Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine that performs a game.

As a gaming machine, a predetermined number of bets are set, and a slot machine in which a plurality of types of identification information are variably displayed based on a start operation, and a gaming medium such as a gaming ball is played by a launching device. And a pachinko gaming machine in which a plurality of types of identification information are variably displayed when a game medium is won in a starting area such as a prize opening provided in the gaming area.

As such a gaming machine, the number of remaining AT games corresponding to a period controlled by an AT (assist time) that is advantageous to the player is displayed on the liquid crystal display, and for example, an effect switch by the player is operated. As a result, there is known a slot machine capable of increasing and updating the number of displayed AT remaining games (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP, 2014-121462, A

When the same condition is satisfied even if the idea of displaying a second numerical value different from the first numerical value in addition to the first numerical value as the AT remaining game number can be applied to the above-described gaming machine In addition, the time when the first numerical value and the second numerical value are updated is not considered, and the interest of the game cannot be improved.

The present invention has been conceived in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a gaming machine that updates the first numerical value and the second numerical value so as to improve the interest of the game.

(1) A gaming machine capable of playing a game (for example, slot machine 1, pachinko gaming machine),
Display means (for example, credit display) for displaying a first numerical value (for example, the credit number (main) shown in FIG. 3C) and a second numerical value (for example, the credit number (sub) shown in FIG. 3D) 11 and liquid crystal display 51),
Update control for increasing and updating the first numerical value and update for increasing and updating the second numerical value when a specific condition is satisfied (for example, when eight winning combinations are won as shown in FIG. 3A). Control can be started at different times (for example, as shown in FIG.
(Main) increment update is started at timing T2, while credit count (sub) increment update is started at timing T3 after timing T2) update means (for example, main control unit 41 and sub control unit 91) ).

According to such a configuration, since update control for increasing and updating the first numerical value and update control for increasing and updating the second numerical value are started at different timings, the player is notified that the numerical value is increasing. I can make a strong impression. As a result, the first is to improve the interest of the game.
The numerical value and the second numerical value can be updated.

(2) For the update control of the first numerical value, update control advantageous for the player (for example, incremental update shown in FIG. 4), update control disadvantageous for the player (for example, decreasing update shown in FIG. 7), Contains
The operation mode of the first numerical value update control when advantageous update control is performed is different from the operation mode of the first numerical value update control when disadvantageous update control is performed (for example, as shown in FIG. 4). This is an update in a mode in which numerical values are scrolled in the vertical direction, and an update in a mode in which numerical values are scrolled in the horizontal direction shown in FIG.

According to such a configuration, it can be easily understood whether an advantageous update or an unfavorable update is performed.

(3) In the gaming machine of (2),
The display means is configured to execute a multi-minute update control in which the first numerical value is updated a plurality of times.
When the multi-minute update control is advantageous update control, the progress of the multi-minute update control is displayed. On the other hand, when the multi-minute update control is disadvantageous update control, the multi-minute update control is not displayed. As shown in FIG. 11 (D), when the credit is increased and updated, the number corresponding to one medal is sequentially updated to display the number in the middle of the update.
As shown in FIG. 11C, when updating in the direction of decreasing medals, “498” which is the final update result is displayed without displaying “500” or the like in the middle of the update).

According to such a configuration, it is easy to understand whether an advantageous update or an unfavorable update is performed, and if an advantageous update is performed, the progress is displayed. It is possible to make a strong impression of an advantageous update.

(4) In the gaming machine described in (2) or (3),
When the value after the advantageous update is performed and the value after the unfavorable update is the same, the update mode of the numerical value when the advantageous update is performed and when the unfavorable update is performed The operation mode of the numerical value update is different (for example, as shown in the number of credits (main) A in FIG. 9, the display after the update is “8”, but “8” is displayed). The update mode of the numerical values up to is updated in a mode in which the number scrolls in the vertical direction before the update is “0”, and updated in a mode in which the number scrolls in the horizontal direction when it is “11” before the update. )

According to such a configuration, it is possible to make it easier to understand whether an advantageous update or an unfavorable update is performed.

(5) In the gaming machine according to any one of (2) to (4),
The operation mode of the numerical value when the advantageous update is performed is different from the operation mode of the numerical value update when the disadvantageous update is performed (for example, as shown in FIG. 9, the number of medals increases). When such an update is performed, the number scrolls in the vertical direction, and when an update is performed such that the number of medals decreases, the number scrolls in the horizontal direction).

According to such a configuration, when an advantageous update is performed and when a disadvantageous update is performed,
Since the numerical operation directions are different, the player can determine at a glance whether the update is advantageous or unfavorable.

(6) In the gaming machine according to any one of (2) to (5),
Sound output means for outputting sound (for example, speakers 53 and 54),
The sound output means outputs a sound when an advantageous update is performed, but does not output a sound when an unfavorable update is performed (for example, when an advantageous update that increases medals is performed, the sound is output from the speakers 53 and 54). Is output, but no sound is output when a disadvantageous update that reduces medals is performed).

According to such a configuration, it is possible to give a strong impression to the player of the advantageous update compared to the disadvantageous update.

(7) In the gaming machine according to any one of (2) to (6),
Sound output means for outputting sound (for example, speakers 53 and 54),
The sound output means increases the volume when the advantageous update is performed than when the advantageous update is performed (for example, as shown in the modification, even when the advantageous update that increases the medals is performed) The sound is output from the speakers 53 and 54 even when a disadvantageous update is performed such that the volume is reduced, but the volume when the update is such that the number of medals is increased is larger than that when the update is such that the medals are reduced.

According to such a configuration, it is possible to give a strong impression to the player of the advantageous update compared to the disadvantageous update.

(8) In the gaming machine according to any one of (2) to (7),
In the case where the numerical value is updated for a plurality of parts, the display means displays that the plurality of updates are updated one by one when the plurality of updates are advantageous updates, while the plurality of updates are disadvantageous updates. Sometimes, a plurality of updates are displayed to be updated at once (for example, as shown in FIG. 11, when the number of medals is increased by eight, one by one until the final update result is displayed) While the numbers to be updated are sequentially updated, when the number of medals is decreased by 3, the final update result is displayed in a lump).

According to such a configuration, when a disadvantageous update is performed, the numerical value after the update is displayed in a batch, whereas when the advantageous update is performed, the numerical value is displayed so as to be updated one by one. It can be easily understood that the advantageous update is being performed.

It is a front view of a slot machine. It is a figure for demonstrating various display parts. It is a figure for demonstrating the start timing of increase update control. It is a figure for demonstrating an increase update aspect. It is a figure for explaining a vertical scroll mode. It is a figure for demonstrating the start timing of decrease update control. It is a figure for demonstrating a reduction | decrease update aspect. It is a figure for demonstrating a horizontal scroll aspect. It is a figure for demonstrating the case where a credit increases. It is a figure for demonstrating the other combination of a 1st numerical value and a 2nd numerical value. It is a figure for demonstrating the update aspect of the numerical value in 2nd Embodiment. It is a figure for demonstrating the modification of the update aspect of the number of credits.

, And replaying LED 20 for informing that the replay game is in progress after winning the replay
Is provided.

As shown in FIG. 1B, inside the slot machine 1, a game control board 40 that controls the progress of the game and outputs various commands according to the progress of the game, and a predetermined effect according to the command. An effect control board 90 to be controlled is provided. The game control board 40
A main control unit 41 that performs processing related to the progress of the game and controls the configuration mounted on or connected to the game control board 40 is provided. The effect control board 90 includes a sub-control unit 91 that receives a command transmitted from the game control board 40 and performs an effect, and controls a configuration mounted on or connected to the effect control board 90.

The main control unit 41 is composed of a one-chip microcomputer, and includes a RAM 41c used as a work memory, and a main CPU 41a that performs control operations according to a program, and performs processing related to the progress of the game and a game control board. Each part of the control circuit mounted on 40 is controlled directly or indirectly. When the MAXBET switch 6, the start switch 7, the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, and the settlement switch 10 are operated, a detection signal for detecting the operation is input to the main control unit 41. The main control unit 41 detects operations on these various switches based on detection signals from these various switches.

From the main control unit 41, a control signal for lighting control or display control of various displays included in the game display unit 13 is output to the game display unit 13. Various displays included in the game display unit 13 are turned on or display predetermined information based on a control signal from the main control unit 41.

Similar to the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 is configured by a one-chip microcomputer, and includes a RAM 91c used as a work memory and a sub CPU 91a that performs a control operation according to a program.

Note that FIG. 1B is only a part, and other configurations are also provided in the slot machine 1.

When playing a game in the slot machine 1, first, a predetermined number of bets (three in this embodiment) are set by inserting medals into the medal insertion unit 4 or operating the MAXBET switch 6. As a result, the winning line LN becomes valid and the operation to the start switch 7 becomes valid, and the game can be started. If medals are inserted with the bet number set, the amount is increased to credits.

