  FIG. 4 (A) shows a winning area (winning mode) including small roles that can be won in the non-RT state to the RT2 state and the bonus established state, and stop buttons B1 to B3 executed at the time of winning each winning area. It is a figure which shows the small part which can be awarded according to the operation mode. As shown in FIG. 4 (A), in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, bells, special small roles 1 to 6 and rare roles are given as winning small roles (hereinafter referred to as “winning roles”). The winning area “batting order bell 1” to winning area “batting order bell 6” is set as the winning area (winning mode) of the small part where multiple types of winning combinations are won in duplicate. Yes.

  Here, the “batting order” means the order in which the pressing operation is performed on the stop button B1 to the stop button B3, and includes six hitting orders of the hitting order 1 to the hitting order 6. In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, pressing the stop button B1 corresponds to an operation for stopping the first reel R1, and pressing the stop button B2 is an operation for stopping the second reel R2. Correspondingly, pressing the stop button B3 corresponds to an operation for stopping the third reel R3. For this reason, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 changes, the stopping order of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 changes.

  The batting order 1 is a batting order referred to as a so-called forward push in which a stop operation is executed in the order of the stop button B1, the stop button B2, and the stop button B3. The batting order 2 is a batting order called so-called scissors, in which stop operations are executed in the order of the stop button B1, the stop button B3, and the stop button B2. The batting order 3 is a batting order in which stop operations are executed in the order of the stop button B2, the stop button B1, and the stop button B3. The batting order 4 is a batting order in which the stop operation is executed in the order of the stop button B2, the stop button B3, and the stop button B1. The batting order 5 is a batting order in which stop operations are executed in the order of stop button B3 → stop button B1 → stop button B2. The hitting order 6 is a hitting order called so-called reverse pressing in which stop operations are executed in the order of stop button B3 → stop button B2 → stop button B1.

  In the following description, the reel control means 130 starts the rotation of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, and the player first presses one of the effective stop buttons B1 to B3. Also described as the first stop operation, the player can effectively stop the rotation of one reel corresponding to the stop button pressed by the first stop operation among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. Depressing one of the buttons B1 to B3 is also referred to as a second stop operation, and among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, a reel corresponding to the stop button pressed by the first stop operation; Stop button B that is effective for the player in a state in which the rotation of the two reels with the reel corresponding to the stop button that has been pressed in the second stop operation has stopped. Also described as the third stop operation that depresses either the ~ stop button B3.

  The winning area “batting order bell 1” to the winning area “batting order bell 6” is a winning area in which the bell and any one of the special small roles 1 to 6 overlap. Here, when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed in an appropriate batting order at the time of winning in the winning area “batting order bell 1” to the winning area “batting order bell 6”, the bell is pressed at the timing of pressing each stop button. For example, when the winning combination is a winning combination in the winning area “batting order bell 1”, when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in the batting order 1, the winning combination is made. In addition, special small role 1 to special small role 6 are pressed by stop button B1 to stop button B3 in a batting order other than the batting order that can win a bell when winning in winning area “batting order bell 1” to winning area “batting order bell 6”. It is a winning combination that can be won when operated and when each stop button is pressed appropriately. For example, when the winning area “batting order bell 1” is won, any one of batting order 2 to 6 When the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in the order of hitting and the pressing timing of each stop button is appropriate, a prize is awarded.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pushed down in a batting order in which the bell cannot be won when winning the winning area “batting order bell 1” to the winning area “batting order bell 6”. In addition, when each stop button is pressed down at a pressing timing at which the special small combination 1 to special small combination 6 cannot be won, a missing (non-winning) that does not win any combination occurs. Further, in the following description, the batting order in which the bells can be won when winning in the winning area “batting order bell 1” to the winning area “batting order bell 6” is also referred to as correct answer batting order. In addition, a batting order in which a bell cannot be won at the time of winning from the winning area “batting order bell 1” to the winning area “batting order bell 6” is also described as an incorrect answer batting order.

  The winning area “Rare Role” is configured so that the rare role can be won regardless of the order of hitting and the timing of pressing, so that the probability of winning is lower than the winning area including other small roles. It is configured. The winning area “missing role” is configured so that the winning combination can be won when the winning timing of the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is appropriate, and the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed. However, if it is a pressing timing at which it is not possible to win a winning combination, no winning combination is made (no winning).

  FIG. 4B is a diagram showing a winning area of small roles that can be won in the first bonus state. As shown in FIG. 4 (B), JAC is all of the small roles that can be won in the non-RT state to the RT2 state and the bonus establishment state of the bell, the special small role 1 to the special small role 6, the rare role and the missing role. It is a winning area that is won in duplicate. In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the winning area “JAC” is won, in the reel stop control by the reel control means 130, the bell with the largest payout number at the time of winning wins with priority over other roles. The first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are controlled. As a result, when the winning area “JAC” is won, the bell wins regardless of the order of hitting the stop buttons B1 to B3 and the pressing timing.

  Next, the winning area including replay will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, as the winning area including only the replay, the winning area “normal replay 1”, the winning area “normal replay 2”, and the winning area “batting order replay 1” to The winning area “batting order replay 6” and the winning area “rare replay” are set.

  The winning area “normal replay 1” is a winning area set in each of the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D, and is configured so that the normal replay can be won regardless of the batting order and the pressing timing. Has been. The winning area “normal replay 2” is a winning area set in each of the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D. The normal replay and the normal replay are symbol combinations indicating winning patterns (hereinafter “winning symbols”). A special replay 1 that is different from other replays is won, and a normal replay can be won regardless of the batting order and pressing timing. The winning area “Rare Replay” is a winning area set in each of the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D, and is configured so that a rare replay can be won regardless of the batting order and pressing timing. ing. In addition, the winning area “rare replay” is set such that the winning probability is lower than any winning area of the winning areas including replays that can be won in each internal lottery table.

  The winning area “batting order replay 1” to the winning area “batting order replay 6” is a winning area set in the internal lottery table B that is selected when the gaming state is the RT1 state. The normal replay and the RT2 transition replay are performed. When the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed in the batting order set in each of the winning area “batting order replay 1” to the winning area “batting order replay 6”, the RT2 transition replay is performed. Is won, and when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in the other hitting order, the normal replay is won.

  In addition, the winning area “batting order replay 1” to the winning area “batting order replay 6” are configured such that the winning modes for winning a duplicate are different. Specifically, in the winning area “batting order replay 1”, the normal replay and the RT2 transition replay are won, and the winning area “batting order replay 2” is the normal replay, the RT2 transition replay, and other replays. Special Replay 1 with a different symbol combination indicating the winning pattern (hereinafter also referred to as “winning symbol combination”) is won repeatedly, and the winning area “batting order replay 3” is for normal replay, RT2 transition replay, and other replays. And special replay 2 with different winning symbol combinations, and the winning area “batting order replay 4” includes normal replay, RT2 transition replay, and special replay 3 with different winning symbol combinations from other replays, Is a winning combination, and the winning area “batting order replay 5” has different winning symbol combinations for normal replay, RT2 transition replay, and other replays. The special replay 4 is won in duplicate, and the winning area “batting order replay 6” is configured so that the normal replay, the RT2 transition replay, and the special replay 5 having a different winning symbol combination from other replays are won. Has been. It should be noted that the reel control means 130, which will be described later, has the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 in any hit order and pressing timing when the winning area including the special replay 1 to the special replay 5 is won by the internal lottery means 120. Even when pressed, the reel stop control is executed so that the winning symbol combinations of special replay 1 to special replay 5 are not displayed.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the winning probability of the winning area “RBB2” and the winning area “normal replay 2” is changed according to the setting value stored in the setting value storage unit 801. The winning area “bat order bell 1” to the winning area “bat order bell 6”, the winning area “common bell role”, the winning area “rare role”, the winning area “removal role”, and the winning area “ The batting order replay 1 to the winning area “batting order replay 6”, the winning area “normal replay 1”, the winning area “rare replay”, the winning area “RBB1”, and the winning area “CBB” are set value storage means. Regardless of the setting value stored in 801, the winning probability is not changed.

  In the random number determination process, based on the start signal output from the start switch 230, a random number (lottery random number) generated by the random number generation unit 110 for each game is acquired, and the acquired random number is selected in the lottery table selection process. Compared with the lottery table, it is determined whether or not the winning combination is won based on the comparison result.

