On the other hand, when a player wins the second person battle, the main control circuit performs an additional lottery of an additional chance, and when the pullback zone succeeds, the main control circuit does not perform the additional lottery of the additional chance.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 86

Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachislot machine.

  Conventionally, when a player inserts a game medium such as a medal or coin (hereinafter referred to as “insertion operation”) and operates a start lever (hereinafter referred to as “start operation”), a plurality of symbols are respectively displayed. When the rotation of a plurality of reels arranged on the surface of the sheet starts and the stop button is operated (hereinafter referred to as “stop operation”), the rotation of the plurality of reels stops, and the combination of the symbols displayed as a result is displayed. There is known a so-called pachislot machine that is given a privilege depending on the game machine.

  In such a gaming machine, when a start operation is detected by a start switch, a random number is extracted and a lottery is performed (hereinafter, the result of the lottery is referred to as an “internal winning combination”), and the stepping motor is driven and controlled. If the stop operation is detected by the stop switch, the stepping motor is driven and controlled to stop the rotation of the reels based on the internal winning combination.

  For example, in Patent Document 1, information advantageous to the player, such as information for establishing an internal winning combination, is notified to the player so that the determined winning combination is not missed. A gaming machine is disclosed. It should be noted that notifying such information that would be advantageous to the player is generally referred to as navigating (navigating), and the period during which navigation is performed is referred to as AT (assist time), and has an AT function. A gaming machine is called an AT machine or an ART machine. According to the AT (ART) machine, the profits differ depending on not only the lottery probability of the internal winning combination but also the presence / absence of notification, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2006-104425

  In recent years, a gaming machine having a pull-back state with an increased probability of winning the AT after the end of the AT period (or the end of the AT period) is known. By winning, the AT period is resumed immediately after the end of the AT period. However, the retraction state in the conventional gaming machine has a problem that the probability of winning the AT is merely increased and lacks interest.

  The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and an object thereof is to provide a gaming machine capable of improving the interest of a game by pulling back.

  The gaming machine according to the present invention includes variable display means (for example, reels 3L, 3C, 3R) capable of variably displaying a plurality of identification displays (for example, symbols displayed on the reels 3L, 3C, 3R), and the variable display. A gaming machine comprising a game control means (for example, a main control circuit 90) for controlling the progress of a game using the means, wherein a gaming state for playing a game is different from a predetermined gaming state and the predetermined gaming state A first game state (for example, a normal ART) and a second game state (for example, a special ART) that are in a game state, and a pullback that can be brought back to the first game state that has ended after the end of the first game state. A continuation determining means (for example, a main control circuit 90) for determining whether or not to continue the first gaming state, and a continuation determining means. If it is determined that the first gaming state is not continued, first state transition means (for example, main control circuit 90) that transitions the gaming state to the withdrawal state, and in the withdrawal state, the gaming state is changed to the first gaming state. Withdrawing determination means (for example, main control circuit 90) for determining whether or not to pull back, and when the pullback determining means determines to return to the first gaming state, the gaming state is shifted to the first gaming state, and the pulling back is performed. When the determining means determines not to return to the first gaming state, the second state transition means (for example, the main control circuit 90) for shifting the gaming state to the predetermined gaming state and the stage of the first gaming state are advanced. (For example, main control circuit 90) capable of progressing (for example, a battle during a normal ART to the next game), and when the stage of the first gaming state proceeds to a predetermined stage (for example, And a third state transition means (for example, main control circuit 90) for transitioning the gaming state from the first gaming state to the second gaming state when the second player battle of the fourth round is won, When the continuation determining means determines to continue the first gaming state, or the pullback determining means determines to return to the first gaming state, the stage of the first gaming state is advanced.

  According to such a gaming machine, when the continuation of the first gaming state is determined during the first gaming state, the stage of the first gaming state proceeds. Here, in the gaming machine according to the present invention, when it is determined not to continue the first gaming state, the gaming machine shifts to the withdrawal state, and it is determined whether or not to return to the first gaming state during the withdrawal state. At this time, in the gaming machine according to the present invention, the stage of the first gaming state proceeds even when it is determined to pull back from the pulling-back state to the first gaming state. That is, in the gaming machine according to the present invention, when the pull-back is successful, it is possible to return to the state in which the first game state is advanced by one step, instead of returning to the state before pull-back.

  In the gaming machine according to the present invention, when the stage of the first gaming state proceeds to a predetermined stage, the gaming state is shifted from the first gaming state to the second gaming state. Therefore, if the first game state stage can be advanced as a result of the successful pull-back in the pull-back state, the player will be given further benefits (transition to the second game state) by the pull-back. Can improve the interest of the game by pulling back.

  In addition, the gaming machine according to the present invention determines that the continuation determination unit continues the first gaming state without giving a privilege when the withdrawal determination unit determines to return to the first gaming state. In some cases, the apparatus further includes a granting means (for example, a main control circuit 90) that can grant a privilege.

  According to such a gaming machine, when the continuation of the first gaming state is determined during the first gaming state, there is a possibility that a privilege may be granted, but when returning from the retracted state to the first gaming state No benefits are granted. In this way, since the privilege may be granted if the first gaming state can be continued before shifting to the withdrawal state, the player wishes to continue during the first gaming state. Thus, the player can be interested in the game in the first game state.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the gaming machine which can improve the interest of the game by pulling back can be provided.

  Hereinafter, a pachislot machine is taken as an example of a gaming machine showing an embodiment of the present invention, and its configuration and operation will be described with reference to the drawings.

[Function flow]
First, the functional flow of the pachislot machine will be described with reference to FIG. In the pachislot machine of this embodiment, medals are used as game media for playing games. In addition to medals, for example, coins, game balls, game point data, tokens, or the like can be applied as game media. In addition, the present invention is not limited to a gaming machine that pays out game media, but is applied to an enclosed game machine that encloses game media such as a game ball and grants benefits as electronic data such as earned points when a predetermined grant condition is satisfied. It is also possible to do.

  When a player inserts a medal into the pachislot machine and operates the start lever, one value (hereinafter referred to as a random number value) is extracted from random numbers in a predetermined numerical range (for example, 0 to 65535).

  The combination determining means performs lottery based on the extracted random number value and determines an internal winning combination (winning combination). This combination determining means is one of various processing means (processing functions) provided in a main control circuit described later. By determining the internal winning combination, a combination of symbols that permits display along an effective line, which will be described later, is determined. Note that the types of symbol combinations are given to the player such as a small role in which medals are paid out, a replay in which a replay (replay) is performed, a bonus role in which a bonus is performed, and the like. Those related to “winning” and other things related to “losing” are provided.

  Further, when the start lever is operated, a plurality of reels are rotated. Thereafter, when the stop button corresponding to the predetermined reel is pressed by the player, the stop control means performs control to stop the rotation of the corresponding reel based on the internal winning combination and the timing when the stop button is pressed. . This stop control means is one of various processing means (processing functions) provided in a main control circuit described later.

  In the pachislot machine, basically, control is performed to stop the rotation of the corresponding reel within a specified time (190 msec or 75 msec) from when the stop button is pressed. In the present embodiment, the number of symbols that move with the rotation of the reel within the specified time is referred to as “the number of sliding symbols”. In this embodiment, when the specified period is 190 msec, the maximum number of sliding pieces (maximum number of sliding pieces) is set to 4 symbols, and when the specified period is 75 msec, the maximum sliding piece Set the number to one symbol.

  When the internal winning combination permitting the symbol combination display for winning is determined, the stop control means that the symbol combination normally follows the active line within a specified time of 190 msec (four symbols). Stop the reel rotation so that it is displayed as much as possible. In addition, for example, one stop control means is used when a challenge bonus (hereinafter referred to as “CB”), which is a second type special character, and an “MB” (middle bonus) that continuously operates “CB” are operated. For the above reels, the rotation of the reels is stopped so that the combination of symbols is displayed as much as possible along the effective line within a specified time of 75 msec (for one symbol). Further, the stop control means uses various specified times corresponding to the gaming state to stop the rotation of the reel so that the combination of symbols that are not permitted to be displayed by the internal winning combination is not displayed along the active line. .

  In the present embodiment, the reel stop operation (operation of the stop buttons 19L, 19C, 19R) that is performed first when all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R are rotating is the first stop operation, the first The stop operation performed after the stop operation is referred to as a second stop operation, and the stop operation performed after the second stop operation is referred to as a third stop operation.

  Thus, when the rotation of the plurality of reels is all stopped, the winning determination means determines whether or not the combination of symbols displayed along the active line relates to winning. This winning determination means is also one of various processing means (processing functions) provided in the main control circuit described later. Then, when it is determined by the winning determination means that the displayed symbol combination is related to winning a prize, a reward such as a medal payout is given to the player. In a pachislot machine, a series of flows as described above is performed as one game (unit game).

  Also, in the pachislot machine, in the above-described series of gaming operations, video display performed by a display device such as a liquid crystal display device, light output performed by various lamps, sound output performed by a speaker, or a combination thereof Various productions are performed using.

  Specifically, when the start lever is operated, an effect random number value (hereinafter referred to as an effect random number value) is extracted in addition to the random number value used to determine the internal winning combination described above. When the effect random number is extracted, the effect determination means determines the effect to be executed this time by lottery from among a plurality of types of effect contents associated with the internal winning combination. This effect determination means is one of various processing means (processing functions) provided in a sub-control circuit described later.

  Next, when the content of the effect is determined by the effect determining means, the effect executing means performs an effect corresponding to each opportunity such as when the reel starts rotating, when the rotation of each reel stops, when determining whether or not there is a prize. Run. In this way, in the pachislot machine, for example, by executing the production contents associated with the internal winning combination, there is an opportunity to know or predict the determined internal winning combination (in other words, the combination of symbols to be aimed at). It is provided to the player and the player's interest can be improved.

[Pachislot machine structure]
Next, with reference to FIG. 2, the structure of the pachi-slot 1 in this embodiment is demonstrated.

<Information display>
Next, the configuration of the information display 14 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the information display 14 includes an insert lamp 141, a start lamp 142, a replay lamp 143, a bet number lamp 144, a credit lamp 145, a payout number lamp 146, an instruction monitor 147, And a limit lamp 148.

  When the insert lamp 141 is lit (or flashes (hereinafter omitted)), the player can be informed that a medal can be inserted, and when the start lamp 142 is lit, the game is accompanied by the operation of the start lever 6. The replay lamp 143 is lit to inform the player that a medal has been automatically inserted by the re-game operation. Also, the bet number lamp 144 is lit to inform the player of the number of medals bet, and the credit lamp 145 is lit to indicate the number of medals (credits) stored in the pachislot 1. The player is informed and the payout number lamp 146 is lit to notify the player of the number of medals (payout number) paid out according to the game result.

  The instruction monitor 147 includes a notification lamp 147a and a status indicator 147b (AT lamp). The notification lamp 147a is composed of, for example, a 7-segment LED, and lights up in a manner that uniquely corresponds to the information about the stop operation to be notified, so that the necessary stop operation information can be reported to the player. Further, the status indicator 147b is lit to inform the player that the current gaming state is a gaming state (for example, an ART state) for notifying the mode of a stop operation advantageous to the player.

  Here, as will be described later, in the present embodiment, “push order combination” is provided in which the combination of symbols displayed differs depending on the order (push order) of the stop operation. The mode that uniquely corresponds to the information of the stop operation notified by the notification lamp 147a is, for example, that “1” is displayed when the pressing order “left, middle, right” is notified, and the pressing order “left, right, For example, “2” is displayed when “medium” is notified.

  As shown in FIG. 4 described later, the information display 14 is controlled by the main control board 71 via the door relay terminal board 68. Here, in the pachi-slot 1, in addition to the notification lamp 147a controlled by the main control board 71, other means controlled by the sub-control board 72 may be used to notify the stop operation information. Information on the stop operation may be notified in the liquid crystal display device 11 described above.

  In this case, the notification mode in the notification lamp 147a may be different from the notification mode in other means. That is, the notification lamp 147a may be notified in a manner that uniquely corresponds to the information on the stop operation to be notified, and does not necessarily need to notify the information on the stop operation directly (for example, “1” in the notification lamp 147a). Even if "" is displayed, there is a possibility that the notification content may not be specified depending on the player, which is not a direct notification). On the other hand, in the notification by other means, the information on the stop operation may be directly notified. For example, when notifying the push order “left, middle, right”, the notification lamp 147a displays “1” uniquely corresponding to the push order to be notified, while other means (liquid crystal display device 11): As a direct notification that the first stop operation is performed on the left reel 3L, the second stop operation is performed on the middle reel 3C, and the third stop operation is performed on the right reel 3R. Also good.

  As described above, in the pachislot machine 1 of this embodiment, not only the control of the sub-control board 72 but also the control of the main control board 71 can notify information on necessary stop operation according to the internal winning combination. Of course, the notification of the stop operation information may be controlled according to the gaming state. More specifically, the stop operation information may be notified in the later-described ART state without notifying the stop operation information in the later-described normal state (non-ART).

  In the pachislot machine 1 of this embodiment, the notification lamp 147a is provided separately from the credit lamp 145 and the payout number lamp 146, but either the credit lamp 145 or the payout number lamp 146 is not provided without the notification lamp 147a. It is good also as alerting | reporting the information of stop operation.

<Main control circuit>
Next, the configuration of the main control circuit 91 mounted on the main control board 71 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration example of the main control circuit 91 of the pachi-slot 1.

  The main control circuit 91 is mainly composed of a microcomputer 92 mounted on the main control board 71. The microcomputer 92 includes a main CPU 93, a main ROM 94, and a main RAM 95.

  The main ROM 94 stores a control program executed by the main CPU 93, a data table, data for transmitting various control commands (commands) to the sub control circuit 101, and the like. The main ROM 94 stores a plurality of minimum game times related to the unit game.

  The main RAM 95 is provided with a storage area for storing various data such as an internal winning combination determined by execution of the control program.

  The main CPU 93 is connected to a clock pulse generation circuit 96, a frequency divider 97, a random number generator 98 and a sampling circuit 99. The clock pulse generation circuit 96 and the frequency divider 97 generate clock pulses. The main CPU 93 executes a control program based on the generated clock pulse. The random number generator 98 generates a random number in a predetermined range (for example, 0 to 65535). The sampling circuit 99 extracts one value from the generated random numbers.

  The main CPU 93 counts the number of times pulses are output to the stepping motor of each reel after detecting the reel index. Thus, the main CPU 93 manages the rotation angle of each reel (mainly, how many symbols the reel has rotated). The reel index is information indicating that the reel has made one revolution. The reel index includes, for example, an optical sensor having a light emitting unit and a light receiving unit, and a detection piece provided at a predetermined position of each reel and interposed between the light emitting unit and the light receiving unit by the rotation of each reel. It is detected by a reel position detector (not shown).

  Here, the management of the rotation angle of each reel will be specifically described. The number of pulses output to the stepping motor is counted by a pulse counter provided in the main RAM 95. Each time the output of a predetermined number of pulses necessary for the rotation of one symbol is counted by the pulse counter, the symbol counter provided in the main RAM 95 is incremented by one. A symbol counter is provided for each reel. The value of the symbol counter is cleared when a reel index is detected by a reel position detector (not shown).

  In other words, in the present embodiment, by managing the symbol counter, it is managed how many symbols have been rotated since the reel index was detected. Therefore, the position of each symbol on each reel is detected with reference to the position where the reel index is detected.

<Sub control circuit>
Next, the configuration of the sub control circuit 101 mounted on the sub control board 72 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration example of the sub control circuit 101 of the pachi-slot 1.

  The sub control circuit 101 is electrically connected to the main control circuit 91 and performs processing such as determination and execution of effect contents based on a command transmitted from the main control circuit 91. The sub-control circuit 101 basically includes a sub CPU 102, a sub RAM 103, a rendering processor 104, a drawing RAM 105, and a driver 106.

  The sub CPU 102 controls the output of video, sound, and light according to the control program stored in the ROM cartridge substrate 86 in accordance with the command transmitted from the main control circuit 91. The ROM cartridge substrate 86 basically includes a program storage area and a data storage area.

  A control program executed by the sub CPU 102 is stored in the program storage area. For example, the control program includes a main board communication task for controlling communication with the main control circuit 91 and an effect registration task for extracting and registering effect contents (effect data) by extracting effect random numbers. Various programs for executing are included. In addition, the control program includes a drawing control task for controlling the display of video by the liquid crystal display device 11 based on the determined content of the effect, a lamp control task for controlling the output of light from the light source such as the LED group 85, and the speakers 65L and 65R. Various programs for executing a voice control task or the like for controlling the output of sound according to the above are also included.

  The data storage area includes a storage area for storing various data tables, a storage area for storing effect data constituting each effect content, and a storage area for storing animation data related to creation of video. Further, the data storage area includes a storage area for storing sound data related to BGM and sound effects, a storage area for storing lamp data related to a light on / off pattern, and the like.

  The sub-RAM 103 is provided with a storage area for registering the determined contents and effects data, and a storage area for storing various data such as an internal winning combination transmitted from the main control circuit 91.

  The sub CPU 102, the rendering processor 104, the drawing RAM (including the frame buffer) 105, and the driver 106 create a video according to the animation data designated by the content of the presentation, and display the created video on the liquid crystal display device 11.

  Further, the sub CPU 102 causes a speaker group such as speakers 65L and 65R to output a sound such as BGM according to the sound data specified by the contents of the effect. Further, the sub CPU 102 controls lighting and extinguishing of the LED group 85 in accordance with the lamp data designated by the contents of the effect.

[Pachislot machine game state transition flow]
Next, the gaming state controlled by the main control circuit 91 (main CPU 93) of the pachislot machine 1 of this embodiment and the transition flow thereof will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7A is a transition flow diagram of the basic gaming state of the pachislot 1, and FIG. 7B is a transition flow diagram of the gaming state in consideration of the presence or absence of the notification (ART) function, FIG. 7C is a table summarizing the game condition transition conditions.

  First, with reference to FIG. 7A, a basic game state transition flow of the pachislot 1, that is, a game state transition flow associated with the operation of a bonus or RT state will be described. In the present embodiment, the main control circuit 91 manages the gaming state based on the presence / absence of bonus winning / acting, the type of internal winning combination related to replay, and the winning probability thereof.

As shown in FIG. 7A, the main control circuit 91 is based on whether or not a bonus (a combination continuous action device related to a first type special accessory ("F_BB" in this embodiment)) is won / operated. The bonus non-winning state, the inter-flag state, and the bonus state are distinguished. Specifically, the bonus non-winning state is a state where the bonus is not won and the bonus is not activated, and between the BB flags is a state where the bonus is won and the bonus is not activated. Is a state in which the bonus is activated.
Note that the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment has a CB (second-type special bonus) whose operation ends in one game, but in the following, a game during CB operation is treated as a bonus non-winning state. This embodiment will be described.

  Whether or not a bonus is won is managed based on data stored in an internal winning combination storing area (not shown) provided in the main RAM 33, and whether or not a bonus is activated is determined by a game state flag provided in the main RAM 33. Management is based on data stored in a storage area (not shown). Here, in the pachi-slot 1 of the present embodiment, when a bonus-related combination (more specifically, “F_BB”) is determined as an internal winning combination, the bonus-related combination is carried over as an internal winning combination until the bonus is activated. It is. The inter-flag state is a state in which a combination related to the bonus is carried over as an internal winning combination.

