (the magnification is not updated when the replay is activated). When the bullet replay 3 is won in the third game, the point 1000 of the bullet replay 3 and the magnification 2 are multiplied (1000 pt × 2), and the prize points to be earned are 2000 points. The magnification “10” of the bullet replay 3 is stored until the next winning combination is won. In other words, during the award time game, the value obtained by multiplying the carryover ratio determined in the previous game by the prize-winning points won in the current game becomes the prize point, and the prize-winning ratio of the current game is carried over. This will be the carryover ratio for the next game.

  The main control unit 100 determines whether or not to instruct the order in which the bullet symbols stop within the frame (bullet conversion instruction) when the push order replay is internally won (navigation lottery during award time). When there is no guaranteed game, the main control unit 100 performs an end lottery when the winning combination is an end lottery, and determines the end of the award time game or the continuation of the award time game (award time end lottery). The main control unit 100 rewrites the number of remaining ART games to “2” when the number of remaining ART games is 1 or less when the end is determined by the prize time end lottery other than the real bonus establishment.

  When the main control unit 100 stays in the extra game during the ART (identification number 15), the main control unit 100 executes the extra game that ends in one game. In this extra game, after 1000 points are subtracted from the winning prize, the number of games to be acquired is determined by lottery according to the winning combination, but if the actual bonus is won internally, 3000 games are added. If a prize of 1000 points or more remains after an extra game other than the actual bonus, one of them is added again without transitioning to ART normal. If the add-on scenario is over, the next add-on scenario is determined by lottery.

  When the main control unit 100 stays in the ART special zone 1 (identification number 16), the main control unit 100 executes the extra special 1 game. The first game in the ART special zone 1 is an opening game (standby 1), and after subtracting 1000 points from the prize money, only the prize money is added directly, and the remaining number of games is not subtracted or added. The main control unit 100 executes a lottery drawing with a winning prize directly, and, when winning, draws whether the winning prize is put on the front side or the back side (pick-up direct prize type lottery). In addition, according to the winning combination, the number of games to be acquired is determined by lottery. When the main control unit 100 adds the remaining game in the specialization 1 game, the main control unit 100 manages the remaining game in the specialization 1 game again by the ST method (special time method). The main control unit 100 forcibly adds a predetermined number of games (for example, 10 games) when the number of remaining games reaches 0 without any additional addition, and sets the remaining number of games to a predetermined value N ( For example, return to 5 games). If an actual bonus is established in the specialization 1 state (including the opening), 3000 games are added. After the specialization 1 state other than the actual bonus, if 1000 or more prizes remain, one of them is added again without shifting to the ART normal. If the add-on scenario is over, the next add-on scenario is determined by lottery.

  When the main control unit 100 stays in the ART special zone 2 (identification number 17), it executes an extra special 2 game (an extra game for each game). The first game in the ART special zone 2 is an opening game (standby 2), and after subtracting 1000 points from the prize money, only the prize money is added directly, and the remaining number of games is not subtracted or added. The main control unit 100 performs lottery for the end of the special zone 2 at the time of replay or loss. However, if the number of guaranteed games is set in advance and the value is 1 or more, the process does not end. The main control unit 100 executes a lottery with direct prize winning, and when winning, the main control unit 100 draws whether the winning prize is placed on the front side or the back side (direct prize directing type lottery). Further, the main control unit 100 determines the number of games to be acquired by lottery according to the winning combination. When the number of acquired games is 0, the continuation rate (loop rate) and the guaranteed number of times N are used. A loop lottery is executed, and the number of acquired games is automatically calculated and determined. For example, if the continuation rate is 80%, the guaranteed number of times is 5 and 10 games are added for each winning, the minimum guaranteed number of acquired games is 50 games (5 times × 10 games / time). Also, since the continuation rate is 80%, it is continued on average 4 times and is finished for the fifth time, so the number of acquired games is 40 games (4 times × 10 games / time), and the total number of acquired games is 90 games as a result. . If an actual bonus is established in the specialization 2 state (including the opening), 3000 games are added. After the special 2 state other than the actual bonus, if 1000 points or more remain, one of them is added again without shifting to the ART normal. If the add-on scenario is over, the next add-on scenario is determined by lottery.

  The main control unit 100 stays on the ART end waiting (identification number 18) when the remaining number of games and the remaining set number of ART become 0, and in this state, the normal state (identification number) is displayed when the pressing order bell is displayed. 0). The main control unit 100 determines a prize to be acquired according to the winning combination (end lot waiting state direct prize place direct lottery). However, this lottery is not performed when replaying or not winning. The main control unit 100 executes CZ or ART lottery when transitioning from the end wait state to the normal state (end wait state pull-back lottery).

  FIG. 36 is a detailed explanatory diagram of the instruction monitor display. 37 to 39 are explanatory diagrams showing the relationship between instruction information and instruction monitor display and instruction contents.

  In this embodiment, the instruction monitor display is performed using the first place of the medal payout number display LED 4c. The indication monitor display is triggered when the instruction occurs in response to the value of internal winning information, the value of RT information, the value of push order information, and the navigation mode information after the start lever is actuated. Set (0-6). Thereafter, when the spinning cylinder starts rotating and the operation of the stop button is accepted, the set instruction information (0 to 6) is displayed at the first place of the medal payout number display LED 4c (lights up). ). When all the cylinders are stopped, the indication monitor display is turned off. The relationship between the instruction information and the instruction monitor display and the instruction content is as follows. “No display” displays “0”.