The winning line is a line for determining whether the combination of symbols displayed on the see-through window 3 of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R is a winning symbol combination. In the present embodiment, an example in which only one winning line LN is provided will be described. However, a plurality of winning lines may be provided. In addition, invalid lines LM1 to LM4 are provided to make it easy to recognize that the combination of symbols constituting the winning line is aligned with the winning line LN. Invalid line LM1 to LM
4 is not a line for which a winning determination is made, but when a combination of specific winning symbols (so-called disparity) is aligned on the winning line LN, a predetermined symbol combination is aligned on any of the invalid lines LM1 to LM4. Thus, it is easy to recognize that a combination of symbols composing a specific winning is arranged on the winning line LN.

When the start switch 7 is operated in a state where the number of bets capable of starting one game is set (in a state where the game can be started), the symbols are variably displayed as the reels 2L, 2C, 2R rotate, When the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated, the rotation of the corresponding reel is stopped. Then, three symbols are derived and displayed as display results in the upper, middle and lower stages of the fluoroscopic window 3. When a winning is generated by stopping the combination of winning symbols on the winning line LN, a predetermined number of medals are awarded to the player in accordance with the winning. At this time, when the credit is increased or the credit reaches the upper limit number (50), the medal is paid out from the medal payout exit 9.

In addition, the winning combination of the present embodiment includes a small combination with payout of game value (medal), a replay to give replay, and a special combination with a transition to a gaming state advantageous to the player (for example, bonus Etc.). Giving a re-game means that the next game can be played by automatically setting the bet number (automatic BET) without setting the bet number using game values (medals, credits, etc.). It is. In other words, granting a replay means BE
The next game can be started without performing the T operation.

In addition, in order for each winning to occur, the internal lottery is won and the winning flag of the combination is stored in the RAM.
41c must be set. For example, in order for Bell to win a prize, Bell needs to be elected. In addition, a target combination drawn by internal lottery is called a lottery target combination or winning combination. The winning combination consists of one or more winning combinations. The winning combination includes a rare combination. A rare role is a role with a lower winning probability than a role other than a rare role. The rare role is, for example, cherry or watermelon.

Further, the slot machine according to the present embodiment has a function of notifying information corresponding to the result of the internal lottery. The information is information that can specify an operation mode (also referred to as an operation procedure). The operation mode of this embodiment is the operation sequence (pressing order) of the stop switch. As a modification, the operation mode may be a concept including at least one of the operation sequence of the stop switch and the operation timing of the stop switch. Such an effect for notification is called a navigation effect. The period during which the navigation effect is performed is called assist time (AT). The AT is an example of a state that is advantageous to the player.

The AT of this embodiment is managed by the net increase in the number of medals. Net increase is, for example,
In the game in which a small role is won, the number obtained by subtracting “the number of medals required for executing the game (ie, three)” from “the medal payout number corresponding to the winning small role”. For example, when an eight-piece combination that pays out eight medals as a small combination wins, the net increase is five.

In the present embodiment, the AT ends when the net increase in the number of medals in the AT reaches the AT end number. The AT end number is determined by an AT lottery which will be described later. Also, during AT, A
As shown in FIG. 2B, the T end number is the AT remaining number (sub) D (for example, “
"100 remaining characters"). When the net increase in the AT reaches the number determined by the AT lottery, that is, when the AT remaining number becomes 0, the AT ends. In the present embodiment, when the display result derived during the AT is derived, A
The display of T remaining number (sub) D is updated to decrease.

In the present embodiment, a state in which the AT is controlled at RT having a high replay winning probability advantageous to the player is particularly referred to as assist replay time (hereinafter referred to as ART).
The net increase in the number of medals during AT starts from the next game after the game that can be controlled by ART. As a result, the AT ends when the net medal increase number reaches the AT end number in ART. Then, ART ends when AT ends.

Further, the main control unit 41 can be controlled to an AT different from an advantageous game state such as RT having a high winning probability of bonus or replay. The AT is a period in which a navigation effect that can specify an operation mode for stopping a combination of symbols advantageous to the player on the winning line LN is executed, and is an advantageous state for the player. For example, RT with high replay winning probability
"1" is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 as information that can specify "left, middle, right", which is the push order for winning the promoted replay as an opportunity to shift to the game auxiliary display 12, and the liquid crystal display In 51, an image that can specify that the stop switch 8 is operated in the order of "left, middle, right" is displayed. However, as the AT, an effect of teaching a design to be pressed or an effect of teaching the timing of pressing may be adopted. That is, the AT may perform a navigation effect that notifies the operation timing instead of notifying the operation order. In AT,
You may make it perform the navigation effect which alert | reports both an operation order and operation timing.

The main control unit 41 performs an AT lottery process to determine whether or not to control the AT when the first rare combination is won as the rare combination during the non-AT, and as the rare combination during the AT. 2. When a rare combination is won, an extra lottery process is performed to determine whether or not to add the remaining AT number. The AT lottery process and the extra lottery process may be executed at a predetermined timing in the progress of one game, and may be executed after the internal lottery is performed in the internal lottery process, for example. Note that at least one of the first rare combination and the second rare combination may be two or more. Also, the first rare combination and the second rare combination may be the same or different, and a part of the plurality of first rare combinations is included in the second rare combination. May be.

In the AT lottery process, it is determined whether or not to control to AT, and when it is determined to control to AT, a plurality of types of AT end number candidates (for example, 50, 100, 150, 20) are determined.
0, 250, 300), the AT end number is determined. The AT end number is determined by the main control unit 41.
Is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM.

The main control unit 41 sets the AT flag to control AT when the AT start timing comes when the AT is won without winning the bonus. On the other hand, the main control unit 41
When the AT is won together with the bonus winning, the AT flag is set when the bonus is won and the bonus is ended, and the AT is controlled from the next game after the bonus is ended. A
The timing for starting the next game after the game won for T may be used as the AT start timing. Also, whether the AT start timing is determined, and whether the AT has been won by the AT start timing after the game won for AT You may perform the effect which utters no.

The AT flag is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM of the main control unit 41, and is cleared when the AT remaining number reaches 0 (when the net increase number during AT reaches the AT end number).
Based on the AT flag, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the AT is in progress.

In the extra lottery process, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not to add the remaining AT number, and when it decides to add it, a plurality of types of AT remaining number candidates (20
, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300), an additional AT remaining number to be added to the remaining AT number is determined. The determined number of added games is increased to the AT remaining number stored in a predetermined area of the RAM of the main control unit 41. Thereby, the main control unit 41 adds the number of games to be controlled by the AT.

[Various display units]
FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining various display units. Numerical values are displayed on the various display units shown in FIG. 2, and the numerical values are updated based on the increase or decrease of the displayed numerical values. FIG. 2A shows an example of numerical values displayed by the control on the main side (main control unit 41). FIG. 2B shows an example of numerical values displayed under the control of the sub side (sub control unit 91).

As shown in FIG. 2A, the credit indicator 11 displays the number of credits. In the following, parentheses after the numerical values to be subjected to update control may indicate the subject that executes the update control. For example, the number of credits displayed on the credit indicator 11 is controlled to be updated by the main control unit 41, so the number of credits is referred to as a credit number (main) A. The credit display 11 is a 7-segment display and can display up to two digits. In the present embodiment, since the upper limit value that can be stored as credits by the slot machine 1 is 50, it is possible to display up to 2 digits, but it may be 3 digits or more. It may be a digit.

On the game auxiliary display 12, a payout number (main) B of medals is displayed. The game auxiliary display 12 is a 7-segment display and can display up to two digits. In addition, when the small combination wins, the game auxiliary display 12 displays a medal payout number corresponding to the small combination.

1BETLED14, 2BETLED15, 3BET under the control of the main control unit 41
The LED 16 notifies the set bet number. In the following, 1BETLED14, 2
The number that can be displayed by turning on the BETLED 15 and the 3BETLED 16 is referred to as a BET number (main) C.

Next, FIG. 2B will be described. FIG. 2B shows the sub-control unit 9 during AT.
1 shows an example of numerical values displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. During AT, FIG. 2 (b)
As shown in the figure, the remaining AT number (sub) D in the AT is displayed in the upper left area of the liquid crystal display 51. As described above, when the AT remaining number (sub) D reaches 0, the AT
Ends. Therefore, if the AT remaining number (sub) D is increased by being added, it is advantageous for the player. Further, during AT, the number (sub) E of medals earned during AT is displayed in the upper right area of the liquid crystal display 51. In the present embodiment, the number of acquired medals in AT (sub) E refers to the net increase in the number of medals in AT.

In the lower left area of the liquid crystal display 51, the number of credits is displayed. Hereinafter, this credit number is referred to as a credit number (sub) F. The number of credits displayed by the number of credits (sub) F is the same as the number of credits displayed by the number of credits (main) A.

In the area below the area where the number of credits is displayed, the set BET number (
Bet number) is displayed. Hereinafter, this credit number is referred to as a BET number (sub) G. This BE
The T number (sub) G and the BET number (main) C are the same.

