A game section control means for controlling state transition between a non-advantageous section that does not permit notification of an operation mode for the means and an advantageous section that allows the notification, and a betting in the game of the game value for each game Cumulative counting means for performing cumulative counting processing for accumulating the difference number based on the amount and the payout amount in the game and counting the cumulative difference number, and a game is played by the combination lottery means by the re-game combination group If the game is won, the cumulative difference is not changed based on the payout amount of the certain game, and the previous game of the certain game is played by the combination lottery means. In the case of a game won in the group, the cumulative difference number is not changed based on the bet amount in the certain game, and the end condition of the advantageous section is the maximum condition of the cumulative difference number in the advantageous section. Lower price and the lowest price As a base point, a first end condition is that the value of the cumulative difference number after the cumulative counting process at the present time in the advantageous section satisfies a predetermined condition, and a continuous game number in the advantageous section satisfies a specific condition. A second end condition is provided, and the game section control means performs control to end the advantageous section when either the first end condition or the second end condition is satisfied. Yes.

  According to this configuration, even if the number of consecutive games in the advantageous section is before the specific condition, the lowest value of the cumulative difference number in the advantageous section and the current cumulative count processing in the advantageous section after the lowest value as a base point If the cumulative difference number satisfies the predetermined condition, the advantageous section ends. For this reason, it is possible to suppress excessive acquisition of gaming value in the advantageous section.

  In addition, when a certain game is a game won in the re-game role group, the cumulative difference number is not changed based on the payout amount in the certain game, and the game immediately before the certain game is changed. In the case of a game won in the re-gamer group, the cumulative difference number is not changed based on the bet amount in the certain game. For this reason, the cumulative difference number can be accurately counted.

  Further, as the end condition of the advantageous section, the third end condition different from the first end condition and the second end condition is further provided, and the game section control means includes the first end condition, You may make it perform control which complete | finishes the said advantageous area when either said 2nd completion | finish condition and said 3rd completion | finish condition are satisfied.

  According to this configuration, by providing a plurality of termination conditions with different targets, it is possible to further suppress excessive acquisition of gaming value in a multifaceted advantageous section.

  In addition, the gaming machine may further include a specific notification unit that performs specific notification that can identify the advantageous section, and the specific notification unit does not perform the specific notification even in the advantageous section. In addition, the cumulative counting unit may perform the cumulative counting process in the advantageous section regardless of whether or not the specific notification is performed by the specific notification unit.

  According to this configuration, since a cumulative counting process is performed even for a game that is not specified notification in the advantageous section, it is for a game in a game that is not specified notification in the advantageous section. The value bet amount and the payout amount can be reflected in the cumulative difference number, and the difference between the total sum of the game value bet amount and the sum of the game value payout amount in the advantageous section can be correctly counted.

  The cumulative counting means may be configured to initialize the cumulative difference number regardless of the ending condition that is satisfied when any of the ending conditions of the advantageous section is satisfied and the advantageous section ends. Good.

  According to this configuration, the accumulated difference number is initialized regardless of the end condition under any end condition. Therefore, regardless of the end condition, the accumulated difference number is counted in the next advantageous section. Can be done correctly.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the game control means 100 is generally used in a normal gaming state (initial RT (RT0), normal RT (RT1), advantageous RT (RT2), bonus internal winning (RT3)). A bonus game is executed in a bonus game state (RBB1) that is more advantageous than the normal game state, and is shifted by winning a bonus combination (RBB1).

  Further, as a game advantageous to a player that is different from the bonus game which is a game in the bonus game state (RBB1), an operation procedure (this book) of each stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R is performed by a role lottery of the role lottery means 103 described later. The winning combination group “push order bell” with different number of medals to be paid out according to the “operation mode” of the invention (in this embodiment, the winning combination groups “left correct answer bell 1” to “left correct answer bell 4”, “ Medals corresponding to the winning group “push order bell” when winning the middle correct answer bell 1 to “middle correct answer bell 4” and “right correct answer bell 1” to “right correct answer bell 4” (see FIG. 7) There is an AT game that informs the operation procedure (push order) of each of the advantageous stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R that maximizes the number of payouts. The game control means 100 performs an AT game when the winning combination group “push order bell” is won by the role lottery means 103 in the game during the AT period of the advantageous section. Note that the winning combination group “push order bell” (in this embodiment, the winning combination groups “left correct answer bell 1” to “left correct answer bell 4”, “middle correct answer bell 1” to “middle correct answer bell 4”, “right correct answer”). “Bell 1” to “Right Correct Bell 4” (refer to FIG. 7) corresponds to the “special combination group having different game value acquired according to the operation mode of the plurality of stop operation means by the player” of the present invention.

a) Operation mode determination means 100a
4 determines the presence / absence of a player's operation on the slot machine 1 and a mode such as a long press, specifically, a bet switch 15, a maximum bet switch 17, a start switch 19, Various operations on the slot machine 1 by the player, such as modes of operation by the player for various switches such as the middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, and modes of operation for inserting medals by the player into the medal slot 25 To determine the mode.

b) Game state control means 100b
The gaming state control unit 100b is configured to set a plurality of game states set in advance based on the result of the combination lottery processing by the combination lottering unit 103, the determination result of the symbol combination on the active line (middle stage line) by the symbol determination unit 109, and the like. The gaming state of the slot machine 1 is set to any one of the above.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, in this embodiment, as the gaming state, initial RT (RT0), normal RT (RT1), advantageous RT (RT2), bonus internal winning (RT3), bonus gaming state (RBB1). The initial RT (RT0) is a gaming state that shifts when settings are changed as described later or after the bonus gaming state (RBB1) ends.

  As shown in FIG. 5, in the initial RT (RT0), the winning combination group “push order bell” (in this embodiment, the winning combination groups “left correct bell 1” to “left correct bell 4”, “middle correct bell 1”). ”To“ Medium correct answer bell 4 ”,“ Right correct answer bell 1 ”to“ Right correct answer bell 4 ”(see FIG. 7), if the game state is lost, the gaming state control means 100b sets the gaming state to normal RT (RT1). ) And the gaming state shifts to normal RT (RT1). It should be noted that the failure to remove the push order bells means that the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R were operated in a push order other than the advantageous push order (9 payouts) set in accordance with the winning group “push order bell”. This means that it was not possible to win the winning combination with the maximum number of payouts of the winning roles constituting the winning combination group “push order bell” (favorable payout).

  Further, in the normal RT (RT1), the winning combination group “RT2 transfer replay” (in this embodiment, the winning combination groups “RT2 transfer replay 1” to “RT2 transfer replay 3”) by the role lottery by the role lottery means 103: FIG. In the case of winning the promotion replay (in this embodiment, re-playing players “RP4”, “RP5”: see FIG. 6), the gaming state control means 100b makes the gaming state advantageous RT (RT2). The game state is set to advantageous RT (RT2). Further, in the advantageous RT (RT2), the winning combination group “push order bell” (in this embodiment, the winning combination groups “left correct answer bell 1” to “left correct answer bell 4”, “ If the winning answer is “correct answer bell 1” to “middle correct answer bell 4” or “right correct answer bell 1” to “right correct answer bell 4” (see FIG. 7), the gaming state control means 100b normally sets the gaming state. RT (RT1) is set, and the gaming state shifts to normal RT (RT1).

  In the initial RT (RT0), normal RT (RT1), and advantageous RT (RT2), a lottery drawing is performed using different lottery tables 671. For example, in normal RT (RT1), a lottery table 671 for normal RT is used. In this case, in the normal RT lottery table 671, for each set value, a predetermined lottery value is set for each winning combination group to be a target of lottery.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the winning combination group “bonus combination” (by a combination lottery by the combination lottery means 103 in the gaming state of any of initial RT (RT0), normal RT (RT1), and advantageous RT (RT2) ( In this embodiment, when the winning combination group “RBB” (see FIG. 7) is won, the combination of the winning line stop symbols constitutes the winning combination “bonus combination” (in this embodiment, the bonus combination “RBB1”). ": Refer to FIG. 7) If the winning combination is not a symbol combination (non-winning), the gaming state control means 100b sets the gaming state to the bonus internal winning (RT3) and the gaming state to the bonus internal winning (RT3). Transition (bonus carryover). Further, when winning a bonus combination (in this embodiment, bonus combination “RBB1”: see FIG. 7) that is carried over during the bonus internal winning (RT3), the gaming state control means 100b changes the gaming state to a bonus gaming state ( RBB1) is set, and the gaming state shifts to the bonus gaming state (RBB1). The bonus game state (RBB1) has an end condition, and the game state control means 100b sets the game state to the initial RT (RT0) when the end condition is satisfied, and the game state is the initial RT ( (RT0). In this embodiment, in the bonus game state (RBB1), the end condition is set such that the number of payouts exceeds a prescribed number of 297.

  Here, an outline of the game in the slot machine 1 will be described.

  In the present embodiment, the slot machine 1 is configured such that a game is executed when a prescribed number of medals are inserted, and three medals are inserted into the slot machine 1 by the insertion sensor 53, the bet switch 15, or the maximum bet switch 17. When the insertion is detected, the winning line (center line) in the middle stage of the display window 11 becomes valid. Then, when the operation of the start switch 19 is detected on condition that three medals that are the prescribed number are inserted, it is determined as one of the pre-set combination lottery results by a lottery process using random numbers (preliminary). A winning lottery of whether or not one of a plurality of set winning combination groups has been won is performed, and one of the winning combination groups is won). Further, all the rotations of the left, middle and right reels 13L, 13M and 13R are started, and the symbols of the left, middle and right reels 13L, 13M and 13R displayed on the display window 11 are changed to the left, middle and right reels 13L, The determination is started in accordance with the rotation angles of 13M and 13R.

  Thereafter, after the left, middle and right reels 13L, 13M and 13R are accelerated and the left, middle and right reels 13L, 13M and 13R are in a steady rotation, the left, middle and right position sensors 55L, 55M and 55R When it is detected that the rotation positions of the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are the predetermined reference positions, the operation of all the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R can be effectively received. It becomes. After the operation of all the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R is enabled, for example, when it is detected that the left stop switch 21L is operated, the left reel 13L is stopped and the middle stop switch 21M is operated. When it is detected that the middle reel 13M is detected, the right reel 13R is stopped when it is detected that the right stop switch 21R is operated. In this way, the rotation of the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, 13R corresponding to the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R is stopped by operating the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R. To do.

  When all the operations of the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are finished, all the rotations of the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are stopped. At this time, when the symbol of the predetermined winning combination determined by the combination lottery means 103 stops at a predetermined position on the winning line in the middle stage of the display window 11 that has become valid, a winning is awarded, and the number of medals according to the winning mode Is credited or paid out from the medal payout opening 39, and one game is completed. In addition, instead of paying out medals or along with paying out medals, a predetermined profit may be given to the player.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, bonus combinations “RBB1”, small combinations “PZ1” to “PZ41”, and re-playing combinations “RP1” to “RP9” are preset. In this embodiment, as the result of lottery, the winning combination that may be arranged in different roles depending on the operation mode (winning role group “RT2 transition replay 1” to “RT2 transition replay 3”, “left correct bell 1” to “Left correct answer bell 4”, “Middle correct answer bell 1” to “Middle correct answer bell 4”, “Right correct answer bell 1” to “Right correct answer bell 4”) may be won. The combination lottery results of the combination lottery means 103 include a bonus winning, a small winning combination, a re-game winning combination, and a loss.

  In addition, the winning includes a bonus winning combination related to the transition to the bonus game, a small winning combination related to paying out medals, and a re-playing winning combination related to execution of replay (replay).

  Then, for example, when three symbols for each of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are arranged on the winning line in each display mode related to the bonus combination “RBB1” in FIG. The game is executed.

  In the present embodiment, there is no payout of medals due to bonus winning (the bonus payout number is 0), and the game shifts to the bonus gaming state (RBB1) after the game in which the winning mode related to the bonus winning is established. Although it is configured, a predetermined payout number (for example, 10) may be set for the bonus combination, and after the medal is paid out, the bonus game state (RBB1) may be entered.

  Further, for example, the small roles “PZ1”, “PZ2” (lower right bell), “PZ3” (middle bell), “PZ4” to “PZ36” (push order incorrect answer), “PZ37” (watermelon) in FIG. , “PZ38” to “PZ40” (Cherry), “PZ41” (Chance), the left, middle and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are displayed on the winning line in the middle of the display window 11. When the three pieces are collected, a small role winning is obtained, and the number of medals shown in the “payout number” column is paid out.

  In addition, the replaying roles “RP1”, “RP2” (middle replay), “RP3” (upward replay), “RP4”, “RP5” (promotion replay), “RP6”, “RP7” (fake) in FIG. 7), "RP8" (seven right up 7 replays) and "RP9" (7 right down 7 replays) are displayed on the winning line for each of the left, middle and right reels 13L, 13M, 13R on the winning line. When all of them are aligned, it becomes a re-game winning prize, and a game can be played again with the number of medals according to the gaming state without inserting new medals.

  By the way, in this embodiment, it is comprised so that a plurality of winning combinations can be won simultaneously by the winning lottery means 103. That is, as shown in FIG. 7, a winning combination group (combination lottery result) composed of a plurality of combinations is formed, and whether or not each winning combination group has been won is drawn by the combination lottery means 103. In this embodiment, all of the winning combination groups, except for the winning combination groups “HZ” and “RBB”, are composed of a plurality of combinations. Here, when a winning combination group composed of a plurality of combinations is won, all of the components are won simultaneously.

  In the present embodiment, the winning role groups “left correct answer bell 1” to “left correct answer bell 4”, “middle correct answer bell 1” to “middle correct answer bell 4”, “right correct answer bell 1” to “right correct answer bell 4”. ”,“ RT2 transition replay 1 ”to“ RT2 transition replay 3 ”, the operation mode (push order) of the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R that is advantageous to the player is preset. Even if the result of the lottery by the part lottery means 103 (the winning group won by the part lottery by the part lottery means 103) is the same, the player selects which of the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R The reel rotation control means 106 is configured to stop and control the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R so that the winning mode (display mode) varies depending on the order of operation.

  That is, the winning combination groups “left correct answer bell 1” to “left correct answer bell 4”, “middle correct answer bell 1” to “middle correct answer bell 4”, “right correct answer bell 1” to “right correct answer bell 4” shown in FIG. , When one of “RT2 transition replay 1” to “RT2 transition replay 3” is elected and a plurality of constituents of the elected winning group are simultaneously elected, the left / middle / right stop switches 21L and 21M , 21R, the reel rotation control means 106 is configured so that the constituents for preferentially aligning the winning symbols on the winning line among the plurality of constituents of the selected winning combination group are different. Has been.

  For example, if the winning lottery result by the winning lottery means 103 is one of the winning role groups “Left Correct Answer Bell 1” to “Left Correct Answer Bell 4”, the operation mode determining means 100a first performs a left stop switch. Assume that it is determined that a 21L operation has been performed. In this case, among the plurality of constituents of the winning combination group that has won, the constituent with the largest number of medals paid out (the most advantageous to the player) (in this embodiment, the right-down bell (small part “PZ1”, The left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are controlled to stop by the reel rotation control means 106 so that the symbol combinations related to the winning of “PZ2”: 9 payouts) are aligned on the winning line. Even if the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R are operated at any timing, the winning symbols “PZ1”, “PZ2” are arranged within the range that can be pulled in, so the stop switches 21L, 21M , 21R always wins the small role “PZ1” or the small role “PZ2” (no missing parts).

  On the other hand, if it is determined by the operation mode determination means 100a that the left stop switch 21L has not been operated for the first time, it is possible to win a right-down bell (small role “PZ1”, “PZ2”: 9 payouts). Absent. That is, the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are operated in a preset operation sequence (first stop: left reel 13L) corresponding to the winning combination groups “left correct answer bell 1” to “left correct answer bell 4”. Unless it is determined by the operation mode determination means 100a that the player has been operated, the most advantageous player in the winning combination groups “Left correct answer bell 1” to “Left correct answer bell 4” (in this embodiment, the right lowering bell) The symbols are not displayed in the display mode corresponding to (small role “PZ1”, “PZ2”: 9 payouts)). In this case, depending on the operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R, either one of the remaining component combinations (four payouts) is won or a failure that does not win any component combination occurs.

  In addition, when the result lottery result by the role lottery means 103 is one of the winning group “Middle Correct Answer Bell 1” to “Medium Correct Answer Bell 4”, the operation mode determining means 100a first sets the middle stop switch. Assume that it is determined that a 21M operation has been performed. In this case, among the plurality of constituents of the winning combination group that has won, the constituent with the largest number of medals paid out (the most advantageous to the player) (in this embodiment, the middle bell (small part “PZ3”: dividend) The left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are controlled to be stopped by the reel rotation control means 106 so that the symbol combinations related to (9 sheets)) are aligned on the winning line. Even if the stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R is operated at any timing, the small role “PZ3” always wins (no missing) because the winning symbols are arranged within the retractable range.

  On the other hand, if it is determined by the operation mode determination means 100a that the middle stop switch 21M has not been operated for the first time, the middle bell (small role “PZ3”: 9 payouts) is not won. That is, the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are operated in a preset operation sequence (first stop: middle reel 13M) corresponding to the winning combination groups “medium correct answer bell 1” to “medium correct answer bell 4”. Unless it is determined by the operation mode determination means 100a that the player has been operated, the most advantageous constituents included in the winning combination groups “middle correct answer bell 1” to “middle correct answer bell 4” (in this embodiment, the middle stage bell ( The symbol is not displayed in the display mode corresponding to the small role “PZ3”: 9 payouts)). In this case, depending on the operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R, either one of the remaining component combinations (four payouts) is won or a failure that does not win any component combination occurs.

  In addition, when the winning lottery result by the winning lottery means 103 is one of the winning group “right correct bell 1” to “right correct bell 4”, the operation mode determining means 100a first causes the right stop switch to be selected. Assume that it is determined that the 21R operation has been performed. In this case, among the plurality of constituents of the winning combination group that has won, the constituent with the largest number of medals paid out (the most advantageous to the player) (in this embodiment, the middle bell (small part “PZ3”: dividend) The left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are controlled to be stopped by the reel rotation control means 106 so that the symbol combinations related to (9 sheets)) are aligned on the winning line. Even if the stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R is operated at any timing, the small role “PZ3” always wins (no missing) because the winning symbols are arranged within the retractable range.

  On the other hand, if it is determined by the operation mode determination means 100a that the right stop switch 21R is not operated first, the middle bell (small role “PZ3”: 9 payouts) is not won. That is, the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R in the operation sequence (first stop: right reel 13R) set in advance corresponding to the winning combination groups “right correct bell 1” to “right correct bell 4”. Unless it is determined by the operation mode determination means 100a that the player has been operated, the most advantageous constituents included in the winning combination groups “middle correct answer bell 1” to “middle correct answer bell 4” (in this embodiment, the middle stage bell ( The symbol is not displayed in the display mode corresponding to the small role “PZ3”: 9 payouts)). In this case, depending on the operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R, either one of the remaining component combinations (four payouts) is won or a failure that does not win any component combination occurs.

  In addition, when the winning lottery result by the winning lottery means 103 is the winning winning group “RT2 transition replay 1”, it is determined that the operation of the left stop switch 21L is first performed by the operation mode determining means 100a. To do. In this case, among the plurality of constituents of the selected winning combination group “RT2 transition replay 1”, the promotion replay (in this embodiment, the replayer combination “ The left, middle and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are controlled to stop by the reel rotation control means 106 so that the symbol combinations related to winning (RP4 "," RP5 ") are aligned on the winning line. Regardless of the timing at which the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R are operated, either of the winning symbols “RP4”, “RP5” is arranged within the range that can be pulled in. According to the operation timing of 21M and 21R, the re-gamer “RP4” or the re-gamer “RP5” is always won (always shift to advantageous RT).

  On the other hand, if it is determined by the operation mode determination means 100a that the left stop switch 21L has not been operated for the first time, the promotion replay (in this embodiment, the re-gamer “RP4”, “RP5”) is won. There is no. That is, the operation mode determination is made when the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are operated in a preset operation sequence (first stop: left reel 13L) corresponding to the winning combination group “RT2 transition replay 1”. Unless determined by the means 100a, in a display mode corresponding to the promotion replay most advantageous to the players included in the winning combination group “RT2 transition replay 1” (in this embodiment, the re-players “RP4” and “RP5”). The symbol is never displayed. In this case, one of the remaining components is won according to the operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R.

