And, when each stop button is pressed and operated at the pressing timing at which the special small role 1 to the special small role 6 can not be won, a dropout (non-winning) in which any combination does not win occurs. Further, in the following description, a batting order in which a bell can be won when winning in the winning area "batning bell 1" to the winning area "bating bell 6" will be described as the correct batting order. In addition, a batting order in which a bell can not be won at the time of winning in the winning area "batning bell 1" to the winning area "bating bell 6" is also described as an incorrect answering order.

  The winning area "common bell role" is selected to be a bell, and the bell is configured to be capable of winning regardless of batting order and pressing timing. The winning area "Lea" is elected as a rare, and is configured to be able to win regardless of batting order and pressing timing, and the probability of winning is lower than that of a winning area including other minors. It is configured. The winning area "drop-off role" is configured to win the drop-off role when the drop-off role is won if the press-down timing of the stop button B1 to stop button B3 is appropriate, and the press-down timing of the stop button B1 to stop button B3 If it is the pressing timing that the player can not win the winning combination, it becomes a missed (non winning) condition in which neither combination wins.

  FIG. 4B is a diagram showing a winning area of a small winning combination that can be won in the first bonus state. As shown in FIG. 4 (B), JAC has all of the bells, special small part 1 to special small part 6 and the small part which can be won in the non-RT state to RT 2 state and the bonus establishment state, of the rare part and the missing part. It is a winning area which is won in duplicate. In the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, when winning in the winning area “JAC”, in the reel stop control by the reel control means 130, the bell with the largest number of payouts at the time of winning is prioritized over other roles. The first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are controlled. Thus, when the winning area "JAC" is won, the bell is won regardless of the batting order and the pressing timing of the stop button B1 to the stop button B3.

  Next, the winning area including the replay will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the winning area "Normal Replay 1", the winning area "Normal Replay 2", and the winning area "Sequence Replay 1" are selected as the winning area including only Replay. A winning area "batting order replay 6" and a winning area "reali play" are set.

  The winning area "Normal Replay 1" is a winning area set in each of the internal lottery table A to internal lottery table D, and the normal replay is won, and the ordinary replay can be won regardless of batting order and pressing timing. It is done. The winning area "Normal Replay 2" is a winning area set in each of the internal lottery table A to internal lottery table D, and the normal replay and the normal replay indicate combinations of symbols (hereinafter referred to as "winning symbols"). The combination is also described as “special replay 1” different from the other replays, and is configured to be able to win regular replay regardless of batting order and pressing timing. The winning area "reary play" is a winning area set in each of the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D, and is selected to be a trial play and configured to be able to win the trial play regardless of batting order and pressing timing. ing. In addition, the winning area "reary play" is set so that the winning probability is lower than any winning area of the winning area including the replay that can be won in each internal lottery table.

  The winning area "Sequence replay 1" to the winning area "Sequence replay 6" are the winning areas set in the internal lottery table B selected when the gaming state is the RT1 state, and the normal replay and the RT2 transition replay When the stop button B1 to stop button B3 are pressed and operated in the batting order set for each of the winning area "batning replay 1" to the winning area "batning replay 6", the RT2 transition replay When the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed and operated in a batting order other than that, the normal replay is won.

  In addition, the winning area “strike order replay 1” to the winning area “strike order replay 6” are configured such that the winning manners in which the duplicate wins are different from one another. Specifically, in the winning area “strike replay 1”, the normal replay and the RT2 transition replay are dually won, and in the winning area “strike replay 2”, the normal replay, the RT2 transition replay and the other replays Special Replay 1 with different winning symbol combinations is double winning, and the winning area "Striking Replay 3" has normal Replay, RT2 transition Replay, and other Replays with special Replay 2 with different winning symbol combinations. The winning area "Striking Replay 4" has a normal replay, the RT2 transition replay, and another Replay the special replay 3 having a different winning symbol combination, and the winning area "Striking Replay 5" has a winning. The normal replay, the RT2 transition replay, and the special replay 4 in which the winning combination is different from the other replays are duplicated, and the winning area “ Forward replay 6 ", the normal replay, and RT2 transition replay, a special replay 5 winning symbol combination different from other replay, are configured to overlap winning. When the reel control means 130 described later wins the winning area including the special replay 1 to the special replay 5 in the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120, the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 have any batting order and pressing timing. The reel stop control is configured to be executed so that the winning combination of special replay 1 to special replay 5 is not displayed even when the pressing operation is performed.

  In the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, the winning probability of the winning area “RBB2” and the winning area “normal replay 2” is changed according to the setting value stored in the setting value storage means 191. It consists of winning area "batning bell 1"-winning area "bating bell 6", winning area "common bell role", winning area "ra role", winning area "drop off role", winning area " Batting Replay 1 "-winning area" batning Replay 6 ", winning area" Normal Replay 1 ", winning area" Really Play ", winning area" RBB1 ", and winning area" CBB " Even if the setting value stored in the means 191 is any value, the winning probability is not changed.

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

  In the lottery flag setting process, the lottery flag corresponding to the combination determined to be won based on the result of the random number determination process is not established (first flag state, OFF state) to the established state (second flag state) , ON state). In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when two or more types of winning combinations are won in duplicate, a lottery flag corresponding to each of the two or more types of winning combinations won in duplicate is set to the established state. The setting information of the lottery flag is stored in the lottery flag storage unit 193 of the main storage unit 190.

  Here, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the lottery flag (carry over possible flag) which can carry over the established state to the next and subsequent games until the prize is won and the winning state is carried over to the next and subsequent games regardless of the prize. A lottery flag (a carry-over impossible flag) which is reset to the non-established state is prepared. As the role to which the former carry-over possible flag is associated, there are RBB1, RBB2 and CBB, and the small combination and the replay are correlated with the latter carry-over impossible flag. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, when the player wins the selected area including any of RBB1, RBB2 or CBB in the internal lottery, RBB1, RBB2 or CBB wins the establishment state of the lottery flag of RBB1, RBB2 or CBB won. Process to carry over.

  In the present embodiment, the symbols of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are configured such that each symbol constituting the combination of winning symbols of CBB can be won regardless of the stop button B1 to stop button B3 timing. It is arranged around the surface. For this reason, the slot machine 1 of this embodiment can execute only the carry over process of RBB1 or RBB 2 as the carry over process of carrying over the established state of the lottery flag until the game after the winning game. Further, when the CBB is operating, the internal lottery unit 120 of the present embodiment sets the lottery flags of all the small winning combinations to the established state regardless of the result of the internal lottery.

  The internal lottery means 120 performs an internal lottery to determine whether or not the small winning combination and the replay are true even in the game carried over in which the establishment state of the lottery flag of RBB1 or RBB2 is carried over. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, in the game in which the establishment state of the lottery flag of RBB1 or RBB2 is carried over, when the small winning combination or the replay is won, the lottery flag and internal lottery of RBB1 or RBB2 already elected A lottery flag corresponding to two or more types of winning combinations consisting of a small winning combination and a lottery flag for replay is set in the established state.

  The reel control means 130 controls the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 by the stepping motor based on the start signal being output from the start switch 230 operated by the player performing the start operation to the start lever SL. Start rotating drive. Further, the reel control means 130 is configured to stop the stop button B1 corresponding to each reel when the rotation state of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is in a steady rotation state at a predetermined speed (for example, about 80 rpm). The control for activating the stop operation detected by the stop switch 240 is executed by pressing the stop button B3. Then, the reel control unit 130 stops the supply of the drive pulse (motor drive signal) to the stepping motor of the reel unit 310 when the reel stop signal is output from the stop switch 240 based on the detection of the stop operation. Control to stop each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is performed. At this time, the reel control unit 130 performs control to stop the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 rotationally driven by the stepping motor in the setting state of the lottery flag, that is, the mode according to the result of the internal lottery. That is, the reel control unit 130 determines the stop position of the reel corresponding to the pressed stop button among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 each time the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 is pressed. Then, control is performed to stop the reel at the determined stop position.

  Further, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are being rotated corresponding to the stop button pressed within 190 ms after the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed. It is designed to stop the reels. Here, when stopping the reels being rotated within 190 ms from the pressing point of the stop button, the stop position of each rotating reel is stopped from the pressing point of the stop button from the diameter and the rotational speed of each reel It is configured to be able to rotate up to 4 frames by the maximum. The reel control means 130, on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button for which the pressing operation has been performed among the stop button B1 to stop button B3, the symbol corresponding to the combination won in the internal lottery is the stop button The symbol corresponding to the winning combination in which the lottery flag is set to the winning state is valid when the display position on the effective line L1 is positioned within the range of 0 to 4 frames when the pressing operation on the is performed. Control is performed to stop the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button on which the pressing operation has been performed so as to display the display position on the line L1.

  For this reason, in the slot machine 1, the symbols constituting the combination of winning symbol combinations that can be won regardless of the timing of pressing the stop button B1 to stop button B3 such as the bell and the respective replays and CBB described above are the first reel R1. Each of the third to fourth reels R3 to R3 is arranged in a displayable range from when the stop button is pressed to when the reels stop. In particular, with regard to symbols that can be displayed on the third reel R3 among the winning symbol combinations of the bell, the depression timing of the stop button B3 is also in the CBB operation time where the number of sliding symbols of the third reel R3 becomes one at maximum. It is arranged so that it can be displayed regardless of.