  In the lottery flag setting process, the lottery flag corresponding to the winning combination determined to be won based on the result of the random number determination process is changed from the non-established state (first flag state, OFF state) to the established state (second flag state). , ON state). In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when two or more types of winning combinations are won, a lottery flag corresponding to each of the two or more types of winning winning combinations is set to the established state. The lottery flag setting information is stored in the lottery flag storage unit 803 of the main storage unit 800.

  Here, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, a lottery flag (carry-over possible flag) that can carry over the established state to the next game until winning, and a winning state are carried over to the next game regardless of the winning. A lottery flag (a carry-over impossible flag) that is reset to a non-established state is prepared. The combinations associated with the former carry-over possible flag include RBB1, RBB2, and CBB, and the small combination and replay are associated with the latter carry-over impossible flag. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, when a winning area including any of RBB1, RBB2 or CBB is won in the internal lottery, RBB1, RBB2 or CBB wins the established state of the selected RBB1, RBB2 or CBB lottery flag. Process to carry forward to.

  In the present embodiment, the symbols of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are configured such that each symbol constituting the CBB winning symbol combination can be awarded regardless of the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3. It is arranged on the circumference. For this reason, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment can execute only the carry-over process of RBB1 or RBB2 for the carry-over process for carrying over the lottery flag to the game after the won game. Moreover, when the CBB is operating, the internal lottery means 120 of the present embodiment sets all the lottery lottery flags in the established state regardless of the result of the internal lottery.

  The internal lottery means 120 performs an internal lottery that determines whether or not a small role and replay are true even in a game in which the RBB1 or RBB2 lottery flag has been established. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, when a small role or replay is won in a game in which the RBB1 or RBB2 lottery flag has been established, the lottery flag of the RBB1 or RBB2 already won and the internal lottery The lottery flags corresponding to two or more types of combinations including the small combination won and the replay lottery flag are set to the established state.

  The reel control means 130 is driven by the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 by the stepping motor based on the output of the start signal from the start switch 230 that operates when the player performs a start operation on the start lever SL. The rotation drive of is started. In addition, the reel control means 130, when the rotation state of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is a rotation state in which the rotation is a steady rotation at a predetermined speed (for example, about 80 rpm), the stop button B1 corresponding to each reel. Control for enabling the stop operation detected by the stop switch 240 when the stop button B3 is pressed is executed. The reel control means 130 stops supplying the drive pulse (motor drive signal) to the stepping motor of the reel unit 310 when the reel stop signal is output from the stop switch 240 based on the detection of the stop operation. Then, control is performed to stop each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. At this time, the reel control unit 130 performs control to stop the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 that are rotationally driven by the stepping motor in a manner corresponding to the lottery flag setting state, that is, the result of the internal lottery. That is, the reel control means 130 determines the stop position of the reel corresponding to the pressed stop button among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 each time each of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is pressed. Thus, control is performed to stop the reel at the determined stop position.

  Further, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are rotating corresponding to the pressed stop button within 190 ms from the time when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed. The reel is stopped. Here, when the rotating reel is stopped within 190 ms from the time when the stop button is pressed, the reel is stopped from the time when the stop button is pressed based on the diameter and rotation speed of each reel. Up to 4 frames can be rotated up to this point. The reel control means 130 displays the symbol corresponding to the winning combination in the internal lottery on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button that has been pressed among the stop buttons B1 to B3. The symbol corresponding to the combination for which the lottery flag is set to the winning state is valid when the position is within the range of 0 frame to 4 frames with respect to the display position on the active line L1 at the time when the operation is pressed. Control is performed to stop the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button on which the pressing operation has been performed so that the reel is displayed at the display position on the line L1.

  For this reason, in the slot machine 1, the symbols constituting the winning symbol combinations of the winning combinations regardless of the pressing timing of the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 such as the bell, each replay, and CBB described above are the first reel R1. In each of the third reels R3, the reels are arranged in a displayable range from when the stop button is pressed until the reels stop. In particular, for the symbols that can be displayed on the third reel R3 among the winning symbol combinations of the bell, the timing of pressing the stop button B3 even when the CBB is activated when the maximum number of sliding symbols on the third reel R3 is one frame. It is arranged so that it can be displayed regardless.

  Here, the reel control means 130 receives the start signal output when the start switch 230 detects the start operation, starts the rotation of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, and starts one game. In this case, a waiting time (about 4.1 seconds) generally called a wait (or wait time) is set. Then, when the reel control means 130 receives a start signal from the start switch 230 within a period from the setting of the standby time until the standby time elapses, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 after the standby time has elapsed. Is configured to start rotation. With this configuration, the reel control means 130 can start a game after a minimum game time (about 4.1 seconds) has elapsed as a certain time from the start of one game to the start of the next game. .

  The reel control unit 130 refers to a logic calculation process for obtaining a stop position of the rotating reel by logic calculation, and a stop control table stored in the stop control table storage unit 804 of the main storage unit 800, and the reel control unit 130 rotates. Table reference processing for determining the stop position of the table.

  First, in the logic calculation processing, 0 to 4 frames from the pressing detection position, which is the position of the reel at the time when the stop switch 240 is activated, that is, when the pressing operation of the stop button is detected according to the priority order data determined for each combination. Priorities are obtained for the stop position candidates for five frames existing in the range. Here, the reel control means 130 is a reel index which is information indicating that the reel output once has been rotated when the photo sensor provided in the reel unit 310 detects the reel position detection unit provided in each reel. And the rotation state of the reel at the time when the reel stop signal is received from the stop switch 240 using the rotation angle from the reel reference position at which the reel index is detected (calculated from the number of times of supply of the drive pulse supplied to the stepping motor). To get. Then, the stop position candidate with the highest priority among the priorities of the respective stop position candidates is determined as the actual stop position. However, in the logic calculation process, the same priority may be obtained for a plurality of stop position candidates depending on the result of the internal lottery, the pressed detection position, and the like. When there are a plurality of stop position candidates with the highest priority, the actual stop position is determined by table reference processing.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the gaming state is the non-RT state to the RT2 state, the bonus establishment state or the first bonus state, the priority order is determined in the order of “replay> small role> bonus”. In the slot machine 1, when the CBB is in the second bonus state, the priority order is determined in the order of “small role> replay> bonus”. In other words, the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when performing the reel stop control when the CBB is operating, plays a small role in preference to the replay and bonus when the winning combination overlaps with the small role and the replay or bonus. The symbols constituting the winning winning symbol combination are stopped on the active line L1.

  In the logic calculation process, when the lottery flags relating to two or more types of winning combinations are set to the winning state, the stop position including the symbols constituting the winning form of the winning combination having the higher priority according to the priority order associated with each winning combination. The priorities of the candidates are determined so that the priorities of the candidates are higher than the candidates of the stop positions including the symbols constituting the winning form of the role having a low priority.

  Note that, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when a plurality of types of small roles are won in the internal lottery, the method of obtaining the priority of the stop position candidates depends on the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the active line L1. There are a method for obtaining the priority and a method for obtaining the priority according to the number of medals to be paid out based on a payout predetermined for the small role. In the case of obtaining the priority of the stop position candidates in accordance with the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line L1, the symbol combination indicating the winning pattern that can be displayed on the effective line L1 (hereinafter, “winning symbol combination”). The priority of each stop position candidate is determined so that the priority becomes higher as the stop position increases in number. In addition, when the priority of the stop position candidates is obtained according to the number of medals paid out, the number of medals paid out based on the payout of the small role corresponding to the symbol displayed at the display position on the active line L1 is large. The priority of each stop position candidate is determined so that the higher the priority is, the higher the stop position becomes, that is, the stop position where a small combination with a large payout can be won. However, when determining the priority of stop position candidates according to the number of paid-out medals, if a small role with the same payout is won in duplicate, each of the small positions can be won. Candidate priorities are treated as the same.

  In the logic calculation process, so-called pull-in process and kick-out process are performed as processes for obtaining reel stop position candidates. Here, the pull-in process is a process of obtaining reel stop position candidates so that the winning combination whose lottery flag is set to the winning state can be won as much as possible. On the other hand, the kicking process is a process of obtaining reel stop position candidates so that a combination whose lottery flag is set to a non-winning state cannot be won. In this way, the reel control means 130 can stop the symbol of the combination for which the lottery flag is set to the winning state in a winning form, while the symbol of the combination for which the lottery flag is set to the non-winning state Logic calculation processing is performed to obtain a candidate stop position of the reel so that it does not stop.

