Next, the main control board 63 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the main control board 63 has various functions realized by executing a program stored in the ROM 67 and various functions realized by controlling hardware. ..

(1) Game control means 100
The game control means 100 of FIG. 4 controls the game of the slot machine 1 in any one of a plurality of preset game states. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the game control means 100 is in the normal game state (initial RT (RT0), normal RT (RT1), advantageous RT (RT2), bonus internal winning (RT3)) A bonus game (special game) is executed in a bonus game state based on a bonus combination that is more advantageous to the player than in the general game state (BB1: special game state or bonus game in progress). ) Is executed.

  Further, as a game advantageous to the player different from the bonus game which is the game in the bonus game state (BB1), the result of the role lottery of the role lottery means 103 described later depends on the operation procedure of each stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R. Advantageous each corresponding to a specific winning combination given to a player (promotion replay, falling replay, push order bell, etc .: see FIG. 9) There is an AT game (special game) that informs the operation procedure of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R in a specifiable manner. The game control means 100 performs the AT game when the winning combination lottery result of the winning combination lottery means 103 is the specific winning combination result in the AT allowable state shown in FIG. 5 and the game during the AT period. Here, the function of executing the AT game by the game control means 100 corresponds to the "special game control means" of the present invention.

  Then, the game control means 100, as shown in FIG. 4, the operation mode determination means 100a, the game state setting means 100b, the AT permissible state setting means 100c, the initial right granting means 100d, the period addition means 100e, and the AT playable state. The determining means 100f is provided.

(1-1) Operation mode determination means 100a
The operation mode determination means 100a determines the operation mode of the player with respect to the slot machine 1. Specifically, the mode of operation by the player for various switches provided in the slot machine 1, such as the bet switches 15 and 17, the start switch 19, and the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R, and the player to the medal slot 25. Various operation modes for the slot machine 1 by the player, such as a mode of inserting a medal by the player, are determined.

(1-2) Game state setting means 100b
The game state setting means 100b, based on the result of the role lottery process by the role lottery means 103, the determination result of the symbol combination on the activated line (middle line) by the symbol determination means 110, and the like, a plurality of preset game states The gaming state of the slot machine 1 is set to any one of them.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, in this embodiment, as a game state, initial RT (RT0), normal RT (RT1), advantageous RT (RT2), bonus internal winning (RT3), bonus game state And (BB1). Here, the normal game is executed in the normal game state composed of the initial RT (RT0), the normal RT (RT1), the advantageous RT (RT2), and the bonus internal winning (RT3), and the bonus is in the bonus game state (BB1). The game is executed. Further, the initial RT (RT0) is a game state that shifts after a setting change described later or after the bonus game state (BB1) ends.

  As shown in FIG. 5, in the initial RT (RT0), the push order bells (left center right correct answer bells 1 to 4, left and right middle correct answer bells 1 to 4, middle left and right correct answer bells 1 to 4, middle right left correct answer bells 1 to 4). , Right / left middle correct answer bells 1 to 4, right middle / left correct answer bells 1 to 4) (see FIG. 9), the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to normal RT (RT1), and the game state is normal. Transition to RT (RT1). Further, in the normal RT (RT1), if one of the promotion replays 1 to 6 (see FIG. 9) wins the U-rep, the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to the advantageous RT (RT2), and the game state becomes Shift to advantageous RT (RT2).

  Note that, as shown in FIG. 21, a part of the specific lottery values among the lottery values in which all the winning hands are unwinned (miss) in the hand lottery by the hand lottery means 103 (FIG. 4) in the normal RT (RT1) Is set so that a replay (a specific general combination) that is a re-game combination is won in the combination lottery means 103 in the combination RT (RT2), and the combination RT (RT2) is the normal RT (RT1). ) Is a gaming state in which the winning probability of the replay role (replay) is set higher. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, if a push-down bell is missed at an advantageous RT or if one of the fall replays 1 to 3 (see FIG. 9) wins a D lip, the game state setting means 100b causes the game to be played. The state is set to normal RT (RT1), and the game state shifts to normal RT (RT1).

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, in any of the initial RT (RT0), normal RT (RT1), and advantageous RT (RT2) game states, a bonus combination (red 7 big, BAR big: see FIG. 9) is won. When, when the symbol combination when all the reels 13L, 13M, 13R are stopped is not the symbol combination for the bonus winning (non-winning), the gaming state setting means 100b sets the gaming state to the bonus internal winning (RT3). The game state is set and the game state shifts to bonus internal winning (RT3). Further, when the bonus combination is won during the bonus internal winning (RT3), the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to the bonus game state (BB1), and the game state shifts to the bonus game state (BB1). Further, in the bonus game state (BB1), when a predetermined bonus game end condition is satisfied, the game state setting means 100b sets the game state to the initial RT (RT0), and the game state shifts to the initial RT (RT0). In this embodiment, as a bonus game ending condition, it is set that the number of payouts becomes a prescribed value (for example, 300 coins are set for a red 7 big prize and 100 coins are set for a BAR big prize). .

  In this way, each gaming state is configured to shift to another gaming state when the transition condition set for each gaming state is satisfied. It should be noted that the above-mentioned "missing of push order bell", "promotional replay prize", "falling replay prize" and the like regarding the transition condition will be described later.

(1-3) AT allowable state setting means 100c
As shown in FIG. 5, the AT permissible state setting means 100c is either an AT non-permissible state (special game non-permissible state) in which AT game is not permitted, or an AT permissible state (special game permissible state) in which AT game is permitted. The state of the slot machine 1 is set to one of them.

a) Transition from AT non-permissible state to AT permissible state by AT permissible election As shown in FIGS. 10 and 21, AT non-permissible state (initial RT (RT0), normal RT (RT1), advantageous RT (RT2)) The AT allowable hand is associated with a part of the lottery value in the game. Here, as shown in FIG. 5, the lottery value determination determination means 103b is determined to be in the AT allowable state by the lottery value generated by the lottery value generation means 103a of the role lottery means 103 based on the start of the game by operating the start switch 19. Then, the AT allowable state setting means 100c sets the slot machine 1 to the AT allowable state.

  At this time, the AT allowable state setting means 100c illuminates the notification lamp 60c (see FIG. 36) of the notification display 60 to notify that the AT allowable state can be specified. By externally informing that the slot machine 1 is in the AT permissible state, when the AT game is executed when the slot machine 1 is not in the AT permissible state, the slot machine 1 is in an abnormal state and there is a possibility of failure or fraud. You can judge things immediately.

  By the way, as shown in FIG. 5, in order to shift from the normal RT (RT1) to the advantageous RT (RT2), it is necessary to win the U-rep in any of the promotion replays 1 to 6 in the normal RT (RT1). However, as shown in FIG. 30 (a), an advantageous pressing order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R for winning the U-rep in each of the promotion replays 1 to 6 is set. Therefore, normally, it is difficult to win an advantageous U-lip in promotion replays 1 to 6 unless this advantageous pushing order is notified in the AT game.

  In addition, when winning the D Lip in any of the fall replays 1 to 3 in the advantageous RT (RT2), the game shifts to the normal RT (RT1), but as shown in FIG. An advantageous pressing order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R is set for winning the N lip without winning the D lip. Therefore, it is usually difficult to win an advantageous N rep in the fall replays 1 to 3 unless this advantageous pushing order is notified in the AT game.

  Therefore, unless the AT game informing the advantageous operation procedure of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R is not performed, it is difficult to stay at the advantageous RT (RT2), and thus the game state is usually the initial RT (RT0) or the normal state. When it is RT (RT1), the AT permissible winning is selected, and the AT permissible state setting means 100c sets the slot machine 1 to the AT permissible state. Then, the initial right granting means 100d or the period adding means 100e, which will be described later, sets a predetermined AT period game number (the number of games) as an AT period game number (game number) as a right to execute an AT game in the AT allowed state (AT execution right) counter 654 ( 4). By this setting, when the winning combination lottery result of the winning combination lottery means 103 is a specific winning combination winning result, an AT game in which an AT game for informing an advantageous operation procedure of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R can be played is possible. When the number of games of the AT period game number counted by the AT period game number counter 654 remains, the state of the AT period flag stored in the flag storage area 651 (FIG. 4) is AT playable. It is set to ON by the state determination means 100f (AT game available state).

  Also, when the AT game becomes possible at the initial RT (RT0) or the normal RT (RT1), the AT becomes unprepared and the AT is being prepared, and one of the promotion replays 1 to 6 is won at the normal RT (RT1) during the AT preparation. Then, the AT game which notifies the advantageous pushing order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R for winning the U-lip that shifts to the advantageous RT (RT2) is executed (see FIGS. 17 and 30 (a)). Then, if the player wins the U-rep in any of the promotion replays 1 to 6, it shifts to an advantageous RT (RT2) in the AT playable state to which the AT execution right is granted, so-called ART.

  Further, the AT permissible state setting means 100c sets the count value in the AT period game number counter 654 by the initial right granting means 100d, and thereafter, the AT period is executed every time the game is executed regardless of whether it is a general game or an AT game. By subtracting 1 from the count value of the game number counter 654, the number of remaining games of the AT period game number (AT execution right) is counted. Further, the AT permissible state setting means 100c, in the game after the slot machine 1 is set to the AT permissible state (the notification lamp 60c is turned on), the permissible period game number counter is executed every time the game is executed regardless of the type of the game. By adding 1 to the count value of 653, the duration of the AT allowable state is counted. The AT allowable state setting means 100c sets the number of games (for example, 1500 games) preset as a limiter condition in the allowable period game number counter 653 when setting the slot machine 1 to the AT allowable state, Each time the game is executed in the permissible state, the duration of the AT permissible state may be counted by subtracting 1 from the count value of the permissible period game counter 653.

  Further, the AT permissible state setting means 100c determines whether the count value of the AT period game number counter 654 becomes 0, or whether the winning lottery is won after the count value of the AT period game number counter 654 becomes 0. If either end condition is satisfied, or the number of continuous games in the AT allowable state is 1500 games (corresponding to the “predetermined period” of the present invention) and the limiter condition is satisfied, the slot machine 1 is not AT Set to the allowed state (end of AT allowed state). Also, the AT allowable state setting means 100c turns off the notification lamp 60c when setting the slot machine 1 to the AT non-allowable state. The AT allowable state setting means 100c resets the count values of the allowable period game number counter 653 and the AT period game number counter 654 to "0" when the AT allowable state ends by the limiter.

  Further, the conditions for ending the AT permissible state are the identification number (see FIG. 10) that has been AT permissible win, the conditions after AT permissive (the result of the lottery after AT permissive, the number of games that have passed since the transition to the AT permissive state , The number of medals acquired after the shift to the AT allowable state) and the like. By changing the termination condition of the AT permissible state in various ways, it is possible to further improve the game playability.

(1-4) Initial right granting means 100d
In the game in which the lottery value determination determination means 103b of the role lottery means 103, which will be described later, determines that the slot machine 1 is in the AT permissible state (AT permissible win), the initial right granting means 100d is the number of games for AT permissible win. The initial duration of the AT period is determined based on the minute table 673 (see FIGS. 4, 25 and 26). Note that, as shown in FIG. 24, the AT allowable winning-time game number distribution table 673 is individually set in correspondence with each identification number for which the determination result of the lottery value determination determining means 103b described later is an AT allowable winning. There is.

  For example, when the identification number 3 (“AT allowed + AT right + normal replay”) is won, the initial right granting means 100d uses the AT allowed winning game number distribution table 673 for the identification number 3 shown in FIG. Determines the initial duration of the AT period (initial number of games). In this table 673, three games are given as the initial number of games in the AT period with a probability of 1/2, and the initial number of games in the AT period is also given with three games +50 games = 53 games with a probability of 1/2. Is configured. When determining the initial number of games in the AT period, the initial right granting means 100d sets the count value of the number of games in the AT period game number counter 654.

  Further, when the identification number 4 (“AT acceptable + AT right + red 7 big + normal replay”) is won, the initial right granting means 100d causes the AT acceptable winning number distribution game for the identification number 4 shown in FIG. The table 673 is used to determine the initial number of games in the AT period. In this table 673, the initial number of games of 3 games is given after the bonus ends with a probability of 1/2, and the initial number of games of 3 games + 50 games = 53 games is also given after the bonus ends with a probability of 1/2. Is configured. When determining the initial number of games in the AT period, the initial right granting means 100d sets the count value of the number of games in the AT period game number counter 654. In addition, when the number of games is not added by the adding means 100e during the period until the initial number of games is consumed, the AT period when the initial number of games is consumed (corresponding to the "special game continuation period" of the present invention) And the AT allowable state ends (corresponding to the “predetermined end condition” of the present invention).

  When the identification number 25 (“AT allowed + AT right + watermelon A”) is won, the initial right granting means 100d uses the AT allowed winning game distribution table 673 for the identification number 25 as described above. Determines the initial number of games in the AT period. For example, in this table 673, 3 games are given as the initial number of games in the AT period with a probability of 1/2, and 3 + 50 games are given as the initial number of games in the AT period with a probability of 1/2 as well. Is configured. In addition, in this embodiment, when the identification number including the watermelon (watermelon A or watermelon B) and the AT allowable part is won, even if the AT period (the count value of the AT period game number counter 654 is 0) ends, AT The permissible state continues, and the AT permissible state ends when the falling lottery after the end of the AT period is won. This falling lottery is performed for each game that wins a role other than a so-called rare role such as watermelon and cherry after the end of the AT period, and falls (wins) with a probability of 1/8. Further, when the identification number including the AT right is won before the fall lottery is won, the AT period is restored.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the identification number including the AT permissible winning combination is won, the initial right granting means 100d grants at least three initial games. However, for example, with a probability of 1/3. There may be a case where the initial number of games may not be given at all, such as 3 games, 53 games with a probability of 1/3, and loss with a probability of 1/3.

The initial right granting means 100d may determine the initial number of games in the AT period by performing the above-mentioned sorting lottery using the same lottery value as the lottery value used for the role lottery of the role lottery means 103. However, a random number value (lottery value) for distribution may be newly generated, and the distribution may be performed using this. Further, the AT permissible win number game allocation table 673 is used in the AT non-permissible state, and one AT permissible win number game is allocated to each identification number (lottery value of the part lottery). A minute table 673 is provided.

(1-5) Additional means 100e during the period
During the period, the adding means 100e wins the identification number (see FIG. 27) including the AT right hand, provided that the AT allowable state setting means 100c sets the slot machine 1 to the AT allowable state (during the AT period). At this time, the number of games (the number of additional games) to be added to the initial number of games is determined. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 27, the lottery value in the game in the AT allowable state (initial RT (RT0), normal RT (RT1), advantageous RT (RT2), bonus game state (BB1)) The AT right hand is associated with a part of. Here, the lottery value determination determination means 103b determines to grant the right to perform the AT game by the lottery value generated by the lottery value generation means 103a of the role lottery means 103 based on the start of the game by operating the start switch 19. (AT right win), during the period, the add-on means 100e uses the AT add-on lottery table 674 to carry out a sort lottery for the number of add-on games (game-add-on lottery).

  For example, when the identification number 3 (“AT allowed + AT right + normal replay”) is won during the AT period, the addition means 100e is added during the period using the AT addition lottery table 674 for the identification number 3 shown in FIG. Determine the number of games. This table 674 is configured so that the number of four types of additional games, namely, 10 games, 20 games, 30 games, and 50 games, is given at a probability of 1/4, respectively.

  Further, during the AT period, when the identification number 14 (“AT right + BAR complete replay”) that is the target of the role lottery is won only during the bonus game (BB1), the addition means 100e during the period is identified as shown in FIG. The number of additional games is determined using the AT additional lottery table 674 for number 14. The table 674 is configured so that 30 games are added with a probability of 1/2, 50 games are added with a probability of 1/4, and 100 games are added with a probability of 1/4. When the number of games to be added is determined by the number of games to be added lottery during the period, the addition means 100e adds a value corresponding to the number of additional games to the count value of the AT period game number counter 654. An AT additional lottery table 674 is also provided for other identification numbers including the AT right hand (see FIG. 27).

  In the AT addition lottery table 674 of FIG. 27, it is configured that there is always an addition of the number of games, but there is a case where it is distributed to a loss where the number of games is not added, and an identification number including the AT right hand is won. Nevertheless, the number of additional games may not be acquired with a predetermined probability.

  Further, the AT addition lottery table 674 is the same as each set value (ball output rate), and each table 674 is used to show the result of the lottery after the AT is allowed, the history of the role lottery, and the progress after the AT is allowed. It may be appropriately changed depending on the number of games, the number of medals acquired after the AT is allowed, and the like.

  In this way, security is improved by uniquely determining whether or not the AT right is won based on the lottery value used in the role lottery, while the addition means 100e is allowed to freely add during the period. Since it can be designed, the degree of freedom in designing the AT game can be increased.

  Further, during the period, the addition means 100e may perform the above-mentioned number-of-games addition lottery or the addition continuation rate lottery by using the same lottery value as the lottery value used for the role lottery of the role lottery means 103, or a random number value. It is also possible to newly generate (lottery value) and use each of the lottery values to perform the above-mentioned lottery.

  The function of the initial right granting means 100d to determine the initial number of games in the AT period and the function of the additional means 100e to determine the number of additional games during the term correspond to the "right continuation period determining means" of the present invention.

(1-6) AT game available state determining means 100f
When the AT playable state determination means 100f wins the identification number (see FIG. 24) including the AT allowed hand in the AT non-allowed state shown in FIG. 5, when the hand lottery result of the hand lottery means 103 described later is the specific hand. It is determined that the AT game can be performed in the AT game state, and the flag during the AT period set in the flag storage area 651 is set to ON.

(1-7) Outline of Game Next, an outline of the game executed in the slot machine 1 will be described.

  The slot machine 1 is configured so that one game (game) is played by inserting three medals, and the insertion sensor 53, the bet switch 15 or the maximum bet switch 17 allows the three medals to be inserted into the slot machine 1. When the insertion is detected, the horizontal pay line (center line) in the center (middle stage) of the display window 11 becomes effective. When the start switch 19 is operated here, one of preset preset lottery results is selected by the lottery process using the random number by the lottery process using a random number. Moreover, when all the rotations of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, 13R are started, the symbols of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R displayed in the display window 11 are determined by the rotation angles of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R. Will be started based on.

  After that, after the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, 13R accelerate, the operation of all the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R becomes effective, and the operation of all the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R becomes effective. The left reel 13L is stopped when the operation of the left stop switch 21L is detected, the middle reel 13M is stopped when the operation of the middle stop switch 21M is detected, and the right reel is detected when the operation of the right stop switch 21R is detected. 13R is stopped. In this way, by operating the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, the rotation of the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, 13R corresponding to the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R is stopped.

  When all of the three left / middle / right stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R are operated, the rotation of the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, 13R is stopped. At this time, when stopping at a predetermined position on the pay line in the middle of the display window 11 in which the predetermined symbol is valid, that is, the symbols of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R are displayed in the symbol combination related to winning the winning combination. When it is displayed on the window 11, a prize is won, and the number of medals according to the winning mode is credited or paid out from the medal payout opening 39. It should be noted that a predetermined profit (privilege) may be given to the player instead of or in addition to the payout of medals. As the predetermined profit, for example, the same number of bets as that of the prize winning game can be achieved without shifting to a bonus game state (BB1) due to a prize winning of a bonus prize described later or inserting a new medal due to a prize winning of a replay prize described later. The number of bets automatically set for playing the next game and the transition of the game state are included.

  As shown in FIG. 6 to FIG. 8, as the types of winning combinations, a bonus winning combination and a general winning combination (re-playing combination, small winning combination) are preset. The bonus role is a transition role to the bonus game state. A re-play combination (hereinafter, also referred to as a replay) is a combination in which, when a prize is won, the next game can be performed with the same bet number as the prize game without inserting a new medal. The small winning combination is a winning combination in which a predetermined payout (the number of payouts) is obtained.

-Bonus combination The bonus combination is set to two types of combinations "RBB1" and "RBB2" as the types of symbol combinations for winning. Here, when each reel 13L, 13M, 13R is stopped in the symbol combination (red 7-red 7-red 7) according to the combination "RBB1", a winning is achieved, and the game state shifts to the bonus game state (BB1). When each reel 13L, 13M, 13R is stopped in the symbol combination (BAR-BAR-BAR) according to the combination "RBB2", it becomes a winning prize, and the game state shifts to the bonus game state (BB1). At this time, the symbol combination group "Big 1" is formed by the combination "RBB1", and the symbol combination group "Big 2" is formed by the combination "RBB2". In this embodiment, there is no payout even if the symbol combinations of the combinations “RBB1” and “RBB2” are aligned on the pay line, but a predetermined number of payouts may be awarded.

-Re-gaming combination The re-gaming combination is a combination of the symbol combinations according to the winning mode, that is, the combinations "NRP1" to "NRP12", "URP1" to "URP24", "DRP1" to "DRP16", "CRP", "SRP1". "To SRP4" are set. All of the combinations "NRP1" to "NRP12" are re-gaming roles unrelated to the transition of the game state, and the symbol combination group "N Lip" is formed by the respective combinations "NRP1" to "NRP12".

  The combinations "URP1" to "URP24" are all re-gaming roles related to the transition of the gaming state, and when these symbol combinations stop on the winning line, the gaming state shifts to the advantageous RT (RT2). In addition, the symbol combination group “U lip” is formed by these combinations “URP1” to “URP24”.

  Combinations "DRP1" to "DRP16" are all re-gaming roles related to the transition of the game state, and when these symbol combinations stop on the pay line, the game state shifts to the normal RT (RT1). In addition, the symbol combination group “D Lip” is formed by these combinations “DRP1” to “DRP16”.