  Further, the main control circuit 91 provides four types of RT states, RT0 to RT3, in which the internal winning combination related to replay and the winning probability differ from each other. The RT state is a gaming state in which the user stays in an initial state such as after the bonus state ends. In addition, the RT1 state is a gaming state in which the probability that a role related to replay is determined as an internal winning combination is low, and the RT2 and RT3 states have a high probability that a role related to replay is determined as an internal winning combination. It is a gaming state that becomes.

  These RT0 to RT3 states are managed based on data stored in a game state flag storage area (not shown) provided in the main RAM 33. Specifically, the pachislot 1 has three flags, an RT1 state flag to an RT3 state flag, and manages the RT state by managing on / off of these flags by the main RAM 33. When all the RT state flags are OFF, the main control circuit 91 specifies that the current RT state is the RT0 state.

  As shown in FIG. 7C, the main control circuit 91 shifts the gaming state from the RT0 state to the RT1 state when (1) a bell spilled eye is displayed in the RT0 state. In addition, when the RT2 promotion replay is displayed in the RT1 state, the main control circuit 91 shifts the gaming state from the RT1 state to the RT2 state, and (3) a bell spill or fall replay is displayed in the RT2 state. Then, the gaming state is shifted from the RT2 state to the RT1 state.

  It should be noted that the bell spilled eyes ("R_bell spilled" in FIG. 11 described later) are pushed in the order in which the push order bells (F_push order bells 1A to F_push order bells 6B) described later are determined as internal winning combinations. This is a combination of symbols that may be displayed when the answer is incorrect in the order of pressing determined for each type of bell (see FIG. 18 described later).

  In addition, RT2 promotion replay ("C_Rake lip 3" in FIG. 4 described later) is performed when push order lip 1 (F_push order lip 1A to F_push order lip 1F) described later is determined as an internal winning combination. , A combination of symbols displayed when the correct answer is given in the pressing order determined for each type of the pressing order Lip 1 (see FIG. 18 described later).

  In addition, in the fall replay ("C_Rake Lip 1" and "C_Rake Lip 2" in FIG. 9 described later), the push order lip 2 (F_push order lip 2A to F_push order lip 2E) described later is an internal winning combination. The combination of symbols displayed when the answer is incorrect in the push order determined for each type of push order lip 2 (see FIG. 18 described later).

  Further, the main control circuit 91 shifts the gaming state from the RT0 to RT3 state to the BB flag when the bonus winning combination is determined as the internal winning combination in the RT0 to RT3 state. The main control circuit 91 shifts the gaming state from between the BB flags to the bonus state when (6) a bonus-related combination determined as an internal winning combination is won between the BB flags and the bonus state starts. Further, the main control circuit 91 ends the bonus state when (7) a bonus state end condition (for example, the number of medals paid out during the bonus state exceeds 264) is satisfied during the bonus state. The game state is shifted to the RT0 state.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 7B, a transition flow of the gaming state regarding the presence / absence of notification will be described. The pachislot 1 not only manages the gaming state based on the presence / absence of a bonus win / activate, the type of internal winning combination related to replay, and the winning probability, but also whether or not to notify a stop operation advantageous to the player. The gaming state is managed based on the above.

  As shown in FIG. 7B, the main control circuit 91 of the pachislot 1 distinguishes the normal state, the chance zone, and the ART state based on the presence / absence of notification. A part of the normal state and the chance zone (PCZ described later) is basically a gaming state (non-ART) that does not notify the contents of the stop operation advantageous to the player, and a part of the ART state and the chance zone ( CZ), which will be described later, is a gaming state in which a stop operation that is advantageous to the player is notified. In the pachi-slot 1 of the present embodiment, the player performs a game from the normal state (with a bonus state depending on the situation) to shift to an ART state that is advantageous to the player.

  The normal state is the most unfavorable gaming state in the pachislot 1. As shown in FIG. 7B, there is a possibility that the normal state shifts to the chance zone and the ART state. Specifically, in the normal state, the lottery for the transition to the chance zone is performed. (A) When the winning lottery is won, the main control circuit 91 shifts the gaming state from the normal state to the chance zone. Further, in the normal state, the lottery for shifting to the ART is performed. (B) When the winning lottery is won, the main control circuit 91 shifts the gaming state from the normal state to the ART state.

  The chance zone is a gaming state that has a high expectation for shifting to the ART state, and as shown in FIG. 7B, there is a possibility that the chance zone shifts to the ART state or the normal state. Specifically, in the chance zone, a lottery for transitioning to ART is performed. (C) When this transition lottery is won, the main control circuit 91 shifts the gaming state from the chance zone to the ART state, and (D) When the chance zone ends without winning the transition lottery, the main control circuit 91 shifts the gaming state from the chance zone to the normal state.

  Here, in the pachislot 1, the ART state is basically a gaming state in which the ART in the RT3 state is won and starts when the RT state shifts to the RT3 state after the ART is won. As shown in FIG. 7A, since the RT3 state shifts from the RT2 gaming state, the ART state is not immediately started even after the ART is won. Therefore, in the pachislot 1, it is assumed that ART preparation is in progress until the transition to the RT3 state after the ART is won, and a stop operation necessary for transitioning to the RT3 state is notified during the ART preparation.

  Subsequently, the ART state is basically a gaming state in which the ART in the RT3 state is won. As shown in FIG. 7B, there is a possibility of shifting from the ART state to the normal state or the chance zone. Specifically, when the (E) ART state is ended and there is no chance zone stock, the main control circuit 91 shifts the gaming state from the ART state to the normal state, and (F) the ART state is When the game is finished and there is a chance zone stock, the main control circuit 91 shifts the gaming state from the ART state to the chance zone.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7C, there is a possibility of shifting from the normal state, the chance zone, and the ART state to the bonus state. Specifically, (G) when a bonus winning combination is won in the normal state, the chance zone, and the ART state, the main control circuit 91 shifts the gaming state to the bonus state. (H) If there is no ART state stock at the end of the bonus state, the main control circuit 91 shifts the gaming state from the bonus state to the normal state, and (I) the ART state stock at the end of the bonus state. If there is, the main control circuit 91 shifts the gaming state from the bonus state to the ART state.

[Various data tables 1 on the main control side]
Next, the configuration of various data tables stored in the main ROM 94 will be described with reference to FIGS.

<Pattern arrangement table>
The symbol arrangement table shown in FIG. 8 represents the arrangement of symbols arranged on the surface of each of the left reel 3L, the middle reel 3C, and the right reel 3R by data. The symbol arrangement table defines the correspondence between the twenty symbol positions “0” to “19” and symbols corresponding to these symbol positions.

  Symbol positions “0” to “19” indicate the positions of symbols arranged along the rotation direction in each of the left reel 3L, the middle reel 3C, and the right reel 3R. The symbols corresponding to the symbol positions “0” to “19” can be specified by referring to the symbol arrangement table using the value of the symbol counter.

  The types of symbols are “Blue 7”, “BAR”, “Watermelon 1”, “Watermelon 2”, “Cherry”, “Bell”, “Replay”, “Blank 1”, “Blank 2” and “Blank 3” Is included.

  The symbol arrangement table shown in FIG. 8 assigns the symbol located in the middle stage of the reel display window 4 when the reel index is detected (the symbol passing through the middle stage of the reel display window 4) to the symbol position “0”. Correspondence relationships are defined in which symbol positions “0” to “19” are assigned to each of the twenty symbols in the order of movement in the rotation direction of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R. In this way, by using the middle stage of the reel display window 4 as a reference, the type of symbol positioned in the middle stage of the reel display window 4 can be specified for each of the three reels 3L, 3C, and 3R.

<Design code table>
Also, as shown in FIG. 8, each symbol arranged on each reel 3L, 3C, 3R is specified by a symbol code table and is distinguished by 1 byte (8 bits) data. The symbol code table shown in FIG. 8 represents codes for specifying symbols arranged on the surfaces of the three reels 3L, 3C, and 3R.

  The symbols used in the pachi-slot 1 according to the present embodiment are “blue 7”, “BAR”, “watermelon 1”, “watermelon 2”, “cherry”, “bell”, “replay”, “blank 1”, “blank”. 10 types of “2” and “blank 3”. In the symbol code table, “00000001” is assigned to the “blue 7” symbol (symbol code 1), and “00000010” is assigned to the “BAR” symbol (symbol code 2). ing. Similarly, “00000011” to “0000010” are assigned as data to symbols (symbol codes 3 to 10) of “watermelon 1” to “blank 3”.

<Design combination table>
Next, the symbol combination table will be described with reference to FIGS. The symbol combination table is a combination of symbols predetermined according to the type of privilege, data stored in the main RAM 95 when the symbol combination is displayed, and when the symbol combination is displayed. Stipulates the correspondence with the benefits (number of medals paid out).

  In this embodiment, a winning combination is determined when the symbol combination displayed along the active line matches the symbol combination (combination) defined in the symbol combination table. When it is determined that the prize is won, the player is given privileges such as paying out medals, replaying (replaying), and bonus game (acting equipment continuous operation device). In addition, when the combination of symbols displayed along the active line does not coincide with any of the symbol combinations defined in the symbol combination table, it is a so-called “out of”. In other words, in the present embodiment, the symbol combination corresponding to “missing” is not defined in the symbol combination table, thereby defining the symbol combination of “missing”. Note that the present invention is not limited to this, and an item “displacement” may be provided in the symbol combination table to directly define “disappearance”.

  The data column in the symbol combination table defines information for identifying a symbol combination displayed along the active line. Specifically, in the data column, a “storage area” in which data of a corresponding symbol combination is stored and a “data (bit corresponding to a symbol combination in 1-byte data) stored in the storage region” Data for designating “)” is defined.

  The combination defined in the symbol combination table means a symbol combination of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R displayed along the effective line when each reel 3L, 3C, 3R is stopped. Each combination is defined with a combination name corresponding to the role of the combination and the type of symbol constituting the combination.

  The number of payouts defined in the symbol combination table defines the number of medals to be paid out when the corresponding symbol combination (combination) is displayed. For example, referring to FIG. 10, when a combination of symbols with the combination name “C_TL bell” is displayed in a 3BET game, nine medals are paid out.

  The content column in the symbol combination table indicates the role of each symbol combination and the characteristics of each symbol combination. Referring to FIG. 9, for example, the combination names “C_Bakeru Lip 1” and “C_Bakeru Lip 2” are combinations of fall replay symbols. When displayed along the active line, the gaming state is RT1. Transition to the state (see FIG. 7).

<Internal lottery table>
Next, an internal lottery table referred to when determining an internal winning combination will be described with reference to FIGS. The internal lottery table is provided for each gaming state and defines lottery value information corresponding to each combination.

  12 is an internal lottery table referred to during the RT0 state, FIG. 13 is an internal lottery table referred to during the RT1 state, and FIG. 14 is an internal lottery table referred to during the RT2 state. FIG. 15 is an internal lottery table referred to during the RT3 state. In addition, the “between BB flags (3 BET)” field in FIG. 16 is an internal lottery table referred to during the BB flag, and the “between (BB) (3 BET)” field in FIG. 16 is referenced during the bonus state. It is an internal lottery table.

Further, as described above, in the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the CB may operate during the bonus non-winning state. Therefore, the internal lottery tables of FIGS. 12 to 15 referred to during the bonus non-winning state show the internal lottery table referred to during the CB operation and the internal lottery table referred to during the CB non-operation. For example, the “non-CB (3 BET)” column in FIG. 12 is an internal lottery table that is referred to during the RT0 state and CB non-operation, and the “CB (2 BET)” column is the RT0 state, and It is an internal lottery table referred to during CB operation.
During the CB operation, all small combinations are determined as internal winning combinations regardless of the lottery values defined in the internal lottery table.

  In this embodiment, random numbers for lottery extracted from a predetermined numerical range “0 to 65535” are sequentially subtracted by lottery values (not shown) corresponding to each combination, and the result of the subtraction is negative. An internal lottery is performed by determining whether or not a so-called “digit” has occurred.

  Therefore, the larger the numerical value defined as the lottery value, the higher the probability that the combination to which the lottery is assigned is determined as the internal winning combination. That is, the winning probability of each number can be represented by “the lottery value corresponding to each number / the number of all random values that may be extracted (65536)”.

<Correspondence table of internal winning combination and symbol combination>
FIG. 17 is a comparison table showing a correspondence relationship between combinations of symbols that can be displayed on the active line in each internal winning combination when each winning combination is determined as an internal winning combination. A circle in each correspondence table indicates a combination (combination) of symbols that can be displayed on the active line in the combination determined as the internal winning combination.

  In the pachi-slot 1, the main control circuit 91 varies the stop control according to the internal winning combination and the gaming state, and when the predetermined winning combination is determined as the internal winning combination, a combination of symbols of the correspondence relationship shown in FIG. The rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is stopped so that the combination) can be displayed. Here, in the correspondence table shown in FIG. 17, all combinations of symbols that may be displayed when the winning combination is determined as an internal winning combination are listed. Even if the combination of symbols is made, it may not be displayed.

  That is, in the pachislot machine 1, stop control (for example, a drawing to be preferentially drawn) is made different depending on a combination of symbols that can be stopped and the current gaming state. Even combinations of symbols marked with may not be displayed. Accordingly, FIGS. 18 and 19 show the correspondence relationship between the type of combination and the combination of symbols actually stopped and displayed.

<Correspondence 1 between the internal winning combination and the combination of symbols that are stopped and displayed>
Correspondence 1 in FIG. 18 shows the correspondence between the winning combination and the combination of symbols during CB non-operation. In the pachi-slot 1, “push order combination” is provided as a plurality of combinations in which the combination of symbols displayed differs according to the order of the stop operation (push order). When the pressing combination is determined as the internal winning combination while the CB is not operating, the main control circuit 91 changes the combination of symbols to be stopped and displayed according to the relationship between the type of the pressing combination and the pressing sequence.

  It should be noted that the symbol combinations displayed according to the pressing order include a symbol combination advantageous to the player and a symbol combination disadvantageous to the player. Basically, the combination of symbols that is displayed when the correct push order is correct for the push order is a combination of symbols that is advantageous to the player. The combination of symbols displayed in some cases is a symbol combination that is disadvantageous to the player. The main control circuit 91 basically notifies the player of the correct push order for the push order when the push order is determined as the internal winning combination during the ART state.

  When the internal winning combination is determined in the game in which the CB is not operating, the main control circuit 91, among the symbol combinations having the correspondence shown in FIG. Rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is stopped so that is displayed along the active line.

<Correspondence 2 between the internal winning combination and the combination of symbols to be stopped display>
Subsequently, the correspondence 2 in FIG. 19 shows the correspondence between the winning combination and the combination of symbols during the CB operation. As described above, during the CB operation, all the small combinations are determined as internal winning combinations, while other replay-related bonuses and bonus-related combinations are determined as internal winning combinations according to the lottery value. . During the CB operation, the main control circuit 91 varies the stop control according to the combination related to the replay or the combination related to the bonus in addition to all the small combinations.

Specifically, in addition to all the small roles during CB operation, “F_BB + F_Lip 2”, “F_BB + F_Lip 4”, “F_BB + F_Lip 5”, “F_BB + F_Strong Bell”, “F_BB + F_Cherry B”, “F_BB + F_Cherry C” or “F_BB + F_ When “Cherry D” is determined as the internal winning combination, the main control circuit 91 causes the reel 3L to display the combination of symbols “C_middle cherry 1” or “C_middle cherry 2” along the active line. , 3C and 3R are stopped.
In addition, in addition to all the small roles during CB operation, the internal winning combination when any of “F_BB + F_Lip 2” to “F_BB + F_Cherry D” is determined as the internal winning combination is referred to as “all winning C May be called.

In addition, when “F_Lip 2” or “F_Lip 5” is determined as an internal winning combination in addition to all the small combinations during the CB operation, the main control circuit 91 selects “C_strong cherry 1”, “C_strong” The rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is stopped so that the combination of symbols “Cherry 2” or “C_Strong Cherry 3” is displayed along the active line.
The internal winning combination when “F_Lip 2” or “F_Lip 5” is determined as the internal winning combination in addition to all the small combinations during the CB operation is hereinafter referred to as “all winning B”. Sometimes.

In addition, when the “out of” or other replaying combination is determined as an internal winning combination in addition to all the small combinations during the CB operation, the main control circuit 91 selects “C_XD bell” or “C_small V bell”. The rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R is stopped so that the symbol combination "" is displayed along the active line.
In addition, in addition to all the small roles during CB operation, the “winning” or other internal winning combination when the role related to replay is determined as the internal winning combination will be referred to as “all winning A” below. There is.

<Notification (navigation) contents for each gaming state>
Next, FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating the content of the push order that is notified to the player when the push order is determined as the internal winning combination. In FIG. 20, “first navigation only” refers to notifying a part of the correct pressing order (type of reel to be stopped in the first stop operation). In other words, “first navigation only” means, for example, that “left” is reported when the correct answer is “left middle right”, or the correct answer is “middle left / right”. To notify “medium”. In FIG. 20, “all navigation” refers to notifying all of the correct pushing orders (types of reels to be stopped in the first stop operation to the third stop operation). In other words, “all navigation” means, for example, that when the correct answer push order is “left middle right”, the notification is “left middle right”, and when the correct answer push order is “middle left and right” “Middle left and right”.

  Although details will be described later, in the pachi-slot 1 of the present embodiment, during the CZ that is a part of the chance zone, when the number of guaranteed games of the CZ (the number of CZ games) remains, a part of the correct push order is displayed. When the number of guaranteed games of CZ is exhausted, all of the correct push order is notified. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 20, during CZ, the contents of notification differ depending on whether there is a guarantee.

<Correspondence between internal winning combination and lottery group>
In general, in a pachislot machine, various lotteries are performed based on the internal winning combination. When a number of combinations can be determined as internal winning combinations, a lottery result is provided for each combination. The amount of data required for lottery becomes enormous. From the viewpoint of game play, it is preferable to perform various lotteries. However, since the main ROM 94 has a limited capacity due to specifications, if the amount of data required for one lottery becomes enormous, the type of lottery is reduced. As a whole, gameability becomes monotonous.

Therefore, in the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment, a large number of roles are grouped, and various lotteries are performed based on the grouped information (lottery group). Thereby, the data amount required for each lottery can be suppressed.
FIG. 21 is a table showing the correspondence between internal winning combinations and lottery groups. For example, “F_push order bell 1A” to “F_push order bell 6B” are grouped as push order bells, “3 (bell group)” in lottery group A, and “2 (bell group)” in lottery group B. Various lotteries are performed.

  In addition, “F_Cherry D”, “All Wins C”, and “F_BB” correspond to “4 (losing group)” in the lottery group A and “3 (losing group)” in the lottery group B. As will be apparent from various lottery tables to be described later, lottery based on the group of losers basically results in a lottery that is unfavorable for the player. Therefore, “F_Cherry D”, “All Wins C” or “ Even when “F_BB” is determined as an internal winning combination, a lottery result unfavorable to the player is obtained. In this regard, in the pachi-slot 1 of the present embodiment, when “F_Cherry D”, “All Wins C” or “F_BB” is determined as an internal winning combination, a special process is performed to make the player advantageous. The lottery results using the lottery table are the same as the lottery results based on the lost group.