  Here, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the CBB is won and the CBB is activated, the reel control unit 130 presses the stop button B3 for the third reel R3 among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. The reel stop control is executed so as to stop the rotating third reel R3 within 75 ms from the point of time. When stopping a rotating reel within 75 ms from the time when the stop button is pressed, the stop position of each rotating reel depends on the diameter and rotation speed of each reel until the reel stops from the time when the stop button is pressed. It can be rotated up to one frame.

  In the reel stop control during the CBB operation, the reel control unit 130 selects at least one predetermined reel among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 within 75 ms from when the stop button is pressed. In this embodiment, the third reel is controlled within 75 ms from the time when the reel stop signal output from the stop switch 240 is detected by pressing the stop button B3. The reel stop control is executed so as to stop R3, but the stop switch 240 detects that the stop button corresponding to another reel such as the first reel R1 or the second reel R2 has been pressed, and the reel stop signal Stops the reel within 75 ms from when the stop switch 240 is output In other words, the reel stop control may be executed, and the number of reels set to stop the reel within 75 ms from the time when the reel stop signal is output from the stop switch 240 is one. There may be more than one.

  The winning determination means 140 performs a winning determination process for determining whether or not a winning combination has been won based on the stop mode of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. Specifically, referring to the winning determination table stored in the winning determination table storage unit 805 of the main storage unit 800, when all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped, they are on the active line L1. It is determined whether or not the displayed symbol combination is a predetermined winning combination. In addition, the winning determination table is configured so that the presence / absence of a winning combination, replay, or bonus can be determined (hereinafter referred to as “winning determination”) based on the symbol combination displayed on the active line L1 in a state where each reel is stopped. It is prepared.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, each process is executed based on the determination result of the winning determination unit 140 in the winning determination process. As each process executed based on the winning combination determination result, for example, when a small combination wins, a process for determining the number of medals to be paid out to the payout control means 150 is performed, and when a replay wins. In the next game, the replay processing means 160 performs a process to be executed without consuming medals, and when the bonus is won, the game state transition control means 170 is activated to operate the bonus.

  The winning determination means 140 determines the number of medals to be paid out in the game on the basis of a predetermined payout for each combination when the small combination is won, and the determined number of payments is sent to the outside of the slot machine 1. The determined medal payout number is set in the payout information storage means 806 as an external output payout counter which is a counter for storing the medal payout number for output to an external device 700 such as a hall computer provided. In addition, when the replay is won, the winning determination unit 140 sets the same number of values as the specified number of insertions in the game where the replay is won in the payout information storage unit 806.

  In the present embodiment, the payout for the small combination is set to be different in the number of payouts for the case of the first specified input number and the case of the second specified input number. When the specified number of inputs is set to the first specified number of inputs, the bell payout is set to nine, which is larger than the first specified input number, and the rare role payout is 3 which is the same as the first specified input number. The payouts for the special small combination 1 to special small combination 6 and the missed combination are set to one, which is smaller than the first specified number of throws. In addition, when the specified number of insertions is set to the second specified number of insertions, the bell payout is set to 14 sheets, which is larger than the second specified number of inputs, and the rare role payout is the same as the second specified input number. The payouts for special small combination 1 to special small combination 6 and missed combination are set to one smaller than the second specified number of throws.

  The payout control means 150 executes payout control, which is control related to payout of medals, and executes payout processing, which is processing for paying out medals according to game results. Specifically, the payout control means 150 performs payout control for paying out medals corresponding to the number of payouts to the hopper unit 320 as a payout apparatus based on the result of the winning determination process by the winning determination means 140.

  The hopper unit 320 performs an operation of paying out medals of the payout number instructed by the payout control means 150. The hopper unit 320 is provided with a payout medal detection switch 325 that operates every time a medal is paid out. The payout control means 150 is configured to manage the number of medals actually paid out from the hopper unit 320 based on an input signal from the payout medal detection switch 325. In the case where medal credits are permitted, instead of actually paying out medals by the hopper unit 320, the number of credits stored in the credit storage area (not shown) of the main storage unit 800 (not shown) is used. The number of medals) is added to the payout number to virtually pay out medals.

  The replay processing unit 160 determines that the symbol combination indicating the replay winning of any of the plurality of types of replay roles is stopped and displayed on the active line L1 by the winning determination unit 140, and when the replay wins, A replay process (re-game process) is set to a ready state in which a game can be executed without requiring medal insertion. That is, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when a replay is won, an automatic insertion process is performed in which medals for a predetermined number of insertions are automatically inserted without using a player's own medals (including credit medals). In the state where the same effective line L1 as the previous game is set, the next start operation for the start lever SL is waited.

  The gaming state transition control means 170 makes a transition between the non-RT state and the RT2 state, changes the winning state of the replay, and the RBB1 or RBB2 is won by the internal lottery means 120. In the case where the winning symbol combination of RBB1, RBB2 or CBB is displayed on the active line L1 by the bonus establishment state transition control process for shifting from the current gaming state to the bonus establishment state and the reel stop control by the reel control means 130. In addition, the game state transition control is performed with a bonus operation control process for activating the bonus displayed on the active line L1 and shifting the gaming state to the first bonus state or the second bonus state.

  FIG. 5 is a state transition diagram showing gaming states that can be shifted from each gaming state in the gaming state transition control executed by the gaming state transition control means 170. In the following description, the non-RT state to the RT2 state are collectively referred to as “non-bonus state”. In the following description, the first bonus state and the second bonus state are collectively referred to as “bonus state”.

  First, details of the RT state transition control process will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, the non-RT state is a gaming state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of gaming states, and a transition from the non-RT state to the RT1 state is possible. Specifically, in the non-RT state, any one of the winning area “batting order bell 1” to winning area “batting order bell 6” is won, and the stop button B1 to stop button B3 is pressed, and the reel control means 130 performs the reel operation. When the symbol combination different from the winning symbol combination of any of the small combination, replay, and bonus is displayed on the active line L1 by the stop control, the state shifts to the RT1 state. Further, in the non-RT state, an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table A in which the winning probability of replay is set to about 1 / 7.3, for example.

  The RT1 state is a gaming state corresponding to a normal state that can be shifted from the non-RT state and the RT2 state, and a transition from the RT1 state to the RT2 state is possible. Specifically, in the RT1 state, the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed in the order in which the winning area “batting order replay 1” to the winning area “batting order replay 6” is won and the RT2 transition replay can be won. When the winning symbol combination of the RT2 transition replay is displayed on the active line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130, the transition is made to the RT2 state. In the RT1 state, an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table B in which the winning probability of replay is set to about 1 / 7.3, for example.

  The RT2 state is a gaming state that transitions when the winning symbol combination of RT2 transition replay is displayed on the active line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130 in the RT1 state. A transition from the RT2 state to the RT1 state is possible. Specifically, any one of the winning area “batting order bell 1” to the winning area “batting order bell 6” is won, and the stop button B1 to stop button B3 is pressed, and the reel control means 130 performs small operation by the reel stop control. When a symbol combination different from the winning symbol combination of any combination of the combination, replay and bonus is displayed on the active line L1, the state shifts to the RT1 state. In the RT2 state, by referring to the internal lottery table C in which the probability of winning either a small role, replay or bonus is set by setting the replay winning probability to about 1 / 1.5, for example. An internal lottery will be held.

  In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the gaming state is changed between the non-RT state and the RT2 state, thereby realizing different gaming properties in each gaming state. Specifically, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the winning probability of replay is about 1/7. As long as the bell is continuously won at the time of winning from the winning area “batting order bell 1” to the winning area “batting order bell 6”. A non-RT state maintained with a low probability of 3, an RT1 state in which a normal game is executed, and a very high probability of being a small role, replay or bonus in each game by winning a replay with a high probability In the RT2 state that can be won in, different gameplay is realized.

  Also, in the RT2 state where the probability of winning a replay is set to a high probability of about 1 / 1.5, the probability of winning the winning area “Normal Replay 1” and the probability of winning the winning area “Normal Replay 2” Both are high, and an advantageous period is started by an advantageous period control means 400A, which will be described later, and an assist time state (hereinafter, the assist time is also referred to as “AT”) in which a winning assist control for assisting the winning of a specific combination is executed. When started, a so-called assist replay time game (hereinafter referred to as “ART replay time”) is executed in an RT2 state in which a game in the AT state is won with a higher probability of replay than other game states. It can be executed.