  In addition, when the winning lottery result by the winning lottery means 103 is the winning winning group “RT2 transition replay 2”, it is determined by the operation mode determining means 100a that the middle stop switch 21M is initially operated. To do. In this case, among the plurality of constituents of the selected winning combination group “RT2 transition replay 2”, the promotion replay (in this embodiment, the replayer combination “ The left, middle and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are controlled to stop by the reel rotation control means 106 so that the symbol combinations related to winning (RP4 "," RP5 ") are aligned on the winning line. Regardless of the timing at which the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R are operated, either of the winning symbols “RP4”, “RP5” is arranged within the range that can be pulled in. According to the operation timing of 21M and 21R, the re-gamer “RP4” or the re-gamer “RP5” is always won (always shift to advantageous RT).

  On the other hand, when it is determined by the operation mode determination means 100a that the middle stop switch 21M has not been operated for the first time, the promotion replay (in this embodiment, the re-gamer “RP4”, “RP5”) is won. There is no. That is, the operation mode determination is made when the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are operated in a preset operation sequence (first stop: middle reel 13M) corresponding to the winning combination group “RT2 transition replay 2”. Unless determined by the means 100a, in a display mode corresponding to the promotion replay most advantageous to the players included in the winning combination group “RT2 transition replay 2” (in this embodiment, the re-players “RP4” and “RP5”). The symbol is never displayed. In this case, one of the remaining components is won according to the operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R.

  In addition, when the winning lottery result by the winning lottery means 103 is winning the winning combination group “RT2 transition replay 3”, it is determined by the operation mode determining means 100a that the right stop switch 21R is initially operated. To do. In this case, among the plurality of constituents of the winning combination group “RT2 transition replay 3”, the promoted replay (in this embodiment, the replay player “ The left, middle and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are controlled to stop by the reel rotation control means 106 so that the symbol combinations related to winning (RP4 "," RP5 ") are aligned on the winning line. Regardless of the timing at which the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R are operated, either of the winning symbols “RP4”, “RP5” is arranged within the range that can be pulled in. According to the operation timing of 21M and 21R, the re-gamer “RP4” or the re-gamer “RP5” is always won (always shift to advantageous RT).

  On the other hand, if it is determined by the operation mode determination means 100a that the right stop switch 21R is not operated first, the promotion replay (in this embodiment, the replay player “RP4”, “RP5”) is won. There is no. That is, the operation mode determination is made when the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are operated in a predetermined operation sequence (first stop: right reel 13R) corresponding to the winning combination group “RT2 transition replay 3”. Unless determined by the means 100a, in a display mode corresponding to the promotion replay most advantageous to the players included in the winning combination group “RT2 transition replay 3” (in this embodiment, the re-players “RP4”, “RP5”). The symbol is never displayed. In this case, one of the remaining components is won according to the operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R.

  The winning combinations “Fake play” and “7-match replay” have different winning combinations depending on the pressing order and operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R. For example, the winning combination group “Fake Replay” is composed of re-players “RP1” to “RP3”, “RP6”, and “RP7”. When the first stop is a pressing order other than the right reel 13R, the reel rotation control means 106 performs stop control of the reels 13L and 13M so that the re-game players “RP1” and “RP2” win preferentially. Regardless of the timing at which the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R are operated, any one of the winning symbols “RP1” and “RP2” is arranged within the retractable range, so that each stop switch 21L , 21M, 21R, the re-gamer “RP1” or the re-gamer “RP2” is always won.

  On the other hand, when the first stop is the right reel 13R, the symbol “R1” (symbol number: 5) relating to the winning of the right reel 13R of the re-playing role “RP6” or the right reel 13R of the re-playing role “RP7” Stop control of the right reel 13R is performed by the reel rotation control means 106 so that the symbol “BE” (symbol number: 1) relating to winning is preferentially stopped on the winning line. Therefore, when the stop switch 21R is operated at a timing at which these symbols can be drawn, the symbol “BE” (symbol number: 1) or symbol “R1” (symbol number: 5) is awarded according to the operation timing. Stop at the line (middle of the right reel 13R).

  Here, when the symbol “BE” (symbol number: 1) stops in the middle of the right reel 13R, the symbol “W7”, which is the winning symbol of the re-gamer “RP7”, preferentially wins in the second stop. Further, stop control of the middle reel 13M is performed by the reel rotation control means 106. Therefore, when the middle stop switch 21M is operated within a range in which the symbol “W7” can be pulled in by the middle reel 13M, the symbol “W7” stops at the middle stage of the middle reel 13M. Next, since the winning symbol “BE” of the left reel 13L (third stop) of the re-gamer “RP7” is not missed, what happens after the symbol “W7” stops in the middle stage of the middle reel 13M? Even if the left stop switch 21L is operated at the timing, the re-game player “RP7” is always won. On the other hand, if the stop switch 21M is not operated within the range in which the symbol “W7” can be pulled into the winning line (middle stage) with the middle reel 13M (second stop), the re-playing combination “RP3” is set as the next priority winning combination. Then, stop control of the middle reel 13M is performed by the reel rotation control means 106. Since the winning symbol “R1” on the reel 13M of the re-gamer “RP3” is not missed, the symbol “R1” always stops at the middle stage no matter what timing the stop switch 21M is operated. Next, since the winning symbol “BE” of the left reel 13L (third stop) of the re-gamer “RP3” is not missed, what happens after the symbol “R1” stops in the middle stage of the middle reel 13M? Even if the left stop switch 21L is operated at the timing, the re-game player “RP3” is always won. In addition, when the second stop is not the middle reel 13M but the left reel 13L, the reel rotation control means 106 causes the symbol “BE”, which is the winning symbol of the re-gamer “RP3”, to win preferentially. Stop control of the left reel 13L is performed. Since the winning symbol “BE” on the left reel 13L of the re-gamer “RP3” is not missed, the symbol “BE” always stops at the middle stage regardless of the timing of operating the stop switch 21L. Next, since the winning symbol “R1” of the reel 13M (third stop) in the re-playing role “RP3” is not missed, what happens after the symbol “BE” stops in the middle of the left reel 13L? Even if the middle stop switch 21M is operated at the timing, the replay player “RP3” is always won.

  If the winning group “Fake Replay” is won and the symbol “RP1” (symbol number: 5) stops in the middle of the right reel 13R (first stop), the re-gamer “RP6” wins in the second stop. The reel rotation control means 106 performs stop control of the middle reel 13M so that the symbol “W7” as a symbol wins preferentially. Therefore, when the middle stop switch 21M is operated within a range in which the symbol “W7” can be pulled in by the middle reel 13M, the symbol “W7” stops at the middle stage of the middle reel 13M. Next, since the winning symbol “BE” of the left reel 13L (third stop) of the re-gamer “RP6” is not missed, what happens after the symbol “W7” stops in the middle stage of the middle reel 13M? Even if the left stop switch 21L is operated at the timing, the re-game player “RP6” is always won. On the other hand, if the stop switch 21M is not operated within a range in which the symbol “W7” can be drawn into the winning line (middle stage) on the middle reel 13M (second stop), the re-game players “RP1” and “RP2” are As the priority winning combination, the reel rotation control means 106 performs stop control of the middle reel 13M. Regardless of the timing at which the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R are operated, either of the winning symbols “RP1” and “RP2” is arranged within the range that can be pulled in. According to the operation timing of 21M, the re-game player “RP1” or the re-game player “RP2” is always won. In addition, when the second stop is not the middle reel 13M but the left reel 13L, the winning symbols “R1” and “R2” which are the winning symbols of the replaying role “RP1” and the replaying role “RP2” are preferential. The reel rotation control means 106 performs stop control of the left reel 13L so as to win a prize. In this case, regardless of the operation timing of the left stop switch 21L, the symbol (“RP1”: symbol “R1”) for one of the re-game player “RP1” and the re-game player “RP2”. , “RP2”: symbol “R2”) is within the retractable range, and symbol “R1” or symbol “R2” stops in the middle depending on the operation timing of left stop switch 21L. Next, since the common winning symbol “R1” of the reel 13M (third stop) of the re-gamer “RP1” and the re-gamer “RP2” is not missed, the symbol “R1” is displayed in the middle of the left reel 13L. After the symbol “R2” is stopped, no matter what timing the middle stop switch 21M is operated, the player is always awarded the re-playing combination “RP1” or the re-playing combination “RP2”.

  When the winning group “Fake Replay” is won, the first stop is in the case of the right reel 13R, but the symbol “R1” (symbol number 5) relating to the winning of the right reel 13R of the re-gamer “RP6” If the right stop switch 21R is operated within a range that cannot be drawn into any of the symbols “BE” (symbol number 1) relating to the winning of the right reel 13R of the re-gamer “RP7”, the next priority winning combination Are controlled by the reel rotation control means 106 to stop the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R. Depending on the operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R, the re-game combination “RP1” or the re-play game combination “RP2” is always won.

  If the re-game player “RP6” aims in the winning line of each reel 13L, 13M, 13R in the push order (right → middle → left) and aims at the symbol “W7”, the re-game will continue until the second stop. It is the same stop symbol as the role “RP8” (Right-up white 7 Tempe (right reel middle stage: R1, middle reel middle stage: W7)), but in the third stop, unlike the re-game role “RP8”, the left reel 13L The symbol “W7” does not stop in the upper row (upper right white 7 pie → los). Further, when the re-game player “RP7” aims at the symbol “W7” in the winning line of each reel 13L, 13M, 13R in the push order (right → middle → left), the re-game is played until the second stop. The same stop symbol as the winning combination “RP9” (downward white 7 tempe (right reel middle stage: BE, middle reel middle stage: W7)), but in the third stop, unlike the replaying role “RP9”, the left reel 13L The symbol “W7” does not stop at the bottom (downward white 7 tempered → lost).

  The winning combination group “7 complete replays” is composed of replaying players “RP1” to “RP3” and “RP6” to “RP9”. In this case, when the first stop is a push order other than the right reel 13R, the reel rotation control means 106 performs reel stop control so that the re-game players “RP1” and “RP2” win preferentially. Regardless of the timing at which the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R are operated, any one of the winning symbols “RP1” and “RP2” is arranged within the retractable range, so that each stop switch 21L , 21M, 21R, the re-gamer “RP1” or the re-gamer “RP2” is always won.

  On the other hand, when the first stop is the right reel 13R, the symbol “R1” (symbol number: 5) relating to the winning of the right reel 13R of the replaying roles “RP6” and “RP8” or the replaying roles “RP7”, “RP7” The reel rotation control means 106 performs stop control of the right reel 13R so that the symbol “BE” (symbol number 1) relating to the winning of the right reel 13R of “RP9” stops preferentially on the winning line. Therefore, when the stop switch 21R is operated at a timing at which these symbols can be drawn, the symbol “BE” (symbol number 1) or symbol “R1” (symbol number 5) is displayed on the winning line ( Stop at the middle of the right reel 13R.

  Here, when the symbol “BE” (symbol number 1) stops in the middle of the right reel 13R, the symbol “W7”, which is the winning symbol of the re-playing roles “RP7” and “RP9”, is preferentially displayed in the second stop. Stop control of the middle reel 13M is performed by the reel rotation control means 106 so as to win a prize. Therefore, when the middle stop switch 21M is operated within a range in which the symbol “W7” can be pulled in by the middle reel 13M, the symbol “W7” stops at the middle stage of the middle reel 13M. When the symbol “W7” stops in the middle stage of the middle reel 13M (second stop), the reel rotation control means 106 causes the left reel 13L (third stop) to win so that the re-gamer “RP9” wins preferentially. Stop control is performed. Therefore, in the left reel 13L, when the left stop switch 21L is operated within a range in which the winning symbol “CH” (symbol number 3) of the re-gamer “RP9” can be drawn, the symbol “CH” is displayed in the middle of the left reel 13L. Stops and wins the re-playing role “RP9”. On the other hand, when the left stop switch 21L is not operated within a range in which the winning symbol “CH” (symbol number 3) can be drawn, the re-playing combination “RP7” is set as the next preferential winning combination and the left by the reel rotation control means 106. Stop control of the reel 13L (third stop) is performed. The winning symbol “BE” on the left reel 13L of the re-playing role “RP7” is not missed. Therefore, if the re-playing role “RP9” is missed on the left reel 13L (third stop), the re-playing role “RP7” is always obtained. Win a prize.

  The symbol “BE” (symbol number 1) is stopped at the middle stage of the right reel 13R (first stop), but the middle stop switch 21M is within a range in which the symbol “W7” can be pulled into the middle stage of the middle reel 13M (second stop). Is not operated, stop control of the middle reel 13M is performed by the reel rotation control means 106 with the re-game combination “RP3” as the next priority winning combination. Since the winning symbol “R1” on the reel 13M of the re-gamer “RP3” is not missed, the symbol “R1” always stops at the middle stage no matter what timing the stop switch 21M is operated. Next, since the winning symbol “BE” of the left reel 13L (third stop) of the re-game player “RP3” is not missed, what happens after the symbol “R1” stops in the middle stage of the middle reel 13M? Even if the left stop switch 21L is operated at the timing, the re-game player “RP3” is always won. In addition, when the second stop is not the middle reel 13M but the left reel 13L, the reel rotation control means 106 causes the symbol “BE”, which is the winning symbol of the re-gamer “RP3”, to win preferentially. Stop control of the left reel 13L (third stop) is performed. Since the winning symbol “BE” on the left reel 13L of the re-gamer “RP3” is not missed, the symbol “BE” always stops at the middle stage regardless of the timing of operating the stop switch 21L. Next, since the winning symbol “R1” of the reel 13M (third stop) in the re-playing role “RP3” is not missed, what happens after the symbol “BE” stops in the middle of the left reel 13L? Even if the middle stop switch 21M is operated at the timing, the replay player “RP3” is always won.

  In addition, when the winning group “7 complete replay” is won and the symbol “R1” (symbol number 5) stops in the middle of the right reel 13R (first stop), the replaying player “RP6” is stopped at the second stop. The reel rotation control means 106 performs stop control of the middle reel 13M so that the symbol “W7” which is the winning symbol of “RP8” wins preferentially. Therefore, when the middle stop switch 21M is operated within a range in which the symbol “W7” can be pulled in by the middle reel 13M, the symbol “W7” stops at the middle stage of the middle reel 13M. When the symbol “W7” stops in the middle stage of the middle reel 13M (second stop), the reel rotation control means 106 performs stop control of the left reel 13L so that the re-gamer “RP8” wins preferentially. . Accordingly, in the left reel 13L, when the left stop switch 21L is operated within a range in which the winning symbol “R1” (symbol number 1) of the re-gamer “RP8” can be drawn, the symbol “R1” is displayed in the middle of the left reel 13L. ”(Symbol 1) stops and wins the re-gamer“ RP8 ”. On the other hand, if the left stop switch 21L is not operated within a range in which the winning symbol “R1” (symbol number 1) can be drawn, the re-playing combination “RP6” is set as the next preferential winning combination and the left by the reel rotation control means 106. Stop control of the reel 13L is performed. Since the winning symbol “BE” on the left reel 13L of the re-playing role “RP6” is not missed, if the re-playing role “RP8” is missed on the left reel 13L (third stop), the re-playing role “RP6” is sure to be obtained. Win a prize.

  The symbol “R1” (symbol number 5) is stopped at the middle stage of the right reel 13R (first stop), but the middle stop switch 21M is within a range in which the symbol “W7” can be pulled into the middle stage of the middle reel 13M (second stop). Is not operated, the reel rotation control means 106 performs stop control of the middle reel 13M by using the re-game combination “RP1” and “RP2” as the next priority winning combination. No matter what timing the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are operated, any of the winning symbols “RP1” and “RP2” is arranged within the retractable range, so the remaining stop switches Depending on the operation timing of 21M and 21L, the re-game player “RP1” or the re-game player “RP2” is always won. In addition, when the second stop is not the middle reel 13M but the left reel 13L, the winning symbols “R1” and “R2” which are the winning symbols of the replaying role “RP1” and the replaying role “RP2” are preferential. The reel rotation control means 106 performs stop control of the left reel 13L so as to win a prize. In this case, regardless of the operation timing of the left stop switch 21L, the symbol (“RP1”: symbol “R1”) for one of the re-game player “RP1” and the re-game player “RP2”. , “RP2”: symbol “R2”) is within the retractable range, and symbol “R1” or symbol “R2” stops in the middle depending on the operation timing. Next, since the common winning symbol “R1” of the reels 13M (third stop) of the re-game players “RP1” and “RP2” is not missed, the symbol “R1” or “ After “R2” is stopped, no matter what timing the middle stop switch 21M is operated, the player is always awarded the re-game player “RP1” or the re-game player “RP2”.

  The re-playing role “RP8” has a pattern “W7 (white 7)” that rises to the right when winning, and the re-playing role “RP9” has the pattern “W7” that goes down to right when winning, Are provided as a role that can notify the player that the AT lottery (advantageous zone shift lottery, initial game number lottery, additional game number lottery) has been performed.

  The winning combination group “normal replay” is composed of re-players “RP1” and “RP2”. No matter what the operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, or 21R is, the timing for the winning of any one of the re-game players “RP1” and “RP2” is within the range that can be drawn in. In accordance with the above, the re-game player “RP1” or the re-game player “RP2” is always won.

  In addition, the winning group “normal replay”, “RT2 transition replay 1” to “RT2 transition replay 3”, “fake play”, and “seven matching replay” are the following without consuming the above gaming value. This corresponds to a “re-game player group that can execute a game”.

  The winning group “Cherry” is composed of small roles “PZ38” to “PZ40”. The symbols for winning the small roles “PZ38” to “PZ40” are arranged at positions that may not be able to be pulled in depending on the operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R. is there.

  The winning combination group “Watermelon” is composed of a small role “PZ37”. Each symbol related to winning the small role “PZ37” is placed in a range that can be pulled in regardless of the timing at which the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are operated.

  The winning group “chance eyes” is composed of a small role “PZ41”. Part of each symbol (left, middle reels 13L, 13M) for winning the small role “PZ41” is arranged at a position where it may not be able to be pulled in depending on the operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M. There is a possibility of missing.

  By the way, the bonus game state (RBB1) is a game in which the winning probability of the small role is set higher than that in the normal game, and the game medal can be easily paid out and is advantageous to the player compared to the normal game. is there.

  The winning combination group “RBB” is composed of only the bonus combination “RBB1”. Each symbol related to winning of the bonus combination “RBB1” is arranged at a position where it may not be able to be pulled in depending on the operation timing of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R.

  When a bonus combination “RBB1” in FIG. 6 is won to shift to the bonus game state (RBB1), a bonus game is executed. In the bonus game, when the lottery table 671 that defines the winning probability of the lottery process by the role lottery means 103 is based on the normal game lottery table selected in the normal game, the winning probability of the lottery process by the role lottery means 103 is normal game. By switching to the bonus game lottery table defined with a higher probability, the winning probability of the small role is set to be higher than in the normal game. Specifically, the bonus game lottery table is set to win the winning combination group “all small combinations” in each game. When the winning group “all small roles” is won, all the small roles are won. In this embodiment, the reel “PZ3” (middle bell) is preferentially won. Stop control of the rotation control means 106 is performed. Since the small role “PZ3” (middle level bell) is not missed, the small role “PZ3” (middle level bell) is always won in the bonus game state (RBB1). Then, after the transition to the bonus game state (RBB1), the bonus game state (RBB1) is ended when a predetermined number of medals are paid out. That is, in the present embodiment, the bonus game state (RBB1) is set to end and shift to the normal game (initial RT (RT0)) when the medal payout number reaches a predetermined upper limit number.

  If the winning lottery result of the winning lottery means 103 is winning of the winning combination group “RBB”, the symbol stop control based on the winning of the winning combination group “RBB” is performed. At this time, the bonus combination “RBB1” is performed. If the symbol arrangement of the winning combination is not assigned, the process proceeds to the bonus internal winning (RT3) and the winning combination of the winning combination group “RBB” is won until the winning arrangement of the winning combination “RBB1” is allocated. Carried over.

  On the other hand, the winning group “Cherry”, “Watermelon”, “Chance Eye”, “Left Correct Bell 1” to “Left Correct Bell 4”, “Center Correct Bell 1” to “Center Correct Bell 4”, “Right Correct Bell” The winning of “1” to “Right Correct Bell 4” will be carried over to the next game unless the winning lottery result is assigned to the winning group of these winning role groups and the symbol arrangement of the winning mode of the small role is not allocated. Not. In addition, in the case of winning of the winning group “Normal Replay”, “RT2 Transition Replay 1” to “RT2 Transition Replay 3”, “Fake Replay”, and “7 Complete Replays”, what timing is left / middle / right Even if the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are operated, the symbols are arranged on the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R so that the symbols related to any of the components are always aligned on the winning line. Be sure to win the re-game role.

c) Game section control means 100c
The game section control means 100c shifts from an unfavorable section to an advantageous section based on a result lottery result of the role lottery means 103 described later and an advantageous section shift lottery result described later by the game section control means 100c in the game of the non-favorable section It is determined whether or not to play, and the next game after the determined game is set as an advantageous section.