  Other re-gaming combination, there is a combination "CRP", "SRP1" ~ "SRP4", the combination "CRP" to form a symbol combination group "CH Lip", the combination "SRP1" symbol combination group "SP Lip" 1 "is formed, the combination" SRP2 "forms the symbol combination group" SP Lip 2 ", the combination" SRP3 "forms the symbol combination group" SP Lip 3 ", and the combination" SRP4 "forms the symbol combination group" SP Lip 4 "is formed.

When these combinations are lined up on the pay line, a prize is won and a payout of "9" is obtained.

ii) When the first stop is the correct answer The symbol combination group “Left Correct Answer AT” is the winning combination “Left Middle Right Correct Bell 1” to “Left Middle Right Correct Bell 4”, “Left Right Middle Correct Bell 1” to “Left Right Middle” When one of the correct answer bells 4 ”(see FIG. 9) is won, the first stop is correct on the left reel 13L in the pressing order, and the second stop reel is stopped on the winning line when the pressing order is incorrect. It is provided as a group of symbol combinations. When the combinations forming the group are lined up on the pay line, a prize is awarded and a payout of "1" is obtained.

  The symbol combination group “middle correct answer AT” is any one of the winning roles “middle left right answer bell 1” to “middle left right answer bell 4”, “middle right left correct answer bell 1” to “middle right left correct answer bell 4” (see FIG. 9). When the crab is won, the first stop is correct on the middle reel 13M in the pressing order, and when the pressing order of the second stop reel is incorrect, it is provided as a group of symbol combinations that stop on the pay line. When the combinations forming the group are lined up on the pay line, a prize is awarded and a payout of "1" is obtained.

  The symbol combination group “right correct answer AT” is a winning combination “right left middle correct answer bell 1” to “right left middle correct answer bell 4”, “right middle left correct answer bell 1” to “right middle left correct answer bell 4” (see FIG. 9). When one of the winning combinations is selected, the first stop is correct on the right reel 13R in the pressing order, and when the pressing order of the second stop reel is incorrect, it is provided as a group of symbol combinations that stop on the winning line. .. When the combinations forming the group are lined up on the pay line, a prize is awarded and a payout of "1" is obtained.

iii) When the first stop is an incorrect answer on the left, the symbol combination groups “A left incorrect AT”, “B left incorrect AT”, “C left incorrect AT” and “D left incorrect AT” are all If the first stop is the left reel 13L and the pressing order is incorrect, it is provided as a group of symbol combinations that can be stopped on the pay line. When the combinations forming the group are lined up on the pay line, a prize is awarded and a payout of "1" is obtained. It should be noted that each of the combinations forming these symbol combination groups is configured not to win a prize unless the operation timings of the second and third stops match. In addition, there are cases where the winning combination may not be won, the winning combination including these is only one of these symbol combination groups, and depending on the operation timing, 5 frames (operation timing frame + maximum sliding 4 frames described later). This is because there are no symbols that make up the symbol combination within.

iv) In the case where the first stop is an incorrect answer In the symbol combination group “A1 incorrect answer AT”, “B1 incorrect answer AT”, “C1 incorrect answer AT”, “D1 incorrect answer AT”, “A2 incorrect” Incorrect answer AT ”,“ incorrect answer in B2 ”,“ incorrect answer in C2 ”, and“ incorrect answer in D2 ”are all awarded when the first reel is the middle reel 13M and the pushing order is incorrect. It is provided as a group of symbol combinations that can be stopped on the line. When the combinations forming the group are lined up on the pay line, a prize is awarded and a payout of "1" is obtained. It should be noted that each of the combinations forming these symbol combination groups is configured not to win a prize unless the operation timings of the second and third stops match. In addition, there are cases where the winning combination may not be won, the winning combination including these is only one of these symbol combination groups, and depending on the operation timing, 5 frames (operation timing frame + maximum sliding 4 frames described later). This is because there are no symbols that make up the symbol combination within.

v) When the first stop is on the right and is an incorrect answer The symbol combination groups "A right incorrect AT", "B right incorrect AT", "C right incorrect AT", and "D right incorrect AT" are all If the first stop is the right reel 13M and the pushing order is incorrect, it is provided as a group of symbol combinations that can be stopped on the pay line. When the combinations forming the group are lined up on the pay line, a prize is awarded and a payout of "1" is obtained. It should be noted that each of the combinations forming these symbol combination groups is configured not to win a prize unless the operation timings of the second and third stops match. In addition, there are cases where the winning combination may not be won, the winning combination including these is only one of these symbol combination groups, and depending on the operation timing, 5 frames (operation timing frame + maximum sliding 4 frames described later). This is because there are no symbols that make up the symbol combination within.

  As described above, when one of the winning combinations “push order bell” is won, if the correct answer is given in the pressing order set for the winning combination, 9 payouts can be obtained, whereas in the case of incorrect answer In some cases, only one payout can be obtained or no prize is won. Therefore, the “push order bell” is a winning combination (specific combination) in which the degree of advantage of the player is different depending on the pressing order.

-Cherry combination "BCH" (symbol combination group "B cherry") is a symbol combination in which the symbol "CH (cherry)" is displayed in the lower stage of the left reel 13L in the display window 11, and is 5 frames (frames at operation timing). Since there are reels 13L, 13M, 13R with no symbols forming a symbol combination within + (maximum 4 slides), it is provided as a winning combination unless the operation timings of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R match. .. It should be noted that when the combination is aligned on the pay line, a win is achieved and a payout of "1" is paid out.

・ Watermelon combinations "CDWM1" to "CDWM4" (symbol combination group "CD watermelon") are all symbols "WM" on the upper stage of the left reel 13L, the middle stage of the middle reel 13M, and the lower stage of the right reel 13R in the display window 11. (Watermelon) ”is displayed, which is a symbol combination in which watermelons are aligned on the line descending to the right. When the combination is lined up on the winning line, a winning is made and a payout of "4" is obtained. Note that these combinations have reels 13L, 13M, and 13R that do not have symbols that form a symbol combination within a frame (a frame at the operation timing + 4 frames at the maximum slip), so that all of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R If the operation timing does not match, the prize is not won.

  The combination “CWM” (symbol combination group “C watermelon”) is a symbol combination in which watermelons are arranged in the middle line by displaying the symbol “WM” on the pay line (middle line). When the combination is lined up on the pay line, a prize is awarded and a payout of “4” is paid out. Note that these combinations have reels 13L, 13M, and 13R that do not have symbols that form a symbol combination within a frame (frames of operation timing + 4 frames of maximum sliding), so operation timings of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R. If it doesn't match, it won't win.

(2) Setting control means 101
The setting control means 101 of FIG. 4 sets one setting value from a plurality of setting values (setting 1 to setting 6) having different payout rates. This set value is for selecting the winning combination lottery table 671 selected by the table selecting means 102 described later, and any of the setting values corresponds to each of the plurality of winning combination lottery tables 671 stored in the ROM 67. It is attached. Then, the setting control means 101 determines the ON / OFF state of the change processing start switch 56 when the power is turned on (when the power switch 50 is turned on), and the power is turned on when the change processing start switch 56 is on. Then, a predetermined setting changing process is started.

  Here, the winning probability in the lottery in the general game is set in a plurality of stages which are distinguished by a plurality of types of setting values (here, six types), and the role lottery shown in FIG. 4 is set for each of the plurality of setting values. A table 671 (general game lottery table) is associated. Then, when the setting change process is started, the manager of the pachinko hall in which the slot machine 1 is installed can change this set value. At this time, the reset switch 52 is used, and after the setting change process is started, each time the reset switch 52 is pressed, the set value can be increased by 1 and changed. When the reset switch 52 is pressed in the setting 6, the setting 1 is restored.

(3) Table selection means 102
The table selection means 102 of FIG. 4 is the type of game (RT0, RT1, RT2, RT3, BB1, etc.) controlled by the game control means 100 on the main control board 63, and the setting value (setting) set by the setting control means 101. Based on 1 to setting 6), one lottery table is selected from the plurality of winning lottery tables 671 shown in FIG. That is, for example, in the normal game, the table selection means 102 selects the role lottery table 671 (general game lottery table) as the role lottery table in accordance with the winning probability setting values (setting 1 to setting 6).

(4) Role lottery means 103
The role lottery means 103 of FIG. 4 is a timing at which the start switch 19 is operated to start a game, and a plurality of normal roles (small roles, re-game roles) including a specific combination and a plurality of combinations including a bonus combination ( The role lottery is performed to determine which of the winning combinations (see FIG. 10) has been won based on the lottery value generated based on the start of the game. Further, in the AT non-permissible state, the role lottery means 103, when the initial RT (RT0), the normal RT (RT1), and the advantageous RT (RT2) (see FIG. 10), refer to the lottery value used for the role lottery. Using the same lottery value, it is determined whether or not the AT allowable combination to be in the AT allowable state is won (AT allowable winning). Further, the role lottery means 103 is a lottery value used for the role lottery when the initial RT (RT0), the normal RT (RT1), the advantageous RT (RT2), and the bonus game state (BB1) in the AT allowable state. Using the same lottery value as above, it is determined whether or not the AT right hand is won (AT right win) (see FIG. 10). The role lottery means 103 includes lottery value generation means 103a and lottery value determination determination means 103b.

(4-1) Lottery value generation means 103a
In the lottery value generation means 103a, a random number generation means composed of an oscillation circuit and a counter circuit that counts a clock signal generated by the oscillation circuit is within a predetermined range (for example, 0 to 16383 in decimal). The generated random number for lottery is extracted at the timing when the start switch 19 is operated to generate lottery values for winning a lottery, determining an AT acceptable win, and determining an AT right win. Since the random number generating means is composed of a counter circuit or the like, the numerical values generated by the random number generating means are not strictly random numbers. However, since the timing of operating the start switch 19 is considered to be random, the lottery value generated by the lottery value generating means 103a can be treated substantially as a random number. The lottery value generation means 103a may generate the lottery value using a random number generated by a random number generator, or may generate the lottery value using a software random number. The lottery value generation means 103a may generate the lottery value by performing a predetermined calculation on the extracted random number value or the generated random number value.

(4-2) Lottery value determination determination means 103b
The lottery value determination determining means 103b determines which of the plurality of winning combinations including the AT allowable winning combination and the AT right winning combination is won by judging the lottery value generated by the lottery value generating module 103a. To do.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 21, in the winning combination lottery table 671, for each drawing value within the range generated by the random number generating means, a plurality of winning combinations shown in FIG. The correspondence relationship between the lottery value and the winning combination for determining which winning combination of the winning combination, the BB1 middle winning combination, the re-gaming combination, and the bonus combination is to be won or lost is preset. The lottery value determination determining means 103b refers to the winning combination lottery table 671 selected by the table selecting means 102, and determines which winning combination the winning value of the winning lottery value generated by the lottery value generating means 103a is set, or is set to be lost. By determining whether or not the winning combination has been won, it is determined which one of the plurality of winning combinations including the AT allowable winning combination and the AT right winning combination has been won.

  That is, with respect to the entire range of the lottery values generated by the lottery value generating means 103a, the range of values that is determined to shift to the AT permissible state (AT permissible win) and the number of values not to shift to the AT permissive state (AT permissible non-win). The value range and the lottery table 671 are set in advance, and the lottery value determination determination means 103b sets the lottery value generated by the lottery value generation means 103a for the role lottery based on the start of the game to the AT allowable state. It is also used to decide whether to migrate. Further, in the entire range of the lottery values generated by the lottery value generating means 103a, a range of values for AT right win (lottery for number of games, lottery for additional rate lottery) and a range of values for not winning AT right are useful. The lottery value determination determination means 103b is preset in the lottery table 671 and the lottery value generated by the lottery value generation means 103a for the role lottery based on the start of the game is added to the number of games in the AT allowable state to perform lottery. It is also used to decide whether or not.

  Further, in the role lottery table 671, some of the lottery values are set redundantly for the winning of a plurality of hands, and therefore the lottery value determination determining means 103b determines all of the lottery values generated by the lottery value generating means 103a. When the determination is made on the range, that is, as the winning lottery result of the winning lottery means 103, the winning combination groups shown in FIG. 10 are configured, and each winning combination group is given a unique identification number. In addition, among the identification numbers (winning combination groups) shown in FIG. 10, for the winning combination groups of the identification numbers formed by a plurality of winning combinations, the symbol combinations of all the winning combinations forming the winning combination group of the identification numbers. It is a state in which it is allowed to align with the winning line. The identification numbers 34 to 57 in FIG. 10 correspond to the pressing order bells with the lower winning combination numbers “11h” to “28h” shown in FIG. 9, respectively, but are not shown.

  Further, when the identification number (winning combination group) won in the AT non-permitted state includes the AT permissible winning combination, the AT permissible winning is set, and the slot machine 1 is set to the AT permissible state by the AT permissible state setting means 100c. The initial right granting means 100d performs a sorting lottery using the AT allowable winning game number distribution table 673 (see FIGS. 4 and 24) corresponding to the winning identification number. Further, when the identification number (winning combination group) won in the AT allowed state includes the AT right hand, the AT right is won, and the AT addition lottery table 674 (see FIG. 27) corresponding to the winning identification number is displayed. The number of games used is added by lottery or added by the addition means 100e during the period.

  Note that, as shown in FIG. 21, a part of the specific lottery values among the lottery values in which all the winning hands are unwinned (miss) in the hand lottery by the hand lottery means 103 (FIG. 4) in the normal RT (RT1) Is a winning replay (specific general role) that is a re-playing combination in the role lottery means 103 in the advantageous RT (RT2), and the regular RT (RT1) and the advantageous RT are used for lottery values other than the specific lottery value. The part lottery table 671 is set so that the part lottery means 103 in (RT2) have the same part lottery result. Further, as shown in FIG. 21, the specific lottery value does not include the lottery value that wins the AT permissible winning combination that is determined to be in the AT permissible state.

  With this configuration, since the lottery value for the AT allowable win is not included in the lottery value that changes whether or not the general role is won depending on the gaming state, the winning probability of the general role according to the change of the gaming state It is possible to give the player a uniform sense of expectation regarding the AT allowable win regardless of the change in the level of.

  In this embodiment, the ROM 67 of the main control board 63 (corresponding to "lottery range storage means" of the present invention) has a storage area (use area) such as a game program for storing a game program and data relating to the progress of the game. , And a region other than this (non-use region), the data relating to the progress of the game and the other data are clearly separated. In the non-use area, for example, programs and data for making a fraud determination are stored. The data of the role lottery table 671 described above is stored in the storage area of the ROM 67, such as a game program storage area.

  Here, the data of the winning combination lottery table 671 will be specifically described with reference to FIG. 22. An area for storing the winning combination lottery table 671 in the ROM 67 of the main control board 63 (corresponding to the “lottery range storage area” of the present invention). ) Stores lottery value range data (corresponding to “first lottery range data” of the present invention) of an identification number (for example, identification number 3: first role) including at least one of an AT allowable hand and an AT right hand. AT lottery value storage area (corresponding to the “first area” of the present invention) and lottery range data of an identification number (for example, identification number 2: second part) that does not include any of these (the “second lottery of the present invention” Non-AT lottery value storage area (corresponding to “second area” of the present invention) for storing “range data”). At this time, the AT lottery value storage area does not store the lottery range data of the identification number that does not include the AT permissible hand and the AT right hand, while the non-AT lottery value storage area includes the AT permissible hand and the AT right hand. The lottery range data of the identification number is not stored.

  In this embodiment, as for each identification number (for example, identification number 3) including the AT permitted part and the AT right part, the same lottery range data (common data) is set even if the game state and the type of the set value are different. On the other hand, as for each identification number (for example, identification number 2) that does not include the AT allowable part and the AT right part, lottery range data is individually set according to the game state and the type of set value. (See FIGS. 11 to 15). Further, in the non-AT lottery value storage area, the storage area of the lottery range data of each identification number is set for each type of game state and at a different position (address) for each type of set value. On the other hand, in the AT lottery value storage area, the storage area of the lottery range data of each identification number is set at a common position (address) regardless of the set value or the type of game state.

  In this embodiment, the area for storing the data of the winning combination lottery table 671 of the ROM 67 includes the area for storing the lottery range data of the identification numbers that does not include the AT allowable combination and the AT right combination, and the identification number that does not include these areas. Although it is divided into two areas, that is, an area for storing lottery range data, for example, an area for storing lottery range data of an identification number that includes an AT permissible hand but does not include an AT right hand, and an AT right hand. It is divided into an area for storing lottery range data of identification numbers that includes but does not include an AT permissible hand and an area that stores lottery range data of identification numbers that does not include an AT permissive hand and an AT right hand. It may be configured to be stored in the area. In addition, it is divided into an area for storing lottery range data of identification numbers including the AT permissible winning combination and two areas for storing lottery range data of identification numbers not including the AT permissible winning combinations, and these are divided into different areas of the ROM 67. It may be stored. By doing so, it is possible to easily determine fraud and trouble by determining which area of the lottery range data was used in the winning lottery when the additional lottery in the AT period or when the AT allowable lottery is won.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 23, in the non-AT lottery value storage area, a spare storage area may be provided for storing spare lottery range data for each type of identification number including the AT allowable hand and the AT right hand. .. In this case, in the spare storage area, the spare lottery value range data is stored at different positions for each type of game state and for each type of set value, for each identification number including the AT allowable hand and the AT right hand. A storage area is provided, and in this embodiment, a value of 0 (corresponding to “predetermined data” of the present invention) is stored in each position. The data to be stored in the spare storage area may be any data as long as it can be identified as the spare data, and data other than 0, such as 65536 and FF, may be stored. Further, in this case, if the data in the preliminary storage area is used in the role lottery to determine whether or not the identification number including the AT allowable role or the AT right role is won, it is determined that an abnormal role lottery has been performed. You may make it provide the abnormal lottery determination means. In this case, the abnormal lottery determination means determines the lottery range data used for the winning combination lottery when the internally-winning identification number includes an AT acceptable winning combination or an AT right winning combination, and the value is If it is 0, 65536, or FF, it may be determined that an abnormal winning combination lottery has been performed. By doing so, for example, even when the design number of the identification number including the AT allowable role or the AT right role is changed to the identification number not including the AT allowable role or the AT right role, the identification number that does not include the AT allowable role or the AT right role is identified. The addition of the lottery range data of the number does not cause a shift in the storage positions of the other lottery range data to complicate the program change, and the design can be easily changed. Further, since it is possible to specify that the data in the spare storage area is a spare, it is possible to prevent confusion with the regular data. Further, if there is an illegality using the data in the preliminary storage area, the irregularity lottery judging means can surely judge the illegality.

  Further, as described above, in each gaming state (RT0, RT1, RT2, RT3, BB1), a predetermined range of lottery values is associated with the identification number of each winning combination group in advance. The same data (lottery value) is associated with the identification number including at least one of the winning combinations of the right-handers regardless of the set value. That is, the lottery value determined as the AT acceptable win by the lottery value determination determination means 103b in the game in the AT game non-permitted state is the same regardless of the type of the set value, and the lottery value in the game in the AT game permissible state. The lottery value determined as the AT right winning by the determination determining means 103b is the same regardless of the type of the set value.

  According to this structure, the expected value for the AT permissible win and the expected value for the AT right win do not change depending on the set value set by the setting control means 101. Since it is possible to always have a uniform sense of expectation, it is possible to improve the interest of the player. The function of the lottery value determination determination means 103b in the AT non-permissible state to determine whether or not to win the AT permissible hand corresponds to the "permissible state determination means" of the present invention.

  In addition, in the example shown in FIGS. 11 to 15, the identification numbers (for example, the pushing order bell: the identification numbers 34 to 57) in which the range of the lottery value that is different for each set value is set do not depend on the type of the set value. The same range of lottery values may be set for each.

  Next, the names of the winning combinations that make up the winning combination group of the respective identification numbers in FIG. 10 will be specifically described.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the role names are “AT allowed”, “AT right”, “red 7 big”, “BAR big”, “normal replay”, “promotion replay 1” to “promotion replay 6”, “fall”. "Replay 1" ~ "Fall Replay 3", "BAR Replay Replay", "Fake Replay", "Cherry", "Watermelon A", "Watermelon B", "Pushing Order No Problem Bell", "Left Middle Right Correct Bell 1" ~ "Left middle right correct answer bell 4", "Left right middle correct answer bell 1" ~ "Left right middle correct answer bell 4", "Middle left right correct answer bell 1" ~ "Middle left right correct answer bell 4", "Middle right left correct answer bell 1" ~ A plurality of "middle right correct answer bell 4", "right left middle correct answer bell 1" to "right left middle correct answer bell 4", "right middle left correct answer bell 1" to "right middle left correct answer bell 4", and "BB1 middle role" The types of roles are set. Each of these roles except "AT allowed" and "AT right" is composed of one or a plurality of types of symbol combination groups.

  Here, when a winning combination group (identification number) including a combination composed of a plurality of symbol combination groups is won (see FIG. 10), all of the pattern combination groups forming the combination are aligned on the winning line. It is in a state where it is allowed to do. Specifically, for example, when the "promotion replay 6" shown in FIG. 9 is won, one of the symbol combinations of the symbol combination group "N lip" "U lip" "SP1" "SP2" is aligned on the winning line. Is allowed.

  As shown in FIG. 9, "red 7 big" and "BAR big" are bonus roles, and "normal replay" is a re-gaming role irrelevant to the transition of the gaming state. Further, all of "promotion replay 1" to "promotion replay 6" are re-play roles provided as specific roles to which the privilege that the game state is promoted (RT1 → RT2) is given by the pressing order. In addition, "falling replay 1" to "falling replay 3" are all provided as specific roles to which the privilege of maintaining the gaming state without falling (RT2 → RT1) (RT2 → RT2) is given by the pressing order. It is a replayed role.