  Next, the bonus establishment state transition control process among the game state transition control processes executed by the gaming state transition control means 170 will be described. The gaming state transition control means 170 executes a bonus establishment state transition control process for transitioning the gaming state from the current gaming state to the bonus establishment state when a winning area including RBB1 or RBB2 is won by internal lottery. Specifically, the game state transition control means 170, for example, when a winning state including RBB1 or RBB2 such as a winning area “RBB1” or a winning area “RBB2” is won in an internal lottery in a non-RT state. Is shifted from the non-RT state to the bonus establishment state. In addition, in the slot machine 1, when a winning area including RBB1 or RBB2 is won and the winning RBB1 or RBB2 is not won, a bonus is established in a subsequent game until the winning RBB1 or RBB2 wins. The game is executed. In the bonus establishment state, an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table D in which the replay winning probability is set to about 1 / 7.3, for example.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the bonus establishment state, the internal lottery table has a lower replay winning probability than the RT2 state in which the probability of winning either a small role, replay or bonus is set to be extremely high in the internal lottery. The internal lottery is executed using the. As described above, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when a winning area including RBB1 or RBB2 is won in the internal lottery, the lottery flag is carried over in the established state until the winning RBB1 or RBB2 wins. For this reason, in the slot machine 1, when winning a small combination or replay in the internal lottery in a bonus establishment state, the small combination and bonus or replay and bonus are overlapped. Further, as described above, in the slot machine 1, the priority order is determined in the order of “replay> small role> bonus”. Also, in the slot machine 1, the special small roles 1 to 6 that are won when the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed at an appropriate timing, and the special small roles 1 to special that are won in the winning of the missing role are selected. When the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed down at the pressing timing at which the small combination 6 and the winning combination cannot be won, the winning combination is such that none of the winning combinations is won (non-winning).

  For this reason, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment is configured such that the winning probability of replay in the bonus establishment state is set to be lower than the winning probability of replay in the RT2 state, so that the internal lottery can be lost (unfair). By doing so, it is configured so that a state where a bonus is won independently can occur. Thus, in the slot machine 1, when the bonus is established and the internal lottery is lost (unauthorized), it is possible to win RBB1 or RBB2 in which the lottery flag is kept in the established state. .

  Next, the bonus state transition control process among the game state transition control processes executed by the gaming state transition control means 170 will be described. The gaming state transition control means 170 activates RBB1 or RBB2 as bonus state transition control processing when the winning symbol combination of RBB1 or RBB2 is displayed on the active line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130. Processing for shifting the gaming state from the bonus establishment state to the first bonus state is executed. When transitioning to the first bonus state, the gaming state transition control means 170 starts a process of adding a value to a bonus end determination counter (not shown) that is a counter of the main storage means 800. The transition from the first bonus state to the non-RT state is possible. Specifically, in the first bonus state, more than 270 medals are paid out, and the value stored in the bonus end determination counter is a value corresponding to a predetermined number of payouts (in this embodiment, When the value "270") is reached, RBB1 or RBB2 is terminated and the gaming state is shifted to the non-RT state. In the first bonus state, the winning area “JAC” is set as the winning area for the small role, and an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table E set to win the winning area “JAC” with a very high probability. .

  Further, the game state transition control means 170 operates the CBB and plays the game state as a bonus state transition control process when the CBB winning symbol combination is displayed on the active line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130. Is executed to shift from the gaming state to the second bonus state in the game won by CBB. When transitioning to the second bonus state, the gaming state transition control means 170 starts a process of adding a value to the bonus end determination counter. From the second bonus state, it is possible to shift to the gaming state in the game won by CBB. Specifically, when the second bonus state is started by winning the CBB when the gaming state is the non-RT state and winning the CBB, the payout of more than 28 medals is executed and the bonus ends. When the value stored in the determination counter reaches a value corresponding to a predetermined predetermined number of payouts (in this embodiment, the value “28”), the game where the CBB is ended and the gaming state is won by the CBB Transition to a non-RT state, which is a state.

  The advantageous period control means 400A includes an advantageous period (advantageous section) in which the winning assist control for assisting the winning of the specific combination can be executed, and a non-advantageous period (non-advantageous period) in which the winning assist control is not executed. Control related to the transition between and is executed. The advantageous period control unit 400A of the present embodiment uses the set value stored in the set value storage unit 801 as a control related to the transition between the advantageous period and the non-advantage period. Even if the bonus is not activated, it won't change when the bonus is inactive, and it won the winning area that can be won in any gaming state from non-RT state to RT2 state, that is, the winning area with no setting difference In this case, an advantageous period transition lottery is executed, which is a lottery for determining whether to end the non-advantage period and start the advantageous period. Note that the advantageous period control means 400A is configured not to execute the advantageous period shift lottery even when the winning state has no setting difference when the gaming state is a bonus establishment state.

  In the advantageous period shift lottery, the advantageous period control unit 400A first associates “start of advantageous period” and “losing (unauthorized)” with each of a plurality of random numbers from the advantageous period control data storage unit 807. The advantageous period shift lottery table, which is the data table being stored, is acquired. Then, the advantageous period control unit 400A acquires a random number from the random number generation unit 110, compares the acquired random number with the advantageous period shift lottery table, and determines whether to start the advantageous period based on the comparison result. The advantageous period control data storage unit 807 also stores various flags that are set to the ON state or the OFF state by predetermined control processing executed by the period control unit 400A within the advantageous period.

  When the condition for ending the advantageous period is satisfied, the advantageous period control unit 400A executes an end process that is a process of ending the advantageous period and starting the non-advantage period from the next game. Further, the advantageous period control unit 400A turns on the advantageous period notification unit 500A when the advantageous period starts, and turns off the advantageous period notification unit 500A when the non-advantage period starts.

  In the present embodiment, the winning area that triggers the period control means 400A to execute the advantageous period shift lottery by winning the internal lottery is the winning area “batting order bell 1” to the winning area “batting order bell 6”, and the winning area. "Common bell role", winning area "rare role", winning area "removal role", winning area "normal replay 1", winning area "rare replay", winning area "RBB1", winning area " CBB ".

  The instruction function state control unit 400B indicates an instruction function state among a plurality of instruction function states including an AT state in which a winning assist control can be executed when the advantageous period is started by the advantageous period control unit 400A. The control related to the instruction function including the control related to the shift (assist time control) is performed. In the present embodiment, the instruction function state control unit 400B wins the internal lottery unit 120 as a control for increasing the probability that a specific combination wins when the instruction function state is a state in which a winning assist control can be executed. Depending on the winning area, different winning commands are created, and the created winning command is transmitted to the main control display device 500 to notify which winning area the winning area won in the internal lottery is. The notification display, which is a function (instruction function) for instructing the person to operate the stop button B1 to the stop button B3, is configured to be able to execute a winning assist control that is a control executed on the main control display device 500. Yes. Here, winning areas subject to winning assist control include winning area “batting order bell 1” to winning area “batting order bell 6” and winning area “batting order replay 1” to winning area “batting order replay 6”. It is. Also, the role (specific role) that increases the probability of winning by winning assist control is the winning bell of winning area “batting order bell 1” to winning area “batting order bell 6”, winning area “batting order replay 1” to winning area “ RT2 transition replay at the time of winning “batting order replay 6”.

  Further, when the AT state is being executed by the instruction function state control unit 400B, the effect control unit 180 is based on the winning command transmitted from the internal lottery unit 120, and a winning assist effect that is an effect of assisting the winning of the specific role Execute. For example, when the winning command indicating that the winning area “batting order bell 1” has been won in the internal lottery is transmitted from the internal lottery means 120, the rendering control unit 180 determines the correct batting order that can win the bell. The winning assistance effect informed by is executed.

  Next, the details of the advantageous period in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing details of the non-advantage period and the advantageous period controlled by the advantageous period control unit 400A of the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 6, the non-advantage period is a period in which the winning assist control by the instruction function state control unit 400B is not executed. When the advantageous period control means 400A determines “start of advantageous period” in the advantageous period transition lottery when the winning area other than the winning area “RBB1” and the winning area “CBB” is won, that is, the advantageous period Winning in the transfer lottery, winning in the advantageous period transfer lottery triggered by winning in the winning area “RBB1”, and winning the RBB in the game won in the winning area “RBB1”, and the winning area “ When the game is won in the advantageous period transition lottery triggered by winning CBB, and the CBB wins in the game won in the winning area “CBB”, the non-advantage period ends in this game and the next game The advantageous period starts from. The advantageous period control means 400A wins in the advantageous period shift lottery triggered by winning the winning area “RBB1”, and if the RBB is not won in the game won in the winning area “RBB1”, this time In the game, the non-advantage period ends and the standby period starts from the next game.