  In the present embodiment, the game section control means 100c determines whether or not to shift from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section when the winning group “7-match replay” or “cherry” is won (hereinafter referred to as “advantageous section”). “Transition lottery”). Then, the game section control means 100c, when winning the advantageous section transition lottery (when the transition from the non-favorable section to the advantageous section is determined), the game (game) that has the right to play AT games. In this embodiment, a lottery for selecting an initial game number from a plurality of game numbers not including the game number “0” (hereinafter referred to as “initial game number lottery”) is performed. In addition, when the winning group “7-match replay” or “Cherry” is won in the non-advantageous section, it may be allowed to move to the advantageous section. In this case, there is a 100% probability in the advantageous section transition lottery. You may make it win, and you may make it determine the transfer to a non-advantageous area from an advantageous area, without performing an advantageous area transfer lottery. Also, even if the winning combination group “Watermelon” or the winning combination group “Chance” is won, it may be possible to shift to an advantageous section with a certain probability. Further, a fixed number of games may be given as the initial number of games.

  In addition, the game section control means 100c, in the advantageous section of the game, when the winning group “7 complete replay”, “cherry”, “watermelon”, “chance eyes”, “RBB” is won, the AT game A lottery (hereinafter referred to as “the number of games (games) that have the right to perform” is selected from a plurality of games (the game number “0” may or may not be included)). ("Additional game number lottery").

  The AT period game remaining number counter 654 is initialized when one of the following three end conditions for ending the advantageous period is satisfied (in this embodiment, it is set to “0”). Then, the game section control means 100c shifts to a game (advantage RT (RT2)) that is determined to be an advantageous RT (RT2) when the game won in the advantageous area transition lottery is a game other than the advantageous RT (RT2). 12), or if the game won in the advantageous segment shift lottery is an advantageous RT (RT2) game, in the winning game, in the main process of FIG. The AT period is set in the processing after step S213) (the AT period flag provided in the flag storage unit 651 is set to “1 (ON)” (content indicating that the AT period is in progress)). In addition, the game section control means 100c is the initial game determined by the initial game number lottery in the next game of the game in which the AT period flag is set to “1 (ON)”. Is set in the AT period remaining game counter 654, and if the game number lottery has been performed in the game before the game in which the flag during the AT period is set to “1 (on)”, each additional game number lottery Is added to the AT period remaining game counter 654. In addition, the gaming section control means 100c is a game in which the AT period flag is “1 (ON)” (the AT period flag is “1”). (Including games set to “ON”), each time an additional game number lottery is performed, the additional game number determined in the additional game number lottery is added to the AT period remaining game counter 654.

  The gaming section control means 100c does not determine whether or not an AT game is performed in the AT period of the advantageous section (the advantageous section count flag is “1 (on)” and the AT period flag is “1 (on)”). The AT period remaining game counter 654 is decremented by 1 for each game. In this embodiment, the advantageous section includes the AT preparation (the advantageous section count flag is “1 (ON)” and the AT period flag is “0 (OFF)”) and the AT period (the advantageous section). The counting flag is “1 (on)” and the flag during the AT period is “1 (on)”).

  Further, the advantageous section continuous game remaining number counter 655 is initialized when one of the following three end conditions for ending the advantageous section is satisfied (in this embodiment, it is set to “1500”). ). The gaming section control means 100c decrements the advantageous section continuous game remaining number counter 655 by one for each game regardless of whether or not AT games are performed in the advantageous section. An advantageous section continuous game number counter 655 is provided instead of the advantageous section continuous game remaining number counter 655, and the advantageous section continuous game number counter is set to “0” when one of the following three termination conditions for ending the advantageous section is satisfied. Whether or not the maximum number of consecutive games in the advantageous section has been reached by incrementing by 1 for each game and counting up to 1500 regardless of whether or not AT games are performed in the advantageous section. You may make it determine.

  Further, the 2400 counter 656 is initialized when any one of the following three end conditions for ending the advantageous section is satisfied (in this embodiment, it is set to “0”). The game section control means 100c adds the number of medals paid out in the game to the 2400 counter 656 except when the game is a re-game, and the medal in the game except when the previous game is a re-game. Is subtracted from the 2400 counter 656. This function by the game section control means 100c corresponds to the “cumulative counting means” of the present invention.

  The gaming section control means 100c sets “1500” to the advantageous section continuous game remaining number counter 655 (initialization) and the 2400 counter 656 when satisfying any of the following three termination conditions for ending the advantageous section. Is set to “0” (initialization), and “0” is set to the AT period remaining game counter 654 (initialization). In addition, the game section control means 100c sets the AT period flag to “0 (off)” (content indicating that it is not in the AT period) in a game that satisfies any of the following three end conditions for ending the advantageous section. This sets a non-advantageous section from the next game.

  Here, each of the three end conditions for ending the advantageous section will be described.

The first ending condition for ending the advantageous section (hereinafter referred to as “favorable section continuous game ending condition”) is:
The advantageous section continuous game remaining counter 655 that has been initialized (“1500” is set) is decremented by 1 for each game in the advantageous section to become “0”, and continuous games in one advantageous section This is an end condition for ending the advantageous section when the number reaches “1500” times. Note that “1500” is an example, and other values may be used. “1500” corresponds to the “specific condition” of the present invention, and the advantageous section continuous game end condition corresponds to the “second end condition” of the present invention.

The second ending condition for ending the advantageous section (hereinafter referred to as “favorable section medal acquisition ending condition”) is:
The 2400 counter 656 initialized (set to “0”) is updated based on the number of medals to be paid out and inserted, and exceeds “2400”, and the difference between the number of coins to be inserted and the number of coins inserted in the advantageous section This is a condition for ending the advantageous section when the cumulative difference number obtained by accumulating is greater than “2400” with the lowest value as the base point “0”. Note that “2400” is an example, and other values may be used. “Exceeding 2400” corresponds to the “predetermined condition” of the present invention, and the advantageous section medal acquisition end condition corresponds to the “first end condition” of the present invention.

The third end condition (hereinafter referred to as “AT period game end condition”) for ending the advantageous section is:
The AT game remaining number counter 654 updated based on the lottery result of the initial game number lottery or the additional game number lottery is decremented by 1 for each game of the AT period to become “0”, and the right to play AT games This is an ending condition for ending an advantageous section when there is no more game. The AT period game end condition corresponds to the “third end condition” of the present invention.

  Instead of the above-mentioned AT period game end condition, the AT period remaining game counter 654 updated based on the lottery result of the initial game number lottery or the added game number lottery is decremented by 1 for each game of the AT period. It becomes “0”, and after that, a falling lottery is performed to determine whether or not to fall from the advantageous section to the non-favorable section, and the winning lottery is selected (deciding to fall from the advantageous section to the non-favorable section). It is good also as end conditions. In this case, if an extra lottery is performed in the game up to winning the falling lottery, and the game number other than the game number “0” is won as the additional game number, it is added to the AT period remaining game counter 654 and AT The period may be revived.

  In AT games, winning group “Left correct answer bell 1” to “Left correct answer bell 4”, “Middle correct answer bell 1” to “Middle correct answer bell 4”, “Right correct answer bell 1” to “Right correct answer bell 4”. When one of these is won, the player is notified of the operation mode (which stop switch should be operated first) according to the type of the winning combination group.

(2) Setting control means 101
The setting control unit 101 in FIG. 4 sets setting values (setting 1 to setting 6). This set value is for selecting a lottery table 671 selected by the table selection means 102 to be described later, and each of the set values is associated with each of a plurality of lottery tables 671 stored in the ROM 67. ing. Then, the setting control means 101 determines the on / off state of the setting change key switch 50b when the power is turned on, and starts the predetermined setting changing process when the power is turned on with the setting change key switch 50b being on.

  In the present embodiment, the winning probabilities in the normal game lottery are set in a plurality of stages that are distinguished by a plurality of types of setting values (here, six types). A lottery table 671 (normally) Game lottery table). When the setting change process is started, the manager of the pachinko hall where the slot machine 1 is installed can change the setting value.

  The procedure for changing the set value is performed as follows, for example. The administrator opens the front door 5, inserts a setting change key (not shown) into the key cylinder and rotates with the power switch 50a being OFF, and turns on the setting change key switch 50b. In this state, the setting change process is started by turning on the power switch 50a.

  The winning probability setting value is cyclically switched from setting 1 to setting 6 for each operation of the setting change button 50c by the administrator. This set value is notified by being displayed on the set value display 56. When the set value of the winning probability reaches a desired value by operating the setting change button 50c, the set value is determined by operating the start switch 19. Then, when the setting change key inserted in the key cylinder is rotated and the setting change key switch 50b is turned OFF, the setting change process ends. Thereafter, for example, when a medal is inserted from the medal slot 25, the game is started.

(3) Table selection means 102
The table selection means 102 in FIG. 4 is a type of game (normal game, internal winning game, bonus game, etc.) controlled by the game control means 100 on the main control board 63, and a set value set by the setting control means 101 ( One lottery table is selected from a plurality of lottery tables 671 based on setting 1 to setting 6). That is, for example, in a normal game, the table selection means 102 selects a lottery table 671 (normal game lottery table) as a lottery table according to the set value (setting 1 to setting 6) of the winning probability.

(4) Role lottery means 103
The combination lottery means 103 shown in FIG. 4 uses a random number and a lottery table 671 selected by the table selection unit 102 as one of a plurality of predetermined combination lottery results as a combination lottery result in the current game. It is selected and determined by the lottery process used (determines which winning group (including “losing”) has been won). Here, in each lottery table 671, a correspondence relationship between the random number value and each lottery result is defined. Specifically, for example, each lottery table 671 includes a random number generated by the random number generator 103a described later. Data indicating an area with which each result lottery result is associated in the entire range is stored.

a) Random number generation means 103a
The random number generating means 103a in FIG. 4 generates a random number for lottery within a predetermined random value range. The random number generation means 103a can be constituted by, for example, an oscillation circuit and a counter circuit that counts clock signals generated by the oscillation circuit (so-called hard random number). Note that the random number generation means 103a can be configured by, for example, means for generating a random number by an average sampling method, or means for generating a random number by adding prime numbers. These means can be configured, for example, by causing the main CPU 61 to execute a predetermined program (so-called soft random number). Note that both hard random numbers and soft random numbers may be provided, and random numbers may be generated in a software manner based on the results.

b) Random number extraction means 103b
4 extracts the random number value generated by the random number generation means 103a, and extracts the random value generated by the random number generation means 103a under a predetermined condition. The random number extraction means 103b extracts a random value used for the lottery process of the combination lottery means 103 in the current game at the timing when the start switch 19 is operated.

  Further, since the random number generation means 103a is configured by a counter circuit or the like, the numerical value generated by the random number generation means 103a is not strictly a random number. However, since the timing at which the start switch 19 is operated is considered to be random, the numerical value extracted by the random number extraction means 103b can be substantially handled as a random number.

c) Lottery result determining means 103c
The lottery result determination unit 103c of FIG. 4 determines the combination lottery result in the current game based on the random number extracted by the random number extraction unit 103b in the current game and the game state in the current game. The lottery result determination unit 103c refers to the lottery table 671 corresponding to the current gaming state selected by the table selection unit 102, and the random number value extracted by the random number extraction unit 103b is defined by the lottery table 671. By determining which of the random value areas corresponding to each combination lottery result belongs to, the combination lottery result in the current game is determined.

(5) Reel detecting means 105
The reel detection means 105 in FIG. 4 includes detection signals from the left / middle / right position sensors 55L, 55M, 55R and left / middle / right reel motors 14L, 14M for driving the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, 13R. , 14R, and the rotational positions of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are detected. This reel detection means 105 corresponds to a symbol positioned at a predetermined reference position (in the present embodiment, for example, the middle stage of the display window 11) while the left, middle and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are rotating and stopped. Each frame number is detected.

(6) Reel rotation control means 106
The reel rotation control means 106 shown in FIG. 4 is configured to control the excitation phases of the reel motors 14L, 14M, and 14R to individually control the rotation of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R. When the player operates the start switch 19, the reel rotation control means 106 controls the excitation phases of the reel motors 14L, 14M, 14R to start the rotation of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R. Further, the reel rotation control means 106 uses the stop table 672 to stop control each of the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, 13R based on an operation on each of the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R. The symbols variably displayed by the left, middle and right reels 13L, 13M and 13R are stopped in a display mode corresponding to the result lottery result of the role lottery means 103. This reel rotation control means 106 is based on the winning lottery result (winning winning winning group) determined by the lottery result determining means 103c and the operation mode of the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R for each game. Stop control of the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is performed.

  As described above, the winning role group “push order bell” (in this embodiment, the winning role groups “left correct answer bell 1” to “left correct answer bell 4”, “middle correct answer bell 1” to “middle correct answer bell 4”). ”,“ Right Correct Bell 1 ”to“ Right Correct Bell 4 ”), winning combinations are set differently depending on the first stop switch to be operated. In addition, depending on the type of the winning combination group “push order bell”, advantageous operation modes are different.

  The stop table 672 for determining the stop positions of the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is set with a plurality of tables corresponding to the combination lottery results of the combination lottery means 103, respectively. The stop table 672 has a left / middle / right reel according to the rotational position of the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, 13R when the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R are operated. The number of sliding frames of 13L, 13M, and 13R is determined in advance, and the stop operation order of the corresponding left, middle, and right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R is set for each of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R. Correspondingly, the number of sliding frames is different.

  Further, if the winning lottery result of the winning lottery means 103 is a win for any of the winning combinations, the reel rotation control means 106 and the stop table 672 selected based on the winning lottery result and the left / middle / right stop Each of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R wins the winning combination from the rotation positions of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R when the switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are operated. And the stop control of each of the left, middle and right reels 13L, 13M and 13R is performed. On the other hand, if the winning lottery result by the winning lottery means 103 is lost, the reel rotation control means 106, the stop table 672 selected based on the lost winning lottery result, and the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, Each of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is selected from the rotation positions of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R when each of the 21Rs is operated so as not to win any of a plurality of roles. The number of sliding frames is determined, and stop control for each of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is performed.

  By the way, there is an upper limit on the number of sliding frames, and the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R corresponding to the timing at which the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, 13R are respectively at predetermined rotational positions are provided. If not operated, the reel rotation control means 106 wins a symbol corresponding to the winning combination in the symbol displayed on the display window 11 even if the winning lottery result by the winning lottery means 103 is a winning combination. The left, middle and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R cannot be stopped and controlled so as to be stopped and displayed in this manner. In other words, the reel rotation control unit 106 corresponds to the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R corresponding to the timing at which the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are at predetermined rotation positions based on the combination lottery result of the combination lottery unit 103, respectively. On the condition that the right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are operated, the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13L, and 13B are displayed so that the symbols displayed on the display window 11 are stopped and displayed in a winning manner corresponding to the winning combination. Each of 13M and 13R is controlled to stop.

(7) Notification determining means 107
4 is to notify the operation mode of the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R advantageous to the player based on the result lottery result by the role lottery means 103 in the game in the advantageous section. Make a decision. For example, even if the winning lottery result is the winning group “right correct bell 1”, if the player cannot know that fact, the player may not operate the right stop switch 21R first. Therefore, the small role “PZ3” (middle bell) cannot always be arranged. On the other hand, in the AT game, when the winning lottery result is the winning group “right correct bell 1”, that fact is notified, and the player pays out by urging to operate the right stop switch 21R first. It becomes possible to increase the opportunity to receive.

  Further, as will be described later, the command creation unit 108 creates a command according to the determination result of the notification determination unit 107. The notification determining means 107 uses the command created by the command creating means 108 as a command that can identify an advantageous pressing order set according to the type of the selected bell group, or a command that cannot identify the advantageous pressing order. It is also functioning to determine whether or not.

(8) Command creation means 108
The command creation means 108 in FIG. 4 includes data relating to the result lottery result in the lottery process by the role lottery means 103, and the operation tools operated by the player such as the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, the start switch 19 and the like. A command for transmitting various data such as operation data to the sub control board 73 (sub CPU 71) is generated. The command generated by the command creating means 108 is transmitted to the sub control board 73 (sub CPU 71) by the sub control command transmitting means 111 as will be described later.

  The command creation means 108 creates a command that can specify the type of the winning combination group as a command that can identify the result of the lottery when the lottery is performed by the role lottery means 103. In this embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, A to J and Z are set as the types (flag types) of the winning combination groups, and the command creation means 108 sets the types of the winning combination groups that have been won. A command (winning combination command) that can identify the flag type set accordingly is created. Here, the same command (C) is created as the winning combination command regardless of which of the winning combination groups “RT2 transition replay 1” to “RT2 transition replay 3” is won. In addition, the winning group “Left correct answer bell 1” to “Left correct answer bell 4”, “Middle correct answer bell 1” to “Middle correct answer bell 4”, “Right correct answer bell 1” to “Right correct answer bell 4” is selected. Even so, the same command (I) is created as the winning combination command. That is, the winning combination groups “RT2 transition replay 1” to “RT2 transition replay 3” and the winning combination groups “left correct answer bell 1” to “left correct answer bell 4”, “middle correct answer bell 1” to “middle correct answer bell 4”, The winning combination command created when winning “Right Correct Bell 1” to “Right Correct Bell 4” cannot specify the advantageous pushing order set for the winning combination (winning group), but other winning combinations Create a command that can be distinguished from a group. For other winning combination groups, a command that can identify the type of winning combination itself is created as the winning combination command. The winning combination command is created for each game in which a lottery is performed.

  The command creation means 108 is an advantageous section when winning groups having different degrees of advantage depending on the pressing order, and when performing AT (notification of advantageous pressing order) in the game, the command creating means 108 Create a command that can specify an advantageous pressing order set according to the type. In this embodiment, the advantageous pushing order set for the winning combination group “RT2 transition replay 1”, “left correct answer bell 1” to “left correct answer bell 4” is that the first stop reel is the left reel 13L. Push order. In this case, the command creation means 108 creates “1” as a push order command, for example. The advantageous pushing order set for the winning combination group “RT2 transition replay 2” and “middle correct answer bell 1” to “middle correct answer bell 4” is the push order in which the first stop reel becomes the middle reel 13M. is there. In this case, the command creation unit 108 creates “2” as a push order command, for example. The advantageous pushing order set in the winning combination group “RT2 transition replay 3”, “right correct bell 1” to “right correct bell 4” is the push order in which the first stop reel becomes the right reel 13R. In this case, the command creation unit 108 creates “3” as a push order command, for example. When the push order command is transmitted by the sub control command sending means 111, the player is notified of the advantageous push order specified by the received push order command by the liquid crystal display 27 or the like controlled by the sub control board 73. The

  In this embodiment, the push order command is an advantageous section, and when AT is performed in the game, it is created when winning a winning combination group having a different degree of advantage depending on the push order. In other cases, The command is not created. In this embodiment, it is an advantageous section, and when performing AT in the game, a push order command is not created unless a winning group with a different advantage depending on the push order is won. Instead of creating a forward command, for example, “0” may be created as a push order command in which an advantageous push order cannot be specified.

(9) Symbol determination means 109
The symbol determination means 109 (corresponding to “winning determination means”) 109 in FIG. 4 is based on the respective rotation positions of the left, middle and right reels 13L, 13M and 13R detected by the reel detection means 105, and the reel rotation control means 106. It is determined whether or not the display mode of the symbols by the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R stopped by the stop control is a predetermined display mode.

  When the symbols are arranged on the winning line in the display mode indicated by the role name “RBB1” in FIG. Further, the symbol determining means 109 determines that the winning combination is achieved when the symbols are aligned on the winning line in the display modes shown in “PZ1” to “PZ41” in FIG. 6, and the symbol determining means 109 determines “RP1” in FIG. When the symbols are arranged on the winning line in the display modes indicated by “RP9” to “RP9”, it is determined that the re-game role is won.

(10) Dispensing control means 110
The payout control unit 110 in FIG. 4 gives a predetermined profit to the player based on the determination result by the symbol determination unit 109. If the symbol determining unit 109 determines that one of a plurality of winning combinations has been won, the payout control unit 110 determines that the number of credit medals stored is the upper limit (this implementation) After reaching 50 (in the form, for example), the hopper unit 43 is operated to pay out medals by the number of payouts corresponding to the winning combination. Also, the payout control means 110 increases the credit medals by the payout number instead of the operation of the hopper unit 43 as paying out medals until the number of stored credit medals reaches the upper limit value.

