First, the meaning of each term in the present specification will be described. A "random number" is a random number used in a lottery (a lottery by an electronic computer, sometimes called a lottery) for determining some game content in a rotating game machine, and is a random number in a narrow sense. It also includes pseudo-random numbers (for example, hard random numbers as random numbers, built-in random numbers generated by a main control chip including a CPU, and soft random numbers as pseudo-random numbers). For example, so-called "basic random numbers" that affect the outcome of the game, specifically, "winning random numbers" related to special roles and winning roles (small roles, re-game roles) for shifting to special games, etc. Can be mentioned. The term "CPU" is synonymous with what is well known in the art, and is not limited to the architecture (CISC, RISC, number of bits, etc.) and processing performance used. "Power outage" means that the power supply voltage supplied to the game machine is below a certain level regardless of whether or not the power switch provided in the game machine is operated. For example, power supply It also includes the interruption of power supply due to unforeseen circumstances such as damage to the unit or power outage. "ROM" is synonymous with what is well known in the art, and physically holds information (for example, "1" if the element configuration is conductive when a current for reading data is applied, and conducts. If the element configuration does not, it will be "0"). RAM is synonymous with what is well known in the art, and holds information electrically (for example, when a current for reading data is applied, it is "1" if it is stored, and if it is not stored, it is not. It is set to "0". It should be noted that it is generally configured so that backup power is supplied to a part or all of the data held in the RAM at the time of power failure). The "game state" corresponds to, for example, a special game state in which a game medal is easily obtained and is advantageous to the player (a so-called big hit game, which is called a bonus game, a first-class BB, a second-class BB, or the like. ), Re-game probability fluctuation game state (RT state) in which the winning rate of the re-game combination is higher (or lower) than the normal game state in which the winning rate of the re-game combination is a predetermined value, and the winning combination. Examples include the stop order of the reels for winning a prize, an AT (assist time) state in which the stop position can be notified, and an ART (assist replay time) state in which the RT state and the AT state are combined. Further, even in the normal game state, the lottery probability of transition to the RT state, the AT state, and the ART state is different, the high probability normal game state, the low probability normal game state, etc. (in this example, it is referred to as the lottery state. ). In addition, there is no problem even if the game states are combined {Furthermore, these game states and functions (for example, a lottery for shifting to the AT state, output of a notification instruction related to the reel stop order, etc.) control the game progress. There is no problem even if all are mounted on the main control board side}. Further, in this example, the state related to AT and the RT state are described separately, and the RT state is referred to as "RT1" and the state related to AT is referred to as "normal gaming state". Collectively, the state related to ART may be referred to as a "normal game state" or the like as a state related to ART. The "winning combination" is a type (or condition device number) of a conditional device won by an internal lottery (sometimes referred to as an internal note lottery). The "notification state" is a state related to an AT capable of executing the push order navigation described later, and even if the game is won by a conditional device in which the push order navigation is not executed because the winning combination does not differ depending on the reel stop order. , If the state related to AT is a state in which push order navigation can be executed, it is configured to be a "notification state". The "counter value" is also referred to as the "number of games that can be executed for notification games", and is the number of remaining AT games or the counter value of the AT counter M60, which will be described later. For example, when the "number of playable notification games" is 1 or more (the game in which "0" is set may be included), the push order navigation described later can be executed. In addition, as the "number of playable notification games", the difference number of game media (the number of payouts minus the number of input) obtained based on the winning of small wins (mainly the push order bell role) and the number of pushes The number of times the winning bell role is won may be adopted. Further, the "special notification state" is a state that is most advantageous to the player among the states related to the AT, and in this example, it is referred to as an "additional specialization state". Further, the "specific condition" is a condition in which the AT counter value can be subtracted, and the specific condition is, for example, that one game is completed, a predetermined combination (for example, a push order bell combination) is won, and the like. "Type 1 special bonus" is a bonus that increases the number of combinations of symbols related to winning for each specified number, or increases the probability that the condition device related to winning for each specified number will operate, and is predetermined. It operates when it is played, and the operation can be continued until the result of the game is obtained not more than 12 times, and it is sometimes called RB (regular bonus). The "type 1 special accessory continuous operation device" is a device capable of continuously operating the type 1 special accessory, and is activated when a specific combination of symbols is displayed and is predetermined. The operation is terminated in the above, and it may be called BB (Big Bonus) or Type 1 BB. The "Type 2 special accessory" is an accessory that activates the condition device related to winning regardless of the result of the combination lottery, and it operates when it is determined in advance, and the result of one game can be obtained. In that case, the operation is terminated, and it is sometimes called CB (challenge bonus). The "type 2 special accessory continuous operation device" is a device that can continuously operate the type 2 special accessory, and is activated when a specific combination of symbols is displayed and is predetermined. The operation is terminated in the above, and it may be called MB (middle bonus) or type 2 BB. The "ordinary accessory" is an accessory that increases the number of combinations of symbols related to winning for each specified number, or increases the probability that the condition device related to winning for each specified number is activated, and is an accessory of a specific symbol. It is supposed to operate when the combination is displayed and end when the result of one game is obtained, and is sometimes referred to as SB (single bonus). The "all JACIN type" is a configuration in which when a first-class BB combination is won, it is regarded as JACIN, and the first-class BB is always in RB during execution. Further, the "JACIN lottery type" is a configuration in which the non-RB and the RB are repeatedly executed when the first type BB is executed. The "uncontrolled reel" is a reel in which the pull-in control that can be executed after the stop operation is not executed is not executed, and the reel is stopped at the closest reel position that can be stopped from the reel position where the stop operation is accepted. It is a reel of. The "all CB type" is a configuration that is always in the CB when the second type BB is executed. The "CB transition lottery type" is a configuration in which non-CB and CB are repeatedly executed when the second type BB is executed.

It is equipped with an operation console that protrudes to the side. Each element will be described in detail below.

<Mechanism for making the game state visible>
Next, the main part of the mechanism for making the gaming state visible will be described. The reel window D160 is a transparent member formed of a synthetic resin or the like that constitutes a part of the front door DU, and is configured so that the reel unit installed in the game machine frame can be visually recognized through the reel window D160. Further, the input number indicator lamp D210 is composed of three LEDs, and the same number of LEDs as the number of medals currently bet (inserting the game medals necessary to start one game) are lit. It is configured as. Specifically, the input number indicator lamp D210 is composed of three LEDs (lamps) of a 1-bet lamp D211, a 2-bet lamp D212, and a 3-bet lamp D213, and one game medal is bet. In the case, the 1-bet lamp D211: lights up, the 2-bet lamp D212: turns off, and the 3-bet lamp D213: turns off. : Lights up, 3-bet lamp D213: turns off, and when there are 3 game medals bet, 1-bet lamp D211: lights up, 2-bet lamp D212: lights up, and 3-bet lamp D213: lights up (re-game). This is not the case in the next game where is stopped and displayed, and details will be described later). Further, the start lamp D180 is composed of LEDs and lights up when the operation of the start lever D50 is valid (accepting the operation), and the operation of the start lever D50 is invalid (the operation is not accepted). It is configured to turn off in some cases. Further, the re-game lamp D290 is composed of LEDs, and is configured to be turned on when the re-game is stopped and displayed, and turned off when the next game when the re-game is stopped and displayed is completed. Further, the insertable lamp D300 lights up (may be blinking) when the insertion of the game medal into the medal insertion slot D170 is effective, or when the operation of the bet button D220 is effective, and the insertion of the game medal is performed. It is configured to turn off when it is invalid or when the operation of the bet button D220 is invalid. Further, the special game status display device D250 is configured by a 7-segment display, and is configured to display the total number of payouts paid out during the special game. In addition, the special game state display device D250 may not be provided, and in such a configuration, the total number of payouts may be made by the effect display device S40 (also referred to as the second information display unit) described later. By configuring to display, the player can recognize the total number of payouts paid out during the special game, and can be a user-friendly game machine. Further, the credit number display device D200 is configured by a 7-segment display, and is configured to display the total number of medals (the number of credits) stored in the game machine as medals held by the player. Further, the payout number display device (push order display device) D270 is composed of a 7-segment display, and the number of game medals currently paid out and the reel stop order (left stop button D41, middle stop button D42, right stop button). The winning combination may differ depending on the stop order of D43) {so-called push order combination (sometimes referred to as a combination with push order), but when the winning combination or the symbol combination displayed as stop is different Is generally configured so that the profit margin (number of payouts, subsequent RT status, etc.) given to the player can be different}, which is the reel that is most advantageous to the player in the game. It is configured to be able to notify the stop order (the notification may be referred to as push order navigation). In this way, the payout number display device (push order display device) D270 is configured to be able to execute two displays, that is, the number of game medals currently paid out and the reel stop order that is most profitable to the player. Therefore, the display mode is such that the player does not misunderstand which of the two displays is being executed, and the details of the display mode will be described later. Further, the AT counter value display device D280 plays a game according to the push order navigation display displayed on the push order display device D270 (also referred to as the first information display unit) among the states related to AT (details will be described later). It is possible to display the number of games that can stay in a state related to AT that is advantageous for the player (in this example, it may be referred to as a push order navigation state or a notification game, and details will be described later), which will be guaranteed when the game progresses. It is configured as. The AT counter value display device D280 may not be provided. In such a configuration, the player may be configured to display the number of games that can stay in the AT state on the effect display device S40. Can recognize the number of games whose state regarding the advantageous AT is guaranteed, and can be a user-friendly game machine. The payout number display device (push order display device) D270 may be configured to be divided into two devices, a payout number display device and a push order display device.

Further, the advantageous section indicator YH is composed of LEDs, and is configured to turn on when it is in the "advantageous section" and turn off when it is not in the "advantageous section" (for lighting and extinguishing timing). Will be described later). Here, in the reel-type game machine according to this example, as in the conventional reel-type game machine, it is easy to obtain a game medal and a special game state advantageous for the player (so-called jackpot game, bonus game). , 1st class BB, 2nd class BB, etc.), the winning rate of the replaying combination is higher (or lower) than the normal gaming state where the winning rate of the replaying combination is a predetermined value. The re-game probability fluctuation game state (RT state), the stop order of the reels for winning the winning combination, the AT (assist time) state in which the stop position can be notified, and the RT state and the AT state are A compound ART (assist replay time) state, etc. can be taken, but apart from these "game states", any one of the three "game sections" of "normal section", "standby section" and "advantageous section". Can be set. In this example, the "waiting section" is not set, and either the "normal section" or the "advantageous section" is set. Of these, the "advantageous section" is positioned as being relatively more advantageous to the player than the other "game sections". For example, the "game state" is the AT state or the ART state. It is associated with an "advantageous section". That is, when the "game state" is in the AT state or the ART state, the advantageous section indicator YH lights up, but as will be described later, the setting control of the "game section" is also the setting control of the "game state". Similarly, since it is performed on the main control board side that controls the game progress, whether or not the game progress status is relatively advantageous to the player depends on the lighting / extinguishing status of the advantageous section indicator YH. It is possible to tell the player without telling a lie. As will be described later, if the "advantageous section" continues until the predetermined upper limit number of games (for example, 1500 games) is reached, the "normal section" is forcibly set, but in that case, it remains. Since the state related to AT is also forcibly terminated (the information for maintaining the AT state is cleared and initialized), the change of the set "game section" also affects the transition of the "game state". It can be given, and as a result, it is possible to automatically suppress a significant increase in gambling due to a "game state" such as an AT state or an ART state, which has a relatively high degree of freedom in design. It is. As described above, if the "advantageous section" continues until the predetermined upper limit number of games (for example, 1500 games) is reached, the "normal section" is forcibly set, that is, the "advantageous section" ends. However, the end condition of the "advantageous section" is not limited to this. The end condition of the "advantageous section" in the revolving game machine according to this example is the push that can acquire the small win with the largest number of payouts among the small wins that make up the "push order combination (combination with push order)". Sequential navigation One execution (for example, if there are seven, three, and one small winning combination as the small winning combination, the seven small winning combination with the largest number of payouts can be obtained. If there is a push order combination that can acquire 7 or 1 cards depending on the push order and a push order combination that can acquire 3 cards depending on the push order, the push order navigation that can acquire 3 cards is referred to here. "Not applicable to push order navigation)" or "Winning any of BB, RB, MB", and "Arbitrary end condition (40G 1 set loop lottery non-winning (AT), fixed 32G" The end condition is to satisfy "Progress (precursor), etc.)" or "Advantageous section 1500G". In the case of a specification in which there is no push order bell combination (example: there is a push order for replay to shift the RT state, but there is no small combination in which the number of payouts differs depending on the push order). The condition for ending the advantageous section of "one push order navigation that can acquire the small winning combination with the largest number of payouts" is excluded. Further, in the present embodiment, as the small winning combination constituting the pushing order combination, the small winning combination corresponding to the 11-card combination and the small winning combination corresponding to the 1-card combination are composed, so that "the number of payouts is the largest. "Execution of push order navigation once for which small wins can be obtained" means to notify the push order in which 11 medals can be obtained (11 wins can be won).

<Mechanism for enabling input of game media>
Next, the main part of the mechanism for enabling the input of the game medium will be described. The medal slot D170 is a slot for inserting medals, and the game medals inserted into the slot are guided to the inside of the game machine in a situation where medals can be accepted.

<Medal Selector DS>
Next, the medal selector DS will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a path (selector) of a game medal inserted into the medal insertion slot D170 inside the rotating drum type gaming machine P. The medal selector DS is provided with an insertion reception sensor D10s that serves as a passage for game medals inserted from the medal insertion port D170 near the door substrate D, and below the insertion reception sensor D10s, a game medal discharge port D240. A coin shooter D90 or the like is provided to guide the driver. The insertion reception sensor D10s has a function of selecting game medals inserted from the medal insertion slot D170 mainly based on the dimensions and accepting only game medals conforming to the standard dimensions, and it is determined that the insertion reception sensor D10s does not conform to this function. The medals (or other foreign matter) that have been awarded are configured to be refunded to the outlet D240 by the blocker D100. If a game medal is inserted before the player operates the start lever D50 (when the insertion of the game medal is valid), the game medals are selected by the insertion reception sensor D10s, and only those that satisfy the standard are satisfied. The medals that have been inserted into the hopper H40 and do not meet the standards are returned to the discharge port D240 through the coin shooter D90. On the other hand, if a game medal is inserted after the start lever D50 is operated (when the insertion of the game medal is not valid), the inserted game medal is inserted regardless of whether or not the standard is satisfied. Is returned to the discharge port D240 through the coin shooter D90. Further, inside the insertion reception sensor D10s (in the back of the flow path), a sensor related to medal insertion, which will be described in detail later, is provided, and when a game medal that satisfies the dimensional standard and is accepted passes, the first insertion sensor D20s The signal is detected by the second input sensor D30s and is supplied to the main control board M described later.

Next, the sensor related to medal insertion will be described in detail. The game medal inserted into the medal insertion slot D170 first passes through the insertion reception sensor D10s. The insertion reception sensor D10s is a mechanical double sensor, and when the game medal passes, it is turned on by pressing the two protruding mechanisms, and the game medal can normally pass through the passage. .. Further, with such a configuration, when a foreign substance that is not a game medal (a foreign substance that does not satisfy the standard and has a diameter smaller than that of the game medal, for example) is inserted, two protruding mechanisms are pressed. Not done. Since the medal cannot maintain the standing state, such a medal cannot pass through the passage (the medal collapses), and is refunded to the discharge port D240 through the coin shooter D90 as described above. In addition, the input reception sensor D10s is configured so that it can determine an error even when the ON time is continuous for a predetermined time or longer (as a result, the blocker D100 can be turned off). ..

When the game medal normally passes through the blocker D100, it passes through the first throwing sensor D20s and the second throwing sensor D30s immediately after passing. This input sensor (first input sensor D20s and second input sensor D30s) is composed of two sensors (they are arranged adjacent to each other at intervals smaller than the standard diameter of the game medal), and each sensor is turned on. -Various errors can be detected by monitoring the off status (the transition order of the on / off combination of the first input sensor D20s and the second input sensor D30s, etc.) and the on / off time. It is configured in.

<Medal payout device H>
Next, the medal payout device H will be described in detail with reference to the front view and the top view of the medal payout device H of FIG. The medal payout device H is operated by the settlement button in a state where credits (game medals electronically stored inside the game machine) or bet medals (medals inserted to start the game) are present. It will be activated when the game medal is paid out by winning or winning. When operating, first, the hopper motor H80 is driven to rotate the disc H50 around the disc rotation shaft H50a. Due to the rotation, the game medals in the medal payout device H displace the release urging means H70 and flow down from the game medal outlet H60 toward the discharge port D240. The payout sensor (first payout sensor H10s and second payout sensor H20s) is composed of two sensors, and the on / off status of each sensor (first payout sensor H10s and second payout sensor H20s on / off). Various errors can be detected by monitoring the transition order of the off combination, etc.) and the on / off time. More specifically, for example, when normally passing through the game medal outlet H60, the first payout sensor H10s = off and the second payout sensor H20s = off due to the displacement of the release urging means H70. 1 payout sensor H10s = off, second payout sensor H20s = off → first payout sensor H10s = on, second payout sensor H20s = off → first payout sensor H10s = on, second payout sensor H20s = on → first payout Since the sensor state transition is as follows: sensor H10s = off, second payout sensor H20s = on → first payout sensor H10s = off, second payout sensor H20s = off, if a movement contrary to this sensor state transition is detected, , It can be exemplified that it is configured to be an error.

Next, FIG. 5 is a list of basic specifications of the rotating cylinder type gaming machine in the present embodiment. The rotating cylinder type game machine according to the present embodiment has a specified number (maximum number of game medals that can be bet in one game) of 3, and the number of frames of the left reel M51, the middle reel M52, and the right reel M53 is 20. The effective line for which the winning is determined is one line of "left reel M51 upper stage, middle reel M52 middle stage, right reel M53 lower stage". The maximum number of payouts is 11, and the minimum number of payouts is one (the correspondence between the winning combination and the number of payouts will be described later). In addition, the priority winning order (pull-in priority order) is "replaying role-> small role (bell, watermelon, etc.)-> bonus". For example, when the replaying role and the bonus are established at the same time, , The symbol combination that will be the replay role is stopped and displayed, and the bonus cannot be won. In addition, when the bell and watermelon are established, if the stop button is pressed at the position where both can be pulled in (the position within 4 frames to the winning stop position), priority is given to the small winning combination with a large number of payouts. It is configured to retract. The configuration shown in the figure is just an example, and the number of frames on each reel can be changed (for example, changed to 21 frames), or the configuration of effective lines can be changed (for example, 5 horizontal lines and 2 diagonal lines). There is no problem even if the line is changed to one line of the left reel M51 lower, the middle reel M52 middle, and the right reel M53 upper). In addition, as a pull-in control when a push order small winning combination that gives different benefits to the player depending on the pushing order is won, a small winning combination with a large number of payouts is performed when the push order is operated in a predetermined correct push order. Is controlled to be pulled in with priority (number of sheets priority control), and if the operation is performed in the wrong answer pressing order different from the correct answer pressing order, the stop display is possible (within 4 frames from the stop operation). Control (number priority control) is performed to increase the possibility of winning among the (arranged) symbols (the most likely to win among the combinations of multiple symbols that can be won).

Next, FIG. 6 is a list of reel arrangements of the rotating cylinder type gaming machine in the present embodiment. As shown in the figure, the number of frames of the left reel M51, the middle reel M52, and the right reel M53 are all 20 frames (Nos. 0 to 19), and the symbols are "Black Seven", "White Seven", and " There are 10 types: "sheep", "blank", "bell", "replay A", "replay B", "watermelon A", "watermelon B", and "cherry". Here, the "blank" is a symbol included in the symbol combination constituting the winning combination like the other symbols, and does not mean a symbol not constituting the winning combination, but a symbol constituting the winning combination including the "blank". As a combination, for example, "Watermelon B / Replay A / Blank" is replay 02. The configuration shown in the figure is just an example, and there is no problem even if the type of symbol is increased / decreased or changed.

Next, FIGS. 7 to 9 are a list of symbol combinations 1 to 3 in the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, there are a plurality of symbol combinations for each condition device, and as will be described later, depending on the stop order and stop position of the left reel M51, the middle reel M52, and the right reel M53. It is configured so that one of the symbol combinations is stopped and displayed on the effective line (the above-mentioned one line). Even if the same type of symbols are not aligned on the effective line, it is easy for the player to align the same symbols in a row on the line other than the effective line (in the case of watermelon, in the middle row). Three watermelon symbols are aligned in a straight line on any of the reels, such as in a straight line). Further, in the present embodiment, a combination of symbols serving as a first-class BB combination (a so-called first-class special accessory continuous operation device, which may be simply referred to as a BB combination) is used. Type 1 BB-A (RB-A is operated continuously and ends with a payout of more than 264 sheets) "Sheep / Sheep / Sheep" and Type 1 BB-B (RB-B is operated continuously to end 132 sheets) "Black Seven / Black Seven / Black Seven" that will end with a payout that exceeds, and "White Seven / White Seven / that will end with a payout of more than 132 sheets by continuously operating RB-B). It has three symbol combinations with "White Seven". In the present embodiment, when the first-class BB combination is won and the BB is executed (the accessory is activated), one in all the games in the BB during the execution of the BB. It is configured to draw a winning combination (small combination, replaying combination) other than the winning combination by referring to the lottery table (a method in which the table to be referred to during the combination lottery is not switched during the execution of one BB). (Hereinafter, it may be referred to as an all-JACIN type). The format of the first-class BB combination is not limited to this, and the table referred to at the time of the combination lottery may be switched during the execution of one BB. Further, when the RT state is "RT1" and the symbol combination corresponding to the 14th to 16th replays 04 is stopped and displayed, the process shifts to RT0 (for details on the RT state, refer to the details of the RT state. Will be described later). Since "RT0" is in an RT state that is more disadvantageous to the player than "RT1", the transition from "RT1" to "RT0" may be referred to as a fall. Further, when the symbol combination corresponding to the 17th replay 05 is stopped and displayed, "Black Seven" can be stopped and displayed in the lower row of the left reel M51, the middle reel M52, and the right reel M53, and the number 18 is displayed. When the symbol combination that becomes the corresponding replay 05 is stopped and displayed, "white seven" can be stopped and displayed in the lower row of the left reel M51, the middle reel M52, and the right reel M53 (details will be described later). ). In addition, when the push order bell, which is the condition device of "winning-A1" to "winning-A6" described later, is won, if the reels are stopped in the pushing order most advantageous to the player, the reels are numbered 21 to 27. The symbol combinations corresponding to "Prize 01" to "Prize 03" are stopped and displayed, and 11 game medals are paid out, while the reels are stopped in a push order different from the push order that is most advantageous for the player. , The symbol combinations of "winning 08" to "winning 11" corresponding to the 39th to 56th are stopped and displayed, and one game medal is paid out. In addition, "-" in the figure indicates that any symbol may be stopped and displayed. For example, "bell-bell" corresponding to No. 23 is an effective line of the left reel M51 and the right reel M53. If the bell is stopped and displayed on the top, 11 game medals can be obtained regardless of which symbol is stopped and displayed on the effective line of the middle reel M52.

Next, FIG. 10 is a list of condition devices according to this embodiment. In the figure, the conditional device number is referred to as a winning number, and the conditional device number may be referred to as a winning number thereafter. In the present embodiment, the re-game combinations are provided from re-game-A to re-game-D3 (winning numbers 1 to 6), and are set to the stop order and stop position of the left reel M51, the middle reel M52, and the right reel M53. Depending on the situation, the re-game combination to be stopped and displayed may be different. Here, in the present embodiment, as shown in the item of "conditional apparatus" in the rightmost column, a plurality of left reels M51, middle reels M52, and right reels M53 are used according to the stop order and stop position. It is configured so that different types of condition devices can be stopped and displayed, and among the multiple types of condition devices, the condition devices with the same winning number are grouped together and are in the third column from the right, "condition device (name)". It is illustrated in the item of. Specifically, for example, in the "replay-A" condition device corresponding to the winning number 1, "replay" is performed according to the stop order and stop position of the left reel M51, the middle reel M52, and the right reel M53. Three types of condition devices, "01", "re-game 02", and "re-game 03", are configured to be stopped and displayed. The "conditional device (name)" may be simply referred to as a conditional device. In addition, a condition device related to a re-game such as "re-game 01" may be referred to as a re-game combination, and a condition device in which a game medal is paid out by winning a prize such as "winning 01" may be referred to as a small role. A condition device in which the BB starts when a stop display such as "Type 1 BB-A" is displayed may be referred to as a BB combination. In addition, if the winning numbers 21 to 23 and 25 to 27 are won, the BB combination and the small combination will be won in duplicate, and in such a case, the symbol corresponding to the winning small combination will be stopped. When the left stop button D41, the middle stop button D42, and the right stop button D43 are operated at positions where they can be displayed, the symbol corresponding to the BB combination is not stopped and the symbol corresponding to the small combination is stopped and displayed, while the symbol corresponding to the small combination is stopped and displayed. When the left stop button D41, middle stop button D42 and right stop button D43 are operated at a position where the corresponding symbol does not stop and display (cannot be retracted), the symbol corresponding to the small combination does not stop and the symbol corresponding to the BB combination is not displayed. Is configured to stop and display. Specifically, for example, in the case of winning "Type 1 BB-B + Winning-C" which is the condition device of winning number 21, "Winning 12" or "Winning 13" cherry and "Type 1 BB" Any of the black sevens that are "-B" can be stopped and displayed. More specifically, when the reels are stopped in the order of left reel M51 → middle reel M52 → right reel M53, (1) symbol numbers 0 to 4 are placed on the upper stage of the left reel M51 at the first stop (FIG. 6). When the left stop button D41 is operated at the operation timing at which (see the reel arrangement of) is located, the symbol number 4 corresponding to "winning 12" is stopped at the upper stage of the left reel M51, and the middle reel M52. And regardless of the stop position of the right reel M53, "winning 12" is stopped and displayed. (2) When the left stop button D41 is operated at the operation timing in which the symbol numbers 5 to 12 are located on the upper stage of the left reel M51 at the first stop, "winning 13" is displayed on the upper stage of the left reel M51. The symbol numbers 6, 11, or 16 corresponding to the above are stopped, and "winning 13" is stopped and displayed regardless of the stop positions of the middle reel M52 and the right reel M53. (3-1) When the left stop button D41 is operated at the operation timing in which the symbol numbers 13 to 19 are located on the upper stage of the left reel M51 at the first stop, "1" is displayed on the upper stage of the left reel M51. The symbol number 17 or 19 corresponding to "Seed BB-B" stops. (3-2) When the middle stop button D42 is operated at the operation timing in which the symbol numbers 14 to 18 are located in the middle of the middle reel M52 at the second stop, "1" is placed in the middle of the middle reel M52. The symbol number 18 corresponding to "Seed BB-B" is stopped, and then the right stop button D43 is operated at the operation timing when the symbol numbers 13 to 17 are located at the lower stage of the right reel M53 at the third stop. In that case, the symbol number 17 corresponding to "Type 1 BB-B" is stopped at the lower stage of the right reel M53, and the BB combination is stopped and displayed. (3-3) When the middle stop button D42 is operated at the operation timing in which symbol numbers 19 to 13 are located in the middle of the middle reel M52 at the second stop, "1" is placed in the middle of the middle reel M52. The symbol number 18 corresponding to "Type BB-B" cannot be stopped, and none of the condition devices is stopped and displayed.

Next, in the "role" item, what kind of role the "condition device (name)" plays is illustrated, and the "normal replay" corresponding to the winning number 1 is in the order in which the stop button is pressed. Regardless, it is a condition device related to the re-game in which the re-game combination whose RT state does not shift is stopped and displayed, and the "reverse push white 7 set replay" corresponding to the winning number 2 is RT regardless of the order in which the stop buttons are pressed. It is a condition device related to the re-game in which the re-game combination whose state does not change is stopped and displayed. However, when the reel is pushed backward (the reels are stopped in the order of right reel M53 → middle reel M52 → left reel M51), the right reel M53 The range of symbol numbers 18 to 2, the range of symbol numbers 9 to 13 of the middle reel M52, and the range of symbol numbers 5 to 10 of the left reel M51 are stopped at the operation timing located at the bottom of each reel. By operating the button, "White Seven" is stopped and displayed on the lower row of the right reel M53, middle reel M52, and left reel M51, and it is configured so that the white sevens appear to be aligned on the lower row from the player's point of view. There is. In addition, in the game that won the re-game-B and won the AT addition lottery, the AT addition lottery was won by executing the effect (details will be described later) to instruct to aim at "White Seven" by pushing backward. It is configured to notify the player to that effect. The "forward push black 7 set replay" corresponding to the winning number 3 is a condition device related to the replay in which the replay combination in which the RT state does not shift is stopped and displayed regardless of the order in which the stop buttons are pressed. By stopping the reels in the order of left reel M51 → middle reel M52 → right reel M53), the range of symbol numbers 13 to 19 of the left reel M51, the range of symbol numbers 14 to 18 of the middle reel M52, and the right reel. By operating the stop button at the operation timing when the range of symbol numbers 13 to 17 of M53 is located at the bottom of each reel, "Black Seven" is placed at the bottom of the left reel M51, middle reel M52, and right reel M53. Is stopped and displayed, and it is configured so that the black sevens appear to be aligned in the lower row when viewed from the player. In addition, in the game that won the re-game-C and won the AT addition lottery, the AT addition lottery was won by executing the effect (details will be described later) instructing to aim for "Black Seven" by pushing forward. It is configured to notify the player to that effect.

In addition, the "RT maintenance RP1 ** (3 choices)" corresponding to the winning number 4 determines whether the first stop reel is the left reel M51, the middle reel M52, or the right reel M53 (operate any stop button). It is a condition device in which the re-game combination displayed as stopped may differ depending on (), and when the first stop reel is the left reel M51, the RT state does not shift to re-game 01, re-game 02, or re-game 03. Is stopped, and when the first stop reel is the middle reel M52 or the right reel M53, the replay 04 in which the RT state can shift from "RT1" to "RT0" is stopped and displayed. In addition, the "RT maintenance RP * 1 * (3 choices)" corresponding to the winning number 5 determines whether the first stop reel is the left reel M51, the middle reel M52, or the right reel M53 (operate any stop button). It is a condition device in which the re-game combination displayed as stopped may be different depending on (whether or not), and when the first stop reel is set to the middle reel M52, the re-game 03 in which the RT state does not shift is stopped and displayed, and the first When the stop reel is the left reel M51 or the right reel M53, the replay 04 in which the RT state can shift from "RT1" to "RT0" is stopped and displayed. In addition, "RT maintenance RP ** 1 (3 choices)" corresponding to winning number 6 determines whether the first stop reel is the left reel M51, the middle reel M52, or the right reel M53 (operate any stop button). It is a condition device in which the re-game combination displayed as stopped may differ depending on (whether or not), and when the first stop reel is the right reel M53, the re-game 01 or the re-game 03 in which the RT state does not shift is displayed as a stop. Then, when the first stop reel is the left reel M51 or the middle reel M52, the replay 04 in which the RT state can shift from "RT1" to "RT0" is stopped and displayed.

Further, the "push order bell 123" to "push order bell 321" corresponding to the winning numbers 7 to 12 are conditional devices in which the small winning combination may differ depending on which of the six reel stop orders is selected. For example, "left reel M51: 1, middle reel M52: 2, right reel M53: 3", and in the case of "123", stop in the push order of "left reel M51 → middle reel M52 → right reel M53". For example, in the case of "winning A-1" (winning number 7), stopping in the order of "123" = "left → middle → right" (correct answer in the order of pressing) is the maximum number of winnings. The combination of symbols that will be the "winning 01" that can win 11 game medals will be stopped and displayed. In addition, "123" and the like of "push order bell 123" indicate the push order (reel stop order) in which the maximum number of winning sheets in the winning number can be obtained. In addition, when the reels are stopped in a pushing order other than the pushing order in which the maximum number of winning sheets can be obtained, that is, if the correct answer cannot be obtained in the pushing order, one reel is paid out. Then, in the state related to AT such as "AT in progress", the push order of the re-game combination and the push order of the bell are navigated (the push order that gives the highest profit is displayed on the push order display device D270), and the "normal game state" is displayed. It is possible to create a plurality of gaming states in which the profit margins of the players are different so that the push order is not navigated to the AT-related states such as. The state related to AT will be described later.

In addition, the "common bell" corresponding to the winning number 13 can obtain 11 game medals, which is the maximum number of medals, regardless of which of the winning 04 to the winning 07 is stopped, that is, the maximum profit is obtained regardless of the pushing order. It is a conditional device that can be acquired, and is sometimes called a bell regardless of the push order. Further, the "watermelon A" corresponding to the winning number 15 is configured so that three watermelons (either watermelon A or watermelon B) can be easily aligned on the parallel line. For example, the 60th prize in FIG. 9 is won. In No. 14, three watermelons A are aligned in the middle of each reel. Further, the "watermelon B" corresponding to the winning number 16 is configured so that three watermelons (either watermelon A or watermelon B) can be easily aligned on the diagonal line. For example, the prize number 66 in FIG. 9 is awarded. In No. 16, three watermelons are arranged diagonally downward to the right, such as watermelon B on the upper stage of the left reel M51, watermelon B on the middle stage of the middle reel M52, and watermelon A on the lower stage of the right reel M53. In addition, the "BB medium and weak rare small role (diagonal bell alignment)" corresponding to the winning number 17 is a condition device in which three bells can be aligned on the effective line, and details will be described later, but the winning is done during the BB. It is a condition device in which the AT addition lottery is executed by doing so. Further, the "BB medium-strong rare small role (V-shaped bell alignment)" corresponding to the winning number 18 is a condition device in which the bell can be stopped and displayed on the left reel M51 upper stage, the middle reel M52 middle stage, and the right reel M53 upper stage. Although the details will be described later, it is a conditional device in which the AT addition lottery is executed by winning during the BB.

Next, in the item of "bonus winning information", numerical values from 0 to 3 are assigned to each winning number. In the present embodiment, the winning number that does not include the bonus (BB role) has the bonus winning information set to 0, and the winning number that includes the bonus (BB role) is the winning number (19) that includes one type BB-A. Bonus winning information of 1, 1 type BB-B included winning number (20-23) bonus winning information 2, 1 type BB-C included winning number (24-27) bonus winning information 3 It is said. By storing the bonus winning information in the main control board M, it is possible to store information relating to which BB is established and which BB combination is won. The details of the bonus winning information will be described later.

Next, in the item of "winning / replay winning information", numerical values from 0 to 18 are assigned to each winning number. In the present embodiment, the winning numbers (winning numbers 0 corresponding to the loss and winning numbers 19/20/24 corresponding to the bonus) that do not include the re-game winning combination and the small winning combination are set to 0 for the winning / re-game winning information. , 1 to 18 winning / re-gaming winning information is distributed to each condition device for the winning number including the re-gaming combination or the small winning combination. By storing the winning / re-game winning information in the main control board M, it is possible to store the information relating to which re-game combination or small combination is won. The details of the winning / replay winning information will be described later.

Next, in the item of "effect group number", numerical values from 0 to 11 are assigned to each winning number. By transmitting the effect group number from the main control board M side to the sub control board S side, the effect to be executed by the sub control board S side can be determined. The details of the production group number will be described later.

Next, in the item of "ball output group number", numerical values from 0 to 13 are assigned to each winning number. The main control board M stores the ball ejection group number, and the stored ball ejection group number is used when executing a lottery related to AT (for example, AT lottery, AT addition lottery) to execute a lottery process related to AT. It is possible to reduce the program and data capacity for this. Even if the condition device in which the payout group number is 0 is won, the AT lottery and the AT addition lottery are not executed. On the other hand, when the conditional device whose payout group number is not 0 is won, the AT lottery or the AT addition lottery can be executed. The details of the payout group number will be described later. Further, even when the condition device in which the payout group number is 0 is won, the AT lottery or the AT addition lottery may be executed, and in such a configuration, the payout group number is set. When the condition device to be 0 is won and the AT lottery or the AT addition lottery is executed, it is preferable to configure so that the lottery result is always lost (non-winning).

Next, FIG. 11 shows a lottery probability in which the winning numbers (also referred to as conditional device numbers and winning combinations) and bonuses (also referred to as BB and BB combinations) relating to the small winning combination and the replaying combination in the present embodiment are determined by the winning combination lottery means. It is a list showing (also called a winning rate). In the figure, the winning rate of the winning number is shown.

First, the lottery probabilities in "RT0", "RT1" and "RT2" when the BB is not operating will be described in detail. In the present embodiment, the appearance rate (lottery probability) of the winning combination (particularly, the re-game combination) can be different depending on the RT state, and the "re-game combination" (the total appearance of all the re-game combinations) appears. The rate) is higher in the case of "RT1" than in other RT states. In addition, "re-game 04" (a so-called fall re-game combination, "RT1", and a symbol corresponding to the re-game combination in a situation where the bonus is not won, which can be stopped and displayed at winning numbers 4 to 6. When the combination is stopped and displayed, it will shift to "RT0" thereafter) is mainly won in "RT1", and almost never appears in "RT0". In "RT2", "re-game 04" that can be stopped and displayed at winning numbers 4 to 6 may appear, but even if "re-game 04" is stopped and displayed, the RT state does not shift. When "re-game 04" is stopped and displayed in "RT1", it shifts to "RT0", that is, it is an effect of notifying that the RT state has fallen (for example, effect display device S40). (Displayed as "Sorry") is executed, and when "Replay 04" is stopped and displayed in "RT0", the fall effect may not be executed. With such a configuration, it is possible to recognize that the player has won the BB because the fall effect was not executed even though the "re-game 04" was stopped and displayed. You can improve your sex. In addition, in such a configuration, the sound effect output when "re-game 04" is stopped and displayed and the re-game combination other than "re-game 04" (for example, "re-game" in which the RT state does not shift) The sound effect output when "01") is stopped and displayed may be different from the sound effect, and the player recognizes that "re-game 04" is stopped and displayed by such a configuration. It can be easily configured. Further, there are cases related to AT in which push order navigation does not occur (for example, "normal gaming state" and may be referred to as non-AT gaming state) and states related to AT in which push order navigation can occur (for example, "" It may stay in "RT1" in both cases of "AT in progress" and sometimes referred to as AT gaming state). At this time, when the winning number that may shift (fall) from "RT1" to "RT0" is won, a special sound effect indicating that the RT state may fall in the non-AT game state is played. It may be configured not to output based on the operation of the start lever D50. As a result, it is possible to shift the gaming state without letting the player realize that there is a possibility of falling to "RT0" in the non-AT gaming state. On the other hand, in the AT game state, a special sound effect indicating that the RT state may fall is output based on the operation of the start lever (and the re-game combination in which the RT state does not fall is stopped and displayed. It may be configured to notify the forward navigation). As a result, the player can operate the stop button D40 after the special sound effect is notified, being careful not to let the RT state fall. In addition, "re-game 05" (re-game role that can notify that the lottery has been won by adding AT when the stop is displayed in the AT state) that can be stopped and displayed at the winning number 2 or 3 is mainly "RT1". It appears in, and almost never appears in other RT states. The transition of the state related to the RT state accompanying the stop display of the symbol combination that serves as the replaying combination will be described later. Further, as will be described later, in the present embodiment, the push order navigation for notifying the player of the reel stop order, which is most advantageous to the player, can be executed by the push order display device D270 and the effect display device S40. .. There is no problem even if the lottery probability is changed as appropriate. Further, in the present embodiment, the bonus is configured so that it can overlap with the small winning combination, and overlaps with a part of watermelon A, watermelon B, and cherry. Specifically, the winning numbers 21 to 23 and the winning numbers 25 to 27 are conditional devices in which the bonus and the small winning combination overlap.

Further, in the situation of "RT2", since the BB has been won and the BB is not in operation, the BB roles of the winning numbers 20 and 24 (single roles that do not overlap with the small roles). If a BB role is won, which may be referred to as a single BB role or a single BB), the new winning of the BB role is invalid, and only the winning of the small role is valid. Specifically, for example, in the case of "RT2" and winning (carrying over) the 1st class BB-A, the winning number 24 "1st class BB-C" is won. , Class 1 BB-C related to the winning number 24 becomes invalid. That is, the situation is the same as when the winning number 0 "loss" is won. In addition, the carry-over type 1 BB-A will continue to be in the winning state. Further, in the situation of "RT2", since the BB has been won and the BB is not operating, the small winning combination of the winning numbers 21 to 23 and the winning numbers 25 to 27 and the BB role are If the overlapping conditional devices are won, the new winning of the BB combination is invalid, and only the winning of the small combination is valid. Specifically, for example, in the situation where the player is "RT2" and has won (carried over) the 1st class BB-A, he / she won the "1st class BB-B + winning-C" winning number 21. In that case, Type 1 BB-B related to the winning number 21 becomes invalid, and only winning-C becomes valid. That is, the situation is the same as when the winning number 14 "winning-C" is won. In addition, the carry-over type 1 BB-A will continue to be in the winning state. It should be noted that the overlap with the bonus is not limited to the small role, and may overlap with a part of the replay role. For example, a part of the re-game combination of winning numbers 4 to 6 may overlap with the bonus combination. In this way, by making the bonus overlap with the conditional device including the RT transition replay (replaying role in which the RT state can be transitioned), the bonus is also won when the conditional device including the RT transition replay is won. There is a possibility, and even if the RT transition replay is stopped and displayed, the bonus will not be denied, so it is possible to give the player expectations. In the case of such a configuration, the RT state is controlled so as not to shift even if the RT transition replay is stopped and displayed. As a result, the player should have shifted the RT state (shifted to the RT state where the replay probability is relatively low), but the replay probability is not low (frequently won the replay), etc. Therefore, it is possible to enhance the interest in the game, such as the possibility of winning the bonus.

Next, the lottery probability in "Type 1 BB-A, B, C" at the time of BB operation will be described in detail. In the present embodiment, while the BB is in operation, the winning number 13 "common bell", the winning number 17 "BB medium weak rare small role (diagonal bell alignment)", and the winning number 18 "BB medium strong rare small role" (V-shaped bell alignment) "is configured so that three small roles can be won, and while the BB won in" AT in progress "is operating," BB medium weak rare small role (diagonal bell alignment) " Alternatively, if the player wins the "BB medium-strong rare small role (V-shaped bell alignment)", the AT addition lottery is executed (details will be described later).

Further, in the upper part of the figure, the appearance rate of small wins when the set value is 1 is illustrated, and in the common bell (winning number 13), the appearance rate is uniform regardless of the RT state. As shown in the lower part of the figure, the appearance rate of the common bell is configured to differ depending on the set value (6 steps in this example). Specifically, the number in setting 1 is 3204, the number in setting 2 is 3404, the number in setting 3 is 3604, the number in setting 4 is 3904, the number in setting 5 is 4204, and the number in setting 6 is Is 4504, and the higher the set value, the higher the appearance rate. With this configuration, for example, when a player advances a game while measuring the number of appearances (winning times) of a common bell, the common bell is frequently won, thereby relating to the gaming machine being played. The game can be advanced with the expectation that the set value is a relatively high set value. Further, the higher the set value, the higher the expected value per game, and the higher the set value, the higher the ball output rate. The appearance rate of the common bell is configured to differ depending on the set value, but depending on the winning of the common bell, the AT lottery, the AT addition lottery, and the high-probability state transition lottery, which will be described later, are not executed. It is configured so as not to affect the transition lottery of the state related to (also referred to as the lottery related to AT).

In addition, the middle part of the figure is a list of expected values when there is push order navigation. In the figure, when the push order navigation is executed in a state where the push order navigation can be executed by the push order display device D270 and the effect display device S40 such as "AT in progress state", the reel is stopped according to the navigation. The average number of medals paid out per game (the average number of medals paid out by the winning small wins, also called the expected number of game media obtained in one game) and the expected value of medal increase / decrease per game ( It is the ratio of the number of medals to be paid out to the number of medals to be inserted when playing with a 3-card bet. The value becomes negative and the number of medals decreases). The average number of payouts per game is "total number of replays (total number of replays 1 to 6) x number of replays (3) + small wins (11). Sum of the number of placements (small combination appearance rate) of the combination (total number of placements for winning numbers 7 to 16) x number of payouts (11 sheets) in the small combination (11-card combination) / total number of all placements (65536) ) ”Can be calculated. Further, the expected value of increase / decrease in medals per game can be calculated as "average number of medals paid out per game / number of medals inserted per game (3 cards)". The number of medals inserted per game (the number of game media inserted when playing one game) is three, and if the average number of payouts per game is greater than 3, medals are expected to increase or decrease per game. The value is configured to be greater than 1. As shown in the figure, in the present embodiment, the expected value of medal increase / decrease per game of "RT1" is relatively large. The figures in the figure do not take into account the increase or decrease in medals due to bonuses. That is, when the game is advanced in the situation where the push order navigation occurs (it is also referred to as the case where the operation is performed in the optimum operation mode or the case where the operation is performed in the advantageous operation mode), the number of medals increases in "RT1". Although not shown in "RT0" and "RT2", the expected value of medal increase / decrease per game is less than 1 under the condition that the push order navigation does not occur, and the medal. Will decrease. In addition, in this embodiment, even in "RT0" or "RT2", the expected value of medal increase / decrease per game is larger than 1 when there is push order navigation, but the expected value is not limited to 1, and "RT0" is not limited to this. Or "RT2", the expected value of medal increase / decrease per game when there is push order navigation may be smaller than 1. In addition, when the symbol combination to be the re-game combination is stopped and displayed, the number of bets (3) in the previous game is actually automatically bet, but in calculating the expected value of medal increase / decrease in this embodiment, medals are used. It is calculated on the assumption that 3 medals are paid out. In addition, one game may be referred to as one game.

In addition, the average number of payouts per game in each RT state is 3.511291504 when the RT state is "RT0" and 4.737915039 when the RT state is "RT1", which is the RT state. In the case of "RT2", it is 3.67137146. Further, the expected value of medal increase / decrease per game in each RT state is 1.170430501 when the RT state is "RT0" and 1.579305013 when the RT state is "RT1", which is the RT state. Is 1.223790487 when is "RT2", and when there is push order navigation, the RT state is "RT1", which is the most advantageous RT state for the player. The numerical value is the value when the setting is 1. The winning numbers and bonus lottery probabilities for the small wins and replays are just examples. For example, the expected value of medal increase / decrease per game in "RT2" where BB is being established internally (when there is push order navigation). The expected value of increase / decrease in medals) may be configured to be less than 1. With such a configuration, when push order navigation occurs and when it is "RT2" (when BB is being established internally), when the bonus is not aligned in the game where the bonus can be aligned. However, the number of medals held will gradually decrease, and in the situation where push order navigation occurs and when it is "RT2" (when BB is being established internally), it is intentional in a game where bonuses can be arranged. It is possible to prevent a strategy that increases the number of medals held by not arranging bonuses. Specifically, it is preferable to design so that the probability of losing in "RT2" is higher than the winning probability of all the small wins (winning-A1 to winning-I) won in "RT2". It is preferable to determine the winning probability of the re-game combination so that it is designed as follows (If the winning probability of the re-game combination is designed high, the probability of losing is reduced by that amount, so the winning probability of the re-game combination is high. It is preferable to design it so that it does not become too much). In "RT2" of this example, the winning probability of all the small wins is 18784/65536, the total winning probability of all the replays is 12501/65536, and the probability of losing is It is 34251/65536 (see FIG. 11), and it is designed so that the probability of losing is higher than the winning probability of all the small wins combined.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11, in the present embodiment, the appearance rate of the first type BB-A is assigned to 40, which is the same number for all of the settings 1 to 6. Further, the appearance rate of the first type BB-C is 160, which is the same number for all of the settings 1 to 6. On the other hand, as for the appearance rate of the first type BB-B, 160 is assigned to the setting 1, 180 is assigned to the setting 2, 200 is assigned to the setting 3, and the setting 4 is assigned. 220 is assigned, 240 is assigned to setting 5, and 270 is assigned to setting 6. That is, the appearance rate of the first type BB-B differs depending on the set value. In this way, Type 1 BB-A and Type 1 BB-C are BBs with no setting difference (Type 1 BB-A, Type 1 BB-C may be referred to as BB without setting difference and bonus without setting difference). The type 1 BB-B functions as a BB with a setting difference (the type 1 BB-B may be referred to as a BB with a setting difference and a bonus with a setting difference). In addition, the appearance rate of all of Type 1 BB-A, Type 1 BB-B and Type 1 BB-C is uniform regardless of the RT state (in "RT0" and "RT1"). The appearance rate of type 1 BB-A and type 1 BB-C (total) is the same regardless of the set value, but the appearance rate of type 1 BB-B (total) differs depending on the set value. The total appearance rate of the first type BB-B is the same even if the set value is different, but the appearance rate for each winning number may be configured to be different depending on the set value. Even when configured, type 1 BB-B may be referred to as BB with a setting difference.

Next, with reference to the block diagram of FIG. 12, the electrical schematic configuration of the rotating cylinder type game machine P according to the present embodiment will be described.

Here, the rotating cylinder backlight S30 is a light provided inside each of the left reel M51, the middle reel M52, and the right reel M53, and illuminates the pattern drawn on the surface of the reel from the back side. The sub-control board S analyzes the control commands received from the main control board M and outputs various drive signals to the various LED lamps S10, the speaker S20, the effect display device S40, the rotating cylinder backlight S30, and the like. We are directing. In the rotating drum type gaming machine according to this example, the player covers nine ranges of the upper, middle, and lower stages of the left reel, the upper stage, middle stage, lower stage of the middle reel, and the upper stage, middle stage, and lower stage of the right reel. A plurality of LEDs are provided as the reel backlight S30 so that they can be individually identified. As an example, the LED corresponding to the upper stage of the left reel is lit, and all the other LEDs are turned off, so that the player can identify that the upper stage of the left reel is lit. Further, in the rotating cylinder type gaming machine according to this example, when the predetermined symbol combination is stopped and displayed, the player indicates that the predetermined symbol combination is stopped and displayed by changing the lighting mode of the rotating cylinder backlight S30. It is configured so that the backlight effect (sometimes called the backlight effect) suggested in is feasible.

On the door substrate D, the above-mentioned input reception sensor D10s, the first input sensor D20s, the second input sensor D30s, the stop button D40 for stopping the rotating reel M50, and the start for starting the rotation of the reel M50.

The input number indicator light D210, start lamp D180, replay lamp D290, insertable lamp D300, special game status display device D250, payout number display device (push order display device) D270 are credit number display device D200, advantageous section. A collection of display devices such as the display YH}, a door switch D80 for determining the opening / closing of the front door, canceling an error, and changing a set value, a game medal (or a game medal) judged to be incompatible after being inserted. , Other foreign matter) is connected to a blocker D100 or the like for refunding to the discharge port D240. Further, the door board D is connected to the main control board M described above so as to exchange data. Therefore, when the start lever D50, the stop button D40, the settlement button D60, etc. provided on the front door DU are operated, a signal related to the operation is supplied to the main control board M via the door board D. ing. Further, the signal that the insertion reception sensor D10s detects the passage of the game medal is also supplied to the main control board M via the door board D.

Further, a rotating cylinder motor K10 for rotating the reel M50, a rotating cylinder sensor K20 for detecting the rotation position of the reel M50, and the like are connected to the rotating cylinder substrate K. The reel M50 can be stopped at a determined stop position by driving the reel motor K10 while detecting the rotation position of the reel M50 by the reel sensor K20. There is. Further, in the rotating cylinder type gaming machine of the present embodiment, a so-called step motor (sometimes referred to as a stepping motor) is used for the rotating cylinder motor K10. In the step motor, 480 steps are set as the number of steps for the reel M50 to rotate once. Further, each reel (left reel M51, middle reel M52, right reel M53) is set with a predetermined number (for example, 20) symbols having a substantially uniform size, and the number of steps corresponding to one symbol is set. Is set to 24 steps (= 480/20). There is no problem even if the number of steps and the number of symbols per reel lap are changed.

Further, the medal payout device H is connected to the main control board M via the relay board IN, and pays a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game medals based on the control signal from the main control board M. Perform the operation to put out. The medal payout device H is provided with a first payout sensor H10s and a second payout sensor H20s, and a disk H50, which determine whether or not the medals have been paid out normally and measure the number of game medals paid out. A hopper motor H80 for rotating is connected to the hopper motor H80.

These various control boards and the electric power consumed by the boards are supplied from the power supply board E (the board that controls the presence / absence of power supply by the power supply switch E10). In FIG. 12, a state in which power is supplied from the power supply board E is represented by a broken line arrow. As shown in the drawing, electric power is directly supplied from the power supply board E to the main control board M and the sub control board S, and various boards (door board D, rotating cylinder board K, relay board IN) are supplied with electric power. Power is supplied via the main control board M. A predetermined amount (for example, 100 V) of AC voltage is supplied to the power supply board E, and after converting this power into a DC voltage of a specified voltage, it is supplied to each control board and board.

Further, on the main control board M, a setting key switch M20 used for executing the setting change device control process described later (for changing the setting), a setting / reset capable of changing the setting value, canceling an error, etc. Button M30, is connected. Further, the main control board M is a state related to a reel control means for controlling the rotation and stopping of the reels M50 (left reel M51, middle reel M52, right reel M53) and AT which is advantageous for the player. AT lottery means to execute AT transition lottery to shift to, and AT addition lottery to increase the number of remaining AT games (or the counter value of AT counter M60), which is the number of games that can stay in the "AT in progress state". It has an AT addition lottery means to be executed.

Next, FIGS. 13 to 36 are flowcharts showing a general flow of processing performed by the main control board M in the present embodiment.

The flowchart is mainly composed of terminals (shown in rounded rectangles) indicating processing steps (shown in rectangles), judgments (shown in diamonds), flow lines (arrows), start / end / return, etc. ing. Further, when the details of the processing steps are illustrated by another flowchart, the one that refers to the other flowchart is illustrated as a subroutine (shown by a rectangle in which the left and right lines are double lines). .. Here, at the development stage of the game machine, it is also performed to develop the game machine with different specifications at the same time, but in this example, the subroutine (which is executed by the game machine with different specifications) is executed in the processing on the main side. It is configured so as not to leave subroutines that are not normally used), and prevents processing related to unused subroutines that are not normally executed due to noise or cheating.

First, FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing that is executed for the first time on the CPUC100 of the main control board M after the power of the rotating cylinder type game machine P is turned on (or at the time of system reset or user reset). .. First, in step 1000, the power of the rotating drum type game machine P is turned on, and then in step 1002, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes the initial setting of the timer interrupt (here, the timer interrupt is started). Instead, it only sets the type of timer interrupt, and in the subsequent processing, when the timer interrupt is started, the flowchart related to the timer interrupt processing described later is periodically executed). Next, in step 1004, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes serial communication settings (speed, data length, data transmission method setting) and the like as function settings of the main control chip C. Next, in step 1006, the CPUC100 of the main control board M calculates the checksum from the start address of the RAM area to the address immediately before the checksum area. Next, in step 1008, the CPUC100 of the main control board M checks the RAM area (for example, the power is turned off and the power is turned off and restored based on the calculated checksum and the checksum data held in the checksum area. (Checks whether the data stored in the built-in RAMC 120 is correctly held) and generates power-off / recovery data. Next, in step 1010, the CPUC100 of the main control board M confirms the switch state of the setting key switch M20. Next, in step 1014, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the setting key switch M20 is off.

In the case of Yes in step 1014, in step 1016, the CPUC100 of the main control board M turns on / off the power off processing flag in the RAM (turns on in step 1904) and the checksum state of all the RAMs (in step 1006). (Check result of) is referred to, and it is determined whether or not the power supply off / returning data in the RAM is normal. In the case of Yes in step 1016, in step 1020, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes the initialization of the RAM area within the determined initialization range. Next, in step 1022, the CPUC100 of the main control board M returns the stack pointer based on the data related to the stack pointer saved in the process when the power is turned off (step 1902). Next, in step 1036, the CPUC100 of the main control board M refers to the inside of the RAM area, and determines whether or not the data related to the set value in the RAM area is within the normal range (0 to 5 in this example). judge. In the case of Yes in step 1036, in step 1038, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes the reading of the input port. Next, in step 1040, the CPUC100 of the main control board M starts the timer interrupt set in step 1002. Next, in step 1042, the CPUC100 of the main control board M turns off the power off processing flag, and returns to the power off processing according to the returned stack pointer.

If No in step 1016, the CPUC100 of the main control board M sets the backup error display (for example, sets the error number in the register area) in step 1024. Next, in step 1300, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes a non-recoverable error process described later.

If No in step 1036, in step 1046, the CPUC100 of the main control board M sets a set value error display (for example, it will be displayed on the payout number display device D270) (for example, in the register area). Set to). Next, in step 1300, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes an unrecoverable error process described later.

If No in step 1014, in step 1028, the CPUC100 of the main control board M turns on / off the power off processing flag in the RAM (turns on in step 1904) and the checksum state of all RAMs (step 1904). (Check result in 1006) is referred to, and it is determined whether or not the power supply cutoff / recovery data in the RAM is normal. In the case of Yes in step 1028, in step 1030, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines and sets the initialization range of the RAM to a predetermined range excluding the storage area for storing the set value (set value data) in the RAM ( For example, it is set in the register area), and the process proceeds to step 1034. The range not included in the RAM initialization range is not limited to the storage area that stores the set value (set value data), but the total number of games in the "advantageous section" and the total cumulative number of game sections (advantageous section +). As a result of calculating the number of games (normal section) and the stay ratio of the "advantageous section", etc. are also within the range not included in the RAM initialization range. With this configuration, the ratio of staying in the "advantageous section" in the game (advantageous section ratio) can be calculated and displayed. Further, the calculation process of the advantageous section ratio is configured to be calculated at the timing when the unit game ends. The advantageous section ratio is displayed when the power of the game machine is turned on (for example, it is displayed on a 4-digit 7-segment display). As a specific display mode, it is repeated at 5-second intervals in the order of "advantageous section ratio-> continuous character ratio per 6000 games-> character ratio per 6000 games-> cumulative continuous character ratio-> cumulative character ratio". Is displayed. The continuous bonus ratio is "the number of payouts when the RB is operating / the total number of payouts", and the bonus ratio is the "number of payouts when the RB, CB, or SB is operating". / Total number of payouts ". On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1028, in step 1032, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines the initialization range of the RAM to a specific range including the storage area for storing the set value (set value data) in the RAM. It is set (for example, set in the register area), and the process proceeds to step 1034. Next, in step 1034, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes initialization of the RAM area within the initialization range determined in step 1030 or step 1032. Next, in step 1100, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes the setting change device control process described later.

Although not shown, it is preferable that the initial value (value at the start of processing) of the temporary storage area (RAM area, etc.) mounted on the main control board M is configured so as not to be a value at which a special game is executed. (To prevent the special game from being erroneously executed when the process of determining the execution of the special game is executed immediately after the start of the program processing due to noise or cheating). Further, although not shown, when a random number such as a winning random number is stored in the RAM area of the main control board M, a dedicated storage area is secured and the information related to the random number is stored in the byte. It is preferable to memorize only the information related to the random number (do not memorize other information such as various timer values) (when operating another data stored in the same 1 byte, due to noise or the like. To prevent the information related to random numbers from being rewritten).

Next, FIG. 14 is a flowchart of the setting change device control process according to the subroutine of step 1100 in FIG. 13, and is also referred to as a setting change mode. First, in step 1102, the CPUC100 of the main control board M sets the stack pointer (initializes with the start address of the process). Next, in step 1104, the CPUC100 of the main control board M activates a timer interrupt. Next, in step 1106, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the set value (set value data) in the RAM area is within the normal range (0 to 5 in this example). When the set value (set value data) is managed in 1 to 6, it is necessary to perform the initialization of the RAM and return it to "1" when the set value becomes "0". Therefore, in this example, by managing the normal range of the set value (set value data) as 0 to 5, the set value (set value data) is corrected after the RAM is initialized (step 1106 and). The processing of step 1108) can be eliminated, and the processing time can be shortened and the processing capacity can be reduced. In the case of Yes in step 1106, in step 1108, the CPUC100 of the main control board M sets a predetermined value (for example, 0 = the most disadvantageous value for the player) in the set value (set value data), and in step 1110. Transition. On the other hand, even if No in step 1106, the process proceeds to step 1110. Next, in step 1110, the CPUC100 of the main control board M indicates to the error display LED (for example, the payout number display device D270) that the setting change device is operating (for example, "88" for lighting all segments). Then, the set value is displayed on the setting display LED (not shown) (the display related to the set value is a numerical value obtained by adding 1 to the set value (set value data) held in the RAM), and step 1112. Move to. As described above, the payout number display device D270 is also used to notify the push order. Since it is configured in this way, for example, when a failure has occurred in a part of the 7-segment LED (there is a segment that cannot be turned on) and the push order is notified, incorrect information can be notified. possible. In order to prevent such a situation, by making the payout number display device D270 fully illuminate "88" of the 7-segment while the setting change device is operating, it can be confirmed whether or not the 7-segment is out of order, which is not suitable for the player. It is possible to prevent giving profits. Further, as a configuration related to the display of the set value (set value data), the storage of the RAM for displaying the set value for storing the data obtained by adding 1 to the set value (set value data) in the storage area for storing the set value. It may be configured to have an area and display a set value with reference to the storage area. Although not shown, after executing the process of step 1110, a process for transmitting a command indicating that the setting change mode has been entered is executed on the sub-control board S side.

Next, in step 1112, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the setting / reset button M30 has been switched from off to on. In the case of Yes in step 1112, in step 1114, the CPUC100 of the main control board M adds 1 to the current set value (set value data) (when the added result set value (set value data) exceeds 5). The set value (set value data) becomes 0), and the process proceeds to step 1116. In addition, even if No in step 1112, the process proceeds to step 1116. Next, in step 1116, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the start lever D50 has been switched from off to on. If No in step 1116, the process proceeds to step 1112, and the processes of steps 1112 to 1116 are looped. In the case of Yes in step 1116, in step 1118, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the setting key switch M20 has been switched from on to off. If No in step 1118, the process of step 1118 is looped. On the other hand, in the case of Yes in step 1118, in step 1120, the CPUC100 of the main control board M displays an error display LED (not shown) indicating that the operation of the setting change device has been completed, and displays the setting display LED (not shown). The display of the set value (set value data) is erased, and the process proceeds to the game progress control process of step 1200. Although not shown, after executing the process of step 1120, a process for transmitting a command indicating that the setting change mode is terminated is executed on the sub-control board S side.

Next, FIG. 15 is a flowchart of non-recoverable error processing according to the subroutine of step 1300 (and called in another flowchart) in FIG. First, in step 1302, the CPUC100 of the main control board M disables interrupts (after that, the flowchart related to the timer interrupt time processing described later is not executed). Next, in step 1304, the CPUC100 of the main control board M sets the output port address and the number of output ports. Next, in step 1306, the CPUC100 of the main control board M turns off the output ports (in this example, 0 to 6, display outputs to various LEDs and drive outputs to various motors). Next, in step 1308, the CPUC100 of the main control board M sets the next port output address (by repeating this, the display output to the various LEDs and the drive output to the various motors are sequentially stopped). Next, in step 1310, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the output to each output port is completed. In the case of Yes in step 1310, in step 1312, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes the set error display (some error has occurred when executing this process), and the process is concerned. Is repeated, and when the power supply voltage drops, a reset signal is input and the process ends. (That is, it enters an infinite loop, so it does not accept any operation that prompts it to return). If No in step 1310, the process proceeds to step 1306. The processes of steps 1306 to 1310 are processes for clearing the output to the LED / motor (however, since the external output signal is not cleared, the hall computer side can provide information on the error and the game progress status when the error occurs. It is possible to output to).

Next, FIG. 16 is a flowchart of the game progress control process (first sheet) according to the subroutine of step 1200 in FIG. First, in step 1202, the CPUC100 of the main control board M sets the stack pointer (initializes with the start address of the process). Next, in step 1203, the CPUC100 of the main control board M sets the data in the RAM area required for the game (for example, the maximum number of bets, the valid line of winning, etc.). In step 1203, the data for clearing the data used in the previous game {for example, the condition device number (winning number), the effect group number, the instruction information} (“0” for clearing the RAM address) The process of setting the data) in the RAM is also included. It should be noted that the condition device number, the effect group number, the instruction information, and the like may not be cleared, and the number selected when the next game is executed may be overwritten. Next, in step 1204, the CPUC100 of the main control board M sets the RT state (for example, “RT0” or the like) in the game (sets the RT state determined in step 1704 of FIG. 27). Next, in step 1205, the CPUC100 of the main control board M sets a command (command to the sub side) related to the RT state set in step 1204. The process of setting the RT state may be executed in step 1704 of FIG. 27. Further, a command related to the RT state (command to the sub side) may be set in step 1704. Further, when the RT state is transmitted to the sub side, it is not necessary to always transmit the RT state, and the RT state may be transmitted to the sub side only when the game section is the “advantageous section”. Next, in step 1206, the CPUC100 of the main control board M sets a state related to AT in the game (for example, “AT in progress”) (step 1420 in FIG. 21, step 1429, step 1435 in FIG. 22). Set the state related to AT determined in step 1439, step 1443, step 1444-3 in FIG. 23, and step 1444-4). Next, in step 1207, the CPUC100 of the main control board M sets a command (command to the sub side) related to the AT set in step 1206. Further, the process of setting the state related to AT may be executed in step 1416 and step 1428 in FIG. 21, step 1438 in FIG. 22, and step 1444-1 in FIG. 23. Further, when transmitting the state related to AT to the sub side, it is not necessary to always transmit, and the state related to AT may be transmitted to the sub side only when the game section is the "advantageous section". Next, in step 1208, the CPUC100 of the main control board M sets the game section (for example, “advantageous section”) in the game (the game section determined in steps 3510, 3516, and 3520 in FIG. 31). set). Next, in step 1208-1, the CPUC100 of the main control board M sets a command (command to the sub side) related to the game section set in step 1208. Next, in step 1209, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the medal payout device H is full of game medals. Specifically, it is equipped with a medal auxiliary tank HS (details will be described later) for storing medals overflowing from the medal payout device H, and two full detection electrodes DE (details will be described later) that can enter the inside of the medal auxiliary tank HS. It is determined by the continuity / non-conduction of the current due to (when the current is conducted through the medal, it is determined to be full). If Yes in step 1209, the process proceeds to step 1218.

On the other hand, if No in step 1209, in step 1210, the CPUC100 of the main control board M turns on the medal full error flag (for example, updates the inside of the medal full error flag area in the RAM area with a value corresponding to on. ). Next, in step 1212, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes the display of the error number corresponding to the medal full error with the 7-segment LED (for example, the storage display LED or the acquired number LED). Next, in step 1214, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the medal full error has been cleared (for example, the current from the two full detection electrodes provided in the medal auxiliary tank HS is non-conducting and is set / set. Whether or not the reset button M30 is pressed) is determined. In the case of Yes in step 1214, in step 1216, the CPUC100 of the main control board M turns off the medal full error flag (for example, updates the medal full error flag area in the RAM area with a value corresponding to off), and then steps. Move to 1218. On the other hand, if No in step 1214, the process proceeds to step 1212. Next, in step 1218, the CPUC100 of the main control board M permits the acceptance of medal insertion (the insertion operation is automatically executed in the next game of the replaying role), and the next process (step 1220). Process). Here, in step 1218, the blocker D100 is turned on (process for forming the medal flow path). Specifically, when the re-game combination is established in the previous game, the blocker D100 is turned on on the condition that the current number of stored cards (credits) is less than the predetermined value (50 cards in this example). Execute. In other words, when the current storage number (credit) is a predetermined value, the blocker D100 is not turned on. On the other hand, when the re-game combination is not established in the previous game, the blocker D100 is uniformly turned on. With this configuration, even if the re-game combination is established, if the number of stored cards (credits) does not reach the predetermined value, the game medal can be inserted, such as "RT1". When staying in the RT state (for example, "RT1") where the winning probability of the re-game role is higher than that of the RT state, or when the re-game role is difficult to understand by appearance (re-game pretending to be a small role: Even when the bell-bell-bell or the symbol combination in which the cherry is stopped on the left reel is stopped on the invalid line, the player can play the game with good rhythm (without discomfort).