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

  The reel control means 130 performs logic operation processing for obtaining the stop position of the rotating reel by logic operation, and refers to the stop control table stored in the stop control table storage means 194 of the main storage means 190. And table reference processing to determine the stop position of the

  First, in the logic operation process, 0 to 4 frames from the pressing detection position, which is the position of the reel at the time of actuation of the stop switch 240, that is, the time of pressing the stop button, according to the priority data defined for each combination. The priority is determined for the candidates for the stop positions for five frames present in the range. Here, the reel control unit 130 is a reel index, which is information indicating that the reels output when the photosensor provided in the reel unit 310 detects the reel position detection unit provided in each reel. And the rotation state of the reel at the time of receiving the reel stop signal from the stop switch 240 using the rotation angle from the reference position of the reel at which the reel index is detected (calculated from the number of times of supply of drive pulses supplied to the stepping motor). To get And the candidate of the stop position with the highest priority among the priority of the candidate of each stop position is determined as an actual stop position. However, in the logic operation process, the same priority may be obtained for a plurality of stop position candidates depending on the result of the internal lottery, the press detection position, and the like. When there are a plurality of stop position candidates having the highest priority, the actual stop position is determined by table reference processing.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the gaming state is the non-RT state to the RT2 state, the bonus establishment state or the first bonus state, the priority is determined in the order of “Replay> Small combination> Bonus”. Further, in the slot machine 1, in the case of the second bonus state in which the CBB is in operation, the priority is determined in the order of “small part> replay> bonus”. That is, the slot machine 1 of this embodiment gives priority to the replay and the bonus in the case where the small winning combination and the replay or the bonus are won at the time of executing the reel stop control when the CBB is in operation. The symbols constituting the winning combination of symbols are stopped on the effective line L1.

  In the logic operation processing, when the lottery flag for two or more types of winning combinations is set to the winning state, the stop position including the symbols forming the winning combination of the high-priority winning combinations according to the priority ranking associated with each winning combination. The priority of the candidate is determined such that the priority is higher than the candidate of the stop position including the symbols constituting the winning form of the combination with low priority.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the method of determining the priority of the candidate for the stop position when a plurality of small winning combinations are won in the internal lottery depends on the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the activated line L1. There is a method of determining the priority and a method of determining the priority according to the number of medals paid out based on the payout predetermined for the small winning combination. When the priority of the candidate for the stop position is determined according to the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line L1, the priority is given to the stop position where the number of winning symbol combinations that can be displayed on the effective line L1 increases. The priority of each stop position candidate is determined so as to be higher. In addition, when the priority of the candidate for the stop position is determined according to the number of medals paid out, the number of medals paid out based on the payout of the small winning combination corresponding to the symbol displayed at the display position on the activated line L1 is large. The priority of the candidate for each stop position is determined such that the higher the priority the higher the stop position, ie, the stop position where a small winning combination with a large payout can be won. However, in the case of determining the priority of the candidate for the stop position according to the number of medals paid out, when the small part with the same payout is won in duplicate, the stop position where each small part can be won The priorities of the candidates are treated as the same.

  Further, in the logic operation processing, so-called pull-in processing and kicking-off processing are performed as processing for obtaining a candidate for the stop position of the reel. Here, the pull-in process is a process of obtaining a candidate for the stop position of the reel so that the winning combination in which the lottery flag is set to the winning state can be made as much as possible. On the other hand, the kicking process is a process of obtaining a candidate for the stop position of the reel so that the combination with the lottery flag set to the non-winning state can not be won. In this manner, the reel control means 130 can stop the symbol of the combination in which the lottery flag is set to the winning state in the form of winning, while the symbol of the winning combination in which the lottery flag is set to the non-winning state can be stopped. In order to prevent the stop at the above, a logic operation process is performed to obtain a candidate for the stop position of the reel.

  Here, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when CBB is won and CBB is activated, the reel control means 130 presses the stop button B3 for the third reel R3 among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. The reel stop control is executed so as to stop the rotating third reel R3 within 75 ms from the time when it was done. When stopping the rotating reel within 75 ms from the pressing point of the stop button, the stopping position of each rotating reel is from the pressing point of the stop button to the stop of the reel from the diameter and rotational speed of each reel. It is configured to be rotatable by one frame at maximum.

  The reel control means 130 controls the stop control of the reels during the CBB operation within 75 ms from when the stop button is pressed on at least one of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 which has been determined in advance. The reel stop control may be executed so as to stop, and in the present embodiment, the third reel is detected within 75 ms from the time when the reel stop signal output from the stop switch 240 is detected by pressing the stop button B3. Stop control of the reel is executed so as to stop R3, but the stop switch 240 detects that the stop button corresponding to the other reel such as the first reel R1 or the second reel R2 is pressed, and the reel stop signal Stop the reel within 75 ms from the time when it is output from the stop switch 240 The number of reels set so as to stop the reel within 75 ms from the time when the reel stop signal is output from the stop switch 240 may be one. There may be more than one.

  The winning determination means 140 performs a winning determination process of determining whether or not the winning combination has been won based on the stop modes of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. Specifically, while referring to the prize determination table stored in the prize determination table storage means 195 of the main storage means 190, when all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped, it is on the effective line L1. It is determined whether or not the symbol combination being displayed is in the form of a predetermined winning combination. Then, the prize determination table is set so that the presence or absence of a small winning combination, a replay, and a bonus can be determined (hereinafter referred to as "winning determination") by the symbol combination displayed on the activated line L1 in a state where each reel is stopped. It is prepared.

  Further, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, each process is executed based on the determination result of the prize determination means 140 in the prize determination process. As each process executed based on the determination result of the winning combination, for example, when the small winning combination is achieved, a process of determining the number of medals to be paid out by the payout control means 150 is performed, and the replay is won. A process of causing the replay processing means 160 to execute without consuming the medals in the next game is performed, and when the bonus is won, a process of activating the winning bonus is performed to the gaming state transition control means 170.

  In the present embodiment, the payout amount of the small winning combination is set to a different number of payouts depending on whether it is the first predetermined number of insertions or the second predetermined number of insertions. When the specified number of inputs is set to the first specified number of inputs, Bell's payout is set to nine, which is larger than the first specified number of inputs, and the payout for the rare combination is the same as the first specified number of inputs. The payouts for special small role 1 to special small role 6 and the dropout role are set to one, which is smaller than the first prescribed number of insertions. Further, when the prescribed number of injections is set to the second prescribed number of injections, Bell's payout is set to 14 more than the second prescribed number of injections, and the payout of the rare combination is the same as the second prescribed number of injections. The payouts for the special small role 1 to special small role 6 and the dropout role are set to one less than the second prescribed number of insertions.

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

  The hopper unit 320 performs an operation of paying out the medals of the number of payouts instructed by the payout control means 150. The hopper unit 320 is provided with a paid-out medal detection switch 325 that operates every time one medal is paid out. The payout control means 150 is configured to be able to manage the number of medals actually paid out from the hopper unit 320 based on the input signal from the payout medal detection switch 325. When the medal credit is permitted, the number of credits (credits) stored in the credit storage area (not shown) of the main storage unit 190 instead of actually dispensing the medal by the hopper unit 320 A credit addition process of adding the number of payouts to the number of medals) is performed to virtually pay out the medals.

  The replay processing means 160 determines that the symbol combination indicating one of the plurality of replays among the plurality of types of replays has been stopped and displayed on the activated line L1 by the prize determination means 140, and when the replay is won, the next game Replay processing (re-gaming processing) is performed to set the preparation state in which the game can be executed without the need to insert medals. That is, in the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, when the replay is won, an automatic insertion process is performed in which the medals for the prescribed number of insertions are automatically inserted without using the medals (including credit medals) of the player's hand. In the state where the same effective line L1 as the previous game is set, the start operation for the next start lever SL is waited.

  The game state transition control means 170 changes the gaming state between the non-RT state and the RT2 state, and RTB state transition control processing of changing the winning mode of replay and the internal lottery by the internal lottery means 120 wins RBB1 or RBB2 When a winning symbol combination of RBB1, RBB2 or CBB is displayed on the effective line L1 by the bonus establishment state transition control processing of transitioning from the current gaming state to the bonus establishment state and the reel stop control by the reel control means 130 The game state transition control of the bonus operation control processing of activating the bonus displayed on the activated line L1 and shifting the gaming state to the first bonus state or the second bonus state is performed.

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

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

  The RT1 state is a gaming state corresponding to a normal state capable of transitioning from the non-RT state and the RT2 state, and the transition from the RT1 state to the RT2 state is possible. Specifically, in the RT1 state, the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed in a batting order in which one of the winning area "strike order replay 1" to the hit area "strike order replay 6" is won and the RT2 transition replay can be won. When it is operated and the winning combination of RT2 transition replay is displayed on the effective line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130, the state shifts to the RT2 state. In the RT1 state, an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table B in which the winning probability of replay is set to, for example, about 1 / 7.3.

  The RT2 state is a gaming state in which the transition is made when the winning symbol combination of the RT2 transition replay is displayed on the effective line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130 in the RT1 state. From the RT2 state, transition to the RT1 state is possible. Specifically, one of the winning area "batning bell 1" to the winning area "bating bell 6" is won, and the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed, and the reel control means 130 controls the reel stop to be small. When a symbol combination different from the winning combination of any of the combination, combination and replay is displayed on the effective line L1, the state shifts to the RT1 state. In the RT2 state, by referring to the internal lottery table C in which the probability of winning a small winning combination, a replay or a bonus is set extremely high by setting the winning probability of replay to, for example, about 1 / 1.5 An internal lottery will be held.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, different game characteristics are realized in each gaming state by transitioning the gaming state between the non-RT state and the RT2 state. Specifically, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the probability of replay is approximately 1/7. As long as the bell is kept winning when winning from the winning area "batning bell 1" to the winning area "bating bell 6". Non-RT state maintained with a low probability of 3 and RT1 state where a normal game is executed, and winning a replay with a high probability, extremely high probability for any of small part, replay or bonus in each game In the RT2 state where it is possible to win in, the different game characteristic is actualized respectively.