  By the way, the payout control means 110 activates the winning line of the next game on the assumption that a prescribed number of medals according to the gaming state have been inserted when it is determined by the symbol determining means 109 that the player has won the re-gamer. And

(11) Sub-control command transmission unit 111
The sub-control command transmission unit 111 in FIG. 4 uses, as predetermined information, commands including various data generated by the command generation unit 108 from the main control board 63 (main CPU 61) to the sub-control board 73 (sub CPU 71). Send by traffic. This sub-control command transmission means 111 is created by the command creation means 108 and set by the setting control means 101, the gaming state (initial RT (RT0), normal RT (RT1), advantageous RT (RT2), During bonus internal winning (RT3), bonus game state (RBB1)), game section (unfavorable section, advantageous section), result lottery result of the role lotter means 103, symbol judgment result by the symbol judgment means 109, advantageous section transition lottery As a result, a command including data indicating the state of the slot machine 1 such as the rotation / stop state of each of the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R, the medal payout state by the payout control means 110, and the like is displayed. ).

  Further, the sub control command transmission means 111 transmits a command created by the command creation means 108 including data indicating the detection state of the inserted medal by the insertion sensor 53, the operation state of the bet switch 15 and the maximum bet switch 17, and the like. 73 (sub CPU 71). The sub-control command transmission means 111 is created by the command creation means 108 including data indicating that various switches such as the start switch 19 and the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are operated by the player. To the sub control board 73 (sub CPU 71).

(12) Specific event detection means 112
The specific event detection means 112 in FIG. 4 is for detecting whether or not a specific event has occurred. Specifically, the specific event includes a state in which an abnormal state different from a normal state occurs in the slot machine 1, that is, a so-called error occurrence.

  Specifically, for example, a game medal error, a payout game medal error, a payout failure error, a payout game medal expired error, an RWM error, a reel error, an overflow error, a game medal payout device connection error, which will be described later, Applicable to sensor error. In these specific events (errors), error codes (E0, E1, E2, E3, E4, E5, E6, E7, and EA in the above order) are set.

(13) Game stop means 113
The game stop means 113 of FIG. 4 is for stopping the game (error processing) so that the game cannot proceed based on the occurrence of the specific event (error) detected by the specific event detection means 112.

Here, the continuous feature payout number is the number of payouts in the RBB. Even if there is SB, it is the number of payouts in RBB.

  As shown in FIG. 9, in the game information storage means 653, in the latest 6000 games, the ratio of the bonuses (the percentage of the cumulative PS payouts in the cumulative PS in FIG. 1-byte storage area (corresponding to the cumulative PS feature ratio in FIG. 9), and the cumulative ratio in the total game (total cumulative payout number in FIG. 9). , A 1-byte storage area (corresponding to the total cumulative feature ratio in FIG. 9) is formed. ing.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 9, the game information storage means 653 stores the consecutive character ratio in the latest 6000 game (percentage of the cumulative PS payout number of cumulative PS in FIG. 9 with respect to the total payout number of cumulative PS: “continuous”. 1 byte storage area (corresponding to the continuous PS ratio of the cumulative PS in FIG. 9), the continuous role ratio in the cumulative game (in FIG. 9). The percentage of the total cumulative number of consecutive feature payouts to the total cumulative total number of payouts: referred to as “continuous feature ratio (cumulative)”) (1 byte storage area) (Corresponding to the ratio of consecutive actors).

  Also, as shown in FIG. 9, a 4-byte storage area (in FIG. 9) is stored in the game information storage means 653 for storing the total cumulative total number of payouts after installation or after RWM clear, which is updated every game. A total accumulated payout number (corresponding to each game update) is formed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9, a 4-byte storage area (total number in FIG. 9) is stored in the game information storage means 653 for storing the total cumulative number of “objects + AT bonus payout number” after installation or RWM clear. Corresponding to the total number of “acts + AT payout number”). Here, “the combination + AT combination payout number” is the RBB payout number and the winning combination group “push order bell” (in this embodiment, the winning combination groups “left correct answer bell 1” to “left correct answer bell 4”). , “Correct answer bell 1” to “Correct correct answer bell 4”, “Right correct answer bell 1” to “Right correct answer bell 4”), or a small role “PZ1” to “PZ2” (lower right bell) or small This is the total of the number of payouts of the game in which the pressing order in which the combination “PZ3” (middle bell) is informed is notified. Here, when the winning group “push order bell” is elected, the game in which the push order in which “lower right bell” or “middle bell” is aligned is a game that is won by “bell group” mainly during the AT period. is there. If there is an SB (single bonus), the number of payouts in the RBB, the number of payouts in the game in which the push order in which the “middle bell” is aligned when the “Bell group” is won, and the number of payouts in the SB Is the sum of However, SB corresponds to a normal character, and the small role probability increases only by one game, and even if it is lost, it is not carried over to the next game.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the game information storage means 653 stores the total number of payouts (total number of “functions + AT role payouts” in FIG. Percentage of game update): 1 byte storage area for storing “(combination + AT combination) ratio (cumulative)” (corresponding to the total (combinations + AT combination) ratio in FIG. 9) Is formed.

  In the game information storage means 653, a storage area (for example, 1 byte) for storing a percentage of the total number of games in the advantageous section (“favorable section ratio (cumulative)”) with respect to the total cumulative number of games is stored. Instead of the storage area of the (object + AT combination) ratio (cumulative total), it may be formed together with the storage area of the (combination + AT combination) ratio (total). In this case, in the game information storage means 653, a 4-byte storage area for storing the total number of games after installation or after RWM clear, and a 4-byte storage area for storing the number of advantageous section games after installation or after RWM clear. A storage area is formed.

  The size of each storage area is not limited to the above, and can be changed as appropriate.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, among the plurality of winning combination groups, the winning combination groups having different advantages to be given to the player according to the operation mode of the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R (FIG. 7). "Left correct answer bell 1"-"Left correct answer bell 4", "Middle correct answer bell 1"-"Middle correct answer bell 4", "Right correct answer bell 1"-"Right correct answer bell 4", "RT2 transition replay 1"- "RT2 transition replay 3"). When the winning lottery result of the winning lottery means 103 is the winning winning group, the main CPU 61 performs an AT game (a game in which an advantageous operation mode corresponding to the winning winning group can be specified).

  In a game in an unfavorable section that does not allow an AT game, the game section control means 100c is based on the result of the role lottery by the role lottering means 103 and the result of the advantageous section transition lottery by the game section control means 100c. Make a decision on whether to move to. Specifically, the gaming section control means 100c wins the advantageous section transition lottery when winning group “7-match replay” and “cherry” is won, and wins the advantageous section transition lottery (from the non-advantage section to the advantageous section). When the transition is determined), the payout display control means 118 performs control for lighting the advantageous section lamp 47 corresponding to the notification lamp that displays the advantageous section or the non-favorable section in an identifiable manner, and displays the advantageous section. Do.

  The payout display control means 118 determines the transition from the non-favorable section to the advantageous section in the lighting control of the advantageous section lamp 47 (in this embodiment, the winning group “7-match replay”, “Cherry” is won. And a predetermined timing corresponding to each of the winning combination groups “7-match replay” and “Cherry” on the condition that the lottery is selected for the advantageous section transition lottery (in this embodiment, the winning set “7-match replay”). The predetermined timings of “cherry” are steps S207 and S218 in the main process of FIG. 12). Advantageous section lamp lighting control data used for controlling the lighting and extinction of the advantageous section lamp 47 is advantageous. The content indicating lighting of the section lamp 47 (in this embodiment, “1 (on)”) is set, and the timer interrupt process of FIG. Lighting the advantageous intervals lamp 47 based on the preferred segment lamp lighting control data in lamp processing (step S435). Then, the payout display control means 118 is provided on condition that any one of a plurality of end conditions for the advantageous section (in this embodiment, an advantageous section continuous game end condition, an advantageous section medal acquisition end condition, an AT period game end condition) is satisfied. The contents indicating that the advantageous section lamp 47 is extinguished in the advantageous section lamp lighting control data at a predetermined timing (in this embodiment, this timing is step S222 in the main process of FIG. 12) (in this embodiment, “ 0 (off) ") is set, and the advantageous section lamp 47 is extinguished based on the advantageous section lamp lighting control data in the lamp processing (step S435) in the timer interruption process of FIG.

  Further, the counting means 114a has an advantageous section indicating whether or not to count as a game in the advantageous section at a predetermined timing (in this embodiment, the timing is step S223 in the main process of FIG. 12). When the next game is a game in the advantageous section, the count flag is set to a content indicating the count (in this embodiment, “1 (on)”), and the next game is not a game in the advantageous section (in the non-advantage section) In the case of a game), it is set to a content indicating that counting is not performed (in this embodiment, “0 (off)”). The details will be described in the aggregation means 114a described later.

  Details of the setting contents and setting timing of the advantageous section lamp lighting control data and the setting contents and setting timing of the advantageous section count flag will be described in the description of the main processing of FIG.

Further, the counting unit 114a determines whether or not the stored value of the 400 counter 652 is equal to the set game number M (= 400) that is the set total reference, and the stored value of the game number counter 652 is the set game number M (= 400), the value stored in the 400 counter 652 is cleared to 0, which is the initial value. The initial value of the stored value of the 400 counter 652 is set to the set number of games M (= 400), and the number of games is counted by decrementing the stored value of the game number counter 652 by 1 for each game. Good.

  Further, the counting means 114a is after the rotation of all the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is stopped regardless of the setting timing of the advantageous section lamp lighting control data, and the advantageous section lamp is lit in the game. After all the control data setting timings have elapsed and until the betting number of medals for the next game can be set, after the game information counting process for counting various data, the advantageous section count Performs flag setting processing. In the process of setting the advantageous section count flag, the advantageous section count flag is set to the content indicating the count (“1 (on)” in the first embodiment) when the next game is a game in the advantageous section, When the next game is not a game in an advantageous section, the content is set to indicate that the game is not counted (“0 (off)” in the first embodiment). In this embodiment, the process of setting the advantageous section count flag is performed by setting the advantageous section lamp lighting control data set at the time of the processing as the advantageous section count flag. It is assumed that one game is from the start of setting the bet number of medals until the bet number of medals for the next game can be set. That is, the process from the start of the determination process in step S201 of the main process in FIG. 12 to the process immediately before the determination process in step S201 is performed from step S202 to S224 is defined as one game.

  Moreover, the totaling means 114a totalizes the memory content of the game information storage means 653 shown in FIG. In this specification, claims, drawings, etc., “aggregation” means “summing up numbers and summing up”, “accumulating numbers”, and “summing up numbers so far. Or adding a new value to the accumulated value or the value accumulated so far ”.

  Specifically, for the items shown in FIG. 9, the counting means 114a performs the total payout number, the bonus payout number, and the continuous feature for each game, the period corresponding to the ring pointer from the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15. By adding the number of winning prizes to the value of the number of payouts as necessary, the values of the total payout number, the bonus item payout number, and the continuous feature payout number for the period are updated.

  Further, the counting means 114a calculates the accumulated total number of payouts from the first period P1 to the 15th period P15 every 400 games, stores the accumulated value in the total payout number of the accumulated PS, and starts from the first period P1. Accumulate the number of feature payouts up to the 15th period P15, store the accumulated value in the accumulated PS feature payout number, and calculate the cumulative number of consecutive feature payouts from the 1st period P1 to the 15th period P15 Then, the cumulative value is stored in the continuous PS payout number of the cumulative PS. Further, the totaling means 114a adds the total number of payouts in the period corresponding to the ring pointer from the first period P1 to the 15th period P15 to the total number of total payouts for every 400 games. The total number of feature payouts is updated by adding the number of feature payouts in the period corresponding to the ring pointer from the first period P1 to the 15th period P15 to the total cumulative feature payout number. The total number of consecutive feature payouts is updated by adding the number of consecutive feature payouts in the period corresponding to the ring pointer from the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 to the total number of consecutive feature payouts.

  The counting unit 114a updates the stored content of the game information storage unit 653, which is performed every 400 games when the number of games after the previous update of the ring pointer reaches 400, updates the ring pointer, and performs the first period The values of the total payout number, the bonus payout number, and the continuous payout number for the period corresponding to the updated ring pointer from P1 to the 15th period P15 are cleared to zero. The ring pointer is updated in the first period P1, the second period P2, the third period P3,..., The fourteenth period P14, the fifteenth period P15, the first period P1, the second period P2,. The first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 are repeated in order.

  Aggregating means 114a adds the total number of winning items + AT combination by adding the number of winning prizes as necessary to the values of each game, total accumulated items + AT combination payout number, and total total number of payouts (updated every game). The number of payouts and the total number of payouts (updated for each game) are updated.

b) Calculation means 114b
4 is based on the stored contents shown in FIG. 9, and the consecutive character ratio (6000 games), the character ratio (6000 games), the continuous character ratio (cumulative), and the character ratio (cumulative). Is calculated every 400 games.

  In the calculation of the continuous feature ratio (6000 games), the ratio (percentage) (%) of the cumulative PS continuous feature payout number to the total PS payout number (setting value common) is calculated. In the calculation of (game), the ratio (percentage) (%) of the total PS payout number of the cumulative PS to the total payout number of the cumulative PS is calculated. Furthermore, in the calculation of the ratio (cumulative item + AT role) (cumulative), the ratio (percentage) (%) of the total cumulative amount of bonus item + AT role payout number to the total cumulative total payout number (every game update) is calculated, In calculating the continuous feature ratio (cumulative), calculate the ratio (percentage) (%) of the total cumulative number of consecutive physical feature payouts to the total cumulative payout number. The ratio (percentage) (%) of the total number of paid-out items is calculated with respect to the total total number of pay-outs.

  It should be noted that when one of the total items exceeds the storage capacity, the subsequent total items may not be updated. For example, when the storage capacity of the total payout number (total cumulative number) is exceeded during the update 400 game, the value of the update timing immediately before exceeding the capacity is stored even when the update timing is reached. However, the bonus item + AT bonus payout number (cumulative) updated every game is updated until the update timing. Here, when the (combination + AT combination) ratio (cumulative) is calculated by using the total payout number (total total) updated every 400 games and the accessory + AT combination payout number (total total), the update timing is calculated. The value calculated in (1) will deviate from the actual value. Therefore, in this embodiment, the storage area of the total payout number (every game update) is set in the game information storage means 653, and the total payout number (every game update) and the accessory + AT bonus payout number (total total) are used. The ratio (cumulative) is calculated. In this way, each ratio can be accurately calculated even when one of the total items exceeds the storage capacity.

Further, the payout display control means 118 stops the display of the special information (error code display) that has been performed on the payout display 46. However, in the case of an RWM error (E4 error), the RWM error (E4 error) is canceled by changing the setting.

(Sub control board)
Next, the configuration of the sub control board 73 will be described in detail. The sub control board 73 receives a command transmitted from the main control board 63 and performs effects according to the operation and state of the main control board 63. As shown in FIG. 4, the sub control board 73 has various functions realized by executing a program stored in the memory 75 and various functions realized by controlling hardware. Yes. Each means in the sub control board 73 in FIG. 4 is a function realized by the main CPU 71.

(1) Sub-control command receiving means 201
The sub-control command receiving unit 201 in FIG. 4 receives a command including various data transmitted by the sub-control command transmitting unit 111 of the main control board 63 (main CPU 61) as predetermined information. The sub-control command receiving unit 201 receives a command transmitted from the main control board 63 and, when receiving the command, notifies each function provided in the sub-control board 73 according to the type of the command.

(2) Production content determination means 202
The effect content determination unit 202 in FIG. 4 is for determining the content of the effect according to the command received by the sub-control command receiving unit 201. Specifically, a moving image to be displayed on the liquid crystal display 27 is determined from an effect pattern set in advance corresponding to the progress of the game, the result of the role lottery means 103, or the like from the speakers 31L and 31R. An effect such as determining the music and sound to be played, and flashing the light sources of the upper lamp unit 33 and the lower lamp units 37L and 37R all at once or individually is determined.

  Then, the production content determination means 202 corresponds to the received command during the advantageous section, and the winning combination group “push order bell” (in this embodiment, the winning combination groups “left correct answer bell 1” to “left Correct answer bell 4 ”,“ middle correct answer bell 1 ”to“ middle correct answer bell 4 ”,“ right correct answer bell 1 ”to“ right correct answer bell 4 ”)) (push order commands“ 1 ”to“ 3 ”) If the received command is not received during the advantageous section, that is, the push order command is received. If not, the content of the effect is determined so as to execute an effect in which the operation mode advantageous to the player is not known. Specifically, even if the winning combination command related to winning is received in the winning combination group “push order bell”, but the push order command is not received, it is not in the advantageous section. In this case, it is understood that the production content determination means 202 has won one of the winning group “push order bell”, but the winning group “left correct answer bell 1” to “left correct answer bell 4”, “middle correct answer bell 1”. The first production is selected from the production group that does not know which one of “Correct correct answer bell 4”, “Right correct answer bell 1” to “Right correct answer bell 4” is won. When the winning combination command that can specify the flag type “I” and the push order command “1” are received, any of the winning combination groups “left correct answer bell 1” to “left correct answer bell 4” is received. One effect is selected from the effects that indicate that the player has been won or the effect that prompts the user to first operate the left stop switch 21L. When the push order commands “2” and “3” shown in FIG. 8 are received, the production contents are determined in the same manner.

  In addition, when the winning content determination means 202 receives a winning combination command that can specify any of “A” to “H” as a flag type, it similarly indicates the possibility of winning each winning group. One production is selected from the production group to be performed. Further, when the winning combination command of “Z” as the flag type is received, similarly, one effect is selected from the effect group corresponding to the loss so as not to impair the player's expectation.

  The effect content determination means 202 is advantageous when the received command is a winning combination command (winning combination group “Cherry”) that can specify “F” as a non-favorable section and flag type, and a winning section shift lottery. It is determined that the section transition determination effect is to be performed at the timing after the first stop operation of the stop switch, and the effect display control is performed at the timing when the command indicating the stop operation of any one of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R is first received after the determination. The means 203 is instructed to perform the advantageous section transition determination effect, and the advantageous display section determination effect is performed at the timing after the first stop operation by the effect display control means 203. Further, when the received command is a winning combination command (winning combination group “7-match replay”) that can specify “E” as the non-advantageous section and flag type, and an advantageous section shift lottery, Then, it is determined that the advantageous section transition determination effect is performed at the timing after all the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are stopped, and the effect display control means is performed at the timing when all the commands indicating the stop of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are received after the determination. 203 is instructed to perform an advantageous section transition determination effect, and the advantageous display section determination effect is performed at the timing after all reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are stopped by the effect display control means 203. Note that it is not always necessary to carry out the advantageous section transition determination effect. For example, the pattern in which the advantageous section lamp 47 is lit after all reels are stopped is determined to be advantageous section transition determination compared to other patterns in which the advantageous section lamp 47 is lit. Although the implementation ratio at which the effect is implemented is low, or the implementation is performed in another pattern, the implementation may be configured not to be implemented in the pattern.

  As the effect contents, for example, the effect content determining means 202 displays the operation order of the left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R on the liquid crystal display 27, or the left / middle / right stops by the speakers 31L and 31R. The operation order of each of the switches 21L, 21M, 21R is notified by voice, or the operation order of each of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R is made by blinking the lamps provided in each of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R in a predetermined order. And the backlights provided on the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R blink in a predetermined order to notify the operation order of the left, middle, and right stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R. There are production contents such as.

  Then, the effect content determination unit 202 transmits a signal including data regarding the determined effect content to the effect display control unit 203 and the audio control unit 204 described below.

(3) Effect display control means 203
The effect display control means 203 of FIG. 4 displays a moving image on the liquid crystal display 27 based on the data included in the signal transmitted from the effect content determination means 202, the upper lamp portion 33, the lower lamp portions 37L and 37R, and the like. Performing effects such as flashing the light sources simultaneously or individually.

(4) Voice control means 204
The voice control unit 204 of FIG. 4 executes effects such as playing music from the speakers 31L and 31R and outputting sound based on the data included in the signal transmitted from the effect content determination unit 202.

(Operation)
Next, a part of the operation of the slot machine 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. In the present embodiment, during the AT period and during AT preparation, the winning combination group “push order bell” (in this embodiment, “left correct answer bell 1” to “left correct answer bell 4”, “middle correct answer bell 1”). Each of the stop switches that are advantageous to the player corresponding to the elected winning group “push order bell” when winning “middle correct answer bell 4”, “right correct answer bell 1” to “right correct answer bell 4”) An effect of notifying the operation order of 21L, 21M, and 21R is executed on the sub-control board 73, and the operation order of each stop switch 21L, 21M, and 21R that is advantageous to the player is notified.