  In addition, "BAR complete replay" is a re-game role that is targeted for a lottery only during the bonus game (BB1), and in the game in which this winning combination is won, all reels 13L, 13M, 13R will be marked with a symbol. It is configured so that "BARs" are aligned. Specifically, when the symbol "CH (cherry)" is pressed when the left reel 13L is first stopped, the symbol "CH (cherry)" is stopped in the middle. At this time, the symbol "BAR" is stopped on the upper stage, and when the symbol "BAR" is aimed at the second and third stops, the symbol "BAR" is arranged in a straight line (obliquely downward). In other cases, such as when the symbol “CH (cherry)” is not pressed in the first stop, in other cases, the symbol combination group “N Lip” is aligned on the pay line.

  In addition, "fake replay" is a re-playing role that is a target of the lottery only in the bonus game state (BB1), and when the symbol "BAR" is pushed in the game that is won by this winning combination, the symbol "BAR" is displayed. It is constructed so that it will be tempted but will not be completed at the final stop. Specifically, when the symbol "CH (cherry)" is pressed when the left reel 13L is first stopped, the symbol "CH (cherry)" is stopped in the middle. At this time, the symbol "BAR" is stopped in the upper row, and when the symbol "BAR" is aimed at the second stop, the symbol "BAR" is tempted obliquely downward. Next, even if the design "BAR" is pressed at the third stop, they are not aligned. When the symbol “CH (cherry)” is not pressed in the first stop, any of the combinations “NRP1” to “NRP12” that form the symbol combination group “N Lip” are aligned on the winning line. ing. Further, when the button is pressed backward (right → middle → left), one of the symbol combination groups “SRP1” to “SRP4” is arranged on the pay line.

  Further, “cherry”, “watermelon A”, and “watermelon B” are all small wins for paying out medals (game value). In addition, in the symbol combination group that constitutes these small winning combinations, reels 13L, 13M, and 13R that do not have a symbol that constitute a symbol combination within 5 frames (operation timing frame + maximum sliding 4 frames) are included. Therefore, if the operation timings of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R do not match, a dropout (non-win) occurs.

  The “pressing order no question bell” is a small role in which the symbols of the symbol combination group “C bell” are arranged on the winning line regardless of the pressing order. In addition, when the winning combination is won during the ART in the AT allowed state shown in FIG. 5, there may be a case where an effect is given to notify the player of the pushing order.

  In addition, "left middle right correct answer bell 1" to "left middle right correct answer bell 4" are all specific roles in which the player's advantage (payout) is different depending on the operation order (pushing order) of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R. As a small role. When these winning combinations are won, when the first stop is the left reel 13L, the second stop is the middle reel 13M, and the third stop is the right reel 13R in the pushing order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, the symbol combination group. The symbols relating to "T bell" are lined up on the pay line, and "9 coins" are awarded. When the operation is performed in a pressing order other than this, whether or not the symbols relating to the symbol combination group with the payout of "1" are aligned on the pay line or the symbols are missed.

  In addition, "right middle correct answer bell 1" to "right middle correct answer bell 4" are all small roles as special hand roles in which the player's advantage (payout) varies depending on the operation order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R. is there. When these winning combinations are won, the first stop is operated by the left reel 13L, the second stop is operated by the right reel 13R, and the third stop is operated by the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R in the pushing order of the middle reel 13M. The symbols relating to "CD bell" are aligned on the pay line, and a payout of "9" is awarded. When the operation is performed in a pressing order other than this, whether or not the symbols relating to the symbol combination group with the payout of "1" are aligned on the pay line or the symbols are missed.

  In addition, "middle left / right correct answer bell 1" to "middle left / right correct answer bell 4" are all small roles as specific wins whose player's advantage (payout) is different depending on the operation order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R. . When these winning combinations are won, when the first stop is the middle reel 13M, the second stop is the left reel 13L, and the third stop is the right reel 13R, the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are operated in this order. The symbols of "C bell" are lined up on the pay line, and a payout of "9" is awarded. When the operation is performed in a pressing order other than this, whether or not the symbols relating to the symbol combination group with the payout of "1" are aligned on the pay line or the symbols are missed.

  In addition, "middle right correct answer bell 1" to "middle right correct answer bell 4" are all small roles as specific wins in which the player's advantage (payout) is different depending on the operation order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R. . When these winning combinations are won, when the first stop is the middle reel 13M, the second stop is the right reel 13R, and the third stop is the left reel 13L, the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are operated in this order. The symbols relating to "CU bell" are aligned on the pay line, and "9 coins" are awarded. When the operation is performed in a pressing order other than this, whether or not the symbols relating to the symbol combination group with the payout of "1" are aligned on the pay line or the symbols are missed.

  In addition, “right / left middle correct answer bell 1” to “right / left middle correct answer bell 4” are all small roles as specific roles in which the player's advantage (payout) differs depending on the operation order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R. . If these winning combinations are won, the first stop is operated by the right reel 13R, the second stop is the left reel 13L, and the third stop is the middle reel 13M in the pushing order by the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, and the symbol combination group. The symbols related to "KY Bell" are lined up on the pay line, and a payout of "9" is awarded. When the operation is performed in a pressing order other than this, whether or not the symbols relating to the symbol combination group with the payout of "1" are aligned on the pay line or the symbols are missed.

  In addition, "Right middle left correct answer bell 1" to "Right middle left correct answer bell 4" are all small roles as specific roles in which the player's advantage (payout) is different depending on the operation order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R. Is. When these winning combinations are won, the first stop is operated by the stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R in the pushing order of the right reel 13R, the second stop is the middle reel 13M, and the third stop is the left reel 13L. The symbols related to "KY Bell" are lined up on the pay line, and a payout of "9" is awarded. When the operation is performed in a pressing order other than this, whether or not the symbols relating to the symbol combination group with the payout of "1" are aligned on the pay line or the symbols are missed.

  The “BB1 middle winning combination” is a winning combination that is targeted for the lottery only during the bonus game (BB1). When this winning combination is won, the symbols of the symbol combination group “C-bell” are aligned on the pay line and the “9 coins” payout is awarded regardless of the order of pressing.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10, when the winning combination lottery result of the winning combination lottery means 103 is, for example, the identification number 19 “red 7 big + cherry”, both winning combinations “cherry” and “red 7 big” are won. It is a state in which it is allowed to align the symbol combination on the pay line, and the symbols relating to the symbol combination “RBB1” (see FIG. 6) and “BCH” (see FIG. 8) may be aligned on the pay line. As other identification numbers including the bonus combination (role lottery result), "BAR big + cherry" (identification number 22), "AT right + red 7 big + watermelon A" (identification number 27), "BAR big + Watermelon A "(identification number 28)," AT allowance + AT right + red 7 big + watermelon B "(identification number 31)," AT allowance + AT right + red 7 big + cherry "(identification number 20)," AT right + " “Red 7 big + cherry” (identification number 21) and “AT allowance + AT right + BAR big + cherry” (identification number 23) are configured. Therefore, when the symbol combinations related to the winning combination “cherry”, “watermelon A”, and “watermelon B” are aligned on the winning line, the degree of expectation of winning the bonus combination is increased.

  During the bonus internal winning (RT3), since the winning state of the bonus combination has been carried over, the result of the role lottery means 103 is “red 7 big + cherry” (identification number 19), "BAR big + cherry" (identification number 22), "AT allowance + AT right + red 7 big + cherry" (identification number 20), "AT right + red 7 big + cherry" (identification number 21), "AT allowance + AT right" + BAR big + cherry ”(identification number 23), a new type of bonus combination is not won, and the winning combination“ cherry ”is accepted as a symbol combination other than the carried-over bonus combination. It is allowed that only the symbol combination related to "is aligned on the winning line. In addition, the part lottery result of the part lottery means 103 is one of the identification numbers “AT right + red 7 big + watermelon A”, “BAR big + watermelon A”, and “AT allowance + AT right + red 7 big + watermelon B”. In the case of, a new type of bonus combination is not won, and only the symbol combination related to the combination name “watermelon A” or “watermelon B” is allowed as a symbol combination other than the carried-over bonus combination. It is allowed to line up on the winning line.

  As shown in FIG. 10, in this embodiment, the AT permissible hand is not won during the bonus game state (BB1), but for example, the AT permissible hand is also won during BB1. If the lottery value is the AT allowable win, the AT allowable win may be invalidated during BB1. Further, in this embodiment, the AT permissible hand and / or the AT right hand are not individually elected, but the AT permissible hand and / or the AT right hand may be elected independently. .

(5) Decision result storage means 104
The determination result storage means 104 of FIG. 4 stores, as a determination result by the lottery value determination determination means 103b, information capable of specifying whether or not a bonus combination is won in the first data area of the determination result storage area 652, Information that can specify whether or not a general combination is won is stored in the second data area of the determination result storage area 652, and information that can specify whether or not an AT allowable state (AT allowable win) is determined Information that is stored in the third data area of the storage area 652 and that can specify whether or not the AT right is won is stored in the fourth data area of the decision result storage area 652.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, a hexadecimal highest winning combination number 1 unique to the AT allowable winning combination and a hexadecimal highest winning winning combination number 2 unique to the AT right winning combination are assigned to each bonus. A unique hexadecimal higher combination number is assigned to each winning combination, and a unique hexadecimal lower combination number is assigned to each general winning combination (replay combination, small combination, BB1 combination). Then, the decision result storage unit 104 stores the winning combination numbers assigned to the winning combinations (including the case of losing) that form the identification numbers (winning winning groups) that are the winning combination lottery results of the winning combination lottery unit 103. Store in the corresponding data area 652.

  That is, when the result of the lottery of the winning combination lottery means 103 is any of the identification numbers (winning winning combination groups) including the AT acceptable winning combination shown in FIG. The highest assigned combination number 1 “01h” is stored in the 1-byte third data area of the decision result storage area 652. If the AT allowable winning combination is lost (non-winning), the determination result storage unit 104 stores the highest winning combination number 1 "00h" assigned to the lost data in the data area. Also, after storing "01h" as the highest position number 1, by keeping this value, even if there is a new AT permissible winning combination, it is ignored, and when the ending condition or the limiter condition is satisfied, the highest position number is After "00h" is stored as 1, the AT-allowed winning is possible.

  Further, when the winning combination lottery result of the winning combination lottery means 103 is one of the identification numbers (winning winning combination groups) including the AT right winning combination shown in FIG. 10, the highest winning combination number 2 “01h” is set in the determination result storage area. The data is stored in the 1-byte fourth data area 652. When the AT right hand is lost (non-winning), the determination result storage means 104 stores the highest winning hand number 2 "00h" assigned to the lose in the data area. Here, with respect to each of the AT allowable win and the AT right win, whether or not the win is possible can be determined by ON / OFF of a flag composed of 1 bit. Therefore, in order to reduce the memory capacity in the role lottery, unlike the bonus role and the general role, each of the AT allowable win and the AT right win does not use the storage capacity of 1 byte for each of the AT allowable win and the AT right win. A 1-bit flag that can store ON and OFF is provided in correspondence with the above, and the ON and OFF states of the flags provided corresponding to each are set to determine the status of each of the AT allowable win and the AT right win. May be determined (stored).

  Further, when the winning combination lottery result of the winning combination lottery means 103 is one of the identification numbers (winning winning combination groups) including the bonus winning combination shown in FIG. 10, the determination result storage means 104 is assigned to the winning bonus winning combination. Either of the higher winning combination numbers “01h” and “02h” is stored in the 1-byte first data area of the decision result storage area 652. When the bonus winning combination is lost (non-winning), the determination result storage unit 104 stores the higher winning combination number “00h” assigned to the loss in the data area. Further, after storing "01h" or "02h" as the higher winning combination number, this value is maintained until the bonus winning combination is won, whereby the bonus winning combination is carried over.

  Further, when the result of the lottery of the role lottery means 103 is any of the identification numbers (winning combination group) including the general combination (re-game combination, small combination, BB1 middle combination) shown in FIG. 10, the determination result The storage means 104 stores one of the lower winning combination numbers “01h” to “29h” assigned to the winning general winning combination in the 1-byte second data area of the decision result storage area 652. When the general winning combination is lost (non-winning), the determination result storage unit 104 stores the lower winning combination number “00h” assigned to the loss in the data area.

  With this configuration, the bonus winning combination, the general winning combination, the AT allowable winning, and the AT right winning are stored in parallel and managed, and therefore, when these winnings are determined using the same lottery value. Each winning can be managed collectively. Further, by storing and managing the data in this way, it is possible to make a determination by referring to only the data type required in one control, so that the processing can be performed efficiently.

  Note that an AT allowable state storage area for storing the AT allowable state may be further provided. In this case, in the case of the AT acceptable win, the highest winning combination number 1 “01h” is temporarily stored in the determination result storage area 652, and the data stored in the separately provided AT acceptable state storage area is confirmed. If "00h" is stored in the AT allowable state storage area, "01h" may be stored in the AT allowable state storage area. After storing "01h" in the AT allowable state storage area, this value may be maintained until the end condition or the limiter condition is satisfied.

  Further, in this embodiment, it is configured such that a plurality of general winning combination is not won at the same time. However, in a case where a plurality of general winning combinations are configured to win at the same time, a plurality of winning general winning combinations The storage capacity of the second data area of the determination result storage area 652 may be set so that all of the lower order combination numbers assigned to each can be stored. Also, a lower winning combination number is newly assigned to each combination of general winning combinations to be simultaneously won, and the lower winning combination numbers assigned to the combinations of simultaneously winning general winning combinations are stored in the second data area of the decision result storage area 652. May be.

  Further, when confirming the role lottery result of the role lottery means 103, if the slot machine 1 is set in the AT non-permissible state, the determination result storage area in which the highest winning number 1 for the AT permissible hand is stored. The third data area 652 is referred to, but the fourth data area of the determination result storage area 652 in which the highest winning combination number 2 of the AT right hand is stored is not referred to, and the slot machine 1 is in the AT allowable state. When set to, the fourth data area of the determination result storage area 652 in which the highest winning combination number 2 of the AT right hand is stored is referred to, but the highest winning combination number 1 of the AT allowable hand is stored. The third data area of the determination result storage area 652 is configured not to be referred to.

(5) Stop control means 105
The stop control means 105 of FIG. 4 uses the stop table 672 of each reel 13L, 13M, 13R based on the operation mode of each stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R by the player and the winning combination lottery result of the winning combination lottery means 103. The stop control is performed. In order to win the winning combination belonging to the identification number determined by the winning combination lottery means 103, the stop control means 105 basically uses all the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R to draw the composition symbol within the retractable range (the middle row). ) Stop control is performed. Since each reel 13L, 13M, and 13R is set with an allowable number of sliding pieces (retractable range: usually, maximum 4 pieces), if the operation timing does not match, the winning line will be a winning symbol. In some cases, it may not be possible to align, and in such a case, a dropout (non-win) occurs.

  In the "normal replay", the symbols constituting the winning combinations "NRP1" to "NRP12" are arranged at positions where the symbols can be pulled in no matter which timing the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R are operated. The stop control means 105 performs reel control so that any one of the combinations “NRP1” to “NRP12” is always aligned on the winning line.

  "Promotion Replay 1" is composed of two types of symbol combination groups "N Lip" and "U Lip". In this embodiment, when the identification number including the winning combination is won, the priority order of the symbol combination groups to be preferentially arranged according to the pressing order is set. Specifically, when the identification number including the winning combination is won, the stop control means 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group “U-lip” in the case of the pushing order of “left → middle → right”, and in other cases. Performs the stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R by giving priority to the symbol combination group "N Lip" (see FIG. 30 (a)). Both symbol combination groups are the symbol combination groups that are not missed, so that the symbol combination groups that are prioritized are always available (winning). In addition, since the symbol combination group "U Lip" is related to the transition to an advantageous RT (RT2), in "Promotion Replay 1", the pushing order of "left → middle → right" is advantageous to the player. Becomes

  "Promotion Replay 2" is composed of three types of symbol combination groups "N Lip", "U Lip" and "SP Lip 1". Even when the identification number including the winning combination is won, the priority order of the symbol combination groups to be preferentially arranged according to the pressing order is set.

Performs the stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R by giving priority to the symbol combination group "N Lip" (see FIG. 30 (a)). Both symbol combination groups are the symbol combination groups that are not missed, so that the symbol combination groups that are prioritized are always available (winning). Here, the symbol combination group "SP Lip 4" is a symbol combination group that constitutes the winning combination, but is a symbol combination group that is not actually arranged. In the “promotion replay 5”, the pushing order of “right → left → middle” (“U lip”) is the pushing order advantageous to the player.

  "Promotion Replay 6" is composed of four types of symbol combination groups "N Lip", "U Lip", "SP Lip 1" and "SP Lip 2". Even when the identification number including the winning combination is won, the priority order of the symbol combination groups to be preferentially arranged according to the pressing order is set. Specifically, when the identification number including the winning combination is won, the stop control means 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group “U-lip” in the case of the pushing order of “right → middle → left”, and in other cases. Performs the stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R by giving priority to the symbol combination group "N Lip" (see FIG. 30 (a)). Both symbol combination groups are the symbol combination groups that are not missed, so that the symbol combination groups that are prioritized are always available (winning). Here, the symbol combination groups “SP REP 1” and “SP REP 2” are symbol combination groups constituting the winning combination, but are symbol combination groups that are not actually arranged. In the “promotion replay 6”, the pressing order of “right → middle → left” (“U lip”) is a pressing order advantageous to the player.

  “Falling replay 1” is composed of two types of symbol combination groups “N rep” and “D rep”. When the identification number including the winning combination is won, the priority order of the symbol combination group to be preferentially arranged according to the first stop mode of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R is set. Specifically, the stop control means 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group “N Lip” when the left reel 13L is in the first stop at the time of winning the identification number including the winning combination, and in other cases, the symbol combination The stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is performed by giving priority to the group "D Lip" (see FIG. 31A). Both symbol combination groups are the symbol combination groups that are not missed, so that the symbol combination groups that are prioritized are always available (winning). In addition, since the symbol combination group “D REP” is related to the transition from the advantageous RT (RT2) to the normal RT (RT1), in the “falling replay 1”, the left reel 13L is in the first stop pressing order is the game. It is a push order that is advantageous to the user.

  The “falling replay 2” is composed of three types of symbol combination groups “N rep”, “D rep” and “SP rep 1”. Even when the identification number including the winning combination is won, the priority order of the symbol combination groups to be preferentially arranged according to the first stop mode of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R is set. Specifically, the stop control means 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group "N Lip" when the middle reel 13M is in the first stop at the time of winning the identification number including the winning combination, and in other cases, the symbol combination The stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is performed by giving priority to the group "D Lip" (see FIG. 31A). Both symbol combination groups are the symbol combination groups that are not missed, so that the symbol combination groups that are prioritized are always available (winning). Here, the symbol combination group “SP Lip 1” is a symbol combination group that constitutes the winning combination, but is a symbol combination group that is not actually arranged. In the "falling replay 2", the pushing order for the first reel 13M to stop ("N rip") is the pushing order advantageous to the player.

  The “falling replay 3” is composed of three types of symbol combination groups “N rep”, “D rep” and “SP rep 2”. Even when the identification number including the winning combination is won, the priority order of the symbol combination groups to be preferentially arranged according to the first stop mode of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R is set. Specifically, the stop control means 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group “N Lip” when the right reel 13M is in the first stop when the identification number including the winning combination is won, and in other cases, the symbol combination The stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is performed by giving priority to the group "D Lip" (see FIG. 31A). Both symbol combination groups are the symbol combination groups that are not missed, so that the symbol combination groups that are prioritized are always available (winning). Here, the symbol combination group “SP Lip 2” is a symbol combination group that constitutes the winning combination, but is a symbol combination group that is not actually arranged. In the “falling replay 3”, the pushing order of the first stop of the right reel 13R (“N lip”) is the pushing order advantageous to the player.

  "BAR complete replay" is composed of two types of symbol combination groups "CH REP" and "N REP". When the identification number including the winning combination is won, the stop control means 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group “CH REP” when the first stop is the left reel 13L, and otherwise the symbol combination group “N REP”. Is preferentially controlled to stop the reels 13L, 13M, 13R (see FIG. 32 (a)). For example, when the symbol "CH (cherry)" is operated at the timing when the symbol "CH (cherry)" can be drawn into the left reel 13L, the symbol "CH (cherry)" is stopped in the middle of the left reel 13L. At this time, the symbol "BAR" is located in the upper row. When the symbol “BAR” is pressed by both the second and third stops, the stop control means 105 controls the reels 13L, 13M, 13R so that the symbols “BAR” are aligned linearly. When the first stop is the left reel 13L, but the operation timing is such that the symbol “CH (cherry)” cannot be pulled in, the stop control means 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group “N rep” and the reels 13L and 13M. , 13R stop control is performed.

  The "fake replay" is composed of six types of symbol combination groups "CH REP", "N REP" and "SP REP 1" to "SP REP 4". When the identification number including the winning combination is won, when the first stop is the left reel 13L, the stop control means 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group "CH REP" and controls the stop of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R. Perform (see FIG. 32 (a)). For example, when the symbol "CH (cherry)" is operated at the timing when the symbol "CH (cherry)" can be drawn into the left reel 13L, the symbol "CH (cherry)" is stopped in the middle of the left reel 13L. At this time, the symbol "BAR" is located in the upper row. When the symbol "BAR" of the middle reel 13M is pressed by the second stop, the stop control means 105 performs the stop control of the middle reel 13M so that the symbol "BAR" is tempted. When the symbol "BAR" on the right reel 13R is pressed at the final stop, the stop control means 105 controls the reels 13L, 13M, 13R so that the symbols "BAR" are not aligned. In the case of reverse pressing (right → middle → left), the stop control means 105 performs stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R so that any one of the symbol combination groups “SP REP 1” to “SP REP 4” is aligned. .. When the first stop is the middle reel 13M or the first stop is the left reel 13L, but when the operation timing is such that the symbol "CH (cherry)" cannot be drawn in, the stop control means 105 causes the symbol combination group "N Lip". ", And the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are stopped.