  Also, in the RT2 state in which the probability of winning a replay is set to a high probability of about 1 / 1.5, the probability of winning a winning area "Normal Replay 1" and the probability of winning a winning area "Normal Replay 2" The assist time state (hereinafter referred to as the assist time) in which a winning assist control for assisting the winning of the specific part is executed by the indicating function state control means 400B. A so-called assist replay time game (hereinafter referred to as assist replay time), which is executed in RT2 state in which a game in the AT state is won with a higher probability of replay than other gaming states by starting “AT”). (Also described as "ART").

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

  In the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, in the bonus establishment state, the internal lottery table has a lower probability of winning of replay than the state of RT2 in which the probability of winning a small winning combination, replay or bonus is extremely high in the internal lottery. Is configured to execute an internal lottery. As described above, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when an internal lottery wins a winning area including RBB 1 or RBB 2, a lottery flag is carried over in an established state until the winning RBB 1 or RBB 2 wins. For this reason, in the slot machine 1, when the small winning combination or the replay is won in the internal lottery in the bonus establishment state, the small winning combination and the bonus or the replay and the bonus are simultaneously won. Further, as described above, in the slot machine 1, the priority is determined in the order of “replay> small part> bonus”. Further, in the slot machine 1, the special small winning combination 1 to special small winning combination 6, which is won when the pressing timing of the stop button B1 to stop button B3 is appropriate, and the special small winning combination 1 to special won when winning the winning combination. When the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are pressed at a pressing timing at which the small role 6 and the dropout role can not be won, it is configured such that none of the roles get dropped (not win).

  Therefore, in the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, the winning probability of the replay in the bonus formation state is set to be lower than the winning probability of the replay in the RT2 state, and the slot machine 1 can be lost (unwinning) in the internal lottery. By doing this, it is configured that a bonus may be independently won. As a result, in the slot machine 1, it becomes possible to win an RBB1 or RBB2 whose lottery flag continues to be set to the established state when the player has lost (not won) in the internal lottery in the bonus established state. .

  Next, among the gaming state transition control processing executed by the gaming state transition control means 170, the bonus state transition control processing will be described. The game state transition control means 170 operates RBB1 or RBB2 as a bonus state transition control process when a winning symbol combination of RBB1 or RBB2 is displayed on the activated line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130. A process of shifting the gaming state from the bonus established state to the first bonus state is executed. When transitioning to the first bonus state, the gaming state transition control means 170 starts processing of adding a value to a bonus end determination counter (not shown) which is a counter of the main storage means 190. From the first bonus state, transition to the non-RT state is possible. Specifically, in the first bonus state, the payout of more than 269 medals is executed, and the value stored in the bonus end determination counter corresponds to a predetermined number of payouts determined in advance (in the present embodiment, When the value "270" is reached, the game state is shifted to the non-RT state while the RBB1 or RBB2 is ended. In the first bonus state, the winning area "JAC" is set as the winning area of the small winning combination, and the internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table E set to win the winning area "JAC" with an extremely high probability is performed. .

  In addition, the gaming state transition control means 170 operates the CBB as a bonus state transition control process when the winning symbol combination of CBB is displayed on the effective line L1 by the reel stop control by the reel control means 130. Execute processing to shift the gaming state in the game in which CBB is won to the second bonus state. When transitioning to the second bonus state, the gaming state transition control means 170 starts processing to add a value to the bonus end determination counter. From the second bonus state, it is possible to shift to the gaming state in the game in which the CBB is won. Specifically, when the second bonus state is started by winning the CBB while the gaming state is in the non-RT state and the CBB wins, payout of medals exceeding 27 is executed, and the bonus ends. A game in which the CBB is ended and the gaming state is won by the CBB when the value stored in the determination counter reaches a value corresponding to a predetermined number of payouts (in the present embodiment, the value “28”) Transition to the non-RT state which is the state.

  The advantageous period control means 400A is an advantageous period (advantage zone) in which a game capable of executing the prize assistance control for assisting the winning of the specific combination is executed and a period in which the game in which the prize assistance control is not executed is executed. Execute control related to transition between a certain non-preferred period (non-preferred interval). The advantage period control means 400A of the present embodiment, as a control relating to the transition between the advantage period and the non-interest period, in the game within the non-advantage period, the set value stored in the set value storage means 191 If the winning probability does not change even if the value is and the winning area can be won in any gaming state from the non-RT state to the RT2 state, that is, if it is won in the winning area having no setting difference, The advantageous period lottery, which is a lottery for determining whether or not to end the advantageous period and start the advantageous period, is executed. The advantageous period control means 400A is configured not to execute the advantageous period transition lottery even when the player is in the winning area having no setting difference when the gaming state is the bonus establishment state.

  In the advantageous period transition lottery, the advantageous period control means 400A first associates “a start of an advantageous period” and “a loss (not won)” with each of a plurality of random numbers from the advantageous period control data storage means 197. The advantageous period transition lottery table, which is a data table, is acquired. Then, the advantageous period control unit 400A acquires a random number from the random number generation unit 110, compares the acquired random number with the advantageous period transition lottery table, and determines whether to start the advantageous period based on the comparison result. The advantageous period control data storage unit 197 also stores various flags that are set to the ON state or the OFF state in a predetermined control process executed by the advantageous period control unit 400A within the advantageous period.

  When the condition for ending the advantageous period is satisfied, the advantageous period control means 400A executes the end processing, which is processing for ending the advantageous period and starting the non- advantageous period from the next game. Further, the advantageous period control unit 400A lights the advantageous period notifying unit 500A when the advantageous period is started, and turns off the advantageous period notifying unit 500A when the non- advantageous period is started.

  In this embodiment, the winning area, which is a trigger for the advantageous period control means 400A to execute the advantageous period transition lottery by winning in the internal lottery, is a winning area “run order bell 1” to a win area “run order bell 6” The area "common bell role", the winning area "raa role", the winning area "drop-off role", the winning area "normal replay 1", the winning area "reary play", the winning area "RBB1", and the winning area "CBB" and.

  When the advantage period is started by the advantage period control means 400A, the indication function state control means 400B executes processing (prevention aid control) related to the operation of the indication function for assisting the winning of the specific part and prize assistance control. Processing other than processing related to the operation of the instruction function such as processing related to the transition of the instruction function state among a plurality of instruction function states including the AT state which is a possible state (instruction function process); Perform such control (assist time control). In the present embodiment, the indication function state control means 400B differs according to the winning area in which the internal lottery means 120 has won as the indication function activation process, when the indication function state is a state capable of executing the prize assistance control. By generating a win command and transmitting the created win command to the main control display device 500, it is informed which win area is the win area selected in the internal lottery, and the player is notified by the stop button B1 to stop. The notification display, which is a function (instruction function) for instructing the operation method of the button B3, is configured to be able to execute pay assist control, which is control executed by the main control display device 500.

Run. For example, when the winning command indicating that the winning area "batning bell 1" has been won in the internal lottery is transmitted from the internal lottery means 120, the effect control means 180 can produce the correct order for the correct winning order that can win the bell. Execute the prize assistance effect notified by.

  Next, details of the advantageous period in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing details of the non-advantage period and the advantage period controlled by the advantage period control means 400A of the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 6, the non-advantagement period is a period during which the winning function supplementary control by the pointing function state control means 400B is not executed. When the advantageous period control means 400A determines “start of the advantageous period” in the advantageous period transition lottery triggered by winning in the winning areas other than the winning area “RBB1” and the winning area “CBB”, that is, the advantageous period When winning by the transition lottery, when winning by the advantage period transition lottery triggered by winning to the winning area "RBB1", and when RBB is won in the game winning to the winning area "RBB1", and the winning area " If CBB wins in the game where it is won by the advantageous period transition lottery triggered by winning the "CBB" and the game is won in the elected area "CBB", the non-advantage period ends in the current game and the next game Start a favorable period from In addition, when the advantageous period control means 400A is won by the advantageous period transition lottery triggered by the winning area “RBB1”, and the RBB does not win in the game winning the elected area “RBB1”, this time End the non-advantage period with the game of and start the standby period from the next game.

  The waiting period is a period in which all processing relating to the instruction function by the advantageous period control means 400A is prohibited. When the standby period is started, the advantageous period control unit 400A continues the standby period until the RBB 1 wins, and when the RBB 1 wins, the standby period ends in the game in which the RBB 1 wins, and the advantageous period starts from the next game. Start.

  The advantageous period is a period in which processing relating to the indication function by the indication function state control means 400B can be performed. When the advantageous period is started, the advantageous period control unit 400A sets a value (for example, 1,500 games) corresponding to a predetermined number of games to the advantageous period end determination counter 198 of the main storage unit 190 from the game starting the advantageous period. When one game is executed, the value "1" corresponding to one game is subtracted (updated) from the stored value of the advantage period end determination counter 198, and a game of 1500 games is executed. That is, when the stored value of the advantageous period end determination counter 198 becomes the value “0”, it is determined that the specific end condition is satisfied as the condition for ending the advantageous period, and the advantageous period is ended and the next game is not advantageous Execute termination processing to start the period. In addition, the advantageous period control means 400A determines whether or not at least one winning aiding control is performed or the RBB1 or RBB2 is activated during the advantageous period, and whether or not the advantageous period is ended. If it is determined that "the end of the advantage period", it is determined that the normal termination condition is satisfied as a condition for ending the advantage period, and the termination period is executed to end the advantage period and start the non-agreement period from the next game. Do. At the time of execution of the termination process, the advantageous period control means 400A initializes all the information used in various control processes in the advantageous period such as the flags set in the ON state in the advantageous period and the value set in the advantageous period.

  The advantageous period control unit 400A subtracts the value "1" from the stored value of the advantageous period end determination counter each time one game is executed even when the RBB 1 or RBB 2 wins during the advantageous period. In addition, the instructed function state control means 400B is a winning area which is a winning area in which the probability of winning fluctuates according to the setting value stored in the setting value storage means 191 and when the gaming state becomes the bonus establishment state during the advantage period. In the case where RBB2 which is a bonus included in "RBB2" is activated, the control related to the instruction function based on the winning area won by the internal lottery by internal lottery means 120 excluding the prize supplementary control is not executed. It is done.