  The standby period is a period during which all processing related to the instruction function by the advantageous period control unit 400A is prohibited. When the standby period is started, the advantageous period control unit 400A continues the standby period until RBB1 wins. When RBB1 wins, the advantageous period control means 400A ends the standby period for the game that RBB1 has won and starts the advantageous period from the next game. Start.

  The advantageous period is a period during which the process related to the instruction function state by the instruction function state control unit 400B can be executed. When the advantageous period is started, the advantageous period control unit 400A sets a value (for example, 1500 games) corresponding to a predetermined number of games in the advantageous period end determination counter 808 of the main memory unit 800 from the game that has started the advantageous period. When every time one game is executed, the value “1” corresponding to one game is subtracted (updated) from the stored value of the advantageous period end determination counter 808, and a game of 1500 games is executed. That is, when the value stored in the advantageous period end determination counter 808 reaches the value “0”, it is determined that the specific ending condition is satisfied as a condition for ending the advantageous period, and the advantageous period is terminated and the next game is not advantageous. Execute end processing to start the period. Further, the advantageous period control means 400A determines whether or not at least one winning assistance control is executed or the RBB1, RBB2, or CBB is activated during the advantageous period, and whether the advantageous period ends. When the end lottery is determined to be “end of advantageous period”, it is determined that the normal ending condition is satisfied as a condition for ending the advantageous period, and the termination process ends the advantageous period and starts the non-advantage period from the next game. Execute. At the time of execution of the termination process, the advantageous period control unit 400A initializes all the information used in the various control processes in the advantageous period, such as each flag set in the advantageous period and the value set in the advantageous period.

  The advantageous period control means 400A subtracts the value “1” from the stored value of the advantageous period end determination counter every time a game is executed even when RBB1, RBB2 or CBB wins during the advantageous period. . Further, the instruction function state control unit 400B is a winning area in which the winning probability varies depending on the setting value stored in the setting value storage unit 801 when the gaming state becomes a bonus establishment state during the advantageous period. In the case where RBB2 which is a bonus included in “RBB2” is operating, the control related to the instruction function based on the winning area won by the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120 excluding the winning assist control is not executed.

A plurality of arithmetic processes, which are processes for calculating the above, and a control for transmitting the result of the arithmetic process to the ratio display device 610 and displaying the result on the ratio display device 610 are executed.

  First, arithmetic processing related to operation recording executed by the operation recording control unit 600 will be described. The operation record control means 600 of the present embodiment, as an operation record, is a first type special combination for an advantageous period stay ratio that is a ratio of the total number of games in the advantageous period to the total number of games and the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine. The ratio of the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine during the operation of the game, and the ratio of the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine during the operation of the game to the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine. An operation record calculation process composed of a plurality of calculation processes for calculating an accessory ratio is executed.

  In the present embodiment, the operation record control unit 600 calculates a value in the game 6000 times and a value in the total number of games for the continuous character ratio and the character ratio. Here, the bonus is a special device for facilitating winning a prize, and the bonus is a type 1 special bonus (regular bonus (RB)), type 2 special bonus (challenge bonus (CB). )), A normal character (single bonus (SB)) and the like. That is, the consecutive character ratio is a ratio of the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine during operation of the RB to the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine, and the character ratio is the RB with respect to the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine. , The ratio of the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine during the operation of CB or SB.

  First, a method for calculating the advantageous period stay ratio will be described. In the present embodiment, the number of games and the number of games in the advantageous period are tabulated as data for calculating the advantageous period stay ratio. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the main storage unit 800 stores a total game number counter 880 (an example of the total game number storage unit) for storing the total number of games and an advantage for storing the total number of games in the advantageous period. A period game number counter 890 (an example of an advantageous period game number storage unit) is provided, and these counters are configured by storage areas of 3 bytes each preset in the RWM of the main control unit 10.

  Then, each time a game is played, the operation record control unit 600 performs an incremental update in which a fixed value (for example, “1”) corresponding to one game is added to the stored value of the total game number counter 880. Do. In the present embodiment, when the stored value of the total game number counter 880 is less than or equal to the upper limit value and the total game number counter 880 can be incrementally updated, the game state transition control means 170 controls when the game is performed. The total game number counter 880 is incremented regardless of the gaming state to be played and the period controlled by the advantageous period control means 400A. On the other hand, the advantageous period game number counter 890 corresponds to one game in the stored value of the advantageous period game number counter 890 every time a game is played only in the advantageous period. Incremental updating is performed by adding a constant value “1”. Note that the update of the advantageous period game number counter 890 is started from the next game of the game won in the advantageous period transition lottery during the non-advantageous period. However, in the case of winning the advantageous period transition lottery based on the winning of RBB1 or CBB, the game is started from the next game of the game in which the bonus is won (game in which the transition process to the advantageous period is performed). As described above, the operation record control unit 600 of the present embodiment updates the total number of games stored in the total game number counter 880 every time a game is played, and one game is performed in the advantageous period. Every time it is played, an update process is performed to update the total number of games in the advantageous period stored in the advantageous period game number counter 890.

  Then, the operation record control means 600 is based on the total number of games (A1) stored in the total game number counter 880 and the total number of games (A2) in the advantageous period stored in the advantageous period game number counter 890. , The calculation of “(A2 × 100) / A1” is performed to calculate the advantageous period stay ratio (%), and the calculated advantageous period stay ratio is overwritten in a predetermined storage area of the ratio storage means 870 and stored. Let In addition, the operation record control means 600 of this embodiment calculates an advantageous period stay ratio for each game, and specifically updates the total number of games every time a game is played and if it is an advantageous period. After performing the update process for updating the total number of games in the advantageous period, the advantageous period stay ratio is calculated.

  Next, a method for calculating the continuous character ratio and the character ratio will be described. In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, RBB (RBB1, RBB2) and CBB are provided as bonuses. In the RBB, the RB is continuously operated regardless of the display of the winning symbol combination of the RB, and in the CBB, the CB is continuously operated regardless of the display of the winning symbol combination of the CB. Yes. Then, the operation record control means 600 of the present embodiment uses the number of medals paid out by the slot machine 1 as the data for calculating the continuous character ratio and the character ratio, and the first type special character data. The number of consecutive feature payouts, which is the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine during operation, and the number of feature payouts, which is the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine during operation of the game, are totaled.

  Specifically, when the operation record control means 600 is in the first bonus state that shifts in accordance with the winning of the RBB, the RB that is the first type special combination is operating in all games. From the first bonus state, the number of payouts in the first bonus state is totaled as the number of consecutive feature payouts and the number of feature payouts, and in the second bonus state that shifts with the CBB winning, Therefore, the number of payouts in the second bonus state is added up only as the number of paid-out items. In other words, the operation record control unit 600 of the present embodiment totals the number of payouts in the first bonus state as the number of consecutive feature payouts, and totals the number of payouts in the first bonus state or the second bonus state as the number of bonuses paid out. . Further, the operation record control means 600 of the present embodiment is a data obtained by dividing the game 6000 times into 15 as data for calculating the continuous character ratio and the character ratio in the game 6000 times (an example of a predetermined counting period). While counting the number of payouts of the above three types of medals in 400 games (an example of a predetermined reference count period) that is the number of games for a set, the above three types of 15 sets for 15 sets with 400 games as one set The number of medals paid out is counted individually for each set.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the main storage unit 800 of the present embodiment stores a total of 400 times of games for each of the number of payouts, the number of consecutive feature payouts, and the number of payouts of the games.

The main storage unit 800 includes a 15-set cumulative storage unit 850 (an example of a predetermined total period cumulative storage unit) that stores a total of 15 sets for each of the number of payouts, the number of consecutive feature payouts, and the number of payouts of items. A total cumulative storage unit 860 that stores the total cumulative total for each of the number, the consecutive feature payout number, and the bonus payout number.

  Further, the 400-times cumulative storage means 820 stores a 400-times cumulative first counter 821 that stores the total of the number of payouts in 400 games, and a 400-times cumulative second counter 822 that stores the total of the number of consecutive feature payouts in 400 games. And a 400-times cumulative third counter 823 that stores the cumulative total of the number of items paid out in 400 games. These counters are configured by storage areas of 2 bytes each set in advance in the RWM of the main control unit 10.