Next, FIG. 17 is a flowchart of the game progress control process (second sheet) according to the subroutine of step 1200 in FIG. First, in step 1220, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the game medal has not been bet or saved (credit does not exist). In the case of Yes in step 1220, in step 1221, the CPUC100 of the main control board M satisfies the set value display condition (for example, the condition is satisfied when the door switch D80 and the setting key switch M20 are all turned on). Judge whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 1221, in step 1222, the CPUC100 of the main control board M is set to the setting display LED (not shown, but may be the payout number display device D270, the credit number display device D200, and the input number indicator light D210). The value is displayed (the mode shifts to the setting confirmation mode), and the step 1221 proceeds on condition that the setting key switch M20 is turned off. When the transition condition of the setting change mode is satisfied, the process for sending a command indicating to start the setting change mode to the sub control board S side, and when the end condition of the setting change mode is satisfied, the setting change mode Is executing a process to send a command indicating that it will end. If No in step 1220 or 1221, in step 1224, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes management related to insertion and settlement of game medals. Next, in step 1225, the CPUC100 of the main control board M confirms the number of game medals that can be accepted. Next, in step 1226, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the blocker D100 is on. In the case of Yes in step 1226, in step 1227, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the first insertion sensor D20s or the second insertion sensor D30s is on (in this embodiment, the insertion of medals). It has two throw-in sensors for detection, and when the first throw-in sensor D20s or the second throw-in sensor D30s is turned on, it is determined that one game medal has been accepted). In the case of Yes in step 1227, in step 1230, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the first input sensor D20s and the second input sensor D30s are off (first input sensor D20s or second input sensor D20s or second input). When the first throwing sensor D20s and the second throwing sensor D30s are turned off after the sensor D30s is turned on, it is determined that one received game medal has passed through the first throwing sensor D20s and the second throwing sensor D30s. ). In the case of Yes in step 1230, in step 1231, it is determined that the CPUC100 of the main control board M has accepted the insertion of one normal game medal. Although not shown, after step 1231, whether or not the CPUC100 of the main control board M has a maximum number of credits (50 in this example) and a maximum number of bets (3 in this example). If it is determined to be Yes, the blocker D100 is controlled to be off (a state in which the medal flow path is not formed). If No in step 1230, the process of step 1230 is repeated, and if No in step 1226 or 1227, the process proceeds to step 1232.

Next, in step 1232, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the settlement button D60 has been operated. In the case of Yes in step 1232, in step 1233, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not there is a remaining number of credits or a bet game medal. In the case of Yes in step 1233, in step 1234, the CPUC100 of the main control board M turns on the hopper drive flag (a flag in the RAM area, which is turned on when driving the hopper motor H80), and the game is played. Pay out one medal. Next, in step 1236, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the first payout sensor H10s or the second payout sensor H20s is on (in the present embodiment, for detecting the payout of medals). It has two payout sensors, and when the first payout sensor H10s or the second payout sensor H20s is turned on, it is determined that one game medal is being paid out). If Yes in step 1236, the process proceeds to step 1247. Here, although not specified in the flowchart, if the previous game was a re-game, only the remaining number of credits will be subject to settlement.

On the other hand, if No in step 1236, in step 1241, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) has elapsed since the hopper was driven (after the timing of the processing in step 1234). .. Specifically, did the situation in which it was determined that the medals were not paid out continued for a predetermined time even though the hopper drive signal was transmitted to the hopper motor H80 (the hopper motor H80 is rotating)? Judge whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 1241, in step 1242, the CPUC100 of the main control board M turns on the medal empty error flag (for example, updates the inside of the medal empty error flag area with a value corresponding to on). Next, in step 1244, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes a medal empty error display. Next, in step 1245, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the medal empty error has been cleared (for example, whether or not the setting / reset button M30 has been pressed). In the case of Yes in step 1245, in step 1246, the CPUC100 of the main control board M turns off the medal empty error flag (for example, updates the inside of the medal empty error flag area in the RAM area with a value corresponding to off), and steps. Move to 1247. On the other hand, if No in step 1245, the process proceeds to step 1244.

Next, in step 1247, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the first payout sensor H10s and the second payout sensor H20s are off (the first payout sensor H10s or the second payout sensor H20s is turned on). When the first payout sensor H10s and the second payout sensor H20s are turned off after In the case of Yes in step 1247, in step 1248, the CPUC100 of the main control board M turns off the hopper drive flag and proceeds to step 1233. If No in step 1241 or 1247, the process proceeds to step 1236.

On the other hand, if No in step 1232 or step 1233, the start lever D50 is effective for the CPUC100 of the main control board M in step 1251 (for example, a predetermined number of game medals for starting the game have been inserted, etc.). ), And it is determined whether or not the start lever D50 has been operated. In the case of Yes in step 1251, in step 1253, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the set value in the RAM area is within the normal range (0 to 5 in this example). In the case of Yes in step 1253, in step 1254, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes a process of acquiring a random number and turning off the blocker D100, and then proceeds to the next process (process of step 3600). On the other hand, if No in step 1253, in step 1256, the CPUC100 of the main control board M sets the set value error display (for example, sets the error number in the register area). Next, in step 1300, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes an unrecoverable error process. If No in step 1251, the process proceeds to step 1220.

Next, FIG. 18 is a flowchart of the game progress control process (third sheet) according to the subroutine of step 1200 in FIG. First, in step 3600, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes the internal lottery execution process described later. Next, in step 1259, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the current state related to the AT is a state in which the AT can be added to the lottery. Here, in this example, the states related to the AT that can execute the AT addition lottery are "AT in progress state", "additional specialization state", "specialization precursor state", and "advantageous BB state". In the "advantageous BB internal medium game", the AT counter value may be larger than 0, but the AT addition lottery is not executed. This is to prevent the player from being advantageous for the player if the player does not dare to align the symbol combinations of the BB in the "advantageous BB internal medium game". In addition, it may be configured so that the AT addition lottery can be executed in the "advantageous BB internal middle game", and in such a configuration, the AT addition lottery is won in the "advantageous BB internal middle game". It may be configured to notify the fact that the AT addition lottery has been won at the timing when the BB ends, or the number of AT remaining games after the number of AT games has been added, without notifying immediately.

In the case of Yes in step 1259, in step 1500, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes the game number addition execution process described later, and proceeds to step 1400. On the other hand, even if No in step 1259, the process proceeds to step 1400. In this game number addition execution process, it is possible to execute a lottery using different lottery tables depending on the state related to AT, but the lottery probability does not differ depending on the set value (using the same lottery table). Execute a lottery) is preferable. Next, in step 1400, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes the AT state transition control process described later. Next, in step 1450, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes the conditional device number management process described later.

Here, the states related to AT in this example are listed and described in detail (also shown in the AT state transition diagram of FIG. 30). (1) The "low probability state" is a state in which the AT has not been won (the right to shift to the "AT in progress state" has not been acquired) and the bonus combination has not been won. Since the "low probability state" is a so-called "normal state", it may also be referred to as a "normal state". (2) The "normal BB internal medium game" is a state in which the BB combination is won in the "low probability state", the BB combination is not won, and the AT lottery is not won. (3) The "normal BB state" is when the symbol combination corresponding to the BB combination is stopped and displayed in the situation where the BB combination is won in the "low probability state" and the AT lottery is not won. Alternatively, it is a state of being executed when the symbol combination corresponding to the BB combination is stopped and displayed in the "normal BB internal medium game". (4) The "high probability state" is a state in which the AT lottery has not been won (the right to shift to the "AT in progress state" has not been acquired) and the bonus role has not been won. , It is a state in which it is easier to win the AT than the above-mentioned "low probability state". As will be described later, when the game newly shifts to the "high probability state", it is configured not to shift to the "low probability state" until the number of high-securing obstacle games has elapsed. (5) "AT in progress state" "" Is a state in which AT (push order navigation) is performed and the number of remaining AT games (AT counter value) is subtracted. Even if the AT counter value becomes 0, if the continuous lottery described later is won, the predetermined value is set in the AT counter and the "AT in progress state" continues (6) "Specialization precursor state". Is a state in which the right to shift to the "additional specialization state", which is a state in which the number of AT games is relatively easier to be added than the "AT in progress state", is acquired. (7) The "additional specialization state" is a state in which the number of AT games is relatively easier to be added than in the "AT in progress state". (8) "Advantageous BB internal medium game" means that the BB role is won in the "high probability state", "AT in progress state", "specialization precursor state" or "additional specialization state", and the BB role is It is in a state of not winning a prize. (9) "Standby BB internal medium game" is a state in which the BB role is won in the "low probability state", the AT lottery is won by the BB role, and the BB role is not won. .. (10) The "advantageous BB state" is a combination of symbols corresponding to the BB role by winning the BB role in the "high probability state", "AT in progress state", "specialization precursor state" or "additional specialization state". The BB combination is won and is executed when the stop display is displayed, or when the symbol combination corresponding to the BB combination is stopped and displayed in the "advantageous BB internal medium game", or in the "low probability state". , When the AT lottery was won by the BB combination and the symbol combination corresponding to the BB combination was stopped and displayed, or in the "standby BB internal medium game", the symbol combination corresponding to the BB combination was stopped and displayed. It is a state that is sometimes executed. (12) The "state for producing the resurrection possibility" is a state related to the AT that shifts when the AT counter value becomes 0 and the continuous lottery described later is not won. In the "state for effect of resurrection", the resurrection lottery described later is executed, and if the resurrection lottery is won, the state shifts to "AT in progress" (a predetermined value is set in the AT counter), and the resurrection lottery is not performed. If it is won, it will shift to the "low probability state".

Next, in step 1550, the CPUC100 of the main control board M starts the rotation of all reels, which will be described later, and proceeds to step 1261-1. Next, in step 1261-1, the CPUC100 of the main control board M is requested to create a pull-in point creation request (rotating left reel M51, middle reel M52, right reel M53), and the stop order is determined. It is determined whether or not there is (as required as appropriate depending on the stop position of other reels). In the case of Yes in step 1261-1, in step 1262, the CPUC100 of the main control board M creates a pull-in point and proceeds to step 1263. On the other hand, even if No in step 1261-1, the process proceeds to step 1263. In this way, in the "BB internal reeling game", in the game in which the push order bell was won, the stop buttons were not stopped in the correct push order of 11 payouts (for example, in the case of winning-A1). Even if the stop button is not stopped in the order of "left → middle → right" (when the reel is stopped in the order of pressing the wrong answer), 11 symbol combinations will be paid out by the reel stop control. It is configured to win a prize. Next, in step 1263, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes a reel stop acceptance / rejection check. Next, in step 1264, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not any of the stop buttons (left stop button D41, middle stop button D42, right stop button D43) has been operated. In the case of Yes in step 1264, in step 1265, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines the stop position of the reel corresponding to the operated stop button (for example, the left reel M51 corresponds to the left stop button D41). .. On the other hand, even if No in step 1264, the process proceeds to step 1266. Next, in step 1266, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes all reel stop check processing. Next, in step 1267, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not all the reels (left reel M51, middle reel M52, right reel M53) have stopped. In the case of Yes in step 1267, in step 1268, the CPUC100 of the main control board M compares the symbol stop position data in the RAM with the internal winning combination stoptable position data. Next, in step 1269, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the combination of the displayed symbols is normal (if it does not match the winning combination determined by the internal lottery, it is abnormal. Is determined to be). The determination of whether or not the combination of the displayed symbols in step 1269 is normal determines whether or not the reel stop control based on the operation of the stop button is normally completed, and the winning combination is won. In the game being played, when the operation of the stop button is executed in an operation mode in which the winning combination can win a prize, the reel position actually stopped is not normal (the winning is possible as determined by the internal lottery). Even if the combination is not displayed as a stop from the appearance of the player), if the reel stop control is normally executed by the processing inside the game machine, the game medal based on the winning combination will be awarded. The payout is configured to be performed. If Yes in step 1269, the process proceeds to step 1274. On the other hand, if No in step 1269, in step 1270, the CPUC100 of the main control board M sets a display determination error display (for example, sets it in the register area). Next, in step 1300, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes an unrecoverable error process. On the other hand, if No in step 1267, the process proceeds to step 1261-1.

Next, in step 1274, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes a game medal payout process by winning a prize. Next, in step 1275, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not there has been a prize for paying out the game medal {the game medal obtained by the prize exceeds the maximum number of credits (50 in this example). If this is the case, the game medal will be paid out}. In the case of Yes in step 1275, in step 1276, the CPUC100 of the main control board M turns on the hopper drive flag (the flag that is turned on when driving the hopper motor H80), and executes the payout of one game medal. .. Next, in step 1277, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the first payout sensor H10s or the second payout sensor H20s is on (the first payout sensor H10s or the second payout sensor H20s is on). Then, it is determined that the payout operation of one game medal is being performed). If Yes in step 1277, the process proceeds to step 1286.

On the other hand, if No in step 1277, in step 1279, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) has elapsed since the hopper was driven (after the timing of the processing in step 1276). .. In the case of Yes in step 1279, in step 1280, the CPUC100 of the main control board M turns on the medal empty error flag (for example, updates the inside of the medal empty error flag area of the RAM area with a value corresponding to on). Next, in step 1281, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes the medal empty error display with the 7-segment LED. Next, in step 1282, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the medal empty error has been cleared (for example, whether or not the setting / reset button M30 has been pressed). In the case of Yes in step 1282, in step 1283, the CPUC100 of the main control board M turns off the medal empty error flag (for example, updates the inside of the medal empty error flag area in the RAM area with a value corresponding to off), and steps 1282. Move to 1286. On the other hand, if No in step 1282, the process proceeds to step 1281.

Next, in step 1286, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the first payout sensor H10s and the second payout sensor H20s are off (the first payout sensor H10s or the second payout sensor H20s is turned on). When the first payout sensor H10s and the second payout sensor H20s are turned off, it is determined that the payout operation of one game medal in which the payout operation has been performed is completed). In the case of Yes in step 1286, in step 1288, the CPUC100 of the main control board M turns off the hopper drive flag and proceeds to step 1290. If No in step 1279 or step 1286, the process proceeds to step 1277. Next, in step 1290, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the payout corresponding to the prize (the prize that became Yes in step 1275) is completed. If Yes in step 1290, the process proceeds to step 3400. If No in step 1286, the process proceeds to step 1277, if No in step 1275, the process proceeds to step 3400, and if No in step 1290, the process proceeds to step 1276.

Next, in step 3400, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes the remaining game number management process, which will be described later. Next, in step 1700, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes the RT state transition control process described later. Next, in step 1750, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes the AT state start control process described later. Next, in step 3500, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes the game section transition control process described later. Next, in step 1293, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes a game end process (for example, clearing the number of bets, transition process of the game state, etc.), and shifts to the next process (process of step 1202).

Next, FIG. 19 is a flowchart of the internal lottery execution process according to the subroutine of step 3600 of FIG. 18 in the present embodiment. First, in step 3602, the CPUC100 of the main control board M sets an internal lottery table (a table used when executing the internal lottery in which the winning number and the number of places to be compared with the acquired random numbers are stored). Then, the process proceeds to step 3604. Next, in step 3604, the CPUC100 of the main control board M acquires the winning number related to the set internal lottery table address. In addition, winning / replay winning information can be generated from the winning number. In addition, if the bonus and the small role are won in duplicate, or if the bonus and the re-game combination are won in duplicate, both the winning / re-game winning information and the bonus winning information are obtained from the winning number. Winning information can be generated. The specific generation process will be described later. Next, in step 3606, the CPUC100 of the main control board M acquires the number of repetitions related to the set internal lottery table address. Here, the number of repetitions is the number of consecutive winning numbers having the same payout group number and the same set number for comparison with the acquired random number, and is stored in the ROM of the main control board M in advance. It is remembered. For example, the payout group number 2 includes nine winning numbers of winning numbers 4 to 12, and the same number is used for three consecutive winning numbers 4 to 6 which are push order replaying roles. Since the number of consecutive winning numbers 7 to 12, which are the push order bell roles, is the same, the number of repetitions related to the push order replay combination is 3, and the push order bells are used. The number of repetitions related to the combination is 6. It should be noted that the lottery table used when the winning numbers 4 to 6 which are the push order replaying roles and the lottery table used when the winning numbers 7 to 12 which are the pushing order bell roles are acquired are as a single lottery table. It is configured. Next, in step 3608, the CPUC100 of the main control board M acquires the payout group number related to the set internal lottery table address, and proceeds to step 3610.

Next, in step 3610, the CPUC100 of the main control board M acquires the set value data. Next, in step 3612, the CPUC100 of the main control board M acquires the designated address data. Next, in step 3614, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the internal lottery has been won (whether or not the acquired random number exists in the internal lottery table searched this time). In the case of Yes in step 3614, since it is determined that the internal lottery has been won, the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 1259) without executing the determination (lottery) for the subsequent internal lottery table address. On the other hand, if No in step 3614, the CPUC100 of the main control board M updates the number of repetitions in step 3616. Next, in step 3618, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not there is a remaining number of iterations. In the case of Yes in step 3618, the process proceeds to step 3610, and the processes of steps 361 to 3618 are repeatedly executed until the remaining number of repetitions is exhausted or the internal lottery is won. If No in step 3618, the CPUC100 of the main control board M updates the internal lottery table address (updates to the address related to the next payout group number) in step 3620, and proceeds to step 3604 to move to step 3604. The subsequent processing is executed. The specific processing of the internal lottery will be described later.

Next, FIG. 20 is a flowchart of the game number addition execution process according to the subroutine of step 1500 of FIG. 18 in the present embodiment. First, in step 1502, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the state related to AT is "AT in progress state", "specialization precursor state", or "additional specialization state". In the case of Yes in step 1502, in step 1504, the CPUC100 of the main control board M sets the payout group number related to the game as an additional AT game (in the "AT in progress state", a winning number capable of adding the remaining number of AT games). In this example, it is determined whether or not the payout group number (1, 3 in this example) is related to the re-game-B, re-game-C, and winning-D). If Yes in step 1504, the process proceeds to step 1514. Further, in the case of No in step 1502, in other words, when the state related to AT is the advantageous BB state, in step 1512, the CPUC100 of the main control board M has the payout group number related to the game added to the BB. In the "advantageous BB state", it is a winning number that can add the number of remaining AT games, and in this example, whether or not it is a payout group number (5, 6 in this example) related to winning-H, winning-I). To judge. If Yes in step 1512, the process proceeds to step 1514, and if No in step 1512, the process proceeds to step 1518. Further, in the case of No in step 1504, in step 1506, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the state related to AT is the "additional specialization state". In the case of Yes in step 1506, in step 1508, the CPUC100 of the main control board M can add the number of remaining AT games in the specialized middle addition role (in the "additional specialization state"), the payout group number related to the game can be added. In the "AT in progress state", it is a winning number that does not add the number of remaining AT games, and in this example, it is a replay-A, replay-D1 to D3, and winning-A1 to A6). (In this example, it is determined whether or not it is 2, 13). If Yes in step 1508, the process proceeds to step 1514. If No in step 1506 or step 1508, the process proceeds to step 1518.

Next, in step 1514, the CPUC100 of the main control board M refers to the winning additional game number lottery table, and determines the number of AT additional games based on the payout group number related to the game (for example, in the margin). In the lottery table shown, it is determined whether or not the latched random number value falls within the range). It should be noted that determining the number of AT addition games is also referred to as executing an AT addition lottery. Next, in step 1516, the CPUC100 of the main control board M adds the determined number of AT additional games to the counter value of the AT counter M60, and sets the AT counter value after the addition to the AT counter M60. Next, in step 1517, the CPUC100 of the main control board M receives a command related to the determined number of AT-added games (a command to the sub-control board S side, and the sub-control board S receives the command. It is possible to recognize whether or not the number of AT games has been added and how many games have been added), and the process proceeds to step 1518. It should be noted that the lottery related to AT (AT lottery, AT addition lottery) can be executed even in the case of the payout group numbers 7 to 11, which are the payout group numbers related to the winning numbers (winning numbers 19 to 27) including the bonus. ..

Here, the lottery table shown in the margin of the figure is an example of a lottery table for the number of additional games at the time of winning, and in the present embodiment, a part of the state related to the AT in which the push order navigation is executed (in this example, " If the additional winning combination is won at the time of winning in "AT in progress state", "specialization precursor state", "additional specialization state", "advantageous BB state"), based on the payout group number related to the game, The number of AT added games is determined by lottery from "0" to "300", and the determined value is added to the counter value of the AT counter M60. If "0" is determined, the number of remaining AT games will not increase (if "0" is determined, it may be referred to as non-winning in the AT additional lottery).

In addition, the average value (expected value) of the number of AT additional games when the additional combination is won at the time of winning is a value as shown in the figure, and as a specific calculation method, the winning combination is watermelon A. In the case, {number of games (600) x number of AT additional games (0) + number of games (100) x number of AT additional games (10) + number of games (300) x number of AT additional games (30) + number of games ( 24) × number of AT additional games (100)} / total number of placements (1024) = 12.1 (games).

Next, when the winning combination is re-game-B or re-game-C, {number of placements (500) x number of AT additional games (0) + number of placements (200) x number of AT additional games (50) + Calculated as number of units (300) x number of AT additional games (100) + number of units (24) x number of AT additional games (300)} / total number of units (1024) = 46.1 (game). be able to.

Next, if the winning combination is re-game-A or re-game-D1 to D3, and winning-A1 to A6, {number of games (300) x number of AT additional games (10) + number of games (600) x It can be calculated as the number of AT additional games (30) + the number of placements (124) × the number of AT additional games (50)} / the total number of placements (1024) = 26.61 (games). In addition, when the winning combination is re-game-A or re-game-D1 to D3, and winning-A1 to A6, the number of AT games is added only when the state related to AT is "addition specialized state". It has become.

Next, if the winning combination is a BB medium-weak rare role, {number of placements (800) x number of AT additional games (0) + number of placements (100) x number of AT addition games (10) + number of placements (100) ) × Number of AT additional games (30) + Number of placements (24) × Number of AT additional games (100)} / Total number of placements (1024) = 6.3 (games).

Next, if the winning combination is a BB medium-strong rare role, {number of placements (300) x number of AT additional games (0) + number of placements (300) x number of AT addition games (30) + number of placements (400) ) × Number of AT additional games (50) + Number of placements (24) × Number of AT additional games (300)} / Total number of placements (1024) = 35.4 (Games).

In the present embodiment, when the AT addition lottery is executed, the average value of the AT addition games may differ depending on the type of winning combination, but the AT addition games number may differ depending on the set value. The average values are configured so that they do not differ. Here, when the AT addition lottery is configured to be executed based on the winning number, for example, when the winning number 7 and the winning number 8 execute the same processing as the AT addition lottery, the winning number is 7. It is necessary to execute the process of determining whether or not the number is 8, but the winning number 7 and the winning number 8 are configured to execute the AT addition lottery based on the payout group number as in the present embodiment. When the same process is executed as the AT additional lottery, the process related to the AT additional lottery of the winning number 7 and the winning number 8 should be executed only by determining whether the payout group number is 2. Will be possible.

Returning to the explanation of the flowchart, next, in step 1518, the CPUC100 of the main control board M may determine by the winning number (or winning / replay winning information, the payout group number, etc.) related to the game. ) Is a winning number for re-game-B (reverse-push white 7 replay, which is a re-game in which White Seven can be aligned with the invalid line by stopping by reverse-push). In the case of Yes in step 1518, in step 1520, whether or not the CPUC100 of the main control board M has added the number of AT games by the replay-B, in other words, the number of AT games added by winning the regame-B. It is determined whether or not it was 0. In the case of Yes in step 1520, in step 1522, the CPUC100 of the main control board M is an invalid line by a reverse push instruction command (a command to the sub control board S side and reverse push (“right → middle → left”). Will be executed to instruct the white sevens to be aligned), and the process proceeds to step 1526. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1520, in step 1524, the CPUC100 of the main control board M is a command for avoiding the reverse push (a command to the sub control board S side, and is other than the reverse push (“right → middle → left”). The push order is instructed, and the effect of not aligning the white sevens on the invalid line) is set, and the process proceeds to step 1526. In addition, even if No in step 1518, the process proceeds to step 1526. Next, in step 1526, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines the winning number (or winning / replay winning information, the payout group number, etc.) related to the game as the replay-C (or the payout group number). It is determined whether or not it is a replay (forward push black 7 replay) in which the black seven can be aligned with the invalid line by stopping by the forward push. In the case of Yes in step 1526, in step 1528, whether or not the CPUC100 of the main control board M has added the number of AT games by the replay-C, in other words, the number of AT games added by winning the regame-C. It is determined whether or not it was 0. In the case of Yes in step 1528, in step 1530, the CPUC100 of the main control board M is an invalid line by a forward push instruction command (a command to the sub control board S side and forward push (“left → middle → right”). (The effect of instructing the black sevens to be aligned) is set in, and the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 1400). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1528, in step 1532, the CPUC100 of the main control board M is a command to avoid the forward push (a command to the sub control board S side, and is a command other than the forward push (“left → middle → right”). The push order is instructed, and the effect of not aligning the black sevens on the invalid line is set), and the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 1400). Even if No in step 1526, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1400). In the present embodiment, a reverse push instruction command, a reverse push avoidance command, a forward push instruction command, and a forward push avoidance command are transmitted to the sub control board S, and the sub control board S receives these commands to subordinate. It is configured so that the control board S side can execute the effect related to the push order navigation, but it is not limited to this, and when the AT additional lottery is won, it is related to the fact that the AT additional lottery is won and the number of AT additional games. When a command (for example, a command related to the number of AT-added games related to the process of step 1517) is transmitted to the sub-control board S side and the sub-control board S side receives the command, the push order navigation is performed on the sub-control board S side. It may be configured to determine the execution timing and the effect mode of the effect related to. As an example, in a game in which the re-game-B is won and the sub-control board S side receives the command (a game in which the number of AT games is added), a production mode in which a reverse push is instructed is selected. It may be configured to be executed, or in the game in which the command is received on the sub-control board S side, the effect of instructing the reverse push is not executed, and the subsequent predetermined condition (for example, a specific replay combination (for example, replay)) is executed. In a game in which (game-B or C) has been won), an effect of instructing a push order in which seven lines can be aligned on the invalid line may be executed. Alternatively, in the game in which the re-game-B is won and the command is received on the sub-control board S side (a game in which the number of AT games is added), the effect of instructing the reverse push is not executed, and then (For example, after a predetermined number of games (a continuous effect may be executed at the same time, in that case, the final game of the continuous effect) is satisfied, the number of AT games is added to the effect (displayed by the effect display device S40). It is an effect that the display related to the number of remaining AT games is increased. For example, (displayed as "+ 30G") may be executed. In this example, the effect display device S40 also increases the number of remaining AT games. It is configured so that such a display can be displayed, and the display and the number of remaining AT games stored on the main control board side may be the same or different. Note that the replay-game- In a game in which B is a winning game and the sub-control board S side receives the command (a game in which the number of AT games is added), the effect of instructing the reverse push is not executed, and the subsequent predetermined conditions are satisfied. As an example of executing the effect of adding the number of AT games in the game that has been played, when a special effect (for example, a predetermined continuous effect) that encourages the winning of the bonus is being executed on the sub-control board S side (inside the bonus). Then, since the winning probability of re-game-B is low (including 0%), if the push order in which 7 matches are possible is notified, the player will recognize that the bonus has not been won), etc. There is a case where the board S side is executing a special effect. In addition, the main control board M side wins the AT addition lottery, and the sub control board S side determines that the number of remaining AT games has been added. The information includes (1) the number of AT remaining games transmitted from the main control board M side to the sub control board S side after the lottery with the AT added. After that, the number of AT remaining games transmitted last time on the sub control board S side. Calculate the difference between the information about the game and the information about the number of remaining AT games transmitted this time, and grasp the number of AT additional games won in the AT additional lottery. (2) Obtained as a result of the AT additional game on the main control board M side. A command regarding the number of AT additional games has been transmitted to the sub-control board S side. If the AT additional lottery is not won, a command relating to the fact that the AT additional lottery is not won is sent to the sub-control board S side. When the sub-control board S side receives the command, the sub-control board S side may be configured to determine the production mode of the effect related to the push order navigation. As an example, the replay-B may be used. It ’s a winning game Then, in the game in which the command is received on the sub-control board S side (the game in which the number of AT games is not added), the middle press (the middle stop button is operated as the first stop, and the pressing order avoids 7 sets). It may be configured to select and execute the effect mode for instructing. The AT addition lottery was executed on the main control board M side, but the information on the sub control board S side determining that the number of AT remaining games was not added is as follows: (1) Information on the number of AT remaining games. After the AT addition lottery, transmission is performed from the main control board M side to the sub control board S side. After that, on the sub-control board S side, the difference between the information on the number of AT remaining games transmitted last time and the information on the number of AT remaining games transmitted this time is calculated, and the number of AT additional games won in the AT additional lottery is grasped. (If the value obtained by subtracting the information on the number of AT remaining games transmitted this time from the information on the number of AT remaining games transmitted last time is 1, it is judged that the AT addition lottery was not won), (2) Main control board As a result of the AT addition lottery on the M side, a command regarding the fact that the number of AT addition games is 0 is transmitted to the sub-control board S side.

Next, FIG. 21 is a flowchart (first sheet) of the AT state transition control process according to the subroutine of step 1400 of FIG. 18 in the present embodiment. First, in step 1402, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the current state related to the AT is the state related to the AT capable of executing the AT lottery. In addition, in this embodiment, the state related to the AT that can execute the AT lottery is only the "high probability state", and by winning the BB in the "high probability state", the "advantageous BB internal medium game". After that, when the BB combination wins a prize, it shifts to the "advantageous BB state", and when the executed BB ends, it shifts to the "AT in progress state", and the AT counter shows the initial number of AT games. The value of 50 times will be set. Even if the player wins the BB in the "low probability state", the game shifts to the "normal BB internal medium game" and does not shift to the "AT in progress state" thereafter. In addition, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the BB is won in the "normal game state", the AT lottery may be won with the BB combination as an opportunity. In such a configuration, if the BB is won in the "normal game state" and the AT lottery is won with the BB role as an opportunity, the game shifts to the "advantageous BB internal medium game", and then the BB is changed. By aligning them, it will shift to the "advantageous BB state". In the internal state where the BB is won in the "normal game state" and the BBs are not aligned, the game section may be set as the "advantageous section" or the "standby section". In the case of Yes in step 1402, in step 1404, in the CPUC100 of the main control board M, the condition device related to the game is an AT lottery combination (in this example, a type 1 BB-A or a first type BB-A or a first type BB combination having no setting difference Species BB-C) is determined. In this embodiment, the winning numbers of the BB without setting difference (winning numbers 19 and 24) and the winning numbers of the BB without setting difference and the small winning combination (winning numbers 25, 26, 27) are used. Both are AT lottery roles. In the case of Yes in step 1404, in step 1406, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines the state related to AT after the next game to "advantageous BB internal medium game", and proceeds to step 1410. Further, even if No in step 1402 or 1404, the process proceeds to step 1410. In this embodiment, when the AT-related states are different, the AT winning rate (whether or not the AT can be won) related to the AT lottery is different, but when the AT-related states are the same. The AT winning rate related to the AT lottery is the same even if the set value is different (if the BB is won in the "high probability state", the AT is always won regardless of the set value = then " Shift to "AT in progress").

Next, in step 1410, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the state related to the AT after the next game has been determined. In the case of Yes in step 1410, in step 1412, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the current state related to the AT is a “low probability state”. In the case of Yes in step 1412, in step 1414, the CPUC100 of the main control board M has a small condition device related to the game that can shift from a “low probability state” to a “high probability state” by winning. It is a role, and in this example, it is determined whether or not it is a cherry). In the case of Yes in step 1414, in step 1416, the CPUC100 of the main control board M wins with a predetermined probability (in this example, it is 1/2, and if it does not differ depending on the set value, there is no problem even if it is changed). Execute a high-probability state transition lottery. Next, in step 1418, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the executed high-probability state transition lottery has been won. In the case of Yes in step 1418, in step 1420, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines the state related to the AT after the next game to the “high probability state”, and proceeds to step 1430.

Further, in the case of No in step 1412, in step 1424, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the current state related to the AT is a “high probability state”. In the case of Yes in step 1424, in step 1426, the CPUC100 of the main control board M has a counter value of 1 for the high securement failure counter KHc (the final game of the high securement failure, and the tenth game since the "high probability state" is reached. ) Is determined. In the case of Yes in step 1426, in step 1428, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the low probability transition condition is satisfied. Here, in the present embodiment, when the state related to AT is the "high probability state", the game section is the "advantageous section", and when the game section is the "advantageous section", the push order It is configured so that the "advantageous section" does not end unless the navigation is executed one or more times or the predetermined number of games (1500 games in this example) "advantageous section" continues. Even if the low-probability state transition lottery is won, the "high-probability state" is configured not to end if the low-probability transition condition is not satisfied because the push order navigation has not been executed more than once. ). If the BB combination is won during the "advantageous section" and the BB is executed, the "advantageous section" can be performed at any timing even if the push order navigation is not executed even once in the "advantageous section". It may be configured to be terminated. In the case of Yes in step 1428, in step 1429, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines the state related to AT in the next game and thereafter to the “low probability state”, and proceeds to step 1430. Here, the low-probability transition condition is satisfied by executing the push order navigation once. In addition, as a push order combination (a winning number in which the winning combination differs depending on the reel stop order and the profit margin of the player differs), a combination with a maximum payout number of 8 and a combination with a maximum payout number of 11 are provided. In this case, the low-probability transition condition may be that the push order navigation of the winning combination with a large maximum payout number of 11 is executed once. In addition, even if No in step 1410, step 1414, step 1418, step 1424, step 1426 or step 1428, the process proceeds to step 1430. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the state is newly shifted to the "high probability state", 10 games, which are high-securing obstacle games, are set in the high-securing obstacle counter KHc, and until the counter value becomes 0. Is configured not to transition to a "low probability state". It should be noted that such a lottery method is just an example. For example, the low probability state transition lottery is not executed for 10 games after the transition to the "high probability state" (the stay in the "high probability state" is guaranteed. ), A lottery for shifting from the "high probability state" to the "low probability state" may be executed with a predetermined probability (for example, 1/20) in each game after the lapse of the 10 games. The AT lottery combination (low probability AT lottery combination, high probability AT lottery combination) and state promotion combination have the same winning probability in all set values.

Next, FIG. 22 is a flowchart (second sheet) of the AT state transition control process according to the subroutine of step 1400 of FIG. 18 in the present embodiment. First, in step 1430, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the current state related to AT is the “AT in progress state”. In the case of Yes in step 1430, in step 1431, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the counter value of the AT counter M60 is a predetermined value (4 in this example) or more. Here, in the present embodiment, when the state related to AT is "AT in progress state", the AT counter value is 4 or more, in other words, when the number of remaining AT games is 4 or more, Watermelon B With a 1/2 chance of winning the game, you can get the right to move to the "additional specialization state" and move to the "specialization precursor state", while the state related to AT is "AT in progress state". , AT counter value is 3 or less, in other words, when the number of AT remaining games is 3 or less, a lottery (specialization) to acquire the right to shift to the "additional specialization state" even if you win the watermelon B It is configured so that it does not execute the state transition lottery) and does not shift to the "specialization precursor state" and the "additional specialization state". Not limited to this, even if the AT counter value is 3 or less, a lottery to win the watermelon B and acquire the right to shift to the "additional specialized state" (also known as the specialized state transition lottery). It may be configured to be able to execute (sometimes referred to as), and in a situation where the AT counter value is 3 or less, the watermelon B is elected and the right to shift to the "additional specialized state" is given. If the lottery to be won is won, it may be configured so that the next game that wins the lottery can be (shifted to) a "specialized precursor state" or an "additional specialized state", or the AT counter value. May be configured to be (or transition to) a "specialization precursor state" or an "additional specialization state" when becomes a predetermined value (for example, 1 or 0), or the game won in the lottery. After executing a predetermined number of games, it may be configured so that it can become (or shift to) a "specialization precursor state" or an "additional specialization state". In addition, when shifting to the "additional specialization state", it is not always necessary to go through the "specialization precursor state". For example, the configuration is such that the transition from the "AT in progress state" to the "additional specialization state" can be performed directly. You may. In the case of Yes in step 1431, in step 1432, the CPUC100 of the main control board M can execute a lottery in which the condition device related to the game can execute a lottery to acquire the transfer right to the specialization transition combination (“additional specialization state””. It is a role, and in this example, it is determined whether or not it is a watermelon B). In the case of Yes in step 1432, in step 1433, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes a special state transition lottery that wins with a predetermined probability (1/2 in this example). Next, in step 1434, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the executed specialization state transition lottery has been won. In the case of Yes in step 1434, in step 1435, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines the state related to the AT after the next game to the “specialization precursor state”, and proceeds to step 1444-1. On the other hand, if No in step 1431, in step 1436, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the counter value of the AT counter M60 is 1 (if the AT counter value is 1, the AT final game is reached). judge. In the case of Yes in step 1436, in step 1437, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes a continuous lottery to win with a predetermined probability (2/3 in this example). Next, in step 1438, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the executed continuous lottery has been won. In the case of Yes in step 1438, in step 1439, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines the state related to AT after the next game to "AT in progress state", and shifts to step 1444-1 (AT state shiftable condition). The number of AT initial games (50 in this example) will be set in the AT counter to satisfy the requirements. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1438, in step 1443, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines the state related to the AT after the next game to the "recovery possibility effect state", and proceeds to step 1444-1. In addition, even if No in step 1430, step 1432, step 1434 or step 1436, the process proceeds to step 1444-1. As described above, in the present embodiment, the continuous lottery is executed in the final AT game, and when the continuous lottery is won, the AT counter M60 is set to 50 games, which is the initial value, again. That is, when the addition of the number of AT games is not taken into consideration, the AT of 50 games per set continues to loop at 2/3. The execution timing of the continuous lottery is not limited to the final AT game. For example, after the initial value is set in the first game of AT (the first game newly in the "AT in progress" state or the AT counter M60). The first game) may be configured to perform a continuous lottery. With such a configuration, it has already been decided whether or not the next set (AT related to the winning of the continuous lottery) will be executed (whether or not the AT will continue) in the "AT in progress state". , The effect during AT can be different depending on whether the continuous lottery is won or not. For example, when the continuous lottery is won, the counter value of the AT counter M60 It is possible to change the BGM (song is played, etc.) in a situation of 1 or more (during the execution of AT), or to execute an effect in which it is definite that the player has won the continuous lottery.

Next, FIG. 23 is a flowchart (third sheet) of the AT state transition control process according to the subroutine of step 1400 of FIG. 18 in the present embodiment. First, in step 1444-1, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the current state related to the AT is a state for effecting resurrection. In the case of Yes in step 1444-1, in step 1444-2, the CPUC100 of the main control board M is set to the resurrection role (in the next game by winning the condition device related to the game in the "resurrection possibility production state"). It is determined whether or not it is a role that can shift to the "AT in progress state", in other words, a role that can pull back the AT). Here, in the present embodiment, the resurrection combination includes any of watermelon A, watermelon B, cherry, and a bonus combination (only the BB combination without setting difference, not including the BB combination with setting difference). When the condition device related to the game becomes a resurrection role, it is said that the resurrection lottery is won. In the case of Yes in step 1444-2, in step 1444-3, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines the state related to AT after the next game to "AT in progress state", and proceeds to step 1445. Here, the number of AT initial games (50 in this example) is set in the AT counter in order to satisfy the AT state transitionable condition. On the other hand, if No in step 1444-2, in step 1444-4, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines the state related to AT after the next game to the "low probability state", and proceeds to step 1445. Even if No in step 1441-1, the process proceeds to step 1445. As described above, in the present embodiment, even if the game is the final AT game and the continuous lottery is not won, the game shifts to the "recoverable / non-recoverable production state" and is revived in the "revival / non-recoverable production state". If the lottery can be won, it is configured to shift to the "AT in progress state" from the next game. In addition, although the "state for revival possibility production" is "advantageous section", the lottery related to AT (AT addition lottery, continuous lottery, etc.) in the "AT in progress state" is not executed, and the revival lottery can be executed. It is configured, and the execution mode of the lottery regarding AT is different between the "AT in-progress state" and the "revival possibility production state".

Next, in step 1445, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the state related to the AT after the next game has been determined. In the case of Yes in step 1445, in step 1446, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the transition condition of the state related to AT is satisfied (for example, as shown in FIG. 30, “specialization precursor”. Satisfied when 10 games, which is the number of precursor games, are exhausted in "State"). In the case of Yes in step 1446, in step 1447, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines the state related to AT in the next game and thereafter, and proceeds to step 1448 (for example, as shown in FIG. 30, "specialization". When the number of precursor games is exhausted in "precursor state", it is decided to be "additional specialization state"). In addition, even if No in step 1445 or step 1446, the process proceeds to step 1448. Next, in step 1448, the CPUC100 of the main control board M guarantees a high secured fault counter value command (in this example, it is a command to the sub side, and the current high secured fault counter value, in other words, a high probability state is guaranteed. The command related to the remaining number of games that has been played) is set, and the process proceeds to step 1449-1. Next, in step 1449-1, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the state related to the AT after the next game is determined to be "advantageous BB internal medium game". In the case of Yes in step 1449-1, in step 1449-2, the CPUC100 of the main control board M clears the counter value of the high security fault counter KHc to zero, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 1450). Even if No in step 1499-1, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1450).

In this embodiment, the AT winning rate is configured to differ depending on the lottery state, and if the BB combination (BB combination with no setting difference) is won in the "low probability state", the AT transition lottery is won. No (after that, it does not shift to the "AT in progress state") On the other hand, if the BB role (BB role with no setting difference) is won in the "high probability state", the AT transition lottery is won (then the "AT in progress state" is set. However, it is not limited to this, and the condition device A, which is a predetermined condition device, is used as the AT lottery, and the states related to the AT, which is the "advantageous section", are "high probability state A" and "high probability". If the condition device A is won in the "high probability state A" when the state B is configured, the AT transition lottery is won at 1/10, and the condition device is won in the "high probability state B". If A is won, the AT transition lottery may be won by 1/2. If the AT transition lottery is won, the state shifts to the "AT preparation state", which is the preparation state until the transition to the "AT in progress state" as the state related to AT, and then a predetermined end condition (for example, "AT preparation"). It may be configured to shift to the "AT in progress state" when 10 games have passed since the shift to the "state".

Next, FIG. 24 is a flowchart of the condition device number management process according to the subroutine of step 1450 of FIG. 18 in the present embodiment. First, in step 1451, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the current game section is an “advantageous section”. In the case of Yes in step 1451, in step 1452, the CPUC100 of the main control board M is a command related to winning / replay winning information (a command on the sub-control board S side, for example, winning / replay winning related to the game). Set the command related to information). Next, in step 1454, in the CPUC100 of the main control board M, the condition device related to the game is a combination with a push order (a condition device in which the winning combination differs depending on the push order, for example, winning-A1 or the like). Judge whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 1454, in step 1458, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines an instruction number (also referred to as a push order number) in the game based on the winning / replay winning information related to the game, and gives an instruction. It is stored in the RAM address for storing the number (an address different from the RAM address for displaying the push order navigation). The instruction number is information related to the pressing order, and in this example, the main control board M is determined and transmitted to the sub control board S (details will be described later). Further, the sub-control board S can display the push order navigation on the effect display device S40 by receiving the instruction number. It should be noted that the instruction number is determined (not shown, but the instruction number becomes the initial value based on clearing the instruction number) even when the push order navigation is not executed. When executing the push order guessing game, it may be configured to determine a predetermined instruction number (for example, AX) dedicated to the push order guessing game. Next, in step 1460, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes the push order navigation display on the push order display device D270 based on the instruction number related to the game (display of the push order navigation display on the main control board side). See FIG. 34 for an image). Next, in step 1466, the CPUC100 of the main control board M sets a command (command to the sub side) related to the instruction number determined in step 1458 (for example, sets it in the register area), and proceeds to step 1472. (See FIG. 34 for a display image of the push order navigation display on the sub-control board side). In this example, displaying the reel stop order that is most profitable to the player on the push order display device D270 and the effect display device S40 is referred to as a push order navigation, a push order navigation display, and the like. ing. In this embodiment, the push order navigation is displayed based on the instruction number. For example, the push order of "left → middle → right" is displayed by the push order display device D270 as "= 1". In both the push order bell and the push order replay, it is configured to be displayed as "= 1". In addition, the present invention is not limited to this, and in the case of displaying the push order navigation of "left → middle → right" on the push order display device D270 in the game related to the push order bell, and in the game related to the push order replay game, " The display mode may be different from the case where the push order navigation of "left → middle → right" is displayed on the push order display device D270. That is, the number of types of the push order navigation display mode displayed on the push order display device D270 may be the same as the number of types of winning / replay winning information.

If No in step 1451 or step 1454, in step 1468, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes mask processing on the winning / replay winning information of the game, and the masked information is used as the predetermined address of the RAM. Remember in. Here, when the winning / replay winning information related to the game is transmitted to the sub-control board S side, if the winning / replay winning information is recognized by an illegal act, it is considered as a high profit related to the game. The push order (reel stop order) will be recognized. Therefore, in this example, the sub-control board S is executed after performing mask processing {processing for concealing winning / replay winning information (particularly information related to the push order)} for the winning / replay winning information related to the game. By configuring it to send to, it is configured so that the highly profitable push order cannot be recognized. As the mask processing method in the present embodiment, a plurality of winning / replay winning information (winning / replay winning information having a similar role is preferable, and for example, the RT state shifts depending on the pushing order. A plurality of winning / re-gaming winning information that can be stopped and displayed as a symbol combination that serves as a re-gaming role is used as one production group number (for example, winning / re-gaming winning information 4 to 6 are designated as production group 4). The group number is configured to be transmitted to the sub control board S side. The method of mask processing is not limited to this, and for example, after the provided winning / replay winning information (0 to 18 in this example), a new winning / replay after mask processing is performed. It may be configured to provide winning information. Also, even in such a case, a plurality of winning / re-gaming winning information among the existing winning / re-gaming winning information such as the production group number is used as one winning / re-gaming winning information for winning / re-masking. It is desirable to configure the game winning information to be provided (for example, the winning / re-gaming winning information 4 to 6 is the winning / re-gaming winning information 19 (newly provided winning) which is the winning / re-gaming winning information after mask processing.・ Re-game winning information), etc.). If it is determined that the game is to notify the operation information (push order navigation) based on the state related to AT on the main control board M, the winning / re-game winning information is transmitted to the sub-control board S side. In a game in which the operation information is not notified, the effect group number may be transmitted to the sub-control board S side. When configured in this way, the command related to the instruction number may be transmitted to the sub-control board S side, or may be configured not to be transmitted.

Next, in step 1470, the CPUC100 of the main control board M sets (for example, sets in the register area) a command (command to the sub side) related to the effect group number after executing the mask processing, and then steps. Move to 1472. Next, in step 1472, the CPUC100 of the main control board M sets a command (command to the sub side) related to the bonus winning information (whether or not the bonus is won can be recognized by the sub side) (for example,). Set in the register area) and move to the next process (process of step 1550). In the present embodiment, the winning / replay winning information and the bonus winning information are derived from the winning number, and the derivation method will be described later. In addition, as shown in the lower part of the figure, as a display example of the push order navigation, in the case of "AT in progress", (1) when the fall replay combination is included → the fall replay combination is not stopped and displayed. The order is navigating, (2) in the case of bells (1 card combination, 11 card combination) → the push order with the largest number of payouts is navigating, and so on. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the game section is the "advantageous section", the winning / re-game winning information (the type of winning combination and the most advantageous pushing order for the player) is displayed on the sub-control board S side. (A number that can specify) and an instruction number (a number that can specify the most advantageous push order for the player), while the sub-control board S when the game section is a "normal section" It is configured so that the production group number (a number that can identify only the outline of the winning combination) can be transmitted to the side. That is, in the "advantageous section", the winning / replay winning information related to the game, including the winning / replay winning information in which the result of the game and the profit of the player differ depending on the pushing order, is directly used on the sub-control board S side. On the other hand, in a game section that is not an "advantageous section", the winning / replay winning information related to the game is not transmitted, and the result of the game and the profit of the player differ depending on the pushing order. In the case of winning information, the effect group number in which the information related to the pressing order is concealed is transmitted to the sub-control board S side.

When the game section is not an "advantageous section", mask processing is executed when the winning / re-game winning information determined by the main control board M is transmitted to the sub-control board S to determine the effect group number. Then, the effect group number is transmitted to the sub-control board S. In addition, the production group number is the winning / re-game winning information, and the winning / re-game winning information related to the winning role (for example, the re-game role including the fall re-game role, the push order bell, etc.). Are grouped and numbers are assigned. It is configured to execute mask processing {processing to keep the winning / replay winning information (especially information related to the push order) confidential} on the winning / replay winning information related to the game and then transmit it to the sub-control board S. This prevents a situation in which the information related to the winning / replay winning information is recognized due to an illegal act, and the pushing order (reel stop order) that is highly profitable related to the game is recognized.

Next, FIG. 25 is a flowchart of the reel rotation start preparation process according to the subroutine of step 1550 of FIG. 18 in the present embodiment. First, in step 1552, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the timer value of the game interval minimum time timer M70 (subtraction timer) is 0. Here, the game interval minimum time timer M70 is the time to be secured from a certain game start timing (reel rotation start timing) to the next game start timing (reel rotation start timing) (4.1 seconds in this example). It is a timer to measure. In the case of Yes in step 1552, in step 1554, the CPUC100 of the main control board M starts by newly setting the minimum time (4.1 seconds in this example) to the timer value of the game interval minimum time timer M70. On the other hand, if No in step 1552, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes an infinite loop process. Next, in step 1556, the CPUC100 of the main control board M clears the information related to the reel stop order and the information related to the push order related to the finished game. Next, in step 1558, the CPUC100 of the main control board M clears the information related to the reel stop related to the finished game and the pull-in point creation request. Next, in step 1560, the CPUC100 of the main control board M initializes the symbol stop position data related to the finished game. Next, in step 1562, the CPUC100 of the main control board M sets an output request during reel rotation start standby related to the game. Next, in step 1564, the CPUC100 of the main control board M sets a reel control command related to the game, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 1260). In other words, the processing of steps 1562 and 1564 makes it possible to send a command to the sub-control board S to indicate that the reel starts rotating.

Next, FIG. 26 is a flowchart of the remaining game number management process according to the subroutine of step 3400 of FIG. 18 in this embodiment. First, in step 3402, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the current game section is an “advantageous section”. Although the details will be described later, the "advantageous section" is one of the game sections, and the game situation which is advantageous for the player such as when the state related to AT is "AT in progress state". It is a game section that is easy to set in. In the case of Yes in step 3402, in step 3404, the CPUC100 of the main control board M is initially set to 1500, which is the subtraction counter and the maximum number of games that can stay in the "advantageous section". The counter value of (a counter that is set as a value and can be subtracted every game during the "advantageous interval") is subtracted by 1.

Next, in step 3408, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the current state related to AT is the "AT in progress state". In the case of Yes in step 3408, in step 3410, the CPUC100 of the main control board M subtracts 1 from the AT counter value. Next, in step 3412, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the state related to the AT is a high probability state. In the case of Yes in step 3412, in step 3414, the CPUC100 of the main control board M subtracts 1 from the counter value of the high security failure counter KHc, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 1700). In addition, even when No in step 3402, step 3408 or step 3412, the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 1700). As described above, in the present embodiment, when the state related to the AT that can be displayed by the push order navigation is the "AT in progress state", the AT counter value for each game is subtracted, but the "advantageous BB state" and "advantageous BB state" In the case of "advantageous BB internal medium game", "specialization precursor state" or "additional specialization state", the AT counter value is not subtracted even if the game is executed. That is, when the AT counter value remains (1 or more remains) and the state shifts from the "AT in progress state" to the "specialization precursor state", the "AT in progress state" is maintained while maintaining the AT counter value. It is configured so that it can transition (transition) from "state"-> "specialization precursor state"-> "additional specialization state". Even if the state related to AT is "AT in progress", it is possible not to subtract 1 from the AT counter value when the winning number including the bonus combination is determined in the game. At this time, for example, the AT counter value stored in the RAM of the main control board M is not subtracted, but the remaining number of AT games displayed on the effect display device S40 controlled by the sub control board S is displayed so as to be subtracted. You may control it. For example, when the game is executed and the bonus is won when the AT counter value is "30" and the number of remaining AT remaining games displayed on the effect display device S40 is "30", the AT counter value is "30". Is stored, or "30 + α", which is the value obtained by adding the value "α" obtained by the AT addition lottery related to the game, is stored, but is displayed on the effect display device S40 when the start lever D50 is operated. You may display "29" as the number of remaining AT games, or "29 + α" which is the sum of the value "α" obtained by the AT addition lottery (note that the "α" obtained by the addition lottery is , Without notifying in the game, "α" is set in a specific game after the game (a game that satisfies a predetermined condition at the start of the bonus game, during the bonus game, at the end of the bonus game, or after the end of the bonus game). You may notify). Then, the number of remaining AT games displayed on the effect display device S40 is subtracted by 1 for each game even in the "advantageous BB internal medium game", and an effect suggesting bonus confirmation (for example, a bonus confirmation screen) is output. It can be configured so that the number of remaining AT games is subtracted for each game. With this configuration, when a bonus is won in a state where push order navigation such as "AT in progress" can be executed, it is possible to prevent the player from immediately grasping the bonus winning. That is, after the winning number including the bonus combination is determined, a continuous effect over a plurality of games that incites whether or not the bonus is won can be executed by using the effect display device S40 or the like to enhance the interest of the game. The number of remaining AT games displayed on the effect display device S40 after the bonus game is completed is "30", or a value of "30" or more when notifying the result of winning and adding as a result of the AT addition lottery. Can be controlled to display. If the game is executed and the bonus is won when the AT counter value is "1" and the number of remaining AT games displayed on the effect display device S40 is "1", the game is displayed on the effect display device S40. The display related to the number of remaining AT games is "0", but while maintaining this state, continuous production over multiple games is executed to incite whether or not the bonus is won, and the AT counter value is "1". , The winning number (or winning / re-game winning information, or ball output group number) in which the game can be executed and the AT addition lottery can be executed when the number of remaining AT games displayed on the effect display device S40 is "1". If the player wins and does not win the AT additional lottery, the number of AT games becomes "0" and the number of AT games displayed on the effect display device S40 becomes "0". Further, when the number of remaining AT games is small, the probability of executing the continuous effect may be set lower (including 0%) than when the number of remaining AT games is large.

Next, FIG. 27 is a flowchart of the RT state transition control process according to the subroutine of step 1700 of FIG. 18 in the present embodiment. First, in step 1702, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the RT state transitionable condition is satisfied in the game. Here, in the present embodiment, the RT state transitionable conditions are RAM clear execution (RAM initialization), re-game stop display (in this example, re-game 04 stop display), and BB winning / starting. -It is configured to be satisfied at the end. In the case of Yes in step 1702, in step 1704, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the RT state can be shifted and the RT state after the next game based on the satisfied RT state transition possible condition (RT state transition in FIG. 28). (Refer to the figure), the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 1750). In addition, even if No in step 1702, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1750). In the present embodiment, the RT state transition control process is executed after all reels are stopped, but when shifting to "RT1", the shift timing may be shifted when the lever is turned on. The timing for shifting the RT state (memorizing the RT number in the RAM) can be appropriately determined.

Next, FIG. 28 is an RT state transition diagram in the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, there are four RT states of "RT0" to "RT2" and "Type 1 BB-A, B, C", and the RT states are satisfied by satisfying the conditions shown by the arrows in the figure. Will be migrated. As a specific example of transition to the RT state, when the RT state is "RT1", RAM initialization is executed, or when the replay 04 is stopped and displayed, the transition to "RT0" is performed. The stop display of the re-game 04 is specifically when the left stop button is operated as the first stop when the "re-game-D1" is won in the situation where the RT state is "RT1". , Re-games 01 to 03 are stopped and displayed, and "RT1" is maintained as the RT state. On the other hand, if the "re-game-D1" is won in the situation where the RT state is "RT1" and the middle stop button or the right stop button is operated as the first stop, the re-game 04 is stopped and displayed. , The RT state shifts from "RT1" to "RT0".

In addition, when the RT state is "RT0" or "RT1", the BB combination is won and the BB combination is not won in the winning game (the condition device related to the first type BB-A, B, C operates. ) And the RT state shifts to "RT2". In addition, when the BB role is won in "RT2" (type 1 BB-A, B, C operates), it shifts to "type 1 BB-A, B, C". Further, when the BB ends at "Type 1 BB-A, B, C" (the operation of Type 1 BB-A, B, C ends), the process shifts to "RT1". In addition, when the state related to AT is "low probability state", the BB is won, and when the BB ends, the RT state shifts to "RT1" which is highly profitable for the player. Since the push order navigation does not occur in the state, when the "re-game-D1 to D3" is won, the wrong push order (the first stop is the left button, the middle button, and the right button). One of the three choices is the correct push order and the re-games other than the re-game 04 are stopped and displayed, and two of the three choices are the incorrect push order and the re-game 04 is stopped and displayed). By stopping, the re-game 04 will be stopped and displayed, and the transition from "RT1" to "RT0" will occur. In addition, if the state related to AT is "high probability state", "AT in progress state", "specialization precursor state" or "additional specialization state", the BB is won, and if the BB ends, the RT state is reached. Will shift to "RT1", which is highly profitable for the player, and the state related to AT is a state in which push-order navigation occurs, and even when "Re-game-D1 to D3" is won, re-game 04 Will navigate the correct push order that does not stop and display, so "RT1" can be maintained.

Next, FIG. 29 is a flowchart of the AT state start control process according to the subroutine of step 1750 of FIG. 18 in the present embodiment. First, in step 1752, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the AT state transitionable condition is satisfied in the game. The conditions for shifting to the AT state are, for example, (1) when the BB with no setting difference won in the "high probability state" is completed, (2) when the continuous lottery is won, and (3) the revival lottery is won. Satisfy if you do. In the case of Yes in step 1752, in step 1754, the CPUC100 of the main control board M newly shifts to the "AT precursor state", and the number of AT initial games (50 in this example, and "AT in progress" The number of games in which subtraction is started after shifting to the "state") is set in the AT counter M60, and the process proceeds to step 1756. In addition, even if No in step 1752, the process proceeds to step 1756. Next, in step 1756, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the current state related to AT is a high probability state. In the case of Yes in step 1756, in step 1758, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the state related to AT in the next game is a high probability state. In the case of Yes in step 1758, in step 1760, the CPUC100 of the main control board M sets the number of high-securing obstacle games (10 in this example) in the high-securing obstacle counter, and performs the next processing (processing of step 3500). Transition. Even if No in step 1756 or step 1758, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 3500). In addition, after winning the BB in the "high probability state" and shifting to the "advantageous BB internal medium game", the game shifts to the "advantageous BB state" by winning the BB, and the AT game is in the "advantageous BB state". When the number is added, the initial value set in the AT counter exceeds 50 when the BB ends and the "advantageous BB state" shifts to the "AT in progress state". Specifically, when the number of AT games is added by 30 games in the "advantageous BB state" and then the state shifts to the "AT in progress state", 80 (initial value 50 + additional 30) is set in the AT counter. become. At this time, when the player is informed that 30 games have been added in the "advantageous BB state", the player is informed that the number of AT initial games is 80 at the start of the "AT in progress state". It is desirable to notify, but as another notification method, instead of notifying the player that 30 games have been added in the "advantageous BB state", the initial value is set at the start of the "AT in progress state". After presenting a certain 50 games to the player, the player is informed that 30 games have been added during AT (for example, immediately after the start of the "AT in progress state" or in a state where the number of remaining AT games in the effect display device S40 is small). A notification method for producing a notification is also conceivable. By doing so, the player cannot clearly grasp whether the number of AT games has been added in the "advantageous BB state" or how many games have been added. It is possible to enhance the interest in the additional production that suddenly occurs for unknown reasons during AT (a state in which push order navigation can occur). In this example, the number of AT initial games is set in the AT counter M60 in step 1754, but the execution timing of the process of setting the number of AT initial games is not limited to that of this example. The AT initial game number may be set in the AT counter M60 at the timing of executing the AT state transition control process in step 1400 described above. Further, the number of games set in the AT counter M60 (the number of AT initial games) is configured to be subtracted from the time when the game (the state related to AT is "AT in progress") after the end of BB. (The subtraction does not start during BB). Further, the counter value of the AT counter M60 is configured to be stored in the storage area of the RAM of the main control board M.

Next, FIG. 30 is an AT state transition diagram in the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, "low probability state", "normal BB internal medium game", "normal BB state", "high probability state", "AT in progress state", "specialization precursor state", "additional specialization state" , "Advantageous BB internal game", "Advantageous BB state", and "Resurrection possibility production state", and there are 10 AT-related states. By satisfying the conditions shown by the arrows in the figure, the AT is related. The state will shift. For example, if the watermelon B is won in the "AT in progress state" and the special state transition lottery that wins in 1/2 is won, the state shifts to the "specialization precursor state". In addition, when 10 games have passed (digested) after shifting to the "specialized precursor state", the game is configured to shift to the "additional specialized state". As the game section, the three AT-related states of "low probability state", "normal BB internal game", and "normal BB state" are set to "normal section", and "high probability state" and "during AT". The seven AT-related states of "state", "specialization precursor state", "additional specialization state", "advantageous BB internal medium game", "advantageous BB state", and "recovery possibility production state" are now "advantageous sections" Set. That is, even if the states related to the seven ATs that are the "advantageous section" are transitioned (shifted), if 1500 games have passed without setting the "normal section", the "advantageous section" is forcibly terminated. It is set to "normal section". In addition, when the push order navigation is displayed in the notification game state of "AT in progress state", "specialization precursor state", or "additional specialization state", the re-game 04 is stopped and displayed. However, the game state is maintained.

As described above, when the AT counter M60 is in the "AT in progress state" and the counter value of the AT counter M60 is 0 and the continuous lottery is not won, the "Resurrection possibility / rejection effect state" is set. If you win the revival lottery in the "Resurrection possibility production state", you can return to the "AT in progress state" again. On the other hand, if the revival lottery is not won in the "revival possibility production state", the process shifts to the "low probability state" and the "advantageous section" changes to the "normal section".

When the BB without setting difference (Type 1 BB-A or Type 1 BB-C) is won in the "high probability state", the setting difference BB operates, and the "advantageous BB state" ends, the "AT in progress state" To move to. Also, when the "AT in progress state" is won with no setting difference BB (Type 1 BB-A or Type 1 BB-C), the setting difference BB operates, and the "advantageous BB state" ends, " It shifts to "AT in progress". In addition, when the BB without setting difference (Type 1 BB-A or Type 1 BB-C) is won in the "Resurrection possibility production state", the setting difference BB operates, and the "Advantageous BB state" ends. Also shifts to "AT in progress" (to win the revival lottery). In addition, when the BB with a setting difference (Type 1 BB-B) is won in the "state for effect of resurrection", the BB with a setting difference operates, and the "advantageous BB state" ends, the BB with a setting difference becomes independent. If the winning number is related to the BB role (winning number 20), it will be in a "low probability state" after the end of BB (because the BB role with setting difference will not win the revival lottery), and the BB with setting difference is rare. If the winning number is the same as the winning number (winning numbers 21 to 23), it will be in the "AT in progress state" after the end of BB (because the rare role will be the trigger to win the revival lottery).

In addition, when the BB with a setting difference (Type 1 BB-B) is won in the case of the "advantageous section" and the "high probability state", the BB with the setting difference operates, and the "advantageous BB state" ends. Move to "high probability state".

In addition, the state related to AT that shifts after the end of the "advantageous BB state" is after the end of the BB that was won during AT ("AT in progress state", "specialization precursor state", "additional specialization state") (setting difference). (Both with BB and BB without setting difference) shifts to the state related to AT at the time of BB winning among "AT in progress state", "specialization precursor state" or "additional specialization state", and during non-AT ( After the end of the BB with no setting difference won in the "high probability state"), the state shifts to the "AT in progress state". In addition, there is a setting difference in winning during non-AT (“high probability state”), and after the end of BB, the state shifts to “high probability state”.

The state related to AT is not limited to that of the present embodiment. For example, an AT lottery is executed by winning a predetermined winning number in a "low probability state" or a "high probability state", and the AT lottery is performed. By winning the game, the player may be configured to shift to the "precursor state" and shift to the "AT in progress state" after 16 to 32 games have elapsed. In such a configuration, the predetermined condition device may be used. By winning, the AT lottery is executed, and if the AT lottery is not won, it shifts to the "precursor state" and shifts to the "low probability state" or "high probability state" after 16 to 32 games have passed. It may be configured to do so. Further, a "waiting section" different from the "advantageous section" and the "normal section" may be provided as the game section. For example, when the game property is such that the AT lottery is executed by winning the "cherry", BB If you win the "BB + cherry" where the cherry and the cherry overlap, and you win the AT lottery, the state inside the BB until the "BB" of the "BB + cherry" wins is configured as the "waiting section". You may. In this way, by providing the "waiting section", the BB is won in the "low probability state" and the AT lottery is not won, and the BB is won and the AT is won in the "low probability state". Since the advantageous section indicator YH is off during the period until the BB symbol combinations are complete (until the advantageous section indicator lights up) when the lottery is won, the AT lottery is won. It is possible to incite the player whether or not it is. Further, when the BB is won in the "additional specialization state", the "additional specialization state" may be restarted after the end of the BB, and in such a configuration, during the BB Execute an AT additional lottery different from the BB won in the "AT in progress state" as the BB won in the "addition specialized state" (for example, win the AT additional lottery than the BB won in the "AT in progress state") It may be configured so that the number of AT games is added and the number of games per game is relatively large). In addition, if the BB is elected in the "specialization precursor state", it may be configured to shift to the "additional specialization state" after the end of the BB. The AT addition lottery may be executed in the same manner as the winning BB in the "additional specialization state".

Next, FIG. 31 is a flowchart of the game section transition control process according to the subroutine of step 3500 of FIG. 18 in the present embodiment. First, in the present embodiment, a game section is provided as a section related to the state of the game, and the game section is a "normal section" which is relatively low profit for the player and relatively high for the player. It has two game sections, an "advantageous section" which is a profitable section. As a description of the flowchart, first, in step 3508, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the game section related to the game is a “normal section”. In the case of Yes in step 3508, in step 3510, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines the game section after the next game as the game section corresponding to the current AT-related state and the current game situation, and proceeds to step 3528. To do. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 3508, in other words, when the game section is an "advantageous section", in step 3514, the CPUC100 of the main control board M has a counter value of 0 in the advantageous section remaining game number counter YKc-1. Whether or not, in other words, whether or not the "advantageous section" has reached the maximum number of games that can be continued is determined. In the case of Yes in step 3514, in step 3515, the CPUC100 of the main control board M clears all the information related to AT (thus, the AT counter value becomes 0, and the number of staying games in the “specialized precursor state” is described. Things will also be 0). On the other hand, if No in step 3514, in step 3518, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not an arbitrary advantageous section end condition is satisfied. Here, the arbitrary advantageous section end condition is an end condition of the "advantageous section" other than the case where the counter value of the advantageous section remaining game counter YKc-1 becomes 0. For example, the AT counter value is 0. This is the case when the push order navigation is executed a predetermined number of times. If No in step 3518, that is, if any advantageous section end condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step 3515. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the "advantageous section" is completed and the "normal section" is set after the next game, the information related to AT (the number of AT continuous games, the number of AT remaining games, etc.) Since all the information related to) is cleared, the conditions for becoming the "advantageous section" again in the subsequent "normal section" will not be relaxed. Information related to the AT to be cleared by the process of step 3515 (process at the end of the advantageous section) includes a counter value of the advantageous section remaining game number counter YKc-1 and a flag indicating the game state. In addition, this information is also cleared by clearing the RAM when the setting is changed, but depending on the RAM clear when the setting is changed, "conditional device related to the accessory continuous operation device (BB)" or "RT state". , "The number of stored sheets" and the like are also cleared, but depending on the process of step 3515 (process at the end of the advantageous section), "condition device related to the accessory continuous operation device (BB)" or "RT state". , Information related to "number of stored sheets" etc. is not cleared. As described above, the RAM clear range when the setting is changed and the clear range at the end of the "advantageous section" (for example, when the process of step 3515 is executed) are different. It should be noted that the RAM is cleared when the setting is changed, so that the "conditional device related to the accessory continuous operation device (BB)" and the "RT state" may be held. In addition, the addresses in the range to be cleared at the end of the "advantageous section" are continuous. By making the addresses in the range to be cleared at the end of the "advantageous section" continuous in this way, it is possible to clear by a simple process of designating the range of the start address to be cleared and the range of the addresses to be cleared in the clearing process. Further, when the "advantageous section" is completed, a command relating to the end of the "advantageous section" is transmitted from the main control board M to the sub control board S. However, even if the sub-control board S side receives the command, the game history such as the fact that it was an "advantageous section" and the information related to how many games the "AT in progress state" was executed is not deleted. ing. However, when the RAM is cleared when the setting is changed, the game history such as the fact that it was an "advantageous section" on the sub-control board S side and information on how many games were executed in the "AT in progress state". Will also be erased.

In addition, when the "advantageous section" ends because the counter value of the game number counter YKc-1 remaining in the advantageous section becomes 0, (1) when the current state related to AT is the "high probability state". In the next game, the state related to AT becomes "low probability state". (2) If the current state related to AT is "advantageous BB internal medium game", the state related to AT becomes "advantageous BB internal medium game" in the next game. "Normal BB internal game", (3) If the current AT-related state is "Advantageous BB state", the AT-related state will be "Normal BB state" in the next game, (4) Currently If the AT-related state of is "AT in progress state", "specialization precursor state", "additional specialization state", or "recovery possibility production state", the state related to AT is "low probability" in the next game. It is configured to be "state" (because the information related to AT is cleared).

Next, in step 3516, the CPUC100 of the main control board M sets the game section after the next game to the “normal section”. Next, in step 3517, the CPUC100 of the main control board M turns off the advantageous section indicator YH because the “advantageous section” is completed, and proceeds to step 3528. It is configured to turn off the advantageous section indicator YH when the "advantageous section" ends and is set to the "normal section", but the detailed turn-off timing is not limited to the timing of the present embodiment. For example, the advantageous section indicator YH may be turned off when a game medal is inserted for a game in which the “advantageous section” ends and becomes the “normal section”. In other words, the advantageous section indicator YH may be turned off before the start lever D50 that enables the start of the next game is operated. On the other hand, in the case of Yes in step 3518, in step 3520, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines the game section after the next game as an “advantageous section”, and proceeds to step 3528.