  "Cherry" is composed of the symbol combination group "B cherry". When the stop control means 105 wins the identification number including the winning combination, all the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R win the composition symbol within the retractable range in order to win the symbol combination group “B cherry”. Stop control to stop at (middle) is performed. For example, when the stop switch 21L is operated at the operation timing at which the symbol "BAR" can be drawn in the left reel 13L, the stop control of the left reel 13L is performed so that the symbol "BAR" is stopped in the middle stage. In each of the middle reel 13M and the right reel 13R, the symbol “CH” relating to winning is arranged in a position that can be stopped (retractable) in the middle stage regardless of which timing the stop switches 21M and 21R are operated. The stop control unit 105 controls the stop of the middle reel 13M or the right reel 13R so that the symbol "CH" is stopped in the middle stage. The stop control means 105 performs stop control of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R so that the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are lost when the stop switch 21L is not operated at an operation timing at which the symbol "BAR" can be pulled in by the left reel 13L. .

  "Watermelon A" is composed of a symbol combination group "CD watermelon". When the stop control means 105 wins the identification number including the winning combination, when the middle stop switch 21M is operated at the operation timing at which the symbol "WM" can be drawn in the middle reel 13M, the symbol "WM" is stopped in the middle stage. Thus, the stop control of the middle reel 13M is performed. In both the left reel 13L and the right reel 13R, the symbols “BE1” or “BE2” relating to winning a prize are arranged at positions that can be stopped (retractable) in the middle stage, regardless of which timing the stop switches 21M and 21R are operated. Therefore, the stop control unit 105 performs stop control of the left reel 13L or the right reel 13R so that the symbols "BE1" or "BE2" are stopped in the middle stages, respectively. The stop control means 105 controls the stop of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R so that the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are lost when the middle stop switch 21M is not operated at an operation timing at which the symbol "WM" can be pulled in by the middle reel 13M. To do.

  "Watermelon B" is composed of a symbol combination group "CD watermelon" and a symbol combination group "C watermelon". When the stop control means 105 wins the identification number including the winning combination, when the middle stop switch 21M is operated at the operation timing at which the symbol "WM" can be drawn in the middle reel 13M, the symbol "WM" is stopped in the middle stage. Thus, the stop control of the middle reel 13M is performed. In both the left reel 13L and the right reel 13R, the symbols (CD watermelon: "BE1" or "BE1" or "BE1" or "BE1" or "BE1") (BE2 ", C watermelon:" WM ") are arranged, so the stop control means 105 causes the reels 13L or 13L or so that any of the symbols" BE1 "," BE2 ", and" WM "is stopped in the middle stage. The stop control of the right reel 13R is performed. In this embodiment, with respect to the symbol combination group “CD watermelon” and the symbol combination group “C watermelon”, one of the symbols is preferentially won according to the operation timing of the stop switch 21L. The stop control means 105 controls the stop of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R so that the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are lost when the middle stop switch 21M is not operated at an operation timing at which the symbol "WM" can be pulled in by the middle reel 13M. To do.

  As shown in FIG. 10, in this embodiment, an identification number is set so that two types of bonus combination, small combination, and re-game combination are won at the same time. However, when such an identification number is won, The re-winning combination, the bonus combination, and the small combination are arranged in a priority order.

  For example, the identification number 4 (“AT allowance + AT right + red 7 big + normal replay”) is composed of symbol combination groups “N rep” and “big 1”. In the game that wins the identification number 4, when the left stop switch 21L is pressed at the first stop, the symbol for the bonus prize (symbol “red 7”) and the symbol for the re-game prize (symbol “RP1” or “ If both of the RP2 ") can be drawn in, the stop control means 105 performs reel control so that the symbols relating to the re-game winning prize are stopped on the winning line. As described above, since the normal replay does not fail to be missed, in the winning game of the identification number 4, the regular replay is always won without winning the red 7 big.

  The identification number 27 ("AT right + red 7 big + watermelon A") is composed of symbol combination groups "CD watermelon" and "big 1". In the game that wins the identification number 27, when the left stop switch 21L is pressed at the first stop, the symbol for winning the bonus (symbol “red 7”) and the symbol for winning the watermelon A (symbol “BE1” or “BE1”) When both BE2 ") can be drawn in, the stop control means 105 performs reel control so that the symbols relating to the bonus winning are stopped on the winning line.

  The identification numbers 19 to 21 (“(AT allowance + AT right +) red 7 big + cherry”) are composed of symbol combination groups “B cherry” and “big 1”. When the identification number is won, the stop control means 105 carries out bonus-priority reel control.

  The identification numbers 22 to 23 (“(AT allowance + AT right +) BAR big + cherry”) are composed of symbol combination groups “B cherry” and “big 2”. When the identification number is won, the stop control means 105 carries out bonus-priority reel control.

  The identification number 28 (“BAR big + watermelon A”) is composed of symbol combination groups “CD watermelon” and “big 2”. When the identification number is won, the stop control means 105 carries out bonus-priority reel control.

  The identification number 31 (“AT allowed + AT right + red 7 big + watermelon B”) is composed of symbol combination groups “CD watermelon”, “C watermelon” and “big 1”. When the identification number including the winning combination is won, the stop control means 105 performs bonus-priority reel control.

  In addition, "Watermelon A" is set as a winning combination for both "Red 7 Big" and "BAR Big" which are bonus roles, but "Watermelon B" is for "Red 7 Big" only. It is set as a winning role. Therefore, when the symbol combination of the symbol combination group "C watermelon" that appears only when the "Watermelon B" is won is aligned on the winning line, the expectation for winning the "Red 7 Big" is increased.

  In the case of winning the "push order unquestioned bell", the stop control means 105 controls the stop of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R so that the symbol combination group "C bell" is aligned with the winning line regardless of the push order. . In the symbol combination group, regardless of the operation timing, the composition symbols are arranged on the reels 13L, 13M, 13R so that the reels can be drawn into the pay line.

  "Left middle right correct answer bell 1" to "Left middle right correct answer bell 4", "Left right middle correct answer bell 1" to "Left right middle correct answer bell 4", "Middle left right correct answer bell 1" to "Middle left right correct answer bell 4", "Middle right correct answer bell 1"-"Middle right left correct answer bell 4", "Right left middle correct answer bell 1"-"Right left middle correct answer bell 4", "Right middle left correct answer bell 1"-"Right middle left correct answer bell 4" , Both of which are configured such that the symbol combination groups to be preferentially won differ depending on the pressing order.

  For example, when "left middle right correct answer bell 1" is won, the stop control means 105, in the case of the pushing order "left → middle → right" (when the pushing order is correct), the symbol combination group with the highest payout. The reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are stopped and controlled so that the "T-bell" has a higher priority (see FIG. 33A). Since the symbol combination group is a symbol combination group that has not been dropped (non-winning prize), it is sure to win the prize.

  If the first stop is the left reel 13L and the second stop is the right reel 13R, that is, if the second stop is an incorrect answer, the stop control means 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group "left correct answer AT" and the reel 13L. , 13M, 13R are stopped (see FIG. 33 (a)). Since the symbol combination group is a symbol combination group that has not been missed, a prize must be won.

  When the first stop is the middle reel 13M (when the first stop is an incorrect answer), the stop control means 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group "A1 incorrect answer AT" to control the stop of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R. Perform (see FIG. 33A). Specifically, since the winning symbol of the middle reel 13M of the symbol combination group “A1 incorrect answer AT” is “BE1”, the stop control means 105 causes the symbol to stop in the middle stage of the middle reel 13M. The stop control of the middle reel 13M is performed. In addition, since the symbol is not missed, the symbol always stops in the middle stage of the middle reel 13M. Subsequently, for example, when the second stop is the left reel 13L, the symbol for winning the left reel 13L of the symbol combination group "incorrect answer AT in A1" is "BAR" or "BE1", so either of these If the left reel 13L is stopped at the timing when it can be pulled in even on the other hand, the stop control means 105 controls the stop of the left reel 13L so that the symbol stops in the middle stage of the left reel 13L. At timings other than this, regardless of the operation timing of the third stop, the game is missed (non-win) (see FIG. 33 (a)). If both symbols can be drawn in, it is advisable to give priority to one of them and perform stop control. Also, in the final stop (right reel 13R) when operated at the timing of pulling the winning symbol in the second stop (left reel 13L), the winning of the right reel 13R of the symbol combination group "A1 incorrect answer AT" takes place. When the left reel 13L is stopped at a timing at which one of the symbols "red 7" and "BL" can be pulled in, the stop control means 105 causes the stop reel 105R to stop the symbol in the middle of the right reel 13R. Stop control. At timings other than this, the winning symbol is missed (non-winning) even though the winning symbol is stopped on the first and second stop reels (see FIG. 33 (a)). The same stop control is performed when the second stop reel is the right reel 13R.

  When the first stop is the right reel 13R (first stop is incorrect), the stop control means 105 gives priority to the symbol combination group “A right incorrect AT” and stops the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R. Control is performed (see FIG. 33 (a)). Specifically, since the winning symbol of the right reel 13R of the symbol combination group "A right incorrect AT" is "CH", the stop control unit 105 causes the symbol to stop in the middle stage of the right reel 13M. Then, the stop control of the middle reel 13M is performed. Since the symbol is not missed, the symbol always stops in the middle stage of the right reel 13M. Subsequently, for example, when the second stop is the left reel 13L, the symbol for winning the left reel 13L of the symbol combination group "A right incorrect solution AT" is "BAR" or "BE1", so either of these If the left reel 13L is stopped at the timing when it can be pulled in even on the other hand, the stop control means 105 controls the stop of the left reel 13L so that the symbol stops in the middle stage of the left reel 13L. At timings other than this, regardless of the operation timing of the third stop, the game is missed (non-win). If both symbols can be drawn in, it is advisable to give priority to one of them and perform stop control. Also, in the final stop (right reel 13R) when the winning symbol is operated at the timing of pulling the winning symbol with the second stop (left reel 13L), the winning of the inner reel 13M of the symbol combination group "A1 incorrect answer AT" takes place. When the left reel 13L is stopped at a timing at which one of the symbols "BAR" and "RP1" can be drawn in, the stop control means 105 causes the right reel 13R to stop the symbol in the middle stage of the right reel 13R. Perform stop control. At timings other than this, the winning symbol is missed (non-winning) even though the winning symbol is stopped on the first and second stop reels. The same stop control is performed when the second stop reel is the middle reel 13M. In the case of "left middle right correct answer bell 1", the pushing order (left → middle → right) where the symbol combination group "T bell" with the highest payout is aligned with the winning line is the pushing order advantageous to the player.

  "Left middle right correct answer bell 2" to "Left middle right correct answer bell 4" and "Left right middle correct answer bell 1" to "Left right middle correct answer bell 4", "Middle left right correct answer bell 1" to "Middle left right correct answer bell 4", About "Middle Right Left Correct Answer Bell 1" to "Middle Right Left Correct Answer Bell 4", "Right Left Middle Correct Answer Bell 1" to "Right Left Middle Correct Answer Bell 4", "Right Middle Left Correct Answer Bell 1" to "Right Middle Left Correct Answer Bell 4" Also, as in “Left, Middle and Right Answer Bell 1”, the symbol combination groups to be prioritized are different depending on the pressing order. That is, for any identification number including these winning combinations, out of the six pressing orders, one (first stop correct answer and second stop correct answer) wins 100% and nine cards are paid out, and one (first) Stop correct answer and second stop incorrect answer) will win 100% and one will be paid out, and four kinds (first stop incorrect answer) will win and one will be paid out if the operation timing of the subsequent stop reels matches. ..

(7) Notification display control means 106
The notification display control unit 106 in FIG. 4 controls the notification on the notification display 60 to be the notification mode determined by the notification mode determination unit 107 described below. The notification mode of the notification display device 60 will be described later.

(8) Notification mode determining means 107
The notification mode determination means 107 of FIG. 4 determines the notification mode on the notification display device 60 based on the role lottery result of the role lottery means 103, the state of the slot machine 1 (non-AT, AT preparing, AT in progress), and the like. To decide.

  Specifically, the notification mode determination means 107, when the game state is the initial RT (RT0), in the non-AT state or in the AT preparing state, "cherry", "watermelon A". , No matter which identification number other than the identification number including “Watermelon B” is won, the notification mode is set so that nothing is displayed on the notification display 60 (see notification type “0” in FIG. 16).

  Further, when the game mode is the initial RT (RT0) and the game state is the non-AT state or the AT preparing state, the notification mode determining means 107 internally wins the identification number including “cherry”, A notification mode (see notification type “1” in FIG. 16) of notifying information that can specify the pressing order (left → middle → right) and information that can specify the pressing order (left → right → middle) It is determined to be one of the notification modes (see notification type “2” in FIG. 16). Either of the notification modes is determined by, for example, a lottery. In addition, the push order (left → middle → right) and the push order (left → right → middle) are both "(AT allowance +) (AT right +) Red 7 Big + Cherry" It is a push order that can win both "Cherry" and "Red 7 Big".

  Further, the notification mode determining means 107 is an identification number including "watermelon A" or "watermelon B" when the game state is the initial RT (RT0) and is in the non-AT state or in the AT preparing state. In both cases, the notification mode (see notification type “3” in FIG. 16) of notifying the information that can specify the pressing order (middle → left → right) and the pressing order (middle → right → One of the notification modes (see the notification type “4” in FIG. 16) of notifying the identifiable information is determined. Either of the notification modes is determined by, for example, a lottery. The pressing order (middle → left → right) and the pressing order (middle → right → left) are "(AT right +) red 7 big + watermelon A", "watermelon A + BAR big", "(AT allowable +) (AT right +) Red 7 big + watermelon B ”, when you win a small role (“ watermelon A ”/“ watermelon B ”) or bonus role (“ red 7 big ”/“ BAR big ”) It is a push order that can win both.

  Note that the notification type “0” may be a different notification mode instead of a notification mode in which notification is not performed. In that case, it is preferable that at least all of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R do not change the notification mode until the third stop operation is performed from the rotating state.

  Further, when the gaming state is the normal RT (RT1) and the non-AT state, the notification mode determination means 107 identifies which one other than the identification number including “cherry”, “watermelon A”, and “watermelon B”. Even if the number is internally won, it is determined that the notification display 60 does not notify anything (see notification type “0” in FIG. 17). In addition, the notification mode determination means 107 is a case where the game state is the normal RT (RT1) and is in the state of AT preparation or AT, and the role lottery result is "regular replay", "push order no matter bell In any of the above cases, even if the identification number of the internal winning or the identification number of “miss” is selected, the notification mode is set so that nothing is displayed on the notification display 60 (see notification type “0” in FIG. 17).

  Further, when the gaming state is normal RT (RT1) and the identification number including “cherry” is won, the notification mode determination means 107 pushes the button in any of the non-AT, AT preparing, and AT states. Notification mode of notifying information that can specify left → middle → right (see notification type “1” in FIG. 17) and notification of notifying information that can specify the pressing order (left → right → middle). One of the modes (see the notification type “2” in FIG. 17) is determined.

  In addition, when the gaming state is normal RT (RT1) and the identification number including "watermelon A" or "watermelon B" is won, the notification mode determination means 107 determines whether the AT is non-AT, AT is preparing, or AT is in progress. Even in the state, it is possible to specify the notification mode (see notification type “3” in FIG. 17) of notifying the information that can specify the pressing order (middle → left → right) and the pressing order (middle → right → left). One of the notification modes of notifying information (see the notification type “4” in FIG. 17) is determined.

  Further, the notification mode determination means 107 identifies the internal winning in the case where the game state is the normal RT (RT1) and is in the AT preparing or AT state, and the role lottery result is “promotion replay 1”. In the case of a number, the notification mode is determined to notify the information capable of specifying the advantageous pushing order (left → middle → right) on the notification display 60 (see notification type “1” in FIG. 17). At this time, also in the case of "promotion replay 2" to "promotion replay 6", the notification mode determination unit 107 determines a notification mode in which information that allows the advantageous pressing order to be specified on the notification display 60 is notified ( Notification types “2” to “6” in FIG. 17).

  In addition, the notification mode determination means 107 is a case where the game state is the normal RT (RT1) and is in the state of AT preparation or AT, and the role lottery result is "left middle right correct answer bell 1" to " Left center right correct answer bell 4 ", left right middle correct answer bell 1" -left right middle correct answer bell 4 ", middle right right answer bell 1" "middle left right answer bell 4", "middle right right answer bell 1" ~ "middle Right-right correct answer bell 4 "," right left middle correct answer bell 1 "-" right left middle correct answer bell 4 "," right middle left correct answer bell 1 "-" right middle left correct answer bell 4 "in the case of the internal winning identification number Also, in the notification display 60, the notification mode is determined to notify the information capable of specifying each advantageous pressing order (see notification types “1” to “6” in FIG. 17).

  Further, when the gaming state is in the AT state of advantageous RT (RT2) and the winning combination lottery result is “falling replay 1” and the internal winning identification number, the notification mode determination means 107 displays the notification display 60. A notification mode of notifying information that can specify the pressing order of “left → middle → right”, which is one of the advantageous pressing orders, is determined (see the notification type “1” in FIG. 18). At this time, similarly, when the winning combination lottery results are the identification numbers of the internal winnings in the “falling replay 2” and the “falling replay 3”, the notification mode determining means 107 also makes one of the advantageous pressing orders on the notification display 60. One is determined as a notification mode in which information that can specify one is notified (see notification types “3” and “5” in FIG. 18).

  Further, when the gaming state is advantageous RT (RT2) and the identification number including "cherry" is won, the notification mode determination means 107 pushes in any order (left → middle → A notification mode of notifying information that can specify (right) (see notification type “1” in FIG. 18) and a notification mode of notifying information that can specify the pressing order (left → right → middle) (FIG. 18) Of the notification type “2”).

  In addition, when the game state is advantageous RT (RT2) and the internal number is internally won for the identification number including “watermelon A” or “watermelon B”, the notification mode determination means 107 may be in either non-AT state or AT state, A notification mode (see notification type “3” in FIG. 18) of notifying information that can specify the pressing order (middle → left → right) and information that can specify the pressing order (middle → right → left) One of the notification modes (see notification type “4” in FIG. 18) is determined.

  Further, the notification mode determination means 107 is in a state in which the game state is AT at advantageous RT (RT2), and the winning lottery result is "left middle right correct answer bell 1" to "left middle right correct answer bell 4", "left and right". Middle correct answer bell 1 ~ "Left and right middle correct answer bell 4", "Middle left and right correct answer bell 1" ~ "Middle left and right correct answer bell 4", "Middle right left correct answer bell 1" ~ "Middle right left correct answer bell 4", "Right left middle correct answer" In the case of an internally-winning identification number in any of "Bell 1" to "Right left middle correct answer bell 4" or "Right middle left correct answer bell 1" to "Right middle left correct answer bell 4", the notification display 60 is pressed with advantage. The notification mode of notifying the information whose order can be specified is determined (see notification types “1” to “6” in FIG. 18).

  Further, when the gaming state is in the AT state where the gaming state is advantageous RT (RT2), and the winning combination lottery result is the "pushing order unquestioned bell" and the identification number of the internal winning, the pushing mode "left" -> Middle-> Right, "Left-> Right-> Middle", "Middle-> Left-> Right", "Middle-> Right-> Left", "Right-> Left-> Middle". The notification mode is determined (see FIG. 35 (a)), and a notification mode in which the information capable of specifying the pressing order is notified on the notification display 60 is determined (see notification types “1 to 5” in FIG. 18).

  Further, in this embodiment, in the advantageous RT (RT2) and the bonus internal winning (RT3), the winning probability of the small winning combination does not change as compared with the normal RT (RT1), but the winning probability of the re-gaming combination is set to be high. Has been done. Also, in the advantageous RT, "falling replay 1" to "falling replay 3" are targets of the lottery, but during bonus internal winning (RT3), only the "regular replay" is the target of the re-game role. (See FIG. 34 (a)). Here, assuming a case where the bonus combination is won during the ART game and the bonus internal winning is transitioned to (RT3), before the bonus combination is won, “fall replay 1” to “fall fall replay 3” are internally won. Although the notification for avoiding the fall of the gaming state is made when the identification number is used, the avoidance notification is not issued during the bonus internal winning (RT3). In this case, the player may expect the bonus winning combination because no notification is given at the time of the replay winning before the announcement of the bonus winning combination. Further, if the avoidance notification is given during the ART, the player predicts that the possibility of winning the bonus role is low, and in any case results in reducing the enjoyment of the player. Therefore, in the notification mode determination means 107 of this embodiment, the game lottery result is “normal” when the game state is in the AT state of bonus internal winning (RT3) and before the bonus winning combination is announced. In the case of an internal winning identification number in “Replay”, i) Do not notify the pressing order, ii) Notify information that can specify the pressing order (left → middle → right), iii) Pressing order (center → left) One of four kinds of notification modes of notifying information capable of specifying →→ right) and iv) notifying information capable of specifying the pressing order (right → left → middle) is determined by lottery (FIG. 34). (See (b)), and the determined notification mode is determined as the notification mode of the notification display device 60 (see the notification type “0 or 1 or 3 or 5” in FIG. 19). The notification mode determined here is preferably the same notification mode as the avoidance notification.