  Since “F_BB” is always won when “F_Cherry D” or “All Wins C” is won, special processing when “F_Cherry D”, “All Wins C” or “F_BB” is won, In other words, it is a special process when a bonus is won. For example, the main control circuit 91 determines that “F_Cherry D”, “All Wins C” or “F_BB” is an internal winning in the PCZ, which will be described later, which is a part of the chance zone. When determined as a winning combination, one stock in the ART state is awarded, and an ART lottery is performed according to the point at that time, and “F_Cherry D”, “ If “all winning C” or “F_BB” is determined as an internal winning combination, one ART stock is awarded, and “F_Cherry D”, “all winning C” or “F_BB” If the winning combination is determined, a process of adding 50 to the number of guaranteed games described later is performed.

[Game flow in normal state]
Next, with reference to FIG. 22 and FIG. 23, the flow of the game in the normal state will be described. In the pachi-slot 1 of the present embodiment, during the normal state, a game is played aiming at the ART state. As shown in FIG. 22 (A), the transition from the normal state to the ART state, the transition from the normal state to the chance zone, the transition from the chance zone to the ART state, and the direct transition from the normal state to the ART state. There are two routes.

  Note that the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment has two chance zones (PCZ1, PCZ2, and CZ in detail) as the chance zones. Therefore, there are a plurality of routes through the chance zone: a route that shifts from the normal state to the ART state via the PCZ, and a route that shifts from the normal state to the ART state via the CZ.

  During the normal state, as shown in FIG. 22 (B), the main control circuit 91 performs a transition lottery to determine whether or not to shift to the precursor state of the chance zone or the ART state. The gaming state is transferred to the winning gaming state via. The sign state that shifts to the chance zone or the ART state when the sign ends is referred to as a “real sign”, and the sign that the game state is maintained in the normal state without shifting to the chance zone or the ART state even if the sign ends. The state is called “Gasse precursor”.

  With regard to such a lottery transition to the precursor state, in the conventional pachislot machine, only a plurality of main precursors for each type of gaming state to be transferred after the end of the precursor and one gasse precursor are determined. For example, when the PCZ, CZ, and ART states are used as the game state of the transfer destination as in the pachislot 1 of the present embodiment, in the conventional pachislot machine, the sign of the PCZ that moves to the PCZ after the sign ends, and the sign Only the main sign of CZ that shifts to CZ after the end, the main sign of ART state that shifts to the ART state after the end of the predictor, and the prelude to the gas are determined.

  On the other hand, in the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control circuit 91 also determines a gasse sign for each gaming state with respect to the gasse sign. That is, as shown in FIG. 22B, during the normal state, the main control circuit 91 detects the transition destination from the GASE PCZ precursor, GASE CZ precursor, GASE ART precursor, PCZ precursor, CZ precursor, and ART precursor. Determine the state. As a result, when the GASE PCZ precursor, the GASE CZ precursor, or the GASE ART precursor is determined, the main control circuit 91 maintains the gaming state in the normal state even when the precursor ends, and the PCZ precursor is determined. The main control circuit 91 shifts the gaming state to PCZ after completion of the precursor, and when the CZ precursor is determined, the main control circuit 91 shifts the gaming state to CZ after the completion of the precursor, and the ART precursor If determined, the main control circuit 91 shifts the gaming state to the ART state after the end of the warning.

  Here, since the precursor state is usually used to produce an effect that gives the expectation to the game after the end of the precursor, when only the precursor is determined like a conventional pachislot machine, the main side It is not possible to determine the tendency of the production performed. On the other hand, in the case of determining even the type of the gasse precursor, as in the pachislot 1 of the present embodiment, the main (main control circuit 91) side can determine the tendency of the effect performed during the gasse precursor.

  Specifically, in Pachislot 1, the Gase PCZ precursor and the PCZ precursor perform an effect that suggests that there is a possibility of transition to the PCZ when the precursor ends, and the Gase CZ precursor and CZ precursor An effect suggesting transition to CZ is performed, and an effect suggesting transition to the ART state after completion of the sign is performed for the GASE ART precursor and the ART precursor. In other words, the sub-control circuit 101 can perform an effect that describes the type of gaming state determined on the main side during the precursor state.

  In a conventional pachislot machine, the sub-side control can produce an effect of transitioning to some gaming state during the harbinger, but the relation between the effect and the main-side decision (ie, the decision regarding the play) The performance is low and the production becomes monotonous. On the other hand, as in the pachislot 1 of the present embodiment, by determining the tendency of the effect to be performed during the harsh sign on the main side, the effect and the determination on the main side can be associated with each other, as shown in FIG. As will be described later in E), various effects can be controlled without causing the player to feel inconsistencies.

  As described above, during the normal state, the lottery for the precursor state is performed, and when the winning type of the precursor is over, the game state is shifted to the corresponding game state. Here, as shown in FIG. 22B, in the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control circuit 91 makes a transition to the precursor state, triggered by the internal winning combination and the cycle.

  The transition to the precursor state triggered by the internal winning combination is a lottery performed every game based on the internal winning combination (more specifically, the lottery group) and the internal mode (low accuracy, normal, high accuracy, ultra high accuracy). This is done. As will be described later in FIG. 25, the precursor state of the transition destination when triggered by the internal winning combination is determined each time according to the internal winning combination.

  Moreover, the transition to the precursor state triggered by the cycle is performed according to the cycle rank described later when the cycle is reached. As will be described later with reference to FIG. 29, the precursor state of the transition destination when the period is triggered is determined according to the period rank when the period is reached. Since the cycle rank is set in advance during the cycle, in the pachislot machine 1, the sub-control circuit 101 can perform an effect suggesting the type of precursor after reaching the cycle even in the game during the cycle.

  Here, in the pachi-slot 1 of the present embodiment, the cycle is managed based on the number of times that the CB is established, and the main control circuit 91 determines that the game of one cycle is completed when the CB is determined five times as an internal winning combination. to decide. The sub-control circuit 101 displays a counter that counts the number of times CB is established on the liquid crystal display device 11, and notifies the player of the arrival of the cycle. At this time, for example, the sub-control circuit 101 can perform an effect suggesting the type of the precursor after reaching the cycle in the game during the cycle by changing the display of the counter according to the cycle rank. Of course, not only the display mode of the counter but also an effect performed on the liquid crystal display device 11 may be used to provide an effect that suggests the type of sign after the period is reached.

  Note that the cycle management method is not limited to the number of times that the CB is determined as an internal winning combination, and may be based on the number of times a game is played, and may manage one cycle of game period. One period of game period may be managed based on the number of times that a specific combination wins instead of the number of times that the combination is determined as an internal winning combination, or other one way, the one period of game period may be managed It is good.

  As shown in FIG. 23 (C), when the transition lottery results in the precursor state, the main control circuit 91 performs the rewriting lottery from the gasse precursor to the present precursor based on the internal winning combination determined during the precursor state. Do. As a result of the rewriting lottery, if it is decided to rewrite the precursor, it will be rewritten from the gauze precursor to the main precursor, and then, when the precursor ends, the game state according to the type of the precursor is transferred. On the other hand, as a result of the rewriting lottery, if it is decided not to rewrite the warning sign, the warning sign is maintained, and then the game state is maintained in the normal state even after the warning sign is over.

  Here, when rewriting from the gaseous precursor to the present precursor, as shown in FIG. 23D, the main control circuit 91 performs rewriting from the gaseous precursor to the present precursor according to the type of the precursor before rewriting. . Specifically, when rewriting the precursor state during the GASE PCZ precursor, the main control circuit 91 rewrites the GASE PCZ precursor to the main precursor (PCZ precursor, CZ precursor, or ART precursor) equal to or higher than PCZ. Also, when rewriting the precursor state during the gasse CZ precursor, the main control circuit 91 rewrites the gasse CZ precursor to the main precursor CZ or higher (CZ precursor or ART precursor) and does not rewrite the PCZ precursor. Similarly, when rewriting the precursor state during the GASE ART precursor, the main control circuit 91 rewrites the GASE ART precursor into the main precursor (ART precursor) equal to or higher than the ART state, and does not rewrite the PCZ precursor or CZ precursor.

  As described above, in the pachislot machine 1 of this embodiment, not only the type of the precursor but also the type of the precursor of the gas is determined on the main side, so it can be rewritten to the precursor of the type that was in the precursor of the gas. And the relationship between the determination on the main side can be designed as appropriate. Here, FIG. 23 (E) shows a control in the case where the main side does not determine the type of the harsh sign as in a conventional pachislot machine as a comparative example.

  As shown in FIG. 23 (E), even if the type of the gaseous precursor is not determined as in the case of a conventional pachislot machine, rewriting from the gaseous precursor to the present precursor can be performed, but the present precursor after the rewriting is performed. It is not possible to have a connection with the sign of Gase before rewriting. In other words, in the case of a conventional pachislot machine, the type of gasse precursor is not determined, so the production to be performed during the gase precursor is arbitrarily decided on the sub side, and the type of this precursor that is rewritten from the gase precursor is directly related to the appearance Therefore, it will be decided on the main side. Normally, in pachislot machines, communication control between the main side and the sub side is limited, so it is possible to produce effects on the sub side based on information determined on the main side, but effects on the sub side Based on this, the main side cannot make a decision related to the game.

  Therefore, unlike the conventional pachislot machine, when the main side decides the production to be performed during the gaze precursor without deciding the type of the gaze precursor, there is no way for the main side to grasp the production in the precursor It is not possible to rewrite the sign of the type that was struck by the production. As a result, with a conventional pachislot machine, for example, even if an effect was given to pretend to be in the ART state during the gaze omen, if the gaze omen was rewritten to the CZ omen on the main side, then the CZ Will be granted.

  As far as players are concerned, they will not feel dissatisfied as long as benefits that are advantageous to the players are granted due to rewriting, but they may feel dissatisfied if benefits that are disadvantageous than the assumed benefits are granted. is there. For this reason, if CZ is given after a warning of the ART state like a conventional pachislot machine, there is a contradiction between the production and the privilege to be given, which causes the player to feel dissatisfied.

  On the other hand, when the type of the gaseous precursor is also determined on the main side as in the pachislot 1 of the present embodiment, the book of the type (or more advantageous for the player) that was in the gaseous precursor It can be rewritten as a precursor, and various production controls can be performed without causing the player to feel contradictions.

[Various lottery tables used during normal conditions]
Next, various lottery tables used for various lotteries performed during a normal state will be described with reference to FIGS. These lottery tables are stored in the main ROM 94.

(Normal internal mode transition lottery table)
FIG. 24 is a normal-time internal mode transition lottery table used for the internal mode transition lottery used as a parameter in the event of an award transition triggered by an internal winning combination in the normal state. FIG. FIG. 24B is a normal internal mode transition lottery table used when the mode is low accuracy, and FIG. 24B is a normal internal mode transition random determination table used when the current internal mode is normal. C) is a normal internal mode transition lottery table used when the current internal mode is highly accurate. FIG. 24D is a normal internal mode used when the current internal mode is extremely accurate. It is a transfer lottery table.

  The normal time internal mode transfer lottery table defines lottery value information regarding the internal mode of the transfer destination for each current internal mode and internal winning combination (lottery group A). When the main control circuit 91 determines the internal mode of the transfer destination by referring to the normal internal mode transfer lottery table, the main control circuit 91 sets the determined internal mode.

  Here, the internal mode is one of the parameters used for the precursory transition triggered by the internal winning combination, and it is unlikely that the transition to the precursory state is normal and the precursory state is high. The accuracy is low and higher than normal, and the ultra high accuracy is most likely to shift to the precursor state. As shown in FIG. 24, in the pachislot machine 1 of this embodiment, the internal mode does not fall until it is promoted with high accuracy. The internal mode falls with a predetermined probability at the time of high accuracy or ultra high accuracy, but in a predetermined number of games (for example, 10 games) after being promoted to high accuracy or ultra high accuracy, It is good also as a mode not falling.

(Normal warning sign lottery table)
FIG. 25 is a normal sign transition lottery table used for a lottery transition to a precursor state triggered by an internal winning combination in the normal state. FIG. 25A is a normal one used when the internal mode is low probability. FIG. 25B is a normal sign transfer lottery table used when the internal mode is normal, and FIG. 25C is used when the internal mode is highly accurate. FIG. 25D is a normal time sign transfer lottery table used when the internal mode is ultra-high accuracy.

  The normal sign transition lottery table defines lottery value information regarding the precursor state of the transition destination for each internal mode and internal winning combination (lottery group A). When the main control circuit 91 determines the precursor state of the transition destination with reference to the normal-time precursor transition lottery table, it sets the determined precursor state. In addition, when the main control circuit 91 determines the GASE PCZ precursor or the PCZ precursor as the precursor state of the transition destination, the PCZ type (PCZ1 or PCZ2) is referred to with reference to the PCZ type lottery table shown in FIG. decide. In addition, when the main control circuit 91 determines the GASE CZ precursor or the CZ precursor as the precursor state of the transition destination, it refers to the CZ mode lottery table shown in FIG. Determine the mode.

(Sign game number lottery table)
FIG. 26 is a precursor game number lottery table for determining the period of precursor state (number of precursor games) to be transferred. The precursor game number lottery table defines lottery value information regarding the number of precursor games for each type of precursor state of the transfer destination. When the main control circuit 91 determines the number of precursor games with reference to the precursor game number lottery table, the main control circuit 91 sets the number of precursor games as the transition destination precursor state period determined with reference to the normal-time precursor transition lottery table. .

(Signing lottery table for early warnings)
FIG. 27 is a warning sign rewriting lottery table used for the warning sign rewriting lottery performed during the warning sign state that has been shifted by the internal winning combination, and FIG. 27A is a warning sign used when the internal mode is inaccurate. 27B is a medium rewriting lottery table, FIG. 27B is a precursor medium rewriting lottery table used when the internal mode is normal, and FIG. 27C is a precursor medium used when the internal mode is highly accurate. FIG. 27D shows a rewritten lottery table used when the internal mode is ultra-high accuracy.

  The sign-rewriting lottery table defines lottery value information regarding the lottery result indicating whether or not to rewrite the precursor state for each internal mode and internal winning combination (lottery group A). When the main control circuit 91 wins the rewriting lottery using the precursor rewriting lottery table during the warning sign, the main control circuit 91 rewrites the warning sign into the previous warning while maintaining the type of the warning state. That is, the main control circuit 91 rewrites the precursor state to the PCZ precursor when it hits the rewrite lottery during the GASE PCZ precursor, rewrites the precursor state to the CZ precursor when it hits the renewal lottery during the GASE CZ precursor, and rewrites during the GAST ART precursor When the lottery is won, the precursor state is rewritten to the ART precursor.

  In addition, when the main control circuit 91 wins a rewriting lottery using the precursor rewriting lottery table during this precursor, one main privilege (stock) according to the type of the precursor state is given. That is, if the main control circuit 91 wins the rewriting lottery during the PCZ precursor, it gives one more PCZ stock, and if it wins the renewal lottery during the CZ precursor, it gives one more CZ stock, and during the ART precursor When the rewriting lottery is won, one more stock in the ART state is given (a total of two are given together with the previous trillions before the rewriting lottery).

(Traffic advance sign lottery table)
FIG. 28 is a cycle arrival sign transition lottery table used for lottery transition to the precursor state triggered by the arrival of the cycle. The cycle arrival sign transition lottery table is provided for each cycle rank, and defines lottery value information regarding the transition destination precursor state. As can be seen by referring to the cycle arrival sign transition lottery table, in the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment, any precursor state is always determined in the transition lottery to the precursor state triggered by the arrival of the cycle.

  When one cycle of the game ends (when CB is won five times), the main control circuit 91 refers to the cycle arrival precursory transition lottery table and determines the precursor state of the transition destination corresponding to the cycle rank. At this time, when the main control circuit 91 determines the PCG precursor or PCZ precursor as the precursor state of the transition destination, the PCZ type (PCZ1 or PCZ2) is referred to with reference to the PCZ type lottery table shown in FIG. To decide. In addition, when the main control circuit 91 determines the gaze CZ precursor or the CZ precursor as the precursor state of the transition destination, the main control circuit 91 determines the CZ mode with reference to a CZ mode lottery table shown in FIG. 33 described later.

  In addition, in the cycle reaching sign precursory lottery table shown in FIG. 28, in the transition lottery to the precursory state triggered by the arrival of the cycle, the precursory state corresponding to the cycle rank is determined one-to-one. The present invention is not limited, and one precursor state among a plurality of precursor states may be determined with a probability corresponding to the cycle rank.

(Cyclic rank lottery table)
FIG. 29 is a cycle rank lottery table for lottery of cycle ranks to be referred to in the lottery for transition to the precursor state triggered by the arrival of the cycle. When the main control circuit 91 performs lottery transition to the precursor state triggered by the arrival of the cycle, the main control circuit 91 refers to the cycle rank lottery table and determines the cycle rank used in the next cycle. As shown in FIG. 29, the cycle rank lottery table is provided for each cycle. Here, in the pachi-slot 1, the range of the number of cycles is set to 0-3. For example, when the current cycle number is the first time, the next cycle number is the second time, the next cycle number is the third time, and the next cycle number is returned to the zeroth time.

  The cycle rank lottery table defines lottery value information for the cycle rank used in the next cycle for each cycle count. When one cycle of the game is over (when CB is won five times), the main control circuit 91 refers to the cycle rank lottery table and determines the cycle rank used for the next cycle. The determined cycle rank is notified to the sub-control circuit 101, and the sub-control circuit 101 performs an effect according to the cycle rank during the cycle.

(Number of game signs lottery table when the period is reached)
FIG. 30 is a cycle arrival time precursor game number lottery table for determining the period of the precursor state (number of precursor games) that shifts with the arrival of the cycle. The sign game number lottery table at the time of arrival of the cycle defines lottery value information related to the number of precursor games for each type of precursor state of the transition destination. When the main control circuit 91 determines the number of precursor games by referring to the cycle arrival precursory game number lottery table, the precursor game is determined as the transition destination precursor state period determined with reference to the cycle arrival precursory lottery table. Set the number.

(Renewal lottery table during the cycle sign)
FIG. 31 is a cycle warning sign rewriting lottery table used for the warning sign rewriting lottery performed during the warning sign state that has shifted to when the period is reached. The cycle warning sign rewriting lottery table defines lottery value information regarding the lottery result indicating whether or not to rewrite the precursor state for each internal winning combination (lottery group A).

  When the main control circuit 91 wins the rewriting lottery using the cycle warning sign rewriting lottery table during the warning sign, the main control circuit 91 rewrites the warning sign to the previous warning sign while maintaining the type of the warning sign. That is, the main control circuit 91 rewrites the precursor state to the PCZ precursor when it hits the rewrite lottery during the GASE PCZ precursor, rewrites the precursor state to the CZ precursor when it hits the renewal lottery during the GASE CZ precursor, and rewrites during the GAST ART precursor When the lottery is won, the precursor state is rewritten to the ART precursor.

  Further, when the main control circuit 91 wins the rewriting lottery using the cycle warning sign rewriting lottery table during this sign, one main benefit (stock) according to the type of the sign state is given. That is, if the main control circuit 91 wins the rewriting lottery during the PCZ precursor, it gives one more PCZ stock, and if it wins the renewal lottery during the CZ precursor, it gives one more CZ stock, and during the ART precursor When the rewriting lottery is won, one more stock in the ART state is given (a total of two are given together with the previous trillions before the rewriting lottery).

(PCZ type lottery table)
FIG. 32 is a PCZ type lottery table that is referred to when the gaze PCZ precursor or the PCZ precursor is determined in the transition to the precursor state. The PCZ type lottery table defines lottery value information for the type of PCZ. The pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment has PCZ1 and PCZ2 having different expectations for the ART state as PCZ types. The main control circuit 91 determines the type of PCZ when the gasset PCZ precursor or the PCZ precursor is determined, and upon receiving this determination, the sub-control circuit 101 gives a transition to the type of PCZ determined during the precursor state. Produce. Further, when the PCZ precursor (this precursor) is determined, the main control circuit 91 gives the determined type of PCZ stock.