Next, in step 3528, it was decided that the CPUC100 of the main control board M was newly set to the "advantageous section" in the next game (it was decided to set the "normal section" to the "advantageous section"). Judge whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 3528, in step 3530, the CPUC100 of the main control board M sets a predetermined value in the advantageous section remaining game number counter YKc-1. The predetermined value set in the advantageous section remaining game number counter YKc-1 is a fixed value (1500 in this example) common to all the set values. Next, in step 3534, the CPUC100 of the main control board M lights up the advantageous section indicator YH, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 1293). Even if No in step 3528, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1293). In the present embodiment, the lighting process of the advantageous section indicator YH is executed at the timing of step 3534, but the lighting timing of the advantageous section indicator YH is not limited to this, and the advantageous section indicator YH is lit. The timing is from the operation timing of the start lever in the game before the new "advantageous section" (the game in the "normal section") to the timing when the game medal can be inserted in the game in the new "advantageous section" (newly "" If the game before the "advantageous section" is a game related to replay, set appropriately during the period (until the timing when the start lever operation becomes effective in the new "advantageous section" game). May be good.

Next, FIG. 32 is a flowchart of timer interrupt processing according to the subroutine of step 1600 in this embodiment. The processing of the subroutine is started when the timer interrupt is started in the processing of step 1040 or step 1104, and thereafter, a predetermined time (T is set in this example, but a time of about 2 ms is set, for example). It is configured to be executed periodically with a cycle of).

First, in step 1602, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes processing at the start of an interrupt (for example, saving data held in a register in the CPUC100, checking the input port of a power failure detection signal, and the like). Next, in step 1604, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the power failure is currently detected (in the interrupt processing this time). If No in step 1604, in step 1900, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes a power-off processing described later. On the other hand, in the case of Yes in step 1604, in step 1606, the CPUC100 of the main control board M starts timer measurement (update processing of various timers managed by software). Next, in step 1608, the CPUC100 of the main control board M generates input port data and stores the data (updates the storage area of each input port data in the RAM area). Here, the input port data includes the settlement button D60, the start lever D50, the stop button D40, the door switch D80, the setting key switch M20, the setting / reset button M30, the power failure detection signal, the on reception sensor D10s, and the first on sensor. Information related to detection of the D20s, the second input sensor D30s, the first payout sensor H10s, the second payout sensor H20s, etc. (that is, the presence / absence of operation and the sensor detection state of these operating members are sampled at the interrupt interval T. Will be).

Next, in step 1610, the CPUC100 of the main control board M refers to the input port data in the RAM area, and turns on / off the door switch flag and the setting key switch flag according to the sampling result of each input port data. Switching (for example, when the switch state of the door switch D80 is continuously turned on over a plurality of samplings, by turning on the door switch flag, the front door DU is opened without being affected by noise. It can also be detected that Next, in step 6100, the CPUC100 of the main control board M is a rotation cylinder drive control process (process related to control of the drive of the reel M50) of all reels (left reel M51, middle reel M52, right reel M53). Will be described later). Next, in step 1612, the CPUC100 of the main control board M refers to the AT counter M60 and determines whether or not the counter value is greater than 0. In the case of Yes in step 1612, in step 1613, the CPUC100 of the main control board M displays the number of remaining AT games (number of AT games) on the AT counter value display device D280, and proceeds to step 1614. In addition, even if No in step 1612, the process proceeds to step 1614. If the AT counter value display device D280 controlled by the main control board M is not provided, the processes of steps 1612 and 1613 are unnecessary. Next, in step 1614, the CPUC100 of the main control board M outputs the output data to the output port. Here, the output data is data for driving the reel M50, the blocker D100, and the like. Next, in step 1616, in the CPUC100 of the main control board M, all the error flags are turned off (although not shown, the inserted medal backflow error flag, the inserted number number error flag, the inserted medal retention error flag, the inserted abnormal error flag, It is determined whether or not all the flags related to the error such as the payout abnormality error flag, the payout medal retention error flag, and the door switch flag are off). In the case of Yes in step 1616, in step 1618, the CPUC100 of the main control board M sets an error undetected command (a command to the sub side and a command related to the fact that an error is not detected) (for example, a register). (Set in the area), and the process proceeds to step 1622. On the other hand, if No in step 1616, in step 1620, the CPUC100 of the main control board M sets an error detection command (a command to the sub side and a command related to the fact that an error is detected) (for example, (Set in the register area), and the process proceeds to step 1622. In step 1620, information related to an error (an error currently occurring) corresponding to the error flag that is turned on is transmitted to the sub side. In addition, the error-undetected command may be set only when the error is cleared from the state in which the error occurred (only when it is determined that the flag is turned off), and when the error is not detected, the command is applicable. It is not necessary to execute the information setting process (step 1618 may be omitted). Further, the error detection command may execute the set process only when an error occurs from the state where no error has occurred, or from the state where the first error (for example, the inserted medal retention error) has occurred. The set process may be executed when the type of error changes as in the second error (for example, payout medal retention error).

Next, in step 1622, the CPUC100 of the main control board M transmits a control command (command on the sub side) (for example, if it is set in the register area in step 1618 or step 1620, it is set). Control commands will be sent). Here, as commands to be transmitted to the sub-control board S, a command related to the start lever operation timing (transmitted immediately after the start lever operation) and a command related to the first reel stop acceptance timing (the stop button was operated as the first stop). Command related to the second reel stop acceptance timing (sent immediately after operating the stop button as the second stop), command related to the third reel stop acceptance timing (send the stop button as the third stop) (Sent immediately after operation), command related to stop timing of stop display symbol (sent immediately after operating the stop button as display symbol stop), winning / re-winning Commands related to game winning information (sent immediately after starting lever operation (limited to advantageous sections)), commands related to bonus winning information (sent immediately after starting lever operation), commands related to RT status (all reels Commands related to AT status (sent between the stop of all reels and the start of the next game), commands related to the state related to AT (sent between the stop and the start of the next game), Highly secured failure counter value command (sent immediately after starting lever operation), command related to the number of AT remaining games (between all reels stopped until the next game starts, or immediately after starting lever operation (Sent), commands related to the game section (sent between the time all reels are stopped and the next game is started), and so on. Next, in step 1624, the CPUC100 of the main control board M outputs an external terminal signal (a signal for transmitting information from the rotating drum type game machine P to an external hall computer or the like). Although not shown, the information related to the error output by the external signal includes a door opening error, a closing error error, a payout error error, a closing reception sensor retention error, and the like. The door opening error is configured to be an error when the front door DU is opened and the door switch flag is turned on, and the insertion reception sensor retention error is when the insertion reception sensor detects the retention of the game medal. Is configured to cause an error. Next, in step 1626, the CPUC100 of the main control board M lights the output data of the LED (7-segment LED lamp, etc.) (for example, a predetermined 7-segment LED unit among the plurality of 7-segment LED units, and 7 Outputs (lights a predetermined segment of the segment) (so-called dynamic lighting). Next, in step 1628, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes an LED lighting mode (for example, changing the LED lighting color). Note that step 1628 does not have to be executed. Next, in step 1630, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes soft random number management processing (update processing of random number values managed by software, etc.). Next, in step 1632, the CPUC100 of the main control board M acquires the internal information register data (the internal information register has an area in which the error flag bit is set when an abnormality occurs in the random number generation circuit). .. Next, in step 1634, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the frequency of the random number update clock is normal (whether or not the abnormality flag bit indicating the frequency abnormality is set). Specifically, when the frequency of the random number update clock falls below a predetermined value, the error flag bit is set. In the case of Yes in step 1634, in step 1636, the CPUC100 of the main control board M has whether or not the update state of the built-in random number is normal (whether or not the error flag bit indicating the update state abnormality is set). To judge. In the case of Yes in step 1636, in step 1638, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes the interrupt end process and shifts to the next process (process of step 1602). On the other hand, if No in step 1634 or step 1636, in step 1640, the CPUC100 of the main control board M sets the built-in random number error display (for example, sets the error number in the register area). Next, in step 1300, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes the above-mentioned non-recoverable error processing.

Next, FIG. 33 is a flowchart of the rotating cylinder drive control process according to the subroutine of step 6100 of FIG. 32 in the present embodiment. In this process, the process for one reel is illustrated, but it should be added that the process corresponding to each of the left reel M51, the middle reel M52, and the right reel M53 is executed. First, in step 6102, the CPU MC of the main control board M determines whether or not the reel rotation start standby state start timing (for example, the timing after the execution of the process of step 1564 in FIG. 25) has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 6102, in step 6104, the CPUMC of the main control board M updates the reel drive state to the reel rotation start standby state, and proceeds to step 6106. On the other hand, even if No in step 6102, the process proceeds to step 6106.

Next, in step 6106, the CPUMC of the main control board M is the reel acceleration state start timing (the timing at which the reel rotation start standby state ends and the reel acceleration process starts to be executed. For example, in step 1260 of FIG. It is determined whether or not the processing execution timing) has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 6106, in step 6108, the CPUMC of the main control board M updates the reel driving state to the reel acceleration state. Next, in step 6110, the CPU MC of the main control board M executes the reel acceleration process, and proceeds to step 6112. When the reel is stopped, the rotation of the reel is started by this process. On the other hand, even if No in step 6106, the process proceeds to step 6112.

Next, in step 6112, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the current reel driving state is the reel acceleration state. In the case of Yes in step 6112, in step 6114, the CPU MC of the main control board M executed all interrupt processing for the end timing of the reel acceleration state (for example, the “number of interrupt executions” in the reel acceleration state in FIG. 35 described later). It is determined whether or not the timing) has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 6114, in step 6116, the CPUMC of the main control board M updates the reel drive state to the reel constant speed state. Next, in step 6118, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes the reel constant speed maintenance process, and proceeds to step 6120. Even if No in step 6112 or 6114, the process proceeds to step 6120.

Next, in step 6120, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the current reel driving state is the reel constant speed state. In the case of Yes in step 6120, in step 6122, the CPUMC of the main control board M is in the reel constant speed state (after executing the process of step 6116), and then the reel sensor is reeled (corresponding to the process of this subroutine). It is determined whether or not the index provided on the reel) is detected. Here, although not shown, each reel is provided with one (or two or more) indexes. The index is provided on the peripheral side surface of the reel, for example, in a convex shape, and is used when detecting whether or not the reel has passed a predetermined position, whether or not the reel has made one rotation, and the like. Then, each index is detected by the reel sensor. The signal of the reel sensor is electrically connected to the main control board M. Then, when the reel sensor detects (turns off) the index, the input signal is input to the main control board M, and it is detected that the reel has passed a predetermined position. If Yes in step 6122, it is determined that the reel rotation speed has reached a constant speed, and the process proceeds to step 6130. On the other hand, if No in step 6122, the CPUMC of the main control board M has elapsed a predetermined time (for example, a time value for executing interrupt processing 400 times) after the reel drive state is changed to the reel constant speed state in step 6124. Determine if it has been done. If No in step 6124, it is determined that the rotation speed of the reel has reached a constant speed, and the process proceeds to step 6130. As described above, in this example, it is possible to determine whether the reel rotation speed is normally constant by detecting the index by the reel sensor within a predetermined time after the reel drive state becomes the reel constant speed state. It is configured. In this example, the predetermined time is a time value for executing 400 interrupt processes (configured so that 400 steps can be rotated with 400 interrupt processes), and the reel rotation speed is constant. It is longer than the time for one rotation (one rotation) of the reel (for example, one rotation of the reel is 336 steps, and the time value for executing the interrupt process 336 times). With this configuration, how far is the distance between the index and the reel sensor (the distance until the reel rotates and the index is detected by the reel sensor) at the timing when the reel drive state becomes the constant speed state? However, if the reel rotation speed is constant, the reel sensor detects the index within the predetermined time (time value for executing interrupt processing 400 times) after the reel drive state becomes the reel constant speed state. It is configured to be able to.

Returning to the explanation of the flowchart, in the case of Yes in step 6124, in step 6126, the CPU MC of the main control board M updates the reel drive state to the reel acceleration state. Next, in step 6128, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes the reel reacceleration process, and shifts to the process of step 6130. As described above, in this example, when the reel sensor does not detect the index within a predetermined time (for example, the time value for executing the interrupt processing 400 times) after the reel driving state becomes the reel constant speed state. , The reel driving state is updated again to the reel acceleration state, and the reel reacceleration process (the excitation mode of the stepping motor is the same as that of the reel acceleration process) is executed. Even if No in step 6120, the process proceeds to step 6130. The reel re-acceleration process does not have to be the same as the reel acceleration process described above, and the reel re-acceleration process and the reel acceleration process require an interrupt process for each combination of exciting phases of the stepping motor and a combination of exciting phases. The number of times of execution may be different.

Next, FIG. 34 is a flowchart of the reel rotation stop process according to the subroutine of step 6200 of FIG. 32 in the present embodiment. First, in step 6106, the CPUMC of the main control board M becomes the reel deceleration standby state start timing (the timing at which the reel constant speed state ends, and for example, the reel deceleration standby state start timing is set by operating the stop button. It is determined whether or not the reel has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 6130, in step 6132, the CPUMC of the main control board M updates the reel drive state to the reel deceleration standby state, and proceeds to step 6134. On the other hand, even if No in step 6130, the process proceeds to step 6134.

Next, in step 6134, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the current reel driving state is the reel deceleration standby state. In the case of Yes in step 6136, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the reel deceleration standby state end timing (timing to start executing the reel deceleration process) has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 6136, in step 6138, the CPUMC of the main control board M starts deceleration of the reel (reel deceleration process). Next, in step 6140, the CPUMC of the main control board M updates the reel drive state to the reel deceleration state, and shifts to the process of step 6142. Even if No in step 6134 or step 6136, the process proceeds to step 6142.

Next, in step 6142, the CPU MC of the main control board M determines whether or not the current reel driving state is the reel deceleration state. In the case of Yes in step 6142, in step 6144, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the reel deceleration state end timing (timing at which the reel deceleration process is executed ends) has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 6144, in step 6146, the CPUMC of the main control board M updates the reel drive state to the reel stop state, and shifts to the next process (process of step 1612). Even if No in step 6142 or step 6144, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1612).

Next, with reference to FIG. 35, the rotational operation of the reel M50 of the rotating cylinder type game machine according to this example will be described in detail. The rotating cylinder type gaming machine according to this example starts the rotation of the stepping motor based on the operation of the start lever D50, and when the rotation speed of the reel reaches a constant speed, the constant speed is maintained thereafter (reel). When the drive state becomes the reel constant speed state, the reel constant speed maintenance process is executed, but the rotation speed may not actually reach the constant speed). Then, when any of the stop buttons is operated, stop control is performed on the reel (stepping motor) corresponding to the operated stop button. Here, the stepping motor is a 4-phase stepping motor having four phases of Φ0, Φ1, Φ2, and Φ3 (there is no problem even if it is not a 4-phase stepping motor), the phase to be excited is switched, and the stepping motor is changed to 1-2. Rotation control is performed by phase excitation. That is, the stepping motor can be rotated in the positive direction by cyclically changing the drive pulse data (combination of exciting phases). In the figure, of Φ0 to Φ3, the one indicating which phase is specified to be excited is shown in the column of “Phase to be excited” (details will be described later).

Further, as shown in the "reel rotation speed image" in the upper part of the figure, the drive state from the start of rotation to the stop of the stepping motor is divided into six, and the stepping motor is set according to the drive pattern according to each drive state. The drive is controlled. Here, the drive state includes a "reel stop state", a "reel rotation start standby state", a "reel acceleration state", a "reel constant speed state", a "reel deceleration standby state", and a "reel deceleration state". In the "reel rotation speed image", the vertical axis is the reel rotation speed and the speed increases upward, and the horizontal axis is time and the time elapses to the right. There is. In addition, the example shown in the figure illustrates the case where the reel rotation failure does not occur, and this is limited to the case where the reel rotation failure occurs due to factors such as pressing the reel by hand or causing step-out. It is not (the case where the reel rotation failure occurs will be described later).

The "reel stopped state" indicates a state in which the reel is stopped, and when the "reel stopped state" is in the "reel stopped state", the reel is in a stationary state and all four phases of the stepping motor are in a stationary state. Is in an unexcited state.

Next, in the "reel stop state", the reel drive state is updated to the "reel rotation start standby state" based on the operation of the start lever D50 at the timing (1) in the figure. .. Here, the "reel rotation start standby state" indicates a state of waiting from the operation of the start lever D50 until the acceleration processing (reel acceleration processing) of the stepping motor is started. This standby period is a period until the reel drive state shifts from the "reel stop state" to the "reel acceleration state". For example, the time from the time when the reel driving state becomes the "reel acceleration state" in the previous game is timed, and the start lever D50 related to this game is operated before the minimum game time (about 4.1 seconds) elapses. If this is done, the "reel rotation start standby state" is set.

Next, at the timing (2) in the figure, the reel drive state is updated from the "reel rotation start standby state" to the "reel acceleration state". Here, the "reel acceleration state" is a state in which the reel is accelerated in order to reach a constant speed from the state in which the reel is stationary. In this example, when the timer interrupt process is executed 220 times (“100 + 60 + 30 + 15 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 220”, refer to the number of interrupt executions in the reel acceleration state in the lower left of the figure), the acceleration state ends (the reel drive state is “reel constant speed”. It is configured to update to "state"). Next, the reel rotation speed reaches a constant speed at the timing (3) in the figure, in other words, at the timing when the "reel acceleration state" ends by executing one more timer interrupt process. At this timing, the reel drive state remains the "reel acceleration state". Next, at the timing (4) in the figure, the reel drive state is updated from the "reel rotation start standby state" to the "reel acceleration state", and then the timer interrupt process is executed 220 times to drive the reel. The state is updated to "reel constant speed state". As described above, in this example, after the reel rotation speed reaches a constant speed, the reel drive state remains in the "reel acceleration state" for one timer interrupt process, in other words, the final in the "reel acceleration state". The combination of exciting phases "φ3, φ0" is configured to execute interrupt processing only once, which is the same as the "reel constant speed state" in which interrupt processing is executed once for each combination of exciting phases. (When the reel rotation abnormality does not occur). With this configuration, the acceleration process until the reel rotation speed reaches a constant speed can be stably executed.

Here, the lower part of the figure is a “step motor excitation image”. In the figure, an image of step motor excitation when the reel drive state is the “reel acceleration state” and an image of the step motor excitation when the reel drive state is the “reel constant speed state” are illustrated. First, the step motor excitation image when the reel driving state is the “reel acceleration state” will be described in detail with reference to the lower left part of the figure. The "exciting phase" is a combination of the exciting phases, and the "interrupt execution count" indicates the number of times the interrupt processing to be excited by the combination of the exciting phases is executed. In this example, when the reel acceleration process is executed, the step motor (stepping motor) is configured to excite 220 times of the timer interrupt process, and the interrupt process is performed 100 times at (KA) "φ0" → ( KB) Interrupt processing 60 times at "φ0, φ1" → (KC) Interrupt processing 30 times at "φ1" → (KD) Interrupt processing 15 times at "φ1, φ2" → (KE) "φ2" Interrupt processing 8 times at (KF) "φ2, φ3" → Interrupt processing 2 times at (KG) "φ3" → Interrupt at (KH) "φ3, φ0" It is configured to execute interrupt processing once to excite the step motor (stepping motor) (the number of interrupt processing executions is just an example, and there is no problem even if it is changed). As described above, in this example, when the reel acceleration processing is executed, the number of times the interrupt processing is executed by the combination of the exciting phases of 1 is gradually reduced.

Next, the step motor excitation image when the reel driving state is the “reel constant speed state” will be described in detail with reference to the lower right part of the figure. In this example, when the reel is in the constant speed state (when executing the reel constant speed maintenance process), the interrupt process is performed once at (TA) "φ0" → (TB) at "φ0, φ1". Interrupt processing once → (TC) “φ1” interrupt processing once → (TD) “φ1, φ2” interrupt processing once → (TE) “φ2” interrupt processing once → (TF) Interrupt processing once at "φ2, φ3" → (TG) Interrupt processing once at "φ3" → (TH) Interrupt processing once at "φ3, φ0" → (TA) " Interrupt processing is executed once at "φ0" → (TB) Interrupt processing is performed once at "φ0, φ1" → ..., (TA) to (TG) are repeatedly executed once for each interrupt processing. It is configured to excite a step motor (stepping motor). As described above, in this example, when the reel constant speed maintenance process is executed, the interrupt process is executed once with the combination of the exciting phases of 1.

Next, in a situation where the reel drive state is the "reel constant speed state", the stop button corresponding to any of the reels is operated at the timing (5) in the figure, and the reel drive state is the "reel deceleration standby state". Is updated to. Here, the "reel constant speed state" is a state in which the reel rotation speed is constant (a state in which the combination of exciting phases is switched for each interrupt process), and is a "reel deceleration standby state". "" Indicates a state from the operation of the stop button by the player to the start of the stop control (in the reel deceleration standby state, the reel slides corresponding to the number of slip frames). .. The period of this drive state is determined based on the operation timing of the stop button.

Next, at the timing (6) in the figure, the reel drive state is updated from the "reel deceleration standby state" to the "reel deceleration state", and the reel deceleration is started. When the reel drive state is updated from the "reel deceleration standby state" to the "reel deceleration state", a specific phase of the stepping motor is continuously excited for a predetermined time in order to stop the rotation of the reel. As an example, four phases are used. Performs 4-phase excitation to excite everything. Then, when the excitation is performed for a predetermined time, the reel drive state is updated from the "reel deceleration state" to the "reel stop state" at the timing (7) in the figure, and the reel is stopped.

As described above, in the reeling game machine according to this example, the reel sensor detects the index within a predetermined time (for example, the time value for executing the interrupt process 400 times) after the reel driving state becomes the reel constant speed state. If not, the reel drive state is updated again to the reel acceleration state, and the reel reacceleration process (the excitation mode of the stepping motor is the same as the reel acceleration process) is executed. When the reel driving state is the reel acceleration state, in other words, it is not determined whether or not the reel acceleration is normally executed during the execution of the reel acceleration processing. Further, whether the reel has been accelerated normally, in other words, whether the reel is at a constant speed (whether a reel rotation failure has occurred) is the process of step 6124 (the reel drive state is changed to the reel constant speed state). Judgment is made after a predetermined time has passed since the update), but the reel is not at a constant speed because the reel sensor did not detect the index in the process of step 6124 (reel rotation failure). When it is determined that the reel acceleration process has occurred), the reel acceleration process is executed, that is, the reel acceleration process is executed again from the beginning. In this way, by configuring so that it is not determined whether or not the reel acceleration is normally executed during the execution of the reel acceleration processing, even if a reel rotation failure occurs during the execution of the reel acceleration processing, after that, , When the reel rotation failure is resolved and the reel rotation speed can be reached to a constant speed by the remaining reel acceleration processing until the reel acceleration processing is completed, the reel drive state is the reel constant speed state. When the reel sensor detects the index by the time the predetermined time elapses after being updated to, the reel constant speed maintenance process is executed without executing the reacceleration process, and the player is executed by executing the reel reacceleration process. Can make it difficult for the game to proceed (the stop button cannot be operated). Further, during the execution of the reel acceleration process, the amount of data required for the process related to the rotation of the reel can be reduced by configuring so that the process of determining whether or not the reel acceleration is normally executed is not executed. In addition, since it is configured in this way, if a reel rotation failure occurs during the reel acceleration process of the rotating cylinder type gaming machine according to this example, the following actions are taken. It becomes.

<Action 1>
Reel rotation starts → Reel drive state is updated to reel acceleration state → Reel acceleration process is executed → Reel acceleration process is finished execution → Reel drive state is updated to reel constant speed state → Reel constant speed maintenance process is executed → Reel constant Reel rotation failure occurs during execution of speed maintenance process → Reel rotation failure is detected → Reel re-acceleration process is executed It is configured to be able to operate as described above.
In addition, the reel rotation failure means that the reel rotation is hindered by a member provided near the reel such as the reel window D160 (the reel rubs against the reel window D160, etc.), step-out occurs, and the reel accelerates. Refers to the case where is not executed normally. As described above, by configuring the reel reacceleration process to be executed even when a reel rotation failure occurs during the execution of the reel constant speed maintenance process, the game can proceed smoothly.

<Action 2>
Reel rotation starts → Reel drive state is updated to reel acceleration state → Reel acceleration processing is executed → Reel rotation failure occurs during execution of reel acceleration processing → Reel acceleration processing is continuously executed → Reel acceleration processing execution ends → Update the reel drive state to the reel constant speed state → Execute the reel constant speed maintenance process → Detect the reel rotation failure → Execute the reel reacceleration process It is configured to be able to operate as described above. In this way, even if a reel rotation failure occurs during the execution of the reel acceleration process, the reel reacceleration process is executed when the reel rotation failure is detected thereafter, so that the game can proceed smoothly. Will be possible. Further, as described above, even if a reel acceleration process occurs during the execution of the reel acceleration process, the reel acceleration process is continuously executed and the interrupt is the same as when the reel acceleration process does not occur. When the reel acceleration processing is executed for the number of times, the execution of the reel acceleration processing is terminated. With this configuration, if a reel rotation failure occurs immediately after the start of execution of the reel acceleration process, the reel rotation speed can easily reach a constant speed without executing the reel reacceleration process. it can.

<Action 3>
Reel rotation starts → Reel drive state is updated to reel acceleration state → Reel acceleration processing is executed → Power off processing is executed during execution of reel acceleration processing → Recovery from power off → Reel acceleration processing is continuously executed (not yet) Execute reel acceleration processing of processing) → Reel rotation failure occurs during execution of reel acceleration processing → Continue execution of reel acceleration processing (execute unprocessed reel acceleration processing) → End of execution of reel acceleration processing → Reel drive Update the state to the reel constant speed state → execute the reel constant speed maintenance process → detect the reel rotation failure → execute the reel reacceleration process It is configured to be able to operate as described above. In this way, even if the power off processing is executed during the execution of the reel acceleration processing, the reel acceleration processing is continuously executed after the power is restored, and then the reel driving state is updated to the reel constant speed state for a predetermined time. If the reel sensor does not detect the index within that time, the reel reacceleration process is executed, so that the game can proceed smoothly. Further, when the power off processing is executed during the execution of the reel acceleration processing, the reel acceleration processing is continuously executed after the power is restored, and then the reel drive state is updated to the reel constant speed state within a predetermined time. When the sensor detects the index, the reel reacceleration process is not executed. By such a configuration, the player cannot proceed with the game (the stop button cannot be operated) due to the reel reacceleration process. Can be made less likely to occur. The power off processing may be referred to as a power off processing.

<< Action after final stop button operation >>
In the rotating cylinder type gaming machine according to this example, the final reel (the reel rotating to the end, also referred to as the third reel) is stopped after the operation of the final stop button (third stop button), and the winning combination Although it is configured so that the payout of the game medal can be executed when the symbol combination is stopped and displayed, the action related to the payout of the game medal may be configured as follows.

<Action 1>
Reel rotation starts as a winning game → Reel drive state is updated to constant speed state → Constant speed state maintenance process is executed → Stop button reception is enabled → 1st stop as stop operation of 1st reel Operate the button → Display the stop of the 1st reel → Operate the 2nd stop button as the stop operation of the 2nd reel → Display the stop of the 2nd reel → Operate the 3rd stop button as the stop operation of the 3rd reel (3rd stop button) (Accepts the operation of) → Updates the reel drive state to the reel deceleration state → Power off occurs → The third reel moves to the stop display position (rotation) → Detects power off → Executes power off processing → Power restore → Reel The symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination may be configured to stop display → execute the process related to the payout of the game medal so as to act as described above. With this configuration, the stop operation of the third stop button is accepted in the game such as the common bell mentioned above, which wins a small winning combination that can be won regardless of the operation timing of the stop button if it is won. Even if a power outage occurs immediately after a power outage in the amusement park, regardless of the planned stop position of the third reel (even if the number of slip frames is the maximum), the power outage is detected before the power outage is detected. It can be configured to complete the movement (rotation) to the planned stop position. In addition, when the symbol combination (for example, the common bell) constituting the winning combination is stopped and displayed after the power is restored, the game medal can be paid out normally, and the player is unlikely to be disadvantaged. Can be configured.

<Action 2>
Reel rotation starts as a winning combination game → Reel drive state is updated to constant speed state → Constant speed state maintenance process is executed → Stop button reception is enabled → 1st stop as stop operation of 1st reel Operate the button → Display the stop of the 1st reel → Operate the 2nd stop button as the stop operation of the 2nd reel → Display the stop of the 2nd reel → Operate the 3rd stop button as the stop operation of the 3rd reel (3rd stop button) (Accepts the operation of) → Updates the reel drive state to the reel deceleration state → Reel rotation failure occurs → The third reel cannot move (rotate) to the scheduled stop position as seen from the player → Winner in the reel from the player's point of view Although the symbol combination corresponding to is not stopped and displayed, it is determined that the symbol combination is normal in the determination process of step 1269 (when it is determined that the reel stop control based on the operation of the stop button is completed normally). For example, in a game in which the bell role is won, the symbol combination corresponding to the bell role, which is the winning combination, is not stopped and displayed on the reel from the player's point of view, but the game machine corresponding to the operation of the stop button of the player. When the stop control for stopping and displaying the symbol combination corresponding to the bell combination is normally executed by the internal processing) → The processing related to the payout of the game medal is executed. It may be configured to operate as described above. With this configuration, even if the reel rotation failure occurs immediately after accepting the stop operation of the third stop button, and the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is not stopped and displayed on the reel from the player's point of view. , Accepts the operation of the stop button corresponding to each reel (left reel, middle reel, right reel) at the timing when the winning combination is won by the internal processing of the game machine and the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination can be stopped and displayed. When the stop control for displaying the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is normally executed, the game medal can be paid out, and the player is less likely to be disadvantaged. can do. The timing at which the reel rotation failure occurs is not limited to the above example, and the reel rotation failure occurs during the period from the stop display of the second reel to the execution of the process related to the payout of the game medal, and as a result, the first reel rotation failure occurs. 3 It is applicable when the reel corresponding to the stop cannot be stopped at the scheduled stop position (it can also be applied to the action related to the reel rotation failure illustrated below). In the above action 2, the action in the game in which the winning combination is won is illustrated. That is, if the reel rotation failure does not occur, the following actions are obtained (if the rotation failure and the power failure do not occur in other actions, the same action is obtained. May be good).
Reel rotation starts as a winning combination game → Reel drive state is updated to constant speed state → Constant speed state maintenance process is executed → Stop button reception is enabled → 1st stop as stop operation of 1st reel Operate the button → Display the stop of the 1st reel → Operate the 2nd stop button as the stop operation of the 2nd reel → Display the stop of the 2nd reel → Operate the 3rd stop button as the stop operation of the 3rd reel (3rd stop button) (Accepts the operation of) → Updates the reel drive state to the reel deceleration state → The third reel moves to the scheduled stop position as seen from the player → The symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is stopped and displayed on the reel from the player's point of view In the determination process of step 1269, it is determined that the symbol combination is normal. → The process related to the payout of the game medal is executed. The winning combination in the above-mentioned or later-described action is the operation timing of the stop button in the winning game. Regardless, it may be a winning combination that can be won (for example, a common bell), or a winning combination that may or may not be won depending on the operation timing of the stop button in the winning game (for example, watermelon A, watermelon B, etc.) It may be a cherry). In addition, in a game in which a predetermined winning combination is won in a predetermined gaming state, when the reel rotation failure or power failure does not occur and the symbol combination corresponding to the predetermined winning combination is stopped and displayed, the reel backlight ( When it is configured to execute the back lamp effect corresponding to the predetermined winning combination as the effect (sometimes referred to as the back lamp effect) in which the back lamp (sometimes referred to as the back lamp) blinks, the game state is set to the predetermined game state. Even if the reel rotation failure occurs in the game in which the predetermined winning combination is won and the symbol combination corresponding to the predetermined winning combination is not stopped and displayed, the back corresponding to the predetermined winning combination is not displayed. It may be configured to perform a lamp effect. Further, in this operation, the case where the reel corresponding to the third stop could not be stopped at the scheduled stop position was illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the reel corresponding to the first stop is scheduled to stop due to poor reel rotation. It may be applied when the reel cannot be stopped at the position, or when the reel corresponding to the second stop cannot be stopped at the scheduled stop position due to poor reel rotation (the same applies to other actions). Applicable).

<Action 3>
Reel rotation starts as a winning combination game → Reel drive state is updated to constant speed state → Constant speed state maintenance process is executed → Stop button reception is enabled → 1st stop as stop operation of 1st reel Operate the button → Display the stop of the 1st reel → Operate the 2nd stop button as the stop operation of the 2nd reel → Display the stop of the 2nd reel → Power off occurs and the stable supply of power to the game machine stops → No. Operate the 3rd stop button as the 3 reel stop operation (accept the operation of the 3rd stop button) → Update the reel drive state to the reel deceleration state → Detect power off → Execute power off processing → 3 reel is a game Cannot move (rotate) to the planned stop position from the perspective of the player → The symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is not stopped and displayed on the reel from the player's perspective, but the determination process in step 1269 determines that the symbol combination is normal. (This is a case where it is determined that the reel stop control based on the operation of the stop button has been completed normally. For example, in a game in which the bell role is won, the reel role corresponds to the bell role, which is a winning combination from the player's point of view. The symbol combination to be played was not stopped and displayed, but when the stop control to stop and display the symbol combination corresponding to the bell role was normally executed by the processing inside the game machine corresponding to the operation of the stop button of the player) → Execution of processing related to payout of game medals It may be configured to operate as described above. The timing of detecting the power failure, the timing of stopping the power supply to the game machine due to the power failure, the timing of determining that the symbol combination is normal in the determination process of step 1269, and the timing of returning the power are , Not limited to the above timing, the timing to detect the power outage and the power to the game machine due to the power outage occur during the period from the stop display of the second reel to the execution of the processing related to the payout of the game medal. It suffices if there is a timing at which the supply of the above is stopped, a timing at which the symbol combination is determined to be normal in the determination process of step 1269, and a timing at which the power is restored, and the reel corresponding to the third stop button when the power is cut off Is applicable in all cases where it is not possible to stop at the planned stop position (the same applies to the actions including power failure illustrated below). With this configuration, the power was cut off immediately before (or immediately after) the stop operation of the third stop button was accepted, and the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination could not be stopped and displayed on the reel from the player's point of view. Even in this case, the stop button corresponding to each reel (left reel, middle reel, right reel) can be displayed at the timing when the winning combination is won by the internal processing of the game machine and the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination can be stopped and displayed. If the operation is accepted and the stop control for stopping and displaying the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is normally executed, the game medal is paid out after the power is restored (the hopper is driven to pay out the game medal). It is possible to execute not only the payout from the reeling port but also the display (the number of credits) of the credit number display device), and it is configured so that the player is unlikely to be disadvantaged. Can be done. The timing at which the power supply is cut off and the power supply to the game machine is stopped may be referred to as the timing at which the power supply is cut off. In addition, in a game in which a predetermined winning combination is won in a predetermined gaming state, when the reel rotation failure or power failure does not occur and the symbol combination corresponding to the predetermined winning combination is stopped and displayed, the reel backlight ( When it is configured to execute the back lamp effect corresponding to the predetermined winning combination as the effect (sometimes referred to as the back lamp effect) in which the back lamp (sometimes referred to as the back lamp) blinks, the game state is set to the predetermined game state. In the game in which the predetermined winning combination is won, even if the power is cut off and the symbol combination corresponding to the predetermined winning combination is not stopped and displayed, the back lamp corresponding to the predetermined winning combination is not displayed. It may be configured to perform the effect. Further, in this operation, the case where the reel corresponding to the third stop could not be stopped at the scheduled stop position was illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the reel corresponding to the first stop is at the scheduled stop position due to the power failure. It may be applied when the reel cannot be stopped at the second stop, or it may be applied when the reel corresponding to the second stop cannot be stopped at the planned stop position due to the power failure (the same applies to other actions). Is). In this example, "the supply of electric power to the game machine is stopped" and "the stable supply of electric power to the game machine is stopped" do not mean that the electric power supplied to the game machine is 0, but the power supply. The power supplied to the game machine may be less than the power supplied when the game machine is in operation due to a disconnection or the like, or the power supply to the game machine may be cut off.

<Action 4>
Reel rotation starts as a lost game → Reel drive state is updated to constant speed state → Constant speed state maintenance process is executed → Stop button reception is enabled → 1st stop button as stop operation of 1st reel → 1st reel stop display → 2nd reel stop operation as 2nd stop button → 2nd reel stop display → 3rd reel stop operation as 3rd stop button (3rd stop button (Accept operation) → Update reel drive state to reel deceleration state → Reel rotation failure occurs → 3rd reel cannot move (rotate) to the scheduled stop position from the player's point of view → Reel wins from the player's point of view The corresponding symbol combination is stopped and displayed, but in the determination process of step 1269, it is determined that the symbol combination is normal (when it is determined that the reel stop control based on the operation of the stop button is normally completed, for example. , In the game that was lost, the symbol combination corresponding to the loss was not stopped and displayed on the reel from the player's point of view, but the symbol corresponding to the loss is processed by the internal processing of the game machine corresponding to the operation of the stop button of the player. When the stop control for displaying the combination is stopped normally) → The game medal is not paid out. It may be configured to operate as described above. With this configuration, in a game in which the result of the winning combination lottery is lost, a reel rotation failure occurs immediately after accepting the stop operation of the third stop button, and the reel corresponds to the winning combination from the player's point of view. Even if the symbol combination to be played is stopped and displayed, it will be lost due to the internal processing of the game machine, and each reel (left reel, middle reel, right reel) will be supported at the timing when the symbol combination corresponding to the loss can be stopped and displayed. If the operation of the stop button is accepted and the stop control for displaying the symbol combination corresponding to the loss is normally executed, the game medal is displayed even if the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is stopped and displayed. It can be configured not to execute the payout, and can be a fair game machine, and can be a game machine that does not cause an unintended disadvantage to the game field. Note that the above-mentioned action 4 is not limited to loss, and for example, in a game in which the bell is not won (a game in which the replay role is won, a game in which the watermelon is won, etc.), a reel rotation failure occurs. It should be added that it can be applied even when the symbol combination corresponding to the bell is stopped and displayed. Further, in such a case, the symbol combination displayed as stopped from the player's point of view is a symbol combination that is inconsistent with the internal lottery result due to poor rotation, but in the determination process of step 1269. Since it is determined that the symbol combination is normal, a display determination error (unrecoverable error) does not occur (it is not determined that a display determination error has occurred).

<Action 5>
Reel rotation starts as a lost game → Reel drive state is updated to constant speed state → Constant speed state maintenance process is executed → Stop button reception is enabled → 1st stop button as stop operation of 1st reel → 1st reel stop display → 2nd stop button is operated as 2nd reel stop operation → 2nd reel stop display → Power supply is cut off and power supply to the game machine is stopped → 3rd reel Operate the 3rd stop button as the stop operation of (accepts the operation of the 3rd stop button) → Update the reel drive state to the reel deceleration state → Detect power off → Execute power off processing → 3 reel is from the player It is not possible to move (rotate) to the planned stop position by looking at it → The symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is stopped and displayed on the reel from the player's point of view, but the judgment process in step 1269 determines that the symbol combination is normal (stop) This is the case when it is determined that the reel stop control based on the button operation has been completed normally. For example, in a game that has been lost, the symbol combination corresponding to the loss is not stopped and displayed on the reel from the player's point of view. , When the stop control to stop and display the symbol combination corresponding to the loss is normally executed by the processing inside the game machine corresponding to the operation of the stop button of the player) → Power recovery → The game medal is not paid out It may be configured to act as follows. With this configuration, in a game that has been lost as a result of the winning combination lottery, the power off processing is executed immediately after accepting the stop operation of the third stop button, and the reel corresponds to the winning combination from the player's point of view. Even if the symbol combination to be played is stopped and displayed, it will be lost due to the internal processing of the game machine, and each reel (left reel, middle reel, right reel) will be supported at the timing when the symbol combination corresponding to the loss can be stopped and displayed. If the operation of the stop button is accepted and the stop control for displaying the symbol combination corresponding to the loss is normally executed, the game medal is displayed even if the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is stopped and displayed. It can be configured not to execute the payout, and it can be a fair game machine and can be a game machine that does not cause an unintended disadvantage to the game field. The above action 5 is not limited to loss, and for example, in a game in which the bell is not won (a game in which the replay role is won, a game in which the watermelon is won, etc.), a reel rotation failure occurs. It should be added that it can be applied even when the symbol combination corresponding to the bell is stopped and displayed. Further, in such a case, the symbol combination displayed as stopped from the player's point of view is a symbol combination that is inconsistent with the internal lottery result due to poor rotation, but in the determination process of step 1269. Since it is determined that the symbol combination is normal, a display determination error (unrecoverable error) does not occur (it is not determined that a display determination error has occurred).

The administrator can also operate the game machine with peace of mind. The RT transition role is a role of shifting to an RT state different from the predetermined RT state by stopping and displaying the symbol combination in the predetermined RT state, and the RT transition combination depending on the staying RT state. It can be different whether or not. That is, in the RT state A, the predetermined combination A is the RT transition combination, but in the RT state B, the predetermined combination A may not be the RT transition combination, and in the RT state A, the predetermined combination A is the RT transition combination. However, in the RT state B, the predetermined combination A may not be won.

Reel rotation starts as a game that wins the role of shifting RT state (sometimes called RT transition role) → Reel drive state is updated to constant speed state → Constant speed state maintenance process is executed → Stop button is accepted Enabled → Operate the 1st stop button as the stop operation of the 1st reel → Operate the 2nd stop button as the stop operation of the 1st reel → Operate the 2nd stop button as the stop operation of the 2nd reel → Display the stop of the 2nd reel → Power off occurs Then, the supply of power to the game machine is stopped → the third stop button is operated as the stop operation of the third reel (the operation of the third stop button is accepted) → the reel drive state is updated to the reel deceleration state → the power failure is detected. → Execute power off processing → The 3rd reel cannot move (rotate) to the scheduled stop position from the player's point of view → The symbol combination corresponding to the RT transition role from the player's point of view is not displayed as stopped, but step 1269 In the judgment process of, it is judged that the symbol combination is normal → the RT state shifts (the RT state may shift after the power is restored, or the RT state may shift before the power is restored).
It may be configured to work as described above. With this configuration, in the game in which the RT transition combination is won, the power off processing is executed immediately after receiving the stop operation of the third stop button, and the reel corresponds to the RT transition combination from the player's point of view. Even if the symbol combination is not stopped and displayed, each reel (left reel, middle) is at the timing when the RT transition combination is won by the internal processing of the game machine and the symbol combination corresponding to the RT transition combination can be stopped and displayed. The operation of the stop button corresponding to the reel (reel, right reel) is accepted, and when the stop control for displaying the stop display of the symbol combination corresponding to the RT transition combination is normally executed, the symbol corresponding to the RT transition combination is accepted. Even if the combination is not displayed as stopped, the RT state will shift. By configuring in this way, it is possible to make a game machine that does not cause an unintended disadvantage to the player, and it is possible to proceed with the game along the transition of the game state originally possessed by the game machine. The administrator can also operate the game machine with peace of mind.

Next, FIG. 36 is a flowchart of power off / off processing according to the subroutine of step 1900 in FIG. 35. First, in step 1902, the CPUC100 of the main control board M saves the stack pointer. Next, in step 1904, the CPUC100 of the main control board M turns on the power-off processed flag (for example, updates the inside of the power-off processed flag area of the RAM area with a value corresponding to on). Next, in step 1906, the CPUC100 of the main control board M calculates a checksum from the start address of the RAM area to the address immediately before the checksum area, and error detection information (for example, the calculation) based on the calculated checksum. The lower 1 byte of the checksum, or its complement) is set in the checksum area. Next, in step 1912, the CPUC100 of the main control board M prohibits writing in the RAM, and proceeds to step 1914. Next, in step 1914, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes an infinite loop process for waiting for a reset.

Next, FIG. 37 shows an example of an image diagram of a push order display of the rotating cylinder type game machine according to this example. The table on the figure shows the reel stop order and the instruction number indicated by the push order navigation to be executed (information related to the push order, which is determined by the main control board M and transmitted to the sub control board S in this example). It is a table showing the correspondence with. For example, the instruction number for notifying "middle-> right-> left" as the pressing order indicates that it is "A5". Next, on the left side of the figure, the push order display device D270, the advantageous section display YH, and the effect display device S40 when the push order is “left → middle → right” (corresponding instruction number is “A1”). The image displayed in is illustrated. Here, the push order display device D270 of this example is a 7-segment display system and also serves as a payout number display device. When the medals are paid out, the number of medals paid out is displayed as a two-digit number on the push order display device D270. Here, even when the push order navigation is executed, if the display of the push order display device D270 is displayed as a two-digit numerical value, the display on the push order display device D270 is whether the number of medals paid out or the push order. It becomes difficult to determine whether it is a navigation display. Therefore, in order to distinguish between the number of medals paid out and the push order navigation display, the push order display device D270 should display "=" in the left digit like "= 1". By configuring, when the display of the push order display device D270 is a two-digit number, it is a display of the number of medals to be paid out, and the left side is "=" and the right side is a number as the display of the push order display device D270. If there is, it is configured so that it can be determined that it is a push order navigation display, and it is configured to prevent misidentification of the player. Further, in the advantageous section display YH provided at the lower right of the push order display device D270, a lamp indicating that the current game section is an “advantageous section” is lit. At the same time, a display of "remaining 40 games" indicating the number of remaining games in the "advantageous section" (or "AT in progress") is displayed on the effect display device S40. Further, the right side in the figure shows an image displayed on the push order display device D270 and the effect display device S40 when the push order is “middle → left → right” (corresponding instruction number is “A3”). There is. In addition, since the current game section is the "advantageous section", the advantageous section indicator YH lights up, and the display of "remaining 25 games" indicating the number of remaining games in the "advantageous section" is displayed on the effect display device S40. Is displayed. It should be noted that, among the conditional devices in which the combination displayed as stopped depending on the reel stop order differs depending on the push order combination (the conditional device accompanied by the payout of medals, for example, the bell) and the push order replay combination (depending on the reel stop order) Among the condition devices having different stops and displays, the segment display of the instruction number of the condition device related to the re-game combination) may be different, and the display method of the push order display device D270 is limited to 7 segments. Instead, for example, an LED display may be used to light a plurality of LEDs according to a lighting pattern corresponding to an instruction number to give an instruction. The credit number display device D200 may be provided with an advantageous section display YH at the lower right. In this case, the timing for turning on the advantageous section indicator YH is preferably until the operation of the settlement button D60 becomes effective. When the player quits the game, he / she visually checks the credit number display device D200 to check whether any medals remain. Then, if there are medals remaining, the settlement button D60 is operated. That is, by turning on the checkout button D60 before it becomes effective, it is possible to prevent the game from being accidentally stopped even though it is an "advantageous section" from the next game. be able to.

Further, the notification mode of the game section in the advantageous section display YH is not limited to this example, and a section display similar to the advantageous section display YH is provided at the lower right of both of the two 7 segments (the section display is provided. It may be configured (providing two), and in such a configuration, when the section indicator on the left side lights up, it notifies that the current game section is a "normal section", and on the other hand, it is on the right side. When the section display lights up, it may be configured to notify that the current game section is an "advantageous section". Furthermore, the "normal section" and the "advantageous section" are distinguished according to the color and lighting mode when the section indicator is lit (for example, "green" in the "normal section" and "red" in the "advantageous section". Alternatively, it may be configured to be lit in the "normal section" and "blinking" in the "advantageous section"). Furthermore, it is configured to change the display mode of the section display according to "AT during BB internal game", "AT during BB state", "AT precursor state", "AT during state", etc. in the "advantageous section". You may. Further, it may be configured so that the current gaming section can be recognized as a "standby section" by distinguishing it from a "normal section" and an "advantageous section". However, the distinction between "normal section" and "advantageous section" is made easy to distinguish, such as by using different section indicators, and the player recognizes whether or not the current game section is "advantageous section". It is preferable to make it easy to do.

Further, regarding the display on the effect display device S40 indicating the number of remaining games in the "advantageous section", for example, in the "AT precursor state" or "AT preparing", the number of remaining games in the "advantageous section" is not displayed. The configuration may be such that the disadvantage to the player that the number of remaining games in the "advantageous section" is subtracted in a state where the profit is relatively low for the player is not notified). However, even in such a configuration, it is preferable to turn on the section indicator to notify the player that the "advantageous section" is in progress. At the same time, it is preferable that the section display is configured to be controlled by the main control board M side, and the section display is installed at a position where the display is easily visible to the player.

Next, the control process executed on the sub-control board S side will be described with reference to FIGS. 38 to 57.

In step 2204, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the sub-side program start process is being executed. If Yes in step 2204, the process proceeds to step 2210. On the other hand, if No in step 2204, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S calculates the checksum in step 2206. Next, in step 2208, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S saves various data (checksum calculation result, address of the program being executed, etc.), and proceeds to step 2210.

Next, in step 2210, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not 500 ms has elapsed. Here, when it is determined that 500 ms has passed, the power off processing is terminated. On the other hand, if No in step 2210, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines in step 2212 whether or not the power supply has been restored. In the case of Yes in step 2212, in step 2214, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S updates the number of momentary interruption occurrences. Next, in step 2216, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S starts the operation of the watchdog timer and returns to the process executed when the power is turned off. If it is determined in the determination process of step 2212 that the power supply has not been restored, the process is returned to step 2210 described above.

In the case of No in step 2258, in other words, in the case of the second reel stop reception reception timing, in step 2550, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S calls and executes the subroutine of the second reel stop reception reception processing described later. Then, the process proceeds to step 7100.

Next, in the case of Yes in step 2258, in other words, if it is not the second reel stop acceptance timing, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines in step 2262 whether or not it is the third reel stop acceptance timing. .. In the case of No in step 2262, in other words, in the case of the third reel stop acceptance timing, in step 3200, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S calls the subroutine of the third reel stop production related determination process described later. And execute. Next, in step 2600, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes the third body stop acceptance processing described later, and proceeds to step 7100.

Next, in the case of Yes in step 2262, in other words, if it is not the third reel stop acceptance timing, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines in step 2266 whether or not it is the stop timing of the stop display symbol. .. In the case of Yes in step 2266, in other words, when it is the stop timing of the stop display symbol, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes the stop display symbol time processing (not shown) in step 2268, and step 7100. Move to. On the other hand, if No in step 2266, in other words, if it is not the stop timing of the stop display symbol, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S immediately shifts to step 7100.

Next, in step 7200, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes the standby screen display control process described later, and shifts to the next process (process of step 2110).

Next, FIG. 42 is a subroutine showing the effect-related determination process at the time of start lever operation, which is called and executed in the process of step 3000 of FIG. First, in step 3002, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the state related to the AT of the game is a “high probability state”. In the case of Yes in step 3002, in step 3004, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S has the number of high-securing obstacle games remaining at the present time (high probability state) based on the high-securing obstacle counter value command received from the main control board M side. Check how many more games are guaranteed). Next, in step 3050, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S calls and executes a subroutine of the battle effect execution feasibility determination process described later, and proceeds to step 3006. Next, in step 3006, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not it is determined that the battle effect is executed in the game. In the case of Yes in step 3006, in step 3008, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines the current stay stage, the state related to the AT of the game, the state related to the AT of the next game, and the current number of high-securing obstacle games. Based on this, the stay stage transition lottery (lottery for whether or not to change the stay stage) is executed with reference to the stay stage determination table (see FIG. 44), and the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 2300). Even if No in step 3006, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 2300). On the other hand, if No in step 3002, in step 3010, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the state related to the AT of the game is a “low probability state”. In the case of Yes in step 3010, in step 3012, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S uses the stay stage determination table (FIG. 44) based on the current stay stage, the state related to the AT of the game, and the state related to the AT of the next game. (See), the stay stage transition lottery is executed, and the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 2300). On the other hand, if No in step 3010, in step 3014, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the state related to AT of the game is "AT in progress". In the case of Yes in step 3014, in step 3100, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S calls and executes a subroutine of the effect determination process during AT, which will be described later, and shifts to the next process (process of step 2300). On the other hand, if No in step 3014, in step 3016, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the state related to the AT of the game is the “recoverable / non-recoverable effect state”. In the case of Yes in step 3016, in step 3150, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S calls and executes a subroutine of the resurrection possibility effect determination process described later, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 2300). On the other hand, if No in step 3016, in step 3018, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S performs the advance notice effect and the stay stage based on the current stay stage, the state related to the AT of the game, and the state related to the AT of the next game. The determination is made, and the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 2300). The stay stage is an effect mainly for a background effect displayed on the effect display device S40, and is configured so that one of the stay stages is always set. If the stay stage is different, the tendency of various effects such as background effect, notice effect, etc. will be different.

Next, FIG. 43 is a subroutine showing a battle effect execution feasibility determination process that is called and executed in the process of step 3050 of FIG. 42. First, in step 3052, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the number of high-securing obstacle games is 4 or more. In the case of Yes in step 3052, in step 3054, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the condition device related to the game is a BB combination. In the case of Yes in step 3054, in step 3056, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S has a predetermined probability (1/2 in this example) of winning the battle effect execution possibility lottery (whether or not to execute the battle effect (win)). Lottery) is executed. Next, in step 3058, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the lottery for executing the battle effect executed in step 3056 has been won. In the case of Yes in step 3058, in step 3060, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines the effect related to the game as a battle effect (win), and proceeds to the next process (process of step 3006). On the other hand, if No in step 3058, in step 3062, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines the effect related to the game to be an effect other than the battle effect, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 3006). Here, the battle effect is a continuous effect executed over a plurality of games, and the battle effect is won, that is, the battle effect (winning) is executed, and the BB role is won and the AT lottery is performed. It is structured so that the winning is definite. The configuration related to the battle production is not limited to this, and even if the AT lottery is not won, if the BB role is won (after the end of the BB, the state shifts to the "low probability state" or the "high probability state". ) May be configured to perform a battle effect (victory).

If No in step 3054, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the condition device related to the game is a rare combination. Here, in this example, the rare roles are prize-C (cherry), prize-D (watermelon A), and prize-E (watermelon B), and the roles that can be won in duplicate with the BB role. It has become. That is, in the case of Yes in step 3064, where the player has the expectation that the rare role is stopped and displayed at the same time as the BB role, in step 3066, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S is , A lottery for whether or not to execute the Gase battle production (lottery for whether or not to execute the battle production (defeat)) to win with a predetermined probability (in this example, it is 1/3, which is lower than the predetermined probability in step 3056) ) Is executed. Next, in step 3068, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the lottery for executing the Gase Battle effect executed in step 3066 has been won. In the case of Yes in step 3068, in step 3070, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines the effect related to the game as a battle effect (defeat), and shifts to the next process (process of step 3006). If No in step 3052, step 3064, or step 3068, in step 3072, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines the effect related to the game to be an effect other than the battle effect, and the next process (process of step 3006). ). Here, the battle effect (defeat) may be configured to be executed even in the "normal section".

In this way, when the number of high-securing obstacle games is a predetermined number or more, for example, 4 or more, continuous production such as a battle production can be executed over a plurality of games, while the number of high-securing obstacle games is predetermined. If it is less than the number, for example, if it is less than 4, it is configured not to execute a continuous effect such as a battle effect, so that the "low probability state" is entered even though the continuous effect is being executed. The battle effect can be prevented only when the advantageous section indicator YH can be prevented from turning off due to the transition of ("normal section" is set) and the advantageous section indicator YH can be lit until the battle effect is completed. By executing this, the game machine can be made user-friendly without impairing the player's expectation for winning the BB.

In addition, when the role of rare is won, it is configured so that continuous production such as battle production (defeat) can be executed, so the execution frequency of battle production can be guaranteed and the game always proceeds with a sense of expectation. Can be done.

Next, FIG. 44 is an example of a stay stage determination table. The stay stage determination table shown in FIG. 44 is an excerpt of only a part. The stay stage determination table shown in FIG. 44 is used when the game is in the "low probability state" and when the game is in the "high probability state" and the number of high-securing obstacle games is 4 or more. It consists of three types: a table and a table used when the game is in a "high probability state" and the number of high-securing obstacle games is 3 or less.

In the stay stage determination table used when the game is in the "low probability state", the relationship between the current stay stage, the state related to the AT of the next game, the stay stage of the skeleton game, and the corresponding number is It is stipulated. In the case of "low probability state", the current stay stage consists of two types of production stages, the desert stage and the city stage, and the transition stages are the desert stage, the city stage, the conference room stage, and the cave stage. It consists of four types of production stages. There are three states related to the AT of the next game: a "low probability state", a "normal BB internal medium game", and a "high probability state".

When the current stay stage is the desert stage and the next game shifts to the "low probability state" or "normal BB internal medium game", 0 to 979 is assigned as the number of units when the desert stage is maintained in the game. ing. In addition, when the current stay stage is the desert stage and the next game shifts to the "low probability state" or "normal BB internal medium game", the number of placements when shifting from the desert stage to the city stage in the game is 980 to 999 is assigned.

Furthermore, if the current stay stage is the city stage and the next game shifts to the "low probability state" or "normal BB internal medium game", the number of units when shifting from the city stage to the desert stage in the game is 0 to 0. 19 is assigned. When the current stay stage is the city stage and the next game shifts to the "low probability state" or "normal BB internal medium game", 20 to 999 is assigned as the number of units when the city stage is maintained in the game. ing.

Further, when the current stay stage is the desert stage and the game shifts to the "high probability state" in the next game, 0 to 249 is assigned as the number of units when the desert stage is maintained in the game. When the current stay stage is the desert stage and the game shifts to the "high probability state" in the next game, 250 to 499 is assigned as the number of positions when shifting from the desert stage to the city stage in the game. When the current stay stage is the desert stage and the next game shifts to the "high probability state", 500 to 749 are assigned as the number of positions when shifting from the desert stage to the conference room stage in the game. When the current stay stage is the desert stage and the game shifts to the "high probability state" in the next game, 750 to 999 is assigned as the number of positions when shifting from the desert stage to the cave stage in the game.

When the current stay stage is the city stage and the game shifts to the "high probability state" in the next game, 0 to 249 is assigned as the number of positions when shifting from the city stage to the desert stage in the game. When the current stay stage is the city stage and the next game shifts to the "high probability state", 250 to 499 are assigned as the number of units when the city stage is maintained in the game. When the current stay stage is the city stage and the next game shifts to the "high probability state", 500 to 749 are assigned as the number of positions when shifting from the city stage to the conference room stage in the game. When the current stay stage is the city stage and the next game shifts to the "high probability state", 750 to 999 is assigned as the number of positions when shifting from the city stage to the cave stage in the game.

In the stay stage determination table used when the game is in the "high probability state" and the number of highly secured obstacle games is 4 or more, the relationship between the current stay stage, the stay stage of the skeleton game, and the number of placements is defined. Has been done. The current stay stage and the transition stage consist of four types of production stages: the desert stage, the city stage, the conference room stage, and the cave stage.

If the current stay stage is the desert stage and the desert stage is maintained in the game, 0 to 879 is assigned as the number. The current stay stage is the desert stage, and 880 to 929 are assigned as the number of units when transitioning from the desert stage to the city stage in the game. The current stay stage is the desert stage, and 930 to 959 is assigned as the number of units when transitioning from the desert stage to the conference room stage in the game. The current stay stage is the desert stage, and 960 to 999 is assigned as the number of units when transitioning from the desert stage to the cave stage in the game.

The current stay stage is the city stage, and 0 to 879 is assigned as the number of positions when shifting from the city stage to the desert stage in the game. When the current stay stage is the city stage and the city stage is maintained in the game, 880 to 929 are assigned as the number of units. If the current stay stage is the city stage and the game shifts from the city stage to the conference room stage, 930 to 959 are assigned as the number of units. The current stay stage is the city stage, and 960 to 999 is assigned as the number of positions when shifting from the city stage to the cave stage in the game.

The current stay stage is the conference room stage, and 0 to 49 is assigned as the number of units when transitioning from the conference room stage to the desert stage in the game. The current stay stage is the conference room stage, and 50 to 99 are assigned as the number of units when the game shifts from the conference room stage to the city stage. When the current stay stage is the conference room stage and the conference room stage is maintained in the game, 100 to 949 are assigned as the number of units. The current stay stage is the conference room stage, and 950 to 999 is assigned as the number of units when transitioning from the conference room stage to the cave stage in the game.

The current stay stage is the cave stage, and 0 to 49 is assigned as the number of units when transitioning from the cave stage to the desert stage in the game. The current stay stage is a cave stage, and 50 to 99 are assigned as the number of units when transitioning from the cave stage to the city stage in the game. The current stay stage is a cave stage, and 100 to 199 are assigned as the number of units when transitioning from the cave stage to the conference room stage in the game. If the current stay stage is a cave stage and the cave stage is maintained in the game, 200 to 999 are assigned as the number of units.

In the stay stage determination table used when the game is in the "high probability state" and the number of high secured obstacle games is 3 or less, the current stay stage, the state related to the AT of the next game, and the stay stage of the skeleton game are displayed. , The relationship with the number is specified. The current stay stage and the transition stage consist of four types of production stages: the desert stage, the city stage, the conference room stage, and the cave stage. There are three states related to the AT of the next game: "high probability state", "advantageous BB internal medium game", and "low probability state".

When the current stay stage is the desert stage and the next game shifts to the "high probability state" or the "advantageous BB internal medium game", 0 to 979 is assigned as the number of units when the desert stage is maintained in the game. ing. If the current stay stage is the desert stage and you want to move to the "high probability state" or "advantageous BB internal medium game" in the next game, 980-999 is the number of places to move from the desert stage to the city stage in the game. Assigned.

When the current stay stage is the city stage and the next game shifts to the "high probability state" or "advantageous BB internal medium game", 0 to 19 is the number of places to shift from the city stage to the desert stage in the game. Assigned. When the current stay stage is the city stage and the next game shifts to the "high probability state" or the "advantageous BB internal medium game", 20 to 999 is assigned as the number of units when the city stage is maintained in the game. ing.

When the current stay stage is the conference room stage and the next game shifts to the "high probability state" or "advantageous BB internal medium game", the number of placements when shifting from the conference room stage to the desert stage in the game is 0 to 0 29 is assigned. When the current stay stage is the conference room stage and the next game shifts to the "high probability state" or the "advantageous BB internal medium game", the number of placements when shifting from the conference room stage to the city stage in the game is 30 to 59 is assigned. When the current stay stage is the conference room stage and the next game shifts to the "high probability state" or the "advantageous BB internal medium game", the number of units when the conference room stage is maintained in the game is 60 to 999. Assigned.

If the current stay stage is a cave stage and you want to move to a "high probability state" or "advantageous BB internal medium game" in the next game, 0 to 29 is the number of places to move from the cave stage to the desert stage in that game. Assigned. If the current stay stage is a cave stage and you want to move to a "high probability state" or "advantageous BB internal medium game" in the next game, the number of places to move from the cave stage to the city stage in the game is 30 to 59. Assigned. When the current stay stage is a cave stage and the next game shifts to "high probability state" or "advantageous BB internal medium game", the number of placements when shifting from the cave stage to the conference room stage in the game is 60 to 99. Is assigned. When the current stay stage is a cave stage and the next game shifts to "high probability state" or "advantageous BB internal medium game", 100 to 999 is assigned as the number of units when the cave stage is maintained in the game. ing.

When the current stay stage is the desert stage and the game shifts to the "low probability state" in the next game, 0 to 499 is assigned as the number when the desert stage is maintained in the game. When the current stay stage is the desert stage and the next game shifts to the "low probability state", 500 to 999 is assigned as the number of positions when shifting from the desert stage to the city stage in the game.

When the current stay stage is the city stage and the game shifts to the "low probability state" in the next game, 0 to 499 is assigned as the number of positions when shifting from the city stage to the desert stage in the game. When the current stay stage is the city stage and the next game shifts to the "low probability state", 500 to 999 is assigned as the number of units when the city stage is maintained in the game.

When the current stay stage is the conference room stage and the next game shifts to the "low probability state", 0 to 499 is assigned as the number of units when shifting from the conference room stage to the desert stage in the game. When the current stay stage is the conference room stage and the next game shifts to the "low probability state", 500 to 999 is assigned as the number of units when shifting from the conference room stage to the city stage in the game.

When the current stay stage is a cave stage and the game shifts to the "low probability state" in the next game, 0 to 499 is assigned as the number of positions when shifting from the cave stage to the desert stage in the game. When the current stay stage is a cave stage and the next game shifts to a low probability state, 500 to 999 are assigned as the number of positions when shifting from the cave stage to the city stage in the game.

Thus, in the "low probability state", two stages, a desert stage or a city stage, can be selected (step 3012 in FIG. 42). On the other hand, in the "high probability state", four stages, a desert stage, a city stage, a conference room stage, and a cave stage, can be selected (step 3008 in FIG. 42). In other words, in the case of the "advantageous section", four stay stages can be selected, while in the "normal section", two stay stages can be selected, and can be selected in the "normal section". The stay stage of 2 can also be selected in the "advantageous section". With this configuration, even in the "normal section" where you cannot expect to win the AT lottery, by selecting the stay stage that can be the stay stage in the "advantageous section", you will not get bored even in the "normal section". You can advance the game machine. In addition, when shifting from the "high probability state" to the "low probability state", that is, when the "advantageous section" changes to the "normal section", the "normal section" is selected at the "advantageous section" stage. By selecting the production stage, it is difficult for the player to determine the transition from the "advantageous section" to the "normal section", and the game can be continued while maintaining a sense of expectation.

A part of the production stage selected in the "normal section" overlaps with the production stage selected in the "advantageous section" (a production stage that can be selected in the "normal section" but is not selected in the "advantageous section". You may have).

In addition, the stay stage determination table used when the number of high-secured obstacle games is 4 or more and the stay stage determination table used when the number of high-secured obstacle games is 3 or less are different, and the number of high-secured obstacle games is increased. When the number of games decreases (3 games or less), do not shift to a stay stage with high expectations, which is a "advantageous section" than the current stay stage (for example, desert stage → conference room stage). By configuring it, it is possible to prevent the player from being discouraged because the "normal section" is reached with a small number of games even though the stage has shifted to a stay stage with higher expectations. The stay stages are in the order of "desert stage, town stage, cave stage, conference room stage" from those with low expectations (difficult to select in "advantageous section"), which are "advantageous sections".

The composition of the stay stage is not limited to that of this example, and what can be suggested by the stay stage is selected as the "advantageous section", the expectation, and the expectation of winning the AT lottery, and the BB. It may be configured to suggest a certain degree of expectation. As an example, the stay stage can be changed in the game in which the BB role or the rare role is won (when the AT lottery is won by the BB role and when the AT lottery is not executed by winning the single rare role. (Including and), the expectations of winning the AT lottery will differ depending on the stage of stay that has been transferred, and the expectations will be lower in the order of "desert stage, city stage, cave stage, conference room stage". It is also possible to configure so that the expectation of winning the BB role differs depending on the transitioned stay stage, and configure in the order of "desert stage, city stage, cave stage, conference room stage" in ascending order of expectation. Good (for example, when moving to the conference room stage, it is definite that the BB internal winning or the AT lottery has been won, etc.).

Next, FIG. 45 is a subroutine showing an effect determination process during AT that is called and executed in the process of step 3100 of FIG. 42. First, in step 3102, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the number of AT remaining games is 3 games or less. In the case of Yes in step 3102, in step 3104, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not it is the AT final game. In the case of Yes in step 3104, in step 3106, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the continuous lottery has been won. In the case of Yes in step 3106, in step 3108, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S continuously incites the effect related to the game (success) (AT continues to set the initial value in the AT counter M60, in other words. Then, it is definite that the AT continues to set the initial value to the AT counter M60 (the effect of notifying that the state related to the AT of the next game becomes the "AT in progress state") or the AT continuation fanning effect (failure). Instead, the state related to the AT of the next game is determined to be "AT in progress state" or "recoverable / non-recoverable effect effect state"), and the process proceeds to step 3126. Here, when the continuous lottery is won, the AT continuous fanning effect (success) and the AT continuous fanning effect (failure) are determined at a ratio of 4: 1. That is, in the present embodiment, even if the continuous lottery is won, the AT continuous fanning effect (failure) may be executed, and in such a case, it corresponds to the first game of the next set. In the next game, the revival effect (success) will be executed, and the player feels as if he / she has won the revival lottery (actually, he / she has won the continuous lottery, and the main control board M. The control on the side is the same as when the AT continuous fanning effect (success) is executed). With this configuration, it is rare to win the revival lottery in the "state for revival possibility production", but {win the lottery of 2320/65536 (in the case of setting 1) in one game}, but win the continuous production. By configuring the game so that the resurrection effect (success) can be executed even if the resurrection effect is executed, the rate at which the resurrection effect (success) is executed can be increased, and the player expects the resurrection effect. You can enhance the feeling.