  In the following description, the various functions and means described above, and other functions realized by executing various programs by the main CPU 61 of the main control board 63 and the sub CPU 71 of the sub control board 73 (detailed explanation is omitted). This is a process executed by. In addition, since various processes executed in the following process are set to ON (ON) or OFF (OFF), and the process of setting values to various flags is a well-known technique, its details The detailed explanation is omitted.

1. Main Process The main process will be described with reference to FIG. However, the main process is a process executed by the main CPU 61. It is assumed that one game is from the start of setting the bet number of medals until the bet number of medals for the next game can be set. That is, the process from the start of the determination process in step S201 of the main process in FIG. 12 to the process immediately before the determination process in step S201 is performed from step S202 to S224 is defined as one game.

  First, when the bet number of medals can be set, it is determined whether or not a prescribed number (two or three in this embodiment) of medals has been inserted, and whether or not the bet number of medals has reached a predetermined bet number ( In step S201, the process waits until it is determined that a prescribed number of medals have been inserted (NO in step S201). On the other hand, when it is determined that a prescribed number of medals have been inserted (YES in step S201), it is determined whether or not the start switch 19 has been operated (step S202). Wait until it is determined that the start switch 19 has been operated (NO in step S202). If it is determined that the start switch 19 has been operated (YES in step S202), a lottery process by the winning lottery means 103 is executed (step S202). Step S203).

  In step S203, the game section control means 100c determines whether the winning combination group won in the game whose advantageous section count flag is “0 (off)” (when the game is a game in a non-advantageous section). If the winning group is “Cherry” or “Seven Complete Replays”, the lottery will be selected, and if the lottery is selected, the initial number of games will be drawn. Hold temporarily. In addition, the game section control means 100c determines that the winning combination group selected in the game whose advantageous section count flag is “1 (on)” (when the game is a game in the advantageous section) is the winning combination group “Cherry”. ”,“ 7-match replay ”,“ watermelon ”,“ chance ”, and“ RBB ”, the extra game number lottery is performed, and the selected extra game number is temporarily held.

  Further, in step S203, the command creating means 108 includes contents indicating the gaming state such as the non-advantageous section and the advantageous section, contents indicating the winning flag type (winning combination command), and an advantageous pressing order (pressing set for the winning combination) A command including a forward command) is created, and the created command is transmitted from the main CPU 61 to the sub CPU 71. Here, the production content determination means 202 of the sub CPU 71 wins the winning combination command and the advantageous interval shift lottery that can specify “F” (winning combination group “Cherry”) as the non-advantageous section and flag type of the received command. In some cases, it is determined that the advantageous section transition determination effect is performed at a timing after the first stop operation on the stop switch. Further, when the received command is a winning combination command and an advantageous section shift lottery that can specify “E” (winning combination group “7-match replay”) as the non-favorable section and flag type Then, it is determined that the advantageous section transition determination effect is performed at the timing after all the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are stopped.

  In step S203, the combination lottery means 103 sets a lottery flag including a 3-bit advantageous section lamp lighting timing flag based on the combination lottery result. In this embodiment, as the advantageous section lamp lighting timing flag, 1 is set only to the first bit (“010”) when the winning group “Cherry” is won and the advantageous section shift lottery is won (“010”). If the group “7-match replay” is won and the advantageous section shift lottery is won, 1 is set only to the 0th bit (“001”), otherwise, all bits are set to 0 (“ 000 ").

  Then, after the combination lottery process, rotation of each of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is started (step S204). It is determined whether or not the stop switch corresponding to one of the rotating reels has been operated (step S205). If it is determined that the stop switch has not been operated (NO in step S205), the operation is not performed. Wait until done. In step S205, when the stop switch 21L, 21M, or 21R is operated, the command creating means 108 creates a command including the contents indicating the operated stop switch, and the created command is sent from the main CPU 61 to the sub CPU 71. Sent to.

  When it is determined that the stop switch corresponding to one of the rotating reels has been operated (YES in step S205), the payout display control means 118 sets the advantageous section count flag to “1 (ON)” (counting). It is determined whether or not the content (step S206). When the advantageous section count flag is “1 (ON)” (YES in step S206), since the game is in the advantageous section, the process proceeds to step S208. On the other hand, when the advantageous section count flag is not “1 (ON)” (NO in step S206), the payout display control means 118 executes the advantageous section lamp lighting control data setting process 1 because the game is in the non-favorable section. (Step S207), the process proceeds to Step S208.

  In the advantageous section lamp lighting control data setting process 1, the advantageous section lamp lighting control data is set based on the first bit of the advantageous section lamp lighting timing flag, and the first bit of the advantageous section lamp lighting timing flag is “ When it is “1”, the advantageous section lamp lighting control data is set to “1” (content indicating that the advantageous section lamp 47 is lit), and when the first bit is “0”, the advantageous section lamp lighting control data is set. Do not change the value of. If the advantageous section count flag is not “1 (ON)”, the setting content of the advantageous section lamp lighting control data is “0” (the advantageous section lamp 47 is turned off) immediately before the execution of the advantageous section lamp lighting control data setting process 1. ). As described above, the advantageous section lamp lighting control data setting process 1 wins the winning combination group “Cherry”, and conditions for winning the advantageous section transition lottery (determination of transition from the non-favorable section to the advantageous section) performed thereby. The advantageous section lamp lighting control data is set to “1”.

  However, in a game in which the advantageous section count flag is not “1 (on)” (when the game is a game in a non-advantageous section), the winning combination group “Cherry” is won, and the advantageous section transition lottery performed thereby When elected (when the transition from the non-favorable section to the advantageous section is determined), the advantageous section lamp lighting control data is set to “1” at the timing after the first stop operation for any of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R. The advantageous section lamp 47 is lit in the ramp process (step S435) in the timer interrupt process of FIG. Also, in step S203, the winning combination command that can specify “F” (winning combination group “Cherry”) as the non-favorable section and flag type is transmitted from the main CPU 61 to the sub CPU 71 and the winning of the advantageous section shift lottery is performed. It is determined by the content determination means 202 that the advantageous section transition determination effect is performed at the timing after the first stop operation of the stop switch. Then, when a command including the content indicating the stop switch operated in step S205 for the first time after the determination is transmitted from the main CPU 61 to the sub CPU 71, the effect display control means 203 of the sub CPU 71 performs an advantageous section transition determination effect. . As described above, when the advantageous section lamp lighting control data is set to “1” and the advantageous section lamp 47 is lit before all rotation of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R stops, all the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are lit. An advantageous section transition determination effect is performed before the rotation stops.

  It should be noted that the advantageous section transition determination effect may be implemented by the process on the main control board 63 side instead of the process on the sub control board 73 side. For example, the first stop reel has a special operation. In addition, control for delaying a period during which the stop operation after the second reel is effective may be performed.

  Due to the reel rotation stop control by the reel rotation control means 106, the rotation of the reel corresponding to the operated stop switch is stopped (step S208). In step S208, when the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are stopped, the command creating unit 108 creates a command including contents indicating the stopped reels, and the created command is transmitted from the main CPU 61 to the sub CPU 71.

  Subsequently, a reel error determination process (E5 error) is performed (step S209). The reel error determination process (E5 error) is a process for determining whether the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are rotating normally.

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not all the rotations of the left, middle and right reels 13L, 13M and 13R have been stopped (step S210). If it is determined that any of the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is rotating (NO in step S210), the process returns to step S205. On the other hand, when it is determined that all the rotations of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R have stopped (YES in step S210), the symbol determination unit 109 performs symbol determination (that is, winning determination). (Step S211).

  Then, after the symbol determination process (winning determination process), a game information totaling process described in detail later with reference to FIGS. 13 and 14 is performed (step S212). Subsequently, an AT period remaining game counter update process, which will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 15, is performed (step S213). Subsequently, an advantageous section continuous game remaining number counter update process, which will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 16, is performed (step S214). Subsequently, a medal payout process is executed by the payout control means 110 as required (step S215). Subsequently, when the advantageous section flag is “1 (on)”, a 2400 counter update process, which will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 17, is performed (step S216), and the advantageous section flag is “1 (on)”. If not, the process of step S216 is not performed, and the process proceeds to the next step 216.

  The AT period game remaining number counter update process (step S213) and the advantageous period continuous game remaining number counter update process (step S214) are performed before the medal payout process (step S215). However, the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, it may be performed after the medal payout process (step S215).

  Since the game information aggregation process is performed after the symbol determination process (winning determination process) and before the medal payout process, for example, even when a setting change occurs unexpectedly during the payout of medals, Aggregation processing has already been performed. Therefore, the inspector can easily check or confirm the game inspection information including the calculation results (each ratio: see FIG. 11) obtained by performing a predetermined calculation using the total data collected by the game information totaling process. For example, even if a setting change occurs unexpectedly during the payout of medals, the aggregation items can be accurately counted.

  The payout display control means 118 determines whether or not the advantageous section count flag is “1 (ON)” (content indicating the count) (step S217). If the advantageous section count flag is “1 (ON)” (YES in step S217), the game proceeds to the advantageous section, and the process proceeds to step S219. On the other hand, if the advantageous section count flag is not on (NO in step S217), the payout display control means 118 executes the advantageous section lamp lighting control data setting process 2 because the game is in the non-favorable section (step S218). Proceed to step S219.

  In the advantageous section lamp lighting control data setting process 2, the advantageous section lamp lighting control data is set based on the 0th bit of the advantageous section lamp lighting timing flag. When it is “1”, the advantageous section lamp lighting control data is set to “1” (content indicating that the advantageous section lamp 47 is lit). When the 0th bit is “0”, the advantageous section lamp lighting control data is set. Do not change the value of. If the advantageous section count flag is not “1 (ON)”, immediately before the execution of the advantageous section lamp lighting control data setting processing 2, the winning combination group “Cherry” is won in the non-favorable section, and the advantageous section performed thereby. Except in the case of winning the transition lottery, the setting contents of the advantageous section lamp lighting control data is “0” (content indicating that the advantageous section lamp 47 is extinguished). In this case, the advantageous section lamp lighting control data is set to “1” in the advantageous section lamp lighting control data setting process 1 in step S207. . In this way, the advantageous section lamp lighting control data setting process 2 wins the winning combination group “7-match replay” and wins the advantageous section transition lottery performed thereby (determination of transition from the non-favorable section to the advantageous section). This is a process for setting the advantageous section lamp lighting control data to "1" on the condition of.

  However, in a game where the advantageous section count flag is off (when the game is a game in a non-advantageous section), the winning group “7-match replay” is won and the advantageous section shift lottery is won. In the case (when the transition from the non-favorable section to the advantageous section is determined), the advantageous section lamp lighting control data is set to “1” at the timing after all reels are stopped, and the lamp processing in the timer interruption process of FIG. In step S435, the advantageous section lamp 47 is turned on. In step S203, the winning combination command that can specify “E” as the non-favorable section and the flag type and the winning of the advantageous section shift lottery are transmitted from the main CPU 61 to the sub CPU 71. It is determined to perform the advantageous section transition determination effect at a later timing. Then, when a command including the contents indicating the stopped reels is transmitted from the main CPU 61 to the sub CPU 71 for all reels in step S210, an advantageous section transition determining effect is performed by the effect display control means 203 of the sub CPU 71. As described above, when the advantageous section lamp lighting control data is set to “1” and the advantageous section lamp 47 is lit after all the rotations of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are stopped, all the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are turned on. After stopping, an advantageous section transition decision effect is performed.

  It should be noted that the advantageous section transition determination effect may be implemented by the process on the main control board 63 side instead of the process on the sub control board 73 side. For example, the third stop reel has a special operation. May be performed, or control for delaying the payout process may be performed.

  The payout display control means 118 determines whether or not the advantageous section count flag is “1 (ON)” (content indicating the count) (step S219). If the advantageous section count flag is not “1 (ON)” (NO in step S219), the game proceeds to the non-advantageous section, and the process proceeds to step S223. On the other hand, when the advantageous section count flag is “1 (ON)” (YES in step S219), since the game is in the advantageous section, the gaming section control means 100c satisfies any of the plurality of advantageous section termination conditions. An advantageous section end determination process which will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 18 is performed (step S220).

  If the determination result of the advantageous section end determination process (step S220) does not satisfy any of the plurality of advantageous section end conditions (NO in step S221), the payout display control means 118 proceeds to step S223. On the other hand, if any of the plurality of advantageous section end conditions is satisfied (YES in step S221), the payout display control means 118 performs advantageous section lamp lighting control data setting processing 3 (step S222), and the process proceeds to step S223. In the advantageous section lamp lighting control data setting process 3, the advantageous section lamp lighting control data is set to “0” (content indicating that the advantageous section lamp is extinguished). When the advantageous section lamp lighting control data in step S223 is set to “0”, the advantageous section lamp 47 is turned off in the lamp processing (step S435) in the timer interruption process of FIG.

  The counting unit 114a performs an advantageous section count flag setting process (step S223). The advantageous section count flag setting process is performed by setting the advantageous section lamp lighting control data set at the time of the processing as the advantageous section count flag. In other words, when the set value of the advantageous section lamp lighting control data is “1” (content indicating that the advantageous section lamp 47 is lit) at the time of the advantageous section counting flag setting process, the advantageous section counting flag is set to “1” (content indicating lighting of the advantageous section lamp 47). On) ”(counting one game as a game in the advantageous section), and the set value of the advantageous section lamp lighting control data is“ 0 ”(content indicating that the advantageous section lamp 47 is turned off). The advantageous section counting flag is set to “0 (off)” (one game is not counted as a game in the advantageous section). The advantageous section count flag “0 (off)” when the game is started indicates that the game is a game in the non-favorable section, and the advantageous section count flag “1 (on) when the game is started. ")" Indicates that the game is a game in an advantageous section.

  However, in this embodiment, the advantageous section count flag setting process is after the rotation of all the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is stopped regardless of the setting timing of the advantageous section lamp lighting control data, and The game information for collecting various data after all the timings for setting the advantageous section lamp lighting control data in the game have elapsed and until the betting number of medals for the next game can be set. Performed after the aggregation process.

  The advantageous section count flag setting process is performed using the advantageous section lamp lighting control data. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the advantageous section when the advantageous section count flag is “0 (off)” (not on). When any one of the three bits of the lamp lighting timing flag is “1”, the advantageous section count flag is set to “1 (ON)”, and the advantageous section count flag is “1 (ON)” (ON In this case, the advantageous section count flag may be set to “0 (off)” when the advantageous section end condition is satisfied. Further, the series of processing in steps S206 and S207 and the series of processing in steps S217 and S218 may be performed by the same subroutine processing. In this case, the number of bits of the advantageous section lamp lighting timing flag used when transferring to the subroutine is handed over.

  In addition, without using the advantageous section lamp lighting control data and the advantageous section lamp lighting timing flag, in the non-favorable section, the winning group “7-match replay” and “cherry” will be won, and the advantageous section transition lottery will be won. The advantageous section count flag is set to “1 (on)”, and the advantageous section count flag is set to “0 (off)” when any of the plurality of advantageous section end conditions is satisfied in the advantageous section. It may be.

  In addition, when the winning group “Cherry” is elected in the non-favorable section and wins the advantageous section shift lottery performed thereby (when the transition from the non-favorable section to the advantageous section is determined), the first stop Sometimes, if the cherry does not stop on the winning line, the advantageous section transition determination effect may be performed after all reels are stopped.

  The gaming section control means 100c performs an AT period flag setting process (step S224), and returns to step S201. The flag setting process during the AT period shifts to a game (advantageous RT (RT2)) that is determined to become an advantageous RT (RT2) when the game won in the advantageous area transition lottery is a game other than the advantageous RT (RT2). In the immediately preceding game), or when the game won in the advantageous segment shift lottery is the advantageous RT (RT2) game, the AT period is set in the winning game (the AT period flag is set to “1 (on ) "(Content indicating that it is during the AT period)). In addition, the game section control means 100c sets the AT period flag to “0 (off)” (content indicating that it is not in the AT period) in a game that satisfies any of the plurality of advantageous section end conditions. The AT period flag “0 (off)” when the game is started indicates that the game is not an AT period within the advantageous section, and the AT period flag “0” when the game is started. “Off” indicates that the game is an AT-period game within the advantageous section.

1.1 Game Information Totaling Process The game information totaling process (step S212) of FIG. 12 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The totaling means 114a updates the total payout number (400) update process for adding the number of winnings in the current game to the total payout number in the period corresponding to the ring pointer in the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 in FIG. Then, a total payout number (every game: cumulative) update process for adding the number of winnings in the current game to the total payout number (every game update) in FIG. 9 is performed (step S231).

  The counting means 114a determines whether or not it is in the first kind of accessory (for example, bonus game state (RBB)) (step S232). If it is determined that it is not in the first type combination (NO in step S232), the process proceeds to step S234. On the other hand, when it is determined that it is in the first type of accessory (YES in step S232), the counting unit 114a continues the period corresponding to the ring pointer from the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 in FIG. A continuous feature payout number (400) update process is performed to add the number of winnings in the current game to the number of payout items (step S233). Then, the process proceeds to step S234.

  In step S234, the counting means 114a determines whether or not it is in the first type combination or the second type combination (for example, bonus game state (RBB)), and in the first type combination or the second type combination. If it is determined that it is not (NO in step S234), it is determined whether or not a normal accessory is being used (step S235). When it is determined in step S234 that it is in the first type of accessory or the second type of accessory (YES in step S234), and in step S235, it is determined that it is in the normal accessory (YES in step S235). Aggregating means 114a updates the number of bonuses to be paid out (400) by adding the number of winnings in the current game to the number of bonuses to be paid in the period corresponding to the ring pointer from the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 in FIG. Processing is performed (step S236). Subsequently, the counting means 114a performs a process of updating the bonus item + AT bonus payout number (cumulative) for adding the winning number in the current game to the bonus character + AT bonus payout number (cumulative) of FIG. 9 (step S237), and step S240. Proceed to

  If the counting means 114a determines in step S235 that it is not an ordinary accessory (NO in step S235), the counting means 114a determines whether or not the command creation means 108 has created push order commands “1” to “3” ( Step S238). Here, when any one of the push order commands “1” to “3” has been created (YES in step S238), the advantage is in the advantageous section (AT preparation / AT period) and in the push order. Since the winning combination group (the winning combination group “push order bell”, “RT2 transition replay 1” to “RT2 transition replay 3”) is selected, the counting means 114a performs the role + AT of FIG. A bonus-AT bonus payout number (cumulative) update process for adding the winning number in the current game to the bonus payout number (cumulative) is performed (step S239), and the process proceeds to step S240. In step S239, for example, the game is updated based on the number of paid-out medals for the game in which the advantageous pushing order is notified at the time of winning the winning combination group “push order bell” during the AT period. That is, for example, in a game in which an advantageous pushing order was notified at the time of winning of the winning group “push order bell” during the AT period, the game was obtained when the player did not follow the notification but followed the notification. Even if the payout number is smaller than the wax payout number, the renewal is performed with the small payout number. Therefore, if the payout number is “0” as a result of not following the notification, counting (addition) in the game is not performed. In addition, in the case of the winning combination groups “RT2 transition replay 1” to “RT2 transition replay 3”, there is no payout of medals, and therefore the processing for updating the feature + AT role payout number (total) in FIG. 9 is not performed, or , “0” is added to the cumulative update process. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S238 that the command creation means 108 has not created a push order command (NO in step S238), the winning group having no difference in the advantage depending on the push order is won, or The winning combination group (the winning combination group “push order bell”, “RT2 transition replay 1” to “RT2 transition replay 3”) having a different advantage depending on the pressing order is won, but since it is not in the advantageous section, the process proceeds to step S240. move on.

  In step S240, the counting unit 114a performs a total game number + 1 update process for adding +1 to the total number of games (cumulative). The total number of games (cumulative) is a cumulative game after installation or after RWM clear, and is stored in a predetermined storage area (not shown in FIG. 9) set in the game information storage means 653.

  Subsequently, the counting unit 114a determines whether or not the advantageous section count flag is “1 (on)” (content indicating the count) (step S241). Here, when the advantageous section count flag is “1 (ON)” (YES in step S241), since it is an advantageous section, an advantageous section game number + 1 update process for adding +1 to the advantageous section game number (cumulative) is performed ( The process proceeds to step S242) and step S243. On the other hand, if the advantageous section count flag is not “1 (ON)” (NO in step S241), since it is not an advantageous section, the number of advantageous section games (cumulative) is not updated, and the process proceeds to step S243. Here, the number of advantageous section games (cumulative) is the cumulative number of games since installation or after RWM clear, and is stored in a predetermined storage area (not shown in FIG. 9) set in the game information storage means 653. . In addition, about the number of advantageous section games (cumulative) and the total number of games (cumulative), the structure which does not total may be sufficient.