Next, an increase update and a decrease update of these seven values A to G will be described. First,
Main processes executed by the main control unit 41 will be described. The main processes include a winning determination process, a payout process, and a game end process. The winning determination process is a process of determining whether or not a winning has occurred according to the display result derived for each reel when it is determined that the rotation of all reels has stopped. The payout process is executed after the winning determination process. The payout process is a process of paying out medals when a winning occurs in the winning determination process. If the credit is less than 50, the credit is increased and updated, and when the number of credits reaches 50, the medal is paid out from the medal payout exit 9. The game end process includes a process of turning off the lit BETLED (see FIG. 6E), a process of setting a gaming state in preparation for the next game, and the like.

Next, an increase update of the number of credits (main) A and the number of credits (sub) F will be described. The number of credits (main) A and the number of credits (sub) F are increased and updated by the number of medals paid out corresponding to the small combination, for example, when the small combination wins. Also, the credit number (main) A and the credit number (sub) F are increased and updated by the number of medals inserted when the player inserts medals from the medal insertion unit 4. In addition, the credit number (main) A and the credit number (sub) F are decreased and updated by the set bet number, for example, by executing a BET operation (in this embodiment, an operation to the MAXBET switch 6). Is done. In the present embodiment, three bets are set at a time by operating the MAXBET switch 6, so that the number is reduced and updated by three.

The payout number (main) B is increased and updated by the number of medal payouts corresponding to the small combination when the small combination wins. The payout number (main) B is off (not displayed) until the small role is won, and is turned off when, for example, an 8 winning combination that pays out 8 medals wins. “1” is displayed, and thereafter, “1” → “8” is incremented and updated. Further, in the present embodiment, the payout number (main) B is not reduced and updated. For example, when a small combination wins and “8” is displayed as the payout number (main) B, the payout number (main) B is turned off when the turn-off condition is satisfied. The extinguishing condition includes, for example, a condition that is satisfied when a BET operation (operation on the MAXBET switch 6) for starting the next game is executed. The extinguishing condition includes a condition that is satisfied when a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds) elapses without the BET operation being performed from when the payout number (main) B is displayed. As a modification, the payout number (main) B may be updated to decrease from “8” to “0” when the extinction condition is satisfied.

Next, an increase update and a decrease update of the BET number (main) C will be described. First, BE
The update of the T number (main) C will be described. In the present embodiment, when the BET condition is satisfied, three bets are set at a time. BET condition is MA with no bet number set.
This includes a condition that is satisfied when the XBET switch 6 is operated and a condition that is satisfied when the re-game player is derived. The lighting mode of the three BETLEDs of the present embodiment is a mode in which the three BETLEDs are turned on one by one. The lighting mode is, for example, 1BETLED
14 is turned on → 2 when a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds) has elapsed since the 1 BETLED 14 is turned on.
Turn on the BETLED 15 → When a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds) elapses from the turning on of the 2BETLED 15, lighting control (hereinafter referred to as a sequential lighting process) is executed in the order of turning on the 3BETLED16. This lighting control is an increase update of the BET number (main) C.

Next, a decrease update of the BET number (main) C will be described. In the present embodiment, during a game (a period from when three bets are set to execute the game to when a display result is derived), 1 BETLED 14, 2 BETLED 15, and 3 BETLE
D16 is a state in which all are lit. Thereafter, when the display result is derived by stopping all the reels, the three BETLEDs are turned off simultaneously regardless of whether or not a winning has occurred. As a result of the turn-off, the BET number (main) C is reduced and updated.

Next, an increase update of the BET number (sub) G will be described. In the present embodiment, “0” is displayed as the BET number (sub) G in a state where the bet number is not set. In this state, B
When the ET condition is satisfied, three bets are set at a time. At the same time, the sub-control unit 91 updates the displayed “0” to “3”.

Next, a decrease update of the BET number (sub) G will be described. In this embodiment, during the game (
“3” is displayed as the BET number (sub) G in the period from when the three bets are set to execute the game to when the display result is derived. In this state,
When the display result is derived by stopping all the reels, the sub-control unit 91 updates the displayed “3” to “0”, regardless of whether or not a winning has occurred.

Next, an increase update and a decrease update of the AT remaining number (sub) D will be described. For example, the AT remaining number (sub) D is increased and updated when the winning combination is made during AT and the specific condition is satisfied. The specific condition may be any condition, for example, an operation to the effect switch 56. In this case, the promotion effect that promotes the operation to the effect switch 56 is executed, and the player who has visually recognized the promotion effect operates the effect switch 56, whereby the specific condition is established. In addition, the specific condition may be a condition that is satisfied when a predetermined operation (for example, the third stop) is executed in the game that is won by winning or after the game.

In addition, the fact that the AT remaining number (sub) D is increased and updated is advantageous for the player because the AT period is substantially extended. For example, if it is determined that 20 extras are added to the remaining AT number (sub) D by the extra lottery, the special effect is established, and the extra effect of displaying “20 congratulations! Congratulations” is displayed. Is executed for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds). Thereafter, the AT remaining number (sub) D is increased and updated by 20. Further, the notification of the addition may be made by notifying the remaining number of ATs determined to be added at a time, or may be divided and notified.

Next, a decrease update of the AT remaining number (sub) D will be described. In the present embodiment, the pushing order is won during AT. During AT, in a game in which the push order is won, the corresponding operation order corresponding to the push order is notified. Further, in the game in which the push order small combination is won, when the operation is performed in the notified corresponding operation order, the leading role wins regardless of the operation timing. The main role of the present embodiment is “eight roles”. In addition, when operated in an operation order different from the corresponding operation order, when at least one stop switch is operated at a specific timing, a secondary role is won and the at least one stop switch is at a timing different from the specific timing. When operated, a non-winning display result that does not generate a winning is derived. Deputy role is
It may be the same as the number of payouts of the main character, or may be less than the number of payouts of the main character.

In the case of such a configuration, when the leading role (eight winning combinations) is derived during the AT, the AT remaining number (sub) D is reduced and updated by the net medal increased number based on the small winning combination. For example, when 8 winning combinations win, the number of bets is 3, so the net increase is 5. Therefore, for example, when 100 sheets are displayed as the AT remaining number (sub) D, and when the winning combination of 8 sheets is won, the AT remaining number (sub) D is reduced and updated to 95 sheets.

Further, when a secondary role is derived during AT, the remaining AT number (sub) D is subtracted by the same number as that when the primary role is derived (that is, 5) regardless of the number of payouts of the secondary role. Updated. Also, when the non-winning display result is derived during the AT, the AT remaining number (sub) D is subtracted and updated by the same number of sheets (that is, 5 sheets) as when the leading role is derived. Explaining the reason for adopting such a configuration, the expected value of the AT remaining number that can be elected on the AT during the AT is larger than the expected value of the AT remaining number that can be elected in the first AT winning elected during the non-AT Many configurations may be adopted. In such a case, for example, if the AT remaining number is not subtracted and updated when the non-winning display result is derived, the player deliberately causes the non-winning display result to be derived (that is, notification). It is possible to prolong the AT by manipulating the operation procedure differently from the operation procedure currently being performed. Then, during the AT, A
Since the expected value of the winning of adding the remaining number of T is high, an unfair profit can be enjoyed.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, whether the secondary role is derived during AT or whether the non-winning display result is derived, the net additional number (5) of the main role and the AT remaining number (sub) D are subtracted and updated. .
Thereby, it can prevent that a player can enjoy an unfair profit.

Next, a decrease update of the acquired number (sub) E will be described. When a display result different from the replay is derived, M for starting the next game of the game from which the display result is derived
When an operation to the AXBET switch 6 is executed, and then a lever-on operation for starting the next game is executed, the number of bets obtained for three games in this embodiment (three in this embodiment) (Sub) E is updated to decrease. For example, when 100 is displayed as the acquired number (sub) E, when the operation to the MAXBET switch 6 is executed, 1
The number is updated from 00 to 97. Next, the update of the acquired number (sub) E will be described. For example, when a display result for winning a small combination is derived, the acquired number (sub) E is increased and updated by the number of medals paid out corresponding to the winning small combination. For example, the number of acquisitions (
When 97 pieces are displayed as (sub) E, and 8 winning combinations win, the obtained number (sub) E is updated to 105 pieces. Thus, the acquired number (sub) E is 1
As a result of a decrease update and an increase update in the game, the number of net increase is updated.

[Update start timing when the value is increased]
FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the update start timing when the numerical value is increased. In FIG. 3, the numbers are the number of credits (main) A, the number of acquired (sub) E, the number of credits (
Sub) F. In the present embodiment, the update of these three numerical values is started when a predetermined update opportunity (specific condition) is established. In the example of FIG. 3, the update opportunity is a small role (FIG. 3).
In this example, it is assumed that it is established by winning a winning combination of 8 sheets). In addition, it is also said that the winning combination of 8 sheets means that the winning combination of 8 sheets is won.

As shown in FIG. 3A, when eight winning combinations are derived at timing T1, a winning determination process is executed. When the winning determination process ends at the timing T2, the main control unit 41 transmits a payout start command to the sub-control unit 91 as shown in FIG. The payout start command is a command that allows the sub-control unit 91 to specify that the payout process has started. At timing T3 when the sub control unit 91 receives the payout start command, the sub control unit 91 specifies that the payout process has been started. Thereafter, the game end process is executed at timing T4 when the payout process ends.