Further, in the case of No in step 3106, in step 3110, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines the effect related to the game as the AT continuous fanning effect (failure), and proceeds to step 3126. If No in step 3104, in step 3112, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines the effect related to the game to be the AT final stage effect, and proceeds to step 3126. Further, if No in step 3102, in step 3114, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not it is the next game in which the AT continuous fanning effect (failure) is executed. In the case of Yes in step 3114, in step 3116, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S revives the effect related to the game (success) (similar to the resurrection effect (success) executed in the "state for effect of resurrection"). In this process, it is determined that the “AT in progress” state has continued), and the process proceeds to step 3126. On the other hand, even if No in step 3114, the process proceeds to step 3126.

Next, in step 3126, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the number of AT games has been added in the game. In the case of Yes in step 3126, in step 3028, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S adds an effect related to the game (an effect of notifying that the number of remaining AT games has been added, for example, "+50 GET" or the like. ), And the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 2300). On the other hand, if No in step 3126, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines the effect related to the game to be an effect during AT (an effect executed during AT such as "AT in progress"), and the next process ( The process proceeds to step 2300).

Next, FIG. 46 is a subroutine showing a resurrection possibility effect determination process that is called and executed in the process of step 3150 of FIG. 42. First, in step 3152, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the revival lottery has been won. In the case of Yes in step 3152, in step 3154, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S revives the effect related to the game (success) (the effect is the same as the effect executed in step 3116 described above. It is a production that notifies that the revival lottery has been won in the "state for revival possibility production", and in the next game, it shifts to the "AT in progress state" and the initial value is set in the AT counter M60). The determination is made, and the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 2300). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 3152, in step 3156, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S did not win the revival lottery in the revival effect (failure) of the effect related to the game. It is an effect of notifying the fact, and it is decided to shift to the "low probability state" in the next game), and the next process (process of step 2300) is started.

As mentioned above, the "recoverable / non-revivalable state" is also an advantageous section, that is, the continuous lottery is won in the AT final game (the final game in the "AT in progress") which is the "advantageous section". Even if it does not exist, the player confirms whether or not the advantageous section indicator YH is lit because it is configured to extend the "advantageous section" even in the next game "recoverable or not production state". It becomes difficult to determine whether or not the revival production is successful just by doing so, and the result of the revival production will be paid attention to. Further, as described above, the execution mode of the lottery regarding AT is different between the "AT in-progress state" and the "revival possibility / non-recovery effect state". That is, the execution mode of the lottery related to AT is different between the next game that wins the continuous lottery in which the resurrection effect (success) is executed and the game that wins the resurrection lottery in which the resurrection effect (success) is executed. ..

In addition, in this embodiment, in the next game in which the AT state is completed, the game shifts to the "resurrection possibility production state" of one game, and the revival lottery is executed in the "revival possibility production state". By doing so, both the execution game of the resurrection effect (success) and the execution game of the resurrection effect (failure) are set as "advantageous sections", that is, by configuring the advantageous section indicator YH to be turned on, the effect of the effect is produced. Although it was prevented that it could be determined whether or not the AT was terminated without checking the result, such a configuration may be configured as follows.
(1) The state related to AT is set to "AT in progress" even in one game in which the resurrection lottery is executed, the resurrection flag is turned on in one game in which the resurrection lottery is executed, and the resurrection in the game before the game in which the resurrection lottery is executed. By turning off the flag, a different lottery mode for AT is obtained.
(2) It is configured not to execute the revival lottery, and the control on the main control board M side is configured to determine whether or not the "AT in progress state" ends depending on whether or not the continuous lottery is won. The execution timing of the continuous lottery is set to a game before the AT final game (one game before the AT final game, the first game of the running set, etc.). With such a configuration, a resurrection effect (success) and a resurrection effect (failure) can be executed as effects on the sub-control board S side in the AT final game. As an example of the production, "Pre-game of AT final game: AT continuation fanning (success)-> AT final game: Directing that the next set of AT will start", "Pre-game of AT final game: AT continuation fanning" Directing (continue to the next game) → AT final game: AT continuous fanning production (success) "," Game before AT final game: AT continuous fanning production (failure) → AT final game: resurrection production (success) "," AT The game before the final game: AT continuation fanning effect (failure) → AT final game: resurrection effect (failure), etc. may be executed. That is, the main control board M side determines whether or not the "AT in progress state" continues (the next set is executed) depending on whether or not the continuous lottery is won, and the effect on the sub control board S side is It may be configured to execute the AT continuous fanning effect or the revival effect.
(3) In a game in which a revival effect (success) is executed, the effect is executed in the same manner as the revival effect (failure) until a predetermined timing, and the revival effect (success) is performed from the predetermined timing. That is, it may be configured to notify the player that the AT will continue at the predetermined timing. In the case of such a configuration, the predetermined timing is
(1) This is the bet button operation timing (game medal insertion timing) related to the game in which the revival effect (success) is executed, and can be executed when the continuous lottery is won.
(2) It is the start lever operation timing related to the game in which the resurrection effect (success) is executed, and when the start lever operation timing is reached, the effect having the same effect mode as the resurrection effect (defeat) is not executed.
(3) Timing when the stop button, which is the first stop related to the game in which the revival effect (success) is executed, is pressed (timing when the first stop is turned on),
(4) Timing when the stop button, which is the first stop for the game in which the revival effect (success) is executed, is pressed and then the stop button is released (timing when the first stop is turned on → off),
(5) Timing of pressing the stop button that is the second stop related to the game in which the revival effect (success) is executed (timing when the second stop is turned on),
(6) Timing when the stop button is pressed and then the stop button is released (the timing when the second stop is turned on → off), which is the second stop related to the game in which the revival effect (success) is executed.
(7) Timing of pressing the stop button that is the third stop related to the game in which the resurrection effect (success) is executed (timing when the third stop is turned on),
(8) Timing when the stop button is released after pressing the stop button which is the third stop related to the game in which the revival effect (success) is executed (timing when the third stop is turned on → off),
Etc.
(9) Bet button operation timing (game medal insertion timing) related to the next game of the game in which the revival effect (success) is executed,
(10) Start lever operation timing related to the next game of the game in which the revival effect (success) is executed,
And so on. In addition, when it is configured to determine which of the various timings (1) to (10) to be set by lottery, after the timing when the stop button, which is the first stop, is pressed, , Even if neither the continuous lottery nor the resurrection lottery is won, the advantageous section indicator YH is continuously lit, so that the player presses the stop button which is the third stop and then the stop button. It is possible to play the game with a sense of expectation that the AT will continue until the timing when the AT is released or the start lever operation timing related to the next game in which the revival effect is executed.

<Processing when operating the start lever>
Next, FIG. 47 is a subroutine showing a process during start lever operation that is called and executed in the process of step 2300 of FIG.

Next, in step 2302, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the state related to AT is in the AT state. In the case of Yes in step 2302, in other words, when the state related to AT is the AT-in-AT state, in step 2350, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S reads and executes the AT-in-AT process at the time of starting lever operation, which will be described later. , Move to the next process (process of step 2110).

Next, if No in step 2302, in other words, if the state related to AT is not in the AT state, in step 2304, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the state related to AT is a special precursor state. Is determined. In the case of Yes in step 2304, in other words, when the state related to AT is the special precursor state, in step 2400, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S reads the special precursor process at the time of start lever operation, which will be described later. It is executed and moved to the next process (process of step 2110).

Next, in the case of No in step 2304, in other words, when the state related to AT is not the "specialization precursor state", in step 2306, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S has the state related to AT "additional specialization state". It is determined whether or not it is. In the case of Yes in step 2306, in other words, when the state related to AT is the "additional specialization state", in step 2450, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S performs the addition specialization processing when the start lever is operated, which will be described later. It is read and executed, and the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 2110).

Next, in the case of No in step 2306, in other words, when the state related to AT is not the "additional specialized state", in step 2307, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S changes the state related to AT to "advantageous BB inside". It is determined whether or not it is a "game". In the case of Yes in step 2307, in other words, when the state related to AT is "advantageous BB internal intermediate game", in step 2700, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S is a subroutine of advantageous BB internal intermediate processing when the start lever is operated. Is called and executed, and the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 2110).

If No in step 2307, in other words, if the state related to AT is not "advantageous BB internal medium game", in step 2308, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S is whether or not the RT state is "RT1". To judge. In the case of Yes in step 2308, in other words, when the RT state is "RT1", in step 2310, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S has no push order navigation in the state related to AT (push order navigation is It is a state related to AT that does not occur, and it is determined whether or not it is a "low probability state", "normal BB internal game", "normal BB state", etc.). In the case of Yes in step 2310, in other words, when the state related to AT is no push order navigation, in step 2312, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the avoidance command has been received. As described above, the sub-control board S side receives the reverse push instruction command, the reverse push avoidance command, the forward push instruction command, and the forward push avoidance command, so that the effect related to the push order navigation cannot be executed. When the AT addition lottery is won, the main control board M side sends a command related to the AT addition lottery and the number of AT addition games to the sub control board S side, and the sub control board S side receives the command. In addition, the sub-control board S side may be configured to determine the execution timing and the effect mode of the effect related to the push order navigation.

In the case of Yes in step 2312, in other words, when the avoidance command is received, in step 2314, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S displays an image for avoiding establishment as a push order navigation display in the first numerical display mode group. Is displayed on the effect display device S40, and the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 2110). As described above, in the present embodiment, the number of games has elapsed from the situation of "RT1" and "AT in progress", and the AT counter value becomes 0, so that the situation shifts to "RT1" and "low probability state". In that case (before the replay 04 is stopped and displayed), if the reverse push white 7 match replay or the forward push black 7 match replay is won, the number of AT games will not be added, so white seven or black seven will be selected. It is configured to navigate the push order that is not in a straight line. In addition, when the number of games elapses from the situation of "RT1" and "AT in progress" and the AT counter value becomes 0, and the situation shifts to "RT1" and "low probability state", it is still an "advantageous section". In the game in which the push order bell is won, the push order navigation can be generated, but in the game in which the push order replay is won, the push order navigation may not occur.

When the CPUSC of the sub-control board S is No in step 2308, No in step 2310, and No in step 2312, the CPUSC displays the effect image and the background image in step 2316 based on the state related to AT, and then displays the effect image and the background image. (Processing in step 2110).

<Processing during AT when operating the start lever>
Next, FIG. 48 is a subroutine showing the process during AT at the time of start lever operation, which is called and executed in the process of step 2350 of FIG.

Next, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S reads the information about the condition device related to the game in step 2352, confirms the winning / replay winning information related to the game in step 2354, and the instruction number in step 2356. Check the command related to. In this way, in the state related to AT where the push order navigation such as "AT in progress" can be executed, the main control board M transmits a command related to winning / replay winning information to the sub control board S side, and "low". When sending the production group number in a state related to AT where push order navigation such as "probability state" is not executed (also applicable when the game section is "normal section"), it is not necessary to send the command related to the instruction number. good. Furthermore, the main control board M transmits the effect group number to the effect group number and the instruction number as in the state related to the AT in which the push order navigation is not executed even if the state is related to the AT in which the push order navigation can be executed. Based on the command, the push order bell (or push order replay) may be won, and the correct push order may be grasped. For example, the push order navigation display when the push order bell is executed and the push order navigation display of the push order replay game are displayed in the same display mode group (for example, the push order is notified by a number and the display color related to the number is the same. ) Can be applied when it is configured to be displayed. Further, in such a configuration, the effect display device S40 is configured to display an effect image (for example, a character image) different from the push order navigation display when the push order navigation is executed, and the push order bell is used. It may be configured to display different production images when the push order navigation is executed and when the push order navigation is executed related to the push order replay game.

Next, in step 2358, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the condition device of the game is a push order bell. Here, the push order bell is one of the above-mentioned winning-A1 to winning-A6.

In the case of Yes in step 2358, in other words, when the condition device of the game is a push order bell, in step 2360, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S has 6 selections of the push order bell as the push order navigation display. An image suggesting the correct pressing order of the pressing order of is displayed on the effect display device S40 in the first numerical display mode group. The push order is information in which each of the first stop button, the second stop button, and the third stop button is associated with the left stop button D41, the middle stop button D42, and the right stop button D43. For example, if you win the prize-A1 which is the push order bell, the number suggesting the push order corresponding to the push order "left → middle → right" that can obtain the maximum number of payouts is circled. Display in the display mode.

Next, in the case of No in step 2358, in other words, when the condition device of the game is not a push order bell, in step 2362, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines that the condition device of the game is a push order replay. It is determined whether or not it is. Here, the push order re-game is one of the re-game-D1 to D3.

In the case of Yes in step 2362, in other words, when the condition device of the game is the push order replay, in step 2364, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S displays the push order navigation as the push order replay. An image suggesting the correct pressing order among the three selection pressing orders is displayed on the effect display device S40. Here, since the push order has three choices, it is information that corresponds the first stop button to any one of the left stop button D41, the middle stop button D42, and the right stop button D43. For example, when the first stop button is the left stop button D41, only the number 1 is displayed as the push-order navigation display.

In the case of No in step 2362, in other words, when the condition device of the game is the push order replay, in step 2366, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the avoidance command has been received. .. Here, the forward push avoidance command and the reverse push avoidance command are collectively referred to as an avoidance command. In the case of Yes in step 2366, in other words, when an avoidance command is received, in step 2368, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S displays an image for avoiding establishment as a push order navigation display in the first numerical display mode. The group is displayed on the effect display device S40.

Next, if No in step 2366, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes the above-described processing of step 2360, 2364 or 2368, and then displays the background image during AT on the effect display device S40 in step 2370.

Next, in step 2372, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the number of AT remaining games is 3 games or less. In the case of Yes in step 2372, in other words, when the number of AT remaining games is 3 games or less, in step S2374, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S displays the number of AT remaining games in display mode B (display mode described later). It is displayed on the effect display device S40 in a display mode that is less conspicuous than A).

Next, in step 2376, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the forward push instruction command has been received. In the case of Yes in step 2376, in other words, when the forward push instruction command is received, in step 2378, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S displays an image for avoiding establishment as a push order navigation display. It is displayed on the effect display device S40 in the numerical display mode group.

If No in step 2376, or if the process in step 2378 is executed, in step 2380, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the reverse push instruction command has been received. In the case of Yes in step 2380, in other words, when the reverse push instruction command is received, in step 2382, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S displays an image for avoiding establishment as a push order navigation display. It is displayed on the effect display device S40 in the numerical display mode group.

The CPUSC of the sub-control board S shifts to the next process (process of step 2110) in the case of No in step 2380 or when the process of step 2382 is executed.

In the case of No in step 2372, in other words, when the number of AT remaining games is 4 or more, in step S2384, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S displays the number of AT remaining games in display mode A (the above-mentioned display mode). It is displayed on the effect display device S40 in a display mode that is more conspicuous than B). Here, if there are four or more games, the display mode A is displayed, and if there are three games or less, the display mode B is displayed.

Next, in step 2386, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the forward push instruction command has been received. In the case of Yes in step 2386, in other words, when the forward push instruction command is received, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S corresponds to "left → middle → right" as the push order navigation display in step 2388. An image suggesting the order of pressing is displayed on the effect display device S40 as an image of an arrow.

If No in step 2386, or if the process in step 2388 is executed, in step 2390, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the reverse push instruction command has been received. In the case of Yes in step 2390, in other words, when the reverse push instruction command is received, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S corresponds to "right-> middle-> left" as the push order navigation display in step 2392. An image suggesting the order of pressing is displayed on the effect display device S40 as an image of an arrow.

The CPUSC of the sub-control board S shifts to the next process (process of step 2110) in the case of No in step 2390 or when the process of step 2392 is executed. In this way, when the number of remaining AT games is small, in other words, when the display of the number of remaining AT games is displayed in the display mode B, which is a more conspicuous display mode than the display mode A, the forward push instruction command or the reverse Even if the push instruction command is received, the effect of displaying "Aim for 7!" Is not executed along with the image of the arrow, and the white seven and black seven do not stop and display on the invalid line. The middle reel in the push order is the first stop reel. It is configured to execute the push order navigation. With this configuration, in a situation where the number of AT remaining games is small, the number of AT remaining games is displayed in the display mode B, which is a display mode that encourages the player to have a small number of AT remaining games. Can be configured so as not to interfere with the visibility of the display of the number of remaining AT games in the display mode B by displaying an arrow image or "Aim for 7!". Similarly, in a situation where the number of remaining AT games displayed on the effect display device S40 is small, a continuous effect (for example, a state related to AT in which push order navigation can be executed) is encouraged to continue. , Battle effect) is also configured so that the arrow image and "Aim for 7!" Are not displayed during the execution of the battle effect so as not to interfere with the visibility of the battle effect. be able to. Further, with this configuration, even when the number of remaining AT games in the effect display device S40 becomes 0 and it is displayed that the battle effect is defeated and the "AT in progress state" ends, the battle effect is in progress. If a forward push instruction command or a reverse push instruction command has been received, the forward push instruction command or the reverse push instruction command or the reverse push instruction command or the reverse push instruction command or the reverse push instruction command is performed at the operation timing of the bet button D220 after the message that the "AT in progress state" is terminated is displayed. Notify the number of AT additional games based on the instruction command (based on winning the forward push black 7 replay or reverse push white 7 replay), that is, notify that the number of AT games has been added to the game that won the AT additional lottery. Instead, it can be configured to notify that the number of AT games has been added at a subsequent timing, which enhances the fun of the game.

The push order is information in which each of the first stop button, the second stop button, and the third stop button is associated with the left stop button D41, the middle stop button D42, and the right stop button D43. For example, if you win the prize-A4 push order bell, the number suggesting the push order corresponding to the push order "right → left → middle" that can obtain the maximum number of payouts is surrounded by a star. It is displayed in the display mode. The first number display mode group and the second number display mode group described above may display numerical values suggesting the push order in different display mode groups. For example, the first number display mode group is a number. Can be displayed in blue, and the second number display mode group can display numbers in red and the like.

Next, in the case of No in step 2710 described above, in other words, when the condition device of the game is neither the push order bell nor the common bell, in step 2714, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S is the condition of the game. The device determines whether or not it is a push order replay. Here, the push order re-game is one of the re-game-D1 to D3.

In the case of Yes in step 2714, in other words, when the condition device of the game is a push order replay, in step 2716, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S displays the push order navigation as a push order replay. An image suggesting the correct pressing order among the three selection pressing orders is displayed on the effect display device S40 in the first numerical display mode group. Here, since the push order has three choices, the information corresponds to the first stop button corresponding to any one of the left stop button D41, the middle stop button D42, and the right stop button D43. For example, when the first stop button is the left stop button D41 as the correct pressing order, the number "1" is displayed on the lower left side from the center of the effect display device S40, and the first stop button is the middle stop button D42. In the case of, the number "1" is displayed on the lower center side of the effect display device S40, and when the first stop button is the right stop button D43, it is on the lower right side of the center of the effect display device S40. The number "1" is displayed as a push order navigation display. In other words, the push order information is displayed at a position close to the stop switch corresponding to the reel to be stopped.

Next, in the case of No in step 2714 described above, in other words, when the condition device of the game is not a push order replay, in step 2718, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S received the command related to 7 replays. Judge whether or not. Here, the forward push instruction command, the reverse push instruction command, the forward push avoidance command, and the reverse push avoidance command are collectively referred to as a 7 replay command. In the case of Yes in step 2718, in other words, when a command related to 7 replays is received, in step 2720, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S displays an image for avoiding establishment as a push order navigation display as the first number. It is displayed on the effect display device S40 in the display mode group.

Next, when the CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes the processes of steps 2712, 2716, and 2720 described above, or when No in step 2718, the background image during AT is displayed on the effect display device S40 in step 2722. It is displayed, and in step S2724, the number of AT remaining games is displayed on the effect display device S40 in the display mode A, and the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 2110).

In the case of No in step 2708, in other words, when a predetermined game (5 games) has elapsed after shifting to the advantageous BB internal medium game, in step 2726, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S is the effect display device S40. In, it is notified that the BB has been won (in this process, the push order navigation is not displayed), and the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 2110).

<Processing at the time of the first body stop reception>
Next, FIG. 52 is a subroutine showing the first processing at the time of receiving the body stop, which is called and executed in the processing of step 2500 in FIG.

Next, in step 2502, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the push order navigation is being displayed in the game. In the case of Yes in step 2502, in other words, when the push order navigation is being displayed, in step 2504, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S has an operation of the stop button based on the correct push order as the first stop. Judge whether or not.

Next, in the case of Yes in step 2504, in other words, if there is an operation of the stop button based on the correct pressing order as the first stop, in step 2506, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S is displayed in the pressing order navigation display. The display related to the first stop is erased, and the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 2110).

Next, in the case of No in step 2504, in other words, when there is no operation of the stop button based on the correct pressing order as the first stop, in step 2508, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S is forward-pressed navigation or reverse. It is determined whether or not the push order navigation related to the push navigation is being displayed. Here, 7 replays are a general term for forward-push black 7-match replays and reverse-push white 7-match replays. In step 2508, in the case of Yes, in step 2510, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S darkens the push order navigation (continues to be darkened in the game), and moves to the next process (process of step 2110). Migrate.

If No in step 2508, in other words, if the push order navigation related to 7 replays is not being displayed, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S erases all the push order navigation displays in step 2512, and the push order fails. The effect is executed, and the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 2110).

<Processing at the time of receiving the second body stop>
Next, FIG. 53 is a subroutine showing the second processing at the time of receiving the body stop, which is called and executed in the processing of step 2550 of FIG.

Next, in step 2552, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the push order navigation is being displayed in the game. In the case of Yes in step 2552, in other words, when the push order navigation is being displayed, in step 2554, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the condition device related to the game is the push order bell. judge. In the case of Yes in step 2554, in other words, when the condition device related to the game is a push order bell, in step 2556, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S is a stop button based on the correct push order as the second stop. Determine if there is an operation.

Next, in the case of Yes in step 2556, in other words, when there is an operation of the stop button based on the correct pressing order as the second stop, in step 2558, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S is the second stop in the pressing order navigation display. 2 The display related to the stop is deleted, and the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 2110).

Next, in the case of No in step 2556, in other words, when there is no operation of the stop button based on the correct pressing order as the second stop, in step 2560, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S displays all the pressing order navigation displays. It is erased, the push order failure effect is executed, and the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 2110).

Next, if No in step 2552, in other words, if the push order navigation is not displayed, or if No in step 2554, in other words, if the condition device related to the game is not a push order bell, immediately , Move to the next process (process of step 2110).

<3rd production-related decision processing when the body is stopped>
Next, FIG. 54 is a subroutine showing the third effect-related determination process at the time of body stop, which is called and executed in the process of step 3200 of FIG.

Next, in step 3202, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the BB combination has won a prize. In the case of Yes in step 3202, in other words, when the BB combination wins, in step 3204, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S wins during non-AT (“low probability state” or “high probability state”). It is determined whether or not it is a BB role. In the case of Yes in step 3204, in other words, in the case of the BB winning combination during non-AT, in step 3206, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S refers to the BB start effect determination table during non-AT, and AT of the game. Based on the state and the BB combination, the BB start effect (the effect executed when the BB combination is won) is determined and executed, and the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 2600).

Next, in the case of No in step 3204, in other words, in the BB role that was won during AT (“AT in progress”, “additional specialization state”, “specialization preparation state”, or “recoverable / non-recoverable production state”). If there is, in step 3208, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S refers to the BB start effect determination table during AT, determines and executes the BB start effect based on the state related to AT and the BB combination of the game, and next The process shifts to the process (process of step 2600).

Next, in the case of No in step 3202, in other words, when the BB combination does not win, in step 3210, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines and executes the effect based on the effect executed in the game. The process proceeds to the next process (process of step 2600).

The non-AT BB start effect determination table shown on the lower left of FIG. 54 is a table for determining the effect at the start time of the BB in the non-AT state. The non-AT BB start effect determination table is a table for defining the relationship between the type of BB combination, the state related to AT, the type of BB start effect, and the probability (distribution). There are two types of BB roles: BB with a setting difference (Type 1 BB-B) and BB without a setting difference (Type 1 BB-A and Type 1 BB-C). There are two types of states related to AT: "normal BB internal medium game" and "advantageous BB internal medium game". There are three types of BB start production: normal production, high-expectation production, and premier production. It should be noted that, depending on the type of BB start effect in the BB won during non-AT, the degree of expectation to shift to the "AT in progress state" after the end of BB is configured to differ, and the one with the lowest degree of expectation is configured to be "normal effect". → High expectation production → Premier production ”.

When the BB combination is BB (Type 1 BB-B) with a setting difference and the state related to the AT of the game is a normal BB internal game, the probability that the BB start effect will be a normal effect is 179/256. .. When the BB role is BB (Type 1 BB-B) with a setting difference and the state related to the AT of the game is "normal BB internal medium game", the probability that the BB start effect will be a high expectation effect is 77. / 256. When the BB role is BB (Type 1 BB-B) with a setting difference and the state related to AT of the game is "normal BB internal medium game", the probability that the BB start effect will be the premier effect is 0/256. Is.

When the BB role is BB (Type 1 BB-B) with a setting difference and the state related to the AT of the game is "advantageous BB internal medium game", the probability that the BB start effect will be a normal effect is 179/256. Is. When the BB role is BB (Type 1 BB-B) with a setting difference and the state related to the AT of the game is "advantageous BB internal medium game", the probability that the BB start effect will be a high expectation effect is 77. / 256. When the BB role is BB (Type 1 BB-B) with a setting difference and the state related to the AT of the game is "advantageous BB internal medium game", the probability that the BB start effect will be the premier effect is 0/256. Is.

When the BB role is BB (Type 1 BB-A and Type 1 BB-C) with no setting difference and the state related to AT of the game is "normal BB internal medium game", the BB start effect is the normal effect. The probability is 179/256. When the BB role is BB (Type 1 BB-A and Type 1 BB-C) with no setting difference and the state related to the AT of the game is "normal BB internal medium game", the BB start effect is a high expectation effect. The probability of becoming is 77/256. When the BB role is BB with no setting difference (Type 1 BB-A and Type 1 BB-C) and the state related to the AT of the game is "normal BB internal medium game", the BB start effect becomes the premier effect. The probability is 0/256.

When the BB role is BB (Type 1 BB-A and Type 1 BB-C) with no setting difference and the state related to AT of the game is "advantageous BB internal medium game", the BB start effect is the normal effect. The probability is 67/256. When the BB role is BB (Type 1 BB-A and Type 1 BB-C) with no setting difference and the state related to AT of the game is "advantageous BB internal medium game", the BB start effect is a high expectation effect. The probability of becoming 157/256 is. When the BB role is BB with no setting difference (Type 1 BB-A and Type 1 BB-C) and the state related to AT of the game is "advantageous BB internal medium game", the BB start effect becomes the premier effect. The probability is 32/256.

When it is a "normal section", even if you win the BB without setting difference (Type 1 BB-A and Type 1 BB-C) or the BB with setting difference (Type 1 BB-B), the premiere production Is not selected, and it is stipulated that the normal effect is more likely to be selected than the high-expectation effect.

Even in an advantageous section, if a BB (Type 1 BB-B) with a setting difference is won, the premier production is not selected, and there is a possibility that the normal production is selected rather than the high expectation production. It is set to be high.

If it is an "advantageous section" and the BB without setting difference (Type 1 BB-A and Type 1 BB-C) is won, the premier production may be selected. With this configuration, by selecting the premier production, it is confirmed that by winning the setting difference BB, it will shift to the "AT in progress state" after the setting difference BB ends. Can be shown to the player. In addition, when the BB (Type 1 BB-A and Type 1 BB-C) with no setting difference is won because it is an "advantageous section", there is a high possibility that a high expectation effect is selected rather than a normal effect. (It is less likely that a normal production will be selected). By doing so, the player can infer whether or not the AT will be started after the end of the BB by confirming the BB start effect, and can have a sense of expectation for winning the AT. In addition, the distribution of the BB start production related to the BB (Type 1 BB-B) with a setting difference that won in the "normal BB internal medium game" and the setting differenceless BB that won in the "normal BB internal medium game" The distribution is the same as the distribution of the BB start effect related to Type 1 BB-A and Type 1 BB-C). In addition, it is not limited to this, and the distribution of the BB start production related to the BB (Type 1 BB-B) with a setting difference that won in the "normal BB internal medium game" and the "normal BB internal medium game" The distribution of the BB start effect related to the winning BB without setting difference (Type 1 BB-A and Type 1 BB-C) may be different, and by configuring in that way, the BB start regarding the BB with setting difference It can be configured so that the distribution differs depending on whether it is an effect or a BB start effect related to a BB with no setting difference.

The BB start effect determination table during AT shown in the lower right of FIG. 54 is a table for determining the effect at the start time of BB during AT. The BB start effect determination table during AT is also a table for defining the relationship between the type of BB combination, the state related to AT, the type of BB start effect, and the probability (distribution). There are two types of BB roles: BB with a setting difference (Type 1 BB-B) and BB without a setting difference (Type 1 BB-A and Type 1 BB-C). The state related to AT is one type of "advantageous BB internal medium game". There are two types of BB start effects, one that can be added and the other that cannot be added. The additional effect is an effect that suggests that the AT additional lottery can be executed during the execution of the BB, and the non-addable effect is an effect that suggests that the AT additional lottery is not executed during the execution of the BB. For the BB won during AT, there is no element of whether or not to win the AT lottery, and whether or not the AT additional lottery is executed may differ depending on the type of BB. In addition, during AT, there is a setting difference in which the AT addition lottery is not executed. Even in the BB, the game medal can be obtained and the BB to be executed is in the AT which is advantageous to the player after the end of the BB. Is configured to clearly inform whether or not is executed. Specific examples will be described in detail below.

When the BB role is BB (Type 1 BB-B) with a setting difference and the state related to the AT of the game is "advantageous BB internal medium game", the probability that the BB start effect can be added is 0 /. It is 256, and the addable effect is not executed. When the BB role is BB (Type 1 BB-B) with a setting difference and the state related to AT of the game is "advantageous BB internal medium game", the probability that the BB start effect cannot be added is 256 /. It is 256, and the effect that cannot be added is always executed. When the BB role is BB (Type 1 BB-A and Type 1 BB-C) with no setting difference and the state related to AT of the game is "advantageous BB internal medium game", the BB start effect can be added. The probability of becoming is 256/256, and the effect that can be added is always executed. When the BB role is BB (Type 1 BB-A and Type 1 BB-C) with no setting difference and the state related to AT of the game is "advantageous BB internal medium game", the BB start effect cannot be added. The probability of becoming is 0/256, and the non-additional effect is not executed.

<Processing at the time of the 3rd body stop reception>
Next, FIG. 55 is a subroutine showing the third processing at the time of receiving the body stop, which is called and executed in the processing of step 2600 of FIG.

Next, in step 2602, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the push order navigation is being displayed in the game. In the case of Yes in step 2602, in other words, when the push order navigation is being displayed, in step 2604, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the condition device related to the game is the push order bell. judge. In the case of Yes in step 2604, in other words, when the condition device related to the game is a push order bell, in step 2606, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S is a stop button based on the correct push order as the third stop. Determine if there is an operation.

Next, in the case of Yes in step 2606, in other words, when there is an operation of the stop button based on the correct pressing order as the third stop, in step 2608, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S produces a successful pressing order effect. "GET!" Is displayed on the display device S40. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2606, in other words, when there is no operation of the stop button based on the correct pressing order as the third stop, in step 2610, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines the "GET" of the pressing order success effect. ! ”Is not displayed.

If No in step 2602 described above, in other words, if the push order navigation is not displayed, if No in step 2604, in other words, the condition device related to the game is not a push order bell, or step 2608 or 2610. When the above process is executed, in step 2612, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not a command related to the number of AT-added games (command set in step 1517) has been received from the main side. As described above, the main control board M transmits a command indicating the number of AT remaining games to the sub control board S, and the sub control board S calculates the difference from the previously received command indicating the number of AT remaining games. It is possible to determine whether or not the number of AT games has been added and the number of AT games added, and to display the number of AT games added.

Next, in the case of Yes in step 2612, in other words, when a command related to the number of AT games is received from the main side, in step 2614, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S is the AT addition game on the effect display device S40. The number is displayed and the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 2110). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 2612, in other words, when the command related to the number of AT games is not received from the main side, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S is added to the AT on the effect display device S40 in step 2616. The process proceeds to the next process (process of step 2110) without displaying the number of games. In addition, as a method of notifying the number of AT additional games, (1) all of the additional games are notified by the game, (2) a part of the additional games is notified by the game, and the remaining number of games is notified after the game. (3) The number of additional games is not notified in the game, and the games after the game (for example, when 7 replays are won, when the common bell is won (when the role that is not originally added), or a plurality of games are notified. After executing the game (continuous production), the operation of the bet button D220 and the operation of the start lever D50 of the game in which the number of remaining games of the effect display device S40 is "0" or the next game of the game in which the number of remaining games is "0". ) Can be notified.

In addition, when the common bell is won in the "addition specialization state", the number of AT addition games is not displayed even if the game is stopped according to the push order navigation (the AT addition lottery is performed in the common bell). Absent).

According to the rotating cylinder type gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the period that is advantageous for the player in the gaming machine configured so that the advantageous section indicator YH lights up in the "advantageous section". Can be appropriately notified. In addition, if the continuation effect is won by providing the "recovery possibility effect state" and then the revival effect (success) is executed, the state related to the AT of the game in which the revival effect (success) is executed is The advantageous section indicator YH is lit because it is in the "AT in progress state", while the revival effect (failure) is executed even when the revival effect (failure) is executed after the continuous effect is not won. By setting the state related to the AT of the game to be played as the "recoverable / non-recoverable effect state" and the state related to the AT as the "advantageous section", the advantageous section indicator YH is turned on. With this configuration, by visually recognizing the advantageous section indicator YH in the game that executes the revival effect, it is possible to configure it so that it is difficult to recognize whether the revival effect succeeds or fails. It is possible to secure a highly entertaining game machine in a game machine configured to be able to appropriately notify a period that is advantageous to the player.

In this example, if the BB combination is won in the "high probability state", the AT lottery can be won, and after the end of the BB, the game can be changed to the "AT in progress state". The configuration related to is not limited to that of this example, for example, if the AT lottery can be won by a rare role such as cherry (even if it is not the BB role) and the AT lottery is won. It may be configured to shift to the "AT precursor state" as the state related to AT, and to shift to the "AT in progress state" by playing a predetermined number of games (for example, 10 games) in the "AT precursor state".

Next, FIG. 56 is a flowchart of the menu screen display control process according to the subroutine of step 7100 of FIG. 41 in the present embodiment. First, in step 7102, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the menu screen is hidden on the effect display device S40. Here, the menu screen is a screen that can be displayed on the effect display device SG by pressing the sub input button SB or the like, and the player selects from a plurality of items to check various settings and information on the game machine. It is a screen that can be used. As an example of the method of selecting and determining an item, operate the cross key SB2 (which has four buttons of an up button, a down button, a left button, and a right button) to move the cursor to a desired item. By operating the sub-input button SB, the currently selected item (where the cursor is) is determined, and the screen corresponding to the item is displayed. In this example, it is assumed that both the screen for selecting an item and the screen corresponding to the item displayed after determining the selected item are menu screens. Further, the menu screen may have a plurality of display modes. For example, the items that can be selected on the menu screen may be different depending on the game state, or the design of the background image may be different. In other words, they may be different. Even if there are differences, they are all referred to as menu screens.

<Items that can be selected on the menu screen>
An example of items that can be selected on the menu screen is listed below.
(1) Volume adjustment: The volume output from the game machine may be adjusted so that the player can adjust it. For example, after displaying the screen corresponding to the volume adjustment, the right button of the cross key SB2 is operated to output. The volume may be increased, and the output volume may be decreased when the left button of the cross key SB2 is operated.
(2) Light intensity adjustment: The light intensity (luminance) of various lamps controlled by the sub-control board S such as the LED lamp S10 (stop button lamp S60, bet button lamp S50) may be adjusted by the player. For example, if the screen corresponding to the light amount adjustment is displayed and then the upper button of the cross key SB2 is operated, the light amount (brightness) becomes stronger (brighter), and if the lower button of the cross key SB2 is operated, the light amount (brightness) becomes weaker. It may be configured to be (dark).
(3) Character customization: Characters that appear during the game (hero character, push order navigation voice, battle character, character that supports the game progress that is always displayed on the production display device S40, etc.) can be selected and changed. It may be configured, and after displaying the screen corresponding to the character customization, it is determined by moving the cursor to the character to be selected with the cross key SB2 and operating the sub input button SB.
(4) Reel arrangement table: The reel arrangement may be configured to be displayable on the screen corresponding to the reel arrangement table.
(5) Dividend table: A payout table (a list of symbol combinations that constitute a replay or a winning combination by displaying a stop) may be displayed on the screen corresponding to the payout table. When the payout table is divided into a plurality of screens and displayed, for example, the screen of the payout table may be switched between the left button and the right button of the cross key SB2.

Returning to the explanation of the flowchart, in the case of Yes in step 7102, in step 7104, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the menu screen can be displayed. Here, the menu screen displayable state means that the menu screen is displayed when an operation that can display the menu screen (may be configured to be displayed over time) such as an operation of the sub input button SB is executed. As a specific example, the configuration may be as follows.
(1) Game end timing (timing when the third stop button is turned on → off, display judgment timing, payout completion timing based on winning, game end processing, a command related to the game end is set or transmitted to the sub-control board S side. The game does not proceed from the timing, the timing when the sub-control board S side receives the command related to the end of the game, etc. (no new bet operation, no new automatic bet operation based on the stop display of the re-game, new start) The menu screen may be displayed when a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) elapses while the lever is not operated, the reel does not start rotating newly, etc. (until then, the sub input button SB is operated. But the menu screen is not displayed). The betting operation includes both the case where the bet button D220 is operated and the case where the game medal is inserted into the medal insertion slot D170 and the bet is made (automatic betting based on the re-game stop display). May be included in the betting operation).
(2-1) It may be configured so that the menu screen cannot be displayed during the execution of the game (the game medal is bet, the weight period until the reel rotation starts, and the reel is rotating).
(2-2) The menu screen may be displayed in a state in which the menu screen can be displayed during the execution of the game (such as when a game medal is bet).
(3) During the execution of a predetermined effect (during the execution of the effect of notifying whether or not the bonus has been won, during the execution of the continuous effect executed over a plurality of games, the effect of notifying whether or not the lottery has been won by adding the number of AT games. , Etc.) may be configured so that the menu screen can be displayed.
(4) It may be configured so that the menu screen cannot be displayed while the re-game combination is stopped and displayed.
In order to make it easier for the player to recognize that the menu screen can be displayed, the sub input button SB (LED provided inside the sub input button SB) is displayed when the menu screen can be displayed. It may be configured to blink.

Returning to the explanation of the flowchart, in the case of Yes in step 7104, in step 7106, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the sub-input button SB has been operated. In this example, the operation of displaying the menu screen is the operation of the sub-input button SB, but the operation of displaying the menu screen may be changed or a plurality of operations for displaying the menu screen may be provided. .. In the case of Yes in step 7106, in step 7108, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S displays the menu screen on the effect display device S40. Next, in step 7109, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S stops the standby timer (the timer for measuring the time from the game end timing to the standby screen described later) to clear the timer value to zero. Next, in step 7110, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S turns off the standby timer timing flag (a flag that is turned on when the standby timer is timing). Next, in step 7111, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S is a menu standby timer (a timer for measuring the time for transition from the menu screen to the standby screen described later, and is an initial value at the timing when the menu screen is started to be displayed. Is set) to a predetermined time B (in this example, it is 300 seconds, which is longer than the predetermined time A described later), and the timer is started. Next, in step 7112, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S turns on the menu standby timer timing flag (the flag that turns on when the menu standby timer is timing), and the next process (process in step 7200). Move to.

Further, in step 7114, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the menu screen end condition is satisfied. The menu screen end condition is a condition for ending the display of the menu screen, in other words, switching the screen (image) displayed on the effect display device S40 from the menu screen to another screen (image), and is a specific example to be satisfied. May be configured as follows.
(1) It may be configured to be satisfied when there is a new bet operation, a new start lever operation, or a new reel rotation start.
(2) In a situation where the menu screen is continuously displayed, it may be configured to be satisfied when a predetermined time (300 seconds, which is the predetermined time B in this example) has elapsed from the start of displaying the menu screen.
(3) It may be configured to be satisfied by selecting and deciding a predetermined item on the menu screen and executing a predetermined operation on the screen corresponding to the predetermined item. For example, the cursor is placed on the volume adjustment item. By operating the sub input button SB, the screen corresponding to the volume adjustment is displayed. After adjusting the volume to the desired level by operating the cross key SB2, select by operating the sub input button SB again. The volume is set to the medium size, the display of the menu screen ends, and the screen before the menu screen is displayed (sometimes called a normal screen) is displayed.

Returning to the explanation of the flowchart, in the case of Yes in step 7114, in step 7116, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S displays the image displayed on the effect display device S40 before the menu screen is displayed. As an example, when the screen where the main character is walking in the forest is displayed and the menu screen is displayed by operating the sub input button SB, when the menu screen display ends, it will be displayed again. The screen where the hero is walking in the forest will be displayed. Next, in step 7118, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S stops the menu standby timer and clears to zero. Next, in step 7120, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S turns off the menu standby timer timing flag and shifts to the next process (process of step 7200).

If No in step 7114, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines in step 7122 whether or not the sub-input button SB or the cross-shaped key SB2 has been operated. In the case of Yes in step 7122, in step 7124, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S resets the predetermined time B (300 seconds in this example) to the menu standby timer, and shifts to the next process (process of step 7200). To do. In addition, even if No in step 7104, step 7106 or step 7122, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 7200). As described above, in the present embodiment, when the sub input button SB or the cross key SB2 is operated while the menu screen is displayed, the menu standby timer is set to the predetermined time B (300 in this example). Seconds) are reset, in other words, the time until the standby screen is displayed is measured again from the beginning. In this example, two timers, a standby timer and a menu standby timer, are used as timers related to the display of the standby screen, but the present invention is not limited to this, and only one timer related to the display of the standby screen is used. It may be configured to be used. Specifically, only the standby timer is used as the timer related to the display of the standby screen, and the predetermined time A (180 seconds) set in the above-mentioned standby timer and the predetermined time B (300 seconds) set in the menu standby timer are waited for. It may be configured to be set in a timer. As a specific example, the third stop button is turned on → off, the standby timer is set to the predetermined time A (180 seconds), and then the sub input button SB is operated under the condition that the timer value of the standby timer is 100 seconds. When the menu screen is displayed, the standby timer may be configured to set a predetermined time B (300 seconds).

Next, FIG. 57 is a flowchart of the standby screen display control process according to the subroutine of step 7200 of FIG. 41 in the present embodiment. First, in step 7202, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the standby screen is hidden. Here, the standby screen is a screen that can be displayed on the effect display device SG when it is determined that the game has not been executed for a predetermined time (the game has not progressed), and the effect executed by the game machine. The moving image related to the story is repeatedly played back, the message "Power saving" is displayed, and the logo mark related to the game machine manufacturer is displayed. In this example, the condition for displaying the menu screen described above requires the operation by the player, while the condition for displaying the standby screen does not require the operation by the player.

In the case of Yes in step 7202, in step 7204, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the standby timer timing flag (a flag that is turned on when the standby timer described later is timing) is off. To do. In the case of Yes in step 7204, in step 7206, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the game end timing has been reached. In this process, the timing at which the third stop button is turned from on to off is set as the game end timing. In the case of Yes in step 7206, in step 7208, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S is a standby timer (a timer for measuring the time from the end of the game to the standby screen, and the initial value is set at the timing when the game ends. The timer is started by setting a predetermined time A (in this example, 180 seconds, which is shorter than the predetermined time B described above). Next, in step 7210, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S turns on the standby timer timing flag and shifts to step 7212. In the present embodiment, the condition for executing the processes of step 7208 and step 7210 is that the game end timing has been reached, but in addition to this, the sub input button SB is operated on the menu screen. Therefore, it may be a condition that the image displayed before the display of the menu screen is displayed (the display of the menu screen is finished).

Next, in step 7212, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the timer value of the standby timer has become 0. In the case of Yes in step 7212, in step 7214, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S displays the standby screen on the effect display device S40, and proceeds to step 7216. Next, in step 7216, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S stops the menu standby timer and clears it to zero. Next, in step 7218, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S turns off the menu standby timer timing flag. Next, in step 7220, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S stops the standby timer and clears to zero. Next, in step 7222, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S turns off the standby timer timing flag and proceeds to step 7224. In addition, even if No in step 7206, the process proceeds to step 7224.

Next, in step 7224, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the menu standby timer timing flag is on. If Yes in step 7224, in step 7226, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the timer value of the menu standby timer has become 0. In the case of Yes in step 7226, in step 7228, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S displays the standby screen on the effect display device S40. Next, in step 7230, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S stops the menu standby timer and clears it to zero. Next, in step 7232, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S turns off the menu standby timer timing flag. Next, in step 7234, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S stops the standby timer and clears to zero. Next, in step 7236, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S turns off the standby timer timing flag and shifts to the next process (process of step 2110). Even if No in step 7224 or 7226, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 2110).

Further, in the case of No in step 7204, in other words, when the standby timer timekeeping flag is on, in step 7238, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines whether or not the standby timer timekeeping end condition is satisfied. To do. Here, the standby timer timing end condition is a condition for ending the standby timer timing and clearing the timer value of the standby timer to zero, and there is a new bet operation and a new start lever operation. In addition, the standby timer timing end condition is such that the rotation of the reel is newly started. If Yes in step 7238, the process proceeds to step 7212, while if No in step 7238, the process proceeds to step 7216.

If No in step 7202, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines in step 7240 whether or not the standby screen end condition is satisfied. Here, the standby screen end condition is a condition for ending the display of the standby screen. In this example, there is a new bet operation, a new start lever operation, and a new reel rotation. The start, etc. are the conditions for ending the standby screen. It should be noted that the standby screen may be configured to be able to shift to the menu screen (display the menu screen). For example, the menu screen can be displayed by operating the sub input button SB in the situation where the standby screen is displayed. It may be configured as follows. Next, in step 7242, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S displays the image displayed before the display of the standby screen on the effect display device S40, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 2110). As an example, in a situation where the screen where the hero is walking in the forest is displayed, when the standby screen is displayed because the A game has not progressed for a predetermined time, the hero is executed again by executing the betting operation. Will be displayed on the screen walking in the forest.

Next, FIG. 58 is a standby screen transition image diagram according to the present embodiment. First, in the case of (a), the menu screen is displayed because the sub-input button SB is operated while the menu screen can be displayed. After that, under the situation where the menu screen is displayed, 5 minutes (predetermined time B, 300 seconds) elapses without the operation of the sub input button SB or the bet button D220, and the standby screen is displayed. Next, in the case of (b), the game is executed, the player stops the reels, and all the reels are stopped by the stop operation of the third stop button, and the player presses the third stop button. Since 3 minutes (a predetermined time A and 180 seconds) have elapsed from the release timing and the sub input button SB and the bet button D220 have not been operated during that time, the standby screen is displayed. As described above, in this example, a predetermined time B elapses after the menu screen is displayed, and a predetermined time A elapses after the game is finished (after the third stop button is turned on → off). It is configured so that the standby screen can be displayed in, and the predetermined time B is longer than the predetermined time A.

<< Configuration of menu screen and standby screen applicable to this example >>
Here, the configurations related to the menu screen and the standby screen applicable to the rotating drum type gaming machine according to this example will be described in detail below, including the configuration of the present embodiment. It should be noted that the configurations listed below are applicable to all the above-described embodiments, and there is no problem in appropriately combining one or a plurality of configurations.

<Timekeeping start timing of standby timer>
As the timing to start timing by setting the initial value in the standby timer that measures the time until the standby screen is displayed, (1) the third stop button as the final stop operation (stop corresponding to the reel rotating to the end) The timekeeping starts from the timing when the button) is turned on and then turned off, (2) the timekeeping starts from the execution timing of the display judgment, (3) the timekeeping starts from the payout completion timing based on the winning, and (4) the game. As the end process, the time is started from the timing when the command related to the end of the game is set or transmitted to the sub control board S side. (5) The time is started from the timing when the command related to the end of the game is received by the sub control board S side. You may. Further, a predetermined time A (a timer value set in the standby timer, for example, 180 seconds) may be set as an initial value.

<Timekeeping start timing of menu standby timer>
As the timing to set the initial value in the menu standby timer that measures the time until the menu screen is displayed and start timing, the time is configured to start from the timing when the menu screen is displayed by operating the sub input button SB. You may. Further, a predetermined time B (a timer value set in the menu standby timer, for example, 300 seconds) may be set as an initial value. The predetermined time B set in the menu standby timer is longer than the predetermined time A (timer value set in the standby timer, for example, 180 seconds) set in the standby timer described above.

<Configuration related to sub-input buttons>
The initial value may be reset to the menu standby timer when the menu standby timer is timing. For example, the sub input button SB or the cross key SB2 may be operated while the menu screen is displayed. Therefore, the menu standby timer may be configured to set a predetermined time B (a timer value set in the menu standby timer, for example, 300 seconds), which is an initial value. As an example, when the menu screen is started to be displayed, 300 seconds is set in the menu standby timer to start timing, and 100 seconds later, the cross key SB2 is pressed under the condition that the timer value of the menu standby timer is 200 seconds. The menu standby timer may be configured to reset 300 seconds by the operation. In addition, the menu screen can be started to be displayed by operating the sub input button SB, and the menu screen is being displayed (the screen is displayed by operating the sub input button SB or the cross key SB2 after starting the display of the menu screen. By operating the cross key SB on the transition destination screen to which is transitioned to (the screen of the transition destination may also be the menu screen), the initial value may be reset to the menu standby timer, or the menu screen is being displayed (menu). By operating the sub input button SB or the cross key SB2 after starting to display the screen, the screen of the transition destination to which the screen has transitioned may also be the menu screen) by operating the sub input button SB or the cross key SB. The menu standby timer may be configured so that the initial value can be reset.

<Configuration related to stop button>
In the situation where the standby timer is timing, the third stop button (stop button corresponding to the reel rotating to the end) is turned on and then turned off as the final stop operation, and then the bet operation is not executed. The stop button (left stop button, middle stop button, right stop button) may be operated depending on the situation, or the standby timer may be configured not to reset the initial value. As an example, as the final stop operation, the third stop button (the stop button corresponding to the reel rotating to the end) is turned on and then turned off, 180 seconds is set in the standby timer, and the timer starts counting. After that, when the bet operation is not executed and the timer value of the standby timer is 100 seconds, even if the stop button is operated, the timer value of the standby timer is not newly reset and the timer value is 100 seconds. It may be configured to remain as is.

<Structure related to betting operation>
When the third stop button (stop button corresponding to the reel rotating to the end) is turned on and then turned off as the final stop operation in the situation where the standby timer is timing, and then the bet operation is executed ( When betting is made by operating the bet button D220, or when a game medal is inserted into the medal insertion slot D170 and bet is made), the time counting of the standby timer is stopped and the timer value is cleared to zero. That is, in the situation where the standby timer is timing, the third stop button (the stop button corresponding to the reel rotating to the end) is turned on and then turned off as the final stop operation, and then the bet operation is executed. , If the other operations are not executed, the standby screen may not be displayed over time. In addition, in such a configuration, the standby screen is not displayed due to the passage of time from the betting operation, but the volume of the sound being output when a specific time (for example, 100 seconds) has passed from the betting operation. May be configured to be 0 or smaller. With this configuration, the number of remaining game medals is less than the specified number (for example, 3) (for example, 1), and the remaining 1 game medal is bet (for example, the bet button is operated). When the game is finished, or when the player finishes the game with less than the specified number of game medals left in the credit (no bet is placed), the bet button is used when the clerk of the game hall cleans the game machine. Even if you operate and bet, the sound will not be output at an unintended volume. Further, even if the third stop button is turned on and then turned off as the final stop operation and the betting operation is not executed thereafter, the timing of turning off the third stop button (may be the timing when the reel is stopped) When the specific time (100 seconds) or the predetermined time A (180 seconds) has elapsed, the volume of the sound being output may be set to 0 or reduced.

<Display conditions for standby screen>
The standby screen may be displayed on the condition that the timer value of the decrement timer (in this example, the standby timer and the menu standby timer) related to the display of the standby screen has changed from "1 to 0". With this configuration, when a bet operation is executed or some abnormality occurs in the timer measurement, the timer value reaches "0" without going through "1" like "20 → 0". Even if this is done (when zero is cleared), the standby screen is not displayed, and it is possible to prevent the display of the standby screen unintentionally (after that, the timer value is reset and the value changes from 1 to 0). It may be configured to display a standby screen in case of a timer). A flag for displaying the standby screen may be provided so that the standby screen is displayed when the flag is turned on.

<Structure related to payment button>
In the situation where the standby timer is timing, the third stop button (stop button corresponding to the reel rotating to the end) is turned on and then turned off as the final stop operation, and then one or more credits exist In the situation, when the settlement of credits is executed by operating the settlement button, a predetermined time A (for example, 180 seconds) has elapsed from the operation timing of the settlement button, or the timing when the settlement of credits is completed (the last game medal is The standby screen may be displayed at the timing of returning to the discharge port D240).

<Configuration related to setting key switch>
As the final stop operation, the third stop button (the stop button corresponding to the reel rotating to the end) was turned on and then turned off, and then the setting key switch was turned off → on while the power was on. The standby screen may be displayed when a predetermined time A (for example, 180 seconds) has elapsed from the timing. Also, as the final stop operation, the third stop button (the stop button corresponding to the reel rotating to the end) is turned on and then turned off, and then the front door is opened when the power is turned on. The setting key switch may be turned off → on, and then the standby screen may be displayed when a predetermined time A (for example, 180 seconds) has elapsed from the timing when the front door is closed.

Also, as the final stop operation, the third stop button (the stop button corresponding to the reel rotating to the end) is turned on and then turned off, and then the setting key switch is turned off and then on when the power is on. In this case, the standby screen may be displayed when a predetermined time A (for example, 180 seconds) elapses from the timing when the setting key switch is turned on → off. Also, as the final stop operation, the third stop button (the stop button corresponding to the reel rotating to the end) is turned on and then turned off, and then the front door is opened when the power is turned on. When the setting key switch is turned off → on, the standby screen is displayed when a predetermined time A (for example, 180 seconds) elapses from the timing when the front door is closed after the setting key switch is turned on → off. It may be configured as follows. Note that "turning on the stop button" in this example means accepting the operation of the stop button in a situation where the operation of the stop button is valid.

<Configuration when a predetermined error occurs>
As the final stop operation, the third stop button (the stop button corresponding to the reel rotating to the end) is turned on and then turned off, and then a predetermined error regarding the main control board M side (for example, the game medal is the medal selector DS). The standby screen may be displayed when a predetermined time A (for example, 180 seconds) elapses from the timing at which the predetermined error is cleared due to the occurrence of an error) that occurs when the reel stays in the reel.

<Structure related to front door>
As the final stop operation, the standby timer starts timing by turning on and then turning off the third stop button (the stop button corresponding to the reel that is rotating to the end), and then the front door is opened and the open state. It may be configured to continue the timing of the standby timer even when the above is maintained. In addition, as the final stop operation, the standby timer starts timing by turning on and then turning off the third stop button (the stop button corresponding to the reel that is rotating to the end), and then the front door is opened. After that, the standby timer may be configured to continue timing even when the front door is closed.

<Structure 1 during AT>
In a non-AT state (for example, the state related to AT is "normal game state"), the third stop button (stop button corresponding to the reel rotating to the end) is turned on and then turned off as the final stop operation. The standby screen can be displayed when a predetermined time A (for example, 180 seconds) elapses from the set timing, while the final stop operation is performed in a situation where AT is in progress (for example, the state related to AT is "AT in progress"). The standby screen is not displayed when a predetermined time A (for example, 180 seconds) elapses from the timing when the third stop button (stop button corresponding to the reel rotating to the end) is turned on and then turned off. You may. Similarly, the standby screen may not be displayed even when a predetermined time A has elapsed from the end of the final stop operation even during the execution of the continuous effect, the execution of the bonus, and the ART. Also, in a situation where AT is in progress (for example, the state related to AT is "AT in progress"), the third stop button (corresponding to the reel rotating to the end) is supported as the final stop operation in the game in which the push order navigation is executed. When a predetermined time A (for example, 180 seconds) elapses from the timing when the button is turned on and then turned off, the standby screen is not displayed, while AT (for example, the state related to AT is "AT in progress"). In this situation, as the final stop operation in the game in which the push-order navigation was not executed, the third stop button (the stop button corresponding to the reel rotating to the end) was turned on and then turned off for a predetermined time. The standby screen may be displayed when A (for example, 180 seconds) has elapsed.

<Structure 2 during AT>
When the menu screen is displayed by operating a sub-input button or the like in a situation where AT is in progress (for example, the state related to AT is "AT in progress"), (1) a predetermined time B (for example, 300 seconds) elapses. The standby screen can be displayed by, and (2) the screen returns to the normal screen during AT (the screen displayed before the menu screen is displayed) when the predetermined time B (for example, 300 seconds) elapses. You may.

<Structure 3 during AT>
During non-AT (for example, the state related to AT is "normal game state"), the third stop button (stop button corresponding to the reel rotating to the end) is turned on and then turned off as the final stop operation. A standby screen can be displayed when a predetermined time A (for example, 60 seconds) elapses from the set timing, and in a non-AT state (for example, the state related to AT is "normal game state"). The menu screen is displayed, and the standby screen can be displayed when a predetermined time B (for example, 60 seconds) has elapsed from the start of the menu screen display. During AT (for example, the state related to AT is "AT in progress"". ), The menu screen is displayed, and when a predetermined time C (for example, 180 seconds) elapses from the start of the menu screen display, the normal screen during AT (the screen displayed before the menu screen is displayed) ) May be configured. That is, when the time values are compared, it may be configured so that "predetermined time A = predetermined time B <predetermined time C". The time values of the predetermined time A and the predetermined time B do not have to be the same, and the predetermined time C may be the longest.

<Other configurations 1>
The menu screen may be displayed by inserting a game medal from the medal insertion slot D170 while the standby screen is being displayed. The menu screen displayed by inserting a game medal from the medal insertion slot D170 while the standby screen is displayed is (1) the same screen as the menu screen displayed by operating the sub input button, (2). ) A screen displayed by executing a predetermined operation (selecting and determining a predetermined item) from the menu screen displayed by operating the sub input button, (3) By operating the sub input button It may be configured as a screen different from the displayed menu screen. Further, even if a game medal is inserted from the medal insertion slot D170 while the menu screen is displayed by inserting the game medal from the medal insertion slot D170 while the standby screen is displayed, the menu screen continues to be displayed, while the sub If a game medal is inserted from the medal insertion slot D170 while the menu screen displayed by operating the input button is displayed, the screen may be returned to the screen displayed before the menu screen is displayed. In addition, when a game medal is inserted from the medal slot D170 while the standby screen is displayed and a bet is made, the menu screen is displayed. A screen (a normal screen displayed during a game when a standby screen is displayed immediately after the power is turned on) may be displayed. In addition, when a game medal is inserted from the medal slot D170 while the standby screen is displayed and a bet is made, a menu screen is displayed, the standby screen is being displayed, and the number of game medals stored in the credit is three. In the above situation, if you operate the bet button (for example, the max bet button that allows you to bet 3 cards with one operation) and bet, the screen that was displayed before the menu screen was displayed (the standby screen is displayed immediately after the power is turned on). If this is the case, the normal screen displayed during the game) is displayed, the standby screen is being displayed, and the bet button is displayed when the number of game medals stored in the credit is less than the specified number of three. (For example, a max bet button that allows three bets by one operation) may be operated to display a menu screen.

<Other configurations 2>
It has a plurality of display modes of the standby screen, and satisfies a predetermined condition (for example, by inputting a password on the menu screen, it may be a predetermined condition that the game is inherited from the previous game history). If not, the moving image for introducing the story is displayed as the standby screen, but if the predetermined conditions are satisfied, the moving image for introducing the character may be displayed as the standby screen. .. Further, in both the case where the predetermined condition is not satisfied and the case where the predetermined condition is satisfied, the story introduction and the character introduction can be displayed as a standby screen, but whether the predetermined condition is satisfied or not. Depending on whether or not, the frequency of displaying the story introduction or the character introduction may be different.

<Other changes>
In this example, the player has a first BB combination in which the first BB is executed by winning a prize, and a second BB combination in which the second BB, which is less profitable for the player than the first BB, is executed by winning the prize. It may be configured, and further, it may be configured so that the first BB combination and the second BB combination can be won in duplicate (providing the combination of "first BB + second BB"). With such a configuration, when the "1st BB + 2nd BB" is won, the symbol combination (1st BB combination) corresponding to the highly profitable execution of the 1st BB can be stopped and displayed, and after the execution of the 1st BB is completed, the first The symbol combination (second BB combination) corresponding to 2BB may be stopped and displayed (the fact that the second BB has been won is carried over even during the execution of the first BB). In addition, when the "1st BB + 2nd BB" is won, by executing the highly profitable 1st BB first, for example, in the situation where the closing time of the amusement park is approaching, the "1st BB + 2nd BB" is won. In that case, the low-profit second BB is executed first, the amusement park is closed during the execution of the second BB, and the high-profit first BB cannot be executed and the game must be ended. Can be prevented.

Immediately after the operation of the first BB is completed, the winning of the second BB may be notified, or the winning of the second BB may be notified immediately (after a predetermined game has elapsed without notification). If this is the case, the probability of winning the re-game may be increased during the incubation period after the operation of the first BB is completed. Further, when it is hidden, it may be configured to execute an effect suggesting the possibility of winning the second BB (for example, the effect display device S40 displays "BB consecutive villa chance time !!"). .. In such a configuration, if the second BB is not won after the end of the first BB, it will be definite that the effect is generated = the second BB is won, so only the first BB is won. However, it is preferable that the effect suggesting the possibility of winning the second BB is executed even after the operation of the first BB is completed (the effect mode after the end of the first BB is the same as that described above. , For example, "BB Renso Chance Time !!" is displayed on the production display device S40). Further, even when only the first BB is won and the first BB is won again after the operation of the first BB is completed, the execution of the effect suggesting the possibility of winning the second BB is not stopped. You may. In addition, it may be configured to notify the winner of the first BB once after notifying the winner of the second BB (for example, the display of "BB consecutive villa chance time !!" → the display of "sorry" → the "first". 1BB is being won !! ”etc.). Further, when the second BB is hidden after the operation of the first BB is completed due to the duplicate winning during the AT, the effect display device S40 returns to the AT after the AT is being prepared (after the return, the effect is on the effect). (Reducing the number of remaining games, etc.), but the internal reduction of the number of remaining games, etc. may be continuously suspended. When the first BB and the second BB are won in duplicate, the number of payouts from the start of the operation of the first BB to the end of the operation of the second BB may be accumulated and displayed on the effect display device S40 or the like.

In this example,
(1) When the first BB and the small winning combination A are elected in duplicate, the first BB is prioritized for stop control.
(2) When the first BB and the small winning combination B are elected in duplicate, the small winning combination B is prioritized for stop control.
That is, a small winning combination that gives priority to the stop control over the BB combination and a small winning combination that gives priority to the stop control of the BB combination may be provided.
(3) When the first BB and the small winning combination A are won in duplicate, when the small winning combination A wins, or a part of the symbol combinations corresponding to the small winning combination A (for example, at the time of the first stop, the first 2 When stopped), a notification corresponding to the small winning combination A (notification so that the small winning combination A can win a prize) is performed.
That is, the result of the first stop or the second stop (the stop mode after the execution of the first stop or the second stop) is to notify the first BB combination that normally gives priority to the stop control over the small combination A. Therefore, when the first BB combination cannot win a prize regardless of the position where the third stop is stopped (the small combination A can win a prize), the notification corresponding to the small combination A is performed. In addition, when the small winning combination A wins as a result of the game, the notification corresponding to the small winning combination A is performed. With this configuration, it is possible to execute the most advantageous notification to the player according to various game situations that change in the middle of the game, and the content notified by the effect display device S40 or the like and the actual content. It is possible to prevent the winning roles from being inconsistent.
(4) When the first BB and the small winning combination B are won in duplicate, the notification corresponding to the small winning combination B is performed during the rotation of all reels.

Further, it may be configured to have a display (7-segment or the like) for displaying the number of the stop-displayed symbol (or symbol combination) controlled by the main control board M. In such a configuration, the effect display device S40 performs a contradiction effect that does not correspond to the stopped displayed symbol (or symbol combination). For example, when the replay-replay-replay symbol combination is stopped on the effective line, an effect that is likely to be output when the watermelon is won (for example, lighting the lamp in green) is executed.

In this example, an earphone jack that can output (cannot input) from the sub-control board S side may be provided and has the following features.
(1) The volume output from the earphone jack can be selected from a plurality of stages by using the sub input button of the game machine.
(2) Even when playing a game using the earphone jack, when an error occurs, an error notification sound is output from the game machine at a predetermined volume (for example, it is output from a speaker provided in the game machine). ).
(3) When playing a game using the earphone jack, an error notification sound is output from the earphone jack at a predetermined volume other than the maximum volume even when the maximum volume is selected.

Further, during the AT state or the BB execution, the effect sound may be output from the game machine even when the game is played using the earphone jack. Further, the volume for when the earphone jack is not used and the volume for when the earphone jack is not used may be stored separately. Even if the earphone is pulled out, the volume for when using the earphone jack may not be cleared (initial value) immediately. For example, when there is no operation for 10 minutes, any volume may be cleared (to the initial value). However, when the earphone is still inserted, it is not necessary to clear (default) the volume for when using the earphone jack. The earphone jack is preferably provided in a place that does not interfere with the game (for example, when the earphone is inserted in the earphone jack, the earphone cord does not get entangled with the player's arm when trying to operate the start lever. ).

In this example,
(1) The winning probability of the re-game combination can be changed between after the end of BB when the number of acquisitions is more than a specific number and after the end of BB when the number of acquisitions is less than a specific number. It may be configured.
(2) There may be a plurality of RT states that shift when the RT state (for example, RT1) in which the winning probability of the re-game combination is relatively high ends. For example, it may be configured to shift to "RT0" after the end of "RT1", or may be configured to shift to "RT3" (a newly provided RT state).
(3) The RT state is changed when a predetermined winning combination is won. That is, the transition of the RT state is not made to have a one-to-one correspondence with the winning, and the transition is made with a certain probability regardless of the conditional device and the winning (for example, the RT transition lottery is executed with a certain probability for each game).
(4) Equipped with 0 RT transitions, duplicate winning of 0-card combination, and duplicate winning of 0-card combination. That is, no matter which push order is stopped, no matter what position the stop operation is performed, a 0-card combination is provided, which is a combination in which one or more winning combinations are not won, and the RT state is changed by winning the 0-card winning combination. It may be configured to enable the duplicate winning of the 0-card combination and the 7-card combination or the duplicate winning of the 0-card combination A and the 0-card combination B. When the 0-card combination is won in duplicate, either the 0-card combination that shifts to RT or the 0-card combination that does not shift to RT may be won depending on the pushing order. It is also possible to win the 0-card combination and the BB combination in duplicate, and give priority to the 0-card combination to win the prize.

As in this example, the push order of the push order bell is 6 choices ("left → middle → right", "left → right → middle", "middle → left → right", "middle → right → left", 6 choices of "right → left → middle" and "right → middle → left"), and the push order of the push order re-game is configured to be 3 choices (the first stop is 3 choices of left, middle, and right). If this is the case, the push order display on the push order display device D270 differs between the push order navigation display related to the push order bell and the push order navigation display related to the push order replay, in other words, 6-choice push order navigation. The display and the three-choice push order navigation display may be configured to be different. As an example, as the push order display related to 6 choices, "= 1" in the case of "left → middle → right", "= 2" in the case of "left → right → middle", "middle → left →" "= 3" for "right", "= 4" for "middle → right → left", "= 5" for "right → left → middle", "right → middle → left" In the case of, it is displayed as "= 6", and as the push order display related to the three choices, "= 7" when the first stop is on the left and "= 8" when the first stop is in the middle. , When the first stop is on the right, it may be configured to be displayed as "= 9".