  In step S243, the counting unit 114a performs 400 counter update processing in which 1 is added to the 400 counter 652. Then, the counting unit 114a determines whether or not the 400 counter 652 is 400 (step S244). If it is determined that the 400 counter 652 is not 400 (NO in step S244), the process returns to the main process in FIG. On the other hand, when it is determined that the 400 counter 652 is 400 (YES in step S244), the counting unit 114a resets the 400 counter 652 to 0 and proceeds to step S245.

  Subsequently, the counting means 114a (i) accumulates the total payout number from the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 in FIG. 9 and sets the accumulated result as the total payout number for the latest 6000 games, and the total payout number of the accumulated PS. The total payout number (6000) update process to be stored in (ii), the consecutive feature payouts for the latest 6000 games are accumulated by accumulating the consecutive feature payout numbers from the first period P1 to the 15th period P15 in FIG. Number of consecutive feature payout number (6000) update processing stored in the cumulative PS continuous feature payout number as the number of sheets, (iii) Cumulative accumulation of the number of feature payouts from the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 in FIG. The update process of (i) to (iii) of the process of updating the number of paid-out items (6000) stored in the accumulated number of paid-out items for the latest 6000 games is performed for each 400 games. (Step S2 5).

  Subsequent to step S245, the counting unit 114a (iv) adds the total number of payouts in the period corresponding to the ring pointer from the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 (the latest 400). The total payout number (cumulative) update processing for updating the total payout number by adding the total payout number for the game), (v) from the first period P1 to the total cumulative continuous feature payout number in FIG. Consecutive feature payouts that update the total cumulative feature payout number by adding the consecutive feature payout number (total payout number for the last 400 games) corresponding to the ring pointer of the 15th term P15 Number of sheets (cumulative) update processing, (vi) The number of bonuses to be paid out in the period corresponding to the ring pointer from the first period P1 to the 15th period P15 in the total cumulative number of paid-out figures in FIG. Total number of payouts) The character object payout number Total update processing for updating the character object payout number of total cumulative by adding, performs update processing to each every 400 games (iv) ~ (vi) (step S246).

  Subsequent to step S246, the counting unit 114a sets the ratio calculation flag stored in the flag storage unit 651 to ON (step S247), and proceeds to step S248. By setting the ratio calculation flag to ON, each ratio calculation described later with reference to FIG. 22 is performed (every 400 games).

  In step S248, the counting unit 114a updates the ring pointer. The ring pointer is pointed in the order of the first period P1, the second period P2, the third period P3,..., The fourteenth period P14, the fifteenth period P15, the first period P1, the second period P2,. In other words, it is updated every 400 games so as to point out the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 in order.

  The counting means 114a clears the total payout number (total old payout number for 400 games) corresponding to the updated ring pointer from the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 in FIG. Is set to 0, and the value obtained by clearing the consecutive feature payout number (the oldest 400 consecutive game payout number) corresponding to the ring pointer from the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 in FIG. Is cleared to 0, clearing the number of bonuses to be paid out in the period corresponding to the ring pointer from the 1st period P1 to the 15th period P15 in FIG. (Step S249), the process returns to the main process in FIG.

1.2 AT Period Game Remaining Number Counter Update Process The AT period game remaining number counter update process (step S213) in FIG. 12 will be described with reference to FIG. Note that the AT period game remaining number counter 654 is initialized in the process of step S357 of the advantageous section end determination process of FIG. 18 described later in the previous advantageous section ("0" is set).

  The game section control means 100c determines whether or not the advantageous section count flag is “1 (ON)” (step S271). If the advantageous section count flag is not “1 (ON)” (NO in step S271), the processing returns to the main process in FIG.

  On the other hand, when the advantageous section count flag is on (“1”) (YES in step S271), the gaming section control means 100c has set AT, that is, the AT period flag is “1 (on)”. Whether or not (step S272). If the AT has not been set, that is, if the AT period flag is not “1 (ON)” (NO in step S272), the process returns to the main process in FIG.

  On the other hand, when the AT has been set, that is, when the AT period flag is “1 (ON)” (YES in step S272), the gaming section control unit 100c determines whether or not to set the initial number of games (initial game). Whether or not the number is temporarily held is determined (step S273). When the initial game number is not set (the initial game number is not temporarily held) (NO in step S273), the process proceeds to step S275.

  On the other hand, when the initial game number is set (the initial game number is temporarily held) (YES in step S273), the game section control means 100c temporarily holds the AT period game remaining number counter 654. The initial number of games being set is set, the initial number of games temporarily held is discarded (step S274), and the process proceeds to step S275.

  In step S275, the game section control means 100c subtracts 1 from the value of the AT period remaining game counter 654 because the game is a game during the AT period, and proceeds to step S276.

  The game section control means 100c determines whether or not to add the added game number (whether or not the added game number is temporarily held) (step S276). When the number of added games is not added and determined (the number of added games is not temporarily held) (NO in step S276), the process returns to the main process in FIG.

  On the other hand, the game section control means 100c temporarily holds the added game number in the AT period remaining game counter 654 when adding the added game number (temporarily holding the added game number) (YES in step S276). The added number of added games is added, the number of added games temporarily held is discarded (step S277), and the process returns to the main process of FIG.

1.3 Advantageous Section Continuous Game Remaining Counter Update Processing The advantageous section continuous game remaining counter update processing (step S214) of FIG. 12 will be described with reference to FIG. The advantageous section continuous game remaining number counter 655 is initialized in the previous advantageous section in step S357 of the advantageous section end determination process of FIG. 18 described later (1500 is set).

  The game section control means 100c determines whether or not the advantageous section count flag is “1 (ON)” (step S291). If the advantageous section count flag is not “1 (ON)” (NO in step S291), the processing returns to the main process in FIG.

  On the other hand, when the advantageous section count flag is ON “1 (ON)” (YES in step S291), the gaming section control means 100c subtracts 1 from the value of the advantageous section continuous game remaining counter 655 because it is an advantageous section. Then (step S292), the process returns to the main process in FIG.

1.4 2400 Counter Update Processing The 2400 counter update processing (step S216) in FIG. 12 will be described with reference to FIG. However, in the 2400 counter update process, the number of winnings for each combination stored in the ROM 67 used for winning determination and payout (see the “payout” column in FIG. 6 for the number of winnings for each combination). The 2400 counter 656 is initialized (set to 0) in the process of step S357 in the advantageous section end determination process of FIG.

  The game section control means 100c determines whether or not the game is a re-game (step S301). If the game is a re-game (NO in step S301), the process proceeds to step S303.

  On the other hand, if the game is not a re-game (YES in step S301), the game section control unit 100c adds the number of medals paid out in the game to the value of the 2400 counter 656 (step S302), and proceeds to step S303. For example, the game is updated based on the number of paid-out medals for the game in which the advantageous pushing order is notified when the winning group “pushing order bell” is won during the AT period. That is, for example, in a game in which an advantageous pushing order was notified at the time of winning of the winning group “push order bell” during the AT period, the game was obtained when the player did not follow the notification but followed the notification. Even if the payout number is smaller than the wax payout number, the renewal is performed with the small payout number. Therefore, if the payout number is “0” as a result of not following the notification, counting (addition) in the game is not performed.

  The game section control means 100c determines whether or not the previous game is a re-game (step S303). If the previous game is a re-game (NO in step S303), the process proceeds to step S305.

  On the other hand, if the previous game is not a re-game (YES in step S303), the game section control means 100c subtracts the number of inserted medals in the game from the value of the 2400 counter 656 (step S304), and the process goes to step S305. move on.

  The game section control means 100c determines whether or not the value of the 2400 counter 656 is 0 or less (step S305). If the value of the 2400 counter 656 is not less than 0 (NO in step S305), the process returns to the main process in FIG.

  On the other hand, when the count value of the 2400 counter 656 is 0 or less (YES in step S305), the game section control unit 100c clears the value of the 2400 counter 656 (sets the count value to “0”) (step S306). ), The process returns to the main process of FIG.

  If it is determined in step S305 that the value of the 2400 counter 656 is less than 0, if the value of the 2400 counter 656 is not less than 0 (NO in step S305), the process returns to the main process in FIG. If the value of the 2400 counter 656 is less than 0 (YES in step S305), the value of the 2400 counter 656 is cleared (set the count value to “0”) in step S306, and the process returns to the main process in FIG. It may be.

  In the 2400 counter update process of FIG. 17, the number of medals obtained decreases in the sections other than the AT period of the advantageous section (the non-advantageous section and the AT of the advantageous section are being prepared), so the first game of the advantageous section is included. In one or more games, the value of the 2400 counter 656 at the start of the game is “0”.

  In addition, in the 2400 counter update process of FIG. 17, a process for determining whether or not the advantageous section count flag is “1 (on)” is added before step S301, and the advantageous section count flag is not “1 (on)”. In this case, the process returns to the main process of FIG. 12, and when the advantageous section count flag is “1 (ON)”, the process may proceed to step S301 to perform the processes after step S301.

  Here, the 2400 counter update process of FIG. 17 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 25 (a), an advantageous section shift lottery is won in the game at time T0, the number of medals decreases until the game at time T1, and medals increase from the game immediately after the game at time T1. In this case, in each game before time T1, the value of the 2400 counter 656 is updated in accordance with the payout number and inserted number of medals by the processing of steps S301 to S304, and the value of the 2400 counter 656 is further updated by the processing of steps S305 to S306. It is determined that the value is “0” or less, and the value is cleared to “0”. In each game, the game at the lowest point corresponding to the lowest value of the cumulative difference obtained by accumulating the difference between the payout number and the inserted number in the advantageous section medal acquisition end condition is updated for each game. In FIG. 25 (a), the game at time T1 is once the lowest point game. In FIG. 25A, the lowest point at time T1 is updated later, but may not be updated. It should be noted that the value of the 2400 counter 656 is determined not to exceed “2400” in step S353 of the advantageous section end determination process described later with reference to FIG. 18 (the advantageous section medal acquisition end condition is not satisfied).

  Thereafter, the number of medals temporarily increases from the game immediately after the game at time T1, and then the number of medals decreases. In each game from the game immediately after the game at time T1 to the game immediately before the game at time T2, the value of the 2400 counter 656 is updated according to the number of coins paid out and inserted in steps S301 to S304. The processing of S305 to S306 determines that the value of the 2400 counter 656 is not “0” or less, and the count value is not cleared to “0” (the lowest point is not updated). It should be noted that the value of the 2400 counter 656 is determined not to exceed “2400” in step S353 of the advantageous section end determination process described later with reference to FIG. 18 (the advantageous section medal acquisition end condition is not satisfied).

  Further, the number of medals decreases until the game at time T3, and medals increase from the game immediately after the game at time T3. In this case, in each game from the game immediately after the game at time T2 to the game at time T3, the value of the 2400 counter 656 is updated according to the payout number and insertion number of medals by the processing of steps S301 to S304, and further step S305. Through the processing of S306, it is determined that the value of the 2400 counter 656 is “0” or less, and the value is cleared to “0”. In each game, the lowest point game corresponding to the lowest cumulative difference is updated for each game. In FIG. 25 (a), the game at time T3 is the lowest game, and is maintained until the end of the advantageous section. It should be noted that the value of the 2400 counter 656 is determined not to exceed “2400” in step S353 of the advantageous section end determination process described later with reference to FIG. 18 (the advantageous section medal acquisition end condition is not satisfied).

  Thereafter, the number of medals increases. In each game from the game immediately after the game at time T3 to the game immediately before the game at time T4, the value of the 2400 counter 656 is updated according to the number of paid out and inserted medals in steps S301 to S304. As a result of the processing in steps S305 to S306, it is determined that the value of the 2400 counter 656 is not “0” or less, and the count value is not cleared to “0” (the lowest point is not updated). It should be noted that the value of the 2400 counter 656 is determined not to exceed “2400” in step S353 of the advantageous section end determination process described later with reference to FIG. 18 (the advantageous section medal acquisition end condition is not satisfied).

  In the game at time T4, the value of the 2400 counter 656 is updated according to the payout number and inserted number of medals by the processing of steps S301 to S304, and the value of the 2400 counter 656 is "0" or less by the processing of steps S305 to S306. Otherwise, the count value is not cleared to “0” (the lowest point is not updated). It should be noted that the value of the 2400 counter 656 is determined to exceed “2400” in step S353 of the advantageous section end determination process, which will be described later with reference to FIG. As a result, the advantageous section ends at the game at time T4 (the game at time T4 becomes the final game in the advantageous section), and the game immediately after the game at time T4 changes to the non-advantageous section game. Thus, the advantageous section medal acquisition end condition is that the medal increase from the lowest point exceeds “2400”.

  In the example of FIG. 25 (b), the advantageous zone shift lottery is won in the game at time T10, the lowest point is in the game at time T11, and the number of medals is “minus” in the game at time T12. This is a case where the advantageous section is ended because the increase in medals from the lower point exceeds “2400”. In the example of FIG. 25 (c), the advantageous section shift lottery is won in the game at time T20, the lowest point is in the game at time T21 where the number of medals is “plus”, and the lowest point in the game at time T23. This is a case where the merit increase from “2400” exceeds “2400” and the advantageous section ends.

1.5 Advantageous Section End Determination Process The advantageous section end determination process (step S220) of FIG. 12 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The game section control means 100c determines whether or not the advantageous section count flag is “1 (ON)” (step S351). If the advantageous section count flag is not “1 (ON)” (NO in step S351), the processing returns to the main process of FIG. On the other hand, when the advantageous section count flag is “1 (ON)” (YES in step S351), the processes subsequent to step S352, such as determination processing as to whether or not any of a plurality of end conditions of the advantageous section is satisfied, are performed. Is done.

  In step S352, the game section control means 100c determines whether or not the advantageous section continuous game remaining number counter 655 is “0”, that is, whether or not the advantageous section continuous game end condition is satisfied. If the advantageous section continuous game remaining counter 655 is “0”, that is, if the advantageous section continuous game end condition is satisfied (YES in step S352), the process proceeds to step S356.

  On the other hand, the game section control means 100c determines that the advantageous section continuous game remaining number counter 655 is not “0”, that is, the advantageous section continuous game end condition is not satisfied (NO in step S352), and the value of the 2400 counter 656 is “2400”. ", That is, whether or not the advantageous section medal acquisition end condition is satisfied (step S353). When the value of the 2400 counter 656 exceeds “2400”, that is, when the advantageous section medal acquisition end condition is satisfied (YES in step S353), the process proceeds to step S356.

  On the other hand, when the value of the 2400 counter 656 does not exceed “2400”, that is, when the advantageous section medal acquisition end condition is not satisfied (NO in step S353), the gaming section control unit 100c determines that the AT has been set, that is, It is determined whether or not the AT period flag is “1 (ON)” (step S354). If the AT has not been set, that is, if the AT period flag is not “1 (ON)” (NO in step S354), the process returns to the main process in FIG.

  On the other hand, when the AT has been set, that is, when the AT period flag is “1 (ON)” (YES in step S354), the gaming section control means 100c has an AT period remaining game counter 654 of “0”. It is determined whether or not there is an AT period game end condition (step S355). If the AT period game remaining number counter 654 is not “0”, that is, if the AT period game end condition is not satisfied (NO in step S355), the process returns to the main process in FIG. On the other hand, if the AT period game remaining number counter 654 is “0”, that is, if the AT period game end condition is satisfied (YES in step S355), the process proceeds to step S356.

  In step S356, the game section control means 100c determines that any one of a plurality of advantageous section end conditions (an advantageous section continuous game end condition, an advantageous section medal acquisition end condition, an AT period game end condition) is satisfied, and the process proceeds to step S357. move on.

  In step S357, the game section control means 100c sets “1500” to the advantageous section continuous game remaining number counter 655 (initialization), sets “0” to the 2400 counter 656 (initialization), and performs AT period game remaining. The number counter 654 is set to “0” (initialization), and the process returns to the main process in FIG.

  The game section control means 100c, for example, initializes at the following timing instead of performing the process of step S357 for initializing the advantageous section continuous game remaining number counter 655, 2400 counter 656, and AT period remaining game counter 654. May be. For example, the AT period game remaining number counter update process (step S213) in the main process (FIG. 12) in the game won in the advantageous section lottery in step S203, the advantageous section continuous game remaining number counter update process (step S214), 2400 counter After the update process (step S216), the advantageous section continuous game remaining number counter 655, the 2400 counter 656, and the AT period remaining game counter 654 may be initialized. In addition, the AT period remaining game counter update process (step S213) in the main process (FIG. 12) in the game next to the game won in the advantageous section lottery in step S203, the advantageous section continuous game remaining counter update process (step S214). ) Prior to the 2400 counter update process (step S216), the advantageous section continuous game remaining number counter 655, the 2400 counter 656, and the AT period remaining game counter 654 may be initialized.

  Information on the three end conditions (advantageous section continuous game end condition, advantageous section medal acquisition end condition, AT period game end condition) is transmitted from the main board 63 to the sub-board 73, and the AT period is satisfied when these end conditions are satisfied. Or the fact that the advantageous section ends (for example, if the advantageous section ends due to the establishment of the advantageous section continuous game end condition, “the number of games in the advantageous section will reach 1500, so the advantageous section will end soon”, When the advantageous section ends due to the establishment of the advantageous section medal acquisition ending condition, “the advantageous section will be terminated because the specified number of sheets is reached” or the like may be notified.

2. Timer Interrupt Processing The timer interrupt processing will be described with reference to FIG. However, the timer interrupt process in FIG. 19 is a process executed by the main CPU 61.

  First, phase output processing is performed on each of the stepping motors as the left, middle, and right reel motors 14L, 14M, and 14R (step S431). Specifically, excitation data for rotation of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is output to each of the stepping motors.

  Command transmission processing is performed from the sub control command transmission unit 111 of the main CPU 61 to the sub control command reception unit 201 of the sub CPU 71 (step S432). Specifically, this command is a command transmission process to the sub CPU 71 that is normally transmitted from the main CPU 61, and is actually transmitted from the sub control command transmission unit 111 to the sub control command reception unit 201. .

  In the power supply unit including the power switch 50a and the like, it is determined whether or not the power is cut off (power supply is cut off, that is, power supply is stopped) (step S433). If it is determined that the power is cut off (YES in step S433), a power interruption process is performed (step S434), and the timer interrupt process is terminated. The power interruption process is a process executed by the main CPU 61. In the memory area called a stack, a stack pointer that holds the address of the most recently referred position is set, and then the power interruption flag is set. Setting and checksum value are set.

  When it is determined in the determination process in step S433 that the power is not turned off (NO in step S433), a ramp process is performed (step S435). Although not particularly shown, this lamp is a bet number display lamp, a replay display lamp, or the like, and is controlled by the main CPU 61. In the lamp processing in step S435, the payout display control means 118 sets the advantageous section lamp lighting control data to “1” (content indicating lighting of the advantageous section lamp) based on the advantageous section lamp lighting control data. In this case, control for turning on the advantageous section lamp 47 is performed. When the advantageous section lamp lighting control data is set to “0” (content indicating that the advantageous section lamp is turned off), the advantageous section lamp 47 is turned off. Control to make it happen.

  Then, port input processing is performed (step S436). This port input processing includes sensors for the main CPU 61 (the insertion sensor 53 of the medal selector 48, the payout sensor 54 and the overflow sensor 57a of the hopper unit 43, the bet switch 15, the maximum bet switch 17, the left / middle / right stop switches 21L and 21M. , 21R, etc.).

  Thereafter, a use area outside interrupt process, which will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 16, is performed (step S437).

  Subsequently, it is determined whether there is a transmission command for transmission from the main CPU 61 to the sub CPU 71 (step S438). If it is determined that there is no transmission command (NO in step S438), the process proceeds to step S440. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is a transmission command (YES in step S438), transmission processing for the set transmission command (input abnormality, dispensing abnormality, door state) is performed (step S439), and the process proceeds to step S440. move on.

  In step S440, it is determined whether there is error data. The error data is a flag for notifying the main CPU 61 of an error (shifting to error processing). When the error data is set (turned on), the main CPU 61 shifts to error processing. Is.

  When it is determined that error data is set (ON state) (YES in step S440), error processing is performed by the game stop means 113 or the like (step S441), and the timer interrupt processing ends.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that error data is not set (not in the on state) (NO in step S440), a medal insertion determination is performed (step S442), and a medal payout determination is performed (step S443). Timer update processing is performed (step S444), port output processing is performed (step S445), and external signal output processing is performed (step S446).

  Subsequently, the display control unit 115 performs the thousandth, hundredth, tenth of the ratio display 69 set by performing each ratio display setting (FIG. 23) in step S536 of FIG. The display of the ratio indicator (role monitor) 69 is controlled using the set value of the first place (step S447). Then, the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, 13R (rotating drum) are controlled (step S448).