  The operation record control means 600 has a value corresponding to the number of medals that the slot machine 1 pays out to the stored value of the first counter 821 accumulated 400 times (for example, when a replay is won when one game is played) A process of adding a value “1”) corresponding to the number of medals paid out for one sheet is performed. It should be noted that the operation record control unit 600 of the present embodiment, when executing the process of adding the stored value of the first accumulated counter 821 400 times, the gaming state and advantageous period control unit controlled by the gaming state transition control unit 170 Regardless of the period controlled by 400A, a process of adding the stored value of the first counter 821 accumulated 400 times is performed. Further, the operation record control means 600 corresponds to the number of medals that the slot machine 1 pays out to the stored value of the second counter 822 accumulated 400 times when medals are paid out only when the gaming state is the first bonus state. A process of adding a value (for example, a value “1” corresponding to the number of medals paid out for one sheet) is performed. Further, the operation record control means 600 pays out the slot machine 1 to the stored value of the third counter 823 when the medal is paid out only when the gaming state is the first bonus state or the second bonus state. A process of adding a value corresponding to the number of medals (for example, a value “1” corresponding to the number of medals paid out for one sheet) is performed.

  The operation record control unit 600 transfers the data stored in the 400-time cumulative storage unit 820 to the 15-set individual storage unit 830 and updates the data stored in the 15-set total storage unit 850 every time 400 games are played. 15 set cumulative update process is executed, and after executing the transfer process and the 15 set cumulative update process, the cumulative storage means 820 is initialized 400 times. The operation record control unit 600 is a counter of the main storage unit 800 in order to perform transfer processing, 15-set cumulative update processing, and initialization of the 400-th cumulative storage unit 820 every time 400 games are performed. Whether or not a medal has been paid out in the stored value of the game 400 times counter 809 (see FIG. 2), which is a counter for determining whether or not data for 400 games has been recorded in the 400 times cumulative storage means 820 Regardless of this, every time a game is played, an incremental update is performed in which a constant value (for example, “1”) corresponding to one game is added. The operation record control means 600 determines that 400 games of data have been recorded in the initialized 400 times cumulative storage means 820 when the stored value of the game 400 times counter 809 reaches the value “400”. After executing the transfer process and the 15-set cumulative update process, the 400-times cumulative storage means 820 and the game 400-times counter 809 are initialized.

  The operation record control means 600 executes a set identification value update process for adding and updating the value “1” to the set identification value of the set identification counter 840 every time 400 games are played. When the set identification value update process is executed in a state where the set identification value is “15”, the operation record control unit 600 is configured to return the set identification value to the value “1”. The set identification counter 840 stores a value “15”, which is an initial value, in an initial state in which operation record aggregation by the operation record control unit 600 is started.

  Accordingly, the 15-set individual first storage unit 831, the 15-set individual second storage unit 832, and the 15-set individual second storage unit 833 are respectively the storage area 831 a, the storage area 832 a, and the storage area 833 a that are the top storage areas. When data is sequentially stored and data is stored up to the storage area 831o, the storage area 832o, and the storage area 833o as the last storage area, the storage area for storing data next is set as the first storage area, It is configured as a ring buffer that sequentially stores data in 15 sets of storage areas.

  The 400-times cumulative storage means 820 and the 15-set individual storage means 830 store a value “0”, which is an initial value, in the initial state where the operation record totalization by the operation record control means 600 is started. The operation record control unit 600 sequentially overwrites data in the first to fifteenth sets in each storage area of the 15-set individual storage unit 830 in which the value “0” is stored until 6000 games are played. To remember. When the operation record control unit 600 stores the data of the 16th set in a state where the data of the 1st to 15th sets are stored in the 15th set individual storage unit 830, the data stored in the oldest order is stored. The data of the 16th set, which is the latest data, is overwritten and stored in the storage area in which the first set of data is stored.

  Further, the 15-set cumulative storage means 850 includes a 15-set cumulative first counter 851 for storing the total of the total number of payouts in 15 sets of 400 games, that is, the total number of payouts in 6000 games, 15 sets total second counter 852 that stores the total of the total number of consecutive feature payouts in 400 games, that is, the total of the number of consecutive feature payouts in 6000 games, and the function payout in 15 sets of 400 games. A 15-set cumulative third counter 853 that stores a total value of the numbers, that is, a cumulative total of the number of paid-out items in 6000 games. The total cumulative storage means 860 stores a total cumulative first counter 861 for storing the total cumulative number of payouts, a total cumulative second counter 862 for storing the total cumulative payout numbers, and a total cumulative amount of the payouts of the features. A total cumulative third counter 863 is provided. Each of 15-set cumulative first counter 851 to 15-set cumulative third counter 853 and total-cumulative first counter 861 to total-cumulative third counter 863 has a storage area of 3 bytes set in advance in the RWM of the main control unit 10. It is comprised by.

  The operation record control means 600 is a game related to each of the payout number, the consecutive feature payout number, and the bonus payout number stored in the 400-time cumulative storage means 820 in the transfer process executed every 400 games. 15 sets of individual storage means 830 (15 sets of individual first storage means 831) are stored at 400 times (stored values of 400 times of accumulated first counter 821, 400 times of accumulated second counter 822 and 400 times of accumulated third counter 823). , 15 set individual second storage means 832 and 15 set individual third storage means 833).

  Then, after 400 games have passed since the operation record control means 600 has passed 6000 times, the operation record control means 600 in the 400 games related to the number of payouts with the oldest order stored in the 15-set individual first storage means 831. In the storage area where the oldest payout number, which is cumulative data, is stored, the cumulative data of 400 games relating to the payout number stored in the 400th cumulative first counter 821 is overwritten and stored, and 15 sets individually The 400th cumulative second counter is stored in the storage area in which the oldest consecutive feature payout number, which is data accumulated in 400 games related to the oldest consecutive feature payout number stored in the second storage means 832, is stored. The total accumulated data for 400 games related to the number of consecutive feature payouts stored in 822 is overwritten and stored, and 15 sets of individual third memories are stored. In the storage area in which the oldest bonus payout number, which is the cumulative data in 400 games related to the oldest prize payout number in the order stored in the row 833, is stored in the 400th cumulative third counter 823. The accumulated data for 400 games related to the number of paid-out items is overwritten and stored.

  In addition, the operation record control means 600 performs 15 sets cumulative, that is, a game for each of the number of payouts, the number of consecutive feature payouts and the number of payouts in the 15-set cumulative update process executed every 400 games. The cumulative total of the number of payouts, the number of consecutive feature payouts, and the number of payouts of the items at 6000 times is updated.

  By the way, if the operation record control unit 600 calculates the sum of the payout numbers for 15 sets stored in the 15 set individual first storage unit 831 after the operation record control unit 600 executes the transfer process, the operation record control unit 600 It is necessary to perform the addition process 15 times after the stored value of the set cumulative first counter 851 is initialized to the value “0”. The operation record control unit 600 includes the total of the 15 consecutive set payout numbers stored in the 15-set individual second storage unit 832 and the 15-set unit stored in the 15-set individual third storage unit 833. Also when calculating the total of the number of paid-out items, the stored values of the 15-set cumulative second counter 852 and the 15-set cumulative third counter 853 are initialized to the value “0”, respectively, and then added 15 times. It is necessary to perform processing.

  For this reason, when the operation record control unit 600 updates the 15-set cumulative first counter 851 to the 15-set cumulative third counter 853 after executing the transfer process, the operation record control unit 600 performs a total of 45 addition processes.

<Game control processing>
FIG. 13A is a flowchart showing a control process executed by each means constituting the main control unit 10 in the game in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment.

  First, the main control unit 10 executes an initialization process (S1). In this process, the main control unit 10 determines whether the backup data is normal or the setting change is appropriately reflected when the power of the slot machine 1 is turned on, and the main storage means. Various flag data and counter values stored in 800 are initialized (cleared). Note that the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment generates backup data at any time while the power is on and stores it in the backup storage means (not shown) of the main storage means 800, causing an unexpected power interruption. Even in such a case, it is possible to return to the state before the occurrence of the power interruption by executing the initialization process.

  Next, the main control unit 10 executes game start control in order to start control processing related to one game (S2). In this process, the main control unit 10 executes initialization (clearing) of the RWM that requires initialization at the time of turning off the game information display unit DS or starting each game.