In this example, the configuration may be as follows.
(1) The number of AT digested games, which is the number of games continuously digested in the "AT in progress state", "specialized precursor state", or "additional specialized state", is configured to be displayable on the effect display device, and AT is configured. If the number of remaining games becomes 0 and the game shifts from "AT in progress" to "normal game state" and then wins the AT lottery again within a specific game and shifts to "AT in progress", the previous AT While the number of digested games is taken over and added, the "advantageous section" continues for a predetermined number of games (for example, 1500 games), so that the "AT in progress state" is changed to the "normal game state" and then again within a specific game. If the AT lottery is won and the state shifts to the "AT in progress state", the number of AT digestion games is not taken over from the previous number of AT digestion games, and the number of AT digestion games is newly counted from 0 games.
(2) If the stop button is not operated for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) after the reel starts rotating, a display prompting the reel to be stopped on the effect display device S40 (for example, "reel" If you do not operate the stop button for a predetermined time after the reel starts rotating in a game in which push order navigation is occurring, (2-1) effect The display areas of the push order navigation display on the display device S40 and the display prompting to stop the reel do not overlap, and (2-2) the display prompting to stop the reel is not displayed.
(3) When the power is set to "ON → OFF → ON" in a game in which push order navigation is occurring, the rotation speed of the reel becomes a constant speed and before the operation of the stop button becomes effective. The push order navigation (display on the push order display device D270 and / or display on the effect display device S40) is redisplayed at the timing of.
(4) The state related to a certain AT and the state related to another AT are the states related to the AT in which the push order navigation occurs differently in the game in which the common bell is won, or the push order navigation can occur. The frequency of push-order navigation in the game in which the common bell is won differs between the state related to a certain AT and the state related to another AT, which is a state related to AT in which push-order navigation can occur.
(5) In the RT state (“RT1” in this example), which has the highest probability of winning a replay, the percentage of games in which push-order navigation occurs is higher than the percentage of games in which push-order navigation does not occur. high. For example, the total winning rate of the Belle role and the replay role is 1/2 or more. With this configuration, the player can proceed with the game without getting bored during AT.
It may be configured as described above.

Here, the feature points of the above-mentioned game section will be described in detail below.

(2) The push order navigation can be displayed on the effect display device S40.
(3) A command (signal) relating to a condition device in which a player's profit margin differs depending on the pressing order can be transmitted from the main control board M side to the sub control board S side.
(4) A lottery for changing the performance of the "advantageous section" (for example, shifting from a "high probability state" to a "AT in progress state" as a state related to AT), a lottery for adding the number of AT games, and the like can be executed.
(5) In the "advantageous section", the advantageous section indicator YH is always lit.
(6) Advantageous section When the counter value of the remaining game counter YKc-1 becomes 0, the "advantageous section" is basically the "advantageous section" unless BB or push order navigation is executed once or more in the "advantageous section". The exception is that if the "advantageous section" continues for a predetermined number of games (1500 in this example), the BB and push order navigation will be performed once in the "advantageous section". Is configured so that the "advantageous section" can be terminated even if it is not executed.
(7) Advantageous section remaining game counter The measurement of YKc-1 is executed in all games in the "advantageous section" (for example, the counter value is added for each game even during BB execution).

Here, the feature points related to the lottery for setting the "advantageous section" will be described in detail below.
(1) Whether or not the "advantageous section" is set is determined based on the result of the winning combination lottery, and whether or not the "advantageous section" is set is not determined as the number of games elapses.
(2) When a condition device having a different lottery probability is established depending on the set value, the set lottery for the "advantageous section" is not executed when the condition device is established.
(3) When a certain condition device is established and the set lottery for the "advantageous section" is executed, the lottery probability is the same even if the set values are different.
(4) The performance of the "advantageous section" does not differ depending on the set value (for example, when a strong cherry is established, the setting 1 shifts to the "high probability state", and the setting 6 shifts to the "AT in progress state". Etc., it does not differ depending on the set value).
(5) Setting to "advantageous section" If you win the lottery, it will basically be "advantageous section" from the next game (setting to "advantageous section" by the BB role established in "normal section" If you win the lottery, you can set it as a "waiting section" in the next game).

Here, the feature points related to the change in the performance of the "advantageous section" will be described in detail below.
(1) The lottery for changing the performance of the "advantageous section" with reference to the set value is not executed (as a condition common to all set values, a predetermined number of games may have passed and a predetermined condition device may be established). ..

The lottery for adding the number of AT games is not executed.
(3) When the BB is internally elected, the lottery for changing the performance of the "advantageous section" is not executed. The lottery for adding the number of AT games is not executed.
(4) During BB execution, if the lottery probability of the BB combination that triggered the BB being executed differs depending on the set value, a lottery to change the performance of the "advantageous section" during the BB execution. Is not executed. The lottery for adding the number of AT games is not executed.
(5) During BB execution, if the lottery probability of the BB combination that triggered the BB being executed does not differ depending on the set value, a lottery to change the performance of the "advantageous section" during the BB execution. Can be executed. A lottery for adding the number of AT games can also be executed.

Further, the following configuration may be applied to the rotating cylinder type gaming machine according to this example. Further, the following configurations may be applied individually or a plurality of configurations may be combined.

<< Point 1 >>
(1) Although it is an "advantageous section", it is configured to have a "high probability state" as a state related to an AT that is more difficult to win the AT lottery than the "high probability state".
(2) The continuous effect is composed of at least the number of consecutive games of a predetermined G number or more.
(3) It has a normal role that does not win 100% in the AT lottery and a special role that wins 100% in the AT lottery, and when the continuous production is executed with the normal role as an opportunity and the AT lottery is not won. In this case, if a special role is won during the continuous production, an effect for notifying that the AT lottery has been won is executed even during the continuous production (the continuous production is replaced).
(4) The more games remaining in the number of high-securing obstacle games, the higher the probability of selecting a continuous production with a high degree of expectation (expectation of bonus winning, AT lottery winning), and the remaining games of high-securing obstacle games. The smaller the number, the higher the probability of selecting a continuous production with low expectations.
(5) Highly secured The smaller the number of remaining games, the higher the probability of selecting a one-game completion production with a higher expectation (expectation of bonus winning, expectation of AT lottery winning).
(6) If the number of remaining games with a high number of obstacle games is less than or equal to a predetermined value (for example, 4 games), the continuous production that is lost is not executed, but the continuous production that is a hit (bonus winning, AT lottery winning) is Can be executed. In other words, when the number of remaining games in the number of high-securing obstacle games is less than a predetermined value (for example, 4 games), the production of completing one game can be executed in both cases of loss and hit, but continuous production is a hit. Can only be executed if.
(7) When the number of ceiling Gs (1500 games) in the advantageous section is less than the predetermined value (4 games), the continuous effect is not executed.
(8) The selection tendency of the effect differs depending on whether the number of ceiling Gs in the advantageous section is less than or equal to the predetermined value or more than the predetermined value (frequency of continuous effect, expected degree of jackpot of predetermined effect, etc.).
(9) When a new shift to the "advantageous section" is made during the continuous production of loss in the "normal section" (for example, the production of defeat).
(9-1) Rewrite the continuous production (stage change production in the "advantageous section" transition game, "turning around and having a character, Stechen suggestion dialogue", etc.). The rate at which the effect is rewritten during the continuous effect (defeat) is higher than the rate at which the effect is rewritten during the continuous effect (victory).
(9-2) Change the stay stage after executing the continuous production to the end. The ratio of notifying that the transition is made on the sub-control board S side in the game when shifting to the "advantageous section" during the execution of the continuous production, and the sub in the game when the continuous production is not executed. The ratio of notifying that the shift has been made on the control board S side is different.

<< Point 2 >>
(1) A player can select a stay stage (stage A group) that can be set in the "normal section". For example, it can be selected by operating the sub input button.
(2) The lottery result of whether or not it will be the 1: "advantageous section" of the stay stage A group will be announced in advance when the start lever is turned on in the game.
Stay stage A group 2: The lottery result of whether or not it will be an "advantageous section" will be announced later at the end of the game (or when the next game is bet (when the replay stop is displayed, when the start lever is operated)).
(3) When the "normal section" is changed from the "advantageous section" and the stay stage other than the stay stage A group, the stay stage is selected from the stay stage A group. When the stay stage is changed from the "advantageous section" and the stay stage other than the production group A to the "normal section", the stay stage is maintained.
(4) The AT expectation when the advantageous section indicator is off and the stay stage A group is off and the AT expectation when the advantageous section indicator is off and other than the stay stage A group are different. For example, from the one with the lowest AT expectation, "advantageous section indicator is off and stay stage A group → advantageous section indicator is on and stay stage A group → advantageous section indicator is on and other than stay stage A group"
(5) The transition of the stay stage (stay stage A group → stay stage B group) is triggered by the production in the game that has changed from the "normal section" to the "advantageous section" (including the production of 1G completion and the continuous production). There is a difference between the rate of occurrence and the rate of transition of the stay stage triggered by the production in the game that changed from the "advantageous section" to the "normal section".

<< Point 3 >>
(1) The higher the number of guaranteed games in the "advantageous section" (the number of remaining games with high secured obstacle games), the higher the degree of expectation (the degree of expectation of winning the AT lottery, the degree of expectation of winning the bonus). The higher the probability of selecting a stay stage, and the smaller the number of guaranteed games in the "advantageous section" (the number of remaining games with high secured obstacle games), the higher the degree of expectation (the degree of expectation won in the AT lottery, the bonus won). There is a high probability of choosing a stay stage with a high degree of expectation.
(2) When the remaining guaranteed games in the "advantageous section" are less than or equal to a predetermined value (4 games or less), the smaller the number of remaining guaranteed games, the lower the probability of selecting the effect of shifting the stay stage.
(3) High expectations (expectations of winning the AT lottery, expectations of winning the bonus) High expectations If a production with high expectations is selected without staying at the stage, the expectations Expectation (winning AT lottery) than when a production with high expectation is selected while staying in a high stay stage (expectation of winning AT lottery, expectation of winning bonus) The degree of expectation that you are doing, the degree of expectation that you are winning the bonus) is high.

<< Point 4 >>
(1) If you win the BB in the "Resurrection possibility production state"
(1-1) The AT addition lottery may or may not be executed during the BB.
(1-2) After the end of BB, it may or may not shift to the "AT in progress state".
(1-3) The AT addition lottery may or may not be executed during the BB.

(2) The AT addition lottery may or may not be executed in the "state for effect of resurrection". When the AT addition lottery is executed
(3) If you win the reverse push white 7 match replay or the forward push black 7 match replay in "Resurrection possibility production state", avoidance navigation will occur, and at the timing after executing the resurrection production (success) Notify the number of additional games.
(4) If a role that can shift to the "advantageous section" is won in the "recovery possibility production state", the advantage section indicator turns off at the start timing of the next game, while the "revival possibility production state" If a role that can shift to the "advantageous section" is won in the next game when the revival lottery is not won, the advantageous section indicator can be turned on at the start timing of the next game.
(5) In the case of the specification that the AT addition lottery is not performed although it is an advantageous section in the "state for revival possibility production"
(5-1) Even if you win a role (for example, Watermelon A) that can execute an AT additional lottery in the "Resurrection possibility production state", the number of AT games will not be added, but 1G that executes the resurrection production (success) If a winning combination (for example, watermelon A) that can be added in (“AT in progress”) is won, the number of AT games can be added.
(6) Bonus when "Battle production 3G + Revival production (failure) 1G" is scheduled to be executed as the production at the end of AT, and the bonus is won in the resurrection production execution game and the resurrection production (success) is executed. The number of AT games will not be added in the middle, but the number of AT games will be added in the bonus when the bonus is won and the resurrection production (success) is executed in the battle production execution game (one of 3G). Can be done. In addition, the production tendency during the bonus may be different.

<< Point 5 >>
(1) When there are a game state A and a game state B as states related to AT which is an "advantageous section".
(1-1) The winning expectation of the AT addition lottery is "game state A> advantageous state B" (the number of AT games is relatively easier to be added in the game state A than in the game state B, or the AT addition game. a lot).
(1-2) The number of additional additions that can be added when the winning combination X is won in the game state A and the number of additional additions that can be added when the winning combination Y is won in the game state A are different.
(1-3) The number of additional additions that can be added when the combination X is won in the game state B and the number of additional additions that can be added when the combination Y is won in the game state B are the same.

<< Point 6 >>
(1) The display modes of the fall avoidance suggestion display are as follows: when the start lever is operated (A), after the first stop to before the second stop (B), and after the second stop to before the third stop (C). Make a difference.
(1-1) The display mode of the fall avoidance suggestion display is in the order of "A <B <C" from the one that is inconspicuous to the player.
(2) In the case where the AT has ended from the "AT in progress state" and "RT1" state to the "low probability state" and "RT1", if the push order combination is won, the push order display device is used. The order navigation is displayed, but the push order navigation is not displayed on the effect display device (displayed as "???").
(3) If a prize 18 (falling combination) is won in the third stop in a game in which the fall avoidance suggestion display is displayed, the display is maintained in the same display mode as the display mode after the second stop. ..
(4) When the start lever is operated in a situation where the power is restored and the initial processing related to the display of the effect display device is not completed, the initial processing related to the display of the effect display device is completed. At the previous timing, the push order navigation is executed by the voice from the speaker (for example, "Left!").
(5) Even in a state related to AT that is highly profitable for the player, such as the "additional specialization state", when the fall role is won, the fall avoidance suggestion effect is displayed with priority.
(6) The "advantageous section" is maintained even if the falling combination wins in the "advantageous section".
(7) When the falling combination is configured to be a pushing order combination (whether or not to stop and display is determined by the pushing order), a pushing order combination (pushing order bell, etc.) that is not a falling combination is won and the pushing order is selected. When the navigation is executed and stopped in a push order different from the push order navigation, the display of the effect display device may be dimmed, while when the falling combination is won, the display is stopped in a different push order from the push order navigation. In that case, the display of the effect display device is not dimmed (or is not dimmed to the display of the fall avoidance suggestion effect).

<< Point 7 >>
(1) When configured to shift to "RT3" and "AT ready state" after the end of BB related to BB with setting difference (similar to change example 1 from this embodiment).
(1-1) By winning a winning role with a high probability in "RT3", the player wins the AT addition lottery (100% may be won or may be won with a predetermined probability).
(1-2) The RT state that shifts after the end of the BB is different depending on the type of the BB combination, and the AT addition lottery execution mode (the combination that executes the addition lottery, the addition) according to the combination that is likely to appear in any of the RT states. The probability of winning the lottery and the number of games added to the AT) will be different.
(1-3) Bonus A->RT1-> Promotion Replay A-> RT3 (high replay probability), Bonus B->RT2-> Promotion Replay B-> RT3, and add up with Promotion Replay A and Promotion Replay B The winning rate or the average number of additional games is different.
(1-4) If bonus A → RT1 and bonus B → RT2, and have promotion replay A and promotion replay B, the winning probability of promotion replay A and promotion replay B is high for RT1 and RT2. It's different.
(1-5) Bonus A → RT1 and bonus B → RT2 are configured so that promotion replay and fall replay can be won, respectively, and the winning probabilities of promotion replay and fall replay differ between RT1 and RT2.
(1-6) There is a setting difference After the BB ends, the system shifts to the dedicated RT state (“RT3” and “AT preparation state”), and then shifts to the “additional specialized state” triggered by the promotion replay.

<< Point 8 >>
(1) It has 1st class BB-B1 and 1st class BB-B2, and shifts to "RT3" after the completion of 1st class BB-B1 and shifts to "RT4" after the completion of 1st class BB-B2. When configured as.
(1-1) The execution mode of the AT additional lottery (the combination of executing the additional lottery, the additional lottery winning probability, the number of AT additional games) is different between "RT3" and "RT4".
(1-2) The effect tendency is different between the BB start effect related to the first type BB-B1 and the BB start effect related to the first type BB-B2 (the selection rate of the highly expected BB start effect is different).
(2) When the re-game 04 is stopped and displayed before the re-game 06 in the "AT ready state" and "RT3", the process shifts to "RT4" and the treasure chest loss effect is not executed. In "RT4", the replaying role promoted to "RT3" is elected. In addition, when "RT4" is changed to "RT3", even if the player wins the replay-E1 to E3 after that, the treasure box opening addition effect is not executed.
(3) It has multiple types of BB roles, and even if the BB role is won, it is difficult for the player to visually determine which BB role has won, and after the end of BB depending on the type of BB. The RT state of the above is different, and the execution mode of the AT addition lottery when the promotion replay combination is won differs depending on the RT state. When configured in this way, the selection tendency of the treasure chest acquisition effect performed during BB differs depending on the type of BB (acquire gold treasure chest, acquire silver treasure chest, acquire copper treasure chest, etc.) The number distribution is different).

<< Point 9 >>
(1) There is a setting difference that was won during AT. There is a ratio that the same production mode is obtained between the BB start effect related to BB and the start effect related to BB that was won during AT, and there is a setting difference that was won during non-AT. There is a difference between the BB start effect related to BB and the start effect related to BB with no setting difference won during non-AT, which have the same effect mode.

<< Point 10 >>
(1) Suggest the set value when winning the BB without setting difference in the "normal section" rather than the probability that the effect suggesting the set value is selected when the BB with the setting difference is won in the "advantageous section". The probability that the production will be selected is higher.
(2) The BB won during the non-AT selects a different BB start effect according to the setting difference, but the BB won during the AT selects the same BB start effect regardless of the setting difference.
(3) The ratio that the BB start effect is the same between the BB with the setting difference won during AT and the BB without the setting difference won during AT, and the setting difference between BB and non-AT won during non-AT. The ratio of the BB start effect to the same effect mode is different between the winning BB and the BB with no setting difference.

<< Point 11 >>
(1) "No setting difference combination (a combination whose winning rate does not differ depending on the set value) + BB" When winning, select "Advantageous section indicator lighting + effect B" that can be executed when "No setting difference combination" is won. The probability of selecting "advantageous section indicator off + effect A", which can be executed at the time of winning the "combination with setting difference (combination with different winning rate depending on the set value)", is higher than the probability of selecting {"rare". "Role + BB" is a production that encourages the winning of BB (for example, a battle production) rather than a production that fuels the transition to a high-probability state (for example, a production that shifts to a stay stage that can stay in a high-probability state). Is easier to execute}.
(2) When a predetermined role (for example, cherry) is won, it is configured to shift to a high probability state at 100%, and the distribution of the number of high-securing obstacle games is "50% → 3G, 40% → 20G, 10%". → 50G ”, and if 3G is selected, the battle will be defeated, and in other cases, the battle will be won. In addition, the degree of expectation of the length of the number of highly accurate games (whether it is 20 games or 50 games) differs depending on the opponent who won the battle. Further, in the case of the above example, an effect of inciting continuation is performed at the 20th Gth with high accuracy (an effect of inciting whether the game is 20 games or 50 games, and if successful, it is confirmed that the game is 50 games). ..

<< Point 12 >>
(1) It has a predetermined freeze effect that can be executed in the "normal section", and the probability of occurrence of the freeze effect differs depending on the set value.
(1-1) In the "advantageous section", the predetermined freeze effect is not executed.
(1-2) The predetermined freeze effect is more likely to be executed in the "normal section" than in the "advantageous section".
(1-3) The predetermined freeze effect can be executed in the BB winning game with a setting difference.
(1-4) The predetermined freeze effect can be executed in the BB winning game with a setting difference.
(1-5) The predetermined freeze effect can be executed at the time of loss.

Area for storing the stored data and storing information for calculating a specific value (for example, "0") in the checksum calculation process executed when the power is turned on, (4) "Control command buffer": Sub Area for storing command information to be transmitted to the control board side, (5) "Stack pointer temporary storage buffer": Information used when power is turned off and restored, and is stored in the current stack pointer when power is turned off. Area for storing existing data and storing information to be stored in the stack pointer when the power is turned off and on, (6) "Unused area": Area for storing areas not used for the game, (7) "Saved data" 1-Saved data 8 ": Areas are used in the order of RAM in which saved data may be written to the maximum in design by a CALL instruction, a PUSH instruction, or the like. In this configuration, the highest address indicated by the stack pointer is "7FF8H" by design, but if an unexpected problem (such as an unexpected power failure) occurs, it is higher than "7FF8H". There is a possibility that the stack pointer will indicate the address of. In that case, the saved data may be stored beyond the area of "backed data 1 to saved data 8" reserved as the area of the data to be saved in advance. In consideration of such a situation, data that does not affect the progress of the game (less influence) to the address (address close to "7FF8H") that the stack pointer may indicate when the unexpected problem occurs. It is preferable to configure it to store data). Specifically, by providing an address for storing "set value data" at an address that is at least one address free from "save data 1 to save data 8" reserved as an area of data to be saved in advance, the game is played. It is possible to provide a game machine that does not give a disadvantage not only to the person but also to the game hall. In the figure, (5) "stack pointer temporary storage buffer" is data that is not used in the situation where the game is in progress after the power is turned off and restored, and (4) "control command buffer". Is unlikely to affect the progress of the game even if the command cannot be sent to the sub-control board S side, and (3) "RAM check sum data" is used in the situation where the game is progressing after the power is turned off and restored. Since the data is not generated and (2) the "external signal system data" is the data to be transmitted to the hall computer, the data has little influence on the progress of the game. On the other hand, (1) "set value data" is data related to the set value that affects the result of the game. Therefore, for example, if the set value is changed to a low set value, the player will be significantly disadvantaged. there is a possibility. Furthermore, for example, if the set value is changed to a high value, there is a possibility that a significant disadvantage will occur in the amusement park. As described above, (1) "set value data" is important data for the normal progress of the game. For this reason, in (1) to (7) in the figure, (1) "set value data" is the highest data (data stored in the higher address). In other words, the addresses between (1) "set value data" and (7) "save data 1 to save data 8" are (2) "external signal system data" and (3) "RAM check sum data". , (4) "Control command buffer", (5) "Stack pointer temporary storage buffer", and (6) "Unused area" are stored. With this configuration, even if a problem occurs in the game machine and the number of data saved in the RAM from the stack pointer exceeds the design, the RAM that is not used for the game is provided. Therefore, it is possible to configure the game machine so that an abnormal state is unlikely to occur. In addition, (2) "external signal system data", (3) "RAM checksum data", (4) "control command buffer", (5) "stack pointer temporary storage buffer", (6) "unused area" There is no problem even if the order of the addresses that store the five data of is changed. For example, even if the upper addresses are stored in the order of "(3)->(2)->(4)->(5)->(6)". Alternatively, the data may be stored in the order of "(6)->(5)->(3)->(2)->(4)" from the upper address. Further, (6) may be configured so as not to provide an "unused area". The data stored in the RAM areas (2) to (5) above does not make it impossible to insert a game medal even if the data stored in the RAM area is changed (game medal). The data does not generate an error that makes it impossible to input.

The area for storing the "set value data" shown in FIG. 59, in other words, the area (1) in FIG. 59 may be configured to store the following data.
(A) Total score data: An area for storing data related to the number of game medals that play the same role as the total number of game medals that can be inserted in an enclosed type rotating game machine that does not use actual game medals (total score data). When the score data is stored in the area (1) in FIG. 59, it may be configured to have 2 bytes as the area (1) in FIG. 59).
(B) Minimum game time: Data for counting the minimum game time of one time (counter value is subtracted for each interrupt process) (the minimum game time of one time is 4.1 seconds)
(C) Counter for the number of acquired cards when the BB is activated: A counter for determining whether or not the condition (number of payouts) for ending the BB is satisfied (counter corresponding to the value given to the player with the game value). Subtract the value)
(D) Counter for the number of acquired cards when the MB is activated: A counter for determining whether or not the condition (number of payouts) for ending the MB is satisfied (counter corresponding to the value given to the player with the game value). Subtract the value)
It should be noted that the above (A) to (D) and the "set value data" may be configured to be able to be stored (stored at different addresses), or only one of them may be stored. Good. In addition, when a plurality of data can be stored, all of the plurality of data are stored (provide an area for storing) at an address higher than the areas (2) to (7) in FIG. 59. It is preferable to configure it so as to. With such a configuration, it is possible to provide a game machine that does not give a disadvantage to the player or the game hall. Furthermore, if the address is at least higher than the area (6), the highest address indicated by the stack pointer is "7FF8H" by design, but an unexpected problem (unexpected power failure, etc.) occurred. In some cases, the stack pointer may indicate an address higher than "7FF8H", but it is possible to provide a game machine that does not give a disadvantage to the player or the game hall.

Further, only the reel unit RU may be attached to the pedestal portion BU by the screw hole BU10 (and the screw BS) of the pedestal portion BU, or the reel unit may be configured by the screw hole BU10 (and the screw BS) of the pedestal portion BU. Both the RU and one reel (left reel M51, middle reel M52, or right reel M53) may be configured to be attached to the pedestal BU.

<< How to fix the reel unit RU >>
As shown in FIGS. 64 and 65, the reel unit RU is placed on the pedestal portion BU, and each of the through holes RU40 of the reel unit RU communicates with the screw hole BU10 of the corresponding pedestal portion BU. By positioning the unit RU and screwing the screw BS into the screw hole BU 10 through the through hole RU 40 of the reel unit RU, the reel unit RU can be attached and held at a fixed position on the pedestal portion BU. By doing so, the reel unit RU can be detachably attached to the pedestal portion BU.

In addition to the case where the reel unit is attached by a screw member such as a screw or a bolt in addition to the screw BS, the reel unit RU may be detachably attached by using a detachable rivet, for example, a member such as a push rivet. It suffices if the reel unit RU can be detachably attached to the pedestal portion BU by an engaging member, a locking member, or the like.

In this example, the configuration in which the reel unit RU is placed on the pedestal portion BU is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a through hole RU40 is provided in the upper part of the reel unit RU and inside the housing by a screw BS. It may be configured to be fixed (fixed so as to hang), or through holes RU40 may be provided on both side surface portions of the reel unit RU and fixed to the inside of the housing by a screw BS. Further, even in such a configuration, the configuration relating to the position of the screw BS and the drop position of the screw BS described in detail below (for example, the configuration relating to the screw BS arranged at the position closest to the position where the front door DU opens and closes). ) Is applicable.

<< Hopper H40 and medal auxiliary tank HS >>
FIG. 66 (a) is a perspective view from the back right side of the hopper H40, and FIG. 66 (b) is a perspective view from the back left side of the hopper H40. In addition, in FIGS. The arrows indicating the movement of the screw BS are shown in FIGS. 66 (a) and 66 (b) for both the positions (1) and (2) of the screw BS and the hopper H40.

The hopper H40 (sometimes referred to as a main tank member) is a funnel-shaped tank molded from ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) resin or the like. As shown in FIG. 66, the hopper H40 has a front side wall H42, a left side wall H44, a rear side wall H46, and a right side wall H48. The front side wall H42, the left side wall H44, the rear side wall H46, and the right side wall H48 are arranged so as to circulate, and the opening H30 is formed by the front side wall H42, the left side wall H44, the rear side wall H46, and the right side wall H48. To. The opening H30 is formed so as to open upward. The medals inserted from the above-mentioned medal insertion slot D170 are introduced into the hopper H40 via the opening H30. The hopper H40 may be composed of a plurality of members, and the plurality of members may be collectively referred to as a hopper H40, a main tank member, a main tank unit, and the like.

Further, the hopper H40 has a hopper bottom portion H52, a right side inclined portion H54, and a left side inclined portion H56. The right-side inclined portion H54 is arranged on the right side of the hopper H40, and the game medal introduced on the right side of the hopper H40 is guided toward the hopper bottom portion H52, which will be described later, by its own weight. The left inclined portion H56 is arranged on the left side of the hopper H40, and guides the medal introduced on the left side of the hopper H40 toward the hopper bottom H52 by its own weight. Further, the left inclined portion H56 has a covering portion H57. The covering portion H57 extends from the left inclined portion H56 and is arranged so as to cover above substantially the left half of the disc H50 described later. By providing the covering portion H57, it is possible to prevent a plurality of game medals from being connected to each other on the hopper bottom portion H52 and being unable to fall, and to smoothly guide the game medals toward the hopper bottom portion H52.

By providing the right side inclined portion H54, the left side inclined portion H56, and the covering portion H57, any of the game medals introduced into the hopper H40 through the opening H30 can be guided to the hopper bottom portion H52. The medals guided by the right inclined portion H54, the left inclined portion H56, and the covering portion H57 are stored in the hopper bottom portion H52. As described above, the right side inclined portion H54, the left side inclined portion H56, and the covering portion H57 function as a storage inclined portion for storing the game medal inside the hopper H40.

A disc H50 as a rotating body is arranged on the bottom H52 of the hopper. The disc H50 is rotationally driven by the hopper motor H80 described above, and the game medal is ejected from the game medal outlet H60 by the rotational operation of the disc H50. In this way, the medals stored in the hopper H40 can be ejected one by one from the game medal outlet H60.

<Discharge guide unit H62>
Inside the front side wall H42, a discharge guide portion H62 is formed along the front side wall H42. The discharge guide portion H62 has an elongated shape and has an inclined surface H64 formed so as to be inclined. When the hopper H40 is arranged in the back box, the right side of the inclined surface H64 is located below the left side of the inclined surface H64. The width of the inclined surface H64 is formed to be substantially constant, but is formed so as to be slightly widened downward (from the left side to the right side).

The discharge guide unit H62 guides the game medals at the upper part of the hopper H40 to the medal auxiliary tank HS and stores them in the hopper H40 before the game medals are stored in the hopper H40 and the game medals overflow from the hopper H40. It is a member to reduce the number of medals. A discharge port H66 is formed on the right side of the inclined surface H64, and the game medal guided by the inclined surface H64 is discharged to the medal auxiliary tank HS via the discharge port H66. In this way, the discharge guide unit H62 functions as a discharge inclined portion for discharging the game medal to the outside of the hopper H40. As described above, the right-side inclined portion H54, the left-side inclined portion H56, and the covering portion H57 function as storage inclined portions for storing the game medals inside the hopper H40, whereas the discharge guide portion H62 holds the game medals. It functions as a discharge inclined portion for discharging to the outside of the hopper H40, and has a function opposite to that of the right inclined portion H54 and the left inclined portion H56.

Further, the left side inclined portion H56, the covering portion H57, and the discharge guide portion H62 all move the game medal from the left side to the right side. That is, the left side inclined portion H56, the covering portion H57, and the discharge guide portion H62 all have an inclined downward to the right. The final target of the left inclined portion H56 and the covering portion H57 is the hopper bottom portion H52, and the final target of the discharge guide portion H62 is the medal auxiliary tank HS, but by making the inclination the same, the overall hopper H40 is The movement of game medals can be aligned from left to right.

A protruding wall H58 that projects upward along the longitudinal direction of the inclined surface H64 is erected in the vicinity of the discharge port H66 on the depth side of the inclined surface H64 of the discharge guide portion H62. The protruding wall H58 can prevent the medal placed on the inclined surface H64 from falling onto the bottom of the hopper H52.

<Medal auxiliary tank HS>
The medal auxiliary tank HS has a substantially square columnar shape, and has a bottom surface and four side surfaces. The medal auxiliary tank HS has an opening HS10 at the upper portion, and the medals discharged from the hopper H40 are introduced through the opening HS10 and stored inside the medal auxiliary tank HS. The detailed structure and function of the medal auxiliary tank HS will be described later.

<< Dropping of screw BS of reel unit RU >>
A front door DU is attached to the rotating drum type game machine so as to be openable and closable with respect to the back box (the front door DU and the back box may be collectively referred to as a housing). The front door DU is rotatably attached to the back box with the left side of the front door DU (left side when viewed from the player) as the center of rotation. Therefore, the right side of the front door DU (the right side when viewed from the player) has the largest movement distance, and when the front door DU is closed, an impact due to contact or collision with the back box is generated and propagates to the back box. Since the impact is generated on the right side of the rotating body type game machine, the impact on the right side of the rotating body type game machine is the largest, and the impact tends to be gradually weakened on the left side of the rotating body type game machine.

As described above, the reel unit RU is detachably attached to the pedestal portion BU by the screw BS. The screw BS is screwed into the screw hole BU10 of the pedestal portion BU at three locations on the left side, the center, and the right side, and the right side screw BS screwed into the screw hole BU10 on the right side receives the largest impact. Therefore, the right side screw BS screwed into the right side screw hole BU10 is most likely to loosen due to an impact, and when the screwing is released, the right side screw BS falls off and falls. Further, the central screw BS screwed into the central screw hole BU10 may also be impacted and loosened due to the impact and fall off. The left screw BS screwed into the screw hole BU10 on the left side is expected to have a small impact to some extent, but it is naturally possible that the left screw BS will loosen and fall off depending on the degree of propagation of the impact and the usage time.

<< Position of screw BS and hopper H40 (1) >>
As shown in FIGS. 64 and 65, the hopper H40 (medal payout device H) and the medal auxiliary tank HS are arranged at the lower part of the reel unit RU. In the example shown in FIG. 64, the inclined surface H64 of the hopper H40 is located at least below the right side screw BS among the three screw BSs described above.

When the right side screw BS falls off due to an impact, it first falls freely downward (arrow 1A). The dropped right-side screw BS reaches the inclined surface H64, and by the weight of the right-side screw BS, it rolls on the inclined surface H64 while being guided by the inclined surface H64 and moves along the inclined surface H64 (arrow 1B). When the right side screw BS reaches the discharge port H66, it freely falls toward the medal auxiliary tank HS (arrow 1C) and is stored in the medal auxiliary tank HS.

In this way, even if the right side screw BS is dropped due to an impact, it can be discharged from the hopper H40, and the dropped screw BS is prevented from entering the hopper H40, and the dropped screw BS prevents the dropped screw BS from entering the hopper H40. It is possible to prevent the disk H50 from being hindered from rotating or damaging the disk H50, and to allow the hopper H40 to operate stably.

In the above-mentioned example, only the right side screw BS was targeted, but the hopper H40 is arranged so that all three left side screw BS, center screw BS, and right side screw BS are located above the inclined surface H64 of the hopper H40. And the reel unit RU may be positioned. Even if any of the screw BSs is dropped, the dropped screw BS can be guided to the medal auxiliary tank HS. Further, in this example, a screw BS for mounting the reel unit RU on the pedestal portion BU is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the front door DU is prone to impact due to contact with the back box or collision. A member such as a screw attached to the right side (right side when viewed from the player) may also be configured to be stored in the medal auxiliary tank HS when it falls off.

<< Position of screw BS and hopper H40 (2) >>
FIG. 67 is a front view showing the arrangement of the reel unit RU and the hopper H40. In the example shown in FIG. 67, among the three screw BSs described above, the inclined surface H64 of the hopper H40 is located below the central screw BS, and the medal auxiliary tank HS is located below the right screw BS. In FIG. 67, the same configuration as in FIG. 64 is shown with the same reference numerals.

When the right side screw BS falls off due to an impact, it freely falls downward (arrow 2A) and is stored in the medal auxiliary tank HS as it is (without contacting the inclined surface H64).

When the central screw BS falls off due to an impact, it first falls freely downward (arrow 3A). The dropped central screw BS reaches the inclined surface H64, and due to the weight of the central screw BS, it rolls on the inclined surface H64 while being guided by the inclined surface H64 and moves along the inclined surface H64 (arrow 3B). When the central screw BS reaches the discharge port H66, it freely falls toward the medal auxiliary tank HS (arrow 3C) and is stored in the medal auxiliary tank HS.

Prevents the dropped right side screw BS and central screw BS from entering the hopper H40, and prevents the dropped screw BS from hindering the rotational operation of the disc H50 or damaging the disc H50. It can be operated stably.

In the above-mentioned example, the right side screw BS and the center screw BS are targeted, but the left side screw BS also positions the hopper H40 and the reel unit RU so as to be located above the inclined surface H64 of the hopper H40. May be good. Even if any of the screw BSs is dropped, the dropped screw BS can be guided to the medal auxiliary tank HS.

As described above, it is preferable to form a projecting wall H58 projecting upward along the longitudinal direction of the inclined surface H64 on the depth side of the inclined surface H64 of the discharge guide portion H62. By providing the protruding wall H58, it is possible to prevent the screw BS that has fallen off and is placed on the inclined surface H64 from falling onto the bottom of the hopper H52. The height of the protruding wall H58 is equal to or higher than the height at which the screw BS rebounds when it falls on the inclined surface H64. It is possible to prevent the screw BS from falling onto the bottom H52 of the hopper and prevent the screw BS from interfering with or causing a failure of the operation of the disc H50.

In this way, even if the screw BS for attaching the reel unit RU is detached due to vibration caused by opening and closing the front door DU, the detached screw BS does not enter the hopper H40 and assists the medal. By configuring it to fall into the tank HS, the manager of the amusement park can easily collect the detached screw BS.

<< Hopper H400 >>
In the example shown in FIG. 67, when the right side screw BS falls, it passes through the outside of the hopper H40 (the right side of the right side wall surface H48 when viewed from the player) (arrow 2A) and is stored in the medal auxiliary tank HS. The dropped right side screw BS can be shared with the hopper H40 shown in FIG. 64 by storing the dropped right side screw BS in the medal auxiliary tank HS without passing through the inside of the hopper H40.

On the other hand, as shown by the broken line in FIG. 67, the hopper H400 having a structure in which the right side wall H48 is extended to the right side (right side wall H480) may be used. The hopper H400 has a bottom opening H410 formed at the bottom near the right side wall H480, and when the right screw BS falls, it passes through the inside of the hopper H400 and further passes through the bottom opening H410 to enter the medal auxiliary tank. Stored in HS. In this way, through the bottom opening H410, the dropped right side screw BS can be accurately guided to the medal auxiliary tank HS without invading the hopper H40.

<< Extension RU50 >>
In the above-mentioned example, when the screw BS falls off, it freely falls toward the lower medal auxiliary tank HS as it is. On the other hand, as shown by the broken line in FIG. 65, the extension portion EN may be provided below the reel unit RU and the pedestal portion BU. By providing the extension portion EN, even if the screw BS falls off, it does not fall immediately, but once guided by the extension portion EN, it can be dropped into the medal auxiliary tank HS. In this way, the extension portion EN makes it possible to match the position where the screw BS is attached with the position of the medal auxiliary tank HS, and it is possible to increase the degree of freedom in the position where the medal auxiliary tank HS is arranged.

<< Configuration of medal auxiliary tank HS >>
<Through hole HS20 for full detection electrode>
As shown in FIG. 68, the medal auxiliary tank HS is formed with at least two through holes HS20 for full detection electrodes on the back surface. Further, at the lower part of the back surface of the back box, two full detection electrodes DE and a continuity detection board CC (see FIG. 65) are provided. The two full detection electrodes DE have an elongated shape, extend parallel to each other and horizontally, and are arranged so as to project forward. The two full detection electrode through holes HS20 of the medal auxiliary tank HS are formed corresponding to the two full detection electrodes DE. When the medal auxiliary tank HS is arranged at the bottom of the back box, the two full detection electrode DBs pass through the corresponding fullness detection electrode through holes HS20 and project toward the inside of the medal auxiliary tank HS.

As the medals are stored in the medal auxiliary tank HS, the uppermost portion UL of the stored game medals (see FIG. 69 (c)) gradually rises and approaches the two full detection electrodes DE. Note that FIG. 69 (c) is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which game medals are stored in the medal auxiliary tank HS. The line of the uppermost portion UL shown in FIG. 69 (c) is a line connecting the contours of the game medals located in the uppermost portion UL among the game medals stored in the medal auxiliary tank HS (for example, an envelope line). (For convenience, the top UL is illustrated with a smooth curve). When the game medals stored in the medal auxiliary tank HS come into contact with the two full detection electrodes DE and the two full detection electrodes DE conduct with each other through the plurality of medals, between the two full detection electrodes DE. An electrical circuit is formed. Due to the formation of the electric circuit, the continuity detection board CC outputs a signal indicating that the two fullness detection electrodes DE are conducting. By doing so, when the game medals are stored up to the positions of the two full detection electrodes DE, the medal full error can be detected.

The number of full detection electrodes DE is not limited to two, but may be three or more. For example, in the case of providing three, in addition to the two full detection electrodes described above, one full detection electrode is newly provided below the two full detection electrodes, and the newly provided one is provided. It can be configured so that a medal full error can be detected by conducting the fullness detection electrode and any one of the two fullness detection electrodes described above, and by making such a configuration, the medal assist Even when the game medals are not evenly stored in the tank HS (for example, when the game medals are stored unevenly to the right side of the medal auxiliary tank HS), the medal full error can be detected.

<< Material of bis BS and material of medal >>
The material of the screw BS is magnetically conductive and conductive. For example, it is made of steel. Further, the material of the medal cannot be magnetized and is conductive. For example, it is made of brass plated or stainless steel. With this configuration, even if the screw BS falls into the medal auxiliary tank HS, the screw BS can be easily taken out from the medal auxiliary tank HS by using a magnet or the like.

<< Relationship between the total length BL of the screw BS and the distance EL between the two full detection electrodes DE >>
The left side screw BS, the center screw BS and the right side screw BS described above are used to attach the reel unit RU to the pedestal portion BU. FIG. 69B is a front view showing the entire screw BS. As this screw BS, the one having a total length BL in the longitudinal direction (see FIG. 69 (b)) shorter than the distance EL between the two full detection electrodes DE (see FIG. 69 (a)) is used (of the screw BS). Total length BL <distance EL between two full detection electrodes DE). By doing so, even if the bis BS (for example, the right bis BS) falls off and enters the medal auxiliary tank HS, it is shorter than between the full detection electrodes DE, so two bis BSs alone are used. It does not conduct with the fullness detection electrode DE of (the screw BS does not get caught in the two fullness detection electrodes DE). The total length BL of the screw BS is the sum of the thickness (length) of the head and the nominal length. Further, FIG. 69A is a plan view of a back portion of the medal auxiliary tank HS showing a state in which the fullness detection electrode DE protrudes inside the medal auxiliary tank HS.

<< Relationship between the seating surface length HR of the screw BS and the diameter ED of the full detection electrode DE >>
The radial length HR of the seat surface of the bis BS (see FIG. 69 (b)) is shorter than the diameter ED of the full detection electrode DE (see FIG. 69 (a)) (in the radial direction of the seat surface of the bis BS). Length HR <Diameter ED of full detection electrode DE). By doing so, even if the bis BS falls off and enters the medal auxiliary tank HS, the head of the bis BS is not hooked on one of the full detection electrodes DE, and the bis Even when the BS comes into contact with the full detection electrode DE, it can be immediately detached, and the screw BS alone does not accidentally conduct.

In particular, as shown in FIG. 69 (c), one of the two full detection electrodes DE (for example, the full detection electrode DE on the right side of FIG. 69 (c)) is already stored. When in contact with the medal (uppermost portion UL), the other full detection electrode DE (for example, the full detection electrode DE on the left side in FIG. 69 (c)) and the screw BS temporarily come into contact with each other. Even if such a case occurs, the bis BS is not hooked on the full detection electrode DE, and the bis BS can be immediately separated from the full detection electrode DE (see arrow F in FIG. 69 (c)). , The conduction circuit is not formed via the screw BS, and the full state of the medal auxiliary tank HS is not erroneously determined.

As an example, the case where the reel unit RU is an integrated unit that stores all three reels has been described, but even if it is a separate unit that stores each of the three reels separately, the screw BS It is detachably attached to the pedestal portion BU by the reel, and the possibility that the screw BS will come off also arises. Therefore, configurations such as the medal auxiliary tank HS and the screw BS can be similarly adopted.

<< Reel band configuration >>
FIG. 70A is a front view showing the entire reel band MO. FIG. 70B is a perspective view showing a state in which the reel band MO is curved. FIG. 70 (c) is an enlarged front view showing the vicinity of the cut M59 of the reel band MO in an enlarged manner. FIG. 70 (d) is an enlarged front view showing the vicinity of the “white seven” symbol in an enlarged manner. The "white seven" symbol is a bonus symbol, and BB is started when "white seven, white seven, white seven" is stopped and displayed on the effective line. The reel band MO has a long thin plate-like shape (strip shape). As described above, a plurality of symbols are drawn on the reel band MO along the longitudinal direction. The reel band MO is flexible and can be curved. In addition, it has translucency, and the design can be illuminated from the back by the light emitted from the rotating cylinder backlight.

It has a first end M55 and a second end M57 in the longitudinal direction of the reel band MO. The first end M55 and the second end M57 are curved so as to face each other and attached to the reel frame MW to form an annular (cylindrical) reel M50. The reel frame MW is mainly composed of two annular frames of the same size, and the two frames are made of a resin such as plastic to reduce the weight. The two frames are arranged parallel to each other and so that their centers are located on the same axis of rotation. Further, the distance between the two frames is arranged so as to be substantially the same as the width of the reel band MO. The reel M50 can be formed by sticking the reel band MO between the two frames along the outer circumference of the two frames.

<Overlapping part M58 and cut M59>
The reel band MO is formed so that the length of the reel band MO in the longitudinal direction is slightly longer than the length of the entire circumference of the reel frame MW. Therefore, when the reel band MO is attached to the reel frame MW, a portion (overlapping portion M58) where a part of the reel band MO overlaps is generated near the first end portion M55 and the second end portion M57. By doing so, the reel band MO can be attached over the entire circumference of the reel frame MW without creating a gap along the circumferential direction (longitudinal direction of the reel band MO). Further, when the reel band MO is attached to the reel frame MW, a part of the reel band MO overlaps, and a cut M59 is formed by the first end portion M55.

As shown in FIG. 70 (c), the reel band MO is attached to the upper side of the second end portion M57, and the cut M59 is formed by the first end portion M55. When attaching the reel band MO to the reel frame MW in this way, first, when starting to attach the reel band MO, start attaching to the reel frame MW from the second end M57, and then attach the reel frame MW to the reel. While gradually rotating in the same direction as the rotation direction of the M50, the reel band MO is attached from the second end M57 toward the first end M55 along the circumference of the reel frame MW, and finally, the first The reel band MO is pasted on the upper side of the end portion M57 of 2, and the pasting is completed up to the first end portion M55. When the reel band MO is attached in such an order, the first end portion M55 ends to be attached in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the reel M50, and the first end is attached on the reel band MO. The parts M55 are overlapped.

On the other hand, the reel band MO is started to be attached to the reel frame MW from the first end M55, and then the reel band MO is gradually rotated in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the reel M50 while the reel band MO is attached to the first end. Along the circumference of the reel frame MW from M55 to the second end M57, and finally, the reel band MO is pasted on the upper side of the first end M55 and pasted up to the second end M57. It's over. When the reel band MO is attached in such an order, the second end portion M57 ends to be attached in the same direction as the rotation direction of the reel M50, and the second end portion M57 is attached on the reel band MO. M57 is in an overlapping state.

Here, the reel band MO is started to be attached to the reel frame MW from the first end M55, then the second end M57 is attached in the same direction as the rotation direction of the reel M50, and the second end M57 is attached onto the reel band MO. In the case where the ends M57 of 2 are overlapped, when the game is executed and the reel M50 rotates, air comes into contact with the cross section of the second end M57 (the air resistance is large). , Air easily enters between the second end portion M57 and the reel band MO on the lower side thereof, and the reel band MO in the vicinity of the second end portion M57 is gradually peeled off.

On the other hand, the reel band MO is started to be attached to the reel frame MW from the second end M57, and then the first end M55 is attached in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the reel M50, and the reel band MO is attached. In the case where the first end M55 is overlapped on top, when the game is executed and the reel M50 is rotated, the second end M57 is overlapped on the reel band MO described above. It is difficult for air to come into contact with the cross section of the first end M55 (the air resistance is small), and it is difficult for air to enter between the first end M55 and the reel band MO below it. The reel band MO near the first end M55 is in a state where it is difficult to peel off.

From the above, when the reel band MO is attached to the reel frame MW, the reel band MO is started to be attached to the reel frame MW from the second end M57, and then the first end M55 is attached to the reel M50 in the opposite direction to the rotation direction. It is preferable that the sticking is completed in the direction and the first end portion M55 is overlapped on the reel band MO.

<Various errors>
As described above, when the reel band MO is attached to the reel frame MW, the overlapping portion M58 is formed between the first end portion M55 and the second end portion M57, and the first end portion M55 or the second end portion M55 or the second end portion M58 is formed. A cut M59 is formed by any end of the end M57. Since the reel frame MW described above is made of a resin such as plastic, an error may occur during molding. In addition, when assembling the reel frame MW, it may be deformed and an error may occur. Further, since the reel band MO has flexibility, when the reel band MO is attached to the reel frame MW, it can be attached in a state where the reel band MO is distorted or the like, or the size of the reel frame MW ( The outer circumference) may be installed in a state slightly different from the design value. When a large symbol (for example, "white seven") is configured to be located on the lower reel band MO of the overlapping portion M58, the mounting position of the reel band MO is desired due to these various errors. It is also assumed that the upper reel band MO of the superposed portion M58 overlaps the large symbol when the position is deviated from the above position, so that the large symbol is covered by the upper reel band MO.

In addition, the player may aim at the bonus symbol and press the button depending on the game state, and when the bonus symbol is placed near the cut M59, the player may aim at the bonus symbol and press the button. , When the bonus symbol is stopped, the cut M59 may also be visually recognized when the bonus symbol is visually recognized. When various errors as described above occur, it is assumed that not only the symbol but also the deviation of the cut M59 and the deviation of the position of the symbol are visually recognized by the player. When the bonus symbol is stopped and displayed as a symbol combination, the player will pay attention to the bonus symbol with joy because it is a symbol combination that is highly profitable for the player. In that case, the deviation of the cut M59 or the symbol If you visually recognize the deviation of the position of, there is a possibility that the joy of stopping and displaying the symbol combination as a bonus symbol will decrease.

<For bonus symbols>
In order to prevent such a situation, a symbol smaller than the largest symbol such as a bonus symbol is arranged at the position closest to the cut M59. Specifically, when the length in the longitudinal direction of the symbol (bonus symbol, etc.) having the longest length in the longitudinal direction (longitudinal direction of the reel band MO) is LL, the length in the longitudinal direction is longer than LL. A short symbol (longitudinal length SL) is placed closest to both the first end M55 and the second end M57.

In this way, by arranging the symbols having a short length in the longitudinal direction at the positions closest to the first end portion M55 and the second end portion M57, even if various errors occur, these The symbol can be arranged at a position separated from the overlapping portion M58 (cut M59), and it is possible to prevent the symbol from being covered by the reel band MO. Further, even when the above-mentioned various errors occur, it is possible to prevent the player from visually recognizing the deviation of the cut M59 or the deviation of the position of the symbol. In the figure, the length in the longitudinal direction of the bell symbol (the symbol that can form the symbol combination corresponding to the bell) and the length in the longitudinal direction of the cherry symbol (the symbol that can form the symbol combination corresponding to the cherry) are defined. Although it is shown as the same SL, if it is shorter than LL, which is the longitudinal length of the bonus symbol (white seven), the longitudinal length of the bell symbol and the longitudinal length of the cherry symbol are different. There is no problem. Further, the symbols arranged in the vicinity of the cut M59 are not limited to the bell symbol and the cherry symbol, and may not be bonus symbols. For example, a re-game symbol (a symbol that can form a symbol combination corresponding to the re-game). Or watermelon symbol (a symbol that can form a symbol combination corresponding to watermelon) may be arranged in the vicinity of the cut M59. Further, in this example, the longitudinal length of the bonus symbol (white seven) is compared with the longitudinal length of the symbol (for example, the bell symbol) located near the cut M59, but the present invention is not limited to this. , The length of the bonus symbol (white seven) in the lateral direction may be longer than the length of the symbol (for example, the bell symbol) located near the cut M59 in the lateral direction.

In the above-mentioned example, the length in the longitudinal direction of the symbol having the longest length in the longitudinal direction (bonus symbol, etc.) is LL, and the length in the longitudinal direction is shorter than LL. The arrangement of the symbols was decided by comparison, but the length in the lateral direction (direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the reel band MO) is LT, and the length in the lateral direction is shorter than LT. The arrangement of the symbols may be determined by comparison with the length ST in the direction.

The lengths LL and SL in the longitudinal direction described above are the lengths of the difference between the portion of the symbol that protrudes most upward and the portion of the symbol that protrudes most downward along the longitudinal direction. Similarly, the lengths LT and ST in the lateral direction are the lengths of the difference between the portion of the symbol that protrudes most upward and the portion of the symbol that protrudes most downward along the lateral direction.

<In the case of a small role pattern>
Furthermore, in addition to bonus symbols, symbols such as watermelon symbols and cherry symbols that do not stop and display on the effective line depending on the operation timing of the stop button even if they are won, in other words, are arranged at a distance of more than the maximum number of slip frames A symbol that has at least one place (sometimes referred to as a symbol corresponding to a rare role, a symbol that may be missed, etc.) is also a symbol to be pressed, and a symbol that the player wants to see. Is. In addition, in a game in which a rare role is won, the winning of the rare role may not be notified before the stop button is operated, and even in such a case, the player wants to win the rare role, so it is the rarest. In many cases, the stop button is operated at the operation timing (operation mode) of the stop button, which is easy to obtain a role (which is most profitable for the player). In addition, there are some game machines that have a large number of winning combinations, such as one that is paid out when a prize is won, and in such a case, the operation timing (operation) of the stop button that is most profitable for the player. The stop button is often operated in the mode). It should be noted that operating the stop button at the operation timing (operation mode) of the stop button, which is the most profitable for the player, may be referred to as an optimum game method.

Here, with reference to FIG. 71, an example of the relationship with the cut M59 when the game is executed by the optimum game method will be described in detail below. In the gaming machine illustrated in FIG. 71, the effective lines are the left reel upper stage, the middle reel upper stage, the right reel upper stage (upper stage straight line), the left reel middle stage, the middle reel middle stage, and the right reel middle stage (middle stage straight line). Left reel lower stage, middle reel lower stage, right reel lower stage (lower straight line), left reel upper stage, middle reel middle stage, right reel lower stage (right downward straight line), left reel lower stage, middle reel middle stage, right reel upper stage (right upward straight line) ) And 5 lines, and the specified number is 3 sheets. In addition, it has a watermelon role and a cherry role as rare roles, and when the watermelon role wins, "watermelon, watermelon, watermelon" stops and displays in a straight line on the effective line, and when the cherry role wins. Is configured so that "cherry, any, any" (any indicates that any symbol may be used) is stopped and displayed in a straight line on the effective line. Further, since both the watermelon symbol and the cherry symbol are rare roles, the symbol has at least one location separated by the maximum number of slip frames or more.

FIG. 71 is an enlarged front view showing a part of the reel band MO in an enlarged manner. In the figure, only the left reel is illustrated. In the example shown in FIG. 71, watermelon, bell, replay, BAR, and cherry are arranged in this order on the reel band MO, and these symbols are located at positions away from the first end M55 and the second end M57. Is located in. When a rare role is won, the player often operates the stop button aiming at a position on the reel where it is easy to detect the winning of the rare role and it is easy to win the rare role. When a certain watermelon role or cherry role is won, the rare role can be won by playing with the above-mentioned optimum game method. Specifically, as the operation timing of the stop button that can win the rare role, it stops between three frames from the timing when the cherry symbol is located in the upper row to the timing when the cherry symbol is located in the lower row. By operating the button, you can win a prize regardless of whether you win the role of watermelon or the role of cherry. When the stop button is operated at such an operation timing (optimal game method), the range of 9 frames from the upper row of the cherry symbol to the lower row of the watermelon symbol is the range in which the stop display can be performed, which is shown in the figure. As described above, even when any range of the nine frames is stopped and displayed (in any of the nine stop display modes), the position away from the first end M55 and the second end M57. (There is no cut M59 near the symbol placed two frames above the watermelon, and there is no cut M59 near the symbol placed two frames below the cherry), and the deviation of the cut M59. It is possible to prevent the player from visually recognizing the deviation of the position of the pattern or the symbol.

As shown in the figure, a symbol that can be stopped and displayed when the stop button is operated aiming at a position on the reel where the rare combination is easily won is displayed in the vicinity of the first end portion M55 and the second end portion M57. The first end portion M55 and the second end portion M57 can be configured not to be positioned at the position where the stop is frequently displayed on the reel, so that the position of the cut M59 and the position of the symbol can be prevented. Even when the reels are misaligned, the misalignment of the cut M59 and the misalignment of the symbol position can be made difficult for the player to see.

In this example, the number of steps for one lap of the reel is 336 steps, and the number of symbols arranged on one reel is 20 symbols (20 frames). Here, since 336/20 = 16 remainder 16, there are 16 17-step frames (designs) and 4 16-step frames (designs) as the distribution of 20 frames (designs). The reel is configured. Further, since it is preferable that the cut M59 is configured so as not to be visually recognized by the player as much as possible, the frame (design) adjacent to the cut M59 should have 16 steps with a relatively small number of steps. Is preferable.

As the configuration of the rotating cylinder type game machine in this example, it is not necessary to insert and pay out the actual game medals used in the general rotating cylinder type game machine, and a pseudo game medium converted into data is used. It may be configured so that the game can proceed. In addition, in such a configuration, the effect of preventing unauthorized access to the inside of the rotating cylinder type game machine can be improved by the amount that it is not necessary to insert and pay out the actual game medal (for example, the insertion opening of the game medal). It does not have a payout opening, the front door and the back box are integrated, etc. to block the gap where foreign matter is inserted), reduce the risk of illegal game medals being used, It can be configured to improve the security against fraudulent acts (so-called goto acts) such as (sometimes referred to as an enclosed type rotating game machine). It should be added that the configuration of the enclosed type rotating game machine can be applied to any of the above-described embodiments (or configurations). The credit and the credit number display device D200 may not be provided. For example, the credit and the total score (total score) are combined into one total score, and the main control board M and the payout control are used. The total score may be increased / decreased or displayed on the board H (also referred to as a game value control board or game value control means) or another board.

In addition, it corresponds to a substantive game medal used in a general rotating body type game machine, and has a "score" as a pseudo game medium used for playing a game in an enclosed type rotating body type game machine. It may be configured. In addition, "score" may be referred to as "score information", "points", "point information", "game value", and "game value information". Physically existing and substantive game medals can be directly picked up and handled by the player. On the other hand, in the enclosed type rotating game machine, the player can proceed with the game without directly handling the actual game medal. The score is not a real game medal, but a pseudo game medium that is converted into data so that a CPU such as a main control board can perform arithmetic processing. Further, the "credit" is a score for temporarily storing the score in a betable state or a settlementable state, and is data mainly managed by the main control board M. Further, the "total score" is all the scores that can be input to the enclosed type rotating game machine, and may be data managed by the main control board or the payout control board. The "total score" corresponds to the number of game medals placed on the medal tray of a general rotating game machine that uses a substantive game medal. When the configuration of the enclosed type rotating game machine is applied to the above-described embodiment, what is referred to as a "game medal" in the present specification is referred to as "score", "score information", and "score information". There is no problem in treating it as "points", "point information", "game value", "game value information", etc., and as appropriate, "score", "score information", "points", "point information" , There is no problem in calling it as "game value" or "game value information". It is not necessary to have "credit". Further, there is no problem in replacing the credit number display device with the total score display device.

(Second Embodiment)
In addition, in this embodiment, it is configured to have an AT in-progress state or the like as a state related to AT which is advantageous to the player, and in the AT in-progress state (so-called AT), the push order navigation is executed to be advantageous to the player. However, the configuration of the gaming machine capable of executing the AT is not limited to the configuration of the present embodiment, although the fun of the game has been improved. Therefore, the configuration of the rotating cylinder type game machine capable of executing an AT different from the configuration of the present embodiment will be set as the second embodiment, and only the differences from the present embodiment will be described in detail below.

First, FIG. 72 is a flowchart of the game progress control process (third sheet) according to the subroutine of step 1200 of FIG. 16 in the second embodiment. The difference from the present embodiment in the figure is step 4100 (second) and step 4200 (second), that is, after executing the above-mentioned conditional device number management process in step 1450, step 4100 (first). In 2), the CPU MC of the main control board M executes the freeze execution determination process at the start of rotation, which will be described later, and proceeds to step 1550.

Further, in step 1750, after executing the above-mentioned AT in-state start control process, in step 4200 (second), the CPU MC of the main control board M executes the stop freeze execution determination process described later, and in step 3500. Transition. Details will be described later, but in the second embodiment, the reel freezes when the reel starts rotating (when the start lever D50 is operated) and when the reel is stopped (when the final reel is stopped and when the third reel is stopped). (The reel does not start rotating for a predetermined time, and the betting operation related to the next game cannot be executed for a predetermined time) is configured to occur.

Next, FIG. 73 is a flowchart of the freeze execution determination process at the start of rotation according to the subroutine of step 4100 (second) of FIG. 72 in the second embodiment. First, in step 4102, the CPU MC of the main control board M determines whether or not the state related to AT is newly changed to the "AT in progress state" from the game. Here, "newly in AT state" is a case where the state related to AT becomes "AT in progress state" for the first time after winning the AT lottery (sometimes referred to as AT first hit). As an example, (1) Win a BB in the "high probability state" → shift to the "advantageous BB internal medium state" → stop and display the BB symbol (bonus symbol) and shift to the "advantageous BB state" → BB After finishing, it shifts to the "AT in progress state", (2) If the cherry is won in the "high probability state", the AT lottery is won by 1/2, and after winning the AT lottery, the precursor state { It is a state related to AT to give the player a sense of expectation regarding whether or not he has won the AT lottery, and even if he does not win the AT lottery related to the winning of the cherry, it is the same as the "precursor state". In the case of being configured to shift to the effect mode (background effect, etc.), which is a "precursor state", the cherry is won in the "high probability state" and is based on the winning of the cherry. Since the AT lottery was won, the game state transitions to the "precursor state" → The game state transition such as the transition to the "AT in progress state" is newly performed because the predetermined number of games that are the end conditions of the "precursor state" have been executed. It corresponds to "AT in progress". On the other hand, as an example of the case where it does not correspond to "newly in AT state", (1) staying in "AT in progress state" → "AT continuous battle state" because the AT counter value became 0 { Shift to "AT in progress" again (state that may be in a row)} → Shift to "AT in progress" again, (2) Win BB in "AT in progress" → " Transition to "Advantageous BB internal medium state" → BB symbol (bonus symbol) is stopped and displayed, transition to "Advantageous BB state" → BB ends, transitions to "AT in progress" again, etc. The game state transition is "new" It does not correspond to "AT in progress".

Returning to the explanation of the flowchart, in the case of Yes in step 4102, in step 4104, the CPUMC of the main control board M is set to the AT start freeze execution flag (a flag that turns on to execute the freeze at the start of reel rotation). ) Is turned on. Next, in step 4106, the CPUMC of the main control board M is an AT start freeze execution command (a command to the sub control board S side, and when the sub control board S side receives the command, the sub control board S side (The AT start effect will be executed) is set, and the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 1550). Even if No in step 4102, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1550). The freeze illustrated in the figure is just an example, and there is no problem even if it is configured to have various types of freezes (execution conditions and execution time).

Next, FIG. 74 is a flowchart of the reel rotation start preparation process according to the subroutine of step 1550 of FIG. 72 in the second embodiment. The difference from the present embodiment is in steps 1568 (second) to 1574 (second), that is, in step 1568 (second), the CPUMC of the main control board M has the AT start freeze execution flag turned on. It is determined whether or not it is. If Yes in step 1568 (second), the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the AT start freeze execution flag in step 1570 (second). Next, in step 1572 (second), the CPUMC of the main control board M has a freeze execution timer (a decrement timer, which is a freeze execution time executed when a new “AT in progress” state is reached, and “AT”. In the timer for measuring the execution time of the freeze executed when the "medium state" ends, the freeze execution time at the start (in this example, 5 seconds, and the "AT in progress state" is newly set. The execution time of the freeze executed in the case) is set, the timer is started, and the process proceeds to step 1574 (second). Next, in step 1574 (second), the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the timer value of the freeze execution timer has become 0. If Yes in step 1574 (second), the process proceeds to step 1552. On the other hand, if No in step 1574 (second), the process of step 1574 (second) is repeatedly executed until the freeze execution time at the start of the "AT in progress" elapses. In addition, even if No in step 1568 (second), the process proceeds to step 1552.

As described above, in the second embodiment, the freeze (sometimes referred to as the freeze at the start of AT) is executed when the "AT in progress state" is newly started, and the details will be described later. However, while the freeze is being executed, the AT start effect is executed on the sub-control board S side. In this example, the freeze execution time at the start of AT is set to 5 seconds, but there is no problem even if the execution time is changed, and it is preferable to set it according to the execution time of the AT start effect. In this example, the freeze execution time at the end of AT, which will be described later, is 3 seconds, and the freeze execution time at the start of AT is longer than the freeze execution time at the end of AT. Has been done. In this way, by setting the freeze execution time at the start of AT, which will be advantageous to the player in the future, to be relatively longer than the freeze execution time at the end of AT, it is possible to increase the player's motivation to play. It can be an expensive game machine.

Next, FIG. 75 is a flowchart of the stop freeze execution determination process according to the subroutine of step 4200 (second) of FIG. 75 in the second embodiment. First, in step 4202, the CPU MC of the main control board M determines whether or not the AT counter value has newly become 0 in the game. "The AT counter value has newly become 0" is a case where the AT counter value has changed from "1 to 0" in a situation where the AT counter value such as "AT in progress" is being subtracted. The case where the AT counter value is always 0, such as the situation where the state related to AT is "normal game state", is not included.

Returning to the explanation of the flowchart, in the case of Yes in step 4202, the process proceeds to step 4206. On the other hand, if No in step 4202, in step 4204, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the counter value of the number of remaining games in the advantageous section has newly become 0 in the game. "The counter value of the number of games remaining in the advantageous section is newly set to 0" means that the counter value of the number of games remaining in the advantageous section is subtracted in a situation such as "AT in progress". It is not included when the counter value of the number of remaining games in the advantageous section is always 0, such as the case where “1 → 0” is set and the state related to AT is “normal game state”. If Yes in step 4204, the process proceeds to step 4206. Next, in step 4206, the CPUMC of the main control board M has a freeze execution timer (a decrement timer, and the freeze execution time and the “AT in progress” that are executed when a new “AT in progress” is reached are set. The freeze execution time at the end (in this example, 3 seconds, which is 3 seconds, and the freeze executed when the "AT in progress" ends, is set to the timer for measuring the execution time of the freeze executed at the end. Execution time) is set and the timer is started. Next, in step 4208, the CPUMC of the main control board M is an AT end freeze execution command (a command to the sub control board S side, and when the sub control board S side receives the command, the sub control board S side (The AT end effect will be executed) is set, and the process proceeds to step 4210. Next, in step 4210, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the timer value of the freeze execution timer is 0. If Yes in step 4210, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 3500). On the other hand, if No in step 4210, the process of step 4210 is repeatedly executed until the freeze execution time at the end of the "AT in progress" has elapsed. If No in step 4204, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 3500).

Next, FIG. 76 is an image diagram of AT start effect execution in the second embodiment. In the figure, an example of a case where the power cutoff does not occur during the execution of the AT start effect and a case where the power cutoff occurs will be described in detail.

First, in (a) of the figure, the case where the power supply is not cut off during the execution of the AT start effect will be described in detail. First, when the start lever D50 related to the game in which the state related to AT is newly changed to the "AT in progress state" is operated (the game start condition is satisfied), the AT start effect is started and the freeze is executed. Will be done. Further, as an effect mode of the AT start effect, "Warp execution!" Is displayed on the effect display device S40 for 1 second (while the AT start effect is being executed, a background effect dedicated to the execution of the AT start effect is always executed). .. In this example, the AT start effect and the freeze execution time are 5 seconds. After that, one second elapses from the start of the freeze, and the display "Warp executed!" Is erased on the effect display device S40. It should be noted that the state in which only the background effect dedicated to the execution of the AT start effect is displayed on the effect display device S40 is maintained for 3 seconds. After that, when 4 seconds have passed from the start of freeze execution, "AT50G START !!" is displayed for 1 second on the effect display device S40 as an effect mode of the AT start effect. After that, when 5 seconds have passed from the start of the freeze execution, the freeze execution ends, the AT start effect execution ends, and the reel rotation starts. When the execution of the AT start effect is completed, the display of "AT50G START !!" on the effect display device S40 is deleted, and the background effect dedicated to the execution of the AT start effect is displayed in the AT state. It will be switched to a possible background production. In addition, when the push order navigation described above is executed in the first game in the AT state, (1) Freeze starts to be executed → Freeze ends after 5 seconds have passed → Reel starts to rotate and is produced. The push order navigation is displayed on the display device S40, (2) Freeze starts execution → Freeze ends after 5 seconds have passed → Reel starts rotating → Reel drive state becomes reel constant speed state and the effect display device S40 You may configure it to display the push order navigation. With this configuration, even if the reel rotation start timing is later than before due to freeze execution, the player mistakenly operates the stop button corresponding to the push order different from the correct push order. It is possible to prevent the situation where it ends up.

Next, in (b) of the figure, the case where the power supply is cut off during the execution of the AT start effect will be described in detail. First, when the start lever D50 related to the game in which the state related to AT is newly changed to the "AT in progress state" is operated (the game start condition is satisfied), the AT start effect is started and the freeze is executed. Will be done. Further, as an effect mode of the AT start effect, "Warp execution!" Is displayed on the effect display device S40 for 1 second (while the AT start effect is being executed, a background effect dedicated to the execution of the AT start effect is always executed). .. In this example, the execution time of the AT start effect and the freeze is 5 seconds (excluding the time when the power is off). After that, one second elapses from the start of the freeze, and the display "Warp executed!" Is erased on the effect display device S40. It should be noted that the state in which only the background effect dedicated to the execution of the AT start effect is displayed on the effect display device S40 is maintained for 3 seconds. After that, when 2 seconds have passed from the start of freeze execution, the power is cut off (for example, the amusement park is cut off). After that, when the power is restored, "AT50G START !!" is displayed on the effect display device S40 for 3 seconds, and the freeze is still executed. After that, when the total time from the start of freeze execution except when the power is off is 5 seconds, the freeze execution ends, the AT start effect execution ends, and the reel rotation starts. It will be. As described above, in this example, when the power is cut off during the execution of the freeze (during the execution of the AT start effect) and then recovered from the power off, the freeze execution time is from the state before the power off. It will be executed continuously. As an example, when the freeze execution time is 5 seconds and the power is cut off 1 second after the freeze execution starts, the freeze is executed for 4 seconds after the power is restored, and the freeze is executed. If the power is cut off 3 seconds after the start, the freeze will be executed for 2 seconds after the power is restored.