  Further, when the gaming state is during bonus internal winning (RT3) and the identification number including “cherry” is won, the notification mode determination means 107 is pressed in any state of non-AT, AT preparing, and AT. A notification mode (see notification type “1” in FIG. 19) of notifying information that can specify the order (left → middle → right) and information that can specify the pressing order (left → right → middle) Is selected (see the notification type “2” in FIG. 19).

  In addition, when the gaming state is in the bonus internal winning (RT3) and the identification number including "watermelon A" or "watermelon B" is won, the notification mode determining means 107 indicates that the player is not in AT, preparing for AT, or in AT. In any state, a notification mode (see notification type “3” in FIG. 19) of notifying information that can specify the pressing order (middle → left → right) and the pressing order (middle → right → left) are specified. It is determined to be one of the notification modes of notifying possible information (see the notification type “4” in FIG. 19).

  Further, when the gaming state is the bonus gaming state (BB1) and the winning combination lottery result is the internal winning identification number of "BAR complete replay" or "fake replay", the notification mode determination means 107 shows the result as shown in FIG. When the AT is in an allowable state, the notification display 60 determines a notification mode in which information indicating that aiming at BAR from the left may be advantageous (see notification type “7” in FIG. 20), In the AT non-permissible state shown in FIG. 5, the notification display 60 determines a notification mode in which nothing is notified (see the notification type “0” in FIG. 20). In addition, in the AT non-permissible state shown in FIG. 5, it is possible to perform a notification indicating an operation procedure of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R such that the BARs are not aligned on the notification display 60.

(9) Command creating means 108
The command creating means 108 of FIG. 4 has various information such as information regarding the winning combination lottery result of the winning combination lottery means 103, information regarding the operation of operating devices such as the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, and the start switch 19 operated by the player. Command is generated to transmit the information of (1) to the sub control board 73 (sub CPU 71). Then, the command generated by the command generating means 108 is transmitted to the sub control board 73 by the command transmitting means 113 as described later. The sub control board 73 selects an effect to be executed based on the command sent from the main control board 63. In other words, the command creating means 108 creates a command instructing the effect contents to be executed on the sub control board 73.

  Further, the command creating means 108 creates a command corresponding to the notification mode of the notification display 60 based on the state of the slot machine 1 and the winning combination lottery result of the winning combination lottery means 103. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 16 to FIG. 20, a command (for example, “normal replay”) that can specify the type of winning combination that constitutes the winning combination lottery result (the winning combination group identification number) of the winning combination lottery means 103. In the case of “$ 01”), a command (for example, initial RT (RT0)) that can specify the type of the notification mode of the notification display 60 (corresponding to the “notification type” in FIGS. 16 to 20) is created. If "Cherry" is won during non-ART, "0" is created.

  16 to 20, the AT allowable role, the AT right role, and the bonus role (“red 7 big”, “BAR big”) are omitted, but the command creating means 108 identifies them. A command is also created that can specify whether or not the winning group of the number is won, and the type of the number when the internal winning group is selected.

(10) Reel detection means 109
The reel detection means 109 of FIG. 4 outputs detection signals from the left / center / right position sensors 55L, 55M, 55R and the reel motors 14L, 14M, 14R for driving the left / center / right reels 13L, 13M, 13R. The rotation positions of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are detected based on the number of supply pulses. In this case, the reel detection means 109, when the left / middle / right reels 13L, 13M, 13R are rotating and when the rotation is stopped, the reels are arranged at a predetermined reference position (in this embodiment, for example, the middle position of the display window 11). Detect the corresponding frame numbers respectively.

(11) Design determination means 110
The symbol determination means 110 of FIG. 4 is based on the rotational position of each reel 13L, 13M, 13R, the display mode of the symbols of each reel 13L, 13M, 13R stopped and controlled by the stop control means 105 is predetermined. It is to determine whether or not the display mode has been set, and whether or not the display result of the symbols when the reels 13L, 13M, 13R are stopped is a predetermined winning mode.

(12) Dispensing control means 111
The payout control unit 111 of FIG. 4 gives a predetermined privilege (profit) to the player based on the determination result by the symbol determination unit 110, and the symbol determination unit 110 determines that any winning combination has been won. When the prize is paid out with a medal, the hopper unit 43 is operated after the accumulated number of credit medals reaches the upper limit value (for example, 50 in this embodiment), and the winning combination is dealt with. Profit is given to the player by paying out medals corresponding to the number of payouts. Further, the payout control means 111 increases the number of credit medals by the above-mentioned payout number, instead of the operation of the hopper unit 43, as the medal payout until the accumulated number of credit medals reaches the upper limit value.

  Further, the payout control means 111 validates the pay line of the next game as if the specified number (three) of medals have been inserted when it is determined by the symbol determination means 110 that the re-play combination is won.

(13) Medal control means 112
The medal control unit 112 in FIG. 4 controls the operation of the medal selector 48 to switch between accepting and not accepting medals.

(14) Command transmitting means 113
The command transmitting means 113 of FIG. 4 transmits the command including various information created by the command creating means 108 from the main control board 63 to the sub control board 73 in one way. In this case, the game states such as the general game state (RT0, RT1, RT2) and the bonus game state (BB1), the role lottery result of the role lottery means 103, the symbol determination result by the symbol determination means 110, each reel 13L, 13M, 13R. A command including information indicating the state of the slot machine 1 such as the rotation / stop state of the slot machine, the payout state of medals by the payout control unit 111, and the like is transmitted to the sub control board 73.

  Further, the command transmitting means 113 transmits a command 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 to the sub control board 73. Further, the command transmitting means 113 transmits a command including data indicating that various switches such as the start switch 19 and the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R are operated by the player to the sub control board 73.

(15) Allowable state ratio calculation means 114
The permissible state ratio calculation means 114 calculates the ratio of the period in the AT permissible state in the total game period (total number of games) of the slot machine 1. The permissible state ratio calculating means 114 increments the count value of the total game number counter 655 by 1 each time one game is consumed. Basically, the counter 655 is semi-permanently incremented every time the game is exhausted without being cleared. Further, the permissible state ratio calculation means 114 determines for each game whether or not the game is set to the AT permissible state by the AT permissible state setting means 100c, and the game set to the permissible AT state (1 Each time a game is played, the count value of the total allowable period game number counter 656 is incremented by one. Like the total game number counter 655, the total allowable period game number counter 656 is basically configured not to be cleared. Then, the permissible state ratio calculation means 114 calculates the ratio of the period in which the slot machine 1 is in the AT permissible state, based on the count value of the total game number counter 655 and the count value of the total permissible period game number counter 656. This ratio is stored in the allowable state stay ratio storage area 657. In addition, the permissible state ratio calculation means 114 calculates this ratio in the process from the stop of all reels 13L, 13M, 13R to the end of the game in each game, and the calculated value is in the permissible state. The stay ratio storage area 657 is overwritten and stored. It should be noted that instead of calculating each game, it may be calculated at a predetermined trigger such as when the reset switch 52 is pressed to display the ratio. At this time, when the reset switch 52 is pressed, the ratio is calculated based on the count value stored in the total game number counter 655 and the count value stored in the total allowable period game number counter 656. .. In this way, the permissible state ratio calculating means 114 calculates the permissible state stay ratio at the display timing instead of every game, so that it is possible to avoid an excessive burden in the normal game processing, and the processing efficiency can be improved. It is possible to secure the fairness of the gaming machine while aiming for the realization. Alternatively, the ratio may be calculated each time the total number of games reaches a certain period, and the number of times when the total number of games becomes a certain value or more (for example, 60%) may be stored.

(16) Permissible State Ratio Display Control Unit Further, in this embodiment, the stay ratio in the AT permissible state calculated by the permissible state ratio calculating unit 114 (permissible state stay ratio) displays the number of paid-out medals at the time of winning. It can be displayed by using a payout indicator 46 composed of two 7-segment LEDs. Explaining with reference to FIG. 36 (a) showing the notification display 60, for example, the segments S1, S3, S6, S7, S5, S2 of the first 7-segment LED 60a are turned on and the second 7-segment LED 60b is turned on. When the segments S6, S7 of No. 1 are lit, "01" can be displayed, the segments SS3, S6, S4, S2, S5 of the first 7-segment LED 60a are lit, and the segments S3, S6, S4 of the second 7-segment LED 60b are lit. , S5, S6, and S7 are turned on, "23" can be displayed. As described above, since the two-digit number can be formed by using the two 7-segment LEDs, in this embodiment, the allowable state stay ratio calculated by the allowable state ratio calculating means 114 is displayed using the payout indicator 46.

  The allowable state ratio display control means 115 controls the display of the stay ratio in the AT allowable state by the payout indicator 46. Specifically, the allowable state ratio display control means 115, when the reset switch 52 is pressed with the front door 5 opened, the stay ratio in the AT allowable state stored in the allowable state stay ratio storage area 657 at that timing. Are displayed on the payout display 46. At this time, the allowable state ratio display control means 115 controls the payout indicator 46 so that the stay ratio in the AT allowable state is continuously displayed from the time the reset switch 52 is pressed until it is released. The payout indicator 46 is also used for displaying error information, and the reset switch 52 is also used as a switch for canceling the error when the error occurs. Since the error release ends the display of the error information on the payout indicator 46, the information may be complicated if the stay ratio in the AT allowable state is displayed by operating the reset switch 52 when the error is released. Therefore, the permissible state ratio display control means 115 allows the payout indicator 46 to allow the AT when the reset switch 52 is pressed to release the error and for a certain period (10 seconds in this embodiment) after the error is released. The regulation control that does not display the stay ratio of the state is performed. Therefore, in this case, if the reset switch 52 is pressed again after 10 seconds have elapsed since the reset switch 52 for releasing the error was pressed, the ratio is displayed.

  Further, when the total number of games is small, the calculation result of the stay ratio in the AT permissible state may vary and may be higher than the designed value. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the count value of the total number-of-games counter 655 is less than a certain value, the allowable state ratio display control means 115 allows the AT to be displayed in a display mode different from that when the count value exceeds the certain value. The payout indicator 46 is controlled so that the stay ratio of the state is displayed. In this embodiment, when the total number of games is less than 175,000, the stay ratio in the AT allowable state is displayed in blinking, and when the number of games exceeds 175,000, it is lit up. By doing so, the accuracy of the stay ratio in the AT allowable state displayed on the payout display 46 can be determined, and thus the fairness of the gaming machine can be determined more accurately.

  The fixed period during which the regulation control of the display of the stay ratio in the AT allowable state is performed can be changed as appropriate. For example, the allowable state ratio display control unit 115 regulates the display of the stay ratio in the AT allowable state when the reset switch 52 is operated (pressed) due to the error release, but when the reset switch 52 is pressed next time, It may be controlled to allow the display of the stay ratio in the AT allowable state without waiting 10 seconds. By doing this, the operation for releasing the error and the operation for displaying the allowable state stay ratio can be made independent, so that it is more clearly understood whether the error information is displayed or the allowable state stay ratio is displayed. be able to. Further, the restriction control of the display of the stay ratio in the AT allowable state may be canceled on condition that one game is consumed after the error is canceled. In this way, when the error is released, the allowable state stay ratio cannot be displayed unless the game is played once, so that the display of the payout display 46 can be prevented from being confused and the display content of the payout display 46 can be prevented. The clarity can be improved. In addition, in this embodiment, the allowable state stay ratio is not displayed for a certain period after the error is released, that is, for a certain period after the reset switch 52 is pressed to release the error. In addition, the allowable state stay ratio may not be displayed for a certain period from the timing when the reset switch 52 is pressed and then released. Further, after the reset switch 52 is pressed to release the error, the allowable state stay ratio is not displayed on the payout indicator 46 only after the front door 5 is closed and the game can be played normally. You may do it.

  An error may occur during the display of the allowable state stay ratio, but in this case, the display of the ratio is stopped, and error information is displayed on the pageout display unit 46. Then, after pressing the reset switch 52 to release the error (end of the error display) and then pressing the reset switch 52 again, the allowable state stay ratio is displayed again, or after the error is released, the front door 5 is once opened. It is preferable that after the front door 5 is opened again and the reset switch 52 is pressed after the game is closed and a normal game can be performed, the allowable state stay ratio is displayed.

  Further, the stay ratio in the AT allowable state may be calculated / displayed when, for example, a change process start switch (not shown) for changing or confirming the set value is set to ON. In addition, for example, when a predetermined operation is performed in a state where a demo screen is displayed on the liquid crystal display 27, a state in which a game such as a state where the bet number can be set is not performed, and a predetermined operation is performed, the display is made. May be. As the predetermined operation, a dedicated operation means may be provided, or the existing equipment such as the start switch 19, the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, the bet switches 15, 17 and the settlement switch 23 may also be used. However, it is preferable to use such an operation means provided inside the housing. Since the reset switch 52 and the change process start switch 56 are provided inside the housing, the stay ratio in the AT allowable state is displayed even if the player does not intend, and there is distrust or the set value is estimated. Can be prevented.

  In addition, in this embodiment, the case where the allowable state stay ratio is displayed when the reset switch 52 is pressed has been described. Multiple types of items, such as the ratio of the number of paid-out coins (BB1 payout ratio) and the ratio of the number of coins paid out for all the bonuses that are red 7 big and BAR big (total bonus payout ratio) May be displayed on the payout display 46. In this case, when the reset switch 52 is pressed once, a code indicating the type of item (for example, "0A" when the code of the allowable state stay ratio is "A") is displayed, and then the ratio is displayed. The code display and the ratio display are alternately and repeatedly displayed. When the reset switch 52 is pressed once again in the state where this display is made, the display of the next item is changed. For example, when the code of the BB1 payout ratio is "B", " After "0B" is displayed, the ratio is displayed, and similarly, the code display and the ratio display are alternately and repeatedly displayed. The same applies to the next item, and the type of item to be displayed is changed each time the reset switch 52 is pressed once. Then, when the reset switch 52 is pressed while the last item is displayed, the display returns to the display of the first item.

  In addition, when the display is ended in the state of displaying the items on the way, the front door 5 is closed and the normal game is returned, the order of the display items is reset, and when the display is performed again, the display is started from the first item. You may do it. If the ratio of the items to be displayed has a reference value (for example, ~% or less), after displaying the type of item and the ratio, the reference value (for example, "70" for 70% or less is displayed). ) Is displayed, or one 7-segment LED is used to display the code type, and the other 7-segment LED is used to display the reference value (for example, when the reference value of the allowable state stay ratio is 60% or less “A6”) may be used to simultaneously display the code type and the reference value, and then display the ratio. In this way, it becomes easy to understand the occurrence of fraud and trouble when displaying the ratio.

  Even when the error information is displayed on the payout indicator 46 with this configuration, when the front door 5 is opened and the reset switch 52 is pressed to release the error, the reset switch 52 is pressed again to display the code of the item. It is advisable to display the ratio. Further, after the error is released, once the front door 5 is closed and a state where normal games can be played, when the front door 5 is opened again and the reset switch 52 is pushed, the item code display and the ratio display are performed. You can Further, after the error is released, it may be restricted so that the code display and the ratio display of the items are not performed even if the reset switch 52 is pressed for a certain period.

  If an error occurs while the item code display and the ratio display are being performed on the payout display 46, the display is switched to error information display. Here, if the reset switch 52 is pressed to cancel the error again with the front door 5 open, the error is canceled and the error information display ends, but after the display ends, the reset switch 52 is pressed again. The item code display and the ratio display may be performed again without pressing. In this case, the code display and the ratio display of the item before switching to the display of the error information may be performed, or the code display and the ratio display may be performed by returning to the first item. Also in this case, after the error is released, once the front door 5 is closed and a state where normal games can be played, when the front door 5 is opened again and the reset switch 52 is pressed, the item code display and the ratio display are displayed. May be performed. Further, after the error is released, it may be restricted so that the code display and the ratio display of the items are not performed even if the reset switch 52 is pressed for a certain period.

  Further, in order to push the reset switch 52, it is necessary to open the front door 5, but when the front door 5 is opened, an error display may be displayed on the payout indicator 46. In such a case, when the first reset switch 52 is pressed after the front door 5 is opened, the error is released (error display is ended), and when the second reset switch 52 is pressed, the error is released. The error display ends when the display of the state stay ratio is started or when the reset switch 52 is pressed for the first time, and the allowable state stay ratio is maintained even after the reset switch 52 is pressed for a certain period (for example, 10 seconds) thereafter. Alternatively, the allowable state stay ratio may be displayed by pressing the reset switch 52 after 10 seconds have elapsed.

  Further, instead of the payout display, for example, a credit display 45 or a set value display (not shown) that displays the set value may be used. Further, for example, a dedicated display device may be separately provided on the main control board 63 and the display may be performed on the display device. Since the main control board 63 is covered with the board case and is difficult to be accessed from the outside, it is possible to prevent illegal display of the ratio by tampering with the display. Further, it may be possible to calculate / display even while playing a game. When the credit indicator 45 is used to display the stay ratio in the AT allowed state, the credit changes after the display of the stay ratio in the AT allowed state when the credits are inserted or the bet number can be set during the display. May change the display, and give the player a sense of distrust. Therefore, in such a case, it is preferable to control so that the insertion of medals is prohibited (the bet number setting using credits and settlement are not possible) while the stay ratio is displayed.

(Sub control board)
Next, the sub control board 73 will be described in detail. The sub-control board 73 of FIG. 4 receives a command transmitted from the main control board 63, and performs an effect according to the operation or state of the main control board 63. The sub-control board 73 has various functions realized by executing a program stored in the memory 75 (see FIG. 3) and various functions realized by controlling hardware.

(1) Command receiving means 200
The command receiving means 200 of FIG. 4 receives a command including various information transmitted by the command transmitting means 113 of the main control board 63. When the command receiving means 200 receives a command transmitted from the main control board 63, the command receiving means 200 notifies each function of the sub control board 73 according to the type of the command.

(2) Production content determination means 201
The effect content determination means 201 of FIG. 4 is for determining the effect content in accordance with the command received by the command reception means 200. Specifically, a moving image to be displayed on the liquid crystal display 27 is determined from the effect patterns preset in accordance with the progress of the game and the result of the lottery of the lottery means 103, and the speakers 31L and 31R are used. Effects such as music to be played and voice to be played, and light sources of the upper lamp unit 33 and the lower lamp units 37L and 37R blinking all at once or individually are determined. In this case, the effect content determination means 201 determines the effect content to execute the notification effect corresponding to the notification mode of the notification display 60.

  Then, the effect content determination unit 201 transmits a signal including data regarding the determined effect content to the display control unit 202 and the sound control unit 203.

(3) Display control means 202
The display control unit 202 of FIG. 4 displays a moving image (image) on the liquid crystal display 27, or the upper lamp unit 33 or the lower lamp unit 37L based on the data included in the signal transmitted from the effect content determination unit 201. , 37R and the like, such as blinking the light sources simultaneously or individually.

(4) Voice control means 203
The voice control unit 203 of FIG. 4 controls the music, the voice, and the like from the speakers 31L and 31R based on the data included in the signal transmitted from the effect content determination unit 201. ..

(Specific example of notification effect)
Next, an example of the notification effect controlled by the sub control board 73 and the notification mode example of the notification indicator 60 controlled by the main control board 63 will be specifically described.

  As shown in FIG. 36 (a), the notification indicator 60 is composed of first and second 7-segment LEDs 60a and 60b and a notification lamp 60c, and for example, does not notify the pressing order. In the case of the notification mode, all the segments S1 to S7 are not turned on in each of the 7-segment LEDs 60a and 60b (report type “0”).

  Specifically, when the notification mode determining unit 107 determines to notify in the notification mode of the notification type “0” on the notification display 60, the command receiving unit 200 determines the command (that can specify the notification type). "0" command) has been received. In this case, the effect content determination means 201 does not provide an effect related to the suggestion of the pushing order, but an effect corresponding to an internal winning combination (bonus combination, small combination, or re-game combination) specified from the information transmitted as a command. Decide on the performance. As an example of the effect determined here, for example, when the role name “normal replay” can be specified from the transmitted command, it is suggested that the winning combination group with the identification number including the winning combination is internally won. Perform effects such as effects (effects in which the background or specific locations are displayed in blue).

  Further, for example, as shown by ● in FIG. 36 (b) (the unlit state is shown by ◯), the AT allowable state setting means 100c lights the notification lamp 60c, so that the slot machine 1 is set in the AT allowable state. It is possible to inform that there is.

  By the way, the 1st 7 segment LED60a is comprised so that if stop operation of stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R is performed, it will change to the alerting | reporting mode which suggests the next stop operation. On the other hand, the second 7-segment LED 60b is for specifying the notification type, and is configured to continue the same notification from the notification to the final stop. Further, in principle, lighting of the segment S1 of the first 7-segment LED 60a indicates that the left reel 13L is stopped, lighting of the segment S3 indicates that the middle reel 13M is stopped, and lighting of the segment S6 indicates that of the right reel 13R. Suggests a stop.

-Promotion Replay As shown in Fig. 30 (a), "Promotion Replay 1" to "Promotion Replay 6" are all replayed more than normal RT (RT1) when the symbol combination group "U Lip" stops on the winning line. Since it shifts to the advantageous RT (RT2) in which the winning probability of the gaming combination is set to be high, it is a re-gaming combination in which the degree of advantage varies depending on the pushing order.