  Next, the insertion accepting unit 105 in the main control unit 10 executes the insertion acceptance control (S3). In this process, the insertion accepting unit 105 determines that the player presses the single bet button BT when the player inserts a predetermined number of medals into the medal insertion slot MI and when the medal is credited more than the predetermined number of insertions. When the pressing operation is performed the same number of times as the specified number of insertions or when the max bet button MB is pressed, the process of activating the effective line L1 and activating the start operation of the start lever SL is executed. In addition, when the replay is won in the previous game and the replay processing by the replay processing means 160 is executed and set to the ready state, the insertion accepting means 105 does not use the player's hand medal (including credit medal). In addition, an automatic insertion process for automatically inserting the same number of medals in the game won by the replay is executed, and the start operation of the start lever SL is performed with the same effective line L1 as the game won by the replay being set. Activate.

  Next, the internal lottery means 120 in the main control unit 10 executes internal lottery control (S4). In this process, the internal lottery means 120 acquires a random number value from the random number generation means 110 when the start lever SL is started and a start signal is detected from the start switch 230, and is stored in the internal lottery table storage means. An internal lottery process for determining a winning area using any one of the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table E is executed. Further, the internal lottery means 120 executes symbol setting for setting information related to symbols to be stopped and displayed on the effective line L1 when the reel control means 130 executes the reel stop control.

  Further, in this process, the advantageous period control means 400A is configured to be able to execute the advantageous period shift lottery based on the selected winning area when it is a non-favorable period, and when it is an advantageous period, A control process related to the AT is configured to be executable.

  Next, the reel control means 130 in the main control unit 10 executes reel rotation control (S5). In this process, the reel control means 130 executes a reel rotation process for starting the rotation of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. Then, the reel control means 130 activates the stop operation detected by the stop switch 240 when the rotation speed of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 increases to a predetermined speed and becomes a steady rotation. Perform the validation process.

  Next, the reel control means 130 in the main control unit 10 executes reel stop control (S6). In this process, the reel control means 130 stops the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 corresponding to the pressed stop buttons B1 to B3 when a valid stop signal is output from the stop switch 240. To do. When the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped, the reel control means 130 performs a predetermined operation after the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed based on the winning area won by the internal lottery means 120. The first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped within 190 ms as the stop time.

  Next, the winning determination means 140 in the main control unit 10 executes winning determination control (S7). In this process, the winning determination means 140 is a predetermined winning symbol combination based on the symbol combination displayed on the active line L1 when all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped. It is determined whether or not it corresponds. Then, the winning determination unit 140 causes the payout control unit 150, the replay processing unit 160, and the gaming state transition control unit 170 to execute processing corresponding to the winning combination.

  Next, the payout control means 150 in the main control unit 10 executes payout control (S8). In this process, the payout control means 150 credits a medal with the number of payouts corresponding to the winning small combination when the winning determination means 140 determines that the small role has won. Further, when the credit exceeds an upper limit value (for example, 50), the payout control means 150 pays out medals for the amount exceeding the upper limit value of the credit from the hopper unit 320 to the medal payout exit MO. put out.

  Next, the replay processing means 160 in the main control unit 10 executes replay control (S9). In this process, the replay processing means 160 executes the replay process and enters a ready state when the winning determination means 140 determines that the replay has been won. If the winning determination means 140 determines that the replay has not been won, the main control unit 10 skips the process of step S9 and moves the process to step S10.

  Next, the game state transition control means 170 in the main control unit 10 executes the game state transition control (S10), and returns the process to step S2. In this process, the gaming state transition control means 170 is arranged on the effective line L1 when the symbol combination displayed on the effective line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130 is a symbol combination related to the gaming state transition. The gaming state is shifted to the gaming state corresponding to the symbol combination displayed on the screen. Specifically, the gaming state transition control means 170 transitions the gaming state to the RT2 state when the winning symbol combination of RT2 transition replay is displayed on the active line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130.

  In addition, when the RBB1 or RBB2 is won, the gaming state transition control means 170 executes a process for shifting the gaming state to the bonus arrangement state, and activates the winning bonus when RBB1, RBB2, or CBB wins. And a process related to the termination of the activated bonus. For example, when the winning symbol combination of RBB1 is displayed on the active line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control unit 130, the gaming state transition control unit 170 operates the RBB1 to shift the gaming state to the first bonus state. Execute the process.

  In addition, when the winning area including RBB1 or RBB2 is not won in the internal lottery, or the symbol combination different from the symbol combination related to the transition of the gaming state or the bonus winning symbol combination by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130 is effective. If it is displayed on the line L1 and the bonus is not in operation, the main control unit 10 skips the process of step S10 and moves the process to step S2.

  As described above, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, one game is executed by executing the processing of Step S2 to Step S10.

<Discharge control>
FIG. 13B is a flowchart showing the payout control executed by the payout control means 150 in step S8 of the game control process shown in FIG.

  In the payout control by the payout control means 150, the payout control means 150 first determines whether or not a small role or replay is won in the current game (S21). In this process, the payout control means 150 receives a winning combination of small bonuses or a replay by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130 in the winning determination control by the winning determination means 140 (see step S7 in FIG. 13A). It is determined whether or not it is determined that the symbol combination is displayed on the active line L1.

  In the process of step S21, when it is determined that the winning combination or replay has been won (YES), the payout control means 150 is determined in advance as the winning winning combination if the winning combination is a winning combination. The number of medals to be paid out in this game is determined based on the current dividend, and if the winning combination is a replay, the number of medals to be paid out is determined based on the prescribed number in the current game. The number of payouts is set in the payout information storage means 806 (S22). In this process, for example, if the payout control means 150 determines that the bell has won in the game this time, the payout information storage means 806 determines nine payout medals based on the bell payout and stores nine in the payout information storage means 806. A value “9” corresponding to a medal is set. In addition, the payout control means 150 determines that the replay has won in the current game, and if the specified number of throws in the current game is 3, the number of payouts in the current game is the same as the number of automatic throws. The value is determined to be three, and a value “3” corresponding to three medals is set in the payout information storage unit 806.

  The payout information storage unit 806 that stores information related to the payout of medals determined based on the game result constitutes the payout information storage unit in the present embodiment. Further, the value set in the payout information storage unit 806 at the time of winning a small combination or replay constitutes payout information that is information relating to the payout of medals in the present embodiment.

  If it is determined that the small role has not won in the current game after the process of step S22 or in the process of step S21 (NO), the payout control unit 150 records the operation record in the operation record control unit 600. Arithmetic processing is executed (S23). In this process, the payout control means 150 first prohibits execution of interrupt processing by the main control unit 10. Next, the payout control means 150 exchanges the front register and the back register of the internal register, that is, sets the register that was the front register as the back register and sets the register that was the back register as the front register, thereby The data used in is saved from the front register to the back register. Then, the payout control unit 150 calls the operation record control unit 600 described in another area of the ROM and causes the operation record control unit 600 to execute operation record calculation processing.

  As described above, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when a small role or replay is not won, that is, when a bonus winning symbol combination such as RBB1, RBB2, and CBB is stopped and displayed on the active line L1, When a symbol combination different from any of the winning symbol combinations of a plurality of types is stopped and displayed on the active line L1, etc., when a medal payout does not occur, the stored value of the payout information storage means 151 becomes an initial value. The value “0” is configured to be maintained. The operation record calculation process in step S23 constitutes the operation record calculation in the present embodiment.

  After the operation record calculation process by the operation record control unit 600 is completed, the payout control unit 150 executes a payout process (S24) and ends the payout control. In this process, the payout control means 150 credits medals for the number of payouts determined to be paid out in the current game when a small combination wins. The payout control means 150 pays out medals from the hopper unit 320 to the medal payout exit MO when the credit exceeds the upper limit value (for example, 50 cards). put out.

<Operation record calculation processing>
Next, operation record calculation processing executed by the operation record control unit 600 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 and 15. FIG. 14 shows the operation record by the operation record control unit 600 being called by the payout control unit 150 which is a module in the use area in the processing of the payout control step 150 by the payout control unit 150 shown in FIG. In the operation record calculation process which is a subroutine executed by the control means 600, the control process related to the calculation of the numerical value indicating the consecutive character ratio at 6000 games and the numerical value indicating the character ratio at 6000 games is shown. FIG. FIG. 15 shows the storage of the 15-set individual first storage means 831, the set identification counter 840, the 400-time cumulative first counter 821, and the 15-set cumulative first counter 851 that are updated by the operation record calculation processing in the 6400th game. It is a figure which shows a value.