Further, the execution time of the AT start effect is also the same as the execution time of the freeze. If the power is cut off during the execution of the AT start effect and then the power is restored, the execution time of the AT start effect is the power off. It will continue to be executed from the state before the occurrence. On the other hand, the effect mode of the AT start effect differs between the case where the power is cut off during the execution of the AT start effect and the case where the power is not cut off. Specifically, during the execution of the AT start effect. If the power is not cut off, "AT50G START !!" is displayed on the effect display device S40 at the timing when 4 seconds have passed from the start of execution of the AT start effect, while the AT start effect is being executed. When the power is cut off, "AT50G START !!" is displayed on the effect display device S40 after returning from the power off, regardless of the timing of the power off. The display of "AT50G START !!" may be referred to as the number of games displayed at the start of AT. Further, in the figure, as the display of the number of games at the start of AT, it is shown that the number of remaining AT games (at the start of the AT state) at the start of AT is 50 games, but the display mode is The present invention is not limited to this, and for example, when the lottery for adding the number of AT games is enabled to be executed in the "advantageous BB state" executed immediately before the transition to the AT in-progress state, the AT in the "advantageous BB state" Addition of the number of games The number of remaining AT games obtained by winning the lottery is added to the initial number of AT games of 50 games, and the number of remaining AT games is displayed on the effect display device S40 as the number of games at the start of AT. May be good. As an example, when the number of remaining AT games of 30 games is acquired by the lottery for adding the number of AT games in the "advantageous BB state", "AT80G START !!" is displayed as the number of games at the start of AT. You may. In the figure, only the AT start effect is illustrated, but similarly, the effect mode of the AT end effect is the case where the power is cut off during the execution of the AT end effect and the case where the power is cut off. It is configured to be different from the case where it was not (for example, when the power supply is not cut off during the execution of the AT end effect, "AT end GET 〇〇" is displayed 2 seconds after the start of the AT end effect. On the other hand, if the power is cut off during the execution of the AT end effect, "AT end GET 〇〇" is displayed after returning from the power cut, regardless of the timing of the power cut.). Further, if the power is cut off during the execution of the AT start effect or the AT end effect, and the power is cut off during the execution of the AT start effect or the AT end effect, the effect is displayed immediately after the power is turned off. If this is the case, the display is not limited to the number of games displayed at the start of AT, and there is no problem as long as the display allows the game to proceed smoothly by being visible to the player.

With the above configuration, according to the gaming machine according to the second embodiment, the freeze can be executed in the case of newly shifting to the AT in-state state and in the case of ending the AT in-progress state. , The AT start effect is executed during the freeze execution when the state is newly shifted to the AT state, and the AT end effect is executed during the freeze execution when the AT state ends. In the case of such a configuration, if a power failure occurs during the execution of the AT start effect or the AT end effect, it is scheduled to be displayed from a predetermined timing in the AT start effect or the AT end effect after the power supply is restored. By configuring the display to be displayed immediately after the power is turned off and restored, even if an unintended power off (for example, a power failure in the amusement park) occurs during the execution of the freeze, the game such as the number of remaining AT games can be played. By configuring the player to immediately display the information necessary for grasping the situation of the game, it is possible to prevent the situation where the player cannot grasp the situation of the game.

In the second embodiment, the freeze can be executed depending on the case where the AT state is newly entered and the AT state is terminated, but the freeze execution mode is not limited to this. , It may be configured so that it can be executed at the start of BB, the end of BB, etc., or it may be configured so that it can be executed based on the winning condition device and the game state in which the player is staying.

In addition, from the configuration regarding the freeze in the rotating cylinder type game machine according to the above-mentioned example,
Freeze execution period when power is not cut off during freeze execution = A
If a power outage occurs during freeze execution, the freeze execution period until the power outage occurs = B
If the power is cut off during the execution of the freeze, the execution period of the freeze after the power outage = C
If
A = B + C
It is configured to be.

When the freeze related to the AT start effect is completed, the reel acceleration process described above is executed.

Even when the 1-bet lamp D211, the 2-bet lamp D212, and the 3-bet lamp D213 are all lit in a non-bet situation as in the configuration 5, the number of game medals inserted (first piece, By differentiating the combination of turning on / off the start lamp D180, the 2-bet lamp D212, and the 3-bet lamp D213 depending on the 2nd and 3rd sheets), the player can change the current game situation (how many game medals). Is bet).

<< Configuration 6 >>
Next, the configuration 6 in FIG. 82 will be described in detail. The max bet lamp is lit, the 1-bet lamp D211 is off, and the 2-bet lamp D212 is off under the condition that the game medal is not bet on the rotating game machine and the bet is valid. The 3-bet lamp D213 is off, and the start lamp D180 is off. After that, the first game medal is inserted, the max bet lamp remains lit, and the 1-bet lamp D211 lights. After that, the second game medal is inserted, the max bet lamp remains lit, and the 2-bet lamp D212 is lit. After that, the third game medal is inserted, and the start lamp D180 is turned on at the timing when the insertion of the game medal is detected (the timing earlier than the lighting timing of the start lamp D180 and the 3-bet lamp D213 in the configuration 2). The 3-bet lamp D213 lights up. After that, the max bet lamp goes out.

As in configuration 6, a third game medal is inserted and the max bet lamp is turned off after the 3-bet lamp D213 is turned on. In other words, the player presses the max bet button on the 3-bet lamp D213. By configuring the lamps to light up as soon as possible after the operation, the 3-bet lamp D213 can be seamlessly turned on according to the operation of the player, the progress of the game can be smoothed, and the player can be extra. It is possible to prevent a situation in which a game medal is thrown into the bed or a player feels distrust in the performance or behavior of the game machine due to slow operation.

<< Configuration 7 >>
Next, the configuration 7 in FIG. 83 will be described in detail. The max bet lamp is lit, the 1-bet lamp D211 is off, and the 2-bet lamp D212 is off under the condition that the game medal is not bet on the rotating game machine and the bet is valid. The 3-bet lamp D213 is off, and the start lamp D180 is off. After that, the first game medal is inserted, the max bet lamp remains lit, and the 1-bet lamp D211 lights. After that, the start lamp D180 lights up (starts blinking). After that, the second game medal is inserted, the max bet lamp remains lit, and the 2-bet lamp D212 is lit. After that, the third game medal is inserted, the max bet lamp is turned off, and the 3-bet lamp D213 is turned on.

As in configuration 6, after inserting the third game medal, the max bet lamp is turned off and the 3-bet lamp D213 is turned on almost at the same time. In other words, the player maxes the 3-bet lamp D213. By configuring the bet button to light up as soon as possible after operating the bet button, the 3-bet lamp D213 can be seamlessly turned on according to the operation of the player, the progress of the game can be smoothed, and the game can be played. It is possible to prevent a person from inserting an extra game medal or feeling distrust in the performance and behavior of the game machine due to slow operation.

In the above-described configurations 1 to 4, configuration 6 and configuration 7, the max bet lamp is on = the max bet lamp is lit, but the lighting mode is such that the player can recognize that the max bet button is valid. As in the case of the configuration 5, the max bet lamp may be set to be on = the max bet lamp may be blinking. Further, also in the configuration 5, the max bet lamp may be turned on = the max bet lamp may be turned on. Similarly, with respect to the configurations 1 to 6, the start lamp D180 is turned on = the start lamp D180 is lit, but the lighting mode may be such that the player can recognize that the operation of the start lever D50 is effective. , The start lamp D180 may be turned on = the start lamp D180 may be blinking, as in the configuration 7. Further, also in the configuration 7, the start lamp D180 may be turned on = the start lamp D180 may be turned on. Further, the max bet lamp may be configured to be controlled by the sub control board S side or may be controlled by the main control board M side.

<<< Configuration related to operation of payment button >>>
Next, with reference to FIGS. 84 to 87, the operation at the time of operating the settlement button D60 applicable to the rotating cylinder type gaming machine according to this example will be described in detail. The following configuration illustrates a case where three game medals are bet on the game machine and the number of credits displayed on the credit number display device D200 is four. In the figure, it is ON that the Max Bet lamp is lit (or blinking), OFF that the Max Bet lamp is off, ON that the operation of the settlement button is newly detected, and the settlement button. The operation of the checkout button is not detected, the operation of the checkout button is turned off, the 1-bet lamp D211 is turned on, and the 1-bet lamp D211 is turned off. Turn on that the 2-bet lamp D212 is on, turn off that the 2-bet lamp D212 is off, turn on that the 3-bet lamp D213 is on, and turn on that the 3-bet lamp D213 is off. OFF, ON that the start lamp D180 is lit (or blinking), OFF that the start lamp D180 is off, ON that the start lamp D300 is lit (or blinking), ON, the lamp that can be turned on It is shown that turning off the D300 is OFF, and that the credit number display device D200 is subtracted by 1 is subtracted by 1 from OFF → ON → OFF. Further, in the figure, a case where game medals are inserted one by one from the medal insertion slot D170 is illustrated, but as a bet button, one is performed by one operation (off → on), which is different from the max bet button. A 1-bet button that allows betting of game medals or a 2-bet button that allows betting of two game medals by one operation (off → on) may be provided. When such a configuration is provided, a medal insertion slot may be provided. There is no problem even if the same action as the insertion of one game medal into the D170 is applied to the one pressing of the 1-bet button. The configuration illustrated below may be configured so that the game medals stored in the game machine can be settled even while the re-game stop display is displayed, or the game medals are stored in the game machine while the re-game stop display is displayed. It may be configured so that the game medal that is being played cannot be settled. In addition, as a condition for operating the settlement button D60 and paying out the bet game medal from the discharge port D240 (as a condition for determining that the settlement button has been operated), the settlement button has been turned "on → off". It may be "on", it may be "on for 0.5 seconds or more", or it may be turned on.

<< Configuration 1 >>
First, the configuration 1 in FIG. 84 will be described in detail. The max bet lamp is off, the 1-bet lamp D211 is lit, and the 2-bet lamp D212 is lit when three game medals are bet on the rotating game machine and the bet is not valid. The 3-bet lamp D213 is lit, the start lamp D180 is lit, and the insertable lamp D300 is lit. After that, the settlement button D60 is operated once (off → on), and at the timing when the settlement process starts, the 1-bet lamp D211, the 2-bet lamp D212, the 3-bet lamp D213, the start lamp D180, and the insertable lamp D300 are turned on. Along with turning off the lights, the three bet game medals are paid out from the discharge port D240 (payment is started), and then with the credits stored in the game machine displayed on the credit number display device D200. Four game medals are paid out from the discharge port D240. Further, the insertable lamp D300 lights up at the timing when the last game medal to be paid out (the game medal in which the display of the credit number display device D200 changes from 1 to 0) is paid out. In the figure, an example is shown in which the settlement process can be executed by turning the settlement button D60 from off to on in a situation where the operation of the settlement button D60 is valid (during the valid period). The execution mode is not limited to this. For example, in a situation where the operation of the settlement button D60 is valid (during the valid period), the settlement button D60 is turned off → on, and the on is continued for a predetermined time or longer (payment button D60). It may be configured so that the settlement process can be executed when (when) is pressed and held (the same applies to FIGS. 85 to 87).

By configuring the bet game medal to be settled (paid out) before the credit as in the configuration 1, it is confirmed that the credit becomes 0 when the player finishes the game. Even if you leave your seat immediately, you can prevent forgetting to settle the bet game medal. In particular, when the game is ended in a situation where the number of credits is small, such as one or two, there is a relatively high possibility that the player will end the game without obtaining sufficient game medals. The attention of the person may also be distracted. Even in such a case, in order to prevent an unintended disadvantage to the player, the bet game medal is settled (paid out) before the credit, and as such. Therefore, in the configuration 1, in the configuration 1, the 1-bet lamp D211, the 2-bet lamp D212, the 3-bet lamp D213, and the start lamp D180 are before the number of credits displayed on the credit number display device D200 is subtracted. , And the turnable lamp D300 is configured to turn off.

<< Configuration 2 >>
Next, the configuration 2 in FIG. 84 will be described in detail. The max bet lamp is off, the 1-bet lamp D211 is lit, and the 2-bet lamp D212 is lit when three game medals are bet on the rotating game machine and the bet is not valid. The 3-bet lamp D213 is lit, the start lamp D180 is lit, and the insertable lamp D300 is lit. After that, the settlement button D60 is operated once (off → on), the max bet lamp lights up at the timing when the settlement process starts, and the three bet game medals are paid out from the discharge port D240 ( The payout will start). After that, the start lamp D180 is turned off and the turnable lamp D300 is turned off. After that, the 3-bet lamp D213 is turned off. After that, the 2-bet lamp D212 goes out. After that, the 1-bet lamp D211 is turned off and the insertable lamp D300 is turned on. In configuration 2, when it is determined that the settlement button D60 has been operated once, the bet game medal is paid out, but the credit is not paid out, and the bet game medal is 0. It is configured to pay out credits when it is determined that the settlement button D60 has been operated once in a certain situation.

When it is determined that the settlement button D60 has been operated once as in the configuration 2, the bet game medal is paid out, but the credit is not paid out, and the settlement button D60 is operated. By configuring the max bet lamp to turn on before the 1-bet lamp D211, the 2-bet lamp D212, the 3-bet lamp D213, the start lamp D180, and the insertable lamp D300 are turned off, the player mistakenly turns on the settlement button. If you operate, only the bet game medal will be paid out, and the player wants to operate the max bet button again to bet credits, so it is quick to know that the max bet button can be operated. By configuring to notify, the progress of the game can be smoothed.

<< Configuration 3 >>
Next, the configuration 3 in FIG. 85 will be described in detail. The max bet lamp is off, the 1-bet lamp D211 is lit, and the 2-bet lamp D212 is lit when three game medals are bet on the rotating game machine and the bet is not valid.

<<<<< Difference in operation due to power failure timing >>>>>
FIG. 88 is a timing chart illustrating the operation of the main control board M and the sub control board S depending on the timing of power supply to the game machine and power off. FIG. 88 (a) is a timing chart showing the first aspect of the timing of power supply to the game machine and power off, and FIG. 88 (b) is the timing chart of the timing of power supply to the game machine and power off. It is a timing chart which shows 2 aspects.

The first aspect is an aspect in which a power failure occurs after the execution of the main program of the main control board M and the subprogram of the sub-control board S is started. On the other hand, the second aspect is an aspect in which the power is cut off before the execution of the main program of the main control board and the subprogram of the sub-control board is started.

In this example, a power failure is a state in which power supply to the game machine is stopped, a state in which the power switch of the game machine is turned off, a state in which the power cable is disconnected, a state in which the power cable is disconnected, or a power failure. It may be. This includes cases where power supply is unintentionally stopped at the amusement park. The timing when the power supply is cut off is the timing when the power supply to the game machine is stopped, the timing when the power switch of the game machine is turned off, the timing when the power cable is disconnected, and the power cable is broken. It is the timing when the power failure occurred. Further, in this example, "occurrence of power failure" means that the power supply (power supply) to the game machine is cut off, and "detection of power failure" means that the game machine causes power failure. To detect.

In FIGS. 88 (a) and 88 (b), ΔT1 is from the start of power supply until the supply voltage to the main control board M reaches a low level (sometimes referred to as an off level) after a power failure occurs. ΔT2 is the time from the start of power supply until the supply voltage to the main control board M reaches the supply level, and ΔT3 is the time from the timing when the power supply is cut off to the supply voltage to the main control board M. The time until the low level is reached, ΔT4 is the time from when the supply voltage to the main control board M reaches the supply level until the subprogram of the sub-control board S is activated, and ΔT5 is the time until the subprogram of the sub-control board S is activated. This is the time from when the supply voltage to M reaches the supply level until the main program of the main control board M is started. Here, the relationship of ΔT5 <ΔT1, ΔT2 <ΔT3, ΔT5> ΔT3, ΔT4 <ΔT5 is established.

<<< First aspect >>>
<< Changes in power supply status >>
The power supply to the game machine is started at time t1, the power supply is cut off at time t3, and the power supply to the game machine is stopped.

<< Operation of main control board >>
<Power supply voltage supplied from the power supply unit E to the main control board>
As described above, power supply to the game machine is started from time t1. By supplying power to the game machine, the power supply unit E starts supplying power to the main control board from time t1. The power supply voltage supplied from the power supply unit E to the main control board M increases from the off level (time t1) to the supply level (time t2), and becomes constant at the supply level from time t2. Note that the figure illustrates a case where the time from the start of power supply to the main control board until the power supply voltage reaches the supply level is constant, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the main control board is not limited to this. The time from the start of power supply to the time when the power supply voltage reaches the supply level may be configured to vary (randomly). Further, the case where the time from the start of power supply to the sub control board until the power supply voltage reaches the supply level is constant is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the power supply to the sub control board is started. The time from when the power supply voltage reaches the supply level may be configured to vary (randomly). Even in such a configuration, the minimum value (minimum time) of the time from the start of power supply to the main control board until the power supply voltage reaches the supply level is the minimum value (minimum time) of the start of power supply to the sub control board. It is preferable that the power supply voltage is configured to be longer than the maximum value (maximum time) of the time required to reach the supply level.

After that, the power is cut off at time t3. Due to the occurrence of this power failure, the power supply voltage supplied from the power supply unit E to the main control board M gradually decreases from the supply level (time t3) to the maintenance level (time t4), and is omitted from the time t4 at the maintenance level. It becomes constant. The power supply unit E has a backup power supply composed of a capacitor, and even if the power supply is cut off, the power supply unit E has a substantially constant power supply voltage for a certain period of time (time t4 to time t5). (Maintenance level) can be output (power cutoff processing will be executed when the maintenance level voltage is being supplied). In this example, the time to maintain the maintenance level (time from time t4 to time t5) from the start of execution of power off processing (detection of power off) is the time required to execute timer interrupt processing at least 20 times. It is configured to guarantee (time during which the timer interrupt processing (FIG. 32) can be called and executed 20 times). In the figure, the time from time t4 to time t5 is defined as the time for executing the timer interrupt process at least 20 times, but the time from time t3 to time t5, in other words, to the game machine. The time from when the power supply is cut off (power cutoff occurs) until the power cutoff process cannot be executed may be configured to be at least 20 times the timer interrupt process can be executed.

After that, the power supply voltage supplied from the power supply unit E to the main control board M gradually decreases from time t5 and becomes an off level at time t6.

<Starting the main program>
The main program executed on the main control board is started from the time ta when the power supply voltage becomes constant from the time t2 to ΔT5. By executing this main program, the process of the main control board START (power on) shown in FIG. 13 described above is executed.

As described above, when the setting key switch is off in the determination process of step 1014 of FIG. 13, the processes of steps 1016 to 1022, 1036 to 1046 and 1300 are executed, and the process of step 1040 causes a timer interrupt. Is started.

Further, in the determination process of step 1014 of FIG. 13, when the setting key switch is turned on, the processes of steps 1028 to 1034 and 1100 are executed.

<Activation of timer interrupt>
When the setting key switch is off, the timer interrupt is activated by the process of step 1040 in FIG. 13, and when the setting key switch is on, the timer interrupt is activated by the process of step 1104 in FIG. .. After the timer interrupt is activated, the timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 32 is called and executed every predetermined cycle T. The period T at which the timer interrupt is executed is 1.8 msec.

<Detection of power failure>
When a power failure occurs and the voltage drops to a certain level, a power failure detection signal is output from the power supply unit E. The main control board M has an input port into which a power failure detection signal is input. The power-off detection signal is a high-level signal when the power-off has not occurred, and is a low-level signal when the power-off has occurred. The main control board M can determine whether or not a power failure has occurred depending on whether the data read from the input port is a high-level signal or a low-level signal.

In this example, the main control board M detects a power failure in the determination process of step 1604 in FIG. Specifically, the main control board M determines that the power failure has occurred when the data read from the input port is a low-level signal both times in the two consecutive timer interrupt processes.

As described above, in this example, the occurrence of power failure is detected by two consecutive timer interrupt processes. Therefore, when a power failure occurs after the timer interrupt is activated by the process of step 1040 of FIG. 13 or the process of step 1104 of FIG. 14, the occurrence of the power failure can be detected. On the other hand, if the power failure occurs before the timer interrupt is activated, it may not be possible to detect the occurrence of the power failure.

In this way, when the power supply is cut off after the execution of the main program is started and the power supply is cut off after the timer interrupt is activated by the process of step 1040 in FIG. 13 or the process of step 1104 in FIG. , It is possible to detect that a power failure has occurred due to interrupt processing. When it is detected that a power outage has occurred, the power outage processing shown in FIG. 36 can be executed.

<< Operation of sub-control board >>
<Starting a subprogram>
The subprogram executed on the sub-control board S is started from the time tb when ΔT4 elapses from the time t2 when the power supply voltage becomes constant. By executing this subprogram, the sub-program start process shown in FIG. 38 described above is executed. Note that ΔT4 is shorter than ΔT5 described above, and by activating the sub-control board S before the main control board M, the sub-control board S does not miss the command transmitted from the main control board M. Can be received. In the figure, the timing at which the power supply voltage reaches the supply level after starting the power supply to the main control board M and the timing at which the power supply voltage reaches the supply level after starting the power supply to the sub control board S. Is shown at the same time tb, but the time from the start of power supply to the main control board M until the power supply voltage reaches the supply level and the power supply voltage after the start of power supply to the sub control board S It may be configured so that the time required to reach the supply level is different, and even in such a configuration, from the start of supplying power to the main control board M until the main program of the main control board M is started. It is preferable that the time is set to be longer than the time from the start of supplying power to the sub-control board S to the start of the subprogram of the sub-control board S, and the power supply voltage on the main control board M side is increased. The time from when the supply level is reached until the main program of the main control board M is started is from when the power supply voltage on the sub control board S side reaches the supply level until the subprogram of the sub control board S is started. It is preferable to configure the configuration for a longer time than the time.

<<< Second aspect >>>
FIG. 88B is a timing chart showing a second aspect of timing of power supply to the game machine and power off. The second aspect is an aspect in which the power is cut off before the execution of the main program executed on the main control board M is started. That is, the power supply is cut off before the time t2 to ΔT5 when the power supply voltage supplied from the power supply unit E to the sub-control board S reaches the supply level.

As described above, in the second aspect, the power is cut off before the execution of the main program is started (before the timer interrupt is activated), so that the power is cut off by the main program. This cannot be detected, and the game machine is stopped due to the power failure (the supply voltage reaches a low level) without executing the power off processing shown in FIG. 36.

<< Operation of main control board >>
<Power supply voltage supplied from the power supply unit E to the main control board>
Power supply to the game machine is started from time t1. By supplying power to the game machine, the power supply unit E starts supplying power to the main control board M from time t1. The power supply voltage supplied from the power supply unit E to the main control board M increases from the off level (time t1) to the supply level (time t2), and becomes constant at the supply level from time t2.

After that, the power is cut off at time t13. Due to the occurrence of this power failure, the power supply voltage supplied from the power supply unit E to the main control board M gradually decreases from the supply level (time t13) to the maintenance level (time t14), and is omitted from the time t14 at the maintenance level. It becomes constant. After that, the power supply voltage supplied from the power supply unit E to the main control board M gradually decreases from time t15 and becomes an off level at time t16. For convenience of explanation, the maintenance level is almost constant, but in reality, the voltage level continues to decrease gradually from the occurrence of power failure, and falls below the voltage level at which operation can be guaranteed (operation guaranteed voltage level), and then. The voltage level becomes 0. That is, in reality, it is designed so that 20 interrupts or more occur from the detection of power failure to the time when the voltage level falls below the guaranteed operation voltage level. It should be noted that it may be designed so that 20 interrupts or more occur from the occurrence of the power failure to the time when the voltage level falls below the guaranteed operation voltage level.

As described above, in the second aspect, the execution of the main program is started after the power is cut off, but the timer interrupt is activated by the process of step 1040 of FIG. 13 and the process of step 1104 of FIG. The power supply voltage supplied from the power supply unit E to the main control board M is configured to be off-level before this. If the power is cut off at the timing immediately before the main program starts (for example, the timing when the main program starts when the time for one timer interrupt process elapses), the timer interrupt process can be started and the power is turned off. The process can be executed without any problem.

Although the first aspect and the second aspect are illustrated in the figure, the configuration applicable to the gaming machine according to this example is as an example.
(1) Immediately after the power supply to the main control board M is started (for example, after the time elapses after the time to execute the timer interrupt process once after the power supply to the main control board M is started), the power supply is cut off → the main program is executed. The power supply voltage supplied from the power supply unit E to the main control board M becomes the off level before the start (the execution of the main program is not started).
(2) Start supplying power to the main control board M → Immediately after the power supply voltage supplied from the power supply unit E to the main control board M reaches the supply level (for example, the power supply voltage supplied to the main control board M is the supply level). The power supply is cut off after the time has elapsed since the timer interrupt processing is executed once. → The power supply voltage supplied from the power supply unit E to the main control board M is turned off before the execution of the main program is started. Become a level (the execution of the main program will not start)
It may be configured as described above.

<<< Relationship between the state of the setting key switch and the power supply state >>>
FIG. 89A is a table showing the relationship between the state of the setting key switch in the first aspect, the power supply state, and the situation, and FIG. 89B is a state of the setting key switch in the second aspect. It is a table showing the relationship between the power supply state and the situation.

<< Relationship between the state of the setting key switch and the power supply state in the first aspect >>
<State 1>
First, in the state 1 of FIG. 89 (a), the game machine is in a normal state, that is, a state in which the game is being executed or a state in which the game can be executed, and the setting key switch is “off”. The "power supply status" is "on".

<State 2>
In the state 2, the power is cut off while the setting key switch remains "off", and the "power supply state" becomes "off". At this time, the power off processing of FIG. 36 is executed, and the address of the processing to be executed next in the normal state is saved in the storage area as the return address.

<State 3>
In the state 3, the setting key switch is operated to switch to "on" while the "power supply state" remains "off".

<State 4>
Next, in the state 4, the "power supply state" is switched to "on" by supplying power while the setting key switch is "on". When the "power supply state" becomes "on", the main control board START (power on) process of FIG. 13 is executed. As described above, in the first aspect, the power supply is cut off after the execution of the main program is started, and the main mode of FIG. 13 is before the power outage occurs (next state 5). The control board START (power on) process can be executed.

In the determination process of step 1014 of FIG. 13 described above, the setting key switch is determined to be on, the process of steps 1028 to 1034 is executed, and the setting change device control process is called and executed in step 1100. , Shifts from the normal state to the setting change mode. In this setting change device control process, the storage area is initialized by the process of step 1102 shown in FIG. In this way, when the setting key switch is "on" and the "power supply state" is "on", the mode shifts to the setting change mode, and then the setting change switch and the start lever are operated. This makes it possible to change the set value. Further, by the process of step 1622 in FIG. 32, the setting change start command is transmitted to the sub-control board S, so that it is possible to notify that the sub-control board S is in the setting change mode.

<State 5>
Next, in the setting change mode, when the power is cut off while the setting change device control process is being executed, the "power supply state" changes to "off". When the power is cut off, the power off processing in FIG. 36 is called and executed, and the processing to be executed next in the setting change device control processing (setting change mode) by the processing in step 1902 is the return address. Is stored in the storage area as.

<State 6>
In the state 6, the setting key switch is operated and the setting key switch is switched to "off" while the "power supply state" remains "off".

<State 7>
In the state 7, power is supplied in the state where the setting key switch is “off”, and the “power supply state” is switched to “on”. When the "power supply state" becomes "on", the main control board START (power on) process of FIG. 13 is executed. In the determination process of step 1014 of FIG. 13, the setting key switch is determined to be “off”, and the process of step 1022 is executed. By the process of step 1022, the return address saved in the storage area in the state 5 is restored, and the execution is started from the process of the return address. As described above, the return address saved in the storage area in the state 5 is the address of the process to be executed next in the setting change device control process, and by returning, the process of the setting change device control process is immediately executed. Will be done. As described above, in the first aspect, the power supply is turned off in the normal state, and the setting change mode is entered by turning on the setting key switch and turning on the power supply in the situation where the power supply is off. This is the basic operation when shifting to the setting change mode, but even if the power supply is turned off during the setting change mode, the setting key switch is turned off, and then the power supply is turned on. Since the setting change mode is stored as the return address, it is configured to be in the setting change mode. With this configuration, even if a power outage occurs during the setting change mode (for example, a power failure occurs in the amusement park), it is possible to return to the state before the power outage occurred, and the game machine becomes abnormal. It is possible to make it difficult for such an operation to occur.

<< Relationship between the state of the setting key switch and the power supply state in the second aspect >>
<State 1>
In the state 1 of FIG. 89 (b), similarly to the first aspect, the game machine is in a normal state, that is, a state in which the game is being executed or a state in which the game can be executed, and the setting key switch is ". It is "off" and the "power supply status" is "on".

<State 2>
In the second state as well, as in the first aspect, the power supply is cut off while the setting key switch remains “off”, and the “power supply state” becomes “off”. At this time, the power off processing of FIG. 36 is executed, and the address of the processing to be executed next in the normal state is saved in the storage area as the return address.

<State 3>
In the state 3, the setting key switch is operated to switch to "on" while the "power supply state" remains "off".

<State 4>
In the state 4, power is supplied while the setting key switch is "on", and the "power supply state" is switched to "on".

<State 5>
In the state 5, the power is cut off while the setting key switch is "on", and the "power supply state" is switched to "off". As described above, in the second aspect, the power supply is cut off before the execution of the main program executed on the main control board M is started. Therefore, in the second aspect, the "power supply state" is once "on" (state 4), but immediately after the "power supply state" related to the state 4 is "on" (for example, timer interrupt processing is performed). (After the lapse of time for one execution), the "power supply state" is switched to "off". In other words, the power supply voltage supplied from the power supply unit E to the main control board M is off-level before the main control board START (power on) process of FIG. 13 is executed (or before the timer interrupt is activated). (State 5). Therefore, the setting change device control process is not executed, the return address stored in the storage area is not changed, and the return address saved in the state 2 is stored in the storage area as it is.

<State 6>
Next, in the state 6, the setting key switch is operated and the setting key switch is switched to "off" while the "power supply state" remains "off".

<State 7>
In the state 7, power is supplied in the state where the setting key switch is “off”, and the “power supply state” is switched to “on”. When the "power supply state" becomes "on", the main control board START (power on) process of FIG. 13 is executed. In the determination process of step 1014 of FIG. 13, the setting key switch is determined to be off, and the process of step 1022 is executed. By the process of step 1022, the return address saved in the storage area in the state 2 is restored, and the execution is started from the return address. As described above, the return address saved in the storage area in the state 2 is the address of the process to be executed next in the normal state, and the process to be executed next in the normal state is executed. As described above, in the second aspect, even when the setting key switch is "on" and the "power supply state" is "on", before the main program of the main control board M is executed. When the power supply is turned "off", even if the setting key switch is turned "off" and then the power supply is turned "on", the mode is not changed to the setting change mode. .. With the configuration as in the second aspect, if the power is cut off immediately after the power of the game machine is turned on, if the mode is changed to the setting change mode, an unintended problem may occur in the game machine. , Even if the setting key switch is on, it can be configured not to shift to the setting change mode, and a game machine that is less likely to cause problems can be configured.

<<< Control of medal grant and output control of payout sound >>
As described above, when a small winning combination is won (when the symbol combination corresponding to the small winning combination is stopped and displayed), the player is given the number of medals to be paid out corresponding to the winning small winning combination.

<< Processing of medal award >>
The process of awarding medals includes a process of adding the number of credits and awarding them, and a process of actually paying out the game medals outside the game machine and giving them.

<Addition of credits>
When the current number of credits is less than the maximum number of stored credits (for example, less than 50), the CPUC100 of the main control board M adds the number of credits according to the number of payouts until the number of credits reaches the maximum number of stored credits. This credit number addition process is executed by the arithmetic process of the CPUC100 of the main control board M.

<Game medal payout processing>
When the current number of credits exceeds the maximum number of stored credits, the CPUC100 of the main control board M awards medals by driving the hopper H40 and paying out medals from the medal payout device H. The payout process from the medal payout device H is executed by outputting a drive signal from the main control board M to the hopper H40.

<< Mode of medal award >>
Depending on the current number of credits and the number of medals to be granted, the process shifts from the credit number addition process only, the game medal payout process only, and the credit number addition process to the game medal payout process ( There are three types of modes (execution of both credit number addition processing and medal payout processing).

<Aspect of credit addition processing only>
When the current number of credits is equal to or less than the maximum number of stored credits, the CPUC100 of the main control board M adds the number of credits according to the number of payouts until the number of credits reaches the maximum number of stored credits. If the maximum number of stored cards is not reached even after adding the number of payouts, the process of granting medals is completed only by adding the number of credits.

<Aspects for shifting from credit addition processing to game medal payout processing>
When the current number of credits is equal to or less than the maximum number of stored credits, the CPUC100 of the main control board M adds the number of credits according to the number of payouts until the number of credits reaches the maximum number of stored credits. When the number of credits reaches the maximum number of stored credits, the CPUC100 of the main control board M switches from the processing of adding the number of credits to the processing of paying out game medals. The CPUC100 of the main control board M drives the hopper H40 to pay out the remaining number of game medals obtained by subtracting the credit addition amount from the number of payouts from the medal payout device H. The sum of the added amount of credits and the number of game medals paid out from the medal payout device H is the number of payouts corresponding to the winning small winning combination.

In this way, when shifting from the credit number addition process to the game medal payout process, the CPUC100 of the main control board M switches from the credit addition process to the game medal payout process.

<Aspect only for paying out game medals>
When the current number of credits has already reached the maximum number of stored cards, the CPUC100 of the main control board M outputs a drive signal to the hopper H40 and pays out the game medals for the number of medals to be paid out from the medal payout device H.

<< Specific example >>
For example, as shown in FIG. 90, when the current number of credits is 47 and a player is given a medal with 5 payouts, the CPUC100 of the main control board M first sets the number of credits to 1. Add one by one. Specifically, the CPUC100 of the main control board M increases the number of credits to 48, 49, 50. In the example shown in FIG. 90, the number of credits displayed on the credit display device is 47 → 48 (first sheet (time t1)) → 49 (second sheet (time t2)) → 50 (third sheet (time t2)). It changes with t3)). When the number of credits reaches 50, the maximum number of stored cards (50 cards) is reached, and the number of credits cannot be increased any more.

Next, the CPUC100 of the main control board M switches from the credit addition process to the game medal payout process, outputs a drive signal to the hopper H40, and subtracts 3 credits from the 5 payouts. 2 cards are paid out from the medal payout device H.

In the example shown in FIG. 90, the CPUC100 of the main control board M outputs a drive signal to the hopper H40 at time t4 to start the payout process. The fourth game medal is paid out from time t4 to time t5, and the fifth game medal is paid out from time t6 to time t7. The CPUC100 of the main control board M counts the number of medals paid out from the medal payout device H, detects that the fifth game medal has been paid out at time t7, and ends the payout process. ..

<< Various times >>
<Unit processing time for credit addition processing and unit processing time for game medal payout processing>
In the credit addition process by the CPUC100 of the main control board M, a unit processing time a is required to increase the number of credits from m to the number of credits m + 1. For example, as shown in FIG. 90, it takes time t2-time t1 = a to increase the number of credits from 48 (first card) to 49 (second card), and the number of credits is 49 (second card). It takes time t3-time t2 = a to increase the number of credits from 50 (third card). In the credit addition process, the unit processing time a is substantially constant.

Further, in the process of paying out the game medals from the medal payout device H, a unit processing time c is required from the payout of the nth game medal to the payout of the n + 1th game medal. For example, as shown in FIG. 90, it takes time t6-time t4 = c from the payout of the fourth game medal to the payout of the fifth game medal. In the game medal payout process, the unit processing time c is substantially constant.

One unit processing time a can be defined by the difference in timing between two consecutive addition processes. For example, the unit processing time a is the difference between the timing of the (first sheet) addition process from 47 to 48 (time t1) and the timing of the (second sheet) addition process from 48 to 49 (time t2). Or, it is the difference between the timing (time t2) of the (second) addition process from 48 to 49 and the timing (time t3) of the (third sheet) addition process from 49 to 50.

Further, one unit processing time c can be defined by the difference in the start timing of two consecutive payout processes. For example, the unit processing time c is the difference between the start timing of the processing of the fifth sheet (time t6) and the start timing of the addition processing of the fourth sheet (time t4). In this way, the unit processing times a and c may be specified so as to have a constant cycle. In all of the following provisions and the configuration shown in FIG. 90, the game medals are sufficiently stored in the medal payout device H, and the game medals are placed in all the grooves of the disc D50. The case of paying out a game medal is illustrated.

The timing of starting the payout process such as t4 and t6 is
(1) When t4 is paid out of the fourth game medal, the first payout sensor H1 is turned on → off, and when t6 is paid out of the fifth game medal, the first payout sensor H1 is turned on → off. To be the timing
(2) When t4 is paid out of the fourth game medal, the second payout sensor H2 is turned off → on, and when t6 is paid out of the fifth game medal, the second payout sensor H2 is turned off → on. To be the timing
(3) The timing at which the second payout sensor H2 is turned on → off by paying out the fourth game medal with t4, and the second payout sensor H2 is turned on → off by paying out the fifth game medal with t6. To be the timing
(4) When t4 is paid out of the fourth game medal, the first payout sensor H1 is turned off → on, and when t6 is paid out of the fifth game medal, the first payout sensor H1 is turned off → on. To be the timing
(5) When a part of the game medal for which t4 is paid out is paid out to the outside of the disc H50, and a part of the game medal for which t5 is paid out for the fifth piece is paid out to the outside of the disc H50. It will be the timing when it was issued,
(6) When all the game medals for which t4 is paid out for the fourth piece are paid out to the outside of the disc H50, all the game medals for which t5 is paid out for the fifth piece are paid out to the outside of the disc H50. The timing
(7) In the case where the payout process is executed for each payout of one game medal, t4 is set as the start timing of the fourth payout process, and t6 is set as the start timing of the fifth payout process.
It may be configured as described above. The details of the first payout sensor H1 and the second payout sensor H2 will be described later. In addition, since the various time values and timings described above are just design values, some blurring may occur in the situation where the game machine is actually operating, and even in such a case, this example It should be added that the comparison of time values and the comparison of timings described in detail in the above are comparisons of design values. In addition, it should be added that regardless of which of the above configurations is adopted, the comparison of time values described later can be established.

<Switching time from credit addition processing to game medal payout processing e>
As described above, the number of credits is added until the number of credits reaches the maximum number of stored credits, and if all the number of payouts is not given, the process is switched to the game medal payout process. It takes a switching time e for the CPUC100 of the main control board M to switch from the credit number addition process to the game medal payout process.

<< Comparison of time >>

<Unit processing time a and unit processing time c>
The unit processing time a described above is different from the unit processing time c. The unit processing time a is the time determined by the arithmetic processing of the CPUC100 of the main control board M, and the unit processing time c is the time required for the arithmetic processing of the CPUC100 of the main control board M and the time required to drive the medal payout device H. It consists of both. The unit processing time c can be made longer than the unit processing time a. By doing so, it is possible to accurately control the payout including the driving time of the medal payout device H.

As described above, the unit processing time c can be made equal to the unit processing time a by adjusting the time required to drive the medal payout device H. By doing so, the payout process can be expedited.

<Switching time e>
The switching time e is different from the unit processing time a. The switching time e can be made longer than the unit processing time a. By lengthening the switching time e, it is possible to stably switch from the credit number addition process to the game medal payout process, and smoothly switch from the arithmetic process of the CPUC100 of the main control board M to the drive of the hopper H40. ..

Further, the switching time e can be made shorter than the unit processing time a. By shortening the switching time e, it is possible to quickly switch from the credit number addition process to the game medal payout process, and by ending the game medal payout process early, the next game can be started immediately. , The consumption of game medals can be increased, the profit of the game hall can be increased, and the operating efficiency of the game machine can be improved.

In this way, by making the switching time e different from the unit processing time a, when switching to the game medal payout process, the payout is different from a fixed cycle, and the game medal starts to be paid out to the medal tray. Expectations can be given to the game.

The switching time e can be made to match the unit processing time a. When the switching time e is made to match the unit processing time a, medals can be given to the player at a fixed cycle, and the same medals are given in both the credit number addition process and the game medal payout process. It is possible to give a sense of security by showing the player that.

<< Output of game medium addition sound >>
The CPUC100 of the main control board M outputs a payout start command to the sub-control board S when the credit addition process is started (time t1). Upon receiving this payout start command, the sub-control board S starts outputting the game medium imparting sound from the speaker S20.

Further, the CPUC100 of the main control board M outputs a payout end command to the sub-control board S when the payout of the game medals is completed (time t7). The sub-control board S ends the output of the game medium imparted sound from the speaker S20 when it receives the payout end command. As described above, the CPUC100 of the main control board M counts the number of game medals paid out from the medal payout device H, and all of the payout number of game medals corresponding to the winning small wins are given to the player. Determine if it has been granted. When the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines that all of the game medals of the number of payouts corresponding to the winning small wins have been awarded, the CPUC100 of the main control board M ends the output of the payout end command to the sub-control board S and emits the payout end command from the speaker S20. The output of the game medium addition sound is finished. When the game medium-added sound is repeatedly reproduced (output) with a sound having a certain cycle, the game medium-added sound is immediately transmitted at the timing when the sub-control board S side receives the payout end command. The output may be terminated, or the output of the game medium-added sound may be terminated at the timing when the cycle of the game medium-added sound output at the timing when the sub-control board S side receives the payout end command. It may be configured to do so.

The game medium-added sound is a sound output from the speaker S20 by reproducing the unit-assigned sound data at least once. The unit-assigned sound data is stored in advance in the RAM of the sub-control board S. As shown in FIG. 90, the playback time for one unit-assigned sound data is d, and the CPUSC of the sub-control board S reads the unit-assigned sound data from the RAM and receives the payout start command to start the payout end command. The game medium-added sound is output from the speaker S20 by repeatedly playing back the unit-assigned sound data a plurality of times until the data is received.

<First aspect>
The first aspect of the game medium-assigned sound shown in FIG. 90 is a mode in which the unit-assigned sound data is repeatedly reproduced every playback time d from the time when the payout start command is received. By reproducing in this way, the game medium addition sound is output at regular intervals. As described above, even when switching from the credit number addition process to the game medal payout process, the game medium granting sound is output at regular intervals, so that the player does not feel uncomfortable with the payout and the credits It is possible to give a sense of security by showing the player that both the number addition process and the game medal payout process give the same value.

<Second aspect>
Further, in the second aspect of the game medium giving sound shown in FIG. 90, the unit giving sound data is played every playback time d from the time when the payout start command is received, and only the time f is completed after the credit number addition process is completed. This is an embodiment in which the unit-assigned sound data is reproduced, and then, at time t4, the game medal payout process is started and the unit-assigned sound data is reproduced again. When switching to the game medal payout process, the game medium granting sound is output at a timing different from a fixed cycle, so that the game can be given an uplifting feeling and a sense of expectation that the game medal starts to be paid out to the medal tray. ..

If the game medal of the hopper H40 disappears and a hopper error occurs while the game medal is being paid out from the medal payout device H (for example, if it is determined to be Yes in the process of step 1279), the sub The control board S stops the output of the game medium imparting sound, and outputs a sound indicating that a hopper error has occurred. When the game medal is supplied to the hopper H40 and the payout is possible, the main control board M again transmits the payout start command to the sub-control board S, and the sub-control board S starts outputting the game medium imparting sound. .. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to this, and even if a hopper error occurs, the game medium-added sound will be continuously output, but the volume of the game medium-added sound will be the sound indicating that the hopper error has occurred. Output at a volume lower than the volume (volume = 0 may be set), and by canceling the hopper error, the output of the sound indicating that the hopper error has occurred is terminated, and the sound added to the game medium is used. It may be configured to restore the volume.

<<< Arrangement of integrated circuits on the board >>
FIG. 91 is a front view showing the arrangement of various electronic components mounted on the main control board M. FIG. 92 is a side view showing the arrangement of electronic components mounted on the main control board M.

The main control board M has a substantially plate-shaped and rectangular printed circuit board MP. A CPUC100, an IC, a resistor, a connector, and the like are mainly mounted on the front side of the printed circuit board MP, and a circuit pattern mainly made of conductors is formed on the back side of the printed circuit board MP. The main control board M (printed circuit board MP) is composed of two longitudinal end portions ML1 and ML2 parallel to each other and along the longitudinal direction, and two minor end portions MS1 and MS2 parallel to each other and along the lateral direction. It has a rectangular shape.

In this example, the main control board M is mounted so as to stand upright in the housing of the game machine. When the main control board M is erected and mounted, the longitudinal end portions ML1 and ML2 are arranged along the horizontal direction, and the short end portions MS1 and MS2 are arranged along the vertical direction. The longitudinal end ML1 is located on the upper side and the longitudinal end ML2 is located on the lower side. Further, when viewed from the front side of the printed circuit board MP, the short end portion MS1 is located on the left side of the short end portion MS2, and the short end portion MS2 is located on the right side of the short end portion MS1.

Hereinafter, the longitudinal end ML1 side is referred to as the upper side, the longitudinal end ML2 side is referred to as the lower side, the short end MS1 side is referred to as the left side, and the short end MS2 side is referred to as the right side.

<CPUC100>
The CPUC100 has a long shape, the length in the longitudinal direction is CLL, and the length in the lateral direction is CSL. The CPUC 100 has a plurality of pins (not shown), and the plurality of pins are formed so as to project from the main body. When the CPUC 100 is attached to the printed circuit board MP, a plurality of pins form an electrical connection, and different electrical signals flow through the plurality of pins. Therefore, in the work of attaching the CPUC100 to the printed circuit board MP, it is necessary to attach the CPUC100 in an appropriate orientation so that the CPUC100 can perform a desired operation. The first pin (1P shown in FIG. 91) of the CPUC100 is used as a reference pin for arranging the CPUC100. A mark for visually recognizing the first pin (1P) is formed on the main body of the CPUC 100, and a notch (not shown) for visually recognizing the orientation of the CPUC 100 is formed.

In this example, the CPUC 100 is attached to the printed circuit board MP so that the longitudinal direction of the CPUC 100 coincides with (parallel to) the longitudinal direction of the main control board M. In this example, as shown in FIG. 91, by arranging the CPUC100 so that the first pin of the CPUC100 is located on the lower left side, the CPUC100 is arranged so as to be aligned with the orientation of the IC described later. When attaching the CPUC100 to the printed circuit board MP, it is possible to reduce mistakes in attaching the CPUC100 in the wrong direction.

Further, in general, various character information (not shown) such as a model number and a maker name is printed on the main body of the CPUC 100. The character information is printed so as to be separated from the first pin side along the longitudinal direction of the CPUC 100. It is preferable that the character information such as the model number and the manufacturer name can be easily visually recognized while the CPUC 100 is attached to the printed circuit board MP. As described above, by arranging the CPUC100 so that the first pin of the CPUC100 is located on the lower left side, the CPUC100 can be arranged in an direction in which the printed model number, manufacturer name, etc. can be easily visually recognized.

When the CPUC100 is attached to the printed circuit board MP, the pin numbers of the CPUC100 increase in order counterclockwise starting from the first pin (1P) when viewed from the front side of the printed circuit board MP. ..

<IC>
Various ICs (integrated circuits) are also mounted on the front side of the printed circuit board MP. The IC has a long shape, the length in the longitudinal direction is ILL, and the length in the lateral direction is ISL. Like the CPUC100, the IC also has a plurality of pins (not shown), and the plurality of pins are formed so as to project from the main body. When the IC is attached to the printed circuit board MP, a plurality of pins form an electrical connection, and different electrical signals flow through the plurality of pins. Therefore, even in the work of attaching the IC to the printed circuit board MP, it is necessary to attach the IC in an appropriate orientation so that the IC can perform the desired operation. Therefore, the first pin of the IC (1P shown in FIG. 91) is also used as a reference pin for arranging the IC. A mark for visually recognizing the first pin (1P) is formed on the main body of the IC, and a notch (not shown) for visually recognizing the direction of the IC is formed.

In this example, the IC is attached to the printed circuit board MP so that the longitudinal direction of the IC coincides with (parallel to) the longitudinal direction of the CPUC 100 and the longitudinal direction of the main control board M. Further, the IC is arranged on the printed circuit board MP so that the first pin of the IC is located on the lower left side. By arranging the IC so that the first pin of the IC is always located on the lower left side in this way, all the ICs are arranged in the same direction, and the work of attaching the IC to the printed circuit board MP At this time, it is possible to reduce mistakes such as mounting the IC in the wrong direction.

Further, in general, various character information (not shown) such as a model number and a manufacturer's name is printed on the main body of the IC. The character information is printed so as to be separated from the first pin side along the longitudinal direction of the IC. It is preferable that the character information such as the model number and the manufacturer name of the IC can be easily visually recognized while the IC is attached to the printed circuit board MP. As described above, by arranging the IC so that the first pin of the IC is located on the lower left side, the IC is arranged so that the printed model number, manufacturer name, etc. can be easily seen. You can also.

When the IC is attached to the printed circuit board MP, the pin numbers of the IC increase in order from the front side of the printed circuit board MP in the counterclockwise direction starting from the first pin (1P). ..

<Resistance>
Various resistors are also attached to the front side of the printed circuit board MP, and an electrical connection is formed with other electronic components. The IC has a long shape, the length in the longitudinal direction is RLL, and the length in the lateral direction is RSL.

<Connector>
A connector is also attached to the front side of the printed circuit board MP, and an electrical connection is formed with other electronic components. The main control board M is connected to the sub control board S or the like via a connector, and can transmit and receive various signals.

<Interval between CPUC100 and IC>
As shown by the broken line in FIG. 91, only the resistor is arranged and the IC is not arranged inside the predetermined range CSR1 around the CPUC100. The predetermined range CSR1 is a range in which the length of the CPUC 100 from the outer peripheral COR is equal to or less than the predetermined length. Here, the predetermined length can be, for example, at least the length CSL in the lateral direction of the CPUC 100. Various currents (currents that change with time, for example, high-frequency signals) flow through the IC, and the IC can be a source of noise, which may affect the operation of the CPUC 100. In this way, by not arranging the IC inside the predetermined range CSR1 around the CPUC100, the IC is arranged at a position separated from the CPUC100 by a certain distance (for example, the length CSL), and the noise emitted from the IC is generated. , It is possible not to affect the operation of the CPUC100.

Further, the predetermined length of the CPUC 100 from the outer peripheral COR may be at least the length RLL in the longitudinal direction of the resistor. Since a current flows through the resistor, the resistor can be a heat source, which may affect the operation of the CPUC100. Therefore, by not arranging the resistor inside the predetermined range CSR1 around the CPUC100, the resistor is arranged at a position separated from the CPUC100 by a certain distance (for example, length RLL) and emitted from the resistor. The heat generated can be prevented from affecting the operation of the CPUC 100.

<Relationship between the height of CPUC100, the height of IC, and the height of other parts>
FIG. 92 is a side view showing the heights of the various electronic components shown in FIG. 91. As shown in FIG. 92, the height CHT of the CPUC100 is the highest, then the height IHT of the IC is the highest, and the height RHT of the resistance is the lowest. As shown in FIG. 91, only the parts having a height CHT of the CPUC 100 or less are arranged inside the predetermined range CSR2 around the CPUC100. The predetermined range CSR2 is a range in which the length of the CPUC 100 from the outer peripheral COR is equal to or less than the predetermined length. Here, the predetermined length can be, for example, the length RLL in the longitudinal direction of the resistor.

In the work of attaching the CPUC100 to the printed circuit board MP, an attachment tool (not shown) is used. The mounting tool is a tool for mounting the CPUC100 by sandwiching it between the tip portions of the mounting tool and bringing it close to the printed circuit board MP. Since the structure is such that the CPUC 100 is sandwiched by the tip of the mounting tool, the tip of the mounting tool is arranged around the CPUC 100 when the CPUC 100 is sandwiched. Therefore, when mounting the CPUC100, the tip of the mounting tool must also be brought close to the printed circuit board MP, and a space for the tip of the mounting tool is provided so that the tip of the mounting tool does not interfere with other electronic components. It is necessary to secure it.

Therefore, only the parts having a height CHT of the CPUC 100 or less are arranged in the area CSR2 around the position where the CPUC100 is attached to the printed circuit board MP. By doing so, even if the tip of the mounting tool is closest to the printed circuit board MP, the tip of the mounting tool does not interfere with other parts. Region CSR2 is a range in which the length of the CPUC 100 from the outer peripheral COR is equal to or less than a predetermined length. Here, the predetermined length can be, for example, at least the length RLL in the longitudinal direction of the resistor.

Only the parts having a height of less than the height CHT of the CPUC100 are arranged only in the area around the position where the CPUC100 is attached to the printed circuit board MP, and the area around the position where the CPUC100 is attached to the printed circuit board MP in the printed circuit board MP. Outside, parts having a height of CHT or more of CPUC100 may be attached, or all parts attached to the printed circuit board MP may be configured to be parts having a height of CHT of CPUC100 or less.

In this way, by arranging only electronic components lower than the height CHT of the CPUC100 inside the predetermined range CSR2 around the CPUC100, it is possible to secure a space in which the tip of the mounting tool can be approached. Even if the mounting tool is used, the CPUC 100 can be mounted on the printed circuit board MP without damaging other electronic components.

In the above-mentioned example, the main control board M has been described as an example, but all the boards on which electronic components such as CPU and IC are mounted, such as the sub control board S, the door board D, the rotating cylinder board K, and the power supply board E. Can be applied to.

<<< Structure related to AT lottery >>>
Next, with reference to FIG. 93, the configuration of the AT state transition control process applicable to the rotating cylinder type gaming machine according to this example will be described in detail. It should be added that the configuration illustrated in the figure is applicable to all the above-mentioned configurations when the configuration is configured to have an AT.

First, FIG. 93 is a flowchart of the AT state transition control process according to the subroutine of step 1400 of FIG. 18 in the present embodiment. First, in step 1401-1, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the current state related to AT is an AT lottery possible state. In the figure, there are no plurality of gaming states having different probabilities of winning the AT lottery such as a low probability state and a high probability state. For example, one gaming state such as the high probability state in the present embodiment is not provided. It is configured so that the AT lottery can be executed only in. Further, as a difference from the present embodiment, the AT lottery is not executed based on the winning of the BB.

In the case of Yes in step 1401-1, in step 1401-2, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets “2” as the AT lottery type and temporarily stores it in a predetermined RAM area. Here, the AT lottery type is a type provided for reducing the data capacity required for executing the AT lottery to identify the winning probability when the AT lottery is executed. Next, in step 1401-3, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the condition device related to the game has no setting difference (condition device having no setting difference in the lottery probability). In the modified example shown in the figure, the condition devices having no setting difference are watermelon B, cherry, watermelon A, replay (may be all replays, or some replays), It is a push order bell, and in this process, it is determined whether or not the condition device with no setting difference has been won. In addition, although there is a setting difference in the lottery probability of the loss and the common bell (there is a setting difference), in this process, it is configured so as not to determine whether or not the loss or the common bell has been won. ing. It is preferable that the predetermined RAM area for storing the AT lottery type is different from the RAM area for storing the winning number and the effect group number described above. With such a configuration, an area for storing the winning number and an effect group, which is an area in which the information on the condition device having a setting difference in the winning probability and the information on the condition device having no setting difference in the winning probability are stored separately. An area for storing numbers and an area for storing AT lottery types, which is an area in which information about a condition device having a setting difference in winning probability and information about a condition device having no setting difference in winning probability are stored without distinction. Can be configured not to be confused.

In the case of Yes in step 1401-3, in step 1401-4, the CPUMC of the main control board M refers to the AT lottery type table, sets the AT lottery type, and sets the AT lottery type in the predetermined RAM area (in step 1401-2). (The same RAM area as the predetermined RAM area) is temporarily stored (overwritten), and the process proceeds to step 1401-5. In addition, even if No in step 1401-3, the process proceeds to step 1401-5. Here, the AT lottery table in the middle right of the figure will be described in detail. In this modified example, when the condition device with no setting difference is won in the situation where the AT lottery can be executed, when the watermelon B is won, "0" is selected as the AT lottery type, and when the cherry is won. Is "0" as the AT lottery type, "1" as the AT lottery type when the watermelon A is won, "2" as the AT lottery type when the replay is won, and "2" when the push order bell is won. It is configured to set "2" as the AT lottery type.

Next, in step 1401-5, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes the AT lottery based on the set AT lottery type. Here, as shown in the lower right of the figure, the probability of winning the AT lottery is 56/256 when the AT lottery type is "0", and 18 / when the AT lottery type is "1". It is 256, and when the AT lottery type is "2", it is 1/256, and it is "0 → 1 → 2" in order from the one that is easy to win the AT lottery. Next, in step 1401-6, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the AT lottery executed in step 1401-5 has been won. In the case of Yes in step 1401-6, in step 1401-7, the CPU MC of the main control board M sets a predetermined value (for example, 50) as the number of AT initial games in the AT counter. In this modification, unlike the present embodiment, the AT state transition control process is configured to set the AT initial game number in the AT counter, and the AT state start control process sets the AT initial game number. It is configured not to (the number of AT games may be added if the number of AT games is added). Next, in step 1401-8, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines the state related to AT after the next game to "AT in progress state", and shifts to the next process (process in step 1430). In addition, even if No in step 1401-1 or step 1401-6, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1430).

In a conventional game machine, as an AT lottery, a common lottery process that does not refer to a winning combination and a lottery process that is executed when a condition device having no setting difference is won (a lottery process that refers to a winning combination) are performed. When configured to have, it was necessary to execute the AT lottery at least twice, but by providing the AT lottery type as shown in the figure, a common lottery process that does not refer to the winning combination (in the figure, in the figure, The process of step 1401-2 is supported) and the lottery process executed when the condition device having no setting difference is won (in the figure, the process of step 1401-4 is supported). Can be executed in one lottery process (in the figure, the process of steps 1401-6 corresponds to).

In the above, the configuration of a rotating cylinder type game machine has been illustrated as a game machine, but the above configuration is applied to various game models such as pachinko game machines, rock game machines, arrange balls, game machines, and casino machines. it can.

Of the above configurations, the configuration related to the setting of the setting change mode, the setting confirmation mode, the setting key switch, the setting / reset button, etc. (for example, the configuration illustrated in FIG. 59) is also applicable to the pachinko gaming machine having the set value. Applicable.

<<< Configuration related to push order navigation applicable to the game machine according to this example >>>
The gaming machine according to this example is configured to be able to execute push order navigation. Here, the execution mode of the push order navigation applicable to this example will be described in detail below. It should be added that the configuration described in detail below is applicable to all embodiments.

Further, regarding the push order navigation in this example, the following configuration is referred to as a push order navigation.
(1) The display of the operation mode of the stop button advantageous to the player on the push order display device D270 controlled by the main control board M is referred to as push order navigation. As a specific example, by displaying "= 3", it is possible to instruct the pressing order of "middle->left->right". Further, the push order navigation displayed on the push order display device D270 may be referred to as an instruction and instruction display, and a game for executing the push order navigation on the push order display device D270 may be referred to as an instruction game.
(2) Displaying the operation mode (an image suggesting) of the stop button advantageous to the player on the effect display device S40 controlled by the sub-control board S is referred to as push order navigation. As a specific example, by displaying "123", it is possible to instruct (suggest) the pressing order of "left → middle → right".
(3) Outputting a voice suggesting an operation mode of the stop button advantageous to the player from the speaker S20 controlled by the sub-control board S is referred to as push order navigation. As a specific example, it is possible to instruct (suggest) that the left stop button should be operated as the first stop button by outputting "left" when the start lever is operated.
(4) When the reel window frame lamp D310 controlled by the sub-control board S lights up (blinks) so as to suggest an operation mode of the stop button which is advantageous to the player, it is referred to as push order navigation. As a specific example, when the start lever is operated, the reel window frame lamp D310 corresponding to the left reel and the left stop button lights up, instructing (suggestion) that the left stop button should be operated as the first stop button. It is possible.
(5) The stop button lamp S60 provided inside the stop button D40 (left stop button D41, middle stop button D42, right stop button D43) controlled by the main control board M or the sub control board S is a player. Lighting (blinking) so as to suggest an operation mode of the stop button, which is advantageous to the user, is called push-order navigation. As a specific example, when the start lever is operated, the left stop button D41 corresponding to the left reel lights up, so that it is possible to instruct (suggest) that the left stop button should be operated as the first stop button.

In the following, the push order navigation is displayed for the game in which the push order combination (the combination of the push order bell, the push order replay combination, etc., in which the number of payouts and the transition mode of the RT state may differ depending on the push order) is determined as the winning combination. The timing at which is started and the timing at which push order navigation ends will be described. By determining the push order combination as the winning combination in the AT state, it is possible to execute the push order navigation that informs the player of the most advantageous stop button operation mode (reel stop order and stop button operation timing). It is configured as.

<< Configuration related to display start of push order navigation >>
<Execution mode of push order navigation when there is no weight>
First, if there is no weight, in other words, the push order when the game is executed by operating the start lever when the minimum game time has elapsed (the timer value of the game interval minimum time timer M70 is 0). The execution mode of the navigation will be described below.

<Structure 1>
First, the configuration of FIG. 94 will be described. The state related to AT is the AT state (the game state in which the push order navigation is executed when the push order combination is won), and the start lever is operated and the reel rotation starts in the situation where the minimum game time has elapsed. The process is executed and the reel starts rotating (executed in step 1260 of FIG. 18). In the game, if the player has won the predetermined push order bell and the stop operation is performed in the order of "middle->left->right", it is most advantageous to the player (for example, the number of payouts is large). (When winning "Prize-A3") is illustrated.

After that, immediately after executing the rotating cylinder rotation process, "= 3" is displayed as the push order navigation on the push order display device D270. Here, as an example of the push order navigation in the push order display device D270,
"= 1": Indicate the pressing order of "Left → Middle → Right""=2": Indicate the pressing order of "Left → Right → Middle""=3": Indicate the pressing order of "Middle → Left → Right" Instruction "= 4": Instruct the pressing order of "Middle → Right → Left""=5": Instruct the pressing order of "Right → Left → Middle""=6": Instruct the pressing order of "Right → Middle → Left" Is configured as instructed.

The display mode when the push order navigation is executed by the push order display device D270 is not limited to the above-mentioned display mode. For example, the right digit (lower digit) without displaying "=". A number may be displayed only on the right digit, or a display mode other than the number corresponding to the stop button (or reel) may be displayed only on the right digit (lower digit). In addition, the right digit (lower digit) is configured to correspond to the stop button (or reel) to be stopped next time, and the left digit (upper digit) is configured to indicate the push order of the entire game. May be good. In such a configuration, the display mode of the right digit (lower digit) may change for each stop operation of the stop button, while the left digit (upper digit) is the same regardless of the stop operation of the stop button. It becomes a display mode.

After "= 3" is displayed as the push order navigation on the push order display device D270, "123" is displayed as the push order navigation on the effect display device S40. Here, as an example of push order navigation in the effect display device S40,
"123": Instruct the pressing order of "left → middle → right""132": Instruct the pressing order of "left → right → middle""213": instruct the pressing order of "middle → left → right""312"": Instruct the pressing order of"middle->right-> left "" 231 ": Instruct the pressing order of"right->left-> middle "" 321 ": Instruct the pressing order of"right->middle-> left " Has been done.

The display mode when the push order navigation is executed by the effect display device S40 is not limited to the above-mentioned display mode, and may be a display mode other than the arithmetic number, for example, a Chinese numeral. , An image of a character that is not a number, an image of a symbol, or the like may be used. In addition to the display mode corresponding to all the stop buttons, for example, "1--" (press order navigation for notifying that the left stop button should be operated as the first stop) for instructing only the first stop). You may execute the push order navigation like this.

The "display" may mean that all the elements to be displayed have been displayed, or that the elements to be displayed have started to be displayed. For example, displaying "123" on the effect display device S40 may mean that all the "123" are displayed on the effect display device S40, or the display of "123" is started on the effect display device S40 ( It may be that an effect at the start of display has occurred). Similarly, "end of display" may mean that all the elements whose display should be terminated are not displayed, or that a display transition for hiding the elements whose display should be terminated may be started. For example, ending the display of "123" on the effect display device S40 may mean that all "123" is not displayed on the effect display device S40, or one of the displays of "123" on the effect display device S40. It may be assumed that the part has begun to be erased (an effect at the end of the display has occurred, etc.). Similarly, "clearing the display" may mean that all the elements whose display should be erased are not displayed, or that a display transition for hiding the elements whose display should be erased is started. .. For example, erasing the display of "123" on the effect display device S40 may mean that all "123" is not displayed on the effect display device S40, or one of the displays of "123" on the effect display device S40. It may be assumed that the part has begun to be erased (an effect when the display is erased has occurred, etc.). Similarly, to erase the display of "1" on the effect display device S40, the effect display device is operated after the left stop button is operated in a situation where all "123" are displayed on the effect display device S40. It may be that "1" is not displayed in S40, or a part of the display of "1" has begun to be erased by the effect display device S40 (an effect at the time of display erasure has occurred, etc.).

After the push order navigation is displayed on the effect display device S40, the operation of the stop button becomes effective. After the reel rotation starts, the reel driving state changes from the reel acceleration state to the reel constant speed state, so that the operation of the stop button becomes effective. In the instruction game, the player operates the stop button after confirming the push order navigation displayed on the push order display device D270 or the effect display device S40, rather than enabling the stop button as shown in the figure. By making it possible to display the push order navigation in front, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the player operates the stop button before confirming the push order (a situation in which the push order is mistaken).

Further, in FIG. 94, the push order navigation in the push order display device D270 is displayed (display starts) before the push order navigation in the effect display device S40. Here, the display of the push order navigation of the push order display device D270 will be described. When "Winning-A3" is determined as a winning combination, the CPUC100 of the main control board M issues a command related to winning / replay winning information as a control command in step 1622 as a timer interrupt processing on the sub-control board. Send to the S side. The CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes the command processing of step 2250 based on the command related to the winning / replay winning information received from the CPUC100 of the main control board M (as the command processing, push order navigation such as step 2360 is performed). Execute push order navigation display processing for display).

Here, the processing when the push order navigation is displayed on the effect display device S40 controlled on the sub-control board S side will be described in detail. First, after the CPUSC of the sub-control board S receives a command related to winning / replay winning information from the CPUC100 of the main control board M, the command data is saved, the command analysis process is performed, and the sub-main board (in the sub-control board S). The process of transmitting the command related to the display mode of the push order navigation from the effect control board (the board in the sub control board S) is sequentially performed, and the push order navigation is displayed from the reception of the command related to the winning / replay winning information. It takes about 16 ms to transmit the command according to the aspect. Further, the effect control board receives a command related to the display mode of the push order navigation, executes a drawing process when there is no problem in the content of the command, and the drawing process requires about 32 ms. As an example, the command transmitted by the main control board M to the sub control board S side is a command related to winning / replay winning information, but this is just an example and can be used as another command such as a command related to the production group number. It may be appropriately designed according to the execution timing of the desired effect.

Further, when the push order navigation is displayed by the push order display device D270 controlled by the main control board M side, the push order display device D270 is configured to be lit by dynamic lighting, so that the timer interrupt processing is performed. Assuming that the cycle is 2 ms, since the five 7-segment LED units are sequentially lit for each timer interrupt process, it takes a maximum of about 10 ms to complete the lighting. Since it is configured in this way, the push order navigation is displayed after the trigger for displaying the push order navigation (for example, the operation of the start lever) occurs on the push order display device D270 controlled by the main control board M side. Rather than the time until completion, the opportunity to display the push order navigation on the effect display device S40 controlled by the sub control board S side (for example, reception of a command related to winning / replay winning information from the main control board M side) ) Is generated and the push order navigation display is completed for a longer period of time.

Here, a process executed by the CPUC100 of the main control board M will be described in detail as a period during which the display of the push order navigation in this example can be started. The game machine is designed so that the CPUC100 of the main control board M controls peripheral devices and the like to advance the game. The process executed by the CPUC100 of the main control board M in this example will be described only for specific steps in order to simplify the description, but it should be added that this is not the case. For example, when the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines that the start lever D50 has been operated in the determination process of step 1251, the reel rotation start preparation process is executed in step 1550. Then, by determining that the reel rotation start standby state start timing in step 6102 has been reached, it is determined whether the reel acceleration state start timing in step 6106 has been reached. Then, in steps 6108 and 6110, the reel driving state is updated to the reel acceleration state, and the reel rotation starts. Here, the period from step 6102 to step 6108 is a period corresponding to the weight period until the start of reel rotation. For example, from the game start timing (reel rotation start timing) by the game interval minimum time timer M70 as a predetermined condition. It is a period that occurs because the time to be secured (4.1 seconds in this example) is not satisfied by the next game start timing (reel rotation start timing), and is sometimes referred to as the minimum game time. Next, in step 6114, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the reel acceleration state end timing of step 6114 has been reached. Then, the CPUC100 of the main control board M updates the reel drive state to the reel constant speed state in steps 6116 and 6118, performs a process to maintain the reel constant speed state, and then enables the operation of the stop button. The process of making is executed. In this example, any timing within the period in which the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes the above processing, in other words, any time from the time when the start lever operation is executed to the time when the stop button operation becomes effective. It suffices if it is configured so that the push order navigation is displayed (display starts) at the timing of.