  As shown in FIG. 30 (b), the notification display 60 displays the pushing order (left → middle → right) that is advantageous to the player when the “promotion replay 1” in the AT has an internal winning identification number. The player is notified in the notification mode of the notification type “1” that is suggested. In this case, as shown in FIG. 36B, in the case of the notification type “1”, the notification display 60 displays the segment S1 of the first 7-segment LED 60a from the start switch 19 being ON to the first stop. Only the segment S1 of the second 7-segment LED 60b is illuminated while indicating that the left reel 13L is stopped. The lighting of the segment S1 of the second 7-segment LED 60b notifies that the notification type is "1". Subsequently, during the first stop to the second stop, the lighting of the first 7-segment LED 60a is changed to the segment S3, which suggests the stop of the middle reel 13M. During the second stop to the third stop, the lighting of the first 7-segment LED 60a is changed to the segment S6, which suggests the stop of the right reel 13R. After the third stop, all the segments S1 to S7 of the first and second 7-segment LEDs 60a and 60b are turned off. By doing so, it is possible to notify the player that it is advantageous to operate in the pushing order (left → middle → right).

  When the notification mode determination unit 107 determines that the notification display 60 is to be notified in the notification mode of the notification type “1”, the command reception unit 200 is a command that can specify the notification type (command of “1”). ) Is being received. In this case, the effect content determination means 201, for example, as shown in FIG. 30 (b), displays an image such as "123" on the liquid crystal display 27 and pushes the player in the order of pressing (left → middle → right). Is determined as the effect content for executing the notification effect (operation order suggestion effect) for notifying that the pressing order is advantageous. By doing so, it is possible to link the notification content of the notification display device 60 and the notification content of the liquid crystal display device 27.

  In addition, the notification indicator 60 indicates a notification type “2” that suggests a push order (left → right → middle) that is advantageous to the player when the “promotion replay 2” in the AT has the identification number of the internal winning. The player is notified in this notification mode. In this case, as shown in FIG. 36 (c), the segment S1 of the first 7-segment LED 60a is turned on during the period from ON of the start switch 19 to the first stop, and during the period from the first stop to the second stop. The segment S6 of the first 7-segment LED 60a is turned on, and the segment S3 of the first 7-segment LED 60a is turned on during the second stop to the third stop. Regarding the second 7-segment LED 60b, the segment S3 is lit during the ON period of the start switch 19 to the third stop to inform that the notification type is "2". At this time, since the command receiving means 200 has received the command (the command of “2”) that can specify the notification type “2”, the effect content determining means 201, for example, as shown in FIG. , Displaying an image such as "132" on the liquid crystal display 27 and notifying the player that the pressing order (left → right → middle) is an advantageous pressing order is determined as the content of the execution effect. ..

  Further, the notification indicator 60 indicates a notification type “3” that suggests a pressing order (middle → left → right) that is advantageous to the player when the “promotion replay 3” in the AT has the identification number of the internal winning. The player is notified in this notification mode. In this case, as shown in FIG. 36 (d), the segment S3 of the first 7-segment LED 60a is turned on during the period from ON of the start switch 19 to the first stop, and during the period from the first stop to the second stop. The segment S1 of the first 7-segment LED 60a is turned on, and the segment S6 of the first 7-segment LED 60a is turned on during the second stop to the third stop. As for the second 7-segment LED 60b, the segment S6 is lit during the ON period of the start switch 19 to the third stop to inform that the notification type is "3". At this time, since the command receiving means 200 has received the command (the command of “3”) that can specify the notification type “3”, the effect content determining means 201, for example, as shown in FIG. , A liquid crystal display 27 displays an image such as “213” to inform the player that the pressing order (middle → left → right) is an advantageous pressing order, and determines the content of the execution effect. .

  In addition, when the notification display 60 is the identification number of the internal winning in the “promotion replay 4” in AT, the notification type “4” of the notification type “4” suggesting the pushing order (middle → right → left) that is advantageous to the player is displayed. The player is notified in the notification mode. In this case, as shown in FIG. 37A, the segment S3 of the first 7-segment LED 60a is turned on during the period from ON of the start switch 19 to the first stop, and during the period from the first stop to the second stop. The segment S6 of the first 7-segment LED 60a is turned on, and the segment S1 of the first 7-segment LED 60a is turned on during the second stop to the third stop. As for the second 7-segment LED 60b, the segment S4 is lit during the ON period of the start switch 19 to the third stop to inform that the notification type is "4". At this time, since the command receiving means 200 has received the command (the command of “4”) that can specify the notification type “4”, the effect content determining means 201, for example, as shown in FIG. , An image such as “312” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 27 to inform the player that the pressing order (middle → left → right) is an advantageous pressing order, and the notification effect is determined as the content of the execution effect. ..

  In addition, the notification indicator 60 indicates a notification type “5” that suggests a push order (right → left → middle) that is advantageous to the player when the “promotion replay 5” in the AT has the internal winning identification number. The player is notified in this notification mode. In this case, as shown in FIG. 37 (b), the segment S6 of the first 7-segment LED 60a is turned on during the period from ON of the start switch 19 to the first stop, and during the period from the first stop to the second stop. The segment S1 of the first 7-segment LED 60a is turned on, and the segment S3 of the first 7-segment LED 60a is turned on during the second stop to the third stop. Regarding the second 7-segment LED 60b, the segment S2 is turned on during the period from ON of the start switch 19 to the third stop to inform that the notification type is "5". At this time, since the command receiving means 200 has received the command (the command of “5”) that can specify the notification type “5”, the effect content determining means 201, for example, as shown in FIG. , An image such as “231” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 27 to inform the player that the pressing order (right → left → middle) is an advantageous pressing order, and the notification effect is determined as the content of the execution effect. ..

  In addition, the notification indicator 60 indicates a notification type “6” that suggests a push order (right → middle → left) that is advantageous to the player when the “promotion replay 6” in the AT has the identification number of the internal winning. The player is notified in this notification mode. In this case, as shown in FIG. 37 (c), the segment S6 of the first 7-segment LED 60a is turned on during the period from ON of the start switch 19 to the first stop, and during the period from the first stop to the second stop. The segment S3 of the first 7-segment LED 60a is turned on, and the segment S1 of the first 7-segment LED 60a is turned on during the second stop to the third stop. Regarding the second 7-segment LED 60b, the segment S7 is lit during the ON period of the start switch 19 to the third stop to inform that the notification type is "6". At this time, since the command receiving means 200 has received the command (the command of “6”) that can specify the notification type “6”, the effect content determining means 201, for example, as shown in FIG. , An image such as “321” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 27 to inform the player that the pressing order (right → middle → left) is an advantageous pressing order, and the notification effect is determined as the content of the execution effect. .. It should be noted that when the operation different from the pressing order is performed despite the notification of the pressing order, the lighting of the first and second 7-segment LEDs 60a and 60b may be stopped.

31. Falling replay As shown in FIG. 31 (a), in "falling replay 1" to "falling replay 3", when the symbol combination group "D Lip" is stopped on the winning line, the gaming state is advantageous RT (RT2). When the symbol combination group “N Lip” stops at the winning line, the game state is maintained at the advantageous RT (RT2), and therefore the re-play role has different advantages depending on the pushing order. .

  As shown in FIG. 31 (b), the notification indicator 60 is one of the pressing sequences that is advantageous to the player when the “falling replay 1” in the AT has an internal winning identification number. The player is notified in the notification mode of the notification type “1” that suggests “order (left → middle → right)” (see FIG. 36 (b)).

  When the notification mode determination unit 107 determines that the notification display 60 is to be notified in the notification mode of the notification type “1”, the command reception unit 200 is a command that can specify the notification type (command of “1”). ) Is being received. In this case, the effect content determination means 201, for example, as shown in FIG. 31 (b), displays an image such as "123" on the liquid crystal display 27 and pushes the player in the order of pressing (left → middle → right). Is determined to be the effect content for executing the notification effect for notifying that the pressing order is advantageous.

  In addition, the notification display 60 is one of the push orders that is advantageous to the player when the “falling replay 2” in the AT is the identification number of the internal winning, “push order (middle → left → right). Is notified to the player in the notification mode of the notification type "3" (see FIG. 36 (d)).

  When the notification mode determining unit 107 determines to notify in the notification mode of the notification type “3” on the notification display 60, the command receiving unit 200 determines a command (command of “3”) that can specify the notification type. ) Is being received. In this case, the effect content determination means 201, for example, as shown in FIG. 31 (b), displays an image such as "213" on the liquid crystal display 27 and pushes it to the player (middle → left → right). Is determined to be the effect content for executing the notification effect for notifying that the pressing order is advantageous.

  In addition, the notification display 60 is one of the pushing order that is advantageous to the player when the "falling replay 3" in the AT is the identification number of the internal winning, "pushing order (right → left → middle). Is notified to the player in the notification mode of the notification type "5" (see FIG. 37 (b)).

  When the notification mode determination unit 107 determines to notify in the notification mode of the notification type “5” on the notification display device 60, the command reception unit 200 commands the command (“5” command) that can specify the notification type. ) Is being received. In this case, the effect content determination means 201, for example, as shown in FIG. 31 (b), displays an image such as “231” on the liquid crystal display 27 and pushes the player in the order of pressing (right → left → middle). Is determined to be the effect content for executing the notification effect for notifying that the pressing order is advantageous.

  It should be noted that in each of the "falling replay 1" to the "falling replay 3", the advantageous pushing order is determined only by the first stop. .. In this case, the notification display 60 displays the first stop, which is advantageous to the player, for example, as shown in FIG. 31C, when the “falling replay 1” in the AT has the identification number of the internal winning. The player is notified in the notification mode of the notification type “α” that suggests that the reel is the left reel 13L. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 38 (a), the notification display 60 lights only the segment S 1 of the first 7-segment LED 60 a from the left to the left until the start switch 19 is turned on to the first stop. It is suggested that the reel 13L be stopped and the segment S1 and the segment S2 of the second 7-segment LED 60b are turned on. The lighting of the segments S1 and S2 of the second 7-segment LED 60b notifies that the notification type is “α”. Subsequently, during the first stop to the third stop, all the segments S1 to S7 of the first 7-segment LED 60a are turned off, which suggests that the pressing order of the remaining reels 13M and 13R does not matter. .. By doing so, it is possible to inform the player that it is advantageous to operate the stop switch 21L so that the first stop is the left reel 13L.

  When the notification mode determining unit 107 determines to notify in the notification mode of the notification type “α” on the notification display 60, the command receiving unit 200 determines the command (for example, “α”) that can specify the notification type. Command) has been received. In this case, the effect content determination means 201, for example, as shown in FIG. 31 (c), displays an image such as "1--" on the liquid crystal display 27 to give the player a first stop of the left reel 13. It is determined as the content of the effect to execute the informing effect informing that the pressing order is advantageous to do.

  The same notification is given in the case of the identification numbers of the internal winnings in "falling replay 2" and "falling replay 3". In this case, the notification type of the notification display device 60 when the identification number of the internal winning is "falling replay 2" is "β", and the first stop of the middle reel 13M is the advantageous push order. To inform. Further, as shown in FIG. 31 (c), the liquid crystal display 27 displays an image such as "-1" so that the player can stop the middle reel 13M for the first time. Notify that. In the case of the winning combination “falling replay 3”, the notification type of the notification display device 60 is set to “γ”, and it is notified that the first stop of the right reel 13R is an advantageous pressing order. Further, as shown in FIG. 31 (c), the liquid crystal display 27 displays an image such as "-1" to give the player a first stop of the right reel 13R. Notify to that effect.

-BAR matching replay, fake replay As shown in FIG. 32 (a), "BAR matching replay" and "fake replay" that can be won only during the bonus game state (BB1) are both left reel 13L with the first stop. Aiming at the design "BAR" and aiming at the design "BAR" on the middle reel 13M at the second stop, the design "BAR" is tempted to the lower right (obliquely descending), but at the final stop, the design "BAR" was targeted. At this time, it depends on whether or not the symbols “BAR” are aligned on the right side. In addition, when the internal winning of "BAR matching replay" is allowed in the AT allowable state, regardless of whether or not the symbols "BAR" are aligned downward to the right by pushing, the number of games to be added by the adding means 100e is increased during the period, and the lottery is performed. The number of continuous games during the AT period is increased by the number of games determined by lottery (see FIG. 29). That is, it is a winning combination in which the degree of advantage of the player does not change depending on the pressing order.

  In such a case, if the player is guided from the left to aim at the symbol "BAR", it is possible to give the player a thrilling sense of whether or not the right to play the AT game is granted, so that the interest of the player is enhanced. You can Therefore, when the internal display of the "BAR complete replay" or "fake replay" in the bonus game state (BB1), the notification display 60 guides the player to aim at the symbol "BAR" from the left. The player is notified in the "7" notification mode (see FIG. 32 (b)). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 37 (d), the notification display 60 lights the segment S1 and the segment S2 of the first 7-segment LED 60a during the period from ON of the start switch 19 to the first stop. The left reel 13L is suggested to be stopped and the segments S1 and S3 of the second 7-segment LED 60b are turned on. The segment S2 of the first 7-segment LED 60a at this time indicates "aiming at the symbol" BAR "". The second 7-segment LED 60b maintains the lighting of the segment S1 and the segment S3 from the first stop to the third stop. The lighting of the segments S1 and S3 of the second 7-segment LED 60b informs that the notification type is "7". Subsequently, during the first stop to the third stop, for example, the lighting of the first 7-segment LED 60a is changed to the segment S2, the segment S3, and the segment S6. In this case, since the reels for the second and third stops may be either, both the segment S3 and the segment S6 are lit on the notification display 60, and it is possible to further aim at the symbol "BAR" in the segment S2. I understand. That is, the recommended operation reel and operation timing are notified as in the case of the first stop.

  When the notification mode determining unit 107 determines that the notification display 60 is to be notified in the notification mode of the notification type “7”, the command receiving unit 200 is a command (command of “7”) that can specify the notification type. ) Is being received. In this case, the effect content determination means 201 displays an image such as "Aim at BAR from the left !!" on the liquid crystal display 27 and displays the image to the player in the order of pressing (as shown in FIG. 32B). The effect contents for executing the effect of inducing to aim at the symbol "BAR" are determined by (left → middle → right).

・ Pressing order bell As shown in FIG. 33 (a), when the combination names “left middle right correct answer bell 1” to “left middle right correct answer bell 4” are all in the symbol combination group “T bell” on the pay line. Since the payout “9 coins”, which is higher than those of the other symbol combination groups, can be obtained, it is a small winning combination (specific winning combination) having different degrees of advantage depending on the pressing order.

  As shown in FIG. 33 (b), the notification display 60 indicates to the player when the “left middle right correct answer bell 1” to “left middle right correct answer bell 4” in the AT have the internal winning identification number. The player is notified in the notification mode of the notification type “1” that suggests an advantageous push order (left → middle → right) (see FIG. 36 (b)).

  When the notification mode determination unit 107 determines that the notification display 60 is to be notified in the notification mode of the notification type “1”, the command reception unit 200 is a command that can specify the notification type (command of “1”). ) Is being received. In this case, the effect content determination means 201 displays an image such as "123" on the liquid crystal display 27 to inform the player that the pressing order (left → middle → right) is an advantageous pressing order. The notification content to be executed is determined as the content of the effect to be executed (see "Sub notification at AT" in FIG. 33 (b)).

  "Left and right middle correct answer bell 1" to "Left and right middle correct answer bell 4", "Middle left and right correct answer bell 1" to "Middle left and right correct answer bell 4", "Middle right left correct answer bell 1" to "Middle right left correct answer bell 4" , "Right left middle correct answer bell 1" to "Right left middle correct answer bell 4", "Right middle left correct answer bell 1" to "Right middle left correct answer bell 4" have the same notification manner when the internal winning identification numbers are used. For example, when the identification number of the internal winning is “middle left / right correct answer bell 1” to “middle left / right correct answer bell 4” in the AT, the notification type “indicating the push order (middle → left → right) that is advantageous to the player” The player is notified in the notification mode of "3" (see FIG. 36 (d)).

  When the notification mode determining unit 107 determines to notify in the notification mode of the notification type “3” on the notification display 60, the command receiving unit 200 determines a command (command of “3”) that can specify the notification type. ) Is being received. In this case, the effect content determination means 201 displays an image such as “213” on the liquid crystal display 27 to inform the player that the pressing order (middle → left → right) is an advantageous pressing order. The content of the effect for executing the notification effect is determined.

-Dummy notification in normal replay during RT3 The notification mode determination means 107 is a role lottery in a state in which the game state is AT during bonus internal winning (RT3) and before notification of bonus winning. If the result is “normal replay” (identification numbers 2 and 3), i) do not notify the pressing order, ii) notify information that can specify the pressing order (left → middle → right), iii) press One of four notification modes of notifying information that can specify the order (middle → left → right), iv) notifying information that can specify the pressing order (right → left → middle) is selected by lottery. If it is determined (see FIG. 34 (b)) and in this lottery any of the notification modes of ii) to iv) is determined to be the notification mode of the notification display device 60, the notification display device 60 displays the notification Notification type “1” for notifying information that can specify the pressing order of the mode or Notification of "3" or "5" is performed.

  Specifically, when the notification mode determining means 107 determines the notification mode of ii), the notification display 60 displays the pressing order (left → middle → right) as shown in FIG. 34 (c). The player is notified in the notification mode of the notification type “1” that is suggested (see FIG. 36B). Further, when the notification mode determining unit 107 determines the notification mode of iii), the notification display 60 indicates a notification indicating the pressing order (middle → left → right), as shown in FIG. 34 (c). The player is notified in the notification mode of type "3" (see FIG. 36 (d)). Further, when the notification mode determining unit 107 determines the notification mode of iv), the notification display 60 indicates a notification indicating the pressing order (right → left → middle), as shown in FIG. 34 (c). The player is notified in the notification mode of type "5" (see FIG. 37 (b)).

  When the notification mode determining unit 107 determines to notify in the notification mode of the notification type “1”, “3”, or “5” on the notification display 60, the command receiving unit 200 identifies the notification type. A possible command (a command of "1" or "3" or "5") has been received. In this case, the effect content determination means 201 displays, for example, on the liquid crystal display 27, an image capable of specifying the pressing order determined by the notification mode determination means 107, as shown in FIG. The effect for notifying the order is determined as the content of the execution effect.

-Pressing order insensitive bell The notification mode determination means 107 is pressed when the gaming state is in the AT state of advantageous RT (RT2) and the winning combination lottery result is "the pressing order insensitive bell" is the internal winning identification number. One push order from 5 types: "Left → Middle → Right", "Left → Right → Middle", "Middle → Left → Right", "Middle → Right → Left", "Right → Left → Middle" Is determined by lottery (see FIG. 35 (a)), and a notification mode in which information that can specify the determined pressing order is notified on the notification display 60 is determined (notification type “1 to 5” in FIG. 18). reference).

  For example, as shown in FIG. 35B, when the notification mode determining unit 107 determines that the pressing order is “left → middle → right”, the notification display 60 displays the pressing order (left → middle → right). The player is notified in the notification mode of the notification type “1” that suggests “(1)” (see FIG. 36B). The same applies when the other pressing order is determined.

  When the notification mode determination unit 107 determines that the notification display 60 is to be notified in the notification mode of the notification type “1”, the command reception unit 200 is a command that can specify the notification type (command of “1”). ) Is being received. In this case, the effect content determination means 201 displays an image such as “123” on the liquid crystal display 27 to notify the pressing order (left → middle → right), for example, as shown in FIG. Determine the content of the performance to execute the performance. The same applies when the other pressing order is determined.

-Notify only the first stop As another example of the notification effect for notifying the pressing order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, for example, while notifying a part of the pressing order, let the player select the remaining pressing order. You may comprise. For example, when the first stop is the left reel 13L and the player selects the second and third stop reels 13M and 13R, as shown in FIG. 38 (b), from the ON of the start switch 19 to the first stop. During the period, the segment S1 of the first 7-segment LED 60a is turned on, and the segments S1 and S7 of the second 7-segment LED 60b are turned on. Since the segment S1 of the first 7-segment LED 60a corresponds to the left reel 13L, it can be suggested that the reel to be stopped first is the left reel 13L. In addition, during the period from the first stop to the third stop and during the period from ON of the start switch 19 to the third stop, the segment S3 and the segment S6 of the 7-segment LED 60a are turned on. The segment S3 of the first 7-segment LED 60a corresponds to the middle reel 13M, and the segment S6 corresponds to the right reel 13R. Therefore, by turning on both of these segments, the middle reel 13M and the right reel are stopped at the second and third stops. The pressing order of the reel 13R can be selected. The lighting of the segment S1 and the segment S7 of the second 7-segment LED 60b notifies that the notification type according to the notification mode is “z”.

  When the notification mode determination unit 107 determines that the notification display 60 is to be notified in the notification mode of the notification type “z”, the command reception unit 200 is a command that can specify the notification type (command of “z”). ) To receive. In this case, the effect content determination means 201, for example, displays an image such as "1 ??" on the liquid crystal display 27 to guide the player to select the remaining pressing order with the left reel 13L as the first stop reel. The effect contents to be executed are decided.

-Pressing of 7 As another example of notification, for example, notification of guiding to press 7 may be given. In this case, as shown in FIG. 38 (c), while the start switch 19 is turned on to the third stop, the segments S1, S3, S5 and S6 of the first 7-segment LED 60a are turned on and The segment S1 and the segment S5 of the second 7-segment LED 60b are turned on. At this time, since the pressing order is arbitrary, the segment S1, the segment S3, and the segment S6 of the first 7-segment LED 60a are turned on. Further, the segment S5 of the first 7-segment LED 60a means "aim for 7". The lighting of the segments S1 and S5 of the second 7-segment LED 60b notifies that the notification type according to the notification mode is “y”.

  When the notification mode determining unit 107 determines to notify in the notification mode of the notification type “y” on the notification display 60, the command receiving unit 200 determines a command (command of “y”) that can specify the notification type. ) To receive. In this case, the effect content determination means 201 displays an image such as "Aim for 7 !!" on the liquid crystal display 27 and executes an effect for prompting the player to press the symbol "red 7". Determine the content.