(CZ mode lottery table)
FIG. 33 is a CZ mode lottery table that is referred to when the GASE CZ precursor or CZ precursor is determined in the transition to the precursor state. The CZ mode lottery table defines lottery value information for the CZ mode. The CZ mode is information that defines the degree of expectation for the ART state in the CZ. The degree of expectation for the ART state is the lowest in the CZ mode A, the next lowest in the CZ mode B, and the next in the CZ mode C. CZ mode D is the highest. The main control circuit 91 determines the CZ mode when the gaze CZ precursor or the CZ precursor is determined, and the sub control circuit 101 receives the determination, and the sub-control circuit 101 provides the effect of encouraging the transition to the CZ after the end of the precursor. Produce the degree of expectation of.

[Game flow in PCZ]
Next, with reference to FIG. 34, the flow of games in the PCZ will be described. As described above, the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment has PCZ1 and PCZ2 as PCZs, but PCZ1 and PCZ2 have the same game playability although they have different expectations for the ART state.

  PCZ (PCZ1 and PCZ2) is a gaming state that lasts for 14 games. Basically, it continues until the number of games reaches 0, and lottery results are drawn by ART lottery of the final game. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 34, during the PCZ, points are acquired based on the internal winning combination, and ART lottery is performed according to the finally acquired points. As will be described later, when the acquired points reach 100 points, the ART lottery is always won.

  PCZ1 and PCZ2 differ in the ease of acquiring points, and PCZ2 is more likely to acquire points than PCZ1. Therefore, in the pachislot 1, when PCZ2 reaches 100 points (ART confirmed) before 14 games have elapsed, it ends even in the middle and shifts to the ART state. On the other hand, even if PCZ2 reaches 100 points, it continues until the number of games becomes zero. In addition, when exceeding 100 points, the grant for the fixed amount accompanying 100 points and the grant by the ART lottery based on the points exceeding 100 points will be performed.

  For example, when the acquired points are 80 points, only ART lottery corresponding to 80 points is performed. Also, for example, if the acquired points are 180 points, one ART stock is given along with 100 points, and an ART stock is given according to the ART lottery corresponding to the excess 80 points. (Maximum two).

  As a result of the ART lottery according to the acquired points, when the ART state stock is given, the gaming state shifts to the ART state, and when the ART state stock is not given, the gaming state shifts to the normal state. When a bonus is won during PCZ, the main control circuit 91 gives one ART stock as described above, and performs ART lottery according to the point at that time.

[Various lottery tables used during PCZ]
Next, various lottery tables used for various lotteries performed during the PCZ will be described with reference to FIGS. These lottery tables are stored in the main ROM 94.

(PCZ addition point lottery table)
FIG. 35 and FIG. 36 are PCZ addition point lottery tables for lottering points to be added to the current earned points. 36, when the internal winning combination is the abbreviations “push order bell”, “push order lip 1”, “push order lip 2”, “replay 1”, and “replay 3” shown in FIG. 35 is a lottery table that is referred to when the other combination is an internal winning combination. 35 (A) and 36 (A) are PCZ addition point lottery tables referred to in PCZ1, and FIGS. 35 (B) and 36 (B) are PCZ referred to in PCZ2. It is a medium addition point lottery table.

  The PCZ addition point lottery table defines lottery value information for points to be added for each internal winning combination (lottery group A). The main control circuit 91 refers to the PCZ addition point lottery table during PCZ, adds points, and performs ART lottery based on the final points.

(ART lottery table in PCZ)
FIG. 37 is an ART lottery table in the PCZ that is referred to during ART lottery according to the points acquired during the PCZ, and FIG. 37A is an ART lottery in the PCZ that is referred to during ART lottery of the PCZ1. FIG. 37 (B) is an ART lottery table in the PCZ that is referred to during the ART lottery of PCZ2.

  The ART lottery table during PCZ defines lottery value information regarding the lottery result of the ART lottery for each point acquired during the PCZ. In the ART lottery table during PCZ, lottery value information when the acquired points are 100 points is omitted, but when the acquired points are 100 points, the ART lottery is always won as described above. In the final game of PCZ, the main control circuit 91 refers to the ART lottery table during PCZ and performs ART lottery according to the points acquired during PCZ. As a result of the lottery, if the player wins, one ART stock is given and the gaming state shifts to the ART state. On the other hand, if the lottery is not won, the gaming state shifts to the normal state.

[Game flow in CZ]
Next, with reference to FIG. 38 and FIG. 39, the flow of games in CZ will be described. During CZ, an effect is played in which the ally character and the enemy character battle (battle). If the ally character wins, the ART win is confirmed, and if the ally character is defeated, the ART becomes non-win. Transition to state (CZ ends). As shown in FIG. 38 (A), the CZ is composed of a non-battle section and a battle section. During the non-battle section of the CZ, a battle transition lottery is performed and the battle results (win, defeat, continuation, battle transition). None (Battle transition non-winning)) is determined. In the pachi-slot 1 of this embodiment, the defeat is not determined for 15 games from the start of CZ, but the defeat is determined with a predetermined probability after 15 games have elapsed, so CZ continues for 15 games + α To do. Note that the number of games that have passed during CZ is managed by the number of CZ games (15 games are set as initial values at the start), and every time a game is played, the number of CZ games is decremented by 1 and the number of CZ games becomes 0. Thereafter, the defeat is determined in the battle transfer lottery. When a bonus is won during CZ, the main control circuit 91 gives one ART stock as described above.

  As shown in FIG. 38 (A), when victory, defeat, or continuation is determined in the battle transition lottery in the non-battle section, the non-battle section transitions to the battle section. The battle section continues for several games, and an effect in which a teammate character and an enemy character battle each other is performed. For example, when the victory is determined in the battle transition lottery, the sub-control circuit 101 performs the effect that the teammate character ultimately wins. When the defeat is determined in the battle transition lottery, the sub-control circuit 101 finally determines that the teammate character is When the defeat effect is performed and the continuation is determined in the battle transition lottery, the effect that suggests victory or defeat of the teammate character is performed, but the effect that cannot be won or lost is performed in this battle.

  Also, during CZ, the gaming state is controlled according to the result of the battle transfer lottery. Specifically, when the victory is determined in the battle transition lottery, the main control circuit 91 shifts the gaming state from the CZ to the ART state after the battle section ends. At this time, the main control circuit 91 performs an extra chance lottery in the final game of the winning battle section. If the winning chance lottery is won, the main control circuit 91 performs an extra chance before shifting to the ART state, and then enters the ART state. Transition state. The extra chance is a game that completes one game in which, in addition to the provision of the stock in the ART state, a further privilege is given to the player, the contents will be described later with reference to FIG. 39 (G).

  In addition, when the defeat is determined in the battle transition lottery, the main control circuit 91 shifts the gaming state from CZ to the normal state after the end of the battle section, and when the continuation is determined in the battle transition lottery. Shifts to the non-battle section after the end of the battle section (the game state is maintained during CZ). Further, in the battle transition lottery, non-winning that does not shift to the battle section may be determined, and in this case, the main control circuit 91 maintains the non-battle section (the game state in the CZ) Remain).

  As shown in FIG. 38 (B), in the pachislot 1 of the present embodiment, the transition route from the non-battle section to the battle section is triggered by an internal winning combination (lottery group A) and a bell winning. There are two ways to route. The transition to the battle section triggered by the internal winning combination is made when the internal winning combination is determined (that is, at the start of the game), and the transition to the battle section triggered by the Bell winning combination is performed at the time of winning determination (that is, After the third stop operation).

  Here, as shown in FIG. 18, in the pachislot machine 1 of this embodiment, when the push order bell ("F_push order bell 1A" to "F_push order bell 6B") is won, the push order is correct. If the bell ("C_TL bell", "C_XU bell", "C_XD bell", "C_small V bell") wins and the pressing order is incorrect, the bell will not win. The transition to the battle section triggered by the Bell winning is not that the push order bell was determined as an internal winning combination, but that the Bell won, that is, “C_TL Bell” “C_XU Bell” “ This is performed on condition that a combination of symbols “C_XD bell” and “C_small V bell” is displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 18, the combination of the symbols “C_TL Bell”, “C_XU Bell”, “C_XD Bell”, and “C_Small V Bell” is pressed when “F_Common Bell A” and “F_Common Bell B” are won. Displayed along the active line in the push order (6 choices) at the time of winning the order bell. Here, in the pachislot machine 1 of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 20, when the push order bell is determined as an internal winning combination during CZ, the correct push order or a part thereof is notified. Specifically, the main control circuit 91 notifies a part of the correct pressing order (type of reel to be stopped in the first stop operation) for 15 games from the start of CZ, and 15 games from the start of CZ. After elapses, all of the correct answer push order is notified.

  According to the notification from the player, the 15-game selection from the start of the CZ will result in a correct push-forward answer with 2 choices at the time of the push-order bell, and after 15 games have passed since the start of the CZ, Be sure to press the correct answer. Therefore, in the pachi-slot 1, it is possible to perform control so as not to depend only on the player's selection while interposing the player's selection. In addition, as described above, for 15 games from the start of CZ, defeat is not determined in the battle transition lottery, and there is a possibility that defeat is determined after 15 games have elapsed. In the period that does not end, the battle transition lottery is performed with two choices at the time of pushing order bell winning, and in the period in which CZ may end, the battle transition lottery is performed in accordance with the pushing order bell winning.

  Returning to FIG. 38 (B), the battle transfer lottery triggered by the internal winning combination is a so-called rare combination (“0 (strong rare group)” “1 (watermelon group)” “2 (weak rare group)” of lottery group A. ) At the time of winning, and at the time of winning the disparity (“4 (losing group) of lottery group A”). In the battle transition lottery at the time of rare role winning, the defeat is not determined regardless of the number of CZ games, and in the battle transition lottery at the time of winning the win, the defeat is determined if there are CZ games. If there is no CZ game number, defeat may be determined.

  In addition, the battle transfer lottery triggered by the Bell prize will not be defeated regardless of the number of CZ games in the same way as the battle transition lottery at the time of the rare role, but the battle transition will be triggered by the Bell prize. The lottery is performed with reference to the battle mode, unlike the battle transfer lottery at the time of the rare role winning. The battle mode is information that defines the probability that a victory will be determined in the battle transition lottery. The higher the battle mode, the higher the probability that a victory will be determined.

  This battle mode is promoted with a predetermined probability when continuation is determined in a battle transfer lottery triggered by a Bell prize. Therefore, if the player can correctly answer in the pushing order when pushing the pushing order bell, the player can not only receive a battle transition lottery (without defeat), but can also increase the expectation of winning as the battle mode is promoted.

  Subsequently, FIG. 38C is a diagram showing a flow of games in the battle section. Since the battle section continues for several games, the main control circuit 91 performs a victory rewriting process for rewriting the battle of the transition destination to victory based on the internal winning combination (lottery group A) during this battle section. Specifically, when the rare role is won during the battle section triggered by the defeat or continuation being determined in the battle transition lottery, the main control circuit 91 rewrites the defeat or continuation to victory with a predetermined probability. As a result, when the defeat or continuation is rewritten to victory, the main control circuit 91 shifts the gaming state from the CZ to the ART state or an extra chance after the end of the battle section, and maintains the defeat without rewriting. When the main control circuit 91 shifts the gaming state from CZ to the normal state after the end of the battle section and keeps the game state without rewriting, the main control circuit 91 determines that the non-battle section after the end of the battle section. To migrate.

<Outline of production during CZ>
Subsequently, an outline of effects during CZ will be described with reference to FIG. As described above, during CZ, an effect (battle effect) in which an ally character and an enemy character battle each other is performed, and the victory or defeat of the battle effect is determined according to the success or failure of the ART win. In the pachi-slot 1, a teammate character is selected from the four characters A to D to fight against the enemy character during CZ, and a battle effect is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 39 (D), these four characters have different degrees of expectation to win (ART winning) in the battle performance, character A has the lowest degree of expectation of victory, and character B has the degree of expectation of victory next. , Character C has the next lowest expected victory rate, and character D has the highest expected victory rate. Note that the selection of the character is performed based on the CZ mode (see FIG. 31) determined at the time of transition to the GASE CZ precursor or CZ precursor. When the CZ mode A is selected, the character A is selected and the CZ mode B is selected. Character B is selected, and if it is CZ mode C, character C is selected, and if it is CZ mode D, character D is selected.

  From the viewpoint of the player, the CZ success expectation can be estimated from the type of the ally character in the CZ. In FIG. 39D, the internal CZ mode and the teammate character in the production are made to correspond one-to-one, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the sub-control circuit 101 responds to the CZ mode. It is good also as deciding an ally character with a probability.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 39E, during the battle effect, the effect is controlled based on the result of the battle transition lottery. Specifically, when the victory is determined in the battle transition lottery, the sub control circuit 101 performs an effect in which the ally character attacks the enemy character during the battle section, and finally defeats the enemy character, and the battle transition is performed. When a defeat is determined in the lottery, the enemy character attacks the ally character during the battle section, and finally the ally character falls down. When the non-winning is determined in the battle transition lottery, the battle effect is displayed. Not performed. In addition, when the continuation is determined in the battle transition lottery, the sub-control circuit 101 cannot defeat the enemy character, for example, an attack that wins or loses during the battle period, for example, a teammate character attacks the enemy character. Although the performance and the enemy character attack the teammate character, the teammate character performs the performance to withstand the attack.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 39F, the attack pattern when the teammate character attacks the enemy character is controlled based on the battle mode. Specifically, when performing an effect of attacking an enemy character when the battle mode is 0, the sub-control circuit 101 performs an effect in which the friendly character issues a weak attack, and attacks the enemy character when the battle mode is 1. When an effect is performed, the teammate character performs a medium attack, and when the battle mode is 2, the teammate character performs a strong attack, and the battle mode is 3. When performing an effect of attacking an enemy character sometimes, an effect is shown in which the teammate character unfolds the mystery.

  As described above, the higher the battle mode, the higher the probability that victory will be determined in the battle transition lottery. Therefore, the player expects that the teammate character will win based on the type of attack that the teammate character has played. Can have. In FIG. 39 (F), the internal battle mode and the type of attack in the production are made to correspond one-to-one. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the sub-control circuit 101 responds to the battle mode. It is also possible to determine the type of attack that the teammate character will take out with a certain probability.

<Overview of additional opportunities>
Subsequently, an outline of the extra chance will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 38A, when a teammate character wins an enemy character during CZ, in addition to the privilege of winning ART, a privilege of extra chance may be given. In this extra chance, a privilege according to the chance type determined by the extra lottery (described later with reference to FIG. 45) is given to the player. FIG. 39B shows the chance type and the content of the privilege to be granted. For example, when the additional chance 3 is determined as the chance type, the main control circuit 91 gives 30 guaranteed games in the ART state to be described later to the player.

  The result of the extra lottery is notified by a game (an extra chance) that completes one game. Specifically, the sub-control circuit 101 displays four benefits including a privilege corresponding to the determined chance type, and then rotates these four privileges and finally corresponds to the determined chance type. Is displayed to notify the player of the result of the extra lottery. At this time, the sub-control circuit 101 informs the expectation level of the upper privilege by the four privilege display arrangement patterns, the rotation pattern, the background color, and the like. For example, when an upper privilege (such as an extra chance 10) is determined, the sub-control circuit 101 performs an extra chance effect with a higher probability than when a lower privilege is determined.

[Various lottery tables used during CZ]
Next, various lottery tables used for various lotteries performed during CZ will be described with reference to FIGS. 40 to 45. These lottery tables are stored in the main ROM 94.

(Battle transfer lottery table A during CZ)
FIG. 40 is a battle transition lottery table A during CZ used for the battle transition lottery triggered by the above internal winning combination, and FIG. 40A shows a case where the number of CZ games is 0 (that is, from the start of CZ). CZ battle transition lottery table A referred to after 15 games have passed), and FIG. 40B is referenced when the number of CZ games is greater than 0 (that is, between 15 games from the start of CZ). It is a battle transition lottery table A during CZ.

  The CZ battle transfer lottery table A defines lottery value information regarding the lottery result of the battle transfer lottery for each presence / absence of the CZ game and for each internal winning combination (lottery group A). The main control circuit 91 performs a battle transition lottery using the battle transition lottery table A during CZ at the start of each game in the CZ, and when a game other than non-winning is determined in this lottery, the next game is shifted to the battle section.

(Battle transfer lottery table B during CZ)
FIG. 41 is a CZ medium battle transfer lottery table B used for the battle transfer lottery triggered by the above-mentioned bell winning. The CZ battle transition lottery table B is referred to when a bell is won, and for each current battle mode, information on lottery values regarding the lottery result of the battle transition lottery is defined. When the main control circuit 91 wins a bell during CZ (that is, when a combination of symbols of “C_TL bell”, “C_XU bell”, “C_XD bell”, “C_small V bell” is displayed along the active line) When a battle transfer lottery is performed using the CZ battle transfer lottery table B and a game other than non-winning is determined in the lottery, the next game is transferred to the battle section.

(Battle game number lottery table during CZ)
FIG. 42 is a CZ battle game number random determination table for determining the length of the battle section. The CZ battle game number lottery table defines lottery value information about the length of the battle section (the number of battle games) for each result (continuation, defeat or victory) of the battle transition lottery. When continuation, defeat, or victory is determined as a result of the battle transition lottery, the main control circuit 91 refers to the CZ battle game number lottery table and determines the number of battle games indicating the length of the battle section.

(Battle mode promotion lottery table during CZ)
FIG. 43 is a CZ medium battle mode promotion lottery table used for the above-described battle mode promotion lottery. The CZ battle mode promotion lottery table defines lottery value information regarding the lottery result of the promotion lottery for each CZ mode. When the continuation is determined in the battle transition lottery triggered by the Bell prize, the main control circuit 91 refers to the battle mode promotion lottery table during CZ and performs the battle mode promotion lottery. Promote one.

(Victory rewriting lottery table during CZ)
FIG. 44 is a CZ victory rewrite lottery table used for rewriting the battle result based on the internal winning combination (lottery group A) determined during the battle section. The winning rewrite lottery table during CZ defines lottery value information about the lottery result of the rewrite lottery for each internal winning combination (lottery group A). The main control circuit 91 performs the rewriting lottery with reference to the victory rewriting lottery table during CZ during the battle section, and when the rewriting lottery is won during the continuing or defeating battle section, the result of the battle is rewritten to win, In addition, when the rewriting lottery is won during the winning battle section, one more stock in the ART state is given.

(Additional lottery table for CZ battle wins)
FIG. 45 is an extra lottery table at the time of battle in CZ used for extra lottery to determine whether or not to play an extra chance game when winning a battle in CZ. The extra lottery table at the time of battle victory during CZ prescribes lottery value information on the lottery result of extra lottery for each CZ mode. The main control circuit 91 adds lottery to the final game in the winning battle section, and when a chance other than the addition chance 0 is determined, the main control circuit 91 grants a corresponding privilege and the sub control circuit 101 performs the next one game. An effect of the above-mentioned extra chance to notify the privilege to be given is performed.

[Outline of games in ART state]
Next, the flow of games during the ART state will be described. As shown in FIG. 46 (A), in the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the ART state is composed of a normal ART, a special ART, an extra zone, and a pull back zone. The normal ART and the special ART are battle-type ART states in which an effect that a teammate character and an enemy character battle (battle) is performed.