As shown in FIG. 3C, the main control unit 41 starts increasing the credit number (main) A at the timing T2. In this case, the number of credits (main) A is 8 cards,
Increased update. Since the increase update of the credit number (main) A is executed in synchronization with the payout process, the increase update of the credit number (main) A ends at timing T4.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 3D and 3E, the sub-control unit 91 at timing T3.
Thus, an increase update of the credit number (sub) F and an increase update of the acquired number (sub) E are executed. The number of credits (sub) F and the number of acquired sheets (sub) E are increased and updated by eight. Further, in this embodiment, the period for increasing and updating the number of credits (main) A, the period for increasing and updating the number of credits (sub) F, and the period for increasing and updating the number of credits (sub) F are all the same. Suppose there is. In addition, the number of credits (sub) F is updated and the number of obtained (sub) E
The timing at which the incremental update ends is T5. Also, from timing T2 to timing T
The period from 3 to 3 is the same as the period from timing T4 to timing T5.

As shown in FIG. 3, when an update opportunity is established (for example, when a winning combination of 8 cards is derived), an increase update of the credit number (main) A is started at timing T2, and the credit number (sub ) F update and acquisition number (sub) E are started at timing T3.

FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining how these three numerical values are updated. First, FIG. 4 (A)
Is used to explain how the number of credits (main) A is updated. In the number of credits (main) A, “0” is displayed first and finally “8” is displayed. 0 to 8 are updated one by one, such as 0 to 1, 1 to 2, 2 to 3, and so on. In addition, the number is updated in an operation mode (vertical scroll mode) in which the number before update scrolls downward and the next number scrolls from top to bottom. Specifically, 0
When the display is switched from 1 to 1, after the display as shown in (0 → 1) in the figure from the display of “0”, the display is switched to “1”. The display shown in (0 → 1) is 1 on the credit indicator 11.
The upper half of “0” constituting the upper half of “0” is displayed in the lower half of the digit, and the lower part of 1 constituting the lower half of “1” is displayed in the upper half of the first digit of the credit indicator 11. .

Similarly, when the display is switched from 1 to 2, the display from “1” is switched to the display “2” after the display as indicated by (1 → 2) in the figure. In the display shown in (1 → 2), the upper part of 1 constituting the upper half of “1” is the credit indicator 1 in the lower half of the first digit of the credit indicator 11.
The lower part of 2 constituting the lower half of “2” is displayed in the upper half of the first digit of 1.

In this manner, the numerical values are updated one by one in a vertical scrolling manner in which the numbers slide from top to bottom until “8” is displayed. In this embodiment, the display is updated in such a manner that the next number is connected to the previous number, but the display is updated in such a way that a gap is provided between the numbers. May be.

Next, an update mode of the acquired number (sub) E (the net increase after being controlled by the AT) will be described with reference to FIGS. In the number of obtained (sub) E, first "GET490"
Sheet "is displayed, and finally" GET 498 sheets "is displayed. Like the number of credits (main) A, the numbers are updated one by one, and the numbers are updated vertically as shown in FIG. 5 (see arrow α). This is done in the scroll mode. In addition, arrow (alpha) of FIG. 5 is for demonstrating the scroll aspect of a vertical direction, and is not actually displayed.

Next, an update mode of the credit number (sub) F will be described with reference to FIG. In the number of credits (sub) F, “0” is displayed first, and “8” is finally displayed. Like the number of credits (main) A, the numbers are updated one by one, and the numbers are updated in a vertical scrolling manner in which the numbers slide from top to bottom. The vertical scroll mode is the same as that in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 4, the update period of “1” for each of the three numerical values is the same. Therefore, each of the three numbers is also updated for the same number (“8” in the example of FIG. 4). Explaining with reference to FIG. 3, the period of timing T2 to T4, which is the period for increasing update control of the number of credits (main), and the timing T3, which is the period for increasing update control of the number of credits (sub) and the number of acquired (sub) The period of ~ T5 is the same.

When the increase update control is executed, a sound corresponding to the increase update control is output from the speaker 53.
, 54. For example, when eight winning combinations are won, a winning sound (for example, durun) corresponding to the winning of eight winning combinations is output, and a payout sound (dung) is output every time one medal is paid out. . This payout sound is output eight times.

[Update start timing when the value is decreased]
FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the update start timing when the numerical value is decreased. In FIG. 6, the numbers are BET number (main) C, BET number (sub) G, and remaining number (sub) D.
And Further, in the present embodiment, the update of these three numerical values is started when a predetermined update opportunity is established. In the example of FIG. 6, the update trigger is a trigger that is established when eight winning combinations are derived, as in FIG. 3. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a case where the number of remaining AT games is not added.

First, the start timing of the decrease update control of these three numerical values will be described. FIG.
As shown in (), when the winning combination is derived at timing T1, a winning determination process is executed. When the winning determination process ends at the timing T2, as shown in FIG.
Transmits a payout start command to the sub-control unit 91. At timing T3 when the sub control unit 91 receives the payout start command, the sub control unit 91 specifies that the payout process has been started. Thereafter, the game end process is executed at timing T4 when the payout process ends.

As shown in FIG. 6C and FIG. 6D, the sub-control unit 91 performs B at timing T3.
A decrease update of the ET number (sub) G and the remaining number (sub) D is started. BET number (sub) G
Will be reduced and updated by 3 sheets. Further, the remaining number (sub) D is updated to be reduced by 5 sheets (net increase number). Further, since the payout process is a process of paying out 8 medals, the decrease update of the BET number (sub) G and the remaining number (sub) D ends before the payout process ends.

Also, as shown in FIG. 6E, at timing T4 (as the first process in the game end process), the main control unit 41 turns off the BETLED. The timing at which the BETLED extinguishing process ends is T5.

Next, the decreasing update mode of these three numerical values will be described with reference to FIG. First, the reduction update of the BET number (main) C will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7A shows a BETLED in which a circle with hatching is turned on and a BETLED in which a circle without hatching is turned off. In the present embodiment, in a state where the three BETLEDs are turned on, the three BETLEDs are turned off simultaneously. By the turn-off control, the BET number (main) C is decreased and updated.

Next, a decrease update of the BET number (sub) G will be described with reference to FIGS. 7B and 8. In this embodiment, during a game (a period from when three bets are set to execute the game until when a display result is derived), the number of BETs (sub) G is three. Is displayed. Then, regardless of whether or not a winning has occurred, when all the reels are stopped, the BET number (sub) G initially displayed as “3” is finally displayed as “0”.

3 to 0 are updated one by one, such as 3 to 2, 2 to 1, and so on. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the numbers are updated in an operation mode (a horizontal scroll mode as indicated by an arrow α) in which the numbers slide from right to left. Specifically, when the display is switched from 3 to 2, from the display of “3”, 3 is scrolled to the left, and the left half of “2” is displayed at the right end. After that, “2” is displayed. From the display of “2”, 2 is scrolled to the left, and the display is switched to the display in which the left half of “1” is displayed at the right end, and then “1” is displayed. In this manner, the numerical values are updated one by one in an operation mode in which the numbers slide from right to left until “0” is displayed. Note that FIG.
The arrow α is for explaining the vertical scroll mode and is not actually displayed.

Next, a decrease update of the BET number (sub) G will be described with reference to FIG. In the example of FIG. 6, “100” is displayed first, and “95” is finally displayed. In addition, FIG.
As shown in (C), with regard to the decrease update of the AT remaining number (sub) D, the decrease update is executed in the horizontal scroll mode described with reference to FIG. The horizontal scroll mode is shown in FIG.
It is the same mode.

FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining a case where credit (main) A is updated and updated. FIG. 9A shows a case where the credit (main) A is updated from 0 to 8 cards. The increase update mode of credit (main) A shown in FIG.
This is the same as the incremental update mode of credit (main) A shown in FIG.

FIG. 9B shows a case where the credit (main) B is updated to be reduced from 11 to 3 cards. The credit (main) B reduction update is executed, for example, when a BET operation is executed. As described with reference to FIG. 6, the reduced update mode is the horizontal scroll mode. Therefore, the reduced update in the horizontal scroll mode is also executed in FIG. 9B.

[Combination of the first numerical value and the second numerical value]
In FIG. 3, two numerical values with different update timings due to one update opportunity (derivation of 8 winning combinations) are referred to as “first numerical value” and “second numerical value”. In the example of FIG. 3, the first numerical value is the credit number (main) A, and the second numerical value is the acquired number (sub) E and the credit number (sub) F.

Next, other first numerical values and second numerical values in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 10, reference signs P to R are associated with an update opportunity, a first numerical value, a second numerical value, and “updating start timing of the first numerical value and the second numerical value”, respectively. FIG. 10 also includes the contents described above.