-Rare Small Role Next, a notification mode of the notification display 60 and the liquid crystal display 27 when the internal numbers are won for the identification numbers including "cherry", "watermelon A" and "watermelon B" will be described. As described above, the “cherry”, “watermelon A”, and “watermelon B” may be simultaneously elected with the bonus combination (“red 7 big” / “BAR big”). When the internal number is selected for the identification number including the winning combination, the notification display unit 60 performs the notification in the same notification mode in both the case of single winning and the case of simultaneous winning.

  For example, an internal winning of any one of “cherry”, “(AT allowance +) (AT right +) red 7 big + cherry” and “(AT allowance + AT right +) BAR big + cherry” is performed, and the notification mode determining means 107 is selected. When the notification type “1” is determined by the notification indicator 60, the notification display 60 lights only the segment S1 of the first 7-segment LED 60a from the ON state of the start switch 19 to the first stop to turn on the left reel 13L. While indicating the stop, only the segment S1 of the second 7-segment LED 60b is turned on. During the period from the first stop to the second stop, the lighting of the first 7-segment LED 60a is changed to the segment S3, which indicates that the middle reel 13M is stopped. During the second stop to the third stop, the lighting of the first 7-segment LED 60a is changed to the segment S6, which suggests the stop of the right reel 13R. After the third stop, all the segments S1 to S7 of the first and second 7-segment LEDs 60a and 60b are turned off. That is, when the same notification type is determined by the notification mode determination unit 107, even if the combination lottery result of the combination lottery unit 103 is different, the notification of the notification display device 60 is performed in the same notification mode.

-Cherry "(AT allowance +) (AT right +) cherry", "(AT allowance +) (AT right +) Red 7 big + cherry" and "(AT allowance + AT right +) BAR big + cherry" When the internal winning is selected, the command receiving unit 200 receives a command (a command of “$ 05”) that can specify the internal winning transmission group type (see FIGS. 16 to 20). In this case, the effect content determination means 201 displays an image such as "Chance!" On the liquid crystal display 27 during the period from ON of the start switch 19 to the second stop, and displays the image to the player such as cherry or watermelon. The effect contents for executing the suggestion effect suggesting that the player is internally elected to the so-called rare role are decided. Even if you internally win "Red 7 Big + Cherry" or "BAR Big + Cherry", you will not be notified that you have internally won the bonus role ("Red 7 Big", "BAR Big") in the game. Only the internal winning of the role of rare is notified to. In this way, even in the case of a single winning of the rare role, it is possible to give the player the expectation that the player may have won the bonus role. Further, the image of “chance !!” displayed on the liquid crystal display 27 may be displayed at any timing from the lever ON to the third stop.

-Watermelon Next, for example, "(AT allowance +) (AT right +) watermelon A", "(AT right +) red 7 big + watermelon A", "BAR big + watermelon A", "(AT allowance +)" (AT right +) watermelon B "or" AT allowance + AT right + red 7 big + watermelon B "is internally elected, and when the notification type determining unit 107 determines the notification type" 3 ", the notification display is displayed. The device 60 turns on the segment S3 of the first 7-segment LED 60a while the start switch 19 is ON to the first stop, and turns on the segment S1 of the first 7-segment LED 60a during the first stop-second stop. Then, the segment S6 of the first 7-segment LED 60a is turned on during the second stop to the third stop. As for the second 7-segment LED 60b, the segment S6 is turned on during the period from ON of the start switch 19 to the third stop to inform that the notification type is "3". When notified in this way, the player is prompted to operate the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R in the order of pressing (middle → left → right).

  In addition, "(AT allowance +) (AT right +) watermelon A", "AT right + red 7 big + watermelon A", "BAR big + watermelon A", "(AT allowance +) (AT right +) watermelon B" , And “AT allowed + AT right + red 7 big + watermelon B”, the command receiving means 200 can specify the internal winning transmission group type (see FIGS. 16 to 20). (Watermelon A and watermelon B both receive "$ 06" command). In this case, the effect content determination means 201 displays an image such as "Chance!" On the liquid crystal display 27 during the period from ON of the start switch 19 to the second stop, and displays "Watermelon A" to the player. Alternatively, the content of the effect to execute the suggestive effect suggesting that the player has internally won "Watermelon B" is determined. In the case of the identification number internally won as a simultaneous winning combination of "AT right + red 7 big + watermelon A", "BAR big + watermelon A" and "AT allowance + AT right + red 7 big + watermelon B", In the game, the internal winning of the bonus combination (“red 7 big”, “BAR big”) is not notified, but only the internal winning of “Watermelon A” or “Watermelon B” is notified. By doing so, even in the case of a single winning of “Watermelon A” or “Watermelon B”, it is possible to give the player the expectation that the player may have won the bonus role. The image of "chance !!" displayed on the liquid crystal display 27 may be displayed at any timing from the lever ON to the third stop. Regarding the suggestive effect that suggests the decision result of the role lottery means 103, not only the effect in which the type of the winning combination is completely identified, like the effect at the time of internal winning, is identified by the identification number including “cherry”. , "Specific combination", an effect in which the expectation of the internal winning of the "specific combination" is improved by the occurrence of the corresponding effect, compared to when there is no effect.

-Bonus notification The effect content determination means 201 is an effect that informs that the bonus combination has been internally won at a predetermined trigger (for example, after four games of the winning game of the bonus combination) when the internal bonus is being won (RT3). A certain bonus final effect is determined as the content of the effect effect. In this case, for example, an image such as "bonus confirmed !!" is displayed on the liquid crystal display 27 to notify the internal winning of the bonus combination. Further, when the effect content determining means 201 internally wins the role name “watermelon A” or “watermelon B” in the game after the bonus finalizing effect during bonus internal winning (RT3) is performed, for example, The effect of displaying characters such as "watermelon" in a predetermined area of the liquid crystal display 27 is determined as the content of the execution effect. At this time, the notification display device 60 performs notification in a notification mode in which the pressing order (middle → left → right) or the pressing order (middle → right → left) can be specified (the notification type “3” or “in FIG. 19”). 4 ”). By doing so, it is understood that the player has internally won the role name “Watermelon A” or “Watermelon B” during the bonus internal winning (RT3).

(About operation after the limiter condition is satisfied)
Next, with reference to FIG. 39, the timing at which the AT acceptable win is possible after the limiter condition is satisfied will be described.

(1) In the case where it is possible to win the AT permissible after moving to RT1 or RT0 As shown in FIG. 39 (a), when the limiter condition (1500 games) is satisfied, the AT non-permission state is set and (“01h” → "00h"), and the limiter flag is set to ON ("0" → "1"). At this time, while the limiter flag is set to ON, even if the lottery value which is the AT allowable win is obtained, the AT allowable win is not won. Then, the game state is set to RT1 by winning the falling symbol, and the limiter flag is set to OFF (“1” → “0”) so that the AT is allowed to win.

  It should be noted that while the limiter flag is set to ON, by changing the lighting state of the notification lamp 60c, such as the color and the brightness, it is notified that the normal period is in the waiting state.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 39B, when the number of remaining games in the AT period becomes 0 and the AT execution right ends and the AT is not permitted (“01h” → “00h”), The lighting state of the notification lamp 60c is maintained until the winning state is won by the falling symbol and the game state is set to RT1. At this time, if the AT acceptable win is achieved while the lighting state of the notification lamp 60c is maintained, the AT period game number is added to return to the AT acceptable state ("00h" → "01h"). It is configured.

  When the number of remaining games in the AT period becomes 0 and the AT execution right ends and the AT is not permitted (“01h” → “00h”), the limiter condition is satisfied as in the case where the limiter condition is satisfied. While the flag is set to ON (“0” → “1”) and the limiter flag is set to ON, even if the lottery value which is the AT allowable win is won, the AT allowable win is not configured. You may.

(2) When the AT Allowed Winning is Possible from the Next Game After the Limiter Condition is Satisfied As shown in FIG. 39 (c), when the limiter condition (1500 games) is satisfied and the AT is not allowed (“”). 01h "→" 00h "), the notification lamp 60c can be turned off, and after the notification lamp 60c is turned off, the AT acceptable win can be made. In this way, even if the AT is allowed to be won in RT2, the lottery value for the AT allowed to be won is uniformly set regardless of the gaming state like the bonus hand, so that fairness can be secured. .

  In addition, when the AT allowable win is selected during RT2, RT2 may be maintained and the number of AT period games may be started, or RT2 → RT1 may be temporarily changed, and then RT2 may be changed again, and then the AT period may be changed. The counting of the number of games may be started. Further, in this case, the counting of the duration of the AT allowable state for judging the limiter condition is configured to start from zero.

  Next, an example of the operation of the slot machine 1 will be described with reference to FIGS.

1. Main Control Process The main control process of FIG. 40 is a process executed by the main CPU 61 of the main control board 63.

  First, the slot machine 1 performs a game start waiting process including a setting process for enabling the game start (step S1). When the start switch 19 is turned ON in the state where the game start is set in the game start waiting process, the role lottery means 103 performs the role lottery (including the AT allowable lottery) and the reels 13L, 13M, The rotation of 13R is started (step S3). When each stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R is operated, stop control means 105 controls the stop of each reel 13L, 13M, 13R (step S4), and when all reels 13L, 13M, 13R stop, the symbol determining means. The winning determination of the winning combination is made by 110 (step S5). As a result of the winning determination, when the winning combination is won, a medal payout process for paying out the medals set for the winning combination is performed (step S6). When the medal payout process ends, various game number updating processes described below are executed to end one game (step S7).

2. Game Start Waiting Process The game start waiting process shown in FIGS. 41 and 42 is a process executed by the main CPU of the main control board 63.

  First, a main determination is made as to whether or not the number of inserted medals has reached a specified number (3 in this embodiment) or more (step S100), and when the inserted number of medals has reached the specified number (YES in step S100), A game start enable setting is made to permit the game start (step S101), and if the number of inserted medals has not reached the specified number (NO in step S100), a game start disabling setting not permitting the game start is made (step S102). ). For this setting, for example, a storage area for a game start enable flag is provided in the RAM 65 of the main control board 63. When this flag is turned ON, the game start enable setting can be made, and when it is OFF, the game start disable setting can be made.

  When the game start enable setting or the game start disable setting is performed, it is determined whether or not the previous game has won the re-play combination, that is, whether or not the next game is a game that does not require medal insertion (step S103). If the player has not won a replay combination in the previous game (NO in step S103), it is determined whether or not there are no inserted medals (step S104). If there is no inserted medal (YES in step S104), the game is played. It is determined whether 30 seconds have elapsed since the start of waiting for start (step S105). If 30 seconds have elapsed since the start of the game start waiting (YES in step S105), the payout indicator 46 and the pay-in indicator lamp (not shown) are turned off. After turning off the payout indicator 46 and the insertion display lamp (step S106), or when 30 seconds have not elapsed since the start of the game start waiting (NO in step S105), whether the change processing start switch 56 is ON or not. It is determined (step S107). Here, if the change process start switch 56 is ON (YES in step S107), the setting confirmation process is performed (step S108), and when this process ends, the process returns to step S100. The setting confirmation process is a process for confirming the current setting value, and is a process of displaying the setting value on a predetermined display.

  When the change process start switch 56 is not ON in step S107 (NO in step S107), it is determined whether or not the bet switch 15 is turned ON (step S109). Here, in the case of the ON determination (YES in step S109), the value of the credit indicator 45 is reduced by one, and a process is performed to treat it as one inserted medal (step S114). When this process ends, the process returns to step S100. When it is determined that the bet switch 15 is not turned on (NO in step S109), it is determined whether or not the maximum bet switch 17 is turned on (step S110). Here, in the case of ON determination (YES in step S110), the value of the credit display unit 45 is displayed by subtracting three, and processing is performed to treat that three medals have been inserted (step S115). When this process ends, the process returns to step S100.

  When it is determined in step S110 that the maximum bet switch 17 is not turned on (NO in step S110), or when it is determined in step S103 that the replay combination is won in the previous game (YES in step S103). ), It is determined whether or not the reset switch 52 is turned on (step S111). Here, if the reset switch 52 is determined to be ON (YES in step S111), the allowable state stay ratio confirmation process described below is performed (step S116), and if it is determined to be OFF (NO in step S111), the adjustment switch 23 is selected. It is determined whether or not is ON (step S112). When the settlement switch 23 is determined to be ON in step S112, a settlement process of paying out the number of medals displayed on the credit indicator 45 from the medal payout outlet 39 is performed (step S113), and when this process ends, step S100 Return to. On the other hand, when the settlement switch 23 is OFF (NO in step S112), the procedure returns to step S100 without performing the settlement process.

3. Various Game Number Update Process The various game number update process of FIG. 43 is a process executed by the main CPU 61 of the main control board 63, and is a process performed by the allowable state ratio calculation unit 114.

  After the medal payout process is performed in step S6 of the main process of FIG. 40, the permissible state ratio calculation means 114 increments the count value of the total game number counter 655 by +1 (step S200). Next, it is determined whether or not the game related to the end is in the AT permissible state (step S201), and when the game is in the AT permissible state (YES in step S201), the permissible state ratio calculation unit 114 +1 is added to the count value of the total allowable period game number counter 656 (step S202). On the other hand, when it is determined in step S201 that the game is not in the AT permissible state, or after the count value of the total permissible period game number counter 656 is incremented by +1 in step S202, the permissible state ratio calculating means 114 respectively adds them. Based on the subsequent count value of the total game number counter 655 and the count value of the total allowable period game number counter 656, the stay ratio in the AT allowable state (allowable state stay ratio) is calculated (step S203). This allowable state stay ratio is calculated by (count value of total allowable period game number counter 656) / (count value of total game number counter 655) × 100 [%]. After calculating the permissible state stay ratio, the permissible state ratio calculating unit 114 overwrites and stores the calculation result in the permissible state stay ratio storage area 657 (step S204), and ends the process.

4. Permissible State Stay Ratio Confirmation Process The allowable state stay ratio confirmation process of FIG. 44 is a process executed by the main CPU 61 of the main control board 63, and is a process performed by the allowable state ratio display control means 115.

  When the reset switch 52 is determined to be ON in step 110 of the game start waiting process in FIG. 42 (YES in step S110), the permissible state ratio display control means 115 sets the permissible state stay ratio display flag to ON. When the permissible state stay ratio display flag is set to ON, the permissible state ratio display control means 115 determines whether or not the reset switch 52 has been turned OFF (step S301). This ON setting is maintained until the reset switch 52 changes from the ON state to the OFF state (NO in step S301), and when it is in the OFF state (YES in step S301), it is switched to the OFF setting (step S302). After the allowable state stay ratio display flag is set to OFF, the process returns to step S100 of the game start waiting process. The flag is set by, for example, providing a predetermined storage area of the RAM 65 of the main control board 63.

5. Timer Interrupt Process The timer interrupt process shown in FIGS. 45 and 46 is a process executed every interruption process in the main CPU 61 of the main control board 63.

  First, the phase of each reel motor 14L, 14M, 14R is output (step S400), and the command set in the output port is transmitted (step S401). Next, the state of the input port connected to the voltage monitoring IC is checked, and if it is in the power cut state (YES in step S402), the game process is interrupted and the power cut process (step S415) is executed. And returns to the timer interrupt process. In the power interruption process, for example, after the evacuation process, the state of the slot machine 1 is saved in a predetermined storage area and a restoration process is performed.

  On the other hand, if it is not in the power-off state (NO in step S402), the lighting state of the credit display unit 45 and the notification display unit 60 is the current control state of the slot machine 1 (operation of each switch, insertion of medals, AT period). Whether or not it is in progress, etc.) is updated (step S403). Next, the latest state of the input port for inputting the state of each switch and each sensor connected to the main control board 63 is set in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 65 (step S404). Then, the game process is interrupted, and a used area external interrupt process (step S405) described later with reference to FIG. 47 is executed.

  After the game process is restarted, if the transmission error command is set in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 65 (YES in step S406), the command transmission unit 113 transmits the transmission error command to the sub control board 73 ( Step S407). After the command is transmitted by the command transmitting means 113, or if the transmission error command is not set in the predetermined storage area (NO in step S408), it is determined whether or not the medal has been normally inserted (step S409). ), It is determined whether the medals have been normally paid out (step S410). On the other hand, if there is an error in the outside-use-area interrupt process (YES in step S408), the error process described below is executed to return to the timer interrupt process (step S416).

  Subsequently, a timer for measuring time such as a medal insertion interval and a payout interval is updated (step S411), information (data) to be output to the outside from the output port is acquired (step S412), and the acquired data is acquired. Is output to the outside (step S413), the control data of each stopped reel is acquired, and the index signals of all reels are reset (step S414), thus ending the processing.

6. 47. Usage Area External Interrupt Processing The usage area external interrupt processing shown in FIG. 47 is the usage area in which the program related to the progress of the game in the ROM 67 is stored after the game processing in the timer interrupt processing in FIG. 45 is interrupted. This is a process executed by executing a fraud determination program stored in a storage area outside a different used area.

  First, selector sensor monitoring processing for monitoring whether or not medals have been inserted normally is executed (step S500). In the selector sensor monitoring process, it is determined whether or not a medal has been normally inserted based on the change in the ON / OFF detection state of the plurality of insertion sensors 53 installed at different positions. The error command is set.

  Subsequently, a payout sensor monitoring process for monitoring whether or not the medal payout is normally performed is executed (step S501). In the payout sensor monitoring process, whether or not the medal payout is normally performed is determined based on the operating state of the hopper motor 57, the detection state of the payout sensor 54, and the like, and in the case of an abnormality, a transmission error command is set. To be done.

  Next, a door monitoring process for monitoring whether the front door 5 is open or closed is executed (step S502). Based on the ON / OFF state of the door opening / closing switch (not shown), the progress state of the game, etc., it is determined whether or not the front door 5 is opened / closed in a normal state, and if it is abnormal, a transmission error The command is set.

  Then, the permissible state stay ratio display process, which will be described later, is executed to return to the timer interrupt process (step S503).

7. Error Processing The error processing shown in FIGS. 48 and 49 is processing executed by the main CPU of the main control board 63.

  First, in step S408 of FIG. 46, if there is an error in the use area external interruption process, the current game state (normal game, bonus game, AT allowable state, etc.) is stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 65. (Step S600). Next, the fact that it is in an error state is transmitted to the sub control board 73 (step S601). Next, after the display content of the payout indicator 46 is stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 65 (step S602), error information (error code) is displayed on the payout indicator 46 (step S602). Subsequently, the state of the hopper and the state of the cancel coil for determining whether or not to accept the insertion of medals are stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 65 (step S604), and the hopper is not activated and the medal is Is not accepted (step S605).

After the hopper and the cancel coil are turned off, it waits until the reset switch 52 is turned on to cancel the error (NO in step S606), and when turned on (YES in step S606), the door open / close detection switch Is turned on (the front door 5 is closed) (step S607). Until the door open / close detection switch is determined to be OFF,
When the ON / OFF determination of the reset switch 52 and the ON / OFF determination of the door open / close detection switch are repeated and the door open / close detection switch is determined to be OFF (NO in step S607), both the insertion sensor 53 and the payout sensor 54 are turned on. It is determined whether or not it is OFF (step S608). If at least one of the insertion sensor 53 and the payout sensor 54 is determined to be ON in this determination (YES in step S608), ON / OFF determination of the reset switch 52 and the door are performed until both sensors 53 and 54 are determined to be OFF. The processing of steps S606 to S608 is repeated in the order of ON / OFF determination of the open / close detection switch and ON / OFF determination of the insertion sensor 53 and the payout sensor 54.

  When both the insertion sensor 53 and the payout sensor 54 are turned off (NO in step S608), the state of the hopper and the cancel coil is restored (step S609), and then the display of the error information displayed on the payout indicator 46 is cleared. At the same time (step S610), the display content of the payout indicator 46 is restored (step S611). At this time, the game state is returned (step S612) and the information indicating that the error is released is transmitted to the sub control board 73 (step S613). Finally, the permissible state ratio display suspension timer is set to 10 seconds, and the process ends (step S614).

8. Permissible State Stay Ratio Display Process The permissible state stay ratio display process shown in FIG. 50 is a process executed by the main CPU of the main control board 63, and is a use area in which a game program for the progress of the game in the ROM 67 is stored. This processing is performed by the allowable state ratio display control means 115 executing a program stored in a storage area (storage area outside the used area) different from.

  After the door monitoring process is performed in step S502 of FIG. 47, the permissible state ratio display hold timer set in step 614 of the error process of FIG. 49 is decremented by one second (-1).

  Next, the permissible state ratio display control means 115 determines whether or not the door open / close detection switch is in the OFF state (open state) (step S701). If the front door 5 is in the open state, it is an error. It is determined whether or not (step S702). If the error is not occurring (YES in step S702), it is determined whether or not the allowable state stay ratio display flag is ON (step S703), and if it is ON (YES in step S703), the allowable state stay ratio display is displayed. It is determined whether or not the hold timer is 0 (step S704). If the front door 5 is in the closed state (NO in step S701), if there is an error (YES in step S702), the allowable state stay ratio display flag is OFF (NO in step S703), the allowable state stay ratio display hold timer. If is not 0 (NO in step S704), the process ends in any case.

  When the permissible state stay ratio display hold timer is 0 (YES in step S704), the permissible state ratio display control means 115 determines whether or not the count value of the total game number counter 655 exceeds 175,000 games. (Step S705) If it exceeds (YES in step S705), the allowable state stay ratio stored in the allowable state stay ratio storage area 657 is displayed on the payout display 46 by lighting, and the process ends (step S706). ). On the other hand, when the count value of the total number-of-games counter 655 does not exceed 175000 games (NO in step S705), the allowable state stay ratio stored in the allowable state stay ratio storage area 657 is blinked and displayed on the payout display unit 46. Then, the process ends (step S707). In this case, the allowable state stay ratio is not displayed until a fixed period (10 seconds) has passed since the error was released.