  During normal ART, battles from the first round to the fourth round are performed, and when the fourth round battle is won, the game shifts to a special ART. During the special ART, a battle with an effect different from that of the normal ART is performed, the special ART continues as long as the victory is achieved, and a transition is made to the extra zone as part of the victory. If you lose a battle during a normal or special ART, you will move to the pullback zone. During the retraction zone, a retraction lottery is performed, and if a retraction lottery is won, the normal zone or special ART that was staying before moving to the retraction zone will be transferred, and the retraction zone will remain without winning the retraction lottery. When the game is finished, the gaming state shifts from the ART state to the normal state.

[Flow of games during normal ART]
Next, with reference to FIG. 46 and FIG. 47, the flow of games during normal ART will be described. In the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the normal ART is a battle-type ART state, but the normal ART is a two-part ART in which two types of battles are performed, a first person battle and a second person battle. As shown in FIG. 46B, the normal ART is composed of an opening, a first person battle, a second person battle, a pull back zone, an interval, and a digest.

When the game state shifts from the normal state or the chance zone to the ART state, first, the state shifts to the normal ART opening. As shown in FIG. 46 (C), the opening is a state in which 20 games are stayed, and the main control circuit 91 performs lottery for the transition to the digest and the number of guaranteed games during the opening. The number of guaranteed games in the ART state is the same as the number of CZ games in the CZ. If there is a guaranteed game number, the defeat is not determined, and if the guaranteed game number is lost, the defeat is determined. is there.
When 20 games have elapsed during the opening, the game proceeds to the first battle, and when the winning lottery for the digest during the opening, the game proceeds to the digest.

The first battle is a state in which the player stays for 7 games, and the main control circuit 91 performs the winning battle of the first battle in the first game, and adds the guaranteed number of games in the second to seventh games. Do. Note that when the winning lottery of the first battle is won, the number of guaranteed games is increased and the right to avoid defeat only once is granted in the second battle (the guarantee flag is turned on).
When 7 games have elapsed during the first battle, the game proceeds to the second battle. That is, in the pachislot 1, it always shifts to the second person battle regardless of the result of the first person battle.

In the second person battle, almost the same processing as CZ is performed. Specifically, the main control circuit 91 performs a battle transfer lottery during the second person battle, and controls the game according to the result (win, defeat, continuation) of the battle transfer lottery. At this time, since the second battle is in the ART state, unlike the CZ, the battle transfer lottery triggered by the bell winning is not performed, and only the battle shift lottery triggered by the internal winning combination is performed.
If you win the second battle until the third round, you will move to the interval, and if you win the second battle in the fourth round, you will move to the special ART. In addition, when defeated in the second person battle, it shifts to the withdrawal zone.

The pullback zone is a state that lasts for 10 games + α, and the main control circuit 91 performs a lottery for pulling back to the normal ART. Further, the main control circuit 91 also performs continuous lottery of the return zone when 10 games have elapsed since the start of the return zone. When a lottery for pulling back to a normal ART is won, it is treated in the same way as the victory of the second battle, and the battle stage during the normal ART proceeds (for example, proceeding from the first round to the second round). Therefore, for example, in the pull-back zone after defeating the second battle of the fourth round, if you win the pull-back lottery, you will win the second battle of the fourth round and move to the special ART.
If you win the pullback lottery during the pullback zone, if the second battle before the pullback zone is the second battle up to the third round, then move to the interval and if it is the second battle in the fourth round, Then, it shifts to special ART. Further, if the player draws a continuous lottery in the pullback zone without winning the pullback lottery in the pullback zone, the ART state is terminated and the normal state is entered.

  The interval is a state of staying for 5 games, and the main control circuit 91 performs lottery transfer to the digest. When 5 games have elapsed during the interval, the next stage of the first battle is entered. For example, when 5 games have elapsed during the transition period after winning the second battle in the first round, the transition to the first battle in the second round is made. In addition, if a lottery for the transition to the digest is won during the interval, the process proceeds to the digest.

  The digest is in a state of staying for 10 games, and the main control circuit 91 adds lots of guaranteed games and performs lottery. When 10 games elapse during the digest, the process proceeds to an interval. The transition to the digest is handled in the same way as the victory of the second person battle, and the battle stage during the normal ART progresses. For example, if you transition to the digest from the interval that transitioned after winning the second battle of the first round, it will be treated the same as winning the second battle of the second round, and the interval after 10 games will be the second battle of the second round Interval after winning. If you win the second battle in the fourth round, you will move to the special ART without going to the interval, so the transition lottery to the digest during the interval will be during the interval after the second battle win in the first round, During the interval after the second battle wins in the second round, not during the interval after the second battle victory in the third round.

<Game flow during the second battle>
Next, the flow of games during the second person battle will be described. During the second battle, an effect is produced in which the teammate character and the enemy character battle each other (battle). As shown in FIG. 47C, when the teammate character wins, the ART state continues, and during normal ART The next stage of the battle progresses, the transition from normal ART to special ART, or an extra chance is performed. On the other hand, in the battle in the second person battle, when the teammate character is defeated, the player moves to the pullback zone.

  The second person battle consists of a non-battle section and a battle section. During the non-battle section, the battle transition lottery is performed, and the result of the second battle (win, defeat, continue, no battle transition (battle transition non-winning)) It is determined. During the second battle, as long as the number of guaranteed games remains, the defeat is not determined, and the loss is determined with a predetermined probability after the number of guaranteed games is exhausted.

  As shown in FIG. 47D, in the second person battle, the non-battle section shifts to the battle section by battle shift lottery based on the internal winning combination (lottery group A). This battle transfer lottery is performed at the time of winning of the outlier (“4 (losing group) of lottery group A”), and other roles (“0 (strong rare group)”, “1 (watermelon group)”, “2” of lottery group A) (Weak rare group) "" 3 (Bell group) ") In the battle transfer lottery with a role other than out of play, no defeat will be decided regardless of the number of stocks in the ART state and the number of guaranteed games. In the battle transition lottery at the time of winning, the defeat may be determined only when there is no stock in the ART state and the number of guaranteed games.

  Note that, during the battle section of the second person battle, the main control circuit 91 performs a victory rewrite process for rewriting the battle at the transfer destination into a victory as in the CZ. Specifically, when the rare role is won during the battle section triggered by the defeat or continuation being determined in the battle transition lottery, the main control circuit 91 rewrites the defeat or continuation to victory with a predetermined probability. When defeat or continuation is rewritten as victory, it is handled in the same manner as when a victory is decided in the battle transition lottery, and the battle stage in the normal ART progresses.

  In addition, during the second battle, an effect that the teammate character and the enemy character battle each other is performed based on the result of the battle transfer lottery. For example, when the victory is determined in the battle transition lottery, the sub control circuit 101 performs an effect in which the teammate character eventually wins and the battle stage proceeds to the next battle, and the defeat is determined in the battle transition lottery. If it is, the effect that the teammate character eventually loses is performed. Further, when the continuation is determined in the battle transition lottery, the sub control circuit 101 produces an effect of scolding the victory or defeat of the teammate character, for example, the teammate character attacks the enemy character, and the battle stage proceeds to the next game. Produce that there is a possibility.

  As described above, the flow of the game of the second person battle is basically the same as the flow of the game in the CZ, but during the second person battle, the number of times (the number of times of continuation) is determined to be continued in the battle transition lottery. It differs from the game in CZ in that a ceiling is provided. That is, as shown in FIG. 47 (E), when the continuation is determined in the battle transition lottery during the second person battle, the main control circuit 91 adds 1 to the number of continuations, and when this number of continuations reaches the ceiling number. , Rewrite the continuation decided at that time to victory. Here, when the continuation is decided in the battle transition lottery, since the effect of scolding the victory of the teammate character is performed, if the player continues to beat the victory by providing a ceiling to the number of times of continuation, Since the possibility of actually winning will increase, it can prevent the interest of the game from decreasing.

[Description of main control circuit operation]
Next, the contents of various processes executed by the main CPU 93 of the main control circuit 91 using a program will be described with reference to FIGS.

<Main operation processing of pachislot by control of main CPU>
First, a procedure of main operation processing (processing after power-on) of the pachislot 1 performed under the control of the main CPU 93 will be described with reference to a flowchart shown in FIG. 75 (hereinafter referred to as main flow).

  First, when power is turned on to the pachi-slot 1, the main CPU 93 performs initialization processing at the time of power-on (S1). In this process, it is determined whether the backup has been normally performed or the setting has been appropriately changed, and initialization corresponding to the determination result is performed.

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 performs an initialization process at the end of one game (S2). In this initialization process, the data in the designated storage area in the main RAM 95 is cleared. Note that the designated storage area here is a storage area that needs to be erased for each unit game (game), such as an internal winning combination storage area or a display combination storage area.

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 performs medal acceptance / start check processing (S3). In this process, the medal sensor and the input of the start switch 79 are checked.

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 performs an internal lottery process (S4). In this process, the main CPU 93 refers to the internal lottery table corresponding to the current gaming state, and lotteries a combination determined as an internal winning combination from a plurality of combinations. When determining the internal winning combination, the main CPU 93 also determines the lottery group A and the lottery group B corresponding to the internal winning combination.

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the combination (“F_BB”) related to the bonus is determined as the internal winning combination (S5). When the winning combination is determined as the internal winning combination (YES), the main CPU 93 performs a BB winning control process described later with reference to FIG. 76 (S6).

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 performs a navigation control process (S7). In this process, the main CPU 93 performs a predetermined stop operation mode (for example, for the player) based on the internal winning combination determined in S4 and the current gaming state in accordance with the navigation contents for each gaming state shown in FIG. Press order).

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 performs a control process for each start state described later with reference to FIG. 77 (S8). Subsequently, the main CPU 93 performs a start command generation process (S9). In this process, the main CPU 93 generates start command data to be transmitted to the sub control circuit 101 and stores the command data in a communication data storage area provided in the main RAM 95. The command stored in the communication data storage area is transmitted from the main control circuit 91 to the sub control circuit 101 by a command data transmission process in an interrupt process described later with reference to FIG. The start command data includes various types of information such as an internal winning combination, information on the main navigation, and gaming state.

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 performs a reel stop initial setting process which will be described later with reference to FIG. 97 (S10). In this process, reel stop control information used for stop control is determined according to the internal winning combination determined in S4. The determined reel stop control information is stored in the main RAM 95 and used in the reel stop control process of S12.

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 performs a reel rotation start process after performing a wait process (S11). In this process, the main CPU 93 requests the start of rotation of all reels. When the start of rotation of all reels is requested, each reel is accelerated and controlled until the rotation speed reaches a constant speed by an interrupt process executed at a constant cycle (1.1172 msec). It is controlled so that a constant speed is maintained.

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 performs a reel stop control process described later with reference to FIG. 98 (S12). In this process, using the reel stop control information determined in S10, the rotation of the corresponding reel is stopped based on the timing when the left stop button 19L, the middle stop button 19C, and the right stop button 19R are pressed. The

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 performs a winning determination medal payout process (S13). In this winning determination medal payout process, as a result of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R being stopped, based on the combination of symbols displayed along the active line, depending on the combination of symbols such as medal payout and re-game operation. Give a profit. In this process, the main CPU 93 generates data of a winning operation command and stores the command data in a communication data storage area provided in the main RAM 95. The winning action command data includes various types of information such as combinations of symbols displayed along the active line.

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 performs an end state control process described later with reference to FIG. 99 (S14). In this process, the main CPU 93 performs control according to the gaming state according to the combination of symbols displayed along the activated line.

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 performs a bonus end check process (S15). In this process, the main CPU 93 ends the bonus state according to the number of medals paid out during the bonus state, and shifts the gaming state to the corresponding gaming state. Subsequently, the main CPU 93 performs a bonus operation check process (S16). In this process, the main CPU 93 activates a bonus according to the combination of symbols displayed along the active line.

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 performs an RT operation check process (S17). In this process, the main CPU 93 shifts the RT gaming state according to the combination of symbols displayed along the active line. At this time, for example, when the RT state transitions to the RT3 state during ART preparation, the main CPU 93 corresponds to the state corresponding to the ART state for the next game (for example, the game state before transitioning to ART preparation is the normal state). Is set to the normal ART opening). When the RT operation check process is performed, the main CPU 93 returns the process to S2 assuming that one game (unit game) is completed.

<Control process for winning BB>
Next, with reference to FIG. 76, the BB winning control process will be described. In the BB winning time control process, first, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the current gaming state is the normal state or the chance zone (S31).

  When the current gaming state is the normal state or in the chance zone (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently performs BB type lottery with reference to the BB type lottery table shown in FIG. 74 (A) (S32). . Subsequently, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the BB type lottery has been won (S33), and if it has won (YES), the super BB is set as the type of BB and the stock in the ART state is stored. One is assigned (S34). On the other hand, when the BB type lottery is not won (NO), it is determined whether or not the current gaming state is in the normal state (S35).

  If the current gaming state is the normal state (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently determines whether “F_Cherry D” or “All Wins C” has been determined as the internal winning combination (S36). ). If it is not at the time of winning “F_Cherry D” or “all winning C” (NO), the main CPU 93 subsequently refers to the BB winning ART lottery table of FIG. 74 (B) and wins at BB. The ART lottery is performed (S37), and it is determined whether or not the ART lottery is won (S38).

  When the ART lottery at the time of winning the BB is won (YES), or when “F_Cherry D” or “all winning C” is won in S36 (YES), the main CPU 93 One ART state stock is assigned (S39).

  Following the process of S39, if the ART lottery at the time of BB winning is not won in S38 (NO), if not in the normal state in S35 (NO), following the process of S34, or in the normal state or in S31 If it is not in the chance zone (NO), the main CPU 93 subsequently performs another BB winning process (S40), and ends the BB winning control process. The other BB winning process refers to, for example, each process described above when explaining the game flow in each game state.

<Control processing for each start state>
Next, with reference to FIG. 77, the control process according to the start state will be described. In the start state control process, first, the main CPU 93 updates the number of various games (S51). For example, when the number of guaranteed games remains during normal ART, the main CPU 93, for example, subtracts 1 from the number of guaranteed games, so that the number of various games corresponding to the current gaming state is increased at the start of this game. 1 is subtracted.

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the gaming state is a normal state (S52). When the gaming state is in the normal state (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently performs a normal processing at the start described later in FIG. 78 (S53).

  On the other hand, when the gaming state is not in the normal state (NO), the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the gaming state is in the PCZ (S54). When the gaming state is in the PCZ (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently performs a start-time PCZ process which will be described later with reference to FIG. 79 (S55).

  On the other hand, when the gaming state is not in the PCZ (NO), the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the gaming state is in the CZ (S56). If the gaming state is CZ (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently performs a start-time CZ process which will be described later with reference to FIG. 80 (S57).

  On the other hand, if the gaming state is not CZ (NO), the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the gaming state is normal ART (S58). Here, the normal ART in S58 means any state of the opening, the first person battle, the second person battle, the pull-back zone, the interval, or the digest during the normal ART. When the gaming state is normal ART (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently performs a normal start ART process described later with reference to FIG. 81 (S59).

  On the other hand, when the gaming state is not in the normal ART (NO), the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the gaming state is in the special ART (S60). Here, during the special ART in S60 includes in addition zones 1 to 3 in addition to the opening during the special ART, the battle during the special ART, the pull back zone and the interval. If the gaming state is in a special ART (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently performs a start special ART process which will be described later with reference to FIG. 89 (S61).

  On the other hand, when the gaming state is not in the special ART (NO), the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the gaming state is in the bonus state (S62). When the gaming state is in the bonus state (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently performs a start bonus process which will be described later with reference to FIG. 96 (S63).

  Following the processing of S53, S55, S57, S58, S61, S63, or when the gaming state is not in the bonus state in S62 (NO), the main CPU 93 subsequently performs other processing (S64). Then, the control process according to the state at the start is finished. For example, when the main CPU 93 wins an extra chance in the extra lottery, the main CPU 93 performs an extra chance game for completion of one game, and sets a predetermined game state in the next game.

<Normal processing during start>
Next, with reference to FIG. 78, the normal processing during start will be described. In the normal processing at the start, first, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not various precursors are being performed (S71). If it is in the precursor (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently performs a precursor rewriting lottery (S72). In this process, for example, during the precursor state in which the transition is triggered by the internal winning combination, the main CPU 93 performs the precursor rewrite lottery with reference to the precursor rewrite lottery table shown in FIG. During the precursor state, rewriting lottery in the precursor state is performed with reference to the periodic precursor rewriting lottery table shown in FIG.

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 rewrites the precursor state type according to the lottery result (S73). Subsequently, the main CPU 93 sets the game state of the next game according to the number of precursor games and the type of precursor state (S74), and ends the normal processing at the start. For example, when the number of precursor games is 0 and the type of the precursor state is the precursor of the GASE PCZ, the main CPU 93 sets the non-predictor in the normal state as the game state of the next game, and the number of precursor games is If it is 0 and the type of precursor state is ART precursor, ART ready is set as the game state of the next game. Further, when the number of precursor games is greater than zero, the main CPU 93 maintains the current gaming state (in various precursors during the normal state).

  On the other hand, if it is not a precursor in S71 (NO), the main CPU 93 subsequently determines whether or not it is a CB winning time (S75). If it is time to win a CB (YES), the main CPU 93 then adds 1 to the number of CBs (S76), and whether or not one cycle of the game has ended (that is, the number of CBs has reached 5). Or not) is determined (S77). When the period is not reached (NO), the main CPU 93 ends the normal processing at the start, while when the period is reached (YES), the main CPU 93 continues to the next game according to the current cycle rank. The precursor state is set (S78). Specifically, the main CPU 93 determines the precursor state according to the cycle rank with reference to the cycle arrival time sign transition lottery table shown in FIG. 28, and sets it in the next game.

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 draws and sets the number of precursor games by referring to the cycle arrival time precursor game number random determination table shown in FIG. 30 and sets the precursor state when the type of the precursor state is a GASE PCZ precursor or PCZ precursor. Refers to the PCZ type lottery table shown in FIG. 32, and lots and sets the type of PCZ. If the type of the precursor state is Gase CZ precursor or CZ precursor, the CZ mode shown in FIG. The lottery table is referenced and the CZ mode is lottery and set (S79). Subsequently, the main CPU 93 refers to the cycle rank lottery table shown in FIG. 29, and draws and sets the cycle rank of the next cycle (S80), and ends the normal processing at the start.

  On the other hand, if it is not the CB winning time in S75 (NO), referring to the normal sign transition lottery table shown in FIG. 25, the sign transition lottery is performed according to the internal winning combination (lottery group A) and the internal mode. (S81), it is determined whether or not any of the precursor states has been won (S82). If any of the precursor states is won (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently sets the type of precursor state that won the next game (S83).

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 draws and sets the number of precursor games with reference to the precursor game number lottery table shown in FIG. 26, and when the type of the precursor state is GASE PCZ precursor or PCZ precursor, The PCZ type lottery table shown in FIG. 32 is selected, and the PCZ type is set, and when the type of the precursor state is the gasse CZ precursor or the CZ precursor, the CZ mode lottery table shown in FIG. The CZ mode is lottery by referring to and set (S84). Subsequent to the processing of S84, or when the sign state is not won in S82 (NO), the main CPU 93 subsequently refers to the normal internal mode transition lottery table shown in FIG. Transfer lottery is performed, the lottery internal mode is set (S85), and the normal processing at the start ends.