  The operation record control means 600 is provided on the main control unit 10, and the result (operation ratio) of control using the operation record which is a value recorded from the initial operation of the main control unit 10 is a ratio as an operation record display device The various controls for enabling display on the display device 610 are executed. Here, the initial operation, which is the time to start recording the operation record, refers to the time when the slot machine 1 is manufactured and completed, and the first game is played, and it is the first time the shipping inspection in the factory manufacturing the slot machine 1 When a game is played, it means the time when the game is executed for the first time at the time of the shipping inspection, and when the game is executed for the first time after being installed in the game arcade, it is installed in the game arcade Means when it was first run.

  Note that the operation record control means 600 sets, as the time of initial operation, the time when the game is executed for the first time after being installed in the game arcade as the time of initial operation, even if the game is played at the time of shipping inspection. Also, even if the game arcade clerk has played a game for confirmation (inspection) after being installed in the game arcade, the first game is executed by the player instead of the game arcade clerk You may set the time when it was started as the time of initial operation.

  First, among the control using the operation record performed by the operation record control unit 600, the calculation processing related to the operation ratio displayed by the ratio display device 610 will be described. The operation record control means 600 of the present embodiment calculates the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine by the advantageous period stay ratio, which is the ratio of the total number of gaming times of the advantageous period to the total number of games The continuous character ratio, which is the ratio of the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine during the operation of the special character of type 1 to the number of awards of value, and the number of medals played The character ratio, which is the ratio of the number of medals paid out by the machine, is calculated.

  In the present embodiment, the operation record control means 600 calculates the value of the continuous role ratio and the feature ratio in the game 6000 times and the total game frequency. Here, the property is a special device for facilitating winning, and as the property, a type 1 special type (regular bonus (RB)), a type 2 special type (challenge bonus (CB) ), Ordinary character (single bonus (SB)), etc. exist. That is, the continuous character ratio is a ratio of the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine during the operation of RB to the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine, and the character ratio is RB relative to the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine , CB or SB is the ratio of the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine.

  First, the method of calculating the advantageous period stay ratio will be described. In the present embodiment, the number of games and the number of advantageous period games are counted as data for calculating the advantageous period stay ratio. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the main storage unit 190 advantageously stores a total game number counter 204 (an example of a total game number storage unit) for storing the total game number and the total number of game times in the advantageous period. A period game number counter 205 (an example of the advantage period game number storage means) is provided, and these counters are constituted by each 3-byte storage area preset in RWM of the main control unit 10, and the maximum storable memory A value (that is, a value “for example, a value“ for example, a value “for example, an upper limit value which is an upper limit of a storable value can be stored in a 3-byte storage area from a capacity (3 bytes) preset in RWM of 16777215 ").

  Then, the operation record control means 600 increments and updates the stored value of the total game number counter 204 by adding a fixed value (for example, the value “1”) corresponding to one game every time one game is played. I do. In the present embodiment, when the stored value of the total game number counter 204 is equal to or less than the upper limit value and the total game number counter 204 can be incremented and updated, the game state transition control means 170 controls when a game is played. Increment update of the total game number counter 204 is performed regardless of the game state and the period controlled by the advantageous period control means 400A. On the other hand, with regard to the advantageous period game frequency counter 205, each time one game is played only when it is the advantageous period, the stored value of the advantageous period game frequency counter 205 corresponds to one game Increment update is performed to add a constant value "1". Note that the update of the advantageous period game number counter 205 is started from the next game of the game in which the advantageous period transition lottery is won in the non advantageous period. However, when winning the advantageous period transition lottery based on the RBB 1 or CBB, it is started from the next game of the game in which the bonus is won (the game in which the transition process to the advantageous period is performed). As described above, the operation record control unit 600 according to the present embodiment updates the total number of games stored in the total game number counter 204 every time one game is played, and one game is executed during the advantageous period. An update process is performed to update the total number of game times of the advantageous period stored in the advantageous period game number counter 205 each time it is received.

  Then, the operation record control means 600 is based on the total number of games (A1) stored in the total game number counter 204 and the total number (A2) of number of games in the advantage period stored in the advantage period game number counter 205. , “A2 × 100) / A1” is performed to calculate the stay ratio (%) of the advantageous period, and the calculated advantageous period stay ratio is overwritten on a predetermined storage area of the ratio storage unit 203 and stored. Let In addition, the operation record control means 600 of the present embodiment calculates the stay ratio of the advantageous period every game, and specifically, the total number of games is updated every time one game is played, and the advantageous period is After performing update processing to update the total number of games during the advantageous period, the advantageous period stay ratio is calculated.

  Subsequently, a method of calculating the continuous character product ratio and the character product ratio will be described. In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, RBB (RBB1, RBB2) and CBB are provided as a bonus. In RBB, RB operates continuously regardless of the display of winning combination of RB, and in CBB, CB operates continuously regardless of the display of winning combination of CB There is. Then, the operation record control means 600 of the present embodiment, as data for calculating the continuous character ratio and the character ratio, the number of payouts, which is the number of medals paid out by the slot machine 1, the type 1 special character The number of continuous game payouts, which is the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine during operation, and the number of bonus payouts, which is the number of medals paid out by the gaming machine during operation of the bonus game, are counted.

  Specifically, when the operation record control means 600 is in the first bonus state, which shifts with the winning of the RBB, the RB which is the first kind special role is operating in all the games. From the first bonus state, the number of payouts in the first bonus state is added up as the number of consecutive role payouts and the number of feature payouts, and when it is the second bonus status that shifts with the CBB prize, one of the features in all games. Since one CB is in operation, the number of payouts in the second bonus state is counted only as the number of bonus payouts. That is, the operation record control means 600 of the present embodiment counts the number of payouts in the first bonus state as the number of consecutive prize payouts, and counts the number of payouts in the first bonus state or the second bonus status as the number of bonus payouts. . Furthermore, the operation record control means 600 of the present embodiment is one of the 15 divided games 6000 as data for calculating the continuous part ratio and the part ratio in 6000 times of games (an example of the predetermined aggregation period). While counting the number of payouts of the above three types of medals in 400 games (one example of a predetermined reference counting period) which is the number of games for a set, the above three types of 15 for a set of 400 with 400 games The number of medals paid out is individually counted for each set.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the main storage unit 190 of the present embodiment stores 400 times of total storage unit 199 that stores the total in 400 games for each of the number of payouts, the number of consecutive role payouts, and the number of feature payouts. 15 sets individual memory which individually stores 15 sets worth of data as one set of 400 games for each of the number of payouts, the number of payouts, the number of payouts of continuous features and the number of payouts of features for each set Means 200 (an example of a reference totaling period total individual storage means) and 15 sets total storing means 201 (a predetermined totaling period total storage storing a total of 15 sets for each of the number of payouts, the number of consecutive role payouts and the number of role payouts) An example of the means), and a total cumulative storage means 202 for storing the total cumulative for each of the number of payouts, the number of consecutive role payouts and the number of role payouts.

  In addition, the 400th cumulative total storage unit 199 stores a total of 400 first total counters 199a that store the total number of payouts in 400 games, and a 400th cumulative second counter 199b that stores the total number of consecutive prize payouts in 400 games And the 400th accumulation 3rd counter 199c which memorizes the total of the number of feature payouts in 400 times of games is provided. These counters are configured by 2-byte storage areas preset in the RWM of the main control unit 10.

  When one game is played, the operation record control means 600 has a value corresponding to the number of medals the slot machine 1 pays out to the stored value of the first 400 counter 199a except when the replay is won (for example, a value (for example, If one payout is to be generated, processing is performed to add a value "1" corresponding to the number of payouts of one medal. Note that, when the operation record control means 600 of the present embodiment executes the process of adding the stored value of the 400-time accumulated first counter 199a, the game state and advantage period control means controlled by the game state transition control means 170. The stored value of the 400-times accumulated first counter 199a is added regardless of the period controlled by 400A. In addition, the operation record control means 600 has a value corresponding to the number of medals the slot machine 1 pays out to the stored value of the 400-count accumulated second counter 199b only when the gaming state is the first bonus state (for example, 1 sheet) If a payout is generated, a process of adding a value “1” corresponding to the number of medals paid out for one sheet is performed. Also, the operation record control means 600 is a value equivalent to the number of medals that the slot machine 1 pays out to the stored value of the 400th accumulated third counter 199c only when the gaming state is the first bonus state or the second bonus state. A process is performed to add (for example, a value “1” corresponding to the number of medals paid out for one sheet).

  The operation record control means 600 transfers the data of the 400 cumulative storage means 199 to 15 sets of individual storage means 200 every 400 games played, and accumulates 400 times after the data of the total cumulative storage means 202 is updated. In order to initialize the storage unit 199, it is a counter of the main storage unit 190, and is a counter for determining whether or not 400 games worth of data have been recorded 400 times in the total storage unit 199 after being initialized. A stored value of the game 400 times counter 199d (see FIG. 2) is a fixed value (for example, value “1”) corresponding to one game every time one game is played, regardless of the existence of payout of medals Perform incremental update to add. When the stored value of the counter 199d becomes 400, the operation record control means 600 determines that 400 games worth of data have been recorded in the initialized 400 times total storage means 199. The data of the time total storage means 199 is transferred to the 15 sets individual storage means 200, and after the data of the total total storage means 202 is updated, the 400 times total storage means 199 and the game 400 times counter 199d are initialized.