(Variation of allocation status of lottery value determining AT right win)
Next, with reference to FIG. 51, a modified example of the allocation situation of the lottery value for determining the AT right winning will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 51A, this modified example is different from the above-described embodiment in the first situation a, in which the AT allowable states have different AT right wins (addition of the number of games). In the embodiment described above, including the second situation b and the third situation c, the lottery value range (30: 30) assigned to the winning combination group “AT allowance + AT right + normal replay” indicated by the identification number 3 (see FIG. 10). 11 to FIG. 14) are divided so that the AT winning states are different according to the first to third situations a, b and c, and a winning combination group with identification numbers 3a, 3b and 3c is formed. Is. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 51 (a), the lottery value range assigned to the entire identification numbers 3a, 3b, 3c is the same as the lottery value range assigned to the identification number 3 shown in FIG. 10 (30: FIG. 11). (See FIG. 14), the lottery value range assigned to each identification number 3a, 3b, 3c is set to the lottery value regardless of the type of the set value, as in the above-described embodiment. The ranges are configured to be the same. Then, based on the lottery value generated by the lottery value generating means 103a at the start of the game, the lottery value determination determining means 103b determines which winning group of each identification number 3a, 3b, 3c has been won. ..

  Further, the first situation a (normal AT acceptable state) is an AT acceptable state excluding the second and third situations b and c, and the second situation b is 300 games or more after the transition to the AT acceptable state. This is the later allowed state of AT. Further, in the third situation c, if the transition lottery in the push order unquestioned bell win in the AT allowed state is won with a winning probability of 1/2, the AT allowed state continues for 50 games, and while the third situation c continues. When the AT allowable state ends, the third situation c also ends. In addition, when the player wins the transition drawing to the third situation c during the second situation b, the third situation c is given priority over the second situation, and the condition of the second situation b is satisfied at the end of the third situation c. If so, the second situation b is prioritized over the first situation a. The trigger for changing each of the situations a, b, and c is not limited to the above example, and the winning combination lottery result after AT acceptance, the winning combination lottery history, the number of games that have passed since AT acceptance, AT acceptance Each situation a, b, c can be appropriately changed according to the number of medals to be acquired later.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 51 (b), a first situation determination table 674a in which data to be referred to for determining the number of games to be added in the game in the first situation a by the addition means 100e during the period is stored, It constitutes a part of the AT addition lottery table 674 for the identification number 3a. Further, as shown in FIGS. 51 (b) and (c), the determination for the second situation in which data to be referred to for determining the number of games to be added in the game in the second situation b by the addition means 100e during the period is stored. The table 674b constitutes a part of the AT additional lottery table 674 for the identification numbers 3a and 3b. Further, as shown in FIGS. 51 (b), (c), and (d), data to be referred to for determining the number of games to be added in the game in the third situation c by the addition means 100e during the period is stored. The three-situation determination table 674c constitutes a part of the AT additional lottery table 674 for the identification numbers 3a, 3b, 3c.

  At this time, when the role lottery result of the role lottery means 103 is the first situation a when the identification number 3a is won, the addition means 100e during the period is the first situation determination table 674a shown in FIG. 51 (b). If the second situation b is used and the number-of-games addition lottery is carried out, during the period, the addition means 100e performs the number-of-games addition lottery using the second situation determination table 674b shown in FIG. In the case of 3 situations c, the addition means 100e performs the number of games addition lottery during the period using the third situation determination table 674c shown in FIG. 51 (b).

  Further, when the result of the role lottery of the role lottery means 103 is to win the identification number 3b, the AT right is not won in the first situation a, and the additional means 100e during the period is in the second situation b. 51 (c), the number-of-games addition lottery is performed using the second situation determination table 674b, and if the situation is the third situation c, the additional means 100e during the period, the third situation determination shown in FIG. 51 (c). Using the table 674c, the number of games is increased and lottery is performed. Further, when the winning combination lottery result of the winning combination lottery means 103 wins the identification number 3c, if the first and second situations are a and b, then the AT right is not won, and if it is the third situation, then it is added during the period. The means 100e uses the third situation determination table 674c shown in FIG.

  According to this structure, the data to be referred by the addition means 100e during the period for determining whether or not to add the initial number of games can be made different depending on each situation a, b, c included in the AT allowable state. Therefore, it is possible to improve the playability while maintaining fairness. As described above, the second situation b is configured so that it is easier to win the AT right than the first situation a, and the third situation c is easier to win the AT right than the second situation b and the first situation a. ing.

  In addition, in the present modification, the determination result storage means 104 determines the determination result for the AT allowable win and the AT right win using, for example, a flag that is configured by 1 bit and stores ON and OFF as follows. It can be stored in the result storage area 652. That is, each bit corresponds to i) AT permissible win, ii) AT right win in first situation a, iii) AT right win in second situation b, and iv) AT right win in third situation c. The decision result storage area 652 secures a 4-bit area to be used, and the decision result storage means 104 turns ON each of the above bits in accordance with the identification number (winning combination group) that is the result of the hand lottery result of the hand lottery means 103. By setting OFF, it is possible to collectively manage the determination results regarding the AT allowable win and the AT right win.

  At this time, when checking the role lottery result of the role lottery means 103, if the slot machine 1 is set to the AT non-permissible state, the determination result storage area 652 in which the determination result of the AT permissible hand is stored. Bits are referred to, but each bit of the decision result storage area 652 in which the determination result regarding the AT right hand is stored is configured not to be referred to. When the slot machine 1 is set to the AT permissible state, the AT right is set. Bits corresponding to the current situation of the AT allowable state among the respective bits storing the determination result of the winning combination are referred to, but bits corresponding to other situations of the AT right winning combination and the determination result of the AT allowable winning combination The bit of the decision result storage area 652 in which is stored is not referred to. By doing so, when storing lottery results in a plurality of situations, a large storage capacity is required to store the lottery results in each situation in a configuration in which a storage capacity of 1 byte is provided corresponding to each situation. However, it is more preferable to store the lottery result for each situation in a flag composed of 1 bit because the storage capacity for storing the lottery result can be significantly reduced.

  Therefore, according to the above-described embodiment, whether or not the AT permissible state in which the AT game advantageous to the player is permitted is generally designed to have high security in the main control means and to prevent fraud. It is determined according to the determination result of the lottery means. Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult to cheat the AT game, and it is possible to efficiently perform the fraud countermeasure for the AT game by determining whether or not the AT is allowed to win. Further, since each of the determination results of the role lottery means that is designed to have high security and is hard to perform fraud is associated with the AT acceptable win or not in a one-to-one correspondence, it is possible to determine whether or not the AT acceptable win is more fair. Can be determined at.

  In addition, the lottery range data of the identification number including the AT permissible winning combination and the lottery range data of the identification number not including the AT permissible winning combination in the ROM 67 of the main control board 63 are stored in the winning lottery table 671. Among the areas to be stored, the AT lottery value storage area and the non-AT lottery value storage area are separately stored. By doing this, when the AT is allowed, it is determined whether the lottery range data at that time is the data stored in the AT lottery value storage area or the non-AT lottery value storage area. Since it becomes possible to easily check whether or not the AT is in an allowable state due to an abnormal operation, it is possible to further maintain fairness of the gaming machine.

  The non-AT lottery value storage area stores lottery range data at different positions for each type of set value, while the AT lottery value storage area stores a lottery range at a common position regardless of the type of set value. In the case where the data is stored and the winning combination lottery means 103 has an identification number that does not include the AT allowable winning combination, a winning combination lottery is performed using the lottery range data according to the type of the set value Performs a winning combination lottery using common lottery range data regardless of the set value. As described above, the identification number including the AT allowable combination stores the lottery range data common to the set value and the lottery range data of the identification number having a different property of not including the AT allowable combination in different areas. Not only that, the AT lottery value storage area and the non-AT lottery value storage area are configured to have different ways of holding the lottery range data. It is easy to carry out the inspection and the lottery range data is easily designed.

  Further, in this embodiment, whether or not the AT allowable state in which the AT game advantageous to the player is allowed is determined when the role lottery means 103 performs the role lottery in the game in the AT non-allowable state in which the AT game is not permitted. It is determined by the same lottery value as the lottery value used for. Further, whether or not to carry out the lottery for the number of games is determined by the lottery value used when the role lottery means 103 carries out the role lottery in the game in the AT allowed state. That is, in the main control board 63, the lottery value for the winning combination lottery, which is generally designed to have high security and is hard to be fraudulent, is combined with each winning combination lottery result of the winning combination lottery means 103 in a one-to-one correspondence with whether or not the AT is acceptable. Correspondence is made, and whether or not the AT right is won is also made one-to-one correspondence. Therefore, it is uniquely determined based on the lottery value generated based on the start of the game whether or not it is an AT allowable win, and further whether or not the AT right is win is uniquely determined. Therefore, it is difficult to perform fraud on the AT game. be able to. Therefore, by determining whether or not the AT is allowed to win by a fair lottery, and by determining whether or not the AT is right to be won by a fair lottery, it is possible to more efficiently perform the fraud countermeasure against the AT game.

  Further, by using the lottery value generated based on the start of the game, as in the bonus combination for determining whether or not the winning combination lottery means 103 has always won with the same expected value, whether or not the AT is acceptable, and Whether or not the AT right is won can always be determined with the same expected value. Therefore, in the same manner as when expecting whether or not the bonus role is won for each game, it is possible to determine whether or not the AT is allowed in the AT non-allowed state. It is possible to expect, and it is possible to expect whether or not the AT right is won in the AT allowed state, so that the interest of the player can be improved. In addition, one lottery value determines which winning combination is won, whether the AT is allowed to win, and whether the AT right is winning. Therefore, the player can play the AT based on which winning combination. It is possible to infer whether or not the game is in the permitted state and whether or not the AT right is won, and it is possible to improve the interest in the game. Further, by making three determinations with one lottery value, it is possible to reduce the processing load for generating the lottery value.

  In addition, in this embodiment, if one of the push order bells (identification numbers 33 to 56) is won during the non-AT, it is understood that one of the push order bells ($ 07) is won. The command of the notification type “0” is transmitted to the sub control board 73 so that the order cannot be specified. However, "left middle right correct answers 1 to 4", "left right middle correct answers 1 to 4", "middle left right correct answers 1 to 4", "middle right left correct answers 1 to 4", "right left middle correct answers 1 to 4", "right" If the width of the random number range of each of the middle left correct answers 1 to 4 ”is not the same, the expected value of the payout will differ depending on the pressing order. In this case, even if the correct pressing order is not known, only the information that the winning combination is the pressing order bell is obtained, which is more advantageous than the player who cannot obtain the information. Therefore, in order to surely prevent fraud, it is preferable that the widths of the random value ranges of the respective roles forming the “push order bell” are the same.

  Further, since the allowance stay rate is configured to be displayed on the payout indicator 46, it is possible to determine whether or not the allowance stay rate is actually the designed allowance stay rate. Therefore, it is possible to determine an abnormality or injustice of the gaming machine before the excessive privilege is actually given to the AT game in the gaming machine and it becomes necessary to determine the abnormality or injustice of the gaming machine. Fairness of the machine increases. Further, since the payout indicator 46 is used both for displaying the error information and for displaying the permissible state stay ratio, the parts (displays) can be shared, so that the cost of the gaming machine can be reduced. Even if the reset switch 52 is operated to cancel the error, the allowable state stay ratio is not displayed, and the allowable state stay ratio is not displayed unless the operation is finished and the reset switch 52 is operated again. Even if the same reset switch 52 is used to display the allowable state stay ratio and the error reset operation, the operation for displaying the allowable state stay ratio can be made independent, and as a result, the error information is displayed. It is possible to more clearly understand whether or not it is the display of the allowable state stay ratio. Further, since the permissible state stay ratio is not displayed for a certain period (10 seconds in this embodiment) after the operation of the reset switch 52 for releasing the error is completed, the display of the error information and the permissible state are performed. Confusion with the display of the stay ratio can be reliably prevented.

  Further, in this embodiment, the permissible state ratio calculating unit 114 calculates the permissible state stay ratio in each game, overwrites it in the permissible state stay ratio storage area 657, and stores it again. The allowable state stay ratio stored in the allowable state stay ratio storage area 657 at this time is displayed at the timing when the reset switch 52 for displaying is displayed. In this way, no matter what timing the allowable state stay ratio is displayed, it can be easily displayed by performing the process of reading the data. Therefore, for example, the timing when another process such as the setting change process or the setting confirmation process occurs. Even if the processing relating to the display of the allowable state stay ratio is performed, there is no load, and the allowable state stay ratio can be preferably displayed.

  Since the AT permissible state in which the AT game is permitted is ended (limiter) when 1500 games continue, an upper limit can be set for the duration of the AT period. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the player's eagerness to win a large number of medals for a long period of AT.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications other than those described above can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, in this embodiment, the identification number including the AT permissible hand is configured to include the AT right hand, but the identification number including the AT permissible hand may not include the AT right hand.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the identification numbers including the AT permissible winning combination are the same regardless of the types of the RT game states (RT0, RT1, RT2, RT3) has been described. For example, in FIG. As shown, the type of re-game combination including the AT allowable combination may be changed for each type of RT game state (RT0, RT1, RT2, RT3). However, in this case, even if the type of RT gaming state changes, both the AT allowable role and the re-gaming role in any RT gaming state so that the probability of winning the AT when winning the re-gaming role is the same. It is preferable that the sum of the lottery value ranges of the identification numbers including is the same (see FIG. 52). Note that FIG. 52 (a) shows an example of the lottery value of the identification number including the replay combination of the normal RT (RT1), and FIG. 52 (b) is the identification number including the replay combination of the advantageous RT (RT2). An example of the lottery value of is shown. Further, in this embodiment, in the winning combination lottery during the bonus game (BB1), the identification number including the AT allowable winning combination (see FIG. 24) is not drawn, but the identification number including the AT allowable winning combination is selected by lottery. I don't care. However, in this case, even if the types of the RT gaming state and the bonus gaming state are changed, the probability of winning the AT ((the sum of the lottery values of the identification numbers including the AT permissible winning combination) / the lottery population number × 100 [%]) is the same. Therefore, it is preferable that the total of the lottery values of the identification numbers including the AT permissible winning combination be the same value even if the types of the RT gaming state and the bonus gaming state are changed.

  In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the notification lamp 60c is turned on to notify that the slot machine 1 is in the AT allowable state. However, when the slot machine 1 is in an error state, the first and second Although the 7-segment LEDs 60a and 60b may be turned off, it is preferable to keep the notification lamp 60c lit in the AT allowable state. Further, the slot machine 1 may be configured to output information indicating that the slot machine 1 is in the AT permissible state from an external terminal to a hall computer or the like.

  By the way, with respect to the winning combination group including the “bonus combination” and not including the “AT allowable winning” and the “AT right winning” (hereinafter referred to as “identification number X”), there is a difference in the winning probability depending on the type of the set value. When the range of the lottery value is set as described above, when the "AT right win" is configured during the bonus game, the identification number X includes "AT right win". There is no setting, but since there is a setting difference in whether or not to shift to the bonus game state (whether or not to win the bonus role), the lottery value of "AT right win" during the bonus game is set to be the same regardless of the set value. Even if it is done, the expected value of “AT right win” during the bonus game may be different depending on the set value.

  In order to prevent this state, a first bonus state that includes "AT right win" and a second bonus state that does not include "AT right win" are provided, and a first bonus in which there is no difference in winning probability setting. When the identification number Y including the winning combination (the lottery value is the same regardless of the type of the set value) is won, the state shifts to the first bonus state including the “AT right win”, and the winning probability has a setting difference. When the identification number Z including the second bonus combination (the lottery value differs depending on the type of the set value) is won, the second bonus state that does not include the “AT right winning” may be configured. With this configuration, the expected value of the AT right win does not change depending on the set value, so that it is possible to provide a gaming machine with a more uniform expectation regardless of the set value.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the limiter condition is satisfied when the duration of the AT permissible state is 1500 games, and the AT permissible state is ended (end of the AT permissible state by the limiter). The condition is not limited to the total number of games played in the AT permissible state (the number of continuous games during the AT permissible period). For example, a limiter condition for starting the AT permissible state and ending the AT permissible state based on the number of medals acquired in the AT permissible state may be set. Specifically, the limiter condition is satisfied when the number of medals acquired reaches a certain number during the AT allowable period after starting the AT allowable state, and the AT allowable state is ended (at the AT allowable period of the limiter End).

  In this case, the total number of medals obtained by winning each winning combination is counted for all winning combinations that have paid out medals after the AT allowable state has started during the relevant AT allowable period. When the number of sheets exceeds a certain number (for example, 3000 sheets), the AT allowable state may be terminated. On the other hand, for a plurality of specific winning combinations (for example, “push order bells”) that inform the player of an advantageous stop switch operation mode, only the number of medals obtained by winning each specific winning combination is counted, and the total number of medals is calculated. The AT allowable period may be ended when the number of acquired sheets exceeds a certain number.

  It should be noted that it may be possible to determine whether the limiter condition is satisfied by using the total payout number obtained by counting the number of paid-out medals as the total number of medals to be acquired, or from the number of paid-out medals to the medal insertion slot. Whether or not the limiter condition is satisfied may be determined based on the total number of coins obtained by counting the net number of coins obtained by subtracting the number of inserted medals into 25.

  Moreover, although the case where the one winning indicator 60 notifies the winning combination lottery result has been described, similarly to the notifying indicator 60, another notifying indicator composed of two 7-segment LEDs is provided, and one of the The notification indicator is used to notify the advantageous pressing order of the push-order bell, and the other notification indicator is used only for a predetermined small role (“cherry”, “watermelon A”, “watermelon B”). It may be used to suggest a push order during a win and these simultaneous wins. In this case, when notifying the same pressing order, both notification indicators may have the same notification mode. Further, at this time, the information display for push-order bells is displayed as "cherry", "watermelon A", "watermelon B", for example, the periphery (front plate 9) of the push-order bell notification display is decorated. It may be configured to be easier to recognize than the notification display for the winning group including "," or for the winning group including any of "cherry", "watermelon A", and "watermelon B". The notification indicator may be smaller than the notification indicator for the push order bell. In this way, the result of the winning combination lottery notified by the smaller notification display is not related to the push order bell (winning combination group) in which the operation sequence advantageous to the player is notified during AT or the like. It is possible to let the player recognize that

  In addition, even if the pressing order bell (specific role) and the winning group including any of "cherry", "watermelon A", and "watermelon B" have the same advantageous pressing order, the notification display device You may comprise so that the notification mode by 60 may differ. In this case, the first 7-segment LED 60a that notifies the information that can specify the pressing order is the same notification mode, and the notification mode of the second 7-segment LED 60b that indicates the type of the notification mode is changed according to the winning group type. You should do so. In addition, at this time, different notification modes (for example, the second 7 segment, a winning order group, a winning group including “cherry”, a winning group including “watermelon A”, and a winning group including “watermelon B”) The LED 60b) may be used, or the winning group including “watermelon A” and the winning group including “watermelon B” may be in the same notification mode.

  In addition, since the notification mode of the notification indicator 60 is set to the mode (notification type “0”) that the notification is not performed, pay attention to the notification when the notification is performed on the notification indicator 60. You can

  The first 7-segment LED 60a of the notification display 60 changes to a notification mode that suggests the next stop mode due to the stop operation, but the second 7-segment LED 60b changes before and after the stop operation. The same notification is continued to notify the notification type. In this case, the first 7-segment LED 60a can be used to grasp the appropriate operation sequence at that time, and the second 7-segment LED 60b can be used to determine the appropriate operation sequence in the game (game). Can be grasped even after the.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, as the command of the winning lottery result transmitted from the main control board 63 to the sub control board 73, a command indicating the kind of winning combination that constitutes the internally winning winning combination group and the notification type are shown. Although the case where the command and the command are individually created has been described, one command that uniquely identifies both of these types is created, and the sub-control board 73 that receives the command identifies the winning group that is internally won. It may be configured so that both the type of the constituent role and the type of notification are known.

  Further, instead of the notification display 60, the credit display 45 may be controlled by the notification display control means 106. Further, the notification display 60 may also be used to control the payout display 46 for specifying the number of payouts due to winning. In consideration of the purpose of use, the payout indicator may be used from the end of the third stop operation to the start of the game, and the notification may be made from the start of the game to the third stop operation. It is preferable to control.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the notification display 60 is controlled by the main control board 63 (main control means) has been described, but it may be controlled independently of the sub control board 73.

  Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, the slot machine 1 is described as an example of the gaming machine of the present invention, but the present invention is applied to a gaming machine called a parrot, which is a combination of a slot machine and a pachinko machine. Of course, when the present invention is applied to such a gaming machine, a gaming ball (pachinko ball) as a gaming value may be adopted. Furthermore, the gaming machine of the present invention may be applied to a video game by executing a computer program. Further, the display means of the present invention may be configured by using an image display device such as a liquid crystal display or a CRT and sequentially displaying a plurality of symbols on the image display device. Further, the number of variable display rows may be two or more, and the optimal number of variable display rows may be appropriately configured according to the mode of the game.

  And a display means having a plurality of variable display rows for variably displaying a plurality of types of symbols, and a stop operation means for stopping the variable display of each of the variable display rows, and the symbols when all the variable display rows are stopped The present invention can be widely applied to gaming machines that give a privilege to a player according to a combination.