As described above, the period from the timing when the start lever D50 is operated to the time when the operation of the stop button becomes effective has been described according to the process executed by the CPUC100 of the main control board M. In this example, the main control board M has been described. According to the process executed by the CPUC100, the start lever operation → the minimum game time has elapsed → the reel rotation start → the reel acceleration state → the reel constant speed state → the operation of the stop button is effective (the operation of the reel stop button is also effective). The period will be specified separately. For example, FIG. 94 illustrates a case where the push order navigation by the push order display device D270 is executed immediately after the rotation start processing is executed, and the push order navigation by the effect display device S40 is executed during the reel acceleration state. There is.

In addition, in FIG. 94, the case where the push order navigation by the effect display device S40 is executed in the reel acceleration state is illustrated, but the main control board M transmits a command to the sub control board S side, and then the sub control board. It means that S executes the drawing process and the push order navigation is displayed during the reel acceleration state, and the configuration related to the display of the push order navigation on the sub control board S side is configured as follows. May be good.

The configuration may be as described above. That is, the time value from when the sub-control board S side receives a predetermined command from the main control board M side to when the drawing process is executed is designed, and the display timing of the push order navigation on the sub-control board S side is determined. Alternatively, the timing at which the main control board M side transmits a predetermined command to the sub control board S side may be designed to determine the display timing of the push order navigation on the sub control board S side.

<Structure 2>
Next, the configuration of FIG. 95 will be described. The state related to AT is the AT state (the game state in which the push order navigation is executed when the push order combination is won), and the start lever is operated and the reel rotation starts in the situation where the minimum game time has elapsed. The process is executed and the reel starts rotating. In the game, if the player has won the predetermined push order bell and the stop operation is performed in the order of "middle->left->right", it is most advantageous to the player (for example, the number of payouts is large). (When winning "Prize-A3") is illustrated.

After that, the operation of the stop button becomes effective, a command is transmitted from the main control board M to the sub control board S side, and "213" is displayed as the push order navigation on the effect display device S40. After "213" is displayed as the push order navigation on the effect display device S40, "= 3" is dynamically displayed as the push order navigation on the push order display device D270. In FIG. 95, the push order navigation of the effect display device S40 is displayed before the push order navigation of the push order display device D270. For example, in FIG. 95, the push order navigation by the effect display device S40 is at the timing after executing the rotation start processing, and the push order navigation by the push order display device D270 is at the timing immediately before the operation of the reel stop button becomes effective. Will be executed.

<Effect 1>
By configuring as shown in FIG. 94 or 95, the start timing of the push order navigation displayed on the push order display device D270 and the effect display device S40 is set for a predetermined period (start lever operation → minimum game time elapses → reel). By determining the rotation start → reel acceleration state → reel constant speed state → period until the operation of the stop button becomes effective), for example, the push order navigation is started on both the push order display device D270 and the effect display device S40. To provide a user-friendly gaming machine that can reliably prevent the situation where the player cannot recognize the push order navigation regardless of which display device is viewed due to the delay in the timing of the reeling, and does not give the player any disadvantage. Can be done.

<Effect 2>
Further, by configuring as shown in FIG. 94 or 95, the start timing of the push order navigation displayed on the push order display device D270 and the start timing of the push order navigation displayed on the effect display device S40 are different. As a result, it is possible to avoid the situation where two display devices must be visually recognized at the same time, and the player can visually recognize the push order navigation on each display device at the timing when the push order navigation occurs. It is possible to provide a user-friendly game machine that can be reduced.

<Structure 3>
When a push order combination (push order bell, push order replay combination, etc.) is determined as a winning combination in the AT state, not only the effect display device S40 but also, for example, FIG. 97, as an effect means for notifying the push order. , As shown in FIG. 98, the pressing order is notified by a lamp (hereinafter, referred to as a reel window frame lamp D310) provided on the middle panel (intermediate decoration panel), a voice output from the speaker S20, or the like. Configuration is also possible. In the configuration 3, when the instruction game is executed, the reel window frame lamp D310 can execute the push order navigation. The reel window frame lamp D310 is provided at a position (near the reel) corresponding to each of the left reel M51, the middle reel M52, and the right reel M53, and is composed of, for example, an LED or the like like the start lamp D180. The lighting of the reel window frame lamp D310, the sound output from the speaker S20, and the like are controlled and managed by the sub-control board S in the same manner as the effect display device S40. That is, when the push order navigation is executed by these effect means, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S steps based on the command received from the CPUC100 of the main control board M, as in the case of the effect display device S40. By executing command processing (here, referred to as reel window frame lamp lighting processing and audio output processing) in 2108 and step 2250, push order navigation can be executed. Since the reel window frame lamp D310 is preferably provided at a position where the player can easily see it, for example, the upper side or the lower side of the reel window D160 (a reel on which the reel can be seen from the player's point of view). It is preferable to provide a space above or below the window D160 so as to correspond to each reel.

Configuration 3 will be described with reference to FIG. 97. The state related to AT is the AT state (the game state in which the push order navigation is executed when the push order combination is won), and the start lever is operated and the reel rotation starts in the situation where the minimum game time has elapsed. The process is executed and the reel starts rotating. In the game, if the player has won the predetermined push order bell and the stop operation is performed in the order of "middle-> left-> right", it is most advantageous to the player (for example, the number of payouts is large). (When winning "Prize-A3") is illustrated.

After that, immediately after the rotation cylinder rotation start process is executed, "= 3" is dynamically lit and displayed (display start) as the push order navigation on the push order display device D270. After "= 3" is displayed as the push order navigation on the push order display device D270, the lamp corresponding to the middle reel (middle stop button) lights up (starts lighting) as the push order navigation by the reel window frame lamp D310. .. After that, "213" is displayed (display starts) as the push order navigation on the effect display device S40. In FIG. 97, the order in which the push order navigation is displayed is "push order display device-> reel window frame lamp-> effect display device", and the display of the push order navigation is started by lighting the reel window frame lamp D310. The timing to be performed is later than that of the push order display device D270 and earlier than that of the effect display device S40.

Here, when the push order navigation is displayed on the effect display device S40 controlled on the sub-control board S side, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S relates to the winning / replay winning information from the CPUC100 of the main control board M. After receiving the command, the command data is saved and the command analysis process is performed in sequence, and then the sub-main board (board in the sub control board S) is pushed to the production control board (board in the sub control board S). The process of transmitting a command related to the display mode and the process of transmitting a command related to the lighting mode of the push order navigation from the sub-main board (board in the sub control board S) to the lamp control board (board in the sub control board S). It takes about 16 ms from the reception of the command related to the winning / replay winning information to the transmission of the command related to the display mode of the push order navigation and the transmission of the command related to the lighting mode of the push order navigation. Further, the effect control board receives a command related to the display mode of the push order navigation, executes a drawing process when there is no problem in the content of the command, and the drawing process requires about 32 ms. On the other hand, the lamp control board receives the command related to the lighting mode of the push order navigation, and immediately executes the lighting process if there is no problem in the content of the command (the lighting process can be executed in a shorter time than the drawing process). Therefore, a command related to winning / replay winning information is transmitted from the main control board M to the sub control board S side, and the sub control board S side receives the command as an opportunity to display the effect display device S40 and the reel window frame lamp D310. When the push order navigation is executed by, the push order navigation display (lighting display) by the reel window frame lamp D310 is executed before the push order navigation display by the effect display device S40. The command transmitted from the main control board M is not limited to the command related to the winning / replay winning information, and may be a command related to the effect group number.

In this way, by configuring the reel window frame lamp D310 to display the push order navigation (lighting display) before the push order navigation display by the effect display device S40, a simple notification is given to the player. It can be executed faster, and it is possible to prevent a situation in which the player operates the stop button before confirming the pressing order (a situation in which the pressing order is mistaken).

The order in which the push order navigation is displayed may be "push order display device-> effect display device-> reel window frame lamp". In such a configuration, the sub-main board may transmit a command related to push-order navigation to the effect control board, and then the sub-main board may send a command related to push-order navigation to the lamp board. Then, a command from the main control board M side that triggers the display of the push order navigation in the effect display device S40 and a command from the main control board M side that triggers the display of the push order navigation in the reel window frame lamp D310. May be a different command.

As described above, the order in which the push order navigation is displayed (display starts) is "push order display device-> reel window frame lamp-> effect display device", but the push order navigation is displayed (display start). The order in which the display starts) is not limited to this. For example, as a modification of the order in which the push order navigation is displayed (display start), "reel window frame lamp-> push order display device-> effect display device", "effect display device-> push order display device-> reel window frame lamp", It may be configured as "reel window frame lamp-> effect display device-> push order display device" and "effect display device-> reel window frame lamp-> push order display device". In such a configuration, after the sub-main board transmits a command related to push order navigation to the lamp board and the effect control board, the main control board M dynamically performs push order navigation on the push order display device D270. It may be configured to display (start displaying) when it is lit, or a command from the main control board M side that triggers the display of the push order navigation on the effect display device S40 and the push order navigation on the reel window frame lamp D310. May be different from the command from the main control board M side that triggers the display of. In this way, depending on the timing of sending commands from the sub-main board and the timing of the main control board M displaying (starting display) the push order navigation with dynamic lighting.
(1) The push order navigation by dynamic lighting on the push order display device D270 is executed first (2) The push order navigation by the reel window frame lamp D310 is executed first (3) The push order by the effect display device S40 It is possible to change the order in which the push order navigation is displayed (display starts), such as executing the navigation first.

<Effect>
In this way, in the situation where the minimum game time has elapsed, the start timing of the push order navigation on the reel window frame lamp D310 is set for a predetermined period (start lever operation → reel rotation start → reel acceleration state → reel constant speed state). → By determining the period until the operation of the stop button becomes effective), for example, even in a game machine that is not equipped with a liquid crystal unit such as the effect display device S40, the push order navigation is turned on by the lamp ( In this example, a user-friendly gaming machine that can be executed by using the reel window frame lamp D310, etc., and is unlikely to cause the player to be unable to recognize the push order navigation (advantageous operation mode of the stop button). Can be provided.

<Structure 4>
Next, as the configuration 4, a configuration for executing the notification of the push order navigation by the voice output from the speaker S20 will be described. Configuration 4 is configured to notify the push order by voice in the instruction game. For example, dialogues such as "left", "middle", and "right" are output as voice from the speaker, and the stop is performed. Execute push order navigation corresponding to the reel to be operated (stop button to be operated).

Configuration 4 will be described with reference to FIG. 98. The state related to AT is the AT state (the game state in which the push order navigation is executed when the push order combination is won), and the start lever is operated and the reel rotation starts in the situation where the minimum game time has elapsed. The process is executed and the reel starts rotating. In the game, if the player has won the predetermined push order bell and the stop operation is performed in the order of "middle-> left-> right", it is most advantageous to the player (for example, the number of payouts is large). (When winning "Prize-A3") is illustrated.

After that, immediately after the rotation cylinder rotation start process is executed, "= 3" is dynamically lit and displayed (display start) as the push order navigation on the push order display device D270. After "= 3" is displayed as the push order navigation on the push order display device D270, the push order navigation that outputs the sound by the speaker S20 is "middle" (the middle stop button is operated as the first stop operation). A voice suggesting that) is output. After that, "213" is displayed (display starts) as the push order navigation on the effect display device S40. In FIG. 98, the order in which the push order navigation is displayed is "push order display device-> voice-> effect display device", and the timing at which the push order navigation notification by voice output is started is the reel window frame. Similar to the lamp D310, the timing is slower than the push order display device D270 and earlier than the effect display device S40.

Here, when the push order navigation is displayed on the effect display device S40 controlled on the sub-control board S side, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S relates to the winning / replay winning information from the CPUC100 of the main control board M. After receiving the command, the command data is saved and the command analysis process is performed in sequence, and then the sub-main board (board in the sub control board S) is pushed to the production control board (board in the sub control board S). The process of transmitting commands related to the display mode and the process of transmitting commands related to the output mode of push order navigation from the sub-main board (board in the sub control board S) to the voice control board (board in the sub control board S). It takes about 16 ms from the reception of the command related to the winning / replay winning information to the transmission of the command related to the display mode of the push order navigation and the transmission of the command related to the output mode of the push order navigation. Further, the effect control board receives a command related to the display mode of the push order navigation, executes a drawing process when there is no problem in the content of the command, and the drawing process requires about 32 ms. On the other hand, the voice control board receives the command related to the output mode of the push order navigation, and immediately executes the voice output process if there is no problem in the command content (the voice output process is executed in a shorter time than the drawing process). Therefore, a command related to winning / replay winning information is transmitted from the main control board M to the sub control board S side, and the sub control board S side receives the command as an opportunity to use the effect display device S40 and the speaker S20. When the push order navigation is executed, the output (audio output) of the push order navigation by the speaker S20 is executed before the display of the push order navigation by the effect display device S40. The command transmitted from the main control board M is not limited to the command related to the winning / replay winning information, and may be a command related to the effect group number.

In this way, by configuring the push order navigation output (voice output) by the speaker S20 to be executed before the push order navigation display by the effect display device S40, a simple notification can be executed to the player faster. In addition to being able to do this, the player can recognize the pressing order by voice even if he / she is not looking at the effect display device S40, and operates the stop button before confirming the pressing order (wrong pressing order). It is possible to prevent the situation).

As described above, the order in which the push order navigation is displayed (display start) is "push order display device-> voice-> effect display device", but the push order navigation is displayed (display start). The order in which they are done is not limited to this. For example, as a modification of the order in which the push order navigation is displayed (display start), it may be configured as "push order display device-> effect display device-> voice". In such a configuration, the sub-main board may transmit a command related to push-order navigation to the effect control board, and then the sub-main board may send a command related to push-order navigation to the voice control board. It is good, and the command from the main control board M side that triggers the display of the push order navigation in the effect display device S40 and the push order navigation in the voice from the speaker S20 are displayed from the main control board M side. The command may be different from the command.

Furthermore, the order in which the push order navigation is displayed (display start) is "voice-> push order display device-> effect display device", "voice-> effect display device-> push order display device", "effect display device->voice->press". It is also possible to configure "sequential display device", "effect display device-> push order display device->voice" and the like. In such a configuration, after the sub-main board transmits a command related to push order navigation to the voice control board and the effect control board, the main control board M performs push order navigation on the push order display device D270. It may be configured to be displayed (display start) by dynamic lighting, or the command from the main control board M side and the push order in the voice from the speaker S20, which triggers the display of the push order navigation in the effect display device S40. The command from the main control board M side, which triggers the navigation to be displayed, may be a different command. In this way, depending on the timing of sending commands from the sub-main board and the timing of the main control board M displaying (starting display) the push order navigation with dynamic lighting.
(1) The push order navigation by dynamic lighting on the push order display device D270 is executed first (2) The push order navigation by voice from the speaker S20 is executed first (3) The push order by the effect display device S40 It is possible to change the order in which the push order navigation is displayed (display starts), such as executing the navigation first.

<Effect>
In this way, in the situation where the minimum game time has passed, the start timing of the push order navigation by voice is set for a predetermined period (start lever operation → reel rotation start → reel acceleration state → reel constant speed state → stop button. By determining the period until the operation becomes effective), for example, even if the game machine is not equipped with a liquid crystal unit such as the effect display device S40, the push order navigation is voiced (in this example, from the speaker S20). It is possible to provide a user-friendly gaming machine that can be executed by using (output voice) or the like, and it is unlikely that the player cannot recognize the push order navigation.

<< Execution mode of push order navigation when there is weight >>
First, if there is a weight, in other words, the start lever is operated in a situation where the minimum game time has not elapsed (the timer value of the game interval minimum time timer M70 is greater than 0), and then the game is executed. The execution mode of the push order navigation in the case of being performed will be described below.

<Structure 1>
First, configuration 1 of FIG. 99 will be described. The start lever is operated when the state related to AT is the AT in-progress state (the game state in which the push order navigation is executed when the push order combination is won) and the minimum game time has not elapsed. In the game, if the player has won the predetermined push order bell and the stop operation is performed in the order of "middle->left->right", it is most advantageous to the player (for example, the number of payouts is large). (When winning "Prize-A3") is illustrated.

First, the start lever D50 is operated in a situation where the minimum game time has not elapsed, and the main control board M detects the operation of the start lever D50 by timer interrupt processing, so that the push order display device D270 is displayed with "=". Execute the process of displaying (starting the display) the push order navigation of "3" with dynamic lighting. After that, during the period before the minimum game time elapses, "213" is displayed (display starts) as the push order navigation on the effect display device S40. In FIG. 99, the push order navigation of the push order display device D270 is displayed before the push order navigation of the effect display device S40.

<Structure 2>
Next, the configuration 2 of FIG. 100 will be described. The start lever is operated when the state related to AT is the AT in-progress state (the game state in which the push order navigation is executed when the push order combination is won) and the minimum game time has not elapsed. In the game, if the player has won the predetermined push order bell and the stop operation is performed in the order of "middle->left->right", it is most advantageous to the player (for example, the number of payouts is large). (When winning "Prize-A3") is illustrated.

When the start lever D50 is operated, the main control board M transmits a command related to the effect group number to the sub control board S side by timer interrupt processing. After receiving the command related to the effect group number from the main control board M, the sub control board S executes a process of displaying (starting display) "213" as the push order navigation on the effect display device S40 (drawing described above). Execute the process). After that, the minimum game time elapses, the reel starts rotating by executing the rotation cylinder rotation start process, and the main control board M is in a constant speed state and the stop button operation becomes effective. Before (immediately before the operation of the stop button becomes effective), the push order display device D270 executes a process of displaying (starting display) "= 3" with dynamic lighting as a push order navigation. In FIG. 100, the push order navigation of the effect display device S40 is displayed before the push order navigation of the push order display device D270. Here, the sub-control board S executes a process of displaying (starting display) "213" as a push order navigation on the effect display device S40 based on the reception of the command related to the effect group number. , The command that triggers the execution of the process of displaying (starting display) the push order navigation on the effect display device S40 is not limited to this, and at the timing of displaying (starting display) the push order navigation on the effect display device S40. The command transmitted from the main control board M, which serves as an opportunity, may be determined accordingly.

<Structure 3>
Next, the configuration 2 of FIG. 101 will be described. The start lever is operated when the state related to AT is the AT in-progress state (the game state in which the push order navigation is executed when the push order combination is won) and the minimum game time has not elapsed. In the game, if the player has won the predetermined push order bell and the stop operation is performed in the order of "middle->left->right", it is most advantageous to the player (for example, the number of payouts is large). (When winning "Prize-A3") is illustrated.

The start lever D50 is operated in a situation where the minimum game time has not elapsed, and the main control board M transmits a command related to the effect group number to the sub control board S side by timer interrupt processing. After receiving the command related to the effect group number from the main control board M, the sub control board S executes a process of displaying (starting display) "213" as the push order navigation on the effect display device S40 (drawing described above). Execute the process). After that, the main control board M dynamically sets "= 3" as the push order navigation on the push order display device D270 at the timing when the minimum game time elapses, the rotation cylinder rotation start process is executed, and the reel starts to rotate. Executes the process of displaying (starting display) when lit. In FIG. 101, when the start lever is operated in a situation where it takes a predetermined time (for example, 10 ms, which is a time value for five timer interrupt processes) or more until the minimum game time elapses, the effect display device The push order navigation of S40 is displayed before the push order navigation of the push order display device D270. In addition, when the start lever is operated in a situation where less than a predetermined time (for example, 10 ms, which is the time value for five timer interrupt processes) remains before the minimum game time elapses, or the minimum game time When the start lever is operated in the situation where the above has elapsed, as described above, an opportunity to display the push order navigation on the push order display device D270 controlled by the main control board M side (for example, the start lever). The opportunity to display the push order navigation on the effect display device S40 controlled by the sub control board S side (for example, the main control board M) rather than the time from the occurrence of the operation) to the completion of the push order navigation display. Since it is configured so that the time from the occurrence of the command related to the winning / re-game winning information from the side) to the completion of the push order navigation display is configured to be longer, the push order display device D270 The push order navigation of is displayed before the push order navigation of the effect display device S40.

As described above, an example of the timing at which the push order navigation is displayed (display start) on the push order display device D270 and the effect display device S40 has been described, but the push order navigation is displayed (display start). The timing is not limited to this. For example, as a modification of the timing at which the push order navigation is displayed (display start) in FIG. 99, the effect display device S40 is used before the push order display device D270 during the period before the minimum game time elapses. During the period before the minimum game time elapses, the push order navigation is displayed (display starts), and the push order display device D270 and the effect display device S40 simultaneously display (display start) the push order navigation. Alternatively, the push order navigation is displayed (display starts) on the push order display device D270 during the period before the minimum game time elapses, and the push order navigation is displayed (displayed) on the effect display device S40 after the minimum game time elapses. The push order navigation is displayed (display starts) on the effect display device S40 during the period before the minimum game time elapses, and the push order navigation is displayed on the push order display device D270 after the minimum game time elapses. May be configured to divide the display (display start) timing of the push order navigation before and after the elapse of the minimum game time, such as displaying (display start).

<Effect>
In this way, the start timing of the push order navigation displayed on the push order display device D270 and the effect display device S40 is set for a predetermined period (start lever operation → period when the minimum game time has not elapsed → reel rotation start → reel acceleration. State → reel constant speed state → period until the operation of the stop button becomes effective). With this configuration, it is possible to make the timing of displaying (display start) the push order navigation different between the push order display device D270 and the effect display device S40. As an effect of differentiating the timing of displaying (starting display) the push order navigation between the push order display device D270 and the effect display device S40,
(1) When the push order navigation on the push order display device D270 is displayed before the push order navigation on the effect display device S40 The start lever is operated, and the main control board M wins the winning combination (here, the push order). The push order navigation can be displayed (display start) on the push order display device D270 by timer interrupt processing (for example, about 2 ms) immediately after the effect group number is determined based on the determination of the bell role. , It is possible to provide a user-friendly game machine that promptly notifies the player of information related to push order navigation.
(2) When the push order navigation in the effect display device S40 is displayed before the push order navigation in the push order display device D270 In the case of a game machine equipped with a liquid crystal unit such as the effect display device S40 Since the information related to the current game state or the winning combination is often configured to be suggested on the effect display device S40, the player advances the game while visually recognizing the effect display device S40. I will go. The size (display area) is larger than that of the push order display device D270, and the effect display device S40, which is easy for the player to see, is configured so that the information related to the push order navigation can be immediately notified to the player. Even if the push order navigation is newly executed while the device S40 is visually recognized, the push order navigation can be confirmed while visually recognizing the effect display device S40, so that another push order navigation is displayed each time the push order navigation is displayed. It is possible to provide a user-friendly game machine that can reduce the game burden of the player without paying attention to the display device.
In addition, it is possible to reliably prevent a situation in which the push order navigation is not recognized by the player regardless of which display device the player sees because the timing of starting the push order navigation is delayed on both the push order display device D270 and the effect display device S40. , It is possible to provide a user-friendly game machine that does not give a disadvantage to the player.

Further, by making the start timing of the push order navigation displayed on the push order display device D270 different from the start timing of the push order navigation displayed on the effect display device S40, the two display devices must be visually recognized at the same time. It is possible to provide a user-friendly gaming machine that can avoid the situation where the push order navigation is not performed and the player can visually recognize the push order navigation on each display device at the timing when the push order navigation occurs, which can reduce the game burden of the player. ..

<Structure 4>
Next, the configuration 4 of FIG. 102 will be described. In the configuration 4, the reel window frame lamp D310 is provided. The start lever is operated when the state related to AT is the AT in-progress state (the game state in which the push order navigation is executed when the push order combination is won) and the minimum game time has not elapsed. In the game, if the player has won the predetermined push order bell and the stop operation is performed in the order of "middle->left->right", it is most advantageous to the player (for example, the number of payouts is large). (When winning "Prize-A3") is illustrated.

The start lever D50 is operated in a situation where the minimum game time has not elapsed, and the main control board M transmits a command related to the effect group number to the sub control board S side by timer interrupt processing. After receiving the command related to the effect group number from the main control board M, the sub control board S lights (starts lighting) the lamp corresponding to the middle reel (middle stop button) as a push order navigation by the reel window frame lamp D310. Execute the process to be performed. After that, the effect display device S40 executes a process of displaying (starting display) "213" as a push order navigation. The timing at which the display of the push order navigation by lighting the reel window frame lamp D310 is started is the timing before the effect display device S40. This is because, as described above, when the sub control board S receives the command related to the effect group number from the main control board M, the reel window frame lamp lighting process in the reel window frame lamp D310 is a push order navigation. This is because it can be executed faster than the process of drawing on the effect display device S40. After that, the minimum game time elapses, the reel rotation start process is executed, the reel starts rotating, and then, before the operation of the stop button becomes effective, the push order display device D270 displays the push order navigation as " = 3 ”is displayed (display starts) with dynamic lighting. In FIG. 102, the order in which the push order navigation is displayed is “reel window frame lamp → effect display device → push order display device”, and the display of the push order navigation is started by lighting the reel window frame lamp D310. The timing to be performed is earlier than the push order display device D270 and earlier than the effect display device S40.

Even in the case of the configuration as illustrated in FIG. 102, the start lever is operated immediately before the end of the period before the minimum game time elapses (for example, about 10 ms remaining until the minimum game time elapses) (for example, the start lever is operated. When the main control board M sends a command related to the effect group number to the sub control board S side), the order in which the push order navigation is displayed is "push order display device-> reel window frame lamp-> effect display device" or. There is a case where "reel window frame lamp-> push order display device-> effect display device". Here, in the case of displaying the push order navigation on the effect display device S40, as described above, after the sub control board S receives the command related to the effect group number from the main control board M, the effect display device S40 is displayed. It takes about 32 ms to display (start displaying) "213" as the push order navigation (until the drawing process is executed), so it is just before the end of the period before the minimum game time elapses ( For example, when the start lever is operated (the main control board M sends a command related to the effect group number to the sub control board S side) when the minimum game time elapses (about 10 ms remaining), the push order display device The push order navigation by the effect display device S40 may be displayed (display start) after the push order navigation is displayed by the D270 or the reel window frame lamp D310.

Further, also in the reel window frame lamp D310, the start lever was operated immediately before the end of the period before the minimum game time elapses (for example, about 10 ms remaining until the minimum game time elapses) (main control board M When the command related to the effect group number is transmitted to the sub control board S side), it takes time for the sub control board S side to receive the command related to the effect group number from the main control board M side. The push order navigation by the reel window frame lamp may be displayed (display starts) after the push order navigation display by the order display device D270.
As described above, the timing at which the push order navigation by the push order display device D270 and the reel window frame lamp D310 is started is as follows: start lever operation → minimum game time elapses → reel rotation start → reel acceleration state → reel constant speed state → As long as the operation of the stop button is valid, the timing for displaying the push order navigation can be set as appropriate.

<Effect>
In this way, by configuring the reel window frame lamp D310 to display the push order navigation (lighting display) before the push order navigation display by the effect display device S40, a simple notification is given to the player. It can be executed faster, and it is possible to prevent a situation in which the player operates the stop button before confirming the pressing order (a situation in which the pressing order is mistaken).

Further, even in a game machine that is not equipped with a liquid crystal unit such as the effect display device S40, the push order navigation can be executed by lighting the lamp (in this example, lighting the reel window frame lamp D310). It is possible to provide a user-friendly game machine in which it is unlikely that the player cannot recognize the push order navigation.

<Structure 5>
Next, the configuration 5 of FIG. 103 will be described. In the configuration 5, the push order navigation is executed by the voice output from the speaker S20 in the instruction game. The start lever is operated when the state related to AT is the AT in-progress state (the game state in which the push order navigation is executed when the push order combination is won) and the minimum game time has not elapsed. In the game, if the player has won the predetermined push order bell and the stop operation is performed in the order of "middle->left->right", it is most advantageous to the player (for example, the number of payouts is large). (When winning "Prize-A3") is illustrated.

By operating the start lever D50, the main control board M transmits a command related to the effect group number to the sub control board S side by timer interrupt processing during the period when the minimum game time has not elapsed. The sub-control board S receives a command related to the effect group number from the main control board M, and then outputs the sound from the speaker S20 as "middle!" (The first stop operation is the middle stop button. The process of outputting the voice with the voice suggesting the operation) is executed. After that, the effect display device S40 executes a process of displaying (starting display) "213" as a push order navigation. The timing at which the display of the push order navigation by voice from the speaker S20 is started is the timing before the effect display device S40. This is a process in which, when the sub control board S receives a command related to the effect group number from the main control board M, the audio output process from the speaker S20 draws the push order navigation on the effect display device S40. This is because it is executed faster than. After that, after the minimum game time elapses, the reel starts to rotate, the operation of the stop button becomes effective, and the rotation speed of the reel becomes constant on the main control board M, and the operation of the stop button becomes effective. Previously, the push order display device D270 executes a process of displaying (starting display) dynamic lighting of "= 3" as a push order navigation. In FIG. 103, the order in which the push order navigation is displayed is “voice → effect display device → push order display device”, and the timing at which the push order navigation notification by voice output is started is the push order display. The timing is ahead of the device D270 and ahead of the effect display device S40.

Even in the case of the configuration as illustrated in FIG. 103, the start lever was operated immediately before the end of the period before the minimum game time elapses (for example, about 10 ms remaining until the minimum game time elapses) (for example, the remaining game time is about 10 ms). When the main control board M sends a command related to the effect group number to the sub control board S side), the order in which the push order navigation is displayed is "push order display device-> voice-> effect display device" or "voice->". In some cases, the push order display device → the effect display device. Here, when displaying the push order navigation on the effect display device S40, as described above, after the sub control board S receives the command related to the effect group number from the main control board M, the effect display device S40 is displayed. It takes about 32 ms to display (start displaying) "213" as the push order navigation (until the drawing process is executed), so it is just before the end of the period before the minimum game time elapses ( For example, when the start lever is operated (the main control board M sends a command related to the effect group number to the sub control board S side) when the minimum game time elapses (about 10 ms remaining), the push order display device The push order navigation by the effect display device S40 may be displayed (display started) after the push order navigation is displayed by D270 or the push order navigation is notified by voice.

Further, also in the speaker S20, the start lever is operated immediately before the end of the period before the minimum game time elapses (for example, about 10 ms remaining until the minimum game time elapses) (the main control board M is the sub control board). When the command related to the effect group number is transmitted to the S side), it takes time for the sub control board S side to receive the command related to the effect group number from the main control board M side. The push order navigation by voice from the speaker S20 may be notified after the push order navigation is displayed by D270.

As described above, the timing at which the push order navigation display is started on the push order display device D270 is as follows: start lever operation → period during which the minimum game time has not elapsed → reel rotation start → reel acceleration state → reel constant speed state → As long as the operation of the stop button is valid, the timing for displaying the push order navigation can be set as appropriate.

<Effect>
In this way, when the start lever is operated in a situation where the minimum game time has not elapsed, the start timing of the push order navigation by voice is set for a predetermined period (start lever operation → minimum game time has elapsed → reel rotation start → By determining the reel acceleration state → reel constant speed state → period until the operation of the stop button becomes effective), for example, even if the gaming machine is not equipped with a liquid crystal unit such as the effect display device S40. The push order navigation can be executed in a simple notification mode of voice (voice output from the speaker S20 in this example), and in a situation where the reel or the stop button is focused and the effect display device S40 is not viewed. Even when the push order navigation is executed, the player can recognize the push order navigation by voice while paying attention to the reel or the stop button, so that the player cannot recognize the push order navigation. It is possible to provide a user-friendly gaming machine that is unlikely to happen.

An example of the timing of displaying the push order navigation on the push order display device D270 and the timing of displaying the push order navigation on the effect display device S40 has been described for the case where there is a weight and the case where there is no weight. The timing for displaying the push order navigation on each display device is not limited to these. If the period is from the start of the operation of the start lever D50 to the start lever operation → the minimum game time elapses → the reel rotation start → the reel acceleration state → the reel constant speed state → the operation of the stop button is valid, the pressing order is appropriate. You can set the timing to display the navigation. Further, it is preferable to set the display timing of the push order navigation on the effect display device S40 to be narrower than the above-mentioned period. This is because it takes a predetermined time (for example, 32 ms or more) from the CPU SC of the sub control board S receiving a predetermined command from the CPU C 100 of the main control board M to displaying the push order navigation on the effect display device S40. Is. Further, the larger the number of drawing frames displayed on the effect display device S40, the more time is required. The winning combination is determined after the start lever D50 is operated, but considering the time required from the determination of the winning combination to the display of the push order navigation on the effect display device S40 as described above, As an example, the timing at which the push order navigation display is started on the effect display device S40 is the period during which the minimum game time has not elapsed (when there is a weight) → the reel rotation starts (when there is no weight) → the reel acceleration. State → Reel constant speed state → It is preferable to set the period until the operation of the stop button becomes effective. By defining in this way, the period until the display of the push order navigation on the push order display device D270 is started and the period until the display of the push order navigation on the effect display device S40 is started are different. Can be done. During these periods, it is possible to appropriately determine the timing at which the display of the push order navigation is started on each display device.

For example, in the period from start lever operation → minimum game time elapsed → reel rotation start → reel acceleration state → reel constant speed state → stop button operation is effective, push order display device D270 and effect display device S40, voice, reel To describe an example of the order in which the push order navigation on the window frame lamp D310 is notified,
(1) Push order display device → effect display device → voice → reel window frame lamp (2) push order display device → effect display device → reel window frame lamp → voice (3) push order display device → voice → effect display device → Reel window frame lamp (4) Push order display device → Voice → Reel window frame lamp → Effect display device (5) Push order display device → Reel window frame lamp → Effect display device → Voice (6) Push order display device → Reel window Frame lamp → voice → effect display device (7) effect display device → push order display device → voice → reel window frame lamp (8) effect display device → push order display device → reel window frame lamp → sound (9) effect display device → Voice → Push order display device → Reel window frame lamp (10) Production display device → Voice → Reel window frame lamp → Push order display device (11) Production display device → Reel window frame lamp → Push order display device → Voice (12 ) Effect display device → reel window frame lamp → voice → push order display device (13) voice → push order display device → effect display device → reel window frame lamp (14) voice → push order display device → reel window frame lamp → effect Display device (15) Voice → Effect display device → Push order display device → Reel window frame lamp (16) Voice → Effect display device → Reel window frame lamp → Push order display device (17) Voice → Reel window frame lamp → Push order Display device → effect display device (18) voice → reel window frame lamp → effect display device → push order display device (19) reel window frame lamp → push order display device → effect display device → voice (20) reel window frame lamp → Push order display device → voice → effect display device (21) reel window frame lamp → effect display device → push order display device → voice (22) reel window frame lamp → effect display device → voice → push order display device (23) reel Window frame lamp → voice → push order display device → effect display device (24) Reel window frame lamp → voice → effect display device → like the push order display device, start lever operation → minimum game time elapses → reel rotation start → In the period from the reel acceleration state to the reel constant speed state to the operation of the stop button, it is possible to appropriately determine the timing at which the push order navigation is displayed (display start).

Further, as one of the effect means controlled by the sub control board S, it is controlled by the sub control board S provided inside the stop button D40 (left stop button D41, middle stop button D42, right stop button D43). It is also possible to add a push-order navigation that lights (blinks) so as to suggest an operation mode of the stop button that is advantageous to the player by the stop button lamp S60. When the start lever D50 is operated, the main control board M transmits a command related to the effect group number to the sub control board S side by timer interrupt processing. After receiving the command related to the effect group number from the main control board M, the sub-control board S lights (or blinks) the stop button lamp S60 provided inside the first stop button on which the first stop operation should be performed. Execute the process to make it. To describe an example of the order in which the push-order navigation is displayed (display starts), which is configured by adding the push-order navigation by the stop button D40.
(25) Push-order display device → Voice → Reel window frame lamp → Stop button lamp (only the first stop button lights (blinks)) → Effect display device (26) Push-order display device → Voice → Stop button lamp (1st stop) Button only lit (blinking)) → reel window frame lamp → effect display device (27) Push order display device → voice → stop button lamp (only the first stop button lit (blinking)) and reel window frame lamp are almost simultaneous → effect It can be configured like a display device, but the order here is an example, and is not limited to this. For example, in (27) above, the reel window frame lamp D310 and the stop button lamp S60 are turned on (blinking) at the same timing, but it is also possible to configure the speaker S20 to output sound at the same time. Execution timing of timer interrupt processing (push order display device D270) related to display (display start) of push order navigation on the main control board M side (push order display device D270), or sub control board S (effect display device S40, reel) The order in which the push order navigation is displayed (display start) may be determined depending on the transmission timing of the command related to the notification of the push order navigation of the window frame lamp D310, the sound from the speaker S20, and the stop button D40). When the push-button navigation by the stop button lamp S60 is executed, the stop button lamps corresponding to all reels are not lit (blinking), but only the stop button lamps corresponding to the reels on which the stop operation should be performed are displayed. It is preferable to control the lighting (blinking). When executing, for example, "213": "middle->left->right" push-order navigation with the stop button lamp S60, the stop button lamp (lit) corresponding to the middle stop button D42 → the middle stop button D42 is operated → the middle stop Stop button lamp corresponding to button D42 (off) → Stop button lamp corresponding to left stop button D41 (lit) → Operate left stop button D41 → Stop button lamp corresponding to left stop button D41 (off) → Right stop button Stop button lamp corresponding to D43 (lit) → Operate right stop button D43 → Stop button lamp corresponding to reel lights based on the progress of the game like stop button lamp corresponding to right stop button D43 (off) (Blinking), configured to turn off.

Further, the case where the control of the stop button lamp S60 provided inside the stop button D40 (left stop button D41, middle stop button D42, right stop button D43) is executed by the sub-control board S has been described above. The control of the stop button lamp S60 provided inside the button D40 (left stop button D41, middle stop button D42, right stop button D43) may be executed by the main control board M. Hereinafter, the start timing of the push-button navigation under the control of the stop button lamp S60 provided inside the stop button D40 (left stop button D41, middle stop button D42, right stop button D43) on the main control board M will be described.

When the stop button lamp S60 is controlled by the main control board M, the start lever is operated, and a timer interrupt is performed after the effect group number is determined based on the determination of the winning combination (here, the pressing order bell combination). The process of turning on (or blinking) the stop button lamp S60 is executed by the process (for example, in the first cycle from the determination of the effect group number, the time required for the stop button lamp S60 to turn on is about 2 ms). It becomes possible to do. To describe an example of the order in which the push-order navigation is displayed (display starts) in a configuration in which the push-order navigation by the stop button lamp S60 is added by the configuration in this way.
(28) Push-order display device → Stop button lamp (only the first stop button lights (blinks)) → Voice → Reel window frame lamp → Effect display device (29) Stop button lamp (only the first stop button lights (blinks)) → Push order display device → Voice → Reel window frame lamp → Production display device (30) Stop button lamp (only the first stop button lights (blinks)) and push order display device are almost simultaneous → Voice → Reel window frame lamp → Production It can be configured like a display device, but the order here is an example, and is not limited to this. For example, in the above (28) to (30), the push order navigation by the stop button lamp S60 which is controlled by the main control board M side is the sound from the effect display device S40 and the speaker S20 which are controlled by the sub control board S side. , It is started before the push order navigation by the reel window frame lamp D310, but on the main control board M side, the timing to execute the timer interrupt process for lighting (blinking) the stop button lamp S60 is changed. After starting the push order navigation on the sub-control board S side (for example, the effect display device S40, the sound from the speaker, the reel window frame lamp D310), the push order navigation by the stop button lamp S60 may be started. Execution timing of timer interrupt processing related to display (display start) of push-order navigation on the main control board M side (push-order display device D270, stop button lamp S60), or sub-control board S (effect display device S40, reel window frame) The order in which the push-order navigation is displayed (display starts) may be determined according to the transmission timing of the command related to the notification of the push-order navigation of the lamp D310 and the speaker S20.

<< Configuration related to the end of display of push order navigation >>
Next, the end timing of the push order navigation of the push order display device D270 and the effect display device S40 will be described. The timing at which the push order navigation ends can be freely designed to some extent according to the period during which the player ends the game, similar to the timing at which the push order navigation starts. An example of the period during which the player ends the game is the timing at which the player operates the third stop button. When the third stop button is operated and all reels are completely stopped and a prize is won, the game ends when the payout of the game medal based on the prize is completed.

The period for ending the display of the push order navigation is the period of "3rd stop button operation (pressing)-> 3rd stop button non-pressing-> winning judgment-> payout based on winning" starting from the operation timing of the 3rd stop button. It is possible to specify either timing. In this example, the end timing of the push order navigation is configured to be different for each push order combination (push order bell, push order replay combination). For example, the timing at which the display of the push order navigation by the push order display device D270 ends differs depending on whether the determined winning combination is the push order bell or the push order replay combination.

In the configurations 1 to 5 described below, in order to explain the end timing of the push order navigation, the first stop button and the second stop button are already pressed and the effect display device. It should be added that the push-order navigation corresponding to the first stop button and the second stop button of S40 has also been completed.

<Structure 1>
First, configuration 1 of FIG. 104 will be described. The instruction game is executed when the state related to AT is in the AT state (the game state in which the push order navigation is executed when the push order combination is won), and the first stop button and the second stop button are operated. In a situation where the push order navigation related to the 3 stop is displayed on the effect display device S40 and the push order navigation related to the game is displayed on the push order display device D270, the right stop button is operated as the third stop. (Pressed). By pressing the stop button, the display of the push order navigation on the push order display device D270 ends, and the push order navigation disappearance effect related to the right reel (right stop button) is displayed on the effect display device S40 (display start). Will be done. In the game, if the player has won the predetermined push order bell and the stop operation is performed in the order of "middle->left->right", it is most advantageous to the player (for example, the number of payouts is large). (When winning "Prize-A3") is illustrated.

Here, the push order navigation disappearance effect is displayed for a predetermined time as an effect display related to the end when the display of the push order navigation displayed on the effect display device ends. In the figure, in the situation where "3" is displayed as the push order navigation on the effect display device S40, the right stop button is operated, and the sensor that detects the operation of the right stop button is turned from off to on. Is detected by the interrupt processing on the main control board M side, so that the command related to the detection is transmitted from the main control board M side to the sub control board S side, and the sub control board S side receives the command related to the detection. Then, by executing the process of erasing the display of "3", the push order navigation disappearance effect that is erased after the display of "3" becomes transparent is displayed.

After that, in the situation where the push order navigation on the push order display device D270 is finished, the display of the push order navigation disappearance effect is finished (the push order navigation on the effect display device S40 is finished). Here, as the end trigger of the push order navigation of the push order display device D270 and the push order navigation of the effect display device S40, both "press the third stop button" (the sensor for detecting the operation of the third stop button is turned off). It is detected by the interrupt processing on the main control board M side), but in FIG. 104, the push order navigation of the push order display device D270 precedes the push order navigation of the effect display device S40. The display is completely erased. This is the same as when the push-order navigation starts, and even if the end timing of the push-order navigation is set to "when the third stop button is pressed", the CPUSC of the sub-control board S draws a plurality of frames. It can be said that this is because the end of the push order navigation of the effect display device S40 is delayed by the amount of processing for displaying.

To elaborate on the end of the push order navigation, in the push order display device D270, the push order display device D270 is turned on → off start → off is completed, so that the push order navigation ends, and in the effect display device S40, the push order is pushed. The push order navigation ends when the display of the forward navigation → the display of the push order navigation disappearance effect starts → the display of the push order navigation disappearance effect ends (erasing is completed). In this example, the timing at which the push order display device D270 starts to turn off is referred to as the push order display device turns off, and the display start of the push order navigation disappearance effect is referred to as the display (display start) of the push order navigation disappearance effect. The push order display device extinguishing may be replaced with the timing at which the push order display device D270 is completed, or the display of the push order navigation extinction effect may be replaced with the timing at which the display of the push order navigation extinction effect ends. The timing of turning off the push order display device and displaying the push order navigation disappearance effect (display start) may be set to the push order display device turn off → display of the push order navigation disappearance effect (display start), or display of the push order disappearance effect. (Display start) → The push order display device may be turned off, or the push order display device may be turned off and the push order navigation disappearance effect may be displayed (display start) at the same time.

Further, the configuration in which the display of the push order navigation ends when the third stop button is operated has been described above, but the timing when the third stop button is pressed (the operation of the third stop button is detected) is the same as when the third stop button is operated. It is the timing when it is detected by the interrupt processing on the main control board M side that the sensor for this is turned on from off. In the following, it may also be referred to as "when the third stop button is pressed") and the third stop. After the button is pressed, the third stop button is released (after detecting that the sensor for detecting the operation of the third stop button has been turned from off to on by the interrupt processing on the main control board M side). , It is the timing when it is detected that it has changed from on to off, and in the following, it may also be referred to as "when the third stop button is not pressed"), and the push order navigation ends for each of these states. It can also be configured to specify the timing. For example, in the push order display device D270 and the effect display device S40, the order of the timing at which the push order navigation ends is described in more detail.
(When the push order navigation ends at the same time)
(1) It is detected that the sensor for detecting the operation of the third stop button is turned from off to on by the interrupt processing on the main control board M side → the push order display device is turned off → the sub control from the main control board M side. Send a command related to the detection of the 3rd stop button to the board S side → The sub-control board S side receives the command → Display the push order navigation disappearance effect (display start)
(2) Detects that the sensor for detecting the operation of the third stop button has changed from off to on by the interrupt processing on the main control board M side → the push order display device turns off → the interrupt processing on the main control board M side Detects that the sensor for detecting the operation of the 3rd stop button has been turned on from off → Sends a command related to the detection of the 3rd stop button from the main control board M side to the sub control board S side → sub The control board S side receives the command → Display of push order navigation disappearance effect (display start)
(3) Detects that the sensor for detecting the operation of the third stop button has been turned from on to off by the interrupt processing on the main control board M side → push order display device turns off → sub-control from the main control board M side Send a command related to the detection of the 3rd stop button to the board S side → The sub-control board S side receives the command → Display the push order navigation disappearance effect (display start)
(4) It is detected that the sensor for detecting the operation of the third stop button is turned from off to on by the interrupt processing on the main control board M side → the third from the main control board M side to the sub control board S side. Send a command related to the detection of the stop button → The sub control board S side receives the command → Display of the push order disappearance effect (display start) → Turn off the push order display device (5) By interrupt processing on the main control board M side 3 Detects that the sensor for detecting the operation of the stop button has turned from off to on → Sends a command related to the detection of the third stop button from the main control board M side to the sub control board S side → sub control board S The side receives the command → Display of the push order disappearance effect (display start) → Detects that the sensor for detecting the operation of the 3rd stop button has been turned from on to off by the interrupt processing on the main control board M side → Push-order display device goes off (6) Detects that the sensor for detecting the operation of the third stop button has been turned from on to off by the interrupt processing on the main control board M side → Sub control board from the main control board M side Send a command related to the detection of the third stop button to the S side → The sub-control board S side receives the command → Display the push order disappearance effect (display start) → Turn off the push order display device (end of push order navigation at the same time) If)
(7) It is detected that the sensor for detecting the operation of the third stop button is turned from off to on by the interrupt processing on the main control board M side → the third from the main control board M side to the sub control board S side. Send a command related to the detection of the stop button → The sub control board S side receives the command → The push order disappearance effect is displayed (display starts) and the push order display device is turned off (8) By the interrupt processing on the main control board M side Detects that the sensor for detecting the operation of the 3rd stop button has turned from on to off → Sends a command related to the detection of the 3rd stop button from the main control board M side to the sub control board S side → sub control board It is possible for the S side to specify that the push order display device is turned off at the same time as the reception of the command → the display (display start) of the push order disappearance effect.

In addition, the display mode of the push order navigation when the first stop button is pressed and when the second stop button is pressed, not when the third stop button is pressed, will be described as a supplement. First, in the push order display device D270, the sensor for detecting the operation of the third stop button is turned from off to on (or from on to off) by the interrupt process on the main control board M side after the lighting is started. The lighted state continues until it is detected and the light is turned off. On the other hand, in the effect display device S40, for example, the first stop button is pressed (the sensor for detecting the operation of the third stop button is turned from off to on (or from on to off) by the interrupt processing on the main control board M side). (Detection) The command related to the detection of the first stop button is sent from the main control board M side to the sub control board S side → the sub control board S side receives the command → the push order corresponding to the first stop button disappears. Start changing the display mode of the effect display (display start) and the push order navigation (for example, "2" display) corresponding to the reel to be stopped next (hereinafter, "display mode of the second reel push order navigation"). It is also configured to "start change"). The order in which these are executed is
(9) Display of push order disappearance effect corresponding to the first stop button (display start) → Start changing the display mode of the second reel push order navigation (10) Start changing the display mode of the second reel push order navigation → No. 1 Display of push order disappearance effect corresponding to stop button (display start)
It may be configured as either of. Similarly, when the second stop button is operated, the same applies.
(11) Display of push order disappearance effect (display mode has been changed) corresponding to the 2nd stop button (display start) → Start of change of display mode of 3rd reel push order navigation (12) 3rd reel push order Start changing the display mode of the navigation → Display (display start) of the push order disappearance effect (display mode has been changed) corresponding to the second stop button
It can be configured as follows.

<Structure 2>
Next, the configuration 2 of FIG. 105 will be described. The instruction game is executed when the state related to AT is in the AT state (the game state in which the push order navigation is executed when the push order combination is won), and the first stop button and the second stop button are operated. In a situation where the push order navigation related to the 3 stop is displayed on the effect display device S40 and the push order navigation related to the game is displayed on the push order display device D270, the right stop button is operated as the third stop. (Pressed). By pressing the stop button, the push order navigation disappearance effect related to the right reel (right stop button) is displayed (display start) on the effect display device S40. In the game, if the player has won the predetermined push order bell and the stop operation is performed in the order of "middle->left->right", it is most advantageous to the player (for example, the number of payouts is large). (When winning "Prize-A3") is illustrated.

After that, while pressing the right stop button, the display of the push order navigation disappearance effect ends (the push order navigation in the effect display device S40 ends). After that, when the right stop button is released, the display of the push order navigation on the push order display device D270 ends.

<Structure 3>
Next, configuration 3 of FIG. 106 will be described. In FIG. 106, the push order navigation displayed on the push order display device D270 is set to “3” instead of “= 3”. That is, the numerical value is displayed as the push order navigation in the right digit of the push order display device D270, and the left digit is hidden. Further, the push order display device D270 is configured to be able to display the push order navigation display and the display of the number of acquired sheets.

The instruction game is executed when the state related to AT is in the AT state (the game state in which the push order navigation is executed when the push order combination is won), and the first stop button and the second stop button are operated. In a situation where the push order navigation related to the 3 stop is displayed on the effect display device S40 and the push order navigation related to the game is displayed on the push order display device D270, the right stop button is operated as the third stop. (Pressed). By pressing the stop button, it is detected that the sensor for detecting the operation of the third stop button has changed from off to on by the interrupt processing on the main control board M side → sub-control from the main control board M side. Send a command related to the detection of the third stop button to the board S side → The sub-control board S side receives the command → Display the push order disappearance effect related to the right reel (right stop button) on the effect display device S40 (display start) Will be done. In the game, if the player has won the predetermined push order bell and the stop operation is performed in the order of "middle-> left-> right", it is most advantageous to the player (for example, the number of payouts is large). (When winning "Prize-A3") is illustrated.

After that, while pressing the right stop button, the symbol combination related to the push order bell (the symbol combination for paying out 11 sheets) is stopped and displayed, and "0" is displayed on the push order display device D270. After that, when the right stop button is released, the payout related to the symbol combination displayed as stopped is started, and the push order display device D270 is displayed with "1" → "2" → "3" → ... "10" → "11". The number of acquired sheets is displayed as shown in. After "11" is displayed on the push order display device D270 (after displaying the acquired number of sheets), the display of the push order display device D270 is terminated (hidden). In this way, the push order display device D270 is configured to be able to display both the push order navigation and the acquired number of sheets display, and the display mode of the push order navigation display is a numerical value only in the lower digit of the push order display device D270. In the mode of displaying, when the symbol combination for which the game medal is paid out is stopped and displayed in the instruction game, the push order display device D270 displays both the push order navigation and the acquired number display. There is a risk that a person may misidentify the push order navigation or the number of acquired medals. Therefore, by ending the display of the push order navigation and configuring to display "0" while starting the display of the acquired number of sheets, regardless of the number of payouts related to the symbol combination that is stopped and displayed (for example, 1). The player can recognize that the display of the acquired number of sheets is started (whether the number of sheets is 11 or 11). The numerical value of "0" may be changed, and it is preferable that the display mode is different from the display mode that can be displayed as the push order navigation.

It should be noted that the end timing of the push order navigation display of the push order display device D270 is changed from "3rd stop button not pressed (after separation)", that is, "3" (function of the push order display device) to "0". (Function of the payout number display device) is set, but for example, it may be the timing of "payout completion based on winning" when the display of the push order display device D270 disappears completely. By setting the end timing of the push order navigation of the effect display device S40 to "when the third stop button is pressed", the push order navigation of the effect display device S40 precedes the push order navigation of the push order display device D270. You can see that it will end.

As another example, the push order navigation displayed on the push order display device D270 is configured as "13", "23", "33" instead of "= 3". The displayed push order navigation will be explained in detail. The left digits "1", "2", and "3" are associated with the left reel M51, the middle reel M52, and the right reel M53, respectively, and indicate the positions of the reels on which the stop operation should be performed. (For example, "1" indicates that the reel to be stopped is the left reel M51, and "2" indicates that the reel to be stopped is the middle reel M52). The digit "3" on the right side corresponds to the pressing order "middle-> left-> right" (corresponding instruction number is "A3") displayed on the effect display device S40 as in the conventional configuration. It is a thing. With this configuration, the push order navigation is displayed in the order of "23"-> "13"-> "33", and the stop button is operated according to the push order. At the timing, the push order navigation corresponding to the reel on which the stop operation is performed disappears, and the push order navigation corresponding to the reel on which the stop operation on the next reel should be performed is displayed. Then, when the final stop operation is performed, the display of the push order navigation (“33” in this example) corresponding to the final stop operation disappears, so that the push order navigation by the push order display device D270 ends.

<Effect>
In this way, the end timing of the push order navigation displayed on the push order display device D270 and the effect display device S40 is set for a predetermined period (third stop button operation (press) → third stop button not pressed → winning judgment → winning. The end timing of the push order navigation displayed on the push order display device D270 and the end timing of the push order navigation displayed on the effect display device S40 can be made different by determining the period until the payment is completed. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the situation where two display devices must be visually recognized at the same time, and the player can visually recognize the end of the push order navigation on each display device at the timing when the push order navigation occurs. It is possible to provide a user-friendly game machine that can reduce the number of problems.

Further, when the end of the push order navigation display (push order navigation display on the effect display device S40) on the push order display device D270 is triggered by the interrupt processing on the main control board M side, the sensor for detecting the operation of the stop button is turned on. If it is specified to be turned off (release the stop button), it will stop even if the player holds down the final stop button (third stop button) with a sense of expectation for the result of the game. It can be configured so that the push order navigation does not end until the button is turned from on to off. Here, if the push order navigation is deleted immediately after the stop button is turned from off to on, the expectation that the result of the game may not be advantageous to the player is reduced. Since there is a possibility that the event will come off, the result of the game is not a favorable result for the player by configuring so that the push order navigation does not end until the stop button is turned from on to off. It is possible to reduce the occurrence of events that reduce the expectation of the heel.

<Structure 4>
Next, the configuration 4 of FIG. 107 will be described. The instruction game is executed when the state related to AT is in the AT state (the game state in which the push order navigation is executed when the push order combination is won), and the first stop button and the second stop button are operated. In a situation where the push order navigation related to the 3 stop is displayed on the effect display device S40 and the push order navigation related to the game is displayed on the push order display device D270, the right stop button is operated as the third stop. (Pressed). By pressing the stop button, it is detected that the sensor for detecting the operation of the third stop button is turned from off to on by the interrupt processing on the main control board M side → sub-control from the main control board M side. Send a command related to the detection of the third stop button to the board S side → The sub-control board S side receives the command → Display the push order disappearance effect related to the right reel (right stop button) on the effect display device S40 (display start) At the same time, the push order navigation in the push order display device D270 ends. In the game, the player has won the predetermined push order re-game, and the player is most advantageous by stopping the game in the order of "middle->left->right" (RT state with high re-game winning probability). (For example, when the middle first stop is the most profitable three-choice push-order re-game, "re-game-D2" is won).

After that, while pressing the right stop button, the display of the push order navigation disappearance effect ends (the push order navigation in the effect display device S40 ends). After that, when the right stop button is released (it is detected that the sensor for detecting the operation of the third stop button is turned from on to off by the interrupt processing on the main control board M side), the symbol combination related to the replay is performed. Is stopped and displayed, so that automatic betting is executed and the 1-bet lamp D211 lights up (when automatic betting is executed, for example, 1-bet lamp D211 → 2-bet lamp D212 → 3-bet lamp D213). Will light up).

<Structure 5>
Next, the configuration 5 of FIG. 108 will be described. The instruction game is executed when the state related to AT is in the AT state (the game state in which the push order navigation is executed when the push order combination is won), and the first stop button and the second stop button are operated. In a situation where the push order navigation related to the 3 stop is displayed on the effect display device S40 and the push order navigation related to the game is displayed on the push order display device D270, the right stop button is operated as the third stop. (Pressed). By pressing the stop button, it is detected that the sensor for detecting the operation of the third stop button is turned from off to on by the interrupt processing on the main control board M side → sub-control from the main control board M side. Send a command related to the detection of the third stop button to the board S side → The sub-control board S side receives the command → Display the push order navigation disappearance effect related to the right reel (right stop button) on the effect display device S40 (display start) ). In the game, the player has won the predetermined push order re-game, and the player is most advantageous by stopping the game in the order of "middle->left->right" (RT state with high re-game winning probability). (For example, when the middle first stop is the most profitable three-choice push-order re-game, "re-game-D2" is won).

After that, while pressing the right stop button, the display of the push order navigation disappearance effect ends (the push order navigation in the effect display device S40 ends). After that, when the right stop button is released (it is detected that the sensor for detecting the operation of the third stop button is turned from on to off by the interrupt processing on the main control board M side), the symbol combination related to the replay is performed. Is stopped and displayed, so that automatic betting is executed, the 1-bet lamp D211 lights up, and after the 1-bet lamp D211 lights up, the push-order navigation in the push-order display device D270 ends.

In this way, for example, when the configuration 1 of FIG. 104 and the configuration 5 of FIG. 108 are provided, it is possible to distinguish between the push order bell combination and the push order replay combination in the combination of the symbols displayed as stopped. It is possible to provide a game machine capable of determining which small winning combination is won by the difference in the end timing of the push order navigation even for a player who does not have a mark.

As described above, the end timing of the push order navigation in the case of the push order bell as the push order combination or the push order replay combination has been described. In the effect display device S40, as the timing at which the push order navigation ends, only the case of "when the third stop button is pressed" has been described as an example, but this is not the case. As the period for ending the game, if any of the third stop button operation (pressing) → the third stop button not pressing → winning judgment → payout completion based on winning, the timing to end the push order navigation is arbitrarily determined. Is possible. Further, in the push order display device D270, as the timing at which the push order navigation ends, the period during which the push order navigation ends differs depending on whether the winning combination is the push order bell or the push order replay combination. ing. As an example of the case where the winning combination is the push order replay combination, the timing at which the push order navigation ends is set to "when the 1-bet lamp is lit", and the push order is displayed by arbitrarily setting the lighting timing of the 1-bet lamp D211. The end timing of the push order navigation of the device D270 changes significantly. As an example, if the lighting timing of the 1-bet lamp D211 is the start of the next game, the end period of the push order navigation when the winning combination is the push order bell, "3rd stop button operation (press) → 3rd The timing is later than "Stop button not pressed-> Winning judgment-> Completion of payout based on winning", "3rd stop button operation (pressing)-> No 3rd stop button pressed-> Winning judgment-> Completion of payout based on winning-> 1 bet lamp If the lighting timing of the 1-bet lamp D211 is "when lit" and the 3rd stop button is not pressed, "3rd stop button operation (pressing)-> 3rd stop button not pressed-> 1-bet lamp is lit-> winning. Judgment → Completion of payout based on winning ", and the winning combination will be included within the end period of the push order navigation at the time of the push order bell.

Similar to the timing when the push order navigation is displayed (display start), the order of the timing when the push order navigation ends is also based on the third stop button operation (press) → the third stop button not pressed → winning judgment → winning. An example of the order in which the push order navigation on the push order display device D270, the effect display device S40, the voice, and the reel window frame lamp D310 is completed during the payout completion period will be described.
(1) Push order display device → effect display device → voice → reel window frame lamp (2) push order display device → effect display device → reel window frame lamp → voice (3) push order display device → voice → effect display device → Reel window frame lamp (4) Push order display device → Voice → Reel window frame lamp → Effect display device (5) Push order display device → Reel window frame lamp → Effect display device → Voice (6) Push order display device → Reel window Frame lamp → voice → effect display device (7) effect display device → push order display device → voice → reel window frame lamp (8) effect display device → push order display device → reel window frame lamp → sound (9) effect display device → Voice → Push order display device → Reel window frame lamp (10) Production display device → Voice → Reel window frame lamp → Push order display device (11) Production display device → Reel window frame lamp → Push order display device → Voice (12 ) Effect display device → reel window frame lamp → voice → push order display device (13) voice → push order display device → effect display device → reel window frame lamp (14) voice → push order display device → reel window frame lamp → effect Display device (15) Voice → Effect display device → Push order display device → Reel window frame lamp (16) Voice → Effect display device → Reel window frame lamp → Push order display device (17) Voice → Reel window frame lamp → Push order Display device → effect display device (18) voice → reel window frame lamp → effect display device → push order display device (19) reel window frame lamp → push order display device → effect display device → voice (20) reel window frame lamp → Push order display device → voice → effect display device (21) reel window frame lamp → effect display device → push order display device → voice (22) reel window frame lamp → effect display device → voice → push order display device (23) reel Window frame lamp → voice → push order display device → effect display device (24) Reel window frame lamp → voice → effect display device → push order display device In this way, the third stop button operation (press) → the third stop button is not In the period of pressing → winning judgment → payout completion based on winning, it is possible to appropriately determine the timing at which the pushing order navigation ends.

Further, as one of the effect means controlled by the sub control board S, it is controlled by the sub control board S provided inside the stop button D40 (left stop button D41, middle stop button D42, right stop button D43). An example of the order in which the push-order navigation with the push-order navigation by the stop button lamp S60 is completed will be described. As the process until the end of the push-order navigation by the stop button lamp S60, the main control board M detects that the sensor for detecting the operation of the third stop button has been turned from on to off → the main control board M. Sends a command related to the operation of the third stop button to the sub-control board S side by timer interrupt processing → The sub-control board S receives the command → Stop button lamp S60 provided inside the third stop button Turns off (starts turning off). Further, the main control board M detects that the sensor for detecting the operation of the first stop button has been turned from on to off. → The main control board M stops the first stop on the sub control board S side by timer interrupt processing. Send a command related to button operation → The sub-control board S receives the command → Turn off the stop button lamp S60 provided inside the first stop button (start turning off) and provide it inside the second stop button. Turns on (starts lighting) the stop button lamp S60.
(25) Push-order display device-> effect display device->voice-> reel window frame lamp-> stop button (third stop button lamp goes off)
(26) Push-order display device-> effect display device-> reel window frame lamp->sound-> stop button (third stop button lamp goes off)
It is possible to configure such as. The timing of the end of the push order navigation by the stop button D40 is the push order display device D270 and the effect display device S40, the voice, and the reel, like the reel window frame lamp D310 that executes the push order navigation by turning on and off the lamp. It may be before or after the window frame lamp D310. Further, when the third stop button is operated, the light may be turned off by pressing the third stop button, or may be turned off by not pressing the third stop button.

As described above, in this example, one game progresses based on << configuration related to the display start of the push order navigation >> and << configuration related to the display end of the push order navigation >>. .. A concrete example of the flow of one game from when the push order navigation is displayed (display start) to when the push order navigation ends is described.
1. 1. Push order navigation display (display start)
Start lever operation → Display of push order navigation (display start) (push order display device D270) → Display of push order navigation (display start) (effect display device S40)
2. 2. From the first stop button operation to the second stop button operation 2-1. Production display device S40
Display of push order disappearance effect corresponding to operation of 1st stop button (display start) → End of display of push order disappearance effect corresponding to operation of 1st stop button → Change of display mode of 2nd reel push order navigation → Display of push order disappearance effect (display mode has been changed) corresponding to the operation of the second stop button (display start) → End of display of push order disappearance effect corresponding to the operation of the second stop button → 3rd reel Change of display mode of push order navigation 2-2. Push order display device D270
The push order display device D270 is in a lit state.
3. 3. 3rd stop button operation-end of push-order navigation display 3rd stop button operation-> push-order display device off-> display of push-order navigation disappearance effect corresponding to 3rd stop button operation (display start)-> 3rd stop button End of display of push order disappearance effect corresponding to operation In this way, the flow of one game proceeds. The example described above is only one example, for example, 1. The push order navigation display (display start) may include the reel window frame lamp D310 and the sound output from the speaker S20, and the push order navigation display (display start) timing and push order may be included. The order in which the navigation is displayed (display starts) is not limited to this. In addition, 2. In the operation of the first stop button to the second stop button, the effect display device S40 displays the push-order disappearance effect corresponding to each stop button (display start), and changes the display mode of the push-order navigation corresponding to the next reel. The order of doing this is not limited to this. Also, 3. In the third stop button operation to the end of the display of the push order navigation, the order of the end of the display of the push order display device D270 and the effect display device S40 is not limited to this, and the timing at which the push order navigation ends is more detailed. It may be specified (it can be further classified by pressing the third stop button, not pressing the third stop button, etc.).

By configuring as in this example, the start timing of the push order navigation displayed on the push order display device D270 and the start timing of the push order navigation displayed on the effect display device S40 are different. It is possible to avoid the situation where the display devices must be visually recognized at the same time, and the player can reduce the game burden of the player being able to visually recognize the push order navigation on each display device at the timing when the push order navigation occurs. The end timing of the push order navigation displayed on the display device D270 and the effect display device S40 is set for a predetermined period (third stop button operation (press) → no third stop button pressed → winning judgment → completion of payout based on winning. By specifying the period), for example, the end timing of the push order navigation displayed on the push order display device D270 and the end timing of the push order navigation displayed on the effect display device S40 are different, so that the two display devices are displayed. It is possible to avoid the situation where the push order navigation must be visually recognized at the same time, and the player can visually recognize the end of the push order navigation on each display device at the timing when the push order navigation occurs, which is user-friendly. A game machine can be provided.

<Display mode when the push order is incorrect>
Here, in the game in which the push order navigation is executed, an example of the configuration of the display mode of the push order navigation when the game is executed in the push order (or different operation timing) different from the push order navigation is described in detail. Describe. Here, an example is illustrated in which a game in which the push order bell is won and the correct push order is “left → middle → right” is executed.

In the situation where "123" is displayed as the push order navigation on the effect display device S40 and "= 1" is displayed as the push order navigation on the push order display device D270, the middle stop button is displayed as the first stop operation. (The correct pressing order corresponds to the left stop button) is operated, and it is detected that the sensor for detecting the operation of the first stop button is turned from off to on as interrupt processing on the main control board M side → main control The command related to the detection of the first stop button is transmitted from the board M side to the sub control board S side → the sub control board S side receives the command → the sub control board S side displays all “123” on the effect display device S40. Execute the process to erase.
It may be configured as described above. As described above, in the game in which the push order navigation is executed, when a stop button that is not the correct push order is operated, all reels (or stop buttons) are operated on the sub-control board S side. While the push order navigation corresponding to is deleted, the main control board M side is configured to maintain the display of the push order navigation. The push order navigation on the main control board M side (push order navigation by the push order display device D270) is for detecting the operation of the third stop button as an interrupt process on the main control board M side during the third stop operation. It is configured to be erased when it detects that the sensor has turned from on to off).

<< Configuration related to reel control and push order navigation >>
Next, the configuration related to the reel stop control and the display control of the push order navigation (effect display device S40) will be described. In the game, if the player has won the predetermined push order bell and the stop operation is performed in the order of "middle->left->right", it is most advantageous to the player (for example, the number of payouts is large). (When winning "Prize-A3") is illustrated.

<Structure 1>
First, in the upper left diagram of FIG. 109, the instruction game related to the push order bell is executed in the AT state, and "213" is displayed as the push order navigation on the effect display device S40. The middle stop button is pressed at the timing when the 11th replay symbol is located in the middle of the middle reel, and the display corresponding to the push order navigation "1" of the middle reel changes to the push order navigation disappearance effect. The middle reel stop button is still being pressed. Further, the middle reel is controlled so as to stop the symbols constituting the symbol combination that is the maximum number of 11 cards to be paid out by the stop operation of the middle reel, which is the correct push order. In this example, the 15th bell is configured to stop at the middle stage (effective line) of the middle reel. That is, when the middle stop button is operated at this timing, the maximum number of frames (4 frames in this example) is slipped from the 11th replay A, and the 15th bell is stopped and displayed on the winning line. Control is performed to make it.