  Thus, the operation record control unit 600 stores the total of 400 games in the total 400 storage unit 199. The operation record control means 600 is not limited to the configuration to determine whether or not 400 games have been played based on the stored value of the 400 times counter 199d, for example, the stored value of the total game number counter 204 It may be configured to make a determination based on

  As shown in FIG. 7, the 15 sets individual storage means 200 individually sets 15 sets of data for each set of 400 games as one set for each of the number of payouts, the number of continuous role payouts, and the number of feature payouts. As storage areas to be stored, 15 areas of 2 bytes each set in advance in the RWM of the main control unit 10 are provided for each number of payouts. In each storage area of the 15 sets individual storage means 200, data of the total in 400 games (1 set) is stored. 15 storage areas individually storing 15 sets of individual totals for each set for the number of payouts, 15 storage areas individually storing 15 sets of individual totals for each set for the number of consecutive role product withdrawals, and bonus distribution Each of the 15 storage areas that individually stores 15 sets of individual totals for each set of numbers stores data sequentially from the top of the storage area, and the ring buffer stores the data back to the beginning when the storage area is completed Is configured as. Therefore, for example, in the case where the sixteenth set of data is stored in a state where the fifteenth set of individual storage means 200 stores the first to fifteenth sets of data, the first set of data is stored in the storage area. The sixteenth set of data is overwritten, whereby the latest data is overwritten and stored on the first stored data.

  Further, 15 sets of total storage means 201 are each 3 bytes preset in the RWM of the main control unit 10 as a storage area for storing the total of 15 sets for each of the number of payouts, the number of continuous product payouts and the number of character payouts. Total cumulative first counter 202a for storing the total cumulative number of payouts, a total cumulative second counter 202b for storing the total cumulative number of consecutive role product payouts, and A total cumulative third counter 202c for storing the total cumulative is provided. The total cumulative first counter 202 a to the total cumulative third counter 202 c are each constituted by 3-byte storage areas preset in RWM of the main control unit 10, and the upper limit value which is the upper limit of the storable value is The capacity (3 bytes) set in advance in the RWM of the main control unit 10 is a value (for example, a value “16777215”) that can be stored in a 3-byte storage area.

  And the operation record control means 600 is in the game 400 times concerning each of the number of payouts stored in the 400 cumulative storage means 199, the number of continuous bonus game payouts and the number of bonus game payouts every time 400 games are played. The accumulated data (stored values of the 400th accumulated first counter 199a, the 400th accumulated second counter 199b and the 400th accumulated third counter 199c) are transferred to the 15 sets individual storage unit 200 and stored. As described above, the operation record control unit 600 according to the present embodiment is configured to store the number of payouts, the number of continuous product payouts, and the number of feature payouts stored in the 400 cumulative storage unit 199 every time 400 games are played. The total data of 400 games for each is stored in 15 sets of individual storage means 200, and after 6,000 times of games have elapsed, the payout stored in total memory means 400 for 400 times every 400 games have passed The cumulative data in 400 games related to the number is written over the cumulative data in 400 games related to the number of payouts stored first in 15 sets individual storage means 200 and stored in 400 cumulative memory means 199 Cumulative data in 400 games regarding the number of consecutive winnings paid out are stored first in 15 sets individual storage means 200 Accumulated data in 400 games related to the number of bonus game payouts is stored by overwriting, and stored in 400 cumulative total storage means 199: 15 sets of cumulative data in 400 games played in total for the number of games, 15 sets The accumulated data in the 400 games related to the number of bonus game pieces stored first in 200 is overwritten and stored.

  In addition, the operation record control means 600 updates the total of 15 sets for each of the number of payouts, the number of consecutive bonus game payouts, and the number of bonus game payouts every time 400 games are played. Specifically, when the latest data is stored in the 15 sets individual storage means 200, the operation record control means 600 sums up the number of payouts for 15 sets stored in the 15 sets individual storage means 200, 15 A total of 15 consecutive sets of payouts and a total of 15 sets of total payouts are calculated, and the calculated total of 15 sets is overwritten and stored in a predetermined storage area of 15 sets of cumulative storage means 201. Update the total of 15 sets by.

  Then, the operation record control means 600 is based on the total (B1) of 15 sets of the number of payouts and the total (B2) of 15 sets of the number of continuous role product payouts stored in the 15 set total storage means 201. A process of calculating (B2 × 100) / B1 ”to calculate the continuous character ratio (%) in the game 6000 times, and a total of 15 sets of the number of payouts stored in the 15 set total storage unit 201 (B1 ) Based on the total (B3) of 15 sets of the number of role payouts, calculate “(B3 × 100) / B1” and calculate the percentage (%) of the role in 6000 times of games. The continuous character product ratio and character product ratio are overwritten and stored in a predetermined storage area of the ratio storage unit 203.

  As described above, the operation record control unit 600 according to the present embodiment updates the total of 15 sets for each of the number of payouts, the number of continuous role payouts, and the number of role payouts every time 400 games are played. By calculating, the continuous character ratio and the character ratio in the game 6000 times are calculated.

  The operation record control means 600 counts the number of medals the slot machine 1 pays out to the storage value of the total cumulative first counter 202a of the total cumulative storage means 202 unless a replay is won when one game is played. A process of adding a corresponding value (for example, a value “1” corresponding to the number of medals paid out for one sheet in the case where the payout of one medal is generated) is performed. The operation record control unit 600 according to the present embodiment adds the value corresponding to the number of payouts to the total cumulative first counter 202a, even if the number of payouts is added to the stored value of the total cumulative first counter 202a. When it is possible to execute the process of adding the number of payouts to the stored value of the total cumulative first counter 202a, the gaming state and advantage period control means 400A controlled by the gaming state transition control means 170 are controlled. The stored value of the total cumulative first counter 202a is added regardless of the period. In addition, the operation record control means 600 has a value corresponding to the number of medals that the slot machine 1 pays out to the stored value of the total accumulated second counter 202b only when the gaming state is the first bonus state (for example, 1 piece If the payout of medals occurs, processing is performed to add a value "1" corresponding to the number of medals paid out for one sheet. Further, the operation record control means 600 sets a value corresponding to the number of medals which the slot machine 1 pays to the stored value of the total cumulative third counter 202c only when the gaming state is the first bonus state or the second bonus state For example, in the case where payout of one medal occurs, a process of adding a value “1” corresponding to the number of payouts of one medal is performed.

  As described above, the operation record control unit 600 accumulates and counts each of the number of payouts, the number of continuous symbol payouts, and the number of symbol payouts in the total cumulative storage unit 202 (total payout (total number of payouts, continuous symbol payouts).

FIG. 13 is a flowchart for explaining, among the operation record arithmetic processing, a numerical value indicating a continuous winning character ratio in the total number of games, a numerical value indicating a random item ratio in the total number of games, and processing for calculating.

  In the operation record calculation process, first, the operation record control means 600 executes a game number counting process for counting the number of games. In the number-of-games counting process, the operation record control unit 600 first executes the number-of-times adding process which is a process for adding the storage value of the total number-of-games counter 204 (S1). In this process, the operation record control unit 600 adds a value “1”, which is a value corresponding to one game, to the total game number counter 204 since one game has been executed. A number addition process is performed to calculate the result of adding the value “1” to the stored value 204.

  Next, the operation record control means 600 determines whether the value calculated by the number-of-times addition process executed in the process of step S1 exceeds the upper limit value that can be stored in the total game number counter 204 (S2). In this process, the operation record control means 600 has an upper limit which allows the value calculated by the number addition process to be stored in the 3-byte total game number counter 204 having a capacity preset in the RWM of the main control unit 10. It is determined whether it exceeds the value.

  If the operation record control means 600 determines that the value calculated in the count addition process exceeds the upper limit value of the total game count counter 204 (YES), the value calculated in the count addition process is the total game count counter 204, That is, the process proceeds to step S4 without being stored in the RWM of the main control unit 10. On the other hand, when the operation record control means 600 determines that the value calculated in the number addition process does not exceed the upper limit value of the total game number counter 204 (NO), one game is executed, so 1 Increment update is executed to add the value "1" corresponding to the game to the stored value of the total game number counter 204 (S3). In this process, the operation record control means 600 stores the result of the number addition process executed in the process of step S1 in the RWM of the main control unit 10 by adding 1 to the stored value of the total game number counter 204.

  After executing the process of step S3, or when it is determined in the process of step S2 that the value calculated by the number addition process exceeds the upper limit value of the total game number counter 204 (YES), the operation record control means 600 It is determined whether or not the winning combination in the current game is replay (S4). In this process, the operation record control means 600 determines whether or not the replay has won in the current game, thereby to the value stored in the area storing the information related to the payout of the medal, ie, the game value to be awarded. It is determined whether or not the assigned value, which is the corresponding value, is set by the replay winning.

  If it is determined in the process of step S4 that the replay has won in the current game (YES), the operation record control means 600 may pay out the medals from the hopper unit 320 although the medals are re-inserted. It is determined that the assigned value is stored in the area storing information related to the payout of medals based on the winning of no replay, and that the assigned value is added to the total cumulative storage means 202 even though the payout of medals is not executed. In order to prevent this, the operation record operation process is ended.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S4 that the replay has not been won in the current game (NO), the operation record control unit 600 performs the total accumulation stored in the total accumulation counter upper limit flag storage unit 206. It is determined whether the counter upper limit flag is in the ON state (S5). In this process, the operation record control means 600 has already executed the number-of-payouts addition process of the total cumulative first counter 202a by the previous game by determining whether the total cumulative counter upper limit flag is ON or not. In this case, the sum of the stored value of the total cumulative first counter 202a and the assigned value is equal to or more than the value “16777215” which is the first upper limit value, and the value may be added to the stored value of the total cumulative first counter 202a If it is determined that the total accumulation counter upper limit flag is in the ON state (YES), the operation recording calculation processing is ended without executing the processing after step S6. Do.