For example, in the example indicated by the reference symbol P, the first numerical value is the BET number (main) C, and the second number
The numerical value is the BET number (sub) G. An update opportunity for updating the first numerical value and the second numerical value is that the BET condition described above is satisfied. The BET condition includes a condition that is established when the MAXBET switch 6 is operated in a state where the bet number is not set, and a condition that is organized by deriving a re-game player. For example, when the BET condition is satisfied, the main control unit 41 starts a BET process. The BET process is a process for setting the number of bets. The main control unit 41 starts updating the BET process to increase and update the BET number (main) C, which is the first numerical value (executes the BETLED sequential lighting process). In addition, the main control unit 41 starts a BET process and transmits a BET command to the sub-control unit 91. The BET command is a command that can specify that the main control unit 41 has started a BET process. When receiving the BET command, the sub control unit 91 increases and updates the BET number (sub) G, which is the second numerical value. Therefore, the main control unit 41 has the first numerical value B
At a timing after the timing of increasing and updating the ET number (main) C, the sub-control unit 91
The BET number (sub) G, which is the second numerical value, is increased and updated. Therefore, the increase update timing of the first numerical value and the second numerical value is shifted.

In the example indicated by reference sign Q, the first numerical values are the number of credits (main) A and the number of payouts (main) B. The second numerical value is the number of acquired sheets (sub) E, the number of credits (sub)
F, and the remaining AT number (sub) D when the winning combination is won. In addition, the update opportunity for updating the first numerical value and the second numerical value is that a small combination display result (in the example of FIG. 3, eight combinations) is derived. The main control unit 41 increases and updates the number of credits (main) A and the number of payouts (main) B, which are the first numerical values, by executing the payout process based on the derivation of the small combination display result. Further, when the sub-control unit 91 receives a payout start command (see FIG. 3B),
The second numerical values “acquired number (sub) E, credit number (sub) F, and AT remaining number (sub) D when added and won” are updated. Therefore, the sub-control unit 91 increases and updates the second numerical value at a timing after the timing when the main control unit 41 increases and updates the first numerical value. Therefore, the increase update timing of the first numerical value and the second numerical value is shifted.

Further, the example indicated by the reference symbol R is the content described in FIG. As described in FIG. 6, the decrease update timing of the BET number (sub) C as the first numerical value and the decrease update timing of the AT remaining number (sub) D (when the AT is not selected) as the second numerical value. It will be the same.

[Effect of this embodiment]
Next, the effect produced by the slot machine of this embodiment will be described.

(1) The three numerical values described in FIG. 3, that is, the number of credits (main) A and the number of acquired (
The fact that each of the sub) E and the number of credits (sub) F is updated is an update that is advantageous for the player (joyful for the player). Hereinafter, such an update is also referred to as an advantageous update. In addition, as described with reference to FIG. 3, the first number of credits (main) A
The update update start timing of the credit card number (sub) F and the acquired number (sub) E, which are the second numerical values, are different from each other. Therefore, the first numerical value and the second numerical value
Since the timing of the incremental update with the numerical value is made different from each other, it is possible to strongly impress the player that the numerical value has been updated as compared with the slot machine that performs the incremental update of these numerical values at the same timing. Further, since the timings of increasing and updating (advantageous updating) of the first numerical value and the second numerical value are made different, it is possible to strongly impress the player that the first numerical value and the second numerical value are increasing.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the incremental update control of the first numerical value and the second numerical value can be ended at different timings. In the example of FIG. 3, the period during which the incremental update control of at least one of the two numerical values is executed is a period from timing T2 to T5. In addition, when the incremental update control for each of the two numerical values is terminated at the same timing, the period during which the incremental update control is executed is a period from timing T2 to T4. Therefore, in the slot machine according to the present embodiment, the period in which the incremental update control of at least one of the two numerical values is executed as compared with the case where the incremental update control of each of the two numerical values is terminated at the same timing. Can be lengthened. Therefore, the player can be strongly impressed that the numerical value is increasing.

(2) In addition, the three numerical values described in FIG. 6, that is, the BET number (main) C, the BET number (sub) G, and the AT remaining number (sub) D are each reduced and updated. Update that is disadvantageous to the player (disliked by the player). Hereinafter, such an update is also referred to as a disadvantageous update. In addition, as described with reference to FIG. 6, the decrease update timing of the BET number (sub) C, which is the first numerical value, and the AT remaining number (sub) D, which is the second numerical value (when AT is not selected)
The update update timing is the same. Therefore, since the timing of the update of the decrease of these two numerical values is made the same, compared with the time of executing the update control of one numerical value,
The player can be strongly impressed that the numerical value has been updated.

In general, when the player notices that the numerical value is decreasing, the player sees the decreasing numerical value (for example, the first numerical value) and decreases the other numerical values (for example, the second numerical value). In many cases, you are not aware of what you are doing. Therefore, while the first numerical value is being updated,
When the second numerical value is also updated and decreased, when the first numerical value is updated and updated, the second numerical value is updated or updated or the remaining decreasing and updating period of the second numerical value is shortened. it can. Therefore, since the timings of the decrease and update of these two numerical values that are disadvantageous update for the player are made the same, it is possible to prevent the player from making the fact that the two numerical values are decreasing as much as possible.

(3) Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, both an advantageous update and a disadvantageous update are executed due to the establishment of one opportunity (in this embodiment, a winning combination of 8 sheets). The Therefore, various update controls can be executed at the one opportunity. Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, the number of credits (sub) F and the number of acquired sheets (sub) E increase at one timing (in this embodiment, the timing at which the sub control unit 91 receives the payout command). At the same time, the BET number (sub) G and the AT remaining number (sub) D are decreased and updated. Therefore, various update controls can be executed at the one timing.

(4) As described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 6, the timing for updating the numerical value by the main control unit 41 and the sub-control unit 9 in both the increase update control and the decrease update control.
1 can make the timing for updating the numerical value different. Therefore, since the update control of the main control unit 41 and the update control of the sub control unit 91 can be separated, the degree of freedom in designing the main control unit 41 and the sub control unit 91 can be increased. In addition, the update is performed by the sub-control unit 91 in any of the increase update control and the decrease update control.
The update timing of the two numbers is the same. Therefore, the update control burden of the sub-control unit 91 can be reduced as compared with the two numerical values updated by the sub-control unit 91 that are different in update timing.

(5) Also, as shown in FIG. 3, in the advantageous update, the numerical value is updated in a vertical scroll mode in which the numerical value slides in the vertical direction. On the other hand, in the disadvantageous update, the numerical value is updated in a horizontal scroll mode in which the numerical value slides in the horizontal direction. That is, the operation mode of the numerical value update when the advantageous update is performed is different from the operation mode of the numerical value update when the disadvantageous update is performed.
Therefore, it can be made easier for the player to recognize whether an advantageous update is performed or an unfavorable update is performed.

(6) Also, as described in FIG. 9, even when the updated values (eight in FIG. 9) are the same, in the case of an advantageous update that is increased from the values before the update, the vertical direction On the other hand, the numerical value is updated in the scroll mode, whereas the update of the numerical value is performed in the horizontal scroll mode in the case of an unfavorable update that is reduced from the numerical value before the update. In other words, even when the numerical value after the advantageous update is the same as the numerical value after the disadvantageous update, the numerical value is different between when the advantageous update is performed and when the disadvantageous update is performed. Since the operation mode of the update is different, it is possible to make it easier for the player to recognize whether an advantageous update is performed or a disadvantageous update is performed.

Note that, even when the numerical values after the update are different, the operation mode of the numerical value update may be different when the advantageous update is performed and when the disadvantageous update is performed.

Also, when advantageous updates are performed, the numerical value slides in the vertical direction, but when disadvantageous updates are performed, the numerical value slides in the horizontal direction, so that the player sees at a glance whether it is advantageous updates or disadvantageous updates. Can be judged.

(7) In the present embodiment, sound is output from the speakers 53 and 54 when advantageous updating is performed. By outputting such a sound (for example, winning sound, payout sound, etc.), it is possible to give the player a strong impression of an advantageous update compared to a disadvantageous update. In FIGS. 3 and 6, the case where both the advantageous update and the disadvantageous update are executed at one opportunity has been described. In this case, a voice triggered by the advantageous update may be output. Further, since the disadvantageous update is executed, the sound may not be output. On the other hand, no sound is output when an unfavorable update is performed without an advantageous update. Thereby, it can be made inconspicuous to the player that disadvantageous update was performed.

[Second Embodiment]
A second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the above-described first embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 9, the progress of the update is displayed in both cases of increasing update and decreasing update. For example, as shown in FIG. 9A, the number of credits (main)
In A, when updating the numerical value from 0 to 8, “0” → “1” → “2” →.
As shown in the figure, numerical values such as “1” and “2”, which are in the middle of updating from “0” to “8”, are once displayed. Further, as shown in FIG. 9B, in the credit number (main) A, when the numerical value is reduced and updated from 11 to 8, “11” → “10” → “9” → “
“10” or “8”, which is an intermediate process from “11” to “8”.
A numerical value such as “9” was once displayed. On the other hand, in 2nd Embodiment, the case where update of a numerical value when disadvantageous update is performed is performed without displaying progress on the way is demonstrated. Also, the same configuration / process as in the first embodiment is omitted, and a different configuration / process will be described.

FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining a numerical value update mode in the second embodiment. FIG.
A) shows an update mode of a decrease update (unfavorable update) of the number of credits (main) A, and FIG.
B) shows an update mode of incremental update (advantageous update) of the number of credits (main) A. Further, FIG. 11C shows an update mode of a decrease update (unfavorable update) of the acquired number (sub) E, and FIG.
D) shows an update mode of incremental update (advantageous update) of the acquired number (sub) E. In addition, FIG.
The update mode of B) is the same as the update mode of FIG. Further, the update mode in FIG. 11D is the same as the update mode in FIG.

In the first embodiment, when an unfavorable update is performed, the numerical value is updated by 1 so that the numerical value is decreased by 1 and the progress is displayed. In the second embodiment, FIG. 11 (A) and FIG.
As shown in 1 (C), the numerical value is updated so that the final update result is displayed collectively from the numerical value before the update without displaying the intermediate progress. More specifically, based on the operation of the MAXBET switch 6, as shown in FIG.
11 "is updated to" 8 ". In the example of FIG. 11A, the update is performed from “11” to “8” in a horizontal scroll mode.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11C, based on the operation of the start switch 7,
When the acquired number (sub) E is updated from “501” to “498”, “9” or “
“498” is displayed without displaying “500”. In the example of FIG.
“498” is displayed without executing the display control in the scroll mode.

As a modified example, the numerical values may be updated in a horizontal scroll mode in which the numbers slide from right to left from “501” to “498”. In this case, "500"
, “499” is displayed, and “498” is displayed by updating the numerical value in the horizontal scroll mode.

On the other hand, when the numerical value is updated in an advantageous direction, as shown in FIGS. 11A and 11C, the numerical value is updated one by one in the vertical scroll mode.

In this way, when two or more values are updated in an advantageous direction or an unfavorable direction, if the value is updated in an advantageous direction, the update progress is displayed by one by one, while the unfavorable direction is displayed. When the update is performed, the final update result is displayed without displaying the progress of the update. Therefore, since the progress is displayed when advantageous update is performed, the advantageous update can be impressed more strongly than the unfavorable update.

In addition, when the idea of “displaying the final update result without displaying the progress of the update” is applied to the decrease update of the BET number (main) in FIG. The BETLED that is being turned off is turned off at once.

[Main variations]
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications and applications are possible. Hereinafter, modifications of the above-described embodiment applicable to the present invention will be described.

[About the first numerical value and the second numerical value]
(1) In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, it is assumed that the number of types of numerical values with different update timings due to one update opportunity is two types (first numerical value and second numerical value). explained. However, the number of types of numerical values with different update timings depending on one update opportunity may be three or more. For example, in the example of FIG. 3, the credit number (main) A is increased and updated, then the credit number (sub) F is increased and updated, and then the acquired number (sub) E is increased and updated. . According to such a configuration, it is possible to give a stronger impression to the player that the numerical value has been increased and updated as compared with the present embodiment.

In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 6, it has been described that there are two types (first numerical value and second numerical value) of numerical values with the same timing of decreasing and updating due to one update opportunity. However, the number of types of numerical values having the same timing of decreasing and updating due to one update opportunity may be three or more. For example, in the example of FIG. 6, the BET number (main) C decrease update control, the AT remaining number (sub) D decrease update control, and the BET number (sub) G decrease update control are executed at the same timing. You may make it do. According to such a configuration, even when three or more types of numerical values are reduced and updated, it is possible to prevent the player from making the fact that the three or more types of numerical values are decreasing as much as possible. .

(2) Further, in the present embodiment, it has been described that the AT is managed by the net increase in the number of medals.
It has been described that the AT remaining number (sub) D is displayed as shown in FIG. However, the AT management method is not limited to this, and the AT may be managed by another method. For example, the AT may be managed by the number of games. When such a management method is adopted, for example, the number of AT remaining games (sub) may be displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 instead of the AT remaining number (sub) D. Further, in such a management method, the number of remaining AT games is added when an extra winning is won.
Also, when the number of remaining AT games reaches 0, the AT ends. Even with such a configuration, the same effects as in the present embodiment can be obtained.

In the present embodiment, the numerical main-side update timing by the main control unit 41 and the numerical sub-side update timing by the sub-control unit 91 are different from each other. However, the main-side update timing and the sub-side update timing may be the same. In the case of such a configuration, an update opportunity or the like is indicated as [update opportunity, first numerical value, second numerical value, type of update (whether it is an increased update or a reduced update), update timing]. For example, [Lever ON Operation, AT Remaining Game Number (Sub), Acquired Number (Sub) E, Decrease Update, Different Timing] is the number of AT remaining games that is the first value when the lever on operation is performed as an update opportunity It shows that (sub) and the acquired number (sub) E, which is the second numerical value, are reduced and updated at different timings. The combinations are listed below.
-[Lever ON operation during AT, AT remaining game number (sub), number of acquired games (sub) E, decrease update, same timing]
[Display result other than replay, execution of MAXBET operation, number of credits (main) A, number of credits (sub) F, reduced update, same timing]
・ [Derivation of display result (regardless of whether or not a prize has occurred), BET number (main) C, B
ET number (sub) G, decreasing update, same timing]
-[BET condition established, BET number (main) C, BET number (sub) G, incremental update, different timing]
[Derivation of small role display result, “credit number (main) A, payout number (main) B, earned number (sub) E, credit number (sub) F, and remaining AT game when winning extra” Any of the numbers "," numerical value other than the first numerical value ", incremental update, different timing]
Even with such an update opportunity, the first numerical value, the second numerical value, and the update timing, the same effect as the present embodiment is obtained.

(3) Further, in the present embodiment, it has been described that the update of the first numerical value and the update of the second numerical value are executed at different timings. However, the increase update of the first numerical value and the decrease update of the second numerical value may be executed at different timings.

Moreover, you may employ | adopt the structure which performs the decreasing update of a 1st numerical value, and the decreasing update of a 2nd numerical value at a different timing. This configuration will be further described. For example, there are a first numerical value that is advantageous to the player and a second numerical value that is advantageous to the player by being reduced and updated. For example, the first numerical value is the number of games until the ceiling game number is reached. Here, the number of ceiling games is the number of games to which a predetermined privilege is given when the number of digest games reaches. The predetermined privilege is, for example, control to the AT. Thus, it can be said that the decrease update of the first numerical value, which is “the number of games until the ceiling game number is reached”, is an update advantageous for the player.

Next, the second numerical value will be described. For example, in a battle effect where an enemy character and a teammate character battle each other, it is assumed that a privilege that is advantageous when the teammate character wins a battle is given. In this battle effect, when the enemy character's physical strength reaches 0, the battle is won, and when the friendly character's physical strength reaches 0, the battle is defeated. When such a battle effect is executed, the second numerical value may be the physical strength value of the enemy character. In this case, the fact that the numerical value is updated in the direction in which the physical strength of the enemy character decreases means that the possibility that the teammate character will win and the possibility that a privilege will be given increases. This is an advantageous update for

When such a first numerical value and a second numerical value are adopted, for example, when a specific condition is satisfied, the update of the first numerical value and the update of the second numerical value are performed at different timings. Also good. Here, the specific condition is established by winning a random number lottery executed by winning a rare role and executing a predetermined operation (for example, the third stop) in a game after the selected game. It is a condition. According to such a configuration, when the specific condition is satisfied, the update control of the first numerical value and the update control of the second numerical value are started at different timings, so that these update controls are performed at the same timing. Compared with the machine, the player can be strongly impressed that the numerical value has been updated.

(4) Further, in the present embodiment, it has been described that the first numerical decrease update and the second numerical decrease update are executed at the same timing. However, a configuration in which the update of the first numerical value and the update of the second numerical value are executed at the same timing may be employed.

This configuration will be further described. For example, there are a first numerical value and a second numerical value which are disadvantageous for the player due to the incremental update. For example, the first numerical value is the number of digest games at AT. At the AT, the AT ends when the number of digested games reaches a predetermined value. Therefore, it can be said that the increase update of the first numerical value, which is the number of digest games at the AT, is a disadvantageous update for the player.

Next, the second numerical value will be described. The second numerical value is the above-mentioned physical strength value of the enemy character. In this case, the fact that the numerical value is updated in the direction in which the physical strength of the enemy character increases (recovers) means that the possibility that the ally character will win and the possibility that a privilege will be given is reduced. This is a disadvantageous update for the player.

When such a first numerical value and a second numerical value are adopted, for example, the increase update of the first numerical value and the increase update of the second numerical value may be executed at the same timing. The specific condition is a random lottery executed when a disadvantaged person wins, and is established when the physical strength value of the enemy character is increased and a predetermined operation (third stop operation) is executed. It is good also as conditions. Alternatively, the third stop operation may be a lever-on operation. According to such a configuration, when the specific condition is satisfied, the first numerical value update control and the second numerical value update control are started at the same timing. Compared with, the player can be strongly impressed that the numerical value has been updated.