2.1 Out-of-use area interrupt processing The out-of-use area interrupt process (step S437) of FIG. 19 will be described with reference to FIG. Here, the external use area interruption process of FIG. 20 is a process executed by the main CPU 61.

  First, a monitoring process is performed to determine whether or not the selector sensor (specifically, the insertion sensor 53) of the medal selector 48 is abnormal (step S531). Subsequently, a monitoring process is performed to determine whether or not there is an abnormality in the payout sensor 54 (step S532). Subsequently, a monitoring process is performed to determine whether there is an abnormality in the open / closed state of the door (specifically, the front door 5) (step S533).

  Then, a ratio display related timer update process, which will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 21, is performed (step S534). Subsequently, each ratio calculation described in detail later with reference to FIG. 22 is performed (step S535). Subsequently, each ratio display setting which will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 23 is performed (step S536). Then, the procedure returns to the timer interrupt processing procedure of FIG.

2.1.1 Ratio Display Related Timer Update Process The ratio display related timer update process (step S534) of FIG. 20 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The display control means 115 performs an update process for subtracting 1 from the display switching timer (step S651). Subsequently, the display control unit 115 determines whether or not the update result is 0 or more (step S652). When it is determined that the display switching timer update result (the updated display switching timer value) is 0 or more (YES in step S652), the process proceeds to step S653. On the other hand, when it is determined that the update result is not 0 or more (NO in step S652), the display control unit 115 updates the ratio display number and is set in the display switching timer in the initial setting process when the power is turned on. The same value as the set value of the display switching timer (for example, a value corresponding to 5 seconds) is set (step S656), and the process returns to the processing procedure for the outside use area interrupt process of FIG. In this ratio display number update processing, for example, the ratio display number is updated while repeating from 0 to 4 in order, such as 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 0, 1,... Shown in FIG. Is done. It should be noted that the ratio display number 0 is the display item (1) (combination + AT combination) ratio (cumulative), the ratio display number 1 is the display item (2) the continuous combination ratio (6000 games), and the ratio display number 2 is the display item ( 3) An accessory ratio (6000 games), a ratio display number 3 corresponds to a display item (4) a continuous accessory ratio (cumulative), and a ratio display number 4 corresponds to a display item (5) an actor ratio (cumulative) (FIG. 11). reference). Then, the processing from step S651 to step S653 is executed each time the use area outside interrupt processing in the timer interrupt processing is performed, and the ratio display number is updated every 5 seconds according to the set value of the display switching timer, for example. . As a result, the display contents of the ratio indicator 69 are the display item (1) (combination + AT combination) ratio (cumulative), the display item (2) the continuous combination ratio (6000 games), and (3) the combination ratio (6000). Game), display item (4) continuous character ratio (cumulative), display item (5) character ratio (cumulative), and so on.

2.1.2 Calculation of Ratios Each ratio calculation (step S535) in FIG. 20 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The calculating means 114b determines whether or not the ratio calculation flag set by the counting means 114a is set to ON (step S671), and when the ratio calculation flag is set to OFF (NO in step S671). Returning to the outside use area interrupt process of FIG. On the other hand, when the ratio calculation flag is set to ON (YES in step S671), the ratio calculation timing is set for every 400 games. In this case, the calculation unit 114b displays the display item (5) the ratio of the actors (cumulative), the display item (4) the ratio of the consecutive actors (total), (3) the ratio of the actors (6000 games), and (2) the consecutive actors. In order to calculate the ratio (6000 games), (1) (object + AT combination) ratio (cumulative), data of each payout number necessary for calculating each ratio is acquired.

(5) To calculate the ratio of the total number of items (total), obtain data on the total number of payouts (total number; see Fig. 9) and the number of items paid out (total number: see Fig. 9). In calculating the ratio (cumulative: refer to FIG. 9), the data of the total payout number (total cumulative: refer to FIG. 9) and the continuous feature payout number (total cumulative: refer to FIG. 9) are acquired. In calculating (6000 games), data on the total number of payouts (cumulative PS; see FIG. 9) and the number of payout items (cumulative PS: see FIG. 9) are acquired. Is calculated, data on the total number of payouts (cumulative PS; see FIG. 9) and the number of consecutive feature payouts (cumulative PS: see FIG. 9) are acquired, In the calculation, the total number of payouts (updated for each game; see FIG. 9) and the bonus item + AT number of payouts (total Total: acquiring data of FIG. 9).

  Subsequently, in step S673, the calculation unit 114b calculates each ratio based on the acquired data of each payout number. At this time, in the calculation of the continuous feature ratio (6000 games), the ratio (percentage) (%) of the cumulative PS continuous feature payout number to the total PS payout number (setting value common) is calculated. In the calculation of the ratio (6000 games), the ratio (percentage) (%) of the cumulative PS payout number of the accumulated PS to the total payout number of the cumulative PS is calculated. Furthermore, in the calculation of the ratio (cumulative item + AT role) (cumulative), the ratio (percentage) (%) of the total cumulative amount of bonus item + AT role payout number to the total cumulative total payout number (every game update) is calculated, In calculating the continuous feature ratio (cumulative), calculate the ratio (percentage) (%) of the total cumulative number of consecutive physical feature payouts to the total cumulative payout number. The ratio (percentage) (%) of the total number of paid-out items is calculated with respect to the total total number of pay-outs. The calculation result of each ratio is stored in the ratio display work area.

  Subsequently, the calculation means 114b sets and updates the calculation result of each ratio stored in the ratio display work area in a predetermined area (see FIG. 9) of the game information storage means 653 (step S674). Specifically, the calculation result of the accessory ratio (6000 games) is set in a 1-byte storage area of the accessory ratio (cumulative PS) in FIG. Further, the calculation result of the accessory ratio (cumulative total) is set in a 1-byte storage area of the accessory ratio (total cumulative) in FIG. Furthermore, the calculation result of the continuous character ratio (6000 games) is set in a 1-byte storage area of the continuous character ratio (cumulative PS) in FIG. Further, the calculation result of the continuous character ratio (cumulative total) is set in a 1-byte storage area of the continuous character ratio (total cumulative) in FIG. Further, the calculation result of the (combination + AT combination) ratio (cumulative) is set in a 1-byte storage area of the (combination + AT combination) ratio (total accumulation) in FIG.

  Subsequently, the calculation unit 114b sets the ratio calculation flag to OFF, and returns to the use area outside interrupt process of FIG.

2.1.3 Each Ratio Display Setting Each ratio display setting (step S536) in FIG. 20 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The display control means 115 determines whether there is a RAM error (E4 error) (step S701). If it is determined that the error is an E4 error (YES in step S701), the display control unit 115 displays the lighting-enabled portion at each of the first, tenth, hundredth, and thousandth positions of the ratio indicator 69. $ FF (hexadecimal notation) corresponding to all lighting is set (step S702). It should be noted that the setting values for the first, tenth, hundredth, and thousandth positions of the ratio display 69 are the same as those of the ratio display 69 in the 7-segment display process in step S447 of FIG. It is used to turn on or off the lighting places A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and DP of the hundreds, hundreds, and thousands.

  On the other hand, if it is not determined that the error is an E4 error (NO in step S701), the display control unit 115 acquires ratio display data which will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 24 (step S703), and FIG. Return to the outside use area interrupt processing.

2.1.3.1 Ratio Display Data Acquisition The ratio display data acquisition (step S703) of FIG. 20 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The display control means 115 acquires display data corresponding to the ratio display number from the ratio display data table (step S801). The ratio display data table stores ratio display numbers, ratio types, and display data in association with each other. Corresponding to the ratio display number “0”, the type of ratio “(combination + AT combination) ratio (cumulative)”, display data “$ 27BE” (hexadecimal notation) (00100111 10111110 in binary notation, The lighting-enabled locations A, B, C, and F are turned on, and the hundreds of places that can be turned on are stored in the lighting locations B, C, D, E, F, and DP.

  Corresponding to the ratio display number “1”, the ratio type “continuous character ratio (6000 games)”, display data “$ 7DFC” (hexadecimal notation) (01111101 11111100 in binary notation, and thousands can be lit) The locations A, C, D, E, F, and G are turned on, and the hundreds of places that can be lit are stored in the locations C, D, E, F, G, and DP.

  Corresponding to the ratio display number “2”, the ratio type “actual object ratio (6000 games)”, display data “$ 27FC” (hexadecimal notation) (00100111 11111100 in binary notation, and thousands can be lit. A, B, C, and F are turned on, and the hundreds of places that can be turned on are stored (C, D, E, F, G, and DP are turned on).

  Corresponding to the ratio display number “3”, the ratio type “Continuous character ratio (cumulative)”, display data “$ 7DD8” (hexadecimal notation) (01111101 11011000 in binary notation, and thousands can be lit) A, C, D, E, F, and G are turned on, and hundreds of places that can be turned on are stored (D, E, G, and DP are turned on).

  Corresponding to the ratio display number “4”, the ratio type “actual object ratio (cumulative)”, display data “$ 27D8” (hexadecimal notation) (00100111 11011000 in binary notation, and the thousands place can be lit. , B, C, and F are lit, and the hundreds of places that can be lit D, E, G, and DP are stored.

  However, among the 4-digit values in hexadecimal notation of the display data, the upper 2 digits correspond to the thousands of the ratio display 69, and the lower 2 digits correspond to the hundreds of the ratio display 69. To do.

  The display control means 115 sets the display data acquired in step S801 to the hundreds and thousandss of the ratio display 69 (step S802). For example, when the ratio display number is 0, $ 27 (hexadecimal notation) is set in the hundreds place of the ratio indicator 69, and $ BE (hexadecimal notation) is set in the thousands place. In step S802, 0 corresponding to extinction is set as the set value of the lit up portion DP (dot portion) at the thousands position of the ratio indicator 69.

  Subsequently, the display control unit 115 acquires the value of the ratio RWM address corresponding to the ratio display number (step S803). Here, if the ratio display number is 0, the value of (combination + AT combination) ratio (cumulative) (the value of the storage area corresponding to the (cumulative object + AT combination) ratio in FIG. 9) is acquired, and the ratio When the display number is 1, the value of the continuous character ratio (6000 games) (the value of the storage area corresponding to the continuous character ratio of the cumulative PS in FIG. 9) is acquired. When the value of the ratio (6000 games) (the value of the storage area corresponding to the cumulative PS character ratio in FIG. 9) is acquired and the ratio display number is 3, the value of the continuous character ratio (cumulative) (in FIG. 9) When the value of the storage area corresponding to the total cumulative consecutive feature ratio) is acquired and the ratio display number is 4, the value of the bonus ratio (cumulative) (the storage area corresponding to the total cumulative feature ratio in FIG. 9) Value) is obtained.

  Subsequent to step S803, the display control unit 115 sets $ 6F6F (hexadecimal notation) in the display data (step S804). In this process, when the value of the ratio RWM is 100, the ratio display at the first place and the tenth place of the ratio indicator 69 is set to “99” (lightable places other than the lightable places E and DP are turned on). Process.

  The display control unit 115 determines whether or not the value of the ratio RWM address is 100 (step S805). If it is determined that the value of the ratio RWM is 100 (YES in step S805), the display control means 115 sets the display data to the first and tenth positions of the ratio indicator 69, here the ratio indicator $ 6F (hexadecimal notation) is set to the first and tenth positions of 69 (step S809). Then, the processing returns to the ratio display setting processing of FIG. In step S809, 0 corresponding to extinction is set as the set value of the lighting position DP (dot portion) at each of the first and tenth places of the ratio indicator 69.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the RWM value of the ratio indicator 69 is not 100 (NO in step S805), the display control unit 115 divides the value of the ratio RWM address by 10 (decimal notation), and divides the quotient and the remainder. Calculate (step S806). Note that the value in the decimal notation of the quotient is a tens place value in the decimal notation of the value of the ratio RWM address, and the value in the decimal notation of the remainder is one in the decimal notation of the value of the ratio RWM address. The value of the place.

  Then, the display control means 115 performs a display data acquisition process for acquiring the tenth place display data (step S807), and subsequently performs a display data acquisition process for obtaining the first place display data (step S808). . Then, the display control means 115 sets the first place display data obtained in step S808 and the tenth place display data obtained in step S807 to the first place and the tenth place of the ratio indicator 69 ( In step S809, the process returns to the ratio display setting process of FIG. In step S809, 0 corresponding to extinction is set as the set value of the lighting position DP (dot portion) at each of the first and tenth places of the ratio indicator 69.

  Therefore, according to the above-described embodiment, the advantageous section medal acquisition end condition related to the number of medals acquired by the player in the advantageous section is provided as one of the plurality of advantageous section end conditions. It is possible to suppress excessive acquisition of medals in the section.

  Further, by providing a plurality of advantageous section end conditions (advantageous section continuous game end condition, advantageous section medal acquisition end condition, AT period game end condition), it is possible to further suppress excessive acquisition of medals in the advantageous section. .

  Further, if any of a plurality of advantageous section end conditions (advantageous section continuous game end condition, advantageous section medal acquisition end condition, AT period game end condition) is satisfied, the advantageous section continuous game remaining counter 655, 2400 counter 656, AT period Since each of the remaining game counters 655 is initialized, it is possible to correctly determine the end of the advantageous section using each counter in the next advantageous section even if the advantageous section is terminated under any of the plurality of advantageous section termination conditions. .

  In addition, when the game is a re-game, the 2400 counter 656 is not updated in relation to the payout of medals in the game, and when the game immediately before the game is a re-game, The 2400 counter 656 is not updated in relation to the insertion of medals. The value of the 2400 counter 656 can be made accurate.

  For example, when one game is played with “2” medals in one gaming state and one game is played with “3” medals in another gaming state, the game state is changed from one gaming state to another gaming state. It is assumed that the final game in the one game state (hereinafter referred to as “N game” for convenience of explanation) is a re-game and won a re-game player when transitioned.

  Even if the game (N game) is a re-game, the 2400 counter 656 is updated in relation to the medal payout, and the medal is also obtained when the previous game (N-1 game) is a re-game. Assume that the 2400 counter 656 is updated in association with the input of. In this case, the first game (N + 1 game) in the other game state is a re-game, and in this case, “3” is inserted, and “3” is subtracted from the 2400 counter 656, It is assumed that “9” is added to the 2400 counter 656 on the assumption that “9” medals corresponding to the winning of “” are paid out. Since the first game (N + 1 game) in the other game state is a re-game by winning a re-game role in one game state in which one game is performed with “2” medals, the number of inserted medals is “2”. "2" needs to be subtracted from the 2400 counter 656, but "3" is subtracted from the 2400 counter 656 because one game is played with "3" medals in other gaming states. Therefore, the value of the 2400 counter 656 is not accurate (see FIG. 26A).

  Further, if the game (N game) is a re-game, the 2400 counter 656 is updated with the number of inserted medals in the game (N game) set to “0” and the number of paid out medals set to “0”. Then. When the game (N game) is a re-game, the update of the 2400 counter 656 related to the insertion is, for example, (1) The number of inserted games is set to “0” based on the fact that the winning combination is a replay. , And subtracting “0” from the 2400 counter 656, (2) the number of inserted games in the game is determined based on the result of winning determination, based on replay (“0” payout based on replay) ” This can be realized by rewriting to “0” and subtracting “0” from the 2400 counter 656. In this case, the first game (N + 1 game) in the other game state is a re-game, and in this case, “3” is inserted, and “3” is subtracted from the 2400 counter 656, It is assumed that “9” is added to the 2400 counter 656 on the assumption that “9” medals corresponding to the winning of “” are paid out. Since the first game (N + 1 game) in the other game state is a re-game by winning a re-game role in one game state in which one game is performed with “2” medals, the number of inserted medals is “2”. "2" needs to be subtracted from the 2400 counter 656, but "3" is subtracted from the 2400 counter 656 because one game is played with "3" medals in other gaming states. Thus, the value of the 2400 counter 656 is not accurate (see FIG. 26B). Furthermore, there is a possibility that the processing becomes complicated due to the above (1) and (2).

  On the other hand, as in this embodiment, when the game is a replay, the 2400 counter 656 is not updated in connection with the payout of medals in the game, and the game immediately before the game is a replay. In some cases, if the 2400 counter 656 is not updated in relation to the insertion of medals in the game, the 2400 counter 656 is not updated with an incorrect value as described above. Therefore, the value of the 2400 counter 656 can be made accurate (see FIG. 26C).

  In addition, as the data to be totaled by the totaling means 114a, there is data including the number of paid out medals awarded in AT games, such as a bonus item + AT number of paid out games, so the game history of data related to medals awarded in AT games Can be displayed on the ratio display 69. Therefore, based on the display of the ratio indicator 69, frauds related to AT games and gaming machine failures can be detected at an early stage. Further, the counting means 114a determines whether or not the medals awarded by the payout control means 110 are due to AT games based on whether or not the push order command created by the command creating means 108 is created. Data can be shared. Further, when the counting unit 114a totals the data of the bonus item + AT combination payout number, it is not necessary to confirm the winning combination command that can identify the type of the winning combination, thereby reducing the processing burden on the totaling process. be able to.

  In addition, the total payout number (total number), the payout number (total number), the continuous payout number (total number), and the ratios based on these are all updated every 400 games. On the other hand, since the bonus item + AT role payout number (total cumulative) and the total payout number (every game) are updated every game, the (object + AT role) ratio (cumulative) can also be updated every game. However, in this embodiment, it is calculated in the same 400 games as other ratio calculation cycles. In this way, it is possible to reduce the processing load of the calculation process associated with displaying the ratio regarding the AT combination.

  In addition, since the ratio of both the latest 6000 games and the total cumulative total are displayed for the ratio of the actors and the consecutive actors, the data necessary for the calculation is stored in a ring buffer of P1 to P15 (each having a storage capacity of 2 bytes). These are stored in the storage area for the latest 6000 games (3 bytes each) and the storage area for the total accumulation (4 bytes each) (see FIG. 9). On the other hand, the ratio including the AT combination ((combination + AT combination) ratio) is such that only the total cumulative is displayed, and the data required for the calculation is 4 bytes, which is the storage capacity of the total payout number (every game update), In addition, it is stored in 4 bytes of the storage capacity of the bonus item + AT combination payout number (total number). In this way, with regard to the ratio of the actors and the consecutive actors, both the latest 6000 games and the total cumulative total are displayed and managed in detail, and a ratio including the AT combination payout is added as a ratio display item. The increase in storage capacity accompanying the above can be suppressed.

  In addition to the advantageous section lamp lighting control data, an advantageous section counting flag for counting the number of advantageous section games is provided, and the advantageous section counting flag setting process is performed regardless of the setting timing of the advantageous section lamp lighting control data. After all the rotations of 13L, 13M, and 13R are stopped, and after all the setting timings of the advantageous section lamp lighting control data in the game have elapsed, it is possible to set the bet number for performing the next game. This is performed after the game information totaling process in which various data are totaled. Thereby, at the time of counting the number of advantageous section games in the game where the decision to shift from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section is made, the content of the advantageous section count flag will not count the game as a game in the advantageous section, It is possible to accurately count the number of advantageous section games without counting the games for which the transition from the non-advantageous section to the advantageous section is determined as a game in the advantageous section.

  Moreover, since the process for setting the advantageous section count flag is performed by setting the advantageous section lamp lighting control data set at the time of processing as the advantageous section count flag, the process for setting the advantageous section count flag is performed. Increase in data storage capacity can be suppressed.

  According to this configuration, since the start of the AT allowable transition determination effect and the lighting start of the advantageous section lamp 47 are performed almost simultaneously, the advantageous section lamp 47 is not lit even though the AT allowable transition determination effect is performed. It is possible to prevent the player from causing distrust in the AT allowable transition determination effect.

  Further, since the ratio indicator 69 is accommodated in the substrate case sealed so as not to be opened without leaving a trace, five types of game inspection information displayed on the ratio indicator 69 and the ratio indicator It is possible to prevent fraud with respect to a predetermined abnormality notification display by 69.

  In addition, since each ratio is displayed in the ratio segment (the last two digits) of the ratio indicator 69, the inspector can easily determine whether fraud is being performed based on the value displayed in the ratio segment. it can.

  Further, the counting by the counting means 114a is performed after the determination by the symbol determination means (winning determination means) 109 and before the payout processing by the payout control means 110. Even if there is a disconnection and then initialization is accompanied when power is restored, for example, even when a setting change occurs unexpectedly during the payout of medals, the counting process has already been performed. For this reason, even if a power interruption occurs during the medal payout process, and then initialization is accompanied when power is restored, for example, when a setting change occurs unexpectedly during the medal payout. Also, the number of medals paid out can be accurately counted.