  Thus, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment sets the total cumulative counter upper limit flag to ON state once the stored value of the total cumulative first counter 202a becomes equal to or more than the upper limit value, and thereafter the total cumulative total By omitting the execution of the process related to the addition of the grant value to the first counter 202a to the total cumulative third counter 202c, the total cumulative total in the game after the stored value of the total cumulative first counter 202a becomes the upper limit value or more The grant value is added to the stored value of the second counter 202b and the total cumulative third counter 202c, and the continuous character ratio in the actual total number of games, the character ratio in the total number of games and the total cumulative first counter 202a-total It is possible to prevent divergence between the continuous character ratio in the total number of games calculated from the cumulative third counter 202c and the character ratio in the total number of games .

  In addition, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment sets the total cumulative counter upper limit flag to the ON state once when the stored value of the total cumulative first counter 202a becomes equal to or more than the upper limit value, and the total cumulative first number thereafter. Processing pertaining to the addition of the grant value to the counter 202a to the total cumulative third counter 202c and calculation of the continuous character ratio in the total number of games and the character ratio in the total number of games execution of the processing of step S6 to step S16 of the processing Since it can be omitted, the processing concerning the addition of the grant value to the total cumulative first counter 202a to the total cumulative third counter 202c, and the processing of calculating the continuous character ratio in the total number of games and the character ratio in the total number of games The processing speed in the control related to the control can be improved, and the operation record operation process which is control using the operation record executes the interrupt process (about 1.4 ms) becomes longer time than, that one interrupt processing can no longer be performed, it is possible to prevent the influence on the progress of the game.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S5 that the total cumulative counter upper limit flag is in the OFF state (NO), the operation recording control unit 600 performs processing for adding the storage value of the total cumulative first counter 202a. The number-of-payouts addition processing of the total cumulative first counter 202a, which is the above, is executed (S6). In this process, the operation record control means 600 stores the total cumulative first counter 202a in order to add an assigned value, which is a value corresponding to the number of medals paid out in the current game, to the total cumulative first counter 202a. A payout amount addition process of the total cumulative first counter 202a is performed to calculate the result of adding the assigned value to the value.

  Next, the operation record control means 600 determines whether the value calculated by the payout amount addition process of the total cumulative first counter 202a executed in the process of step S6 exceeds the upper limit value that can be stored in the total cumulative first counter 202a. It is determined whether or not it is (S7). In this process, the operation record control means 600 determines that the value calculated by the payout number addition process of the total cumulative first counter 202a is a total cumulative first of 3 bytes whose capacity is preset in the RWM of the main control unit 10. It is determined whether it exceeds the value "16777215" which is the first upper limit value that can be stored in the counter 202a.

  When it is determined in the process of step S7 that the value calculated in the payout amount addition process of the total cumulative first counter 202a does not exceed the upper limit value of the total cumulative first counter 202a (NO), the operation record control unit 600 The added value is added to the stored value of the total cumulative first counter 202a (S8). In this process, the operation record control means 600 adds the assigned value to the total cumulative first counter 202a to obtain the result of the payout number addition process of the total cumulative first counter 202a executed in the process of step S6 as the main control unit. Remember to 10 RWM.

  After executing the process of step S8, the operation record control means 600 determines whether or not the current game is a game in the bonus state (S9). In this process, the operation record control means 600 determines whether any one of RBB1, RBB2 or CBB has been activated in the current game, and neither bonus has been activated nor the current game. When it is determined that the game is a game other than the bonus state (NO), the process proceeds to step S15 without executing the process of step S10 to step S14.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S9 that either RBB1, RBB2 or CBB has been activated (YES), the operation record control unit 600 adds the stored value of the total cumulative third counter 202c. The number-of-payouts addition processing of the total-accumulation third counter 202c, which is the processing of step S10, is executed (S10). In this process, the operation record control means 600 stores the total cumulative third counter 202c in order to add an assigned value, which is a value corresponding to the number of medals paid out in the current game, to the total cumulative third counter 202c. The number-of-payouts addition processing of the total-accumulation third counter 202c is performed to calculate the result of adding the assigned value to the value.

  Next, the operation record control means 600 adds the assigned value to the stored value of the total cumulative third counter 202c (S11). In this process, the operation record control means 600 adds the assigned value to the total cumulative third counter 202c to obtain the result of the payout number addition process of the total cumulative third counter 202c executed in the process of step S10 as the main control unit. Remember to 10 RWM.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the payout number addition process of the total cumulative third counter 202c is executed, the stored value of the total cumulative third counter 202c exceeds the second upper limit value which becomes the storable upper limit. However, since the second upper limit value is set to the value "16777215" equal to the first upper limit value, the medals are paid out each time the bonus is activated, that is, the total cumulative first counter 202a This is limited to the case where the stored value of the total cumulative first counter 202a exceeds the first upper limit which is the storable upper limit by executing the number-of-payouts addition processing simultaneously with the total cumulative total in the process of step S7. If the first upper limit value is not exceeded even if the addition value is added to the stored value of the first counter 202a, the total cumulative third flag is inevitably output even if the total payout third counter 202c's payout number addition processing is executed. Since the value stored in the pointer 202c never exceeds the second upper limit value, the total cumulative second number is determined without determining whether the second upper limit value has been exceeded after execution of the payout amount addition processing of the total cumulative third counter 202c. The added value is added to the stored value of the three counter 202c.

  With this configuration, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment can improve the processing speed in the processing related to the addition of the assigned value to the total cumulative third counter 202c, and operation recording arithmetic processing which is control using operation recording Since it takes a longer time than the cycle (about 1.49 ms) of executing the interrupt processing and one interrupt processing is not executed, it is possible to prevent the influence on the progress of the game.

  After executing the process of step S11, the operation record control means 600 determines whether or not the current game is a game in the first bonus state (S12). In this process, the operation record control means 600 determines whether or not either RBB1 or RBB2 has been activated in the current game, and neither RBB1 nor RBB2 has been activated and the current game When it is determined that the game is in the second bonus state (NO), the process proceeds to step S15 without executing the process of steps S13 and S14.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S12 that either RBB1 or RBB2 has been activated (YES), the operation record control means 600 is a process for adding the storage value of the total cumulative second counter 202b. The number-of-payouts addition processing of the total cumulative second counter 202b, which is the above, is executed (S13). In this process, the operation record control unit 600 stores the total cumulative second counter 202 b in order to add the grant value, which is a value corresponding to the number of medals paid out in the current game, to the total cumulative second counter 202 b. The number-of-payouts addition processing of the total-accumulation second counter 202b is performed to calculate the result of adding the assigned value to the value.

  Next, the operation record control means 600 adds the assigned value to the stored value of the total cumulative second counter 202b (S14). In this process, the operation record control means 600 adds the assigned value to the total cumulative second counter 202b to obtain the result of the payout number addition process of the total cumulative second counter 202b executed in the process of step S13 as the main control unit. Remember to 10 RWM.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the payout count addition process of the total cumulative second counter 202 b is executed, the stored value of the total cumulative second counter 202 b exceeds the third upper limit value which can be stored. However, since the third upper limit value is set to the value "16777215" equal to the first upper limit value, the medals are paid out each time when the continuous role is activated, that is, the total cumulative first counter 202a This is limited to the case where the stored value of the total cumulative first counter 202a exceeds the first upper limit value which can be stored by executing the number-of-payouts addition process at the same time as the total upper limit in the process of step S7. If the first upper limit is not exceeded even if the addition value is added to the stored value of the cumulative first counter 202a, the total cumulative first even if the payout count addition process of the total cumulative second counter 202b is performed Since the stored value of the counter 202b does not exceed the third upper limit value, the total cumulative third without determining whether the third upper limit value has been exceeded after execution of the payout amount addition processing of the total cumulative second counter 202b. The added value is added to the stored value of the 2-counter 202b.

  With this configuration, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment can improve the processing speed in the processing related to the addition of the assigned value to the total cumulative second counter 202b, and operation recording arithmetic processing which is control using operation recording Since it takes a longer time than the cycle (about 1.49 ms) of executing the interrupt processing and one interrupt processing is not executed, it is possible to prevent the influence on the progress of the game.

  After executing the process of step S14, if it is determined in the process of step S9 that the current game is a game in a game state other than the bonus state (NO), or the current game is the second in the process of step S12. If it is determined that the game is in the bonus state (NO), the operation record control means 600 calculates the continuous character ratio in the total number of games and the character ratio in the total number of games (S15), and the operation record End the calculation process. In this process, the operation record control unit 600 calculates the value of the continuous winning percentage in the total number of games and the value of the bonus ratio in the total number of games.

  When calculating the value in the total number of games of the continuous winning percentage, the operation record control means 600 stores in the total cumulative total (C1) of the number of payouts stored in the total cumulative first counter 202a and the total cumulative second counter 202b Based on the total cumulative number (C2) of the number of consecutive winnings paid out, the ratio of consecutive winnings (= (C2 × 100) / C1) (%) in the total number of games is calculated and stored in the ratio storing means 203.

  When calculating the value in the total number of games of the role ratio, the operation record control means 600 is stored in the total cumulative (C1) of the number of payouts stored in the total cumulative first counter 202a and the total cumulative third counter 202c Based on the total cumulative total (C3) of the number of consecutive winnings paid out, the symbol ratio (= (C3 × 100) / C1) (%) in the total number of games is calculated and stored in the ratio storage unit 203.

  In the process of step S7, when it is determined that the value calculated in the payout amount addition process of the total cumulative first counter 202a exceeds the first upper limit value of the total cumulative first counter 202a (YES), the operation record control unit 600. The total accumulation counter upper limit flag stored in the total accumulation counter upper limit flag storage unit 206 is set to the ON state (S16), and the operation recording arithmetic processing ends. In this process, the operation record control means 600 adds the assigned value to the stored value of the total cumulative first counter 202a by the payout number addition processing of the total cumulative first counter 202a at this time. Since the value that becomes the upper limit that can be stored is exceeded, the total cumulative counter upper limit flag is set to the ON state, and when the processing of step S5 from the next time is performed, the operation record calculation is performed without executing the processes after step S6. It is possible to finish the process.