  When the value of the navigation mode information is “0” when the conditional device related to the instruction function is activated, a value grouped from the event command (winning data command: A9H) is transmitted to the peripheral board (sub-control unit 160) ( (See FIG. 37A). The group value of push order bell 1 to push order bell 27 is 80H, and the group value of push order replay 1-1 to push order replay 2-6 is 40H. The control unit 160 can recognize the push order bell or the push order replay, but cannot recognize the navigation information because the order to be operated cannot be recognized.

  When the value of the navigation mode information is “1” when the conditional device related to the instruction function is activated, the values of some instruction information and the grouped values are changed from the event command (winning data command: A9H) to the peripheral board (sub-control). Part 160) (chance zone 2, see FIG. 37B). In the case of the condition devices 01EH to 026H (push order bells 1 to 27), 50% sorting lottery is performed and displayed on the instruction monitor. There are three choices for the pushing order bell. If the first operation is correct, the bell small combination (winning purpose small combination) wins regardless of the order of the second operation and the third operation. Specifically, for 01EH to 026H (push order bell 1 to push order bell 9), the left 1st is correct, so either “1” indicating left middle right or “2” indicating left / right middle is 50%. Is determined by lottery and displayed on the instruction monitor, and the determination information is transmitted to the peripheral board (sub-control unit 160). If the determination information is “1”, the sub-control unit 160 notifies the navigation information in the order of left middle right, while if the determination information is “2”, the sub control unit 160 notifies the navigation information in the order of left and right.

  Similarly, for 027H to 02FH (push order bells 10 to 18), middle 1st is the correct answer, so either “3” indicating middle left or right or “4” indicating middle right or left is determined with a 50% probability. Then, the information is displayed on the instruction monitor and the decision information is transmitted to the peripheral board (sub-control unit 160). If the determination information is “3”, the sub-control unit 160 notifies the navigation information in the middle left-right order. If the determination information is “4”, the sub-control unit 160 notifies the navigation information in the middle right-left order. Also, for 030H to 038H (push order bells 19 to 27), the right 1st is the correct answer, so either “5” that indicates the middle left or right or “6” that indicates the middle right or left is determined with a 50% probability. Then, the information is displayed on the instruction monitor and the decision information is transmitted to the peripheral board (sub-control unit 160). If the determination information is “5”, the sub-control unit 160 notifies the navigation information in the order of right and left, while if the determination information is “4”, the sub-control unit 160 notifies the navigation information in the order of right and left. The main control unit 100 transmits 40H as the group value of the push order replay 1-1 to the push order replay 2-6. The control unit 160 can recognize the push order replay, but cannot recognize the navigation information because it cannot recognize the order to be operated.

  When the value of the navigation mode information is “2” when the condition device related to the instruction function is operated, the values of some instruction information and the grouped values are changed from the event command (winning data command: A9H) to the peripheral board (sub-control). Unit 160) (waiting for termination, see FIG. 38A). The group value of the push order bell 1 to the push order bell 27 is 80H, and the control unit 160 can recognize the push order bell, but cannot recognize the navigation information because the order to be operated cannot be recognized. The push order replay 1 is a replaying role for shifting from the RT1 state to the RT2 state, and the pushing order replay 2 is a replaying role for shifting from the RT2 state to the RT3 state. In 02H (push order replay 1-1) or 08H (push order replay 2-1), the left middle right order is correct, so “1” indicating correct operation is displayed on the instruction monitor and the peripheral board (sub-control) Unit 160). Since 03H (push order replay 1-2) or 09H (push order replay 2-2) is correct in the left-right middle order, “2” indicating correct operation is displayed on the instruction monitor and the peripheral board (sub-control unit) 160). 04H (push order replay 1-3) or 0AH (push order replay 2-3) is correct in the middle / left / right order. 160).

  Similarly, since 05H (push order replay 1-4) or 0BH (push order replay 2-4) is correct in the middle right / left order, “4” indicating correct operation is displayed on the instruction monitor and the peripheral board ( Instruction information is transmitted to the sub-control unit 160). In 06H (push order replay 1-5) or 0CH (push order replay 2-5), the right and left middle order is correct, so “5” for instructing correct operation is displayed on the instruction monitor and the peripheral board (sub Instruction information is transmitted to the control unit 160). Since 07H (push order replay 1-6) or 0DH (push order replay 2-6) is correct in the order of right, middle and left, “6” for instructing correct operation is displayed on the instruction monitor and the peripheral board ( Instruction information is transmitted to the sub-control unit 160).

  When the value of the navigation mode information is “3” when the condition device related to the instruction function is activated, the value of the instruction information is transmitted from the event command (winning data command: A9H) to the peripheral board (sub-control unit 160) ( (See FIG. 38B). The numerical values (1 to 6) for instructing the correct operation of the push order bell and the push order replay are displayed on the instruction monitor as described with reference to FIGS. Instruction information is transmitted to the control unit 160). When the RT device is “0” when the conditional device related to the instruction function is operated, even if the value of the navigation mode information is “1” to “3”, the value of the navigation mode information is the same as “0”. The grouped values from the event command (winning data command: A9H) are transmitted to the peripheral board (sub-control unit 160) (see FIG. 39). The group value of push order bell 1 to push order bell 27 is 80H, and the group value of push order replay 1-1 to push order replay 2-6 is 40H. The control unit 160 can recognize the push order bell or the push order replay, but cannot recognize the navigation information because the order to be operated cannot be recognized.