(5) Moreover, it is not restricted to the opportunity mentioned above, What kind of opportunity may be sufficient if it is the vicinity of this opportunity. For example, in FIG. 10, it has been described that the update timing of the credit (main) A is when the small combination display result is derived. However, it is not limited to this. For example, the timing does not matter as long as the main control unit 41 performs a winning determination process and specifies the number of medals to be paid out. Specifically, the update may be performed at the timing when the MAXBET switch 8 is operated to start the next game. At this time, the number of medals (for example, three) bet by the operation of the MAXBET switch 8 subtracted from the eight payouts (that is, the net increase number) may be updated. Also, the winning determination process may be performed when the last operation is performed among the operations necessary for deriving all display results, or the last operation is performed and all reels 2L to 2L are performed. It may be performed when 2R stops.

In addition, the update timing when the update trigger is a lever-on operation may be any timing as long as it is a timing in the vicinity of the operation. For example, the update timing may be a trigger to start rotation of three reels by the lever-on operation. For example, even if a lever-on operation is performed, the rotation of the three reels is not started unless the wait period has elapsed. The wait period refers to a period of waiting for the start of reel rotation without a certain period (for example, 4.1 seconds) from the start of the previous game. In view of such a situation, an update opportunity of the reference symbol R may be an opportunity to start rotation of the three reels.

The update timing when the update trigger is a MAXBET operation may be any timing as long as it is in the vicinity of the operation. For example, the betting number setting start timing may be set by executing the MAXBET operation. It may be the end timing of the number setting. For the update timing when the update trigger is the derivation of the display result, for example,
Any timing may be used as long as it is in the vicinity of the derivation of the display result. For example, it may be a third stop operation for deriving the display result.

(6) Further, the same number as the payout number (main) B may be displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In this case, the payout number (main) B can be displayed on both the game auxiliary display 12 and the liquid crystal display 51. Therefore, the number of payouts to the player (main) B
Can be impressed.

(7) In the example of FIG. 3, two numerical values (credit number (sub) F and acquired number (sub) E)
It has been described that the timing at which the increase is updated is the timing T3 when the sub control unit 91 receives the payout start command. However, the timing of the incremental update may be when the specific condition is satisfied at the timing T3. Here, the specific condition may be, for example, a condition that is satisfied when a predetermined time (for example, 1 second) elapses.

Thereby, the increase update timing of a 1st numerical value and a 2nd numerical value can be made different greatly from this embodiment. Therefore, it can be impressed more strongly that the update is increased. The predetermined time may be determined by random number lottery. According to such a configuration, various update controls can be executed.

(8) When the first numerical value is updated by two or more values (for example, see FIG. 4A), the timing T3 at which the second numerical value starts to be updated is set to a predetermined number of the two or more values. It may be the timing when the first numerical value is updated. For example, when the predetermined number is “1”, the timing T3 may be a timing at which “1” is displayed on the credit (main). Also, a third numerical value other than the first numerical value and the second numerical value (in FIG. 3, AT remaining number (sub) D)
If the second numerical value is also updated, the timing at which the third numerical value is updated may be the timing at which the second numerical value is updated by a predetermined number of the two or more values.

According to such a configuration, it is possible to synchronize the update of each numerical value while making it possible to change the start timing of the incremental update of each numerical value. Therefore, it is possible to update each numerical value with a good appearance as compared with the case where each numerical value is updated by one.

(9) Further, the period for updating a predetermined number (for example, 10) as a numerical value in unfavorable updating may be made shorter than the period for updating the predetermined number (for example, 10) as a numerical value in advantageous updating. For example, the period during which the first numerical value is increased by 10 by advantageous update is 5 seconds,
The period during which the first numerical value is decreased by 10 due to a disadvantageous update may be 2 seconds. According to such a configuration, it is possible to lengthen the time during which the advantageous update is executed, so that it is possible to make a strong impression on the player. On the other hand, since the time during which the advantageous update is executed can be shortened, it is possible to make the player inconspicuous that the disadvantageous update is being executed.

(10) When a plurality of types of numerical values (for example, a first numerical value to a third numerical value) are displayed, at least one numerical value among the plurality of types of numerical values is displayed on the first display means, and other numerical values are displayed. May be displayed by display means different from the first display means. A plurality of types of numerical values may be displayed by one display means. In this case, a plurality of types of numerical values are displayed in different areas of one display means.

(11) In the example of FIG. 3, each of the three numerical values has the same number (“8” in the example of FIG. 3).
It was explained that the end timing is different because it is updated incrementally. However,
For each of the three numerical values, the update update control may be made different for each of the three numerical values regardless of the value to be updated in the three numerical values. For example, in each incremental update of the first numerical value to the third numerical value, the period for updating the numerical value by “1” is made the same, the first numerical value is updated by “10”, the second numerical value is updated by “8”, The third numerical value is updated by "6", the second numerical value is started to be updated when the first numerical value is updated by "2", and the second numerical value is updated by "2". In the configuration of this embodiment, the end timing of the incremental update of the respective numerical values is the same. Even in such a situation, in this modified example, the end timing of the incremental update of each numerical value may be forcibly changed. For example, in the increment update of each numeric value, the end timing of the increment update of each numeric value may be varied by changing the period for incrementing update by “1”.

(12) In the example of FIG. 6, it has been described that the timings at which the update updating of the three numerical values ends are different. However, in the decreasing update control for each of the three numerical values, the timing at which the decreasing update control for each of the three numerical values is forcibly ended may be the same regardless of the numerical values that are updated. According to such a configuration, the timing at which the decrease update control of each of the three numerical values starts is the same, and the timing at which the decrease update control of each of the three numerical values ends is the same, regardless of the numerical value to be updated. . For example, in the increment update of each numerical value, the timing for completing the decrease update control for each of the three numeric values may be made the same by changing the period for performing the “1” decrease update. According to such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the player from making the fact that the three numerical values are decreasing as much as possible.

(13) In the present embodiment, the MAXBET switch 6 is exemplified as a means for setting the bet amount. However, instead of the MAXBET switch 6 or in addition to the MAXBET switch 6, a single BET switch is provided. It may be. In the case of such a configuration, the update timing of the reference symbol P is not limited to the operation to the MAXBET switch, but may be an operation to the single BET switch. Even with such a configuration, the same effects as in the present embodiment can be obtained.

(14) Further, for example, in FIG. 3, the period for updating the numerical value by 1 is described as being the same for the period for updating by the main control unit 41 and the period for updating by the sub control unit 91. However, the period in which the numerical value is updated by 1 is the same as the period in which the main control unit 41 updates, and the sub control unit 91.
You may make it differ with the period updated by. According to such a configuration, the main control unit 4
The degree of freedom can be increased with respect to the design of control for updating the numerical values of 1 and the sub-control unit 91.

(15) Further, in the present embodiment, the AT remaining number (sub) D is updated by subtracting the same number of net increase numbers as the main character, regardless of whether or not the main character is derived in the game in which the push order small character is won. Explained. However, for example, when a non-winning display result or a sub-combination having a payout number smaller than the bet number is derived, the AT remaining number (sub) D may not be subtracted. In this case, for example, in a game in which a winning combination is selected during an AT, the player is operated in an operation order different from the corresponding operation order due to an erroneous operation by the player, so that the non-winning display result or the bet number Even when a sub-combination with a small payout number is derived, the AT remaining number (sub) D can be prevented from being subtracted. Therefore, it is possible to rescue a player who has made such an erroneous operation.

(16) In the case where two or more types of numerical values are incrementally updated, a period in which at least one of the two or more types of numerical values is incrementally updated (advantageous update) is referred to as an “increase period”. In addition, when two or more types of numerical values are decreased and updated (unfavorable update), a period in which at least one of the two or more types of numerical values is updated is referred to as a “decreasing period”. The increase period may be longer than the decrease period regardless of the numerical values to be updated and updated. According to such a configuration, the period during which the advantageous update is performed can be made longer than the period during which the unfavorable update is performed. Therefore, the advantageous update can be strongly impressed as compared to the disadvantageous update.

(17) When two or more numerical values are incrementally updated, among the two or more types of numerical values, a numerical value that the main control unit 41 increases and updates (hereinafter referred to as a main-side update numerical value) and a sub control unit 91. Include a numerical value to be updated (hereinafter, referred to as a sub-side update numerical value), the increase update timing of the main control unit 41 may be set earlier than the increase update timing of the sub control unit 91. Good. In other words, the increase update of the main control unit 41 may be executed with priority over the increase update of the sub control unit 91. According to this configuration.
Since the process of the main control unit 41 that controls the progress of the game is preferentially executed, the game can be progressed stably. In addition, the sub control unit 91 executes processing based on the command transmitted from the main control unit 41. Therefore, since the main control unit 41 can execute update control in the flow of increasing update of the main side update numerical value → command transmission → sub control unit 91 increasing the sub side update numerical value, smooth update control can be executed.

(18) In the example of FIG. 6, it has been described that the BETLED extinguishing process is executed at the beginning of the game end process. However, the BETLED turn-off process may be executed during the game end process. Even with such a configuration, the timing of the BETLED extinguishing process in the game end process can be made variable, so that the degree of freedom of the designer can be increased.