  In addition, when the operation record control means 600 determines that the value calculated in the payout amount addition process of the total cumulative first counter 202a exceeds the first upper limit value of the total cumulative first counter 202a in the process of step S7 (YES) In step S7, execution of the process of step S8 to step S15 is skipped (omitted) and the process of step S16 is performed, and it is determined that the first upper limit value of the total cumulative first counter 202a is exceeded in the process of step S7. In this case, the storage values of the total accumulation first counter 202a to the total accumulation third counter 202c are not changed without adding the assigned values to the storage values of the total accumulation first counter 202a to the total accumulation third counter 202c. It is done.

  As described above, in accordance with the payout of medals (granting of gaming value), a step of adding a grant value, which is a value corresponding to medals to be paid out (gaming value to be credited), to the value stored in the total cumulative first counter 202a. The process of S6 constitutes the cumulative addition process in the present embodiment. In addition, with the payout (the assignment of game value) of medals during the operation of the bonus, the value stored in the total cumulative third counter 202c is a value corresponding to the token to be paid out (game value to be granted) The process of step S10 of adding the points constitutes the cumulative feature adding process according to the present embodiment. In addition, the value corresponding to the medal to be paid out (game value to be given) to the value stored in the total cumulative second counter 202b along with the payout of the medal (the award of the game value) during the operation of the first kind special character The processing of step S13 of adding the assignment value which is the above constitutes the cumulative total winning combination addition processing in the present embodiment. Further, the processing (operation recording operation processing) of steps S1 to S16 shown in FIG. 13 including the processing of step S6, step S10 and step S13 constitutes the cumulative addition control in the present embodiment. Further, the process of step S7 that determines whether or not the stored value of the total cumulative first counter 202a exceeds the upper limit of the storable value by the process of step S6 constitutes the upper limit determination process according to the present embodiment. Further, when it is determined in the process of step S7 that the stored value of the total cumulative first counter 202a exceeds the upper limit of the storable value, the process of step S16 is executed, and in the subsequent operation record operation process, The process of step S6 to step S16 is skipped (omitted) to make it non-executing (the process of step S6, step S10 and step S13 is not executed, and the stored value of the total cumulative first counter 202a and the total cumulative second) The processing of step S5 (not changing the stored value of the counter 202b and the stored value of the total-accumulation third counter 202c) constitutes the non-execution processing in the present embodiment. In addition, the processing of step S15 for calculating the continuous character ratio in the total number of games and the character ratio in the total number of games is a cumulative character which is a ratio of the cumulative payout number in the present embodiment and the cumulative number of payouts. The accumulated role ratio calculating process which is the process of calculating the ratio is configured. Further, the continuous role ratio in the total number of games and the character ratio in the total number of games constitute the cumulative role ratio in the present embodiment. Further, the operation record control means 600 for transmitting and displaying the calculated cumulative combination rate to the ratio display device 610 constitutes a combination ratio control means in the present embodiment. Then, the ratio display device 610 capable of displaying the cumulative winning product ratio constitutes the ratio display device in the present embodiment.

<Summary of this embodiment>
As described above, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the payout of the total cumulative first counter 202a is performed when the operation record calculation process (see FIG. 13) is performed by the operation record control unit 600 when the payout of medals is performed. As a result of the number addition process, when the addition value is added to the stored value of the total cumulative first counter 202a and the first upper limit value is exceeded, the processing of step S8 to step S15 is skipped (omitted) to skip the total cumulative first The process of step S5 for not performing the process of step S6 to step S16 by skipping (omitting) the process of step S6 to step S16 in the subsequent operation recording calculation process without adding the assigned value to the counter 202a to the total cumulative third counter 202c By executing, the stored values of the total cumulative first counter 202 a to the total cumulative third counter 202 c are not changed.

  Therefore, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment maintains the continuous character ratio and the character ratio in the total game number in the exact total number of games just before the stored value of the total cumulative first counter 202a exceeds the upper limit value. It is possible to secure the accuracy of the ratio obtained from the cumulative number of game value grants.

4. Modified Example In the present embodiment, the operation record control unit 600 determines the total accumulation first counter as a result of the process of adding the number of payouts of the total accumulation first counter 202a in the process of step S7 of the operation recording arithmetic process (see FIG. 13). When it is determined that the stored value of 202a exceeds the first upper limit value, the process of step S16 is executed to set the total cumulative counter upper limit flag to the ON state, thereby performing step S6 when executing the process of step S5 thereafter. Although the non-execution of the process of step S16 is determined and the stored values of the total cumulative first counter 202a to the total cumulative third counter 202c are not changed, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, when the total cumulative counter upper limit flag is set to the ON state, the operation record control unit 600 adds a value “0” as an assigned value when the process of step S6 or the process of step S10 or step S13 is performed. Therefore, the values stored in the total cumulative first counter 202a to the total cumulative third counter 202c may not be changed, and after the processing of step S6, step S10, and step S13 is performed, the main control unit 10 The result of execution in RWM may be configured to be discarded without being stored, and if it is configured so as not to change the stored values of the total cumulative first counter 202 a to the total cumulative third counter 202 c The practical method is not limited to this embodiment.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the operation record control unit 600 is configured to determine whether or not the stored value of the total cumulative first counter 202a exceeds the upper limit of the storable value in the upper limit determination process. However, it is not limited to this. The operation record control means 600 also exceeds the upper limit of the value that can be stored after execution of the number-of-payouts addition processing of each counter for either or both of the total-accumulation second counter 202 b and the total-accumulation third counter 202 c. It may be configured to determine whether or not.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the operation record control unit 600 sets 3 for the first upper limit value that can be stored in the total cumulative first counter 202 a based on the capacity (3 bytes) preset in RWM of the main control unit 10. Although the value that can be stored in the byte capacity (for example, the value “16777215”) is set as the first upper limit value, the present invention is not limited to this, for example, a value that can be stored in the total cumulative first counter 202a, And as a predetermined value set in advance, a value not based on capacity, such as the value “15000000”, may be set as the first upper limit value. In addition, the operation record control means 600 sets a value not based on the capacity as the upper limit value also for the third upper limit value of the total cumulative second counter 202b and the second upper limit value of the total cumulative third counter 202c. Good. Further, the first upper limit value to the third upper limit value do not necessarily have to be the same value, and may be set to different values.

  When configured as described above, the operation record control unit 600 executes the number-of-payouts addition processing of each counter that adds the assigned value to the stored values of the total cumulative first counter 202 a to the total cumulative third counter 202 c. It is configured to determine whether or not the upper limit value that can be stored in each counter is exceeded, and when it is determined that any upper limit value can be stored in any of the counters, the assigned value in the operation record calculation process The counter needs to be configured to cancel the addition of the grant value for the counter that has determined that the upper limit value has not been exceeded.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the operation record control means 600 adds the number of payouts of medals to the stored values of the total cumulative first counter 202 a to the total cumulative third counter 202 c, it is set to each counter as a result of operation. If the upper limit value is exceeded, the upper limit value is stored for the counter that exceeds the upper limit value as a result of the calculation. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, information indicating that the upper limit value has been exceeded is stored. At the same time, a value exceeding the upper limit is set as a new memory value, and the memory value and the upper limit of each counter are calculated at the time of calculation of the continuous character ratio in the total game frequency and the character ratio in the total game frequency thereafter. It may be configured to calculate the continuous character ratio in the total number of games and the character ratio in the total number of games with reference to the presence or absence of information that the number has exceeded.

  Specifically, the operation record control means 600 executes, for example, the payout number addition processing of the total cumulative first counter 202a to the total cumulative first counter 202a having the stored value of the value "16777210" and totals the value "14" By adding to the stored value of the first counter 202a, the value "16777215" which is the first upper limit value of the total accumulated first counter 202a is exceeded, and the stored value is accumulated in the total accumulated third counter 202c of the value "11700014" If the payout count addition process of the third counter 202c is executed and the value “14” is added to the total cumulative third counter 202c, the value does not exceed the value “16777215” which is the second upper limit value of the total cumulative third counter 202c. For the total cumulative first counter 202a, the value "8", which is a value exceeding the value "16777215", is set as the stored value, and Stores information that exceeded the value for the total cumulative third counter 202c, and stores the value "11700028". Then, at the time of calculation of the character item ratio in the total number of games, the operation record control means 600, the value "8" which is the stored value of the total cumulative first counter 202a, and information that the first upper limit has been exceeded Using the value “16777224”, which is the value obtained by adding the first upper limit value to the current stored value of the total accumulated first counter 202a based on the information that the first upper limit value is exceeded, the bonus ratio in the total number of games May be configured to calculate

  When configured in this manner, the slot machine 1 continuously plays a continuous role in the total number of game times even when the number of medal payouts exceeds the capacity preset in the RWM of the main control unit 10. It is possible to calculate the feature ratio in the item ratio and the total number of games.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the slot machine 1 is configured by 3-byte storage areas for each of the total cumulative first counter 202 a to the total cumulative third counter 202 c, the total game number counter 204 and the advantageous period game number counter 205 However, the present invention is not limited to this, and at least one counter may be configured by 4 bytes, or may be configured by a storage area of 5 bytes or more.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the operation record control means 600 counts the number of payouts, the number of continuous role product payouts, and the number of feature metal payouts as the number-of-payouts aggregation processing, but is not limited thereto. If, for example, the slot machine 1 does not have RBB and RB as a bonus, the operation record control means 600 may count the number of payouts and the number of feature payouts when executing the number-of-payouts aggregation process. Further, if the slot machine 1 does not have any bonus, for example, the operation record control means 600 may count the number of payouts when executing the number-of-payouts count processing.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the operation record control unit 600 executes, in the operation record calculation process, the number-of-games counting process, the number-of-payouts counting process, and the ratio calculation process, but is not limited thereto. For example, when the slot machine 1 does not have a bonus and an advantage period, the operation record control means 600 executes the number-of-playings counting process and the number-of-payouts counting process in the operation recording calculation process. It should just be comprised. Further, for example, when the slot machine 1 has a configuration without an advantageous period, the operation record control unit 600 is configured to calculate a continuous part ratio and a part ratio as a ratio calculation process. If slot machine 1 does not have RBB and RB as a bonus and does not have an advantageous period, it is configured to calculate a role ratio as a ratio calculation process. Good.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the operation record control means 600 is configured to calculate the continuous character ratio in the game 6000 times, the character ratio in the game 6000 times, the continuous character ratio in the total number of games, and the character ratio in the total number of games Although it is comprised so that it may be calculated, not only this but for example, the continuous character ratio in game 6000 times and the character ratio in game 6000 times are calculated, The continuous character in total game frequency is calculated The ratio and the character ratio in the total number of games may not be calculated. Further, the operation record control means 600 calculates a continuous character ratio in the total number of games and a character ratio in the total number of games, and calculates a continuous character ratio in 6000 games and a character ratio in 6000 games , May not be calculated.