<Processing during PCZ at the start>
Subsequently, with reference to FIG. 79, the process during start PCZ will be described. In the process during start PCZ, first, the main CPU 93 performs a point addition lottery during PCZ with reference to the PCZ addition point lottery table shown in FIG. 35 or 36 (S91). Subsequently, the main CPU 93 updates points according to the lottery result (S92).

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the type of PCZ is PCZ2 and the point has reached 100 points (S93). When the number of points reaches 100 points during PCZ2 (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently assigns one ART state stock (S94), sets the next game state (S95), and starts. The processing during PCZ is terminated. In the process of S95, when the current RT state is the RT3 state, the main CPU 93 sets the normal ART opening as the game state of the next game, and the current RT state is other than the RT3 state. Sets ART ready as the game state of the next game.

  On the other hand, if the type of PCZ is not PCZ2 or the number of points has not reached 100 points in S93 (NO), the main CPU 93 subsequently determines whether or not it is the final game of PCZ ( S96). If it is not the final PCZ game (NO), the main CPU 93 terminates the PCZ process at the start, while if it is the final PCZ game (YES), the main CPU 93 continues with FIG. The ART lottery table in the PCZ shown in FIG. 5 is referred to, and ART lottery is performed according to the point (S97), and it is determined whether or not the ART lottery is won (S98).

  When the ART lottery is won (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently grants one ART stock (S99), sets the game state of the next game (S100), and is in PCZ at start End the process. At this time, when the current RT state is the RT3 state, the main CPU 93 sets the opening of the normal ART as the game state of the next game, and when the current RT state is other than the RT3 state, the main game 93 As the gaming state, set ART ready.

  If the ART lottery has not been won (NO), the main CPU 93 subsequently sets the game state of the next game (S100), and the start-time PCZ processing is terminated. In this case, the main CPU 93 sets the normal state as the game state of the next game.

<Processing during CZ at start-up>
Subsequently, with reference to FIG. 80, the process during start CZ will be described. In the start-time CZ process, first, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not it is a non-battle section in the CZ (S111). When it is a non-battle section (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently refers to the CZ in-game battle transition lottery table and performs a lottery transition to the battle section triggered by the internal winning combination ( S112), it is determined whether or not the transfer lottery has been won (S113). When the lottery for shifting to the battle section is not won (NO), the main CPU 93 ends the CZ process at the start.

  On the other hand, when the winning lottery for the battle section is won (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently draws the number of battle games with reference to the CZ battle game number lottery table shown in FIG. (S114). Subsequently, the main CPU 93 sets a battle zone in CZ for the next game (S115), and ends the CZ processing at the start.

  Further, when it is not a non-battle section in S111 (NO), since it is in the battle section in CZ, the main CPU 93 subsequently refers to the CZ victory rewrite lottery table shown in FIG. (S116), it is determined whether or not the winning rewriting lottery is won (S117). If the winning rewrite lottery has not been won (NO), the main CPU 93 ends the processing during CZ at the start, while if the winning rewrite lottery has been won (YES), the main CPU 93 continues to A winning rewrite process is performed (S118). In this process, the main CPU 93 rewrites it as a victory when continuation or defeat is determined in the battle transition lottery, and grants one ART state stock when a victory is determined.

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the final game in the battle section (that is, the number of battle games is 0) (S119). If it is not the final game in the battle section (NO), the main CPU 93 ends the processing during the CZ at the start, while if it is the final game in the battle section (YES), the main CPU 93 continues to It is determined whether or not it is a winning battle section (S120).

  If it is a winning battle section (YES), the main CPU 93 then performs an extra lottery with reference to the extra lottery table during the CZ battle victory in FIG. 45 (S121), and the next game The gaming state is set (S122), and the process during CZ at the start ends. At this time, the main CPU 93 sets an extra chance as the game state of the next game when the extra chance is determined to be other than 0 in the extra lottery, and when the extra chance 0 is determined, the current RT state is set. When it is in the RT3 state, the normal ART opening is set as the game state of the next game, and when the current RT state is other than the RT3 state, ART ready is set as the game state of the next game.

  On the other hand, when it is not a winning battle section (NO), the main CPU 93 subsequently determines whether or not it is a continuing battle section (S123). When it is a continuous battle section (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently sets a non-battle section in the CZ for the next game (S124), and ends the CZ processing at the start.

  On the other hand, if it is not a continuous battle section (NO), since it is the final game of the defeated battle section, the main CPU 93 subsequently sets the normal state to the next game (S125) and performs the processing during CZ at the start Exit.

<Normal ART processing during start>
Next, with reference to FIG. 81, processing during normal ART at start will be described. In the normal ART processing at the start, first, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not it is opening (S131). When the opening is in progress (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently performs the normal ART opening process described later with reference to FIG. 82 (S132), and ends the normal ART process at the start.

  On the other hand, when the opening is not in progress (NO), the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the first battle is in progress (S133). If it is during the first battle (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently performs a first ART battle process during normal ART, which will be described later with reference to FIG. 83 (S134), and ends the normal ART process during start.

  On the other hand, when it is not during the first person battle (NO), the main CPU 93 determines whether or not it is during the second person battle (S135). If it is during the second person battle (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently performs the second person battle process during normal ART, which will be described later with reference to FIGS. 84 and 85 (S136), and ends the normal ART process during start. .

  On the other hand, when it is not in the second person battle (NO), the main CPU 93 determines whether or not it is in the pullback zone (S137). If it is in the pull-back zone (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently performs a normal ART pull-back zone process described later with reference to FIG. 86 (S138), and ends the normal ART process at the start.

  On the other hand, if it is not in the pullback zone (NO), the main CPU 93 determines whether or not it is in the interval (S139). If it is during the interval (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently performs the normal ART interval processing described later with reference to FIG. 87 (S140), and ends the normal ART processing at the start.

  On the other hand, when not in the interval (NO), the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the digest is in progress (S141).

If the digest is in progress (YES), the main CPU 93 continues the digest in the normal ART described later with reference to FIG. The process is performed (S142), and the normal ART processing at the start is terminated.

<Normal ART opening process>
Next, the normal ART opening process will be described with reference to FIG. In the normal ART opening process, first, the main CPU 93 refers to the normal ART guaranteed game number lottery table shown in FIG. 49A and performs lottery addition on the guaranteed game number (S151). Subsequently, the main CPU 93 updates the number of guaranteed games according to the lottery result (S152).

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 performs a lottery transfer to the digest with reference to the digest transfer lottery table during normal ART shown in FIG. 48 (S153), and determines whether or not the transfer lottery has been won (S154). If the lottery for the transition to the digest is won (YES), the main CPU 93 then advances the battle stage during the normal ART (S155) and sets the normal ART digest in the next game (S156). Normally, the opening process during ART ends.

  On the other hand, if the lottery for the transition to the digest is not won (NO), the main CPU 93 subsequently determines whether or not it is the final game of the digest (S157). If it is not the final game of the digest (NO), the main CPU 93 ends the opening process during the normal ART, whereas if it is the final game of the digest (YES), the main CPU 93 continues to the next game. The first battle of the first round is set to (S158), and the opening process during the normal ART is terminated.

<First-person battle process during normal ART>
Next, the first-person battle process during normal ART will be described with reference to FIG. In the first-art battle process during the normal ART, first, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not it is the first game of the first-person battle (S171).

  If it is the first game of the first battle (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently refers to the normal ART continuous ceiling number lottery table shown in FIG. 51 and lots and sets the number of continuous ceilings. (S172). Subsequently, the main CPU 93 performs a first-person battle victory lottery with reference to the first-person battle victory lottery table shown in FIG. 50 (S173), and determines whether or not it has been won (S174). If the winning lottery of the first battle is not won (NO), the main CPU 93 ends the first battle process during the normal ART.

  On the other hand, when the winning lottery of the first battle is won (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently updates the guarantee flag for avoiding the defeat of the second battle (S175). Subsequently, the main CPU 93 performs a lottery by adding the number of guaranteed games at the time of winning the first battle with reference to the guaranteed game number lottery table during normal ART in FIG. 49B (S176), and guarantees according to the lottery result. The number of games is updated (S177), and the first-person battle process during normal ART is terminated.

  If it is not the first game of the first battle in S171 (NO), the main CPU 93 then adds the guaranteed game number with reference to the normal ART guaranteed game number lottery table in FIG. While performing lottery (S178), the number of guaranteed games is updated according to the lottery result (S179). Subsequently, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not it is the final game of the first battle (S180). When it is not the final game of the first battle (NO), the main CPU 93 ends the first battle process during the normal ART, while when it is the final game of the first battle (YES), the main CPU 93 In the next game, the second person battle is set (S181), and the first person battle process is terminated during the normal ART.

<Second person battle process during normal ART>
Next, the second person battle process during normal ART will be described with reference to FIGS. In the second person battle process during the normal ART, first, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not it is a non-battle section of the second person battle (S191). If it is a non-battle section (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently refers to the normal ART battle transition lottery table shown in FIG. 52 and performs a lottery transition to the battle section (S192). It is determined whether or not the player has won (S193). When the winning lottery for the battle section is not won (NO), the main CPU 93 ends the second person battle process during the normal ART.

  On the other hand, when the winning lottery for the battle section is won (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently determines whether or not the continuous battle is won (S194). If the continuation battle is won (YES), the main CPU 93 adds 1 to the number of continuations (S195), and then determines whether or not the number of continuations has reached the ceiling number (S196). When the continuation count reaches the ceiling count (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently rewrites the continuation to victory (S197).

  Following S197, when the number of continuations has not reached the number of ceilings at S196 (NO), or when the continuation battle has not been won at S194 (NO), the main CPU 93 continues to The number of battle games is determined with reference to the normal ART battle game number determination table 53 shown in FIG. 53 (S198). Subsequently, the main CPU 93 sets the battle section in the second person battle in the next game (S199), and ends the second person battle process in the normal ART.

  Further, when it is not a non-battle section in S191 (NO), since it is in the battle section, the main CPU 93 subsequently performs a winning rewriting lottery with reference to the normal ART winning rewriting lottery table shown in FIG. (S200), it is determined whether or not the winning rewriting lottery is won (S201). If the winning rewrite lottery has not been won (NO), the main CPU 93 shifts the processing to S211 in FIG. 85 described later, whereas if the winning rewrite lottery has been won (YES), the main CPU 93 continues. Then, victory rewrite processing is performed (S202). In this process, the main CPU 93 rewrites it as a victory when continuation or defeat is determined in the battle transition lottery, and grants one ART state stock when a victory is determined.

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the final game in the battle section (that is, the number of battle games is 0) (S203). When it is not the final game of the battle section (NO), the main CPU 93 ends the second person battle process during the normal ART, while when it is the final game of the battle section (YES), the main CPU 93 continues. Then, the process proceeds to S211 in FIG.

  Subsequently, in S211 of FIG. 85, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not it is a winning battle section. If it is a winning battle section (YES), the main CPU 93 proceeds with the battle stage in the normal ART (for example, progresses from the first round to the second round) (S212). At this time, the main CPU 93 clears the number of continuations during the second person battle. Subsequently, the main CPU 93 performs lottery addition on the number of guaranteed games with reference to the guaranteed game number lottery table during normal ART in FIG. 49B (S213), and updates the number of guaranteed games according to the lottery result (S213). S214).

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 refers to the extra lottery table at the time of the second battle victory in FIG. 57 and performs extra lottery (S215), and sets the game state of the next game (S216). At this time, the main CPU 93 sets an extra chance as the gaming state of the next game if an extra chance is determined in the extra lottery, and if the extra chance is zero, the main CPU 93 When is less than the third round, the interval is set as the game state of the next game, and when the current battle stage is the fourth round, the special ART is set as the game state of the next game.

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 determines whether there is an ART state stock (S217). When there is no ART state stock (NO), the second person battle process is terminated during the normal ART, while when there is an ART state stock (YES), the main CPU 93 continues the ART state stock. 1 is subtracted (S218), and the second person battle process during normal ART is terminated.

  On the other hand, when it is not a winning battle section (NO), the main CPU 93 subsequently determines whether or not it is a continuing battle section (S219). When it is a continuous battle section (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently sets the non-battle section of the second person battle in the next game (S220), and ends the second person battle process during the normal ART.

  On the other hand, if it is not a continuous battle section (NO), since it is the final game of the defeated battle section, the main CPU 93 subsequently determines whether or not the guarantee flag is on (S221). When the guarantee flag is on, the non-battle section of the second person battle is set in the next game (S222), the guarantee flag is updated to off (S223), and the second person battle process during normal ART is terminated. On the other hand, when the guarantee flag is OFF (NO), the main CPU 93 sets a pullback zone for the next game (S224), and ends the second person battle process during the normal ART. At this time, the main CPU 93 clears the number of continuations during the second person battle and sets 10 games as the number of games in the pullback zone.

The opening is set (S394), and the special ART interval process is terminated.

<Additional zone processing>
Next, with reference to FIG. 95, the process during the extra zone will be described. In the extra zone processing, first, the main CPU 93 determines whether it is in the extra zone 1 or the extra zone 2 (S401). If it is in the extra zone 1 or the extra zone 2 (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently performs an extra lottery for the guaranteed number of games by referring to the extra zone guaranteed game number lottery table in FIG. 71 (S402). ), The number of guaranteed games is updated according to the lottery result (S403).

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 performs continuous lottery for the additional zone 1 or the additional zone 2 with reference to the additional zone continuation lottery table in FIG. 72 (S404), and determines whether or not non-continuation is determined (S405). When the non-continuation is not determined (NO), the process during the extra zone is terminated, while when the non-continuation is determined (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently sets the opening to the next game. (S406), and the process during the extra zone is terminated.

  If it is not in the extra zone 1 or the extra zone 2 in S401 (NO), since it is in the extra zone 3, the main CPU 93 subsequently refers to the ART stock lottery table in the extra zone in FIG. The stock lottery in the ART state is performed (S407), and the number of stocks in the ART state is updated according to the lottery result (S408).

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not 30 games have elapsed in the extra zone 3 (S409). When 30 games have not elapsed (NO), the additional zone is terminated, while when 30 games have elapsed (YES), the main CPU 93 sets an opening for the next game (S410) and is in the additional zone The process ends.

<Bonus processing at start>
Next, the start bonus process will be described with reference to FIG. In the start bonus medium process, first, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the stock in the ART state is 0 (S411). If the stock in the ART state is 0 (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently performs the stock lottery in the ART state with reference to the ART lottery table in BB of FIG. 74C (S412), and lottery. Depending on the result, the number of stocks in the ART state is updated (S413), and the start bonus process is terminated.

  On the other hand, if the stock in the ART state is not 0 (NO), the main CPU 93 subsequently refers to the guaranteed game number lottery table during BB in FIGS. 74 (D) and 74 (E) and adds the guaranteed game number. (S414), the number of guaranteed games is updated according to the lottery result (S415), and the start bonus process is terminated.

<Reel stop initial setting process>
Next, the reel stop initial setting process will be described with reference to FIG. In the reel stop initial setting process, first, the main CPU 93 refers to a rotating drum stop initial setting table (not shown) and acquires a rotating drum stop number based on an internal winning combination or the like (S431). Subsequently, the main CPU 93 refers to the spinning cylinder stop initial setting table and acquires each piece of information based on the spinning cylinder stop number (S432). In this process, the main CPU 93 acquires various types of information associated with the number for stopping the spinning, such as determination data for each pressing order.

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 stores the rotating identifier in the symbol code storage area (not shown) (S433). That is, the main CPU 93 sets the bits of all symbol code storage areas (excluding unused areas) to “1”. Subsequently, the main CPU 93 stores 3 in the stop button non-operation counter (S434) and ends the reel stop initial setting process. The stop button non-operating counter is used to determine the number of stop buttons 19L, 19C, 19R that have not been stopped by the player, and is stored in a predetermined area of the main RAM 95.

<Reel stop control process>
Subsequently, the reel stop control process will be described with reference to FIG. In the reel stop control process, first, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not a valid stop button has been pressed (S451). This process is a process for determining whether or not a signal is output from the stop switch substrate 80. When the main CPU 93 determines that a valid stop button has not been pressed (NO), the main CPU 93 repeatedly executes the process of step S451.

  On the other hand, if the main CPU 93 determines that a valid stop button has been pressed (YES), the main CPU 93 selects a pressing order storage area (not shown) and an operation stop button storage area (see FIG. 5) according to the pressed stop button. (Not shown) is updated (S452). That is, the main CPU 93 manages the type of the pressed stop button by updating the operation stop button storage area, and updates the pressing order storage area based on the type and order of the pressed stop button. The order of the stop operation (push order) is managed.

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 subtracts 1 from the stop button non-operation counter (S453), determines a search target reel from the operation stop button (S454), and stores the stop start position in the main RAM 95 based on the symbol counter (S454). S455). The stop start position is a symbol position corresponding to the symbol counter of the reel when the stop operation is detected by the stop switch substrate 80.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes a sliding piece number determination process (S456). In this sliding piece number determination process, the number of sliding pieces defined at the stop start position is determined based on the reel stop control information (stop table group) selected based on the internal winning combination from the turning stop initial setting table. It is processing.

  Next, the main CPU 93 generates reel stop command data to be transmitted from the main control circuit 91 to the sub control circuit 101, and stores the generated reel stop command data in a communication data storage area assigned to the main RAM 95. Generation processing is executed (S457). The reel stop command data represents the type of reel to be stopped, the stop start position, the number of sliding pieces (or the planned stop position), and the like.

  Next, the main CPU 93 determines a planned stop position based on the stop start position and the sliding piece number determination data, and stores it in the main RAM 95 (S458). The scheduled stop position is a symbol position obtained by adding any of predetermined numerical values “0” to “4” defined as the number of sliding pieces to the stop start position, and the symbol position where the reel rotation stops. It is.

  Next, the main CPU 93 sets the scheduled stop position as a search symbol position (S459). Next, the main CPU 93 executes symbol code storage processing (S460). In the symbol code storage process, a symbol code of the symbol position data for checking for checking the symbol position of the rotating reel is acquired.

  Next, the main CPU 93 updates the symbol code storage area from the symbol code acquired in the symbol code storage process (S461). Next, the main CPU 93 performs control change processing (S462). In this control change process, the stop information group used to stop the reel is updated when the control stop process is in a specific stop position.

  Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the pressed stop button has been released (S463). This process is a process for determining whether or not a signal is no longer output from the stop switch substrate 80.

  When determining that the pressed stop button has not been released (NO), the main CPU 93 repeatedly executes the process of step S463. On the other hand, when determining that the pressed stop button has been released (YES), the main CPU 93 subsequently determines whether or not the stop button non-operation counter is 0 (S464). Here, when it is determined that the stop button non-operating counter is not 0 (NO), the main CPU 93 executes the pull-in priority storage process (S465), and executes the process of step S41. In this drawing priority order storing process, the drawing priority order of all symbols on the rotating reels 3L, 3C, 3R is determined. On the other hand, when it is determined that the stop button non-operation counter is 0 (YES), the main CPU 93 ends the reel stop control process.

<End-state control process>
Next, with reference to FIG. 99, the end-state control process will be described. In the end state control process, first, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not it is in the non-battle section of CZ (S471). If it is not in the non-battle section (NO), the end state control process is terminated, while if it is in the non-battle section (YES), does the main CPU 93 continue to win a bell? It is determined whether or not (S472).