  In addition, by summing up information that is totaled when the predetermined condition is satisfied (every 400 games in this embodiment) and information that is totaled even if the predetermined condition is not satisfied (every game in this embodiment) Processing waste can be eliminated.

Second Embodiment
A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 27 to 29, focusing on differences from the first embodiment.

  Since this embodiment is different from the configuration of the storage area of the game information storage means 653 and the game information totaling process, these processes will be described.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 25, the ring buffer (2 bytes each) for the first period P1 to the 15th period P15, and the storage area for accumulated PS (3 bytes) for storing the cumulative payout number of the latest 6000 games, respectively. ) And a total cumulative storage area (4 bytes) for storing the total cumulative payout number, a storage area (total of 37 bytes for each), Storage area for storing the most recent 6000 games and total cumulative character ratio (1 byte each), storage area for storing the last 6000 games and the total cumulative character ratio (1 byte each), total cumulative character + AT character The configuration of the storage area (4 bytes) for storing the number of payouts and the storage area (1 byte) for storing the (cumulative item + AT combination) ratio of the total cumulative number are the same as in the first embodiment. However, in the first embodiment, there is a storage area for the total number of payouts (updated every game). Instead, the payout number of the AT role (winning role group “push order bell”) of the last 400 games is stored. The place where the number of AT combination payouts (400 games accumulated: 2 bytes) is provided is different.

  In the first embodiment, the tabulating unit 114a updates the bonus item + AT bonus payout number (total cumulative number) every game. In this embodiment, the counting unit 114a updates every 400 games. Further, the counting means 114a updates each game for the AT combination payout number. In addition, regarding the update of the bonus item + AT bonus payout number (total cumulative) by the counting means 114a, the updated AT of the same game is updated to the updated value of the bonus payout number (total cumulative) updated in the same game. A value obtained by adding the value of the number of combinations (400 games accumulated) is used as an update value. Then, the counting unit 114a clears the value of the AT combination payout number (cumulative of 400 games) to 0 after the update of the accessory + AT combination payout number (total number).

Game Information Aggregation Process The game information aggregation process (step S212 in FIG. 12) of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The counting means 114a updates the total payout number (400) update process for adding the number of winnings in the current game to the total payout number in the period corresponding to the ring pointer in the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 in FIG. Is performed (step S1231).

  The counting means 114a determines whether or not it is in the first kind of accessory (for example, bonus game state (RBB)) (step S1232). If it is determined that it is not in the first type combination (NO in step S1232), the process proceeds to step S1234. On the other hand, when it is determined that it is in the first type of accessory (YES in step S1232), the counting unit 114a continues the period corresponding to the ring pointer from the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 in FIG. A continuous feature payout number (400) update process is performed to add the number of winnings in the game this time to the number of payout items (step S1233). Then, the process proceeds to step S1234.

  In step S1234, the counting unit 114a determines whether or not the first-type combination or second-type combination (for example, bonus game state (RBB)) is in progress, and the first-type combination or second-type combination is in progress. If it is determined that it is not (NO in step S1234), it is determined whether or not a normal accessory is being used (step S1235). When it is determined in step S1234 that it is in the first type of accessory or the second type of accessory (YES in step S1234), and in step S1235, it is determined that it is in the normal accessory (YES in step S1235). The totaling means 114a updates the bonus payout number (400) by adding the prize winning number in this game to the bonus payout number in the period corresponding to the ring pointer in the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 in FIG. Processing is performed (step S1236), and the process proceeds to step S1240.

  If the counting unit 114a determines in step S1235 that it is not an ordinary accessory (NO in step S1235), it determines whether or not the command creation unit 108 has created the push order commands “1” to “3” ( Step S1238). Here, if any of the push order commands “1” to “3” has been created (YES in step S1238), the advantage is in the advantageous section (AT preparation / AT period) and in the push order. Since the winning combination groups (the winning combination group “push order bell”, “RT2 transition replay 1” to “RT2 transition replay 3”) are selected, the counting means 114a issues the AT role payout in FIG. The bonus item + AT combination payout number (400) update process for adding the number of winnings in the current game to the number (400 games accumulated) is performed (step S1239), and the process proceeds to step S1240. In step S1239, for example, the game is updated based on the payout number of medals for the game in which the advantageous pushing order is notified when the winning group “pushing order bell” is won during the AT period. That is, for example, in a game in which an advantageous pushing order was notified at the time of winning of the winning group “push order bell” during the AT period, the game was obtained when the player did not follow the notification but followed the notification. Even if the payout number is smaller than the wax payout number, the renewal is performed with the small payout number. Therefore, if the payout number is “0” as a result of not following the notification, counting (addition) in the game is not performed. Further, in the case of the winning combination group “RT2 transition replay 1” to “RT2 transition replay 3”, the medal is not paid out, so that the process of updating the bonus item + AT bonus payout number (400) is not performed, or “0 "Addition of the character to be added" + AT combination payout number (400) update processing is performed. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1238 that the command creation means 108 has not created a push order command (NO in step S1238), the winning group having no difference in the advantage depending on the push order is won, or The winning combination group (the winning combination group “push order bell”, “RT2 transition replay 1” to “RT2 transition replay 3”) having a different degree of advantage depending on the pressing order is won, but since it is not in the advantageous section, the process proceeds to step S1240. move on.

  In step S1240, the counting unit 114a performs a total game number + 1 update process of adding +1 to the total number of games (cumulative). The total number of games (cumulative) is a cumulative game after installation or after RWM clear, and is stored in a predetermined storage area (not shown in FIG. 27) set in the game information storage means 653.

  Subsequently, the counting unit 114a determines whether or not the advantageous section count flag is “1 (ON)” (content indicating the count) (step S1241). Here, when the advantageous section count flag is “1 (ON)” (YES in step S1241), since it is an advantageous section, an advantageous section game number + 1 update process for adding +1 to the advantageous section game number (cumulative) is performed. (Step S1242), the process proceeds to Step S1243. On the other hand, if the advantageous section count flag is not “1 (ON)” (NO in step S1241), since it is not an advantageous section, the number of advantageous section games (cumulative) is not updated, and the process proceeds to step S1243.

  In step S1243, the counting unit 114a performs a 400 counter update process of adding 1 to the 400 counter 652. Then, the counting unit 114a determines whether or not the 400 counter 652 is 400 (step S1244). If it is determined that the 400 counter 652 is not 400 (NO in step S1244), the process returns to the main process in FIG. On the other hand, when it is determined that the 400 counter 652 is 400 (YES in step S1244), the counting unit 114a resets the 400 counter to 0, and proceeds to step S1245.

  Subsequently, the counting means 114a (i) accumulates the total payout number from the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 in FIG. 27 and stores the accumulated result as the total payout number for the latest 6000 games in the accumulated PS 6 The total payout number (6000) update process to be stored in the total payout number, (ii) the cumulative number of consecutive feature payouts from the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 in FIG. (Iii) Update processing of the continuous feature payout number (6000) stored in the continuous feature payout number of the accumulated PS as the continuous feature payout number, (iii) The payout number of the feature from the first term P1 to the fifteenth term P15 in FIG. The update process of (i) to (iii) is updated for each of the item payout number (6000) update processing for accumulating the accumulated result as the number of payout items for the most recent 6000 games in the accumulated PS payout number. Every game Cormorant (step S1245).

  Subsequent to step S1245, the counting unit 114a (iv) adds the total number of payouts in the period corresponding to the ring pointer from the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 in the total cumulative number of payouts in FIG. From the first period P1, the total payout number (cumulative) update process for updating the total cumulative payout number by adding the total payout number for the game), and (v) the total cumulative consecutive feature payout number in FIG. Consecutive feature payouts that update the total cumulative feature payout number by adding the consecutive feature payout number (total payout number for the last 400 games) corresponding to the ring pointer of the 15th term P15 Number (cumulative) update processing, (vi) The total number of bonuses to be paid out in the period corresponding to the ring pointer from the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 (the latest 400 games) Total payment (Vii) update process for updating the total accumulated feature payout number by adding (number of sheets), (vii) the total accumulated feature + AT bonus payout number in FIG. By adding the number of items paid out in the period corresponding to the ring pointer of the period P15 (total number of payouts for the last 400 games) and the total number of AT function payouts (total of 400 games), The update process of (iv) to (vii) in the process of updating the combination of the object + AT combination payout number and the number of the AT combination payout number (cumulative) is performed every 400 games (step S1246).

  Subsequent to step S1246, the counting unit 114a sets the ratio calculation flag stored in the flag storage unit 651 to ON (step S1247), and proceeds to step S1248. When the ratio calculation flag is set to ON, each ratio calculation described with reference to FIG. 22 is performed (every 400 games).

  In step S1248, the counting unit 114a updates the ring pointer. The ring pointer is pointed in the order of the first period P1, the second period P2, the third period P3,..., The fourteenth period P14, the fifteenth period P15, the first period P1, the second period P2,. In other words, it is updated every 400 games so as to point out the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 in order.

  The counting means 114a clears the total payout number (total payout number for the oldest 400 games) in the period corresponding to the updated ring pointer from the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 in FIG. 27, clear the consecutive feature payout number (the oldest 400 consecutive game payout number) corresponding to the ring pointer from the first period P1 to the fifteenth period P15 in FIG. Is cleared to 0 and the value of 0 is cleared by clearing the number of bonuses to be paid out in the period corresponding to the ring pointer from the first period P1 to the 15th period P15 in FIG. 27, the AT combination payout number (accumulation of 400 games) in FIG. 27 is cleared and the value is set to 0 (step S1249), and the process returns to the main process in FIG.

  According to this embodiment, the same effect as the first embodiment can be obtained. Further, instead of the total payout number (every game update: 4 bytes) in the first embodiment, the AT role payout number (accumulation of 400 games: 2 bytes) is provided, so the storage capacity of the game information storage means 653 Can be reduced.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and modifications, and various modifications other than those described above can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

  For example, the 2400 counter update process in FIG. 17 may be the following (1) to (4), for example.

  (1) If it is determined in the determination process in step S301 that the game is a re-game (YES in step S301), a process of adding “0” to the value of the 2400 counter 656 is performed, and the process proceeds to step S303. You may make it. If it is determined in the determination process in step S303 that the previous game is a replay (YES in step S303), a process of subtracting “0” from the value of the 2400 counter 656 is performed, and the process proceeds to step S305. Also good. That is, “0” update is performed in the case of replay.

  (2) The 2400 counter update process of FIG. 17 may be as follows. The process of step S302 may be performed without performing the determination process of step S301, and the process of step S304 may be performed without performing the process of step S303. In other words, regardless of whether or not the game is a replay, the payout number and the input number are updated. For example, when the specified number of sheets is one, it is possible to reduce the processing load while enabling accurate counting.

  (3) The 2400 counter update process in FIG. 17 may be as follows. A payout counter and an input counter are prepared instead of the 2400 counter. If it is determined in step S301 that the game is a re-game (YES in step S301), the process proceeds to step S303 without updating the payout counter, and if it is determined that the game is not a re-game. (NO in step S301) In step S302, the payout number in the game is added to the payout counter, and the process proceeds to step S303. If it is determined in step S303 that the previous game is a replay (YES in step S303), the process proceeds to step S305 without updating the insertion counter, and if it is determined that the previous game is not a regame player. (NO in step S303) In step S304, the inserted number in the game is added to the insertion counter, and the process proceeds to step S305. In step S305, the value of the insertion counter is subtracted from the value of the payout counter, and it is determined whether or not the subtraction result is 0 or less. It is set to “0” (initialization), and the process returns to the main process of FIG. In step S305, the value of the insertion counter is subtracted from the value of the payout counter to determine whether or not the subtraction result is less than 0. If it is less than 0, each of the payout counter and the input counter is set to “ “0” is set (initialized), and the process returns to the main process of FIG. In this case, in the determination process of step S353 in the advantageous section end determination process of FIG. 18, the value of the insertion counter is subtracted from the value of the payout counter, and it is determined whether or not the subtracted value exceeds “2400”. When the subtracted value exceeds “2400”, the process proceeds to step S356, and when it does not exceed “2400”, the process proceeds to step S354. In step S357 in the advantageous section end determination process of FIG. 18, instead of setting the 2400 counter 656, each of the payout counter and the insertion counter is set to “0” (initialized).

  (4) The contents described in (1) and (2) above may be applied to (3) above to be modified.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, the winning section lamp 47 is turned on in the game in which the winning group “Cherry” and “7 complete replays” are won and the winning section transition lottery performed thereby is won. For example, the following (1) to (3) may be used.

  (1) In the advantageous RT (RT2) in the advantageous section, when the winning combination group “push order bell” is won and the pushing order is notified, the advantageous section lamp 47 may be turned on. In this case, the advantageous section lamp lighting control data described in the first embodiment is not used to turn on and off the advantageous section lamp 47, and the advantageous section count flag is set to “1 (on)” and “0 (off)”. Use to do. Then, the advantageous section lamp lighting control data (1) is newly provided separately from the advantageous section lamp lighting control data described in the first embodiment, and the winning combination group “push order bell” is obtained by the advantageous RT (RT2) in the advantageous section. In a game where the winning order is notified and the advantageous section lamp lighting control data (1) is set to “1 (lighted)” and the advantageous section end condition is satisfied, the advantageous section lamp lighting control data (1) is set to “0”. Set to (Off). In this case, in the lamp processing (step S435) in the timer interruption process of FIG. 19, the lighting control of the advantageous section lamp 47 is performed using the advantageous section lamp lighting control data (1) instead of the advantageous section lamp lighting control data.

  (2) In the advantageous section, when the winning combination group “push order bell” is won and the pushing order is notified, the advantageous section lamp 47 may be turned on. In this case, the advantageous section lamp lighting control data described in the first embodiment is not used to turn on and off the advantageous section lamp 47, and the advantageous section count flag is set to “1 (on)” and “0 (off)”. Use to do. In addition, the advantageous section lamp lighting control data (1) is newly provided separately from the advantageous section lamp lighting control data described in the first embodiment, and the winning combination is notified to the winning combination group “push order bell” in the advantageous section. The advantageous section lamp lighting control data (1) is set to “1 (lighted)” and the advantageous section lamp lighting control data (1) is set to “0 (extinguished)” when the advantageous section end condition is satisfied. . In this case, in the lamp processing (step S435) in the timer interruption process of FIG. 19, the lighting control of the advantageous section lamp 47 is performed using the advantageous section lamp lighting control data (1) instead of the advantageous section lamp lighting control data.

  (3) The advantageous section lamp 47 may be turned on when the normal RT (RT1) shifts to the advantageous RT (RT2) in the advantageous section. In this case, the advantageous section lamp lighting control data described in the first embodiment is not used to turn on and off the advantageous section lamp 47, and the advantageous section count flag is set to “1 (on)” and “0 (off)”. Use to do. In addition to the advantageous section lamp lighting control data described in the first embodiment, the advantageous section lamp lighting control data (1) is newly provided, and one of the winning combination groups “RT2 transition replay 1” to “RT2 transition replay 3” is provided. If the winning section lamp lighting control data (1) is set to “1 (lit)” in the game won in the promotion replay (re-gamer “RP4”, “RP5”) and the winning section end condition is satisfied The advantageous section lamp lighting control data (1) is set to “0 (light off)”. In this case, in the lamp processing (step S435) in the timer interruption process of FIG. 19, the lighting control of the advantageous section lamp 47 is performed using the advantageous section lamp lighting control data (1) instead of the advantageous section lamp lighting control data.

  However, in the above (1) to (3), in each game in the advantageous section, regardless of whether the advantageous section lamp 47 is turned on or off, the game information totaling process (step S212), the AT period game remaining number counter updating process (Step S213), advantageous section continuous game remaining number counter update processing (Step S214), 2400 counter update processing (Step S216), advantageous section end determination processing (Step S220). In this case, the above processing is performed even in a game in which the advantageous section lamp is turned off during the advantageous section, so various information (for example, insertion of medals) in the game in which the advantageous section lamp in the advantageous section is turned off. The number of medals and the number of medals paid out can be counted.

  Further, each ratio may be displayed for each set value set by the setting control means 101. In this case, an area for storing each payout number and ratio for each set value may be provided in the game information storage means 653.

  In the first embodiment, the (combination + AT combination) ratio is updated every 400 games and reflected in the ratio display 69. However, the (combination + AT combination) ratio calculation and the ratio display 69 The displayed value is updated every game, and the ratio calculation is performed every game, but the value displayed on the ratio display 69 can be changed as appropriate, for example, every 400 games that are the same as other ratios. .

  Also. In the first embodiment, instead of the total payout number (updated every game), data of the total payout number (total cumulative number) updated every 400 games is used as data used for the calculation of the (combination item + AT role) ratio. May be. In this case, since the storage area of the total payout number (every game update) can be reduced, the storage capacity of the game information storage means 653 can be reduced.

  In addition, for example, in a gaming machine in which a role having no difference in advantage depending on the pressing order, such as a bell combination with no pressing order, is set, the pressing order may be reported on a liquid crystal display or the like. When this example is applied to the present embodiment, when a command for creating a push order is created by the command creation means 108, the number of medals paid out for the game is reflected in the bonus item + AT combination payout number (cumulative). . If the number of payouts at the time of winning a role that has no difference in advantage depending on the pushing order is reflected in the number of bonuses + AT character payout number (cumulative), it is accurate from the viewpoint of managing the number of payouts in an advantageous gaming state. May not be able to display the correct ratio. Therefore, even if a push order command is created when winning a winning combination that has no difference in advantage depending on the pushing order, the number of medals to be paid out in the game may not be reflected in the update of the bonus item + AT combination payout number.

  In addition to the display of the above (role + AT role) ratio, or instead of the display of the (role + AT role) ratio, the advantageous segment ratio (total number of games in the advantageous segment (total number of games in the advantageous segment) ) As a percentage of the total number of games).

  For example, in each of the above-described embodiments, the bonus R gaming state (RBB) and the AT period are provided as advantageous gaming states. However, the advantageous gaming state may be only the AT period. In this case, the totaling of the bonus item + AT role payout number by the counting means 114a is made to the small roles “PZ1” to “PZ3” (each 9 dividends) when the winning group “push order bell” is won during the AT period. It is only necessary to count the number of paid-out games for which an advantageous pushing order for winning a prize is notified.

  Further, in each of the embodiments described above, the ratio is calculated by adding up the number of payouts by the combination and the number of payouts by the AT combination (pushing order bell). May be calculated.

  For example, when the capacity of the storage area of the RWM 65 storing the total accumulated data of the total number of payouts is exceeded, updating of other payout numbers (workpiece payout number, continuous feature payout number, bonus + AT role payout number) May not be performed. If this is done, the number of payouts will exceed the storage capacity and cannot be further updated, and other payout numbers will be updated, resulting in a difference between the displayed ratio and the actual ratio. Can be prevented.

  Further, when each calculated ratio exceeds a preset reference value, for example, each segment of the ratio indicator 69 may be blinked so that an abnormal state can be easily recognized.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, the slot machine 1 and the pachinko gaming machine have been described as examples of the gaming machine of the present invention. However, the present invention is applied to a gaming machine called a parrot that is a combination of a slot machine and a pachinko machine. When the present invention is applied to such a gaming machine, a pachinko ball may be adopted as a gaming value. Further, the gaming machine of the present invention may be applied to a video game by executing a computer program. In this case, a physical medium such as a medal or a pachinko ball or electronic data is used as a gaming value. It is good to manage the appearance.

  Further, instead of the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R in the above-described embodiment, an image display device such as a liquid crystal display or a CRT is used, and a plurality of symbols are sequentially displayed on the image display device. May be. The number of rotating reels may be two or more, and may be set to an optimal number as appropriate according to the game mode.

  Further, the data stored in the game information storage means 653 of FIG. 4 can be read out from the main control board 63 by performing a specific process. Further, the game information stored in the game information storage means 653 of FIG. 4 can be confirmed from the outside by a display device such as the credit display 45 or the liquid crystal display 27. Further, the RWM 65 of FIGS. 3 and 4 has a structure in which data is retained without being erased even when the power of the housing 3 is turned off. Further, the data stored in the game information storage means 653 of FIG. 4 has a structure in which the data is not erased by an external operation. In addition, when it is determined that there is a high possibility that an illegal act is performed based on the data stored in the game information storage means 653 of FIG. 4, the game is stopped or the game is restricted. Is also possible.

  Then, a non-advantageous section that does not allow notification of operation modes for a plurality of stop operation means is allowed so that the gaming value that can be acquired when a predetermined winning combination group is won is maximized, and the notification is allowed. The present invention can be widely applied to gaming machines that control state transition between advantageous sections.