  That is, the operation record control means 600 executes processing for calculating the ratio of the elements that the slot machine 1 does not have, with respect to the three elements of the advantage period, the continuous character, and the character. If the elements for calculating the ratio are determined in advance even if they have any elements, the elements to be calculated are limited to arbitrary elements. It may be configured as follows. In such a configuration, the operation record control unit 600 may be configured to display the value “−−” on the ratio display device 610 for the display of the element not calculated. Specifically, for example, when the slot machine 1 does not have an advantageous period, the operation record control means 600 displays an identification symbol “7U” indicating an advantageous period stay ratio as a ratio display device when displaying the advantageous period stay ratio. While displaying on the display part of the upper two digits of 610, the value "-" is displayed on the display part of the lower two digits of the ratio display device 610 as a numerical value of the stay ratio of the advantageous period.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the slot machine 1 has, as a plurality of operation records displayed on the ratio display device 610, an advantage period stay ratio, a continuous character ratio in 6000 games, and a character ratio in 6000 games. Although it has a continuous character ratio in the total number of games and a character ratio in the total number of games, it is not limited to this, for example, a ratio display device of the ratio of the number of payouts in the advantageous period to the total number of games as the operation record It may be configured to display in 610, and the operation record displayed in the ratio display device 610 is not limited to this embodiment.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the operation record control means 600 is configured to sequentially display identification symbols and numerical values such as an advantage period stay ratio and the like on the ratio display device 610 based on the fact that the power is turned on. The present invention is not limited to this, for example, based on the fact that the front upper door UD or the front lower door DD is opened in the power-on state, the display of identification symbols and numerical values such as the advantage period stay ratio starts. The display of the identification symbols and numerical values such as the ratio of stay during the advantageous period may be ended based on the closing of the door UD or the front lower door DD.

  In addition, the operation record control means 600, for example, is performed (while not playing) until the medal is set to the inserted state to perform the next game after the winning determination processing is performed and the result of the game is determined. The display of identification symbols and numerical values such as the advantage period stay ratio is started based on pressing of the setting change button 280, and the advantage period stay ratio etc. based on the front upper door UD or the front lower door DD being closed. The display of the identification symbols and numerical values of may be terminated.

  Specifically, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, it is necessary to open the front lower door DD in order to operate the setting change button 280, and the front lower door DD is opened when the power is on.

The RB may be configured to have an RBB (hereinafter referred to as RBB3) that operates when the winning combination of RBs is displayed.

  When configured in this manner, the slot machine 1 shifts the gaming state to the first bonus state or the third bonus state different from the second bonus state when the RBB 3 wins. In the third bonus state, the slot machine 1 is configured to be able to execute an RBB normal game and an RB game. The slot machine 1 sets an RB as a lottery target while setting the winning probability of the small winning combination equal to the non-bonus state in the RBB general game, performs an internal lottery, the RB is won, and the winning symbol combination of the bonus is Based on what is displayed on the activated line L1, the RB is activated to start an RB game. In addition, the slot machine 1 performs internal lottery so that the small winning combination is won with a higher probability than in the non-bonus state in the RB gaming, and based on the number of games played in the RB state and the number of winnings on the small combination, It is determined whether or not the termination condition is established, and the number of games played in the RB state has reached a predetermined number (for example, 12) or the number of small winning combinations in the RB state has reached a predetermined number (for example, 8) The RB state is ended upon resumption of one of the end conditions of the done thing, and the RBB general game is resumed. Then, the slot machine 1 determines whether the termination condition is satisfied based on the total number of medals paid out by the RBB normal game and the RB game, and when the medal exceeding the predetermined scheduled number of payouts is paid out , And the third bonus state is ended, and the gaming state is returned to the non-bonus state.

  When configured in this way, the operation record control means 600 is in the middle of the third bonus state, and during the RBB general game, it is not during the operation of the first type special role, nor during the operation of the special item. Therefore, the number of medals paid out by the slot machine 1 is not counted as either the number of consecutive role payouts or the number of role payouts, and when an RB game is in progress, the type 1 special role is in operation. Since the token is in operation, the number of medals paid out by the slot machine 1 is counted as either the number of consecutive bonus payouts or the number of bonus payouts.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the slot machine 1 has the CBB in which the CB operates continuously as the CBB. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It may be configured to have a CBB (hereinafter referred to as CBB2) that the CB operates when the winning symbol combination is displayed.

  When configured in this manner, the slot machine 1 shifts the gaming state to a fourth bonus state different from the first bonus state to the third bonus state when the CBB 2 wins. In the fourth bonus state, the slot machine 1 is configured to be able to execute a CBB regular game and a CB game. The slot machine 1 sets the winning probability of the small winning combination equal to the non-bonus state in the RBB general game, sets the CB as the lottery target and performs the internal lottery, the CB is won, and the winning symbol combination of the bonus is Based on what is displayed on the activated line L1, the CB is activated to start CB gaming. In addition, the slot machine 1 forcibly sets the lottery flags of all the small winning combinations to the established state regardless of the result of the internal lottery in the CB game, and is triggered when one game is performed in the CB state. It is determined that the termination condition of the CB state is established, the CB state is terminated, and the CBB general game is resumed. Then, the slot machine 1 determines whether the termination condition is satisfied based on the total number of medals paid out by the CBB normal game and the CB game, and when the medal exceeding the predetermined scheduled number of payouts is paid out , And the fourth bonus state is ended, and the gaming state is returned to the non-bonus state.

  When configured in this way, the operation record control means 600 operates the other specialties even during the operation of the first type special role when the game is in the CBB general game among the games in the fourth bonus state. Since it is not above all, the number of medals paid out by the slot machine 1 is not counted as either the number of consecutive role payouts or the number of role payouts, and when a CB game is being played, the type 1 special role is operating. However, since the type 2 special role is not in operation, the number of medals paid out by the slot machine 1 is counted as the number of paid out features.

  The number of medals paid out by the slot machine 1 in the RBB regular game and the number of medals paid out by the slot machine 1 in the CBB regular game are not counted by the operation record control means 600 both as the number of consecutive role payouts and as the number of feature payouts. Is counted in the operation record control means 600 as the number of payouts, which is the number of medals paid out by the slot machine 1.

  In addition, when the operation record control means 600 of the present embodiment displays the continuous character ratio or character ratio in 6000 times of games, if the total number of games is less than 6000, the continuous in 6000 times of games It is configured to notify that the number of games has not reached 6000 times by blinking the identification symbol "6y" indicating the character ratio or the identification symbol "7y" indicating the character ratio in the game 6000 times It is also good. That is, the operation record control means 600 indicates the identification symbol "6y" indicating the continuous character ratio in the game 6000 times if the total number of games is 6000 times or more or the identification symbol "indicating the character ratio in the game 6000 times 7y "is lit (displayed in the first mode or the normal mode), and when the total number of games is less than 6000, the identification symbol" 6y "indicating the continuous character ratio in the game 6000 times or the game The identification symbol "7y" indicating the character ratio in 6000 times may be displayed in a blinking manner (displayed in the second aspect or in a specific aspect).

  In addition, when the operation record control means 600 displays a continuous character ratio or character ratio in the advantageous period stay ratio or the total number of games, the total number of games is less than a predetermined number of times (for example, 175,000 times) The identification symbol “7U” indicating the advantageous period stay ratio, when the continuous stay ratio or the total game number in the period stay ratio or the total number of games does not count enough data to converge) The identification symbol “6A” indicating the continuous character ratio in the number or the identification symbol “7A” indicating the character ratio in the total game number may be displayed in a blinking manner. That is, when the total number of games is equal to or more than the predetermined number, the operation record control means 600 identifies the identification symbol "7U" indicating the stay ratio in the advantageous period, and the identification symbol "6A" indicating the continuous prize ratio in the total number of games. Or, if the identification symbol "7A" indicating the accessory ratio in the total number of games is lighted (displayed in the first mode or the normal mode), and the total number of games is less than the predetermined number of times (for example, 175,000 times) The display shows the identification symbol "7U" indicating the stay ratio for the advantageous period, the identification symbol "6A" indicating the continuous character ratio in the total number of games, or the identification symbol "7A" indicating the character ratio in the total number of games It may be configured to display in two aspects or in a specific aspect.

  In addition, when the operation record control means 600 causes the ratio display device 610 to display a numerical value such as an advantageous period stay ratio, the numerical value of the calculated ratio is less than a predetermined upper limit value with respect to the ratio.