  When it is not a bell winning (NO), the control process according to the state at the end is finished, while when a bell winning is (YES), the main CPU 93 continues to display the CZ battle transition lottery table B of FIG. With reference to this, a battle transfer lottery triggered by a bell winning is performed (S473), and it is determined whether or not the transfer lottery is won (S474).

  When the battle transition lottery is not won (NO), the end state control process is terminated, while when the battle transition lottery is won (YES), the main CPU 93 continues to perform FIG. The number of battle games is determined with reference to the CZ battle game number determination table and set (S475). Subsequently, the main CPU 93 sets the CZ battle section in the next game (S476).

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not continuation is won in the battle transition lottery (S477). When the continuation is not won (NO), the control process according to the state at the end is finished, whereas when the continuation is won (NO), the main CPU 93 continues the battle mode during CZ in FIG. The battle mode promotion lottery is performed with reference to the promotion lottery table (S478), the battle mode is updated according to the lottery result (S479), and the end state control process is terminated.

<Interrupt processing under main CPU control>
Next, with reference to FIG. 100, an interrupt process under the control of the main CPU 93 will be described. First, the main CPU 93 saves the register (S511). Next, the main CPU 93 performs an input port check process (S512). In this process, signals input from various switches such as a stop switch are checked.

  Next, the main CPU 93 performs timer update processing (S513). In this process, the main CPU 93 performs a process of subtracting a predetermined timer value for each interrupt process, for example. Next, the main CPU 93 performs communication data transmission processing (S514). In this process, the main CPU 93 transmits various commands stored in the communication data storage area of the main RAM 95 to the sub control circuit 101.

  Next, the main CPU 93 performs a reel control process (S515). In this process, the main CPU 93 starts the rotation of the left reel 3L, the middle reel 3C, and the right reel 3R when the start of rotation of all reels is requested, and thereafter, each reel rotates at a constant speed. Three stepping motors are driven and controlled. When the number of sliding symbols is determined, the main CPU 93 updates the symbol counter of the corresponding reel by the number of sliding symbols. Then, the main CPU 93 waits until the updated symbol counter matches the value corresponding to the planned stop position, and drives and controls the corresponding stepping motor so that the rotation of the corresponding reel is decelerated and stopped. .

  Next, the main CPU 93 performs a lamp and 7-segment driving process (S516). In this process, the main CPU 93 drives and controls the information display 14 to display the number of payouts and the number of credits. Next, the main CPU 93 performs a register restoration process (S517). After that, the main CPU 93 ends the interrupt process.

[Another example 1 of CZ]
Although the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment has been described above, the game characteristics peculiar to the pachislot machine 1 are not limited to those described above. For example, in the above description, if the battle is won during CZ, the state is shifted to the ART state. However, during CZ, if the battle is won, the game will continue to the next game, until the battle is defeated, or a predetermined number of times. CZ may continue until the battle is won. Such CZ gameplay is hereinafter referred to as a breakthrough type CZ, for example.

  Here, a breakthrough type CZ, which is another example of CZ, will be described with reference to FIG. In the breakthrough type CZ described below, the basic flow of CZ is the same. For example, as shown in FIG. 101 (A), the breakthrough type CZ is composed of a non-battle section and a battle section, and a battle transition lottery triggered by an internal winning combination from the non-battle section to the battle section. The battle mode promotion lottery is performed when the battle transition lottery is triggered by the Bell winning prize and the continuation is determined in the battle transition lottery triggered by the Bell winning prize. Also, during CZ, as long as the number of CZ games remains, no defeat is determined in the battle transition lottery, and when the number of CZ games remains or does not remain, The notification content of is different.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 101 (A), in the breakthrough type CZ, when the battle is won, one ART stock is given, and the battle section is returned to the non-battle section to perform the battle of the next game. . If the battle of the next game is also won, one more stock in the ART state is given. As a result, the stock in the ART state will be awarded for the number of times that won the battle (the number corresponding to the stage of the CZ), and even if the battle was defeated, the stock in the ART state has already been granted If there is no ART stock when the battle is defeated, the gaming state transitions to the normal state, and if the battle is defeated with the ART state stock, the gaming state transitions to the ART state To do.

  In this way, in the breakthrough type CZ, the CZ continues as long as the battle is won, and the ART stock is given each time the battle is won. In addition, if it is possible to win the battle indefinitely during the CZ, the profit given to the player becomes too large. Therefore, in the breakthrough type CZ, the number of wins is limited. For example, the character used for the CZ Since there are four people, it may be possible to win up to four times. In this case, each time the battle is won, the character is switched, and when all the characters win the battle, for example, an additional chance may be given.

  In the above description, the character is associated with the CZ mode, and the battle expectation level of the battle in the CZ is different. Therefore, the result may be different depending on the order of the characters challenging the battle. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 101 (B), the scenario of the order of characters challenging the battle may be managed. Note that this scenario (CZ scenario) may be determined, for example, when a gasse CZ precursor or CZ precursor is determined during a normal state.

  In addition, in the battle in CZ, when the continuation is determined in the battle transition lottery at the time of the bell winning, the battle mode promotion lottery is performed, and the victory is determined in the battle transition lottery at the time of the bell winning as the battle mode is promoted. Probability increases. In the breakthrough type CZ, the battle mode may be individually provided for each character, or may be used in common during one CZ. In the former case, for example, even if the first character wins after promoting the battle mode, the second character will start from the lowest battle mode, and in the latter case, For example, when the first character wins after promoting the battle mode, the second character takes over the promoted battle mode and performs the battle.

  Also, the number of CZ games can be handled arbitrarily. For example, the number of CZ games may be provided individually for each character, or may be used in common during one CZ. In the former case, for example, even if the first character wins after digesting the number of CZ games, a separate CZ game is used for the second character, so the battle of the second character is immediately defeated. However, as long as the number of CZ games of the second character remains, only a part of the correct push order is notified when the bell is won. On the other hand, in the latter case, for example, when the first character wins after digesting the number of CZ games, the second character does not have the number of CZ games, so the defeat can be determined immediately. Although there is a characteristic, when pushing the bell, all of the correct push order will be notified.

[Another example 2 of CZ]
In the above-described embodiment, the CZ is ended when the defeat is determined in the battle transition lottery after the number of CZ games is exhausted. Therefore, the duration of the CZ varies depending on the result of the lottery. In contrast, the CZ period may be a fixed number of games. Even in this case, it may be possible to notify part or all of the correct pressing order when the pressing order bell is won, and the main control circuit 91 notifies a part of the correct pressing order for a predetermined period after the CZ starts. Then, during the predetermined period before the end of CZ, all of the correct pressing order is notified. For example, when the CZ period is 15 games, the main control circuit 91 notifies a part of the correct pushing order when the pushing order bell is won until 10 games have elapsed since the CZ started. From the 11th game to the 15th game, the correct push order is notified when the push order is won. The main control circuit 91 ends CZ when the game of the 15th game ends after the start of CZ.

[Effect of pachislot machine]
The pachislot 1 according to the present invention has been described above. According to such a pachislot 1, the following effects can be expected.

<Association between the decision regarding the progress of the game and the production>
In the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the main control circuit 91 determines a gusset precursor for each gaming state not only for the main symptom in the case of transitioning from the normal state to the gaming state but also for the gusset precursor. That is, the main control circuit 91 determines the precursor state of the transition destination from the Gasse PCZ precursor, Gase CZ precursor, Gase ART precursor, PCZ precursor, CZ precursor and ART precursor in the normal state. As a result, when the gaze precursor is determined, the main control circuit 91 maintains the gaming state in the normal state even when the precursor is over, but when the precursor is determined, the main control circuit 91 After completion, the game state is shifted to the corresponding game state.

  On the other hand, the sub-control circuit 101 performs an effect according to the type of the sign during the gas sign or the sign. For example, the sub-control circuit 101 performs an effect suggesting that there is a possibility of transition to the PCZ when the precursor is finished during the GASE PCZ precursor and the PCZ precursor. An effect that suggests the transition to is performed, and during the GASE ART precursor and during the ART precursor, an effect that suggests transition to the ART state is performed after the precursor ends.

  In this way, in the pachislot 1, it is possible to perform an effect that enshrines the type of gaming state determined on the main side in the precursor. Thereby, in the pachi-slot 1, the tendency of the production performed during the harsh sign can be determined on the main side, and the production and the determination on the main side can be associated with each other.

  In addition, the main control circuit 91 may rewrite the gasse precursor to the present precursor during the precursor, but by determining the type of the gasset precursor on the main side as in the pachislot 1 of the present embodiment, It is possible to rewrite the signs of gasses without feeling inconsistent. In other words, in the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the gaming state that is in the precursor can be grasped on the main side, so when rewriting the Gase precursor to the precursor, it is more than the gaming state that was in the precursor It is possible to prevent the game state from being rewritten as a precursor to a game state that is disadvantageous to the player. From the player's perspective, when the transition to the ART state was performed during the sign (gase), the transition to CZ after the sign would not only feel a contradiction but also a sense of loss. I hold you. In this regard, in the pachislot machine 1 of this embodiment, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling dissatisfied by preventing the player from rewriting the book with an unfavorable gaming state.

  In the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the transition to the precursor state is performed with the internal winning combination and the period as a trigger, so that the game can be diversified. For example, since the opportunity to shift to the precursor state periodically visits, the player can play the game with peace of mind. Even in the situation where the period is long before the arrival of the cycle, there is an opportunity to shift to the precursor state depending on the internal winning combination, so it can be expected to transition to the precursor state at any timing.

[Various functions of the main control board and sub-control board]
In order to realize the control peculiar to the pachislot 1 as described above, the main control board (main control circuit 91, main CPU 93) and the sub control board (sub control circuit 101, sub CPU 102) of the pachislot 1 are as follows. It has a function.

  The main control board 71 is connected to the start switch 79 and the stop switch board 80, and controls the progress of the game shown in FIG. Therefore, the main control board 71 functions as game control means. Further, the sub control board 72 performs a predetermined effect in accordance with the progress of the game by the main control board 71. Therefore, the sub control board 72 functions as effect control means.

  In addition, the main control board 71 determines one cycle rank from among a plurality of cycle ranks that define the type of a precursor state that shifts after the end of one cycle of game at the start of the cycle. Function. In addition, the main control board 71 functions as a counting means for counting the number of times that the CB is established in order to determine the end of one cycle of the game according to the number of times that the CB is determined as an internal winning combination. At the same time, it functions as a cycle determining means for determining that one cycle of the game has ended when the number of CB wins is five.

  In addition, the main control board 71 determines the precursor state according to the internal winning combination determined during one cycle of the game or during the one cycle of game, so that the determination unit, the first determination unit, and the first determination unit 2 functions as a determining means. In addition, the main control board 71 functions as a changing unit in order to perform a rewriting lottery that rewrites the gasse precursor into the main precursor during the precursor state. Then, the main control board 71 functions as a granting unit to grant a privilege that the game state is shifted to the game state corresponding to the precursor state when the precursor state ends.

  In addition, since the sub control board 72 performs an effect corresponding to the type of the sign through the liquid crystal display device 11 during the sign state, the sub control board 72 and the liquid crystal display device 11 function as effect executing means. In addition, the sub control board 72 displays a counter for counting the number of times CB is established on the liquid crystal display device 11, and in particular, the sub control board 72 and the liquid crystal display device 11 are displayed in order to change the display of the counter according to the cycle rank. Functions as a display counter.

<Pullback control from the pullback zone>
Moreover, in the pachislot 1 of this embodiment, if it loses to the 2nd person battle of normal ART, it will transfer to a pullback zone, and if pullback is successful in this pullback zone, it will return to normal ART again. In Pachislot 1, the battle stage is progressed during normal ART, and if the 4th round is passed, it will shift to a more advantageous special ART. Even if it succeeds in pulling back in the pullback zone, The battle stage is normally advanced during ART. That is, in the pachi-slot 1, it is possible not to return to the state before the pull-back when the pull-back is successful, but to return in a state advanced by one step from before the pull-back. And the interest of the game by pulling back can be improved.

  By the way, if the withdrawal from the withdrawal zone and the victory of the second battle are made the same situation, the player's interest in the second battle will be reduced. Therefore, in the pachi-slot 1 of the present embodiment, when winning the second battle, extra lottery is performed, and when pulling back from the pullback zone, no extra lottery is performed. Thereby, a player will be interested also about the result of a 2nd person battle, and it can prevent that the interest in a 2nd person battle falls.

  Further, in the pachislot 1, during the pull back zone, a pull back lottery for determining whether to return to the normal ART and a continuous lottery for determining whether to continue the pull back zone (in other words, an end lottery for determining whether to end the pull back zone). However, continuous lottery (end lottery) is not performed until 10 games have elapsed since the transition to the pullback zone. From the player's point of view, the game can be played with peace of mind without worrying about the end of the 10 games, and the game will not end unless it continues to the lottery, so the withdrawal zone will end even after 10 games have passed. You can play games with a sense of tension and improve your interest in the pullback zone.

  At this time, if the winning combination other than the lost group is a winning combination, there is a possibility that the withdrawal lottery will be won, while there is no possibility of non-continuation being determined by the continuous lottery, and the lost group is the winning combination In some cases, on the contrary, there is no possibility of winning the pull-back lottery, but the non-continuation may be determined by the continuous lottery. From the player's point of view, during the withdrawal zone, the flow of subsequent games varies greatly depending on the type of the winning role, so you will be interested in the winning role in the withdrawal zone. Can be increased.

[Various functions of the main control board and sub-control board]
In order to realize the control peculiar to the pachislot 1 as described above, the main control board (main control circuit 91, main CPU 93) and the sub control board (sub control circuit 101, sub CPU 102) of the pachislot 1 are as follows. It has a function.

  The main control board 71 is connected to the start switch 79 and the stop switch board 80, and controls the progress of the game shown in FIG. Therefore, the main control board 71 functions as game control means. Further, the sub control board 72 performs a predetermined effect in accordance with the progress of the game by the main control board 71. Therefore, the sub control board 72 functions as effect control means.

  In addition, the main control board 71 performs a battle transfer lottery during the second ART battle of the normal ART, and when the defeat is determined in the transfer lottery, the main control board 71 thereafter ends the second ART battle of the normal ART and shifts to the withdrawal zone. Therefore, it functions as a continuation unit that determines whether or not to continue the normal ART and a first state transition unit that shifts the gaming state from the normal ART to the withdrawal zone.

In addition, the main control board 71 performs a return lottery for determining whether or not to return to the normal ART during the pullback zone, performs a continuous lottery for determining whether or not to continue the pullback zone, and shifts from the normal ART to the pullback zone. Since 10 games are set as the number of games in the withdrawal zone and no continuous lottery is performed during the 10 games, the main control board 71 functions as a withdrawal determination means, an end determination means, and a rights management means.
When the main control board 71 decides to pull back in the pull-back lottery, the main control board 71 pulls the gaming state back to the normal ART, and when it decides to discontinue in the continuous lottery, the main control board 71 ends the pull-back zone and shifts the gaming state to the normal state. It functions as a two-state transition means.

  Further, when the main control board 71 wins the second person battle or succeeds in pulling back in the pullback zone, the main control board 71 functions as an advance means to advance the battle stage in the normal ART to the next battle. When the main control board 71 breaks through the fourth battle during the normal ART, the main control board 71 shifts from the normal ART to the special ART. When the second battle is won, the main control board 71 performs extra lottery. If you succeed in pulling back in the pullback zone, you will not be able to add lottery for the extra chance, so you can give the first bonus when you win the second battle, and give the second bonus when you break through the fourth round It functions as a possible grant means.

<Continuation count ceiling>
In the pachi-slot 1 of the present embodiment, a ceiling is provided at the number of times that continuation is determined in the battle shift lottery of the second person battle or special ART battle, and when the number of continuations reaches the number of ceilings, the continuation is rewritten as victory. Here, when the continuation is decided in the battle transition lottery, since the effect of scolding the victory of the teammate character is performed, if the player continues to beat the victory by providing a ceiling to the number of times of continuation, Since the possibility of actually winning will increase, it can prevent the interest of the game from decreasing.

  The battle transition lottery is based on an internal winning combination (lottery group A). However, when a strong rare group is won or a bell group is won, no defeat is determined. Continuation is determined with high probability, and victory or continuation is determined with low probability when the Bell group is won. On the other hand, there is a possibility that a defeat will be determined when a winning group is won when there is no guarantee game. From the player's point of view, if a strong rare group wins, the battle will not be defeated, so the game can be played with peace of mind, and victory or continuation (with the number of ceilings) will be decided. Along with this, we can expect to progress to the next game. On the other hand, if the winning group wins, the ART state may end, so a game is played in hopes that the ART state will continue, and a game with a sense of tension can be performed. .

  Note that in the battle transition lottery, even if the game is lost, as long as the number of guaranteed games remains, defeat will not be determined, so the player can play with confidence while the number of guaranteed games remains. It can be performed. On the other hand, although there is a possibility that the ART state will end if the number of guaranteed games is exhausted, there is a possibility that victory or continuation may be determined in the battle transition lottery when losing the game when there are no guaranteed games The player will have a strong interest in the result of the battle transfer lottery, and the interest will be improved.

  Also, in special ART battles, battle transfer lottery is performed according to the combination of battles, but in some combinations, the lottery coefficient of the battle transfer lottery is made common. As a result, it is possible to reduce the amount of data on the main side where the capacity is severely limited, which is preferable.

[Various functions of the main control board and sub-control board]
In order to realize the control peculiar to the pachislot 1 as described above, the main control board (main control circuit 91, main CPU 93) and the sub control board (sub control circuit 101, sub CPU 102) of the pachislot 1 are as follows. It has a function.

  The main control board 71 is connected to the start switch 79 and the stop switch board 80, and controls the progress of the game shown in FIG. Therefore, the main control board 71 functions as game control means. Further, the sub control board 72 performs a predetermined effect in accordance with the progress of the game by the main control board 71. Therefore, the sub control board 72 functions as effect control means.

In addition, the main control board 71 functions as a game information determining means for determining an enemy character (first game information) and a teammate (second game information) in a special ART battle.
Then, the main control board 71 refers to various information such as an internal winning combination, a battle combination pattern, and the number of guaranteed games, performs a battle transition lottery, and displays the result of the battle (win, defeat, continuation or non-win) decide. Further, the main control board 71 counts the number of continuations, and when the number of continuations reaches the number of ceilings, the main control board 71 functions as a determination unit and a counting unit in order to rewrite the result of the battle shift lottery as a victory.

  Further, the main control board 71 advances the stage of the second person battle or the special ART battle to the next game when victory is determined in the battle transition lottery, and the second person battle when the defeat is determined. Or end the special ART battle and move to the pullback zone. In addition, when it is determined that the battle transition lottery is to be continued or non-winning, the current second-stage battle or special ART battle is continued. Therefore, the main control board 71 functions as game state control means.

  Further, the sub-control board 72 controls the production according to the result of the battle transition lottery, and when victory is determined, the teammate character (ally team) performs the victory and the defeat is determined. In this case, the teammates (teams) will be defeated, and if the continuation is decided, the teammates (teams) will make a suggestion of victory or defeat. Produce a stupid effect. Therefore, the sub control board 72 functions as a decision information effect control means.