  In the operation record control means 600 of this embodiment, the effective stop button B1 to stop button B3 are pressed after the start lever SL is started, and the symbol combination is placed on the effective line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130. Is displayed, and the winning determination means 140 determines the presence / absence of a winning combination, so that an advantageous period displayed on the ratio display device 610 at the time of payout control after the result of one game is obtained. A numerical value indicating the stay ratio, a numerical value indicating the ratio of consecutive actors at 6000 games, a numerical value indicating the ratio of actors at 6000 games, a numerical value indicating the ratio of consecutive actors at the total number of games, and a role at the total number of games An operation record calculation process is performed to calculate a numerical value indicating an object ratio.

  In the flowchart shown in FIG. 14, only the calculation of the numerical value indicating the consecutive character ratio in the game 6000 and the numerical value indicating the character ratio in the game 6000 is described, and the stay ratio during the advantageous period is shown. A description of the calculation of the numerical value, the numerical value indicating the continuous character ratio in the total number of games, and the numerical value indicating the character ratio in the total number of games is omitted.

  In the operation record calculation process, first, the operation record control means 600 performs a payout number totaling process which is a process of totaling the number of payouts used for calculating the continuous character ratio value and the character ratio value. Execute (S31). In the process of step S31, the operation record control unit 600 adds the stored value of the payout information storage unit 806 to the stored value of the 400th cumulative first counter 821, except when the replay is won. In the process of step S31, the operation record control unit 600 adds the stored value of the payout information storage unit 806 to the stored value of the second counter 822 accumulated 400 times when the gaming state is the first bonus state. When the gaming state is the first bonus state or the second bonus state, the stored value of the payout information storage unit 806 is added to the stored value of the third counter 823 accumulated 400 times.

  After executing the process of step S31, the operation record control unit 600 determines whether 400 games have been executed (S32). In this process, the operation record control unit 600 determines whether or not the stored value of the 400-times game counter 809 is a value “400”, so that 400 games of 400 games from the time when the 400-time cumulative storage unit 820 is initialized. It is determined whether or not the game has been executed.

  If it is determined in the process of step S32 that 400 games have been executed (YES), 15 operation record control means 600 are stored in each of the 15 set individual first storage means 831 to 15 set individual third storage means 833. Among these storage areas, a set identification value update process for updating a set identification value which is a value for identifying a storage area to be updated in the current game and stored in the identification counter 840 is executed (S33). In the process of step S33, the operation record control unit 600 updates the set identification value by adding the value “1” to the set identification value. When the set identification value after addition is the value “16”, the operation record control unit 600 inputs the value “1” to the set identification counter 840.

  The operation record control unit 600 refers to the set identification value updated by the process of step S33 in the processes after step S33, so that each of the 15 set individual first storage units 831 to 15 set individual third storage units 833 is obtained. , It is possible to identify which storage area is the storage area to be updated in the current game among the 15 storage areas.

  Further, since the operation record control unit 600 executes the process of step S33 every time 400 games are executed and cyclically updates the set identification value in the range of the value “1” to the value “15”, 15 sets are set. In the individual storage unit 830, the storage area to be updated can be changed cyclically. Further, since the operation record control unit 600 cyclically changes the storage area to be updated, by executing the processing in step S33, the update order is the order from the oldest storage area among the 15 storage areas. Can be updated.

  After executing the process of step S33, the operation record control unit 600 performs steps S34 and S35 as a 15-set cumulative update process for updating the stored values of the 15-set cumulative first counter 851 to the 15-set cumulative third counter 853. Execute the process. In the 15-set cumulative update process, the operation record control unit 600 first subtracts the storage value of the storage area associated with the set identification value from the storage value of the 15-set cumulative first counter 851 to the 15-set cumulative third counter 853. The 15-set cumulative subtraction process is executed (S34). In the process of step S34, the operation record control unit 600 subtracts the storage value of the storage area associated with the set identification value among the storage areas 831a to 831o from the storage value of the 15-set cumulative first counter 851. , The storage value of the storage area associated with the set identification value among the storage areas 832a to 832o is subtracted from the storage value of the 15-set cumulative second counter 852, and the stored value of the 15-set cumulative third counter 853 is subtracted. Then, the storage value of the storage area associated with the set identification value among the storage areas 833a to 833o is subtracted.

  Thereby, the operation record control means 600 calculates the total of the number of payouts in the oldest 400 games out of the total number of payouts in the 15 sets of games 400 included in the stored value of the 15-set total first counter 851. , 15 sets can be removed from the stored value of the first counter 851. In substantially the same manner, by executing the process of step S34, the operation record control unit 600 accumulates the number of consecutive feature payouts in 400 games of 15 sets included in the stored value of the 15-set accumulated second counter 852. The cumulative number of consecutive feature payouts in the oldest 400 games can be removed from the 15-set cumulative second counter 852, and the 15 sets of games 400 included in the stored value of the 15-set cumulative third counter 853 The cumulative total of the number of bonuses paid out in the oldest 400 games out of the cumulative total of the number of bonuses paid out at the time can be removed from the stored value of the 15-set cumulative third counter 853.

  After executing the process of step S34, the operation record control unit 600 stores the first set of counters 851 to 853 and the third counter 853 of the 15 sets accumulated first counter 853 to the first accumulated counters 821 to 400 times accumulated third times. A 15-set cumulative addition process for adding the stored value of the counter 823 is executed (S35). In the process of step S 34, the operation record control unit 600 adds the stored value of the first counter 821 accumulated 400 times to the stored value of the first counter 851 for 15 sets, and 400 is added to the stored value of the second counter 852 for 15 sets. The stored value of the second cumulative total counter 822 is added, and the stored value of the third cumulative counter 823 is added to the stored value of the third counter set 853 for 15 sets.

  Thereby, the operation record control means 600 can add the total of the number of payouts in the last 400 games to the stored value of the 15-set cumulative first counter 851, and the stored value of the 15-set cumulative first counter 851 The total number of payouts in the last 6000 games can be updated. In substantially the same manner, by executing the process of step S35, the operation record control means 600 adds the cumulative number of consecutive feature payouts in the last 400 games to the stored value of the 15-set cumulative second counter 852, The stored value of the 15-set cumulative second counter 852 can be updated to the cumulative total of the number of consecutive winnings in the last 6000 games, and the stored value of the 15-set cumulative third counter 853 is added to the last 400 games. The accumulated value of the number of items paid out can be added, and the stored value of the 15-set accumulated third counter 853 can be updated to the accumulated number of items paid out in the last 6000 games.

  Further, by executing the 15-set cumulative update process in steps S34 and S35, the operation record control unit 600 performs only one subtraction process and one addition process on the stored value of the 15-set cumulative first counter 851. It can be updated at. The operation record control unit 600 can update the stored values of the 15-set cumulative second counter 852 and the 15-set cumulative third counter 853 by only one subtraction process and one addition process, respectively. It is possible to prevent the execution time of the 15-set cumulative update process from becoming long. As a result, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when a program described in another area is executed, the time from the start of execution to the end of execution becomes longer than the cycle in which the interrupt process is executed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent an error from occurring in the control related to the progress of the game and the control related to the performance, and it is possible to prevent the operation record calculation from affecting the progress of the game. .

  After executing the process of step S35, the operation record control unit 600 executes a transfer process of transferring the data of the 400-time cumulative storage unit 820 to the 15-set individual storage unit 830 (S36). In the process of step S36, the operation record control unit 600 stores the first counter 400 times in the storage area associated with the set identification value among the storage areas 831a to 831o of the 15-set individual first storage means 831. The stored value 821 is transferred and stored. In a similar manner, in the process of step S36, the operation record control unit 600 transfers the stored value of the second counter 822 accumulated 400 times to the storage area associated with the set identification value in the 15-set individual first storage unit 831. The stored value of the third counter 823 accumulated 400 times is transferred and stored in the storage area associated with the set identification value in the 15-set individual second storage means 832.

  Thereby, the operation record control unit 600 can update the storage area in the storage area 831a to 831o that has the oldest update order at the time before the process of S36. In substantially the same manner, by executing the processing of step S36, the operation record control unit 600 can update the storage area with the oldest update order among the storage areas 832a to 832o. Among the storage areas 833a to 833o, the storage area having the oldest update order can be updated.