(19) Further, the number of credits (main) A is updated at the timing when the display of the game auxiliary display 12 is initialized after the payout number (main) B is first updated by the display of the game auxiliary display 12.
The acquired number (sub) E may be updated. In this way, after the player confirms the number of medals to be paid out, the number of medals to be paid out is increased to the number of credits and net increase, so that the number of medals has increased. A player can recognize intuitively. In addition, the update opportunity of the reference sign Q may be an opportunity that the medal payout process is started by deriving the small combination display result.

(20) In the examples of FIGS. 3 and 6, the payout start command is described as being transmitted at the start of the payout process. However, any timing may be used as long as it is transmitted at a timing related to the payout process. For example, the payout start command may be transmitted during the payout process as a payout command.

[Number update operation mode]
In the above-described embodiment, the operation mode of the numerical value update is the scroll mode. However, the operation mode of the numerical value update may be different between when the advantageous update is performed and when the disadvantageous update is performed. A modification of the numerical value update mode will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 12 shows an update mode when the credit number displayed in the credit number (main) A is updated. Pattern A displays a state of update when advantageous update in which the number of credits is increased is performed. Pattern B displays the state of update when a disadvantageous update in which the number of credits is reduced is performed.

In pattern A and pattern B, pattern A is updated five times before “8” is displayed, whereas pattern B is updated three times. In this way, when the advantageous update is performed, the final display result may be displayed after displaying more halfway than when the disadvantageous update is performed. By doing in this way, in the case where advantageous update is performed, the update time becomes longer than in the case where disadvantageous update is performed, and the interest of the game is improved.

In addition, the pattern A and the pattern B are lit from the right side in the pattern A and “L” from the left side in the pattern B until “8” is displayed. In this way, by changing the mode of displaying the numerical value between when the advantageous update is performed and when the disadvantageous update is performed, the player is notified whether the advantageous update is performed or the disadvantageous update is performed. It can be easily recognized.

In the above embodiment, the numerical value is moved in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction, but may be moved obliquely. In addition, although it moves in the vertical direction when advantageous updating is performed and disadvantageous updating is performed, when advantageous updating is performed, updating is performed in such a manner that the numerical value moves from top to bottom. When the update is performed, the update may be performed in such a manner that the numerical value moves from the bottom to the top.

Also, when updating numbers with two or more digits, when advantageous updates are performed, the numbers are updated one by one, whereas when disadvantageous updates are performed, one digit is updated. Also good. For example, when updating “50” to “70”, the update is performed as “50”, “51”, and “52”, whereas when updating “50” to “47”, “50” is set. It may be set to “47” after “57”.

Also, the speed at which numerical values are updated may be different. For example, when 3 updates are performed for both favorable and unfavorable updates, the period from the start of the update until the final update result is displayed is shorter for unfavorable updates than for advantageous updates. It may be made to become.

[About emphasis on updates]
In the above-described embodiment, voice is output from the speakers 53 and 54 when advantageous update is performed, but voice is not output when disadvantageous update is performed. However, the method of impressing a favorable update more strongly than a disadvantageous update is not limited to this.

For example, when an advantageous update that increases medals is performed or an unfavorable update that reduces medals is performed, sound is output from the speakers 53 and 54, but the advantageous update is performed more adversely. The volume may be increased compared to. Even in this way, it is possible to give a strong impression to the player of the advantageous update compared to the disadvantageous update. In addition, when advantageous update is performed, a sound that is easier to hear may be output than when disadvantageous update is performed.

In addition, when advantageous update is performed, the LED provided in the gaming machine is turned on, whereas when the disadvantageous update is performed, it is not turned on, or the light amount is lowered and lighted compared to when advantageous update is performed. It may be.

[About numerical values]
In the above embodiment, as numerical values, information on the number of medals held by the player,
The information about the period controlled to an advantageous state such as AT is illustrated. However, the numerical value may be information represented by numbers updated in an advantageous direction or an unfavorable direction. For example, in a gaming machine that performs a lottery on whether or not to grant a privilege such as AT when points are accumulated more than a predetermined value, this point is used as a numerical value, and an update in which points are increased is advantageously updated. The reduced update may be a disadvantageous update.

[About gaming machines]
In the above embodiment, the slot machine that pays out game media to the player's hand according to the occurrence of a win has been described. However, the game medium is enclosed, and the game media is paid out to the player's hand when a win occurs. Alternatively, an enclosing slot machine that increases game points (scores) may be adopted. The base and the drum can be distributed, and the chassis is common and only the base or the base and the drum is called a gaming machine. In addition, the slot machine has a game area in which a game ball can be launched and a game can be played, and a betting amount can be set according to the game ball passing through a predetermined area provided in the game area. May be.

In the above embodiment, the case where the slot machine 1 is used as a gaming machine has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and any gaming machine capable of playing a game may be used. For example, the gaming machine may be applied to a so-called pachinko gaming machine. You can also For example, a game medium (
In a pachinko gaming machine in which a pachinko ball is played, the numerical data is reserved and stored by passing the starting pachinko ball provided in the game area and the number (number of ) Is displayed on the liquid crystal display as the stored storage information. Thereafter, the game control unit controls the variable display of the first special symbol by the first special symbol display device and the variable display of the second special symbol by the second special symbol display device in the special symbol game based on the hold storage information. . In addition, the display of one hold storage information is erased by executing the variable display once. Also, based on the random number extracted by the pachinko ball that has been struck passing through the start area provided in the game area, whether or not to generate a big hit, when generating a big hit, the big hit after the end of the big hit Control is performed until the fluctuation display is performed a predetermined number of times (hereinafter referred to as the ST number) in a probability variation state in which the probability is improved from the normal time. In addition, the ST count (S
(T remaining number of times) is displayed on the liquid crystal display. In addition, the number of STs is decreased by 1 by executing the variable display once.

Thus, when the variable display is executed once (when the special condition is satisfied), the decrease update (unfavorable update) control for erasing the display of the 1 stored storage information (first numerical value) and the 1 ST Decrease update (unfavorable update) control for decreasing the number of times (second numerical value) is executed at the same timing. Even with such a configuration, the same effect as the slot machine of the present embodiment can be obtained.

Also, in such a pachinko gaming machine, a predetermined number of pachinko balls are paid out when the pachinko balls win a prize opening including a start prize opening. In the liquid crystal display, for example, the total number of pachinko balls paid out during the big hit (first numerical value) and the number of pachinko balls paid out when the pachinko ball wins once in the winning opening (second numerical value). Is displayed. In this way, when the pachinko ball is won at the winning opening during the big hit (when special conditions are met), the renewal is increased to increase the total payout number (first value) of the pachinko balls paid out during the big win. (Advantageous renewal) control and increase renewal (advantageous renewal) control for increasing the number of pachinko balls to be paid out (second numerical value) when the pachinko ball has won once in the winning opening are executed at different timings. Even with such a configuration, the same effect as the slot machine of the present embodiment can be obtained.

As numerical values in such a pachinko gaming machine, information regarding the total number of game balls paid out by winning a big winning opening during a big hit game, information indicating the number of times controlled to a probability change state or a short time state, etc. Good. For example, when counting the number of game balls that have been launched and reducing the number used from the total number of payouts in the big hit game, the display mode will be different between the update of the disadvantageous value and the update of the advantageous value. That's fine. In addition, regarding pachinko machines that can add the number of times during the time reduction state, updating the disadvantageous value when the time reduction number decreases for each variable display, and updating the advantageous value when adding the time reduction number Thus, the display mode may be different.

[About gaming devices connected to gaming machines]
Further, the technical matters relating to the above-described update of the numerical values can be applied to a gaming device used in a game hall (so-called hall) in which a gaming machine such as a slot machine or a pachinko gaming machine is installed. The gaming device is provided corresponding to each gaming machine installed in the game hall, for example, and is a process (for example, medal, pachinko ball, etc.) for enabling gaming on the gaming machine. It is also possible to use an information display device that can display information such as a gaming machine related to a gaming machine or a gaming machine installed in the gaming room.

In this information display, for example, the number of medals used in the gaming machine is calculated from the number of AT remaining games (first numerical value) and the number of games paid out from the gaming machine up to the present after the game hall is opened. The net increase number (second numerical value) in the gaming machine is displayed.

Further, when a lever-on operation is executed (when a specific condition is satisfied), subtraction update control for subtracting 1 from the first numerical value and subtraction update control for subtracting 3 from the second numerical value are executed at the same timing. Is done. Further, when the winning combination is won and the small role is won (when a specific condition is satisfied), the update control for increasing the first numerical value and the second numerical value are increased by the determined number of additional games. The incremental update control is executed at different timings. Thus, even when applied to a gaming machine different from the slot machine and various gaming devices, the same effects as those of the above embodiment can be obtained.

It should be thought that embodiment disclosed this time is an illustration and restrictive at no points. The scope of the present invention is shown not by the above description but by the claims,
It is intended that all modifications within the meaning and scope equivalent to the terms of the claims are included.

1 slot machine, 2L, 2C, 2R reel, 8L, 8C, 8R stop switch, 51 liquid crystal display.