<Push order navigation in CZ>
Further, in the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when a bell wins during CZ, a battle transition lottery is performed. When the pushing bell wins during CZ, a partial notification of the correct pushing order for the bell winning is given. And all notifications. For example, when the CZ is ended by lottery after the number of CZ games is lost as in the above embodiment, the main control circuit 91 performs a partial notification of the correct push order until the number of CZ games is lost. After the number of CZ games is exhausted, all of the correct push order is notified. In addition, when CZ is ended when a fixed number of games elapses as in another example 2, a part of the correct push order is notified for a predetermined period after the start of CZ, and the predetermined period before the end of CZ is All notifications of correct answer push order are given. As a result, for the game in the CZ, control that does not depend only on the player's selection is possible while interposing the player's selection.

  In the pachi-slot 1, when the continuation is determined in the battle transition lottery at the time of the bell winning, the main control circuit 91 performs the battle mode promotion lottery. From the player's point of view, at the time of winning a bell, not only can he receive the stock of the ART state by the battle transition lottery, but can also increase the expectation of winning the battle as the battle mode is promoted.

  In addition, when applied to a breakthrough type CZ as in the above-mentioned example 1, if a player can win a battle in the CZ according to his / her choice, he can expect to be given a lot of stock. It will have a strong interest, and it will be possible to give a new gameability to the player's selection, and the interest will be improved.

[Various functions of the main control board and sub-control board]
In order to realize the control peculiar to the pachislot 1 as described above, the main control board (main control circuit 91, main CPU 93) and the sub control board (sub control circuit 101, sub CPU 102) of the pachislot 1 are as follows. It has a function.

  The main control board 71 is connected to the start switch 79 and the stop switch board 80, and controls the progress of the game shown in FIG. Therefore, the main control board 71 functions as a start operation detection unit, a combination determination unit, a stop operation detection unit, and a stop control unit.

  Further, the main control circuit 91 starts CZ when a predetermined condition is satisfied, and ends CZ when the predetermined condition is satisfied, and thus functions as a specific game start means, an end determination means, and a specific game end means. Further, the main control circuit 91 functions as a grant determining means and a grant means in order to grant a stock in the ART state when a victory is determined in the battle transition lottery during CZ.

  In addition, the main control circuit 91 functions as a mode determination unit in order to perform a battle mode promotion lottery when a continuation is determined in a battle transition lottery triggered by a bell winning during CZ. Further, in the case of a breakthrough type CZ as in the second example, the main control circuit 91 functions as an advancing means in order to advance the battle of the CZ to the next game when victory is determined in the battle transition lottery.

  Further, the main control circuit 91 functions as a notifying unit in order to notify the player of a part or all of the correct pushing order when the pushing order bell is won during CZ.

[Modification]
The pachislot machine 1 of the above embodiment has a pullback zone as an aspect of the ART state, but is not limited to this, and the ART state (advantageous section) may not be used in the pullback zone.

  Further, in the pachislot machine 1 of the above embodiment, when one cycle of a game is performed in the normal state, the state shifts to a precursor state (various gauze precursors or various precursors). After completion, the game state is shifted to the corresponding game state. Here, in the pachislot machine 1 of the above-described embodiment, the game in the precursor state is included in the normal state. However, the game is not limited to this, and the game in the precursor state may be set as the advantageous section. For example, there is an advantageous section A that lasts for a period corresponding to the number of precursor games and an advantageous section B that lasts for a period corresponding to the number of precursor games. On the other hand, during the advantageous section B, the player performs one navigation for a period corresponding to the number of precursor games (for example, informs the player of a stop operation that is advantageous to the player once), and During the period exceeding the period, all navigation is performed (for example, all modes of a stop operation advantageous to the player are notified). As an example, when the period corresponding to the number of precursor games is 15 games, and the period exceeding the period is 50 games, the main control circuit 91 may change between the 15 games when it shifts to the advantageous section A. While performing one navigation, the advantageous section A ends when 15 games have elapsed. On the other hand, when the main control circuit 91 shifts to the advantageous section B, the main control circuit 91 performs one navigation during 15 games, and when 15 games have elapsed, performs all navigation during the subsequent 50 games. By doing in this way, the game in the sign of Gase can be realized by the advantageous section A, and the game from this sign to the ART state can be realized by the advantageous section B.

  In addition, the gaming properties of each gaming state of the pachislot machine 1 of the above embodiment can be applied to other gaming states. For example, the gameability in the chance zone (CZ, PCZ) can be diverted to the addition in the ART state or the transition to the chance zone or the ART state in the normal state. It can be diverted to an ART lottery in the chance zone or a transition to the chance zone or the ART state in the normal state.

  Moreover, in the pachislot 1 of the said embodiment, although it is supposed that various privilege is provided, the privilege provided to a player is arbitrary. For example, not only the benefits related to the play given to the player (for example, the transition to the ART state, the addition of the duration of the ART state, the transition to the CZ, the addition of the duration of the CZ), the benefits other than the appearance (For example, release of bonus video, custom release of pachislot 1, custom release of premier production (lottery probability, stage, character, etc.), interlocking function with mobile terminal (right to obtain images and game information on mobile terminal) Etc.).

  Moreover, the content of the notification performed during the ART state is not limited to the example described above, and is arbitrary. For example, the stop operation order (push order) in which a special symbol combination that is advantageous to the player is displayed may be notified, or the timing of the stop operation necessary for displaying the symbol combination ( You may make it alert | report the symbol which should aim.

  As an advantageous state for the player, the winning probability of the internal winning combination relating to the re-game does not change (or changes within a range not affecting the game performance), but the mode of the stop operation which is advantageous for the player is It may be a gaming state in which the function to notify, that is, the AT function is activated. Further, as a state advantageous to the player, a re-game high probability state (replay time) in which the winning probability of the internal winning combination relating to re-game is activated, and a mode of a stop operation advantageous to the player is notified. It may be a gaming state in which the function is activated, that is, the ART function is activated.

Also, the management method of the duration of the ART state is arbitrary. For example, the duration may be managed by the number of games, the duration may be managed by the number of sets, and the duration is managed by the number of medals paid out or the number of differences during the ART state. In addition, the duration may be managed based on the number of times of notification (the number of navigations) that affects the payout of medals during the ART state, and the continuation performed at an arbitrary timing during the ART state. The duration may be managed by the determination, or the ART state may be terminated when a specific symbol combination is displayed during the ART state.
In this case, the addition target is appropriately adjusted according to the management method of the duration of the ART state, such as the number of games, the number of sets, the number of times of navigation, the number of differences, and the like.

Also, the management of the duration of CZ is arbitrary. The duration may be managed by the number of games, the duration may be managed by the number of sets, or the duration may be managed by continuation determination performed at an arbitrary timing in the CZ. Also, when a specific symbol combination is displayed in CZ, CZ may be terminated, or the duration may be managed according to the number of ART lotteries performed during CZ. The continuation period may be managed by the number of times of transition to the ART state.
In this case, the addition target is appropriately adjusted according to the CZ duration management method, such as the number of games, the number of sets, the number of lotteries, and the like.

  Further, in the pachislot machine 1 of the above-described embodiment, the notification (ART) function is operated under the control of the main (main control board 71) side, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the sub (sub control) The notification (ART) function may be activated by control on the substrate 72 side.

  Further, in the pachislot machine 1 of the above-described embodiment, the transition to the CZ or ART state is made by winning the transition lottery performed during the normal state. Here, in the pachislot machine 1 of the above-described embodiment, there may be a setting difference with respect to the transition lottery, but the transition lottery may be performed based on “information having no difference in setting value”. Note that “information with no difference in setting values” means that all the setting values in the internal lottery process are determined as internal winning combinations with the same probability (setting unquestioned roles), and all settings when all reels are stopped. It includes at least a symbol combination (a symbol combination having no setting difference) that is displayed with the same probability in terms of value.

That is, in the pachislot machine 1 of the modified example, when a setting unquestioned role is determined as an internal winning combination, a lottery for shifting to the CZ or ART state is performed, and a combination having a setting difference (setting differential combination) is determined as an internal winning combination. In such a case, the lottery for shifting to the CZ or ART state is not performed. Further, in the pachislot 1, when a symbol combination with no set difference is displayed when all reels are stopped, a lottery for shifting to the CZ or ART state is performed, and when a symbol combination with a set difference is displayed, the CZ Or lottery for transition to ART state.
In this specification, not performing lottery includes not only performing lottery itself, but also means that although lottery is performed, it is always non-winning.

Further, the lottery for shifting to the CZ or ART state may be performed based on a complete probability that is predetermined and does not vary at all. The “predetermined complete probability that does not vary” means a probability that does not vary based on at least the set value (that is, a probability that the winning probability is the same regardless of the set value).
In addition, it is good also as including that it is the probability uniquely defined with respect to "information without a difference in a setting value" as "the predetermined complete probability which does not change at all". In recent gaming machines, there are cases where a state where it is easy to win the transition lottery and a state where it is difficult to win. In such a case, when a transition lottery is performed with a “probability uniquely determined for information that does not have a difference in setting values”, for example, in any game state at the time of winning a setting unquestioned role A transfer lottery will be performed with the same probability. On the other hand, when a transfer lottery is performed with a “probability that is not uniquely determined for information that does not have a difference in setting values (that is, a probability that fluctuates)”, for example, Transition lottery that wins with a probability according to the current gaming state, that is, if the current gaming state is a high probability state, a transition lottery that wins with a high probability is performed, and the current gaming state is a low probability state In this case, a transition lottery that wins with a low probability is performed.

  In this way, the transition lottery performed based on “information with no difference in the set value” is performed with the same probability of winning regardless of the set value. In the pachislot machine 1 of the modified example, the transition to the CZ or ART state is performed. The degree of expectation regarding the transition can be made the same for each setting value, and the difference in the performance of the ball can be suppressed to the winning probability of the setting difference having a setting difference.

  The lottery for shifting to the CZ or ART state includes (1) an internal lottery for determining an internal winning combination, (2) a transition lottery for determining whether or not to perform transition, and (3) transition for transition. Three lotteries of advantageous section type lottery for determining the destination can be considered. In the pachislot machine 1, these three lotteries may be performed using individual random numbers, all the lotteries may be performed using a common random number, and two lotteries are shared. The random number may be used, and the remaining one lottery may be performed using individual random values. Note that using a common random value means, for example, (1) When a predetermined unquestioned role is determined in a random number range of “0 to 128” in the internal lottery, (2) “0 to 64” is transferred. Non-winning random number range for lottery, “65-128” is the random number range for winning lottery, and (3) “65-83” is the random number range whose destination is CZ1, and “83-99” is transferred The destination is CZ2 random number range, “99 to 115” is the transition destination CZ3 random number range, and “115 to 128” is the transition destination ART state random number range. In other words, the lottery result of another lottery is assigned to a part of the random number range won in one lottery.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment and various modifications, the pachislot was mentioned as an example as a game machine, However, This invention is not limited to this. Features other than the features peculiar to the pachislot machine 1 such as features relating to reel control and features relating to setting changes and confirmation according to the present invention can also be applied to a gaming machine called “pachinko”, and similar effects can be obtained. For example, checksum generation and determination processing, various processing using an instruction code dedicated to the main CPU 93 (address designation processing using a Q register, soft timer update processing, 7 segment LED drive processing, communication data generation and storage processing, etc. ), Features such as various processes using the non-standard ROM area and the non-standard RAM area are also applicable to “pachinko”.

  Further, the set value may be only one stage. At this time, the setting change process may be left or eliminated. In the case of leaving the setting change process, it is only possible to re-set to the same setting, so that the process is substantially a process for clearing the RAM. Even when the set value is only one level, a mode related to the lottery (first hit and / or extra) etc. of the advantageous state (ART state, etc.) is provided, and the number of times that a predetermined combination winning with a predetermined probability is counted However, when the number of times reaches a specified value, the mode can be changed by switching the mode.

  In this case, a value obtained by multiplying the denominator with a predetermined probability by the specified value is one wave of the ball. If it is defined that the value is switched at the number of games corresponding to one day, even if the set value is one stage, it can be made inferior to a plurality of gaming machines provided. For example, when the business hours of the day are 11 hours, 11h = 39600 sec. Therefore, if the minimum time required for one game is 4.1 seconds according to the rules, the maximum number of games per day is 39600/4. 1 = about 9659 times. Since it is not realistic that no breaks (meals or toilets) are sandwiched, the number of games per day is considered to be approximately 8000 times. By setting the predetermined probability to 1/32 and the specified value to 256, 32 × 256 = 8192, so that the wave of the ball can be switched in approximately one day.

  In addition, if the number of times a given combination wins reaches the specified value, if the mode that is advantageous to the player and the mode that is unfavorable are switched alternately, the profit will be stabilized in the two-day cycle, so that the game It can contribute to the sales of the store. In addition, although the case where a set value was made into 1 step | paragraph was demonstrated, it is not restricted to 1 step | paragraph and can be diverted. More specifically, if it is adopted without changing the number of set values, it is possible to make the waves of the balls more complicated without increasing the number of set values. Further, if the number of set values is reduced, it is possible to compensate for the monotonous state where the set values are reduced.

  If the number of set values can be reduced, the data capacity can be reduced accordingly. If the six-stage setting value can be changed to one-stage setting value, the data can be reduced to 1/6. In addition, the development cost for designing the desired payout ratio at each stage is also 1/6. Furthermore, only gaming machines that are suitable for testing are permitted to be used for business, and the time required for testing can be shortened.

[Other expandability of gaming machine according to this embodiment]
In the pachi-slot 1 of the present embodiment, a player's medal insertion operation (that is, an operation of inserting a hand-held medal into the medal insertion slot 20, or a credited medal is a MAX bet button 15a or a 1-bet button 15b. When the game is started by the operation of inserting and the medals are paid out when the game is finished, the hopper device 51 is driven and the medals are paid out from the medal payout outlet 24, or credit However, the present invention is not limited to this.

  For example, the present invention is applied to all modes in which a game medium required for a game is inserted by a player, a game is performed based on the game medium, and a privilege is granted (for example, a medal is paid out) based on the game result. be able to. That is, not only the form in which a game medium is inserted (hanged) by a physical player's action and the game medium is paid out, but also the main control circuit 91 (main control board 71) itself is a game medium held by the player. The game may be managed electromagnetically to enable a game without medals. In addition, the game media management apparatus that manages the game media that is attached (connected) to the main control circuit 91 (main control board 71) may electromagnetically manage the game media held by the player. .

  In this case, the game medium management device has a ROM and an RWM (or RAM) and is provided in the game machine, and is bidirectionally communicated with an external game medium handling device (not shown) via a predetermined interface. The game medium lending operation (that is, the operation for providing the necessary game medium when the player performs the operation of inserting the game medium) or the role relating to the payout of the game medium ( A game medium payout operation (that is, an operation for acquiring a game medium necessary for paying out a game medium to the player) or a game medium to be used for a game when the combination is established) It may be possible to perform an electromagnetic recording operation. The game medium management device not only manages the actual number of game media, but also displays the number of game media held on the front surface of the pachislot 1 based on the management result of the number of game media, for example. A number display device (not shown) may be provided, and the number of game media displayed on the held game media number display device may be managed. In other words, the game medium management device may record and display the total number of game media that the player can use for the game by an electromagnetic method.

  Further, in this case, the game medium management device has a performance that allows a player to freely transmit a signal indicating the number of recorded game media to an external game medium handling device. In addition to direct operation, the number of recorded game media cannot be reduced, and an external connection terminal plate (not shown) is provided between the game media handling device and an external device. It is desirable that the player has a performance that cannot transmit a signal indicating the number of recorded game media unless it is via the external connection terminal board.

  In addition to the above, the gaming machine is provided with a lending operation means that can be operated by the player, a return (settlement) operation means, and an external connection terminal plate. (For example, an IC card), a non-contact communication antenna for depositing electronic money etc. from a portable terminal, other operation means such as lending operation means, return operation means, etc., a game medium handling device side external connection terminal board It may be provided (both not shown).

  As a flow of the game at that time, for example, the player deposits the valuable value to the game medium handling device by any method, and subtracts a predetermined number of valuable values based on the operation of any of the lending operation means. Then, the number of game media corresponding to the valuable value subtracted from the game media handling device to the game media management device is increased. Then, the player plays a game and repeats the above operation when a game medium is required. After that, a predetermined number of game media are acquired as a result of the game, and when the game is ended, the game media management device transmits the number of game media to the game media handling device by operating any of the return operation means. The medium handling device discharges the recording medium on which the number of game media is recorded. The game medium management device clears the number of game media stored by itself when the number of game media is transmitted. The player takes the discharged recording medium to a prize counter or the like for exchanging prizes, or moves the gaming table to play a game based on the gaming medium recorded on another table.

  In the above example, all the game media are transmitted to the game media handling device, but the game machine or the game media handling device transmits only the number of game media desired by the player, and the game media possessed by the player It may be divided and processed. In addition to discharging the recording medium, cash or cash equivalents may be discharged or stored in a portable terminal or the like. In addition, the game medium handling device may be able to insert a member recording medium in the game hall and store it in the member recording medium so that it can be replayed at a later date.

  As described above, this game medium management device may be one that allows games only without medals, or a game medium is inserted (hanged) by a physical player's action, and the game medium May be a form that allows the game to be paid out, a form that allows a game without medals, or a form that allows a game to be played in both forms. In this case, the game medium management device can adopt a method of directly controlling the selector 66 and the hopper device 51 described above, and these are controlled by the main control circuit 91 (main control board 71). Based on the transmission of the control result, adopt a method that enables control to record and display the total number of game media that a player can use for games by an electromagnetic method. You can also.

  Further, in the above description, the case where the game medium management device is applied to the pachislot 1 has been described. However, in the slot machine and the enclosed game machine using the above-described game balls, the game medium management device is provided in the same manner, and the player It is also possible to manage the game media.

  As described above, by providing the above-described game medium management device, it is possible to reduce the number of selectors 66, hopper devices 51, and the like inside the game machine as compared to the case where the game medium is physically provided for the game. In addition to reducing the cost and manufacturing cost of the game machine, it is possible to prevent the player from directly touching the game medium, improving the gaming environment, reducing noise, and reducing the number of devices. It will also reduce the power consumption. Also, it is possible to prevent illegal acts through game media and game media slot and payout port. That is, it is possible to provide a gaming machine that can improve various environments surrounding the gaming machine.

<Appendix (summary of the present invention)>
[First to fourth gaming machines]
In recent years, there has been known a gaming machine for notifying a player of information advantageous to a player, such as information for establishing an internal winning combination so as not to miss an internal winning combination. ing. It should be noted that notifying such information that would be advantageous to the player is generally referred to as navigating (navigating), and the period during which navigation is performed is referred to as AT (assist time), and has an AT function. A gaming machine is called an AT machine or an ART machine.

[Fifth to eighth game machines]
Also, for example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-104425, information that is advantageous to the player, such as information for establishing an internal winning combination so as not to miss a combination determined as an internal winning combination, A gaming machine for informing a player is disclosed. It should be noted that notifying such information that would be advantageous to the player is generally referred to as navigating (navigating), and the period during which navigation is performed is referred to as AT (assist time), and has an AT function. A gaming machine is called an AT machine or an ART machine. According to the AT (ART) machine, the profits differ depending on not only the lottery probability of the internal winning combination but also the presence / absence of notification, so that the interest of the game can be improved.

  In recent years, a gaming machine having a pull-back state with an increased probability of winning the AT after the end of the AT period (or the end of the AT period) is known. By winning, the AT period is resumed immediately after the end of the AT period. However, the retraction state in the conventional gaming machine has a problem that the probability of winning the AT is merely increased and lacks interest.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above second problem, and a second object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of improving the interest of the game by pulling back.

  In order to solve the second problem, the present invention provides a fifth gaming machine having the following configuration.