Here, the operation control of the stepping motor from the stop operation to the stop of the reel will be described with reference to FIG. 35. For example, at the timing when the reel stop operation is performed, the transition from the reel constant speed state (4) in FIG. 35 <reel rotation speed image> to the reel deceleration standby state (5). In this reel deceleration standby state, the distance between the position where the stop operation is performed and the position of the symbol constituting the symbol combination related to the condition device won in the game is calculated, and a predetermined period (for example, within 190 ms) is calculated. By determining that it is possible to stop and display the symbols constituting the symbol combination related to the conditional device won in the game on the winning line, the symbol combination related to the conditional device won in the game is configured. Continue the rotation so that the symbol is stopped and displayed. Then, at the timing when the symbols constituting the symbol combination related to the condition device won in the game reach the winning line, the reel deceleration state of (6) is transitioned and the reel stop state of (7) is controlled. To do.

After that, as shown in the upper right corner of FIG. 109, in the effect display device S40, the push order navigation disappearance effect of the middle reel is erased (display ends), and the middle reel stops and displays the 15th bell on the winning line. The slip control is continued in order to make it. The middle stop button is being pressed. Next, as shown in the lower left of FIG. 109, the effect display device S40 changes the display mode to highlight the push order navigation corresponding to the reel on which the stop operation should be performed next. The display mode that changes at this time may be any mode as long as the player can recognize the stop button to be stopped (significantly changing the number, moving the number, making the number shine, etc.). ). On the other hand, the middle reel continues the sliding control in order to stop and display the 15th bell on the winning line. The middle reel stop button is being pressed. The timing for changing the display mode to highlight the push order navigation corresponding to the reel on which the stop operation should be performed may be before the push order navigation disappearance effect is erased (display ends) or the push order. It may be after the navigation disappearance effect is erased (display end), or at the same time as the push order navigation disappearance effect is erased (display end).

After that, after the middle stop button has been pressed for a predetermined time, the 15th bell on the middle reel is stopped and displayed on the winning line. The predetermined time here is the time during which the maximum slip control of the middle reel is performed (for example, during 190 ms). As described above, in this example, when the stop operation is performed according to the push order navigation, the stop operation is performed before the reel on which the stop operation is performed is displayed as a stop (before the next stop button operation becomes effective). It is configured so that the push order navigation corresponding to the reel in which the above is performed can be deleted, and the display mode of the push order navigation corresponding to the reel to be stopped next can be changed.

Here, as an example that can be carried out in this example, the case where the stop operation is performed at the position where the maximum number of frames slips occurs has been described. For example, the symbols constituting the push order combination can be stopped at 0 frame slides. When the stop operation is performed at the position, the timing for changing the display mode to highlight the push order navigation corresponding to the reel to which the stop operation should be performed is after the reel is stopped and displayed. Even if the number of frames is 0, the display mode highlights the push order navigation corresponding to the reel on which the next stop operation should be performed before the timing when the next stop button operation becomes effective. It is configured to change. With this configuration, even if the number of frames is 0, the stop button will be operated after recognizing the reel to be stopped next, and the player will mistakenly perform the stop operation in the pressing order. Can be prevented. In addition, it is more preferable that the timing for changing the push order navigation corresponding to the reel to which the next stop operation should be performed to the display mode for highlighting is earlier, and even in the case of 0 frame slip, the timing should be as early as possible. Is preferable.

Further, in this example, the push order bell has been described as an example, but it can be applied not only to the push order bell but also to all the condition devices that generate the push order navigation. Further, as the effect means for notifying the pressing order, lighting by the reel window frame lamp D310 or the sound output from the speaker S20 may be used. For example, when the push order navigation using the sound output from the reel window frame lamp D310 or the speaker S20 is included, the display mode of the push order navigation corresponding to the next reel is changed before the effect display device S40 is changed. Execute push order navigation corresponding to the next reel (If the reel window frame lamp D310, the lamp corresponding to the next reel is turned on, and if it is voice, the dialogue corresponding to the next reel is output as voice). It is possible to configure.

Further, as the configuration related to << Reel control and push order navigation >> in this example, the push order navigation by the effect display device S40 has been described as an example of the effect means for executing the push order navigation. For example, even if the reel window frame lamp D310, the voice, and the stop button D40 (left stop button D41, middle stop button D42, right stop button D43) are configured to include the push order navigation by the stop button lamp S60 provided inside. Good. Push-order navigation by the reel window frame lamp D310 is executed by turning on (blinking) and turning off the reel window frame lamp, and push-order navigation by voice is "left", "right", and "middle" from the speaker S20. Is executed by outputting, and the push order navigation by the stop button lamp S60 provided inside the stop button D40 (left stop button D41, middle stop button D42, right stop button D43) is the left stop button corresponding to the reel. It is executed by turning on (blinking) and turning off D41.

For example, in the configuration related to << reel control and push-order navigation >> in this example, the reel window frame lamp D310, voice, and stop button D40 (left stop button D41, middle stop button D42, right stop button D43). ) Is included
(1) Reel window frame lamp D310
(1-1) Turn off the lamp corresponding to the reel on which the stop operation was performed (1-2) Turn on the lamp corresponding to the reel on which the stop operation should be performed (2) Voice (2-1) Next Audio output corresponding to the reel on which the stop operation should be performed (3) Stop button D40
(3-1) Turn off the lamp corresponding to the reel on which the stop operation is performed (3-2) Turn on the lamp corresponding to the reel on which the stop operation should be performed (4) Effect display device S40
(4-1) Display the push order disappearance effect corresponding to the reel on which the stop operation was performed (display end)
(4-2) Change in display mode for highlighting push order navigation corresponding to the reel on which the stop operation should be performed Next. The configuration related to push order navigation for each effect means can be specified as described above. The order in which these configurations (1-1) to (4-2) are executed may be determined in any way. For example, the execution order may be determined for each effect means (for example, the processing is performed in the order of reel window frame lamp → sound → stop button → effect display device), or the execution order may be determined for each reel. Alternatively, (as an example, processing is performed in the order of processing related to the reel on which the stop operation is performed → processing related to the reel on which the stop operation should be performed next), or a combination of these may be configured.

Further, in this example, as << configuration related to reel control and push order navigation >>, the description was given with reference to FIG. 109, and in FIG. 109, the case where the first stop operation was performed was described as an example. The configuration to which this example can be applied is not limited to the first stop operation. For example, when the second stop operation is performed, it is applicable even when the third stop operation is performed. At the time of the third stop operation, the process corresponding to the reel to which the stop operation should be performed next (for example, the change to the "display mode for highlighting the push order navigation" in the effect display device S40, the reel window frame lamp The process of "lighting of the lamp corresponding to the reel to which the stop operation should be performed next") in D310 is not executed.

<Effect>
With this configuration, even when the stop button is operated according to the push order navigation and the reel corresponding to the stop button executes the stop control accompanied by the sliding of the maximum number of frames, the effect display device S40. End of push order navigation display corresponding to the stop button (from start to end of display of disappearance effect), and change of display mode of push order navigation display corresponding to the stop button to be stopped next (start of highlighting) Can be executed before the next stop button operation becomes effective, so that it is possible to prevent the player from accidentally operating the stop button before recognizing the stop button to be stopped next. ..

<<<<<< Third embodiment medal addition processing by input sensor >>>>
Next, as a third embodiment, the timing of the process of adding the game medals inserted into the medal insertion slot D170 as credits will be described (see FIG. 113). The game medals inserted from the medal insertion slot D170 pass through the insertion reception sensor D10s in the medal selector DS, which is the path of the game medals, and the predetermined passing conditions (the passing game medals satisfy the standard). If the condition (such as not being determined to be an error) is satisfied, the game medal flows downward through the medal flow path DR in the medal selector DS without causing an error. A first input sensor D20s and a second input sensor D30s are provided further behind the input reception sensor D10s, and a game medal that satisfies the dimensional standard and is accepted receives the first input sensor D20s and the second input sensor D30s. When passing, if it is determined that the inserted game medal is normally inserted, the inserted game medal is detected as a bet medal, and credit addition can be performed. When the game medal passes, the first insertion sensor D20s and the second insertion sensor D30s detect the insertion of the game medal, and the signal (information on the timing at which the first insertion sensor D20s is turned on, the first insertion sensor D20s is sent. Information on the time from when it is turned on to when it is turned off, information on when the second input sensor D30s is turned on, information on the time when the second input sensor D30s is turned on and when it is turned off, etc.) It is supplied to the main control board M. Here, the timing at which credit addition can be performed can be determined by the on / off status of each of the first input sensor D20s and the second input sensor D30s.

<<< Timing chart for detecting game medals by the input sensor >>>
FIG. 110 is a timing chart when the game medal passes through the first insertion sensor D20s and the second insertion sensor D30s. For example, it is assumed that the first insertion sensor D20s detects the passage (off → on) of the game medal at the timing of 1 in the figure. Subsequently, it is assumed that the second insertion sensor D30s detects the passage (off → on) of the game medal at the timing of 2 in the figure. The time information and the like related to these timings are supplied to the main control board M as the above-mentioned signals. Subsequently, it is assumed that the first insertion sensor D20s finishes detecting the game medal (on → off) at the timing of 3 in the figure. Here, the time A from the detection of the game medal by the first input sensor D20s to the end of the detection of the game medal is calculated by the main control board M, and A is within a predetermined range (in the third embodiment, If 4 ms ≦ A <183 ms), it is determined that the passage of the game medal is normally detected. Further, the time B from the detection of the game medal by the second insertion sensor D30s to the end of the detection by the first insertion sensor D20s is calculated by the main control board M, and B is within a predetermined range (2ms ≦ B <. If it is 115 ms), it is determined that the passage of the game medal is normally detected. After that, it is assumed that the second insertion sensor D30s finishes detecting the game medal (on → off) at the timing of 4 in the figure. The time C from the detection of the game medal by the second insertion sensor D30s to the end of detection by the second insertion sensor D30s is calculated by the main control board M, and C is within a predetermined range (4ms ≦ C <183ms). If so, it is determined that the passage of the game medal is normally detected. In this way, it is determined whether the game medal has normally passed through the medal selector DS at the timing when the first insertion sensor D20s and the second insertion sensor D30s are turned on or off, and further, the first insertion sensor The game medals inserted at any timing when the D20s and the second insertion sensor D30s are turned on or off are detected as bet medals, and credits are added.

<<< Example of medal addition processing by the insertion sensor >>>
<< Configuration 1 >>
Next, in the third embodiment, an example of the timing at which the inserted game medal is detected as a bet medal and the credit addition is performed will be described in detail. 11 to 112 are flowcharts reflecting the processing at the credit addition timing in the third embodiment in the game progress control processing according to the subroutine of step 1200. FIG. 113 is an image diagram of the timing at which credit addition is performed when the insertion process is normally executed for the inserted game medals. In the flowchart of FIG. 111, the description of the same content as that of FIG. 17 will be omitted (steps 1220 to 1225 and after step 1232). First, in FIG. 111, in step 1226-1 (fourth), the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the blocker D100 is on. In the case of Yes in step 1226-1 (4th), in step 1226-2 (4th), the CPUC100 of the main control board M has the first input sensor D20s on and the second input sensor D30s off. (Image from the upper middle of FIG. 113) The first insertion sensor D20s is turned off → on at the timing when the game medal approaches the first insertion sensor D20s). In the case of Yes in step 1226-2 (fourth), in step 1226-3 (fourth), whether or not the CPUC100 of the main control board M has the first input sensor D20s on and the second input sensor D30s on. Judgment is made (image diagram by the upper right corner of FIG. 113, the second insertion sensor D30s is turned off → on at the timing when the game medal approaches the second insertion sensor D30s). In the case of Yes in step 1226-3 (fourth), in step 1226-6 (fourth), whether or not the CPUC100 of the main control board M is the first input sensor D20s off and the second input sensor D30s on. Judgment (image diagram by the lower left of FIG. 113, the first insertion sensor D20s is turned on → off at the timing when the game medal exceeds the detection range of the first insertion sensor D20s). In the case of Yes in step 1226-6 (4th), in step 1226-8 (4th), the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines that the insertion of one normal game medal has been accepted, and the credit addition process is performed. Will be done. Further, in step 1226-9 (fourth), the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the first input sensor D20s is off and the second input sensor D30s is off (image diagram game according to the lower middle stage of FIG. 113). The second insertion sensor D30s turns on and off when the medal exceeds the detection range of the second insertion sensor D30s). In the case of Yes in step 1226-9 (4th), it is determined that the insertion of one normal game medal is completed, and for example, when the number of bets satisfies the specified number, the operation of the start lever D50 is valid. Processing such as setting is executed, and the process proceeds to step 1232.

<Effect 1>
In the third embodiment, an example of executing the credit addition process at the timing when the first input sensor D20s is off and the second input sensor D30s is on has been described. Conventionally, the credit addition process is executed at the timing when "the first input sensor D20s is off and the second input sensor D30s is on → the first input sensor D20s is off and the second input sensor D30s is off". However, by configuring as in the third embodiment, for example, in the state where the first input sensor D20s is off and the second input sensor D30s is on, the credit addition process has not yet been performed, but an error occurs at this timing. If this happens, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines that an error has occurred, and an execution process of a predetermined medal insertion error process (for example, the blocker D100 is turned off and the blocker D100 refunds the game medal to the discharge port D240) is performed. It is possible to prevent the game medal from getting into the game machine (swallowing) even though the credit addition process is not executed in time.

<Effect 2>
Further, since the credit addition process is not executed at the timing when the second insertion sensor D30s remains off and only the first insertion sensor D20s is turned on, the position closer to the medal insertion slot 170 than the second insertion sensor D30s. It is also possible to prevent a goto action (for example, Clemangoto) by the first input sensor D20s provided in the above, and it is possible to provide an illegally strong gaming machine, and by extension, a user-friendly gaming machine.

<<< Subroutine due to input sensor error in the third embodiment >>>
If No in Step 1226-3 (4th), Step 1226-6 (4th), and Step 1226-9 (4th), Step 1226-4 (4th) and Step 1226-7 (4th) In step 1226-10 (fourth), the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the condition for generating a predetermined medal insertion error is satisfied. The medal insertion error here includes, for example, an insertion medal backflow error, an insertion number error, an insertion medal retention error, and the on / off status (including time) of sensors such as the first insertion sensor and the second insertion sensor. Based on, it is determined whether or not any error has occurred (occurrence conditions differ depending on the type of error). These errors are detected, for example, based on the on / off detection of the first closing sensor D20s and the second closing sensor D30s in FIG. 110. If Yes in any of Step 1226-4 (4th), Step 1226-7 (4th), and Step 1226-10 (4th), the medal insertion error processing is executed in Step 1226-5 (4th). Will be done. FIG. 112 is a flowchart relating to a subroutine when a medal insertion error occurs. First, in step 1226-12 (fourth), the CPUC100 of the main control board M detects which error flag is on, and in step 1226-13 (fourth), the error detection command (to the sub side). (For example, a command related to the fact that an error has been detected) is set (for example, set in the register area), and the process proceeds to step 1226-14 (fourth). In addition, in 1226-13 (fourth), the information relating to the error corresponding to the error flag which is turned on (the error currently occurring) is configured to be transmitted to the sub-control board side. In addition, the error undetected command may be set only when the error is cleared from the state in which the error occurred (only when it is determined that the flag is turned off), and when the error is not detected, the command is applicable. It is not necessary to execute the information setting process. Error processing will be executed according to the type of error that has occurred, but the error detection command may execute set processing only when any error occurs from the state where no error has occurred. , Even if the set process is executed when the type of error changes from the state in which the first error (for example, the inserted medal retention error) has occurred to the second error (for example, the payout medal retention error). Good. In step 1226-14 (fourth), the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the currently occurring error has been cleared. When it is determined that the error has been cleared, the error flag currently occurring in step 1226-15 is turned off, and the subroutine ends. As described above, an example of error detection based on the detection of game medals by the first insertion sensor D20s and the second insertion sensor D30s has been described. In the error detection, for example, the medal insertion slot D170 in the medal selector DS has been described. It is also possible to detect an error based on the detection of the game medal of the insertion reception sensor D10s provided in the vicinity, and an example of error detection based on the detection of the game medal of the insertion reception sensor D10s will be described below. ..

<<< Error detection based on the input monitoring counter in the third embodiment >>>
<< Configuration 2 >>
The insertion reception sensor D10s is provided as a first sensor through which the game medals inserted from the medal insertion slot D170 pass. The insertion reception sensor D10s has a function of selecting game medals inserted from the medal insertion slot D170 mainly based on the dimensions and accepting only game medals conforming to the standard dimensions, and it is determined that the insertion reception sensor D10s does not conform to this function. The medals (or other foreign matter) that have been awarded are configured to be refunded to the outlet D240 by the blocker D100. At this time, when it is determined that the matching game medal has passed, the input reception sensor D10s is changed from off to on, and the signal is supplied to the main control board M. When the main control board M receives the signal that the insertion reception sensor D10s is turned on, the main control board M performs an addition process from 0 to 1 by a counter (hereinafter, referred to as an insertion monitoring counter) that counts the passage of game medals. Then, the main control board M monitors the insertion at the timing when the game medal flows down the path in the medal selector DS and the second insertion sensor D30s is turned from on to off (corresponding to the timing of 4 in FIG. 110). The counter performs subtraction processing from 1 to 0. At this time, for example, if some problem occurs with respect to the insertion of game medals in the period from 1 to 4 in the timing chart of FIG. 110, the game medal counting process of the insertion monitoring counter will not be performed normally. .. For example, when the second insertion sensor D30s does not turn from on to off, the insertion monitoring counter is not subtracted, and the insertion monitoring counter continues to be added, the insertion medal retention error can be detected. Further, when the second closing sensor D30s is turned on and off before the closing reception sensor D10s and the closing monitoring counter is subtracted first, the closing monitoring counter becomes negative. Inserted medal backflow error can be detected.

<Effect>
In this way, the error determination can be performed based on the detection of the game medal by the three sensors of the first insertion sensor D20s, the second insertion sensor D30s, and the insertion reception sensor D10s, thereby relating to the insertion of the game medal. It is possible to reliably detect various errors, provide an illegally strong gaming machine, and eventually provide a user-friendly gaming machine.

<<< Output of medal insertion sound in the third embodiment >>>
In the third embodiment, the output timing of the medal insertion sound output after detecting the inserted game medal as a bet medal will be described in detail. In the third embodiment, an example of executing the credit addition process at the timing when the first input sensor D20s is off and the second input sensor D30s is on has been described. However, the first input sensor D20s is off and the second input sensor D20s is on. An error may occur when the sensor D30s is on (for example, an insertion medal retention error due to an abnormally long turn-on time of the second insertion sensor D30s). In the third embodiment, the credit addition process is executed at the timing when the first input sensor D20s is off and the second input sensor D30s is on. Therefore, for example, it is assumed that an error occurs after the credit addition process is executed. To. In the third embodiment, the output timing of the medal insertion sound output after the credit addition processing and the error sound output from the speaker S20 due to the error detection by the second insertion sensor D30s will be described.

<< Configuration 3 >>
First, as the timing A, the medal insertion sound is configured to be output before the error sound output from the speaker S20 due to the error detection by the second insertion sensor D30s. More specifically, according to the timing chart of FIG. 110, subtracting 115 ms, which is the upper limit of B, from 183 ms, which is the upper limit of the period of C, gives 68 ms. That is, in this period, the CPUC100 of the main control board M "sets the command related to the medal insertion reception → the medal insertion reception → sends the command to the sub control board side → sets the error detection command (if there is an error)". By executing the process as described above, the medal insertion sound can be output before the error sound output from the speaker S20 due to the error detection by the second insertion sensor D30s.

<< Configuration 4 >>
As a modification of the timing A, the timing of the credit addition process may be different. That is, the CPUC100 of the main control board M processes "set a command related to medal insertion reception-> execute credit addition processing-> send a command to the sub-control board side-> set an error detection command (if there is an error)". May be done.

<Effect>
With this configuration, the medal insertion reception is accepted at the timing when "the first insertion sensor D20s is on and the second insertion sensor D30s is on → the first insertion sensor D20s is off and the second insertion sensor D30s is on". This process is executed, and the subsequent timer interrupt process sends a command related to medal insertion reception from the main control board M side to the sub control board S side, and the medal insertion sound is output on the sub control board S side. .. On the other hand, if the above-mentioned "first insertion sensor D20s is off and second insertion sensor D30s is on" continues and an insertion medal retention error occurs, the insertion medal is inserted after the medal insertion sound has already been output. Since it is determined that a retention error has occurred (because the first input sensor D20s is off and the second input sensor D30s is on for a predetermined time or longer), the player outputs an error sound related to the insertion medal retention error. It is possible to confirm the medal insertion sound before, and it is possible to prevent a situation in which the player is worried that the game medal may not be inserted normally due to the insertion medal retention error and the loss may have occurred.

<< Configuration 5 >>
Next, as the timing B, the medal insertion sound is configured to be output after the error sound output from the speaker S20 due to the error detection by the second insertion sensor D30s. It is determined that there is at least 67 ms or more from the time when the credit addition process is performed until the error is detected by the second input sensor D30s, but during this period, the CPUC100 of the main control board M intentionally determines. , The command related to the medal insertion reception is not transmitted to the sub control board side. After that, an error detection command based on error detection by the second insertion sensor D30s is set, and then a command related to medal insertion reception is transmitted to the sub-control board side. That is, the CPU 100 of the main control board M "executes credit addition processing-> detects error flag-> sets error detection command-> sends error detection command to sub-control board side-> sets command related to medal insertion reception-> sub-control By configuring the process to execute the process such as "send the command related to the acceptance of medal insertion to the board side", the medal insertion sound is made after the error sound output from the speaker S20 by the error detection by the second insertion sensor D30s. It becomes possible to output. At this time, it is preferable that the command related to the medal insertion reception is transmitted to the sub side by a timer interrupt processing different from that when the error detection command is transmitted.

<< Configuration 6 >>
As a modification of the timing B, the timing of the credit addition process may be different. That is, the CPUC100 of the main control board M "detects an error flag-> sets an error detection command-> sends an error detection command to the sub-control board side-> sets a command related to medal insertion reception-> executes a credit addition process-> sub-control A process of "sending a command related to acceptance of medal insertion to the board side" may be performed.

<Effect>
With this configuration, the first input sensor D20s is on and the second input sensor D30s is on → the first input sensor D20s is off and the second input sensor D30s is on. It is determined that a retention error has occurred (because the first input sensor D20s is off and the second input sensor D30s is on for a predetermined time or longer), and an error detection command is issued from the main control board M side to the sub control board S side. Is transmitted, and an error sound related to the insertion medal retention error is output. After that, after the process related to the medal insertion reception is executed, the command related to the medal insertion reception is transmitted from the main control board M side to the sub control board S side, and the medal insertion sound is output on the sub control board S side. It becomes. If the situation of "the first insertion sensor D20s is off and the second insertion sensor D30s is on" continues and an insertion medal retention error occurs, an insertion medal retention error occurs before the medal insertion sound is output. In order to determine that the medal has been inserted (because the first insertion sensor D20s is off and the second insertion sensor D30s is on for a predetermined time or longer), the player has an error related to the insertion medal retention error before the output of the medal insertion sound. The sound can be confirmed, and the player can immediately detect that the game medal has not been inserted normally.

<< Configuration 7 >>
Next, as the timing C, the medal insertion sound is output after the error sound output from the speaker S20 by the error detection by the second insertion sensor D30s, and is output after the error is cleared. It is determined that there is at least 67 ms or more from the time when the credit addition process is performed until the error is detected by the second input sensor D30s. During this period, the CPUC100 of the main control board M intentionally determines. , It is the same as the second timing that the command related to the medal insertion acceptance is not transmitted to the sub control board side, but after the CPUC100 of the main control board M turns off the insertion error flag in step 1226-15. It is configured to send a command related to medal insertion reception to the sub-control board side. That is, the CPU 100 of the main control board M "executes credit addition processing-> detects an error flag-> sets an error detection command-> sends an error detection command to the sub-control board side-> ... (error cancellation processing during this period).・ ・ → Set the error undetected command → Send the error undetected command to the sub control board side → Set the command related to the medal insertion reception → Send the command related to the medal insertion reception to the sub control board side ” By configuring to execute, it is possible to output the medal insertion sound after canceling the error.

<< Configuration 8 >>
As a modification of the timing C, the timing of the credit addition process may be different. That is, the CPUC100 of the main control board M "detects an error flag-> sets an error detection command-> sends an error detection command to the sub-control board side-> ... (error cancellation processing during this period) ...-> error not detected. Set the command → Send the error undetected command to the sub control board side → Set the command related to the medal insertion reception → Execute the credit addition process → Send the command related to the medal insertion reception to the sub control board side ” May be good.

<Effect>
With this configuration, the first input sensor D20s is on and the second input sensor D30s is on → the first input sensor D20s is off and the second input sensor D30s is on. It is determined that a retention error has occurred (because the first input sensor D20s is off and the second input sensor D30s is on for a predetermined time or longer), and an error detection command is issued from the main control board M side to the sub control board S side. Is transmitted, and an error sound related to the insertion medal retention error is output. After the error is resolved, an error undetected command is sent to the sub side, and the error sound related to the inserted medal retention error is terminated. Then, after the process related to the medal insertion reception is executed, the command related to the medal insertion reception is transmitted from the main control board M side to the sub control board S side, and the medal insertion sound is output on the sub control board S side. It becomes. If the situation of "the first insertion sensor D20s is off and the second insertion sensor D30s is on" continues and an insertion medal retention error occurs, an insertion medal retention error occurs before the medal insertion sound is output. The player determines that the error has been made (because the first input sensor D20s is off and the second input sensor D30s is on for a predetermined time or longer), and the error is further resolved to end the output of the error sound. Since the error sound related to the inserted medal retention error can be confirmed before the output of the medal insertion sound, and the medal insertion sound can be confirmed after the error is resolved, the player can normally confirm the medal insertion sound after the error is resolved. It is possible to recognize that a game medal has been inserted.

<<< Third Embodiment Medal error detection by shoot sensor >>>
Next, as a third embodiment, error detection using the shoot sensor D40s will be described in detail. FIG. 114 shows a medal flow path member (referred to as a shoot body in the third embodiment) after passing through the first insertion sensor D20s and the second insertion sensor D30s in the path of the game medal in the medal selector DS. It is a figure. In FIG. 114, a shoot sensor D40s is provided below the first insertion sensor D20s and the second insertion sensor D30s, and the shoot sensor D40s is a normal medal insertion like the first insertion sensor D20s and the second insertion sensor D30s. In particular, in the third embodiment, it is configured to detect an error (for example, a inserted medal retention error, an inserted medal backflow error, etc.) after the credit addition process has already been executed. ing.

The error detection by the shoot sensor D40s will be described in detail. For example, consider a case where game medals are retained further downstream of the shoot sensor D40s in the shoot body communicating with the hopper H40. The width of the path of the game medals in the shoot body is approximately the width of one game medal, and when one game medal stays in the path of the game medals in the shoot body, the game medals that pass through the path after that are one after another. And it will be in the state of the inserted medal retention error. In the third embodiment, the positions of three game medals are detected by the shoot sensor D40s from the position where the game medals are retained, but the position where the shoot sensor D40s is provided is not limited to this.

The detection of the game medal by the shoot sensor D40s is the same as the detection of the game medal by the first insertion sensor D20s and the second insertion sensor D30s. When the game medal passes, the shoot sensor D40s detects the signal (shoot sensor D40s). Information on the timing at which is turned on, information on the time from when the shoot sensor D40s is turned on to when it is turned off, etc.) is supplied to the main control board M. On the main control board M, game medals are normally inserted based on the information related to the signal detected by the shoot sensor D40s and the information related to the signal detected by the first input sensor D20s and the second input sensor D30s. Is determined. Specifically, the period from the timing when the first input sensor D20s or the second input sensor D30s starts to detect the game medal to the timing when the shoot sensor D40s starts to detect the game medal on the main control board M, and in advance. Compare with the specified period (the time that the shoot sensor D40s should detect, also referred to as the theoretical period). For example, in the case of detecting the fourth game medal in FIG. 114, the fourth game medal from the timing when the fourth game medal is detected by the first insertion sensor D20s or the second insertion sensor D30s. Is compared with the theoretical period until it is detected by the shoot sensor D40s, and when the difference between the periods exceeds the range not detected as an error, an error (shoot sensor medal in the third embodiment) (Stay error) will be detected. The timing when the first insertion sensor D20s detects the game medal, the timing when the second insertion sensor D30s starts the detection of the game medal, or the timing when the first insertion sensor D20s finishes the detection of the game medal, the second insertion sensor Any of the timings at which the D30s finishes detecting the game medal may be set as the start timing of the theoretical period.

<< Third embodiment Timing chart for detecting game medals by shoot sensor >>
FIG. 115 is a timing chart when the game medal passes through the first insertion sensor D20s, the second insertion sensor D30s, and the shoot sensor D40s. For example, it is assumed that the first insertion sensor D20s detects the passage (off → on) of the game medal at the timing of 1 in the figure. Subsequently, it is assumed that the second insertion sensor D30s detects the passage (off → on) of the game medal at the timing of 2 in the figure. The time information and the like related to these timings are supplied to the main control board M as the above-mentioned signals. After that, it is assumed that the shoot sensor D40s detects the passage (off → on) of the game medal at the timing of 3 in the figure. The period D from the detection of the game medal by the first insertion sensor D20s to the start of detection by the shoot sensor D40s, and the period from the detection of the game medal by the second insertion sensor D30s to the start of detection by the shoot sensor D40s. E is calculated by the main control board M, and with these periods as theoretical periods, it is determined whether or not the game medal based on the detection of the shoot sensor D40s normally passes through the shoot body. Further, an error that may occur after it is determined that the game medal has normally passed the first insertion sensor D20s and the second insertion sensor D30s can be detected by including the shoot sensor D40s.

<Effect>
With this configuration, for example, some error related to the passage of the game medal near the shoot sensor D40s (shoot sensor medal retention error) is detected, and the player is notified that an error has occurred. Is possible. Further, since the normal passage of the game medal by the shoot sensor D40s is determined based on the information related to the timing at which the detection of the game medal by the first insertion sensor D20s and the second insertion sensor D30s is started, the first insertion is performed. Although the passage of the game medal is not detected by the sensor D20s and the second insertion sensor D30s, when the passage of the game medal is detected by the shoot sensor D40s, that is, an error related to the backflow of the insertion medal can be reliably detected. It becomes possible to provide a game machine that is resistant to fraud, and by extension, a user-friendly game machine.

<<<<<< 4th Embodiment Medal Return Member >>>>>
Next, as a fourth embodiment, an example of the mechanism of the medal return member D340 through which the game medal passes when the game medal is paid out to the medal tray D230 or returned to the medal tray D230 will be described. ..

First, FIGS. 116 to 119 for explaining the medal return member D340 according to the fourth embodiment in detail will be described. FIG. 116 is a front view of the medal return member D340. FIG. 117 is a side view of the medal return member D340 as viewed from the direction in which the medal receiving port D341 (described later) is provided. FIG. 118 is a locus diagram of a game medal that is paid out from the medal payout device H of the hopper H40, passes through the medal receiving entrance D341 (described later), and flows down toward the medal receiving tray D230. FIG. 119 depicts the trajectory of the game medal inside the side view of FIG. 117.

<<< Front view of medal return member >>>
FIG. 116 is a front view of the medal return member D340 according to the fourth embodiment. As an example of the medal return member D340, a game medal (blocker is off) in which the addition process to the bet or credit is not executed by the medal selector DS that detects the medal inserted from the medal insertion slot D170 and performs simple authentication. When returning the game medal that reached the blocker to the medal tray D230, the game medal passes through a predetermined flow path (hereinafter referred to as the first flow path) and is paid out from the medal payout device H of the hopper H40. The game medals are configured to pass through a predetermined flow path (hereinafter referred to as a second flow path) and finally pay out the game medals to the medal tray D230.

The medal return member D340 passes through the first flow path through which an inappropriate game medal detected by the medal selector DS is returned to the medal tray D230, and the game medal paid out from the medal payout device H of the hopper H40. It is configured to have at least a second flow path, and the game medals that pass through the two flow paths pass through the medal return member D340 and join when flowing down toward the medal tray D230. It is configured.

The second flow path in the medal return member D340 is at least a medal receiving port D341 for receiving the game medals paid out from the hopper H40 and a medal falling surface D342 on which the game medals paid out from the medal payout device H of the hopper H40 fall. Is configured to have. Further, a medal non-drop surface D343 located opposite to the medal drop surface D342, a wall surface provided with a medal receiving port, and a medal drop surface D342 on which game medals paid out from the medal payout device H of the hopper H40 fall. It is configured to have a space surrounded by and, and a game medal paid out from the medal payout device H of the hopper H40 passes through this space.

The medal receiving port D341 is configured to communicate with the medal payout device H of the hopper H40. Further, since the medal receiving entrance D341 is open, the game medals paid out from the medal payout device H of the hopper H40 can surely pass through the medal receiving entrance D341. Further, in particular, in the fourth embodiment, the periphery of the opening of the medal receiving port D341 is referred to as an edge portion (for example, in the fourth embodiment, the outer peripheral portion in the shape of the opening of the medal receiving entrance D341 is referred to as an edge portion). ). In the regulation of the length and distance related to the medal receiving entrance D341, the starting point is any position corresponding to the edge of the medal receiving entrance D341.

Further, in the fourth embodiment, the shape of the medal falling surface D342 is formed in a substantially quadrangular shape, and the medal non-dropping surface D343 located opposite to the medal falling surface D342 is also formed in a substantially quadrangular shape. However, the shapes of the medal falling surface D342 and the medal non-dropping surface D343 are not limited to this.

In the fourth embodiment, the medal receiving entrance D341 is provided so as to be inclined in the downward-sloping direction, and the game medal that collides with the collision portion (not shown) provided in the front view direction of FIG. 116 falls. It is configured to be inclined substantially parallel to the medal falling surface D342. With this configuration, the game medal paid out from the medal payout device H of the hopper H40 and dropped on the medal falling surface D342 slides down from the medal falling surface D342 due to gravity, and the game medal is surely guided to the medal tray D230. It becomes possible to do. The direction in which the medal receiving entrance D341 and the medal falling surface D342 are inclined is not limited to this direction, and the medal receiving entrance D341 and the medal falling surface D342 may not be inclined together. The improper medal detected by the medal selector DS is configured to fall in the direction of the medal tray D230 from above when viewed from the player in the direction perpendicular to the inclination direction of the medal receiving entrance D341. ..

<<< Side view of the medal return member according to the fourth embodiment Trajectory view (perspective view) of the flow of the game medal >>>
Next, with reference to FIGS. 117 and 118, the dimensional definition in the configuration of the medal receiving member of the fourth embodiment will be described. FIG. 117 is a side view of the medal return member D340 as viewed from the direction in which the medal receiving port D341 is provided. First, in the game medal, the thickness and the diameter are defined as a and b, respectively (see FIG. 116). The thickness of the game medal, a, is preferably about 1.5 mm to 2.0 mm, and the diameter of the game medal, b, is preferably about 24.5 mm to 25.5 mm. is there.

Next, the distance from the medal falling surface D342 on which the game medal falls after being paid out from the medal payout device H of the hopper H40 to the edge of the medal receiving entrance D341 is c, which is perpendicular to the medal non-drop surface D343. The longest distance from the medal non-falling surface D342 in the direction to the edge of the medal reception is d, and at the edge of the opening of the medal reception D341, at least one direction (for example, the first) in the bottom or height direction. 4 In the embodiment, the length (in the height direction of the opening of the medal receiving port D341), which has a substantially rectangular shape, is e, and the maximum of the medal falling surface D342 in the direction perpendicular to the opening surface of the medal receiving port D341. The length is defined as f. In the fourth embodiment, predetermined conditions are provided in the dimensions defined in this way. For example, the medal return member D340 is configured based on the following conditions.
c ≧ a ... Equation (1)
b> d ... Equation (2)
f ≧ 2b ・ ・ Equation (3)
b> e ... Equation (4)
In the fourth embodiment, the game medal can be applied to either the 25Φ size or the 30Φ size.

First, by satisfying the equations (1) and (3), it is possible to prevent the first game medal and the second game medal from colliding with each other. The distance from the medal falling surface D342 to the bottom of the medal receiving entrance 341 is larger than the thickness a of the game medal, and the game medal paid out from the medal payout device H is transferred from the medal receiving entrance D341 to the collision portion. Since it has a sufficient distance before it collides, it falls freely under the weight of the game medal, and when the game medal that collides with the collision part falls on the medal falling surface D342 (the game medal is sleeping). In the state), the game medal to be paid out from the medal payout device H of the hopper H40 is out of the area through which the game medal passes, so that the collision can be prevented.

Next, the first game medal (whether the game medal is sleeping or standing) paid out from the medal payout device H of the hopper H40 by satisfying the formula (4), and then It is possible to configure so that the second game medal paid out to the player does not collide with the second game medal, and the game medal paid out from the medal payout device H of the hopper H40 does not block the medal receiving entrance D341. Is.

Next, by satisfying the equation (3), the depth of the medal falling surface D342 toward the inside of the game machine has a sufficient distance from the diameter of the game medal, and one piece that collides with the collision portion. It is possible to prevent the game medal of the eye from bouncing back to the medal entrance D341.

By defining the dimensions in the configuration of the medal return member D340 as in formulas (1) to (4), the smooth hopper H40 can pay out the game medals from the medal payout device H, and the smooth game medals can be paid out. It is possible to guide the saucer D230. FIG. 118 is a locus diagram of a game medal that is paid out from the medal payout device H of the hopper H40, passes through the medal receiving entrance D341, and flows down toward the medal receiving tray D230. For example, as an effect of defining the dimensions of the formulas (1) to (4), the first game medal paid out from the medal payout device H of the hopper H40 and the second game medal paid out after that. It is possible to configure the game medals so that they do not collide with medals and that the game medals paid out from the medal payout device H of the hopper H40 do not block the medal receiving entrance D341.

As shown in FIG. 117, in this example, a protruding edge is provided on the entire outer circumference of the medal receiving port D341 on the outer side of the medal return member D340, but the inner side of the medal return member D340. A protruding edge may be provided on the entire outer circumference of the medal receiving port D341. With such a configuration, it is possible to make it more unlikely that the game medal paid out from the medal payout device H collides with the collision portion and then flows back to the medal receiving port D341.

<<< Fourth Embodiment: Trajectory view (side view) of game medal flow >>>
In FIG. 118, the trajectory of the game medal that is paid out from the medal payout device H of the hopper H40, passes through the medal receiving entrance D341, and flows down toward the medal receiving tray D230 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 119. FIG. 119 depicts the trajectory of the game medal inside the side view of FIG. 117. First, as shown in the upper left figure, the first game medal is released from the medal receiving entrance D341. Next, as shown in the upper right figure, the second game medal is released from the medal entrance D341 in the same manner as the first game medal, and the first game medal is prepared in the front view direction of FIG. 116. It collides with a colliding part (not shown). The interval from the release of the first game medal from the medal receiving entrance D341 to the release of the second game medal can be determined by the rotation speed of the disk H50 of the medal payout device H. The rotation speed can be arbitrarily determined, but as shown in the upper right figure of the fourth embodiment, after the first game medal is paid out from the medal payout device H, the second game medal is a medal. It will be paid out from the payout device H, but the timing at which the second game medal is paid out from the medal payout device H is (1) substantially at the same time as the timing when the first game medal collides with the collision portion ( 2) The timing may be before (immediately before) the first game medal collides with the collision part, and (3) the timing may be after the first game medal collides with the collision part. The distance of f (see FIG. 117) may be adjusted according to the timing at which the game medal of the eye is paid out from the medal payout device H. Regarding (2) above, after the first game medal was paid out from the medal payout device H and passed through the medal receiving entrance D341, the first game medal proceeded horizontally by the diameter of the game medal (b) or more (above b). It is preferable to set the timing after (launched). Further, the timing at which the second game medal is paid out from the medal payout device H is the timing at which the time has elapsed since the first game medal was paid out from the medal payout device H. It is possible to reduce the possibility that the eye game medal and the second game medal collide with each other. On the other hand, if the time after the first game medal is paid out from the medal payout device H is too long, the interval between the game medal payout times becomes too long, and the tempo for paying out the game medal becomes too long. It gets worse. Further, since the internal size (depth) of the housing of the game machine is limited, the f (the maximum length of the medal falling surface D342 in the direction perpendicular to the opening surface of the medal receiving port D341) is also predetermined. It is difficult to secure more than the distance. For the above reasons, it is most preferable that the timing at which the second game medal is paid out from the medal payout device H is the timing immediately after the first game medal collides with the collision portion. With this configuration, it is possible to prevent the first game medal from colliding with the second game medal after colliding with the collision portion. It is desirable to configure the game medals to be paid out from the third and subsequent medals so that the game medals do not collide with each other. It is preferable to configure the game medals so that they do not collide with each other. The medals do not collide with each other in the first and second payouts, but even if the medals collide with each other in the second and third payouts, the medals are paid out in the return member D340. It is possible to create the effect that the game medals are less likely to be clogged. This means that in a game machine, paying out two cards occurs more frequently than paying out three cards. Further, the collision portion may be configured to be protected by, for example, metal in order to enhance the durability of the medal return member D340 due to collision of the game medal.

Next, as shown in the lower left row, after the first game medal collides with the collision portion, the medal falls on the medal falling surface D342. The second game medal passes above the first game medal and heads for the collision portion in the same manner as the first game medal. At this time, it is possible to prevent the first game medal and the second game medal from colliding with each other because the structure is as shown in the equation (1). Next, as shown in the lower right row, the first game medal that has fallen on the medal falling surface D342 is inclined in the inclined direction of the medal falling surface D342 due to gravity, and falls from the medal falling surface D342 to the medal tray D230. Is induced. After colliding with the collision portion, the second game medal falls on the medal falling surface D342 in the same manner as the first game medal. At this time, since the first game medal is configured to be tilted by gravity in the tilting direction of the medal falling surface D342, the first game medal and the second game medal collide with each other, and further. It is possible to prevent backflow in which medals that collide with the collision portion and bounce off enter the opening of the medal receiving port D341.

<< Effect 1 >>
The second game medal is discharged from the medal receiving entrance D341 toward the collision portion, and the first game medal falls on the medal drop surface D342 after colliding with the collision portion. At this time, the distance from the medal falling surface D342 to the bottom of the medal receiving entrance 341 is configured to be larger than the thickness a of the game medal, which is configured to satisfy the equations (1) and (3). In addition, since the game medal paid out from the medal payout device H has a sufficient distance from the medal receiving entrance D341 until it collides with the collision portion, the medal is freely dropped by the weight of the game medal. When the game medal that collided with the collision part falls on the medal drop surface D342 (the game medal is sleeping), the game medal to be paid out from the medal payout device H of the hopper H40 is out of the area through which the medal is passed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a collision.

<< Effect 2 >>
For example, by being configured as the equations (2) and (4), it is possible to prevent the backflow of medals that collide with the collision portion and bounce off the medals from entering the opening of the medal receiving port D341. Can be provided.

<< Effect 3 >>
For example, by being configured as in the equation (3), the depth of the medal falling surface D342 toward the inside of the game machine has a sufficient distance from the diameter of the game medal, and the medal collides with the collision portion1. It is possible to provide a game machine capable of preventing a situation in which the first game medal bounces back to the medal receiving entrance D341.

<< Effect 4 >>
The first game medal that has fallen on the medal falling surface D342 falls from the medal falling surface D342 and flows down toward the medal tray D230, and the second game medal is in the lower left diagram of FIG. 119. As described above, the first game medal falls on the medal falling surface D342 at substantially the same position as the dropped position. With this configuration, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the game medals paid out from the medal payout device H of the hopper H40 are not paid out to the medal tray D230 due to staying near the medal receiving entrance D341. A game machine can be provided.

<< Effect 5 >>
Provided is a game machine capable of preventing damage or deterioration of the medal return member D340 because it has a cushioning material that cushions the collision portion where the game medals paid out from the medal payout device H with speed collide. can do.

<< Effect 6 >>
The game medals paid out from the medal payout device H of the hopper H40 once collide with the collision part and lose the initial momentum of payout, so that the game medals collide with each other (the game medals returned from the medal selector DS and the hopper H40. A collision with a game medal paid out from the medal payout device H, or a collision between game medals paid out from the medal payout device H of the hopper H40, etc.) occurs, and the game medal flows down to the non-rhythmic medal tray D230. It is possible to prevent such a situation and provide a user-friendly game machine.

The collision portion where the game medals paid out from the medal payout device H collide may be a part of the front door DU, a part of the medal return member D340, or only the collision portion is separated. As a body member, it may be attached to the front door DU or the medal return member D340.

Further, in this example, the collision portion where the game medals paid out from the medal payout device H collide has a flat shape substantially perpendicular to the medal drop surface D342, but is paid out from the medal payout device H. It suffices if the game medals collide and the collided game medals flow down toward the medal tray D230. For example, the medal falling surface D342 has a curved shape and plays the same role as the collision portion. It may be configured to carry, or any surface or portion of the medal return member D340 may be curved to play the same role as the collision portion. Further, as described above, only the collision portion may be configured to be attached to the front door DU or the medal return member D340 as a separate member, and the collision portion may be configured to have a curved shape.

<<<<< Drive control of the medal payout device in the fifth embodiment >>>>>
<<< Timing chart of drive control of medal payout device >>>
Next, as a fifth embodiment, the drive control of the medal payout device H will be described. First, the operation control of the medal payout device H will be described with reference to FIG. 120. FIG. 120 is a timing chart relating to the detection of the hopper motor H80 driven when the game medal is paid out from the medal payout device H, and the first payout sensor H1 and the second payout sensor H2. The details of the first payout sensor H1 and the second payout sensor H2 will be described later, but for convenience of explanation, the first payout sensor H10s in FIG. 4 → the second payout sensor H2, and the second payout in FIG. 4 Sensor H20s → 1st payout sensor H1. At the initial position where the game medal is not paid out (initial position when the disc is not rotating), the 1st payout sensor H1: is on and the 2nd payout sensor H2: is off. It has become. First, in the hopper motor H80, it is assumed that the hopper drive flag is on when the hopper motor H80 is being driven. When the game medals are paid out by the medal payout device H, the hopper motor H80 is driven to rotate the disc H50 around the disc rotation shaft H50a, and the game medals in the medal payout device H are released by the release urging means H70. Is displaced and flows down from the game medal outlet H60 toward the discharge port D240, so that the game medal is paid out. In the fifth embodiment, the first payout sensor H1 and the second payout sensor H2 are detected to be on or off based on, for example, the displacement of the release urging means H70. Specifically, at the timing 1 in the figure, the first payout sensor H1 is turned on in a state where the release urging means H70 is not displaced to the position where the game medal is paid out (referred to as the initial position in the fifth embodiment). A signal indicating the state of is transmitted to the main control board M. Then, the displacement starts to the position where the release urging means H70 pays out the game medal, and the release urging means H70 starts to move from the initial position to mainly control the signal indicating that the first payout sensor H1 is in the off state. It is transmitted to the substrate M (the first payout sensor H1 is turned on → off). A signal indicating that the second payout sensor H2 is in the ON state by displacing the release urging means H70 to the position where the game medal is paid out (referred to as the payout position in the fifth embodiment) at the timing of 2 in the figure. Is transmitted to the main control board M (the second payout sensor H2 is turned off → on). Then, at the timing of 3 in the figure, the payout of the game medal is completed, and the release urging means H70 starts the displacement to the initial position again to mainly control the signal indicating that the second payout sensor H2 is in the off state. It is transmitted to the board M (the second payout sensor H2 is turned on → off). Then, at the timing of 4 in the figure, the release urging means H70 is displaced to the initial position again to transmit a signal indicating that the first payout sensor H1 is in the ON state to the main control board M (first payout sensor). H1 turns off → on). In the fifth embodiment, for example, the period from the timing 1 to the timing 2 is the predetermined range A (A <26 ms), and the period from the timing 2 to the timing 3 is the predetermined range B (9 ms ≦). B <60 ms), and by detecting that the period from the timing of 3 to the timing of 4 is within the predetermined range C (9 ms ≦ C <60), the medal payout device H is functioning normally and is normal. It is judged that various game medals will be paid out.

<<< 5th Embodiment Medal payout of medal payout device-Stop of medal payout device >>>
<< Configuration >>
Next, with reference to FIG. 121, a series of flow from the start of medal payout by the medal payout device H of the fifth embodiment to the stop of the medal payout device H will be described. First, although it is shown in FIG. 121, in the fifth embodiment, in order to briefly explain a series of flow from the payout of the game medal to the stop of the medal payout device H, medals unnecessary for the configuration of the fifth embodiment are described. The configuration related to the payout device H is eliminated as much as possible. FIG. 121 is a front view of the disc H50 that is rotationally driven when paying out game medals.

In the fifth embodiment, the number of game medals to be paid out from the medal payout device H is five. The disc H50 has a plurality of circular cavities that are larger in size than the game medal, and the disc H50 is configured to cover the game medal, and the game medal is formed by rotating the disc H50 under the disc H50. By moving, the game medal is paid out from the discharge port D240. First, in the upper left figure, the hopper motor H80 is in the state before being driven, and the first payout sensor H1 is in the on state. In the fifth embodiment, this state is set as the initial position in the release urging means H70, and for clarification of the explanation, the initial position (disk H50) before the rotation of the disk H50 is provided on the outer circumference of the disk H50. To do. This initial position (disc H50) is displaced in the rotational direction of the disc H50 each time a game medal is paid out. Further, in the fifth embodiment, the driving state of the hopper motor H80 is a constant speed state, and the description will be given from the timing of paying out the fourth game medal.

In the upper part of FIG. 121, the hopper motor H80 is driven by constant speed rotation, and the release urging means H70 is displaced from the initial position to the payout position to pay out the fourth game medal. At this time, it can be seen that at the initial position (disc H50), the third game medal is rotated by an angle A from the position where the third game medal is paid out. That is, when the driving state of the hopper motor H80 is a constant speed state, the disk H50 rotates by an angle A until the discharge urging means H70 is displaced from the initial position to the payout position. Further, the disk H50 does not rotate until the release urging means H70 is displaced from the discharge position to the initial position.

Next, in the lower left stage of FIG. 121, the hopper motor H80 is driven by constant speed rotation, and the release urging means H70 is displaced from the initial position to the payout position to pay out the fifth game medal. At this time, after paying out the fourth game medal, the release urging means H70 is displaced from the payout position to the initial position, but during this time, the disc H50 is not rotating, so the fourth game medal It can be seen that the game is rotated by an angle A from the position where the fourth game medal is paid out, as in the case of paying out.

Then, as shown in the lower right row, after the fifth game medal is paid out, the drive of the hopper motor H80 is turned off, and the game medal payout is completed. After turning off the drive of the hopper motor H80, the rotation of the disc H50 is stopped, but the initial position (disc H50) is a position deviated from the position where the fifth game medal is paid out by an angle B in the rotation direction. Stop. The reason for this configuration is that, especially when paying out the first game medal, the hopper motor H80 does not enter the constant speed state immediately after the start of driving, and it takes a predetermined time to reach the constant speed state. It takes. That is, when the first piece (the hopper motor H80 is in the acceleration state to the constant speed state) is paid out and the release urging means H70 is in the initial position, the second and subsequent pieces (the hopper motor H80 is in the constant speed state). Compared to the case where the game medal is paid out, the hopper motor H80 is delayed by the amount of the acceleration state.

Here, a detailed description will be given from the state in which the hopper motor H80 is stopped until the first game medal is paid out. When the hopper motor H80 is driven, the hopper motor H80 goes from a stopped state to a constant speed state via an acceleration state. Here, the rotation speed in the constant speed state is A (m / t). The acceleration state is a state in which acceleration processing is performed from speed 0 to constant speed A, and the average rotation speed in the period from speed 0 to constant speed state (acceleration state period) is B (m / t). ), B <A. Therefore, the average rotation speed C (m / t) from the state in which the hopper motor H80 is stopped until the first game medal is paid out is B <C <A.

Next, a detailed description will be given from the time when the first game medal is paid out to the time when the second game medal is paid out. Since the hopper motor H80 is in a constant speed state when the first game medal is paid out, it is in a constant speed state from the time when the first game medal is paid out until the second game medal is paid out. Will remain. Therefore, the average rotation speed from the time when the first game medal is paid out to the time when the second game medal is paid out is A.

As described above, the second game after the first game medal is paid out, rather than the average rotation speed C from the state where the hopper motor H80 is stopped until the first game medal is paid out. Since the average rotation speed A until the medals are paid out is faster, the distance that the disc H50 rotates from the state where the hopper motor H80 is stopped until the first game medal is paid out and the first game If the distance that the disc H50 rotates from the time the medal is paid out to the time the second game medal is paid out is the same distance, the first game from the state where the hopper motor H80 is stopped The time required for the medals to be paid out is longer than the time required for the second game medal to be paid out after the first game medal is paid out.

As shown in FIG. 121, in this example, after the final game medal (fifth game medal in the figure) is paid out as the game medal payout process, the disc H50 is set at a predetermined angle ( In the fifth embodiment, the engine is stopped by shifting in the rotation direction by the angle B) (the rotation distance becomes longer). With this configuration, the distance that the disc H50 rotates from the state where the hopper motor H80 is stopped until the first game medal is paid out is set to two after the first game medal is paid out. The distance that the disc H50 rotates before the eye game medal is paid out (the distance that the disc H50 rotates from the time the second game medal is paid out until the third game medal is paid out is the same distance, etc. ), And the time required from the state where the hopper motor H80 is stopped until the first game medal is paid out is the time required for the second game after the first game medal is paid out. The time required for the medals to be paid out can be approached (approximate), and by paying out the game medals at a good tempo, the player can proceed with the game without discomfort.

The width of the deviation (angle B) in the rotation direction when the disc H50 stops after the hopper motor H80 is driven, but this depends on the period from the acceleration state to the constant speed state due to the drive of the hopper motor H80. In this period, the disc H50 is released after the hopper motor H80 is driven by considering the difference between the width of the hopper motor H80 rotating in the accelerated state and the width of the hopper motor H80 rotating in the constant speed state. It will be determined how much to shift in the rotation direction from the initial position to stop. The difference between the width of the hopper motor H80 rotating in the accelerated state and the width of the hopper motor H80 rotating in the constant speed state corresponds to the discharge position of the release urging means H70 from the position corresponding to the initial position of the release urging means H70 of the hopper motor H80. It is preferable that the angle B is sufficiently smaller than the angle A because it is sufficiently smaller than the width to the position where the rotation is performed. It should be noted that even if the angle B deviates in the rotation direction, the detection of the game medal by the first payout sensor H1 and the second payout sensor H2 is not affected, and the timing chart of FIG. 120 shows. Based on this, the game medal is detected.

<< Effect >>
With this configuration, when a player who receives a game medal payout pays out a predetermined number of game medals, he / she can receive the game medal payout from the first card to the predetermined number of medals at substantially regular intervals. For example, by combining the configuration according to the fifth embodiment and the configuration according to the fourth embodiment, (1) game medals do not collide with each other, and (2) medal clogging due to collision between game medals does not occur. It can be configured and the game can proceed smoothly.

Further, after the final game medal is paid out, the disc H50 is configured to be displaced by a predetermined angle (angle B in the fifth embodiment) in the rotation direction to stop, so that the illegal device can be removed from the discharge port D240. It is possible to prevent a situation in which a game medal is illegally obtained by invading.

<<<<< 6th Embodiment Control when communication between the main control board and the sub control board is not possible >>>>>
Next, as a sixth embodiment, a process when communication between the main control board M and the sub control board S becomes impossible will be described. As a case where communication between the main control board M and the sub control board S becomes impossible, it is assumed that various commands set from the main control board M side to the sub control board S side cannot be transmitted. There is. In the game progress control process of FIG. 16, for example, in the game progress control process of FIG. 16, various commands related to the game are transmitted to the sub control board side based on the progress of the game, and as in step 1622 of FIG. In addition, as a process related to the subroutine, various commands are periodically sent from the main control board side to the sub control board side in a predetermined time (in this example, T is set, but for example, a time of about 2 ms is set). Is configured to send. The sub-control board S is configured to receive various commands transmitted from the main control board M and execute an effect based on the commands. The communication between the main control board M and the sub control board S is one-way from the main control board side, and the sub control board S can receive commands from the main control board M, but the main control board side. It is configured so that it is not possible to send commands to. The game machine has a program related to execution processing on each of the main control board M and the sub control board S (the program possessed by the main control board M is referred to as a main side program, and the program possessed by the sub control board S is referred to as a sub side program). For example, the sub-control board S is configured with a sub-side program so as to execute an effect triggered by receiving a predetermined command from the main control board M. That is, in a situation where the command cannot be received from the main control board M, the sub control board S cannot execute the process configured in the sub side program. When a situation may occur in which the sub-control board S cannot receive a command from the main control board M, for example, a member due to poor contact of a harness that electrically connects the main control board M and the sub-control board S. There may be a problem. However, even if communication between the main control board M and the sub control board S becomes impossible, it is possible to execute the main side program of the main control board M that controls the progress of the game. The game itself related to the main program can be executed even when communication with the sub control board S becomes impossible. Further, when communication is restored between the main control board M and the sub control board S from the situation where communication is disabled between the main control board M and the sub control board S, the progress of the program on the main side is changed. Based on this, a command related to processing after communication is restored is transmitted from the main control board side to the sub control board side, and the sub control board S is a command related to processing after communication received from the main control board M is restored. Performs processing based on. In the following, when communication with the sub-control board S becomes impossible while executing various commands on the main control board M using FIGS. 122 to 126, the main control board M and the sub An embodiment of the process performed on the control board S will be described as the sixth embodiment.

<<< 6th Embodiment When the processing command and channel are 1: 1 when the communication between the main control board and the sub control board is disconnected during the execution of the processing related to the settlement >>>
FIG. 122 shows the flow of processing in chronological order as an example of processing when communication between the main control board M and the sub control board S becomes impossible during the execution of the processing related to the settlement. First, it is assumed that the number of games is a predetermined number of games, starting from the N game, and processing is performed over the N + 1 games. Then, in the sixth embodiment, a command based on the progress of the game is transmitted to the sub-control board S as a process performed by the main control board M, and a command is received from the main control board M as a process performed by the sub-control board S. Executing the effect based on the command is one set of processing (in the sixth embodiment, the order is one). The sub-control board S does not execute the effect based on all the commands received from the main control board M, and may or may not execute the effect based on the received command. is there. For example, in FIGS. 122 to 126, the sub-control board S executes an effect for each command transmitted by the main control board M as an example, but when the effect is executed based on the reception of each command. It is supplemented that there are cases where the production is not performed. When the settlement button is operated to execute the settlement of the credit in the situation where one or more credits exist, the sound during the settlement corresponding to the settlement of the game medal is output from the speaker S20 from the speaker S20. However, it is assumed that the audio channel that outputs the sound being settled is a channel corresponding only to the sound being settled. For example, the sub-control board S executes the effect based on the command received from the main control board M. In particular, when executing the process of outputting the sound from the speaker S20, the sub-control board S receives from the main control board M. The command is associated with the audio channel of the speaker S20. That is, the sound is output from the speaker S20 from the sound channel corresponding to the received command. The command and the audio channel do not have to have a one-to-one relationship. Specifically, a plurality of commands (for example, a command related to the start of settlement, a plurality of commands related to a predetermined error detection, etc.) may be associated with one voice channel. With this configuration, even if the number of commands related to audio output increases, it is possible to configure the audio output without increasing the number of channels.

<< Configuration 1 >>
FIG. 122 will be described in detail. First, as the processing order 1, the main control board M transmits a command based on the start of settlement to the sub control board S. The sub-control board S outputs the sound being settled from the speaker S20 based on the received command. In << 6th Embodiment, when the processing command and channel are 1: 1 when the communication between the main control board and the sub control board is disconnected during the execution of the processing related to the settlement >>, the sound that outputs the sound during the settlement is output. It is assumed that the channel supports only the command related to the start of settlement, and does not support other commands. Then, while the sub-control board S is outputting the sound being settled, the communication between the main control board M and the sub-control board S is disconnected. At this time, for example, as a case where communication is disconnected, electricity between the main control board M and the sub control board S, such as a poor connection of a harness or the like that electrically connects the main control board M and the sub control board S, etc. The case where the communication is disconnected is not limited to this. Any case may be used as long as the electrical communication between the main control board M and the sub control board S is cut off. When the sub-control board S ends the output of the sound being settled, the main control board M executes the settlement process based on the detection of the operation of the settlement button, and the payment of the game medals for the number of credits is completed. By making a judgment, a command related to the end of settlement is transmitted to the sub-control board side, and the sub-control board S receives a command related to the end of settlement from the main control board M to output the sound during settlement. Execute the process to end.

In order 2, the main control board M transmits a command related to the end of settlement to the sub control board S, but since the communication between the main control board M and the sub control board S is disconnected, the main control board M is settled. The command related to the end of the above cannot be transmitted to the sub-control board S. At this time, since the sub-control board S cannot receive the command related to the end of the settlement from the main control board M, the output of the sound being settled is continued without ending the output of the sound being settled. While the main control board M executes the settlement process based on the detection of the operation of the settlement button and determines that the payout of the game medals for the number of credits has been completed, the main control board M and the sub-control The communication with the board S is disconnected, but the processing performed by the main control board M, which controls the progress of the game, is in progress.

The main control board M determines that the process related to the start of reel rotation has been completed, and sets a command related to the next process of the N game.

In order 6, it is assumed that the process related to the start of rotation of the reel is completed, and the player can perform the reel stop operation. By determining that the stop operation of the first reel (the first reel is the reel in which the player first performs the stop operation among the plurality of reels) has been accepted, the main control board M is set to the first reel. The command related to the stop operation reception is transmitted to the sub-control board S. The sub-control board S outputs a sound effect related to the reception of the first reel stop operation based on the reception of the command related to the reception of the first reel stop operation from the main control board M, while the main control board M is settled. Since the command related to the end cannot be received, the output of the sound being settled is continued without ending the output of the sound being settled. The main control board M determines that the process related to the reception of the first reel stop operation has been completed, and sets the command related to the next process of the N game.

In order 7, it is determined that the stop operation of the second reel (the second reel is the reel in which the player performs the second stop operation among the plurality of reels) is accepted, and the main control board M Sends a command related to the reception of the second reel stop operation to the sub-control board S. The sub-control board S outputs a sound effect related to the reception of the second reel stop operation based on the reception of the command related to the reception of the second reel stop operation from the main control board M, while the main control board M is settled. Since the command related to the end cannot be received, the output of the sound being settled is continued without ending the output of the sound being settled. The main control board M determines that the process related to the reception of the second reel stop operation has been completed, and sets the command related to the next process of the N game.

In order 8, it is determined that the stop operation of the third reel (the third reel is the reel in which the player performs the third stop operation among the plurality of reels) is accepted, and the main control board M Sends a command related to the reception of the third reel stop operation to the sub-control board S. The sub-control board S outputs a sound effect related to the reception of the third reel stop operation based on the reception of the command related to the reception of the third reel stop operation from the main control board M, while the main control board M is settled. Since the command related to the end cannot be received, the output of the sound being settled is continued without ending the output of the sound being settled. The main control board M determines that the process related to the reception of the third reel stop operation has been completed, and sets the command related to the next process of the N game. As a command set at this time, the stop operation of all reels is performed, and the command related to the stop of the stop display symbol transmitted immediately after the stop button is operated as the display symbol stop is taken as an example. As a command for the sub-control board S to output audio based on a command from the control board M, the winning combination (for example, the push order bell combination) in which the game medal is paid out in the N game is determined, and the reel stop operation is performed. Send a command related to the case where the symbol combination related to the winning condition device is stopped and displayed (referred to as a "command related to winning" in the sixth embodiment) (as a command for the next processing of the N game). It is also possible to configure to.

In order 9, the main control board M transmits a command relating to the stop of the stop display symbol to the sub control board S by determining that the stop operations of all the reels have been performed. Based on the reception of the command related to the stop of the stop display symbol, the sub control board S outputs the sound effect related to the command related to the stop of the stop display symbol, while the main control board M issues a command related to the end of settlement. Since it cannot be received, the output of the sound being settled is continued without ending the output of the sound being settled. The main control board M determines that the process related to the stop of the stop display symbol has been completed, and ends the process related to the N game. In the N game, the communication between the two is temporarily disconnected, so that the sub control board S cannot receive from the main control board M. At this time, the command that has not been received from the main control board M from the sub control board S is a command related to the end of the settlement, and is a command related to the end of the settlement, and is a period from the insertion of the game medal of the Nth game to the stop operation of all reels. It is configured to continue the output of the sound being settled without ending the output of the sound being settled.

Next, as the N + 1 game, the processing proceeds in order 10 and order 11. As the order 10, the main control board M transmits a command related to the start of settlement to the sub control board S as in the order 1 in the N game. The sub-control board S outputs the sound being settled from the speaker S20 based on the received command. At this time, the sound being settled output from the speaker S20 is output from the speaker S20 on the same channel as the sound being settled output in the N game, as described above. That is, by transmitting a command from the main control board M to the sub control board S based on the detection of the operation of the settlement button in the N + 1 game, the sub control board S setstles the N + 1 game received from the main control board M. Based on the command related to the start, the output of the sound during the settlement is started, while the output of the sound is terminated during the settlement related to the N game (as the process of the sub-control board S, the settlement related to the N game is being completed. Sound output → Receives a command related to the start of settlement related to the N + 1 game → Ends the output of the sound being settled for the N game → Starts the output of the sound being settled for the N + 1 game).

In order 11, the main control board M executes the settlement process based on the detection of the operation of the settlement button, determines that the payout of the game medals for the number of credits is completed, and issues a command related to the end of the settlement. It is transmitted to the sub control board side. Based on the received command, the sub-control board S executes a process of ending the output of the sound being settled for the N + 1 game.

<Effect 1>
With this configuration, for example, when the communication between the main control board M and the sub control board S is disconnected while executing the process accompanied by the sound output, the player can hear the voice. Since the output does not end, it is possible to provide a user-friendly game machine capable of recognizing that some problem has occurred in the game machine.

<Effect 2>
In addition, since the game is configured so that the game can proceed on the main control board M instead of stopping the game as an error, both players do not have to temporarily shut down the game machine due to an error response or the like. By returning the communication, it is possible to provide a user-friendly game machine capable of ending the audio output while advancing the game.

When the sub-control board S ends the output of the weight sound, the main control board M is started in a state in which it is ready to start the rotation of the reel based on the start lever operation (here, the reel rotation start standby state). By determining that (referred to as start), a command related to the start of the reel rotation start standby state is transmitted to the sub-control board S, and the sub-control board S receives the command related to the start of the reel rotation start standby state, thereby weighting. It is configured to perform a process that ends the sound output.

In order 2, the main control board M transmits a command related to the start of the reel rotation start standby state to the sub control board S, but since the communication between the main control board M and the sub control board S is disconnected, the main control board M is in a disconnected state. M cannot transmit a command related to the start of the reel rotation start standby state to the sub-control board S. At this time, since the sub control board S cannot receive the command related to the start of the reel rotation start standby state from the main control board M, the weight sound output is continued without ending the weight sound output. While the main control board M is executing the process related to the start of the reel rotation start standby state based on the detection of the start lever operation, the communication between the main control board M and the sub control board S is in the disconnected state. However, the processing performed by the main control board M that controls the progress of the game is in progress.

After the main control board M completes the process related to the start of the reel rotation start standby state based on the detection of the start lever operation, the communication between the main control board M and the sub control board S is restored. At this time, the sub-control board S has not received the command related to the start of the reel rotation start standby state from the main control board M, but the main control board M has completed the process related to the start of the reel rotation start standby state. Judging that, the command related to the next processing of the N game is set.

In order 3, the main control board M transmits a command related to the start of reel rotation to the sub control board S by determining that the reel rotation has started by operating the start lever. The sub-control board S outputs a sound effect related to the start of reel rotation based on the reception of the command related to the start of reel rotation from the main control board M, while the sub-control board S relates to the start of the reel rotation start standby state from the main control board M. Since the command cannot be received, the weight sound output is continued without ending the weight sound output. The main control board M determines that the process related to the start of reel rotation has been completed, and sets a command related to the next process of the N game.

As the order 4, it is assumed that the process related to the start of rotation of the reel is completed and the player can perform the reel stop operation. Upon determining that the stop operation of the first reel has been accepted, the main control board M transmits a command related to the reception of the stop operation of the first reel to the sub control board S. The sub-control board S outputs a sound effect related to the reception of the first reel stop operation based on the reception of the command related to the reception of the first reel stop operation from the main control board M, while the reel rotation from the main control board M. Since the command related to the start standby state start cannot be received, the weight sound output is continued without ending the weight sound output. The main control board M determines that the process related to the reception of the first reel stop operation has been completed, and sets the command related to the next process of the N game.

In order 5, the main control board M transmits a command related to the reception of the second reel stop operation to the sub control board S by determining that the stop operation of the second reel has been accepted. The sub-control board S outputs a sound effect related to the reception of the second reel stop operation based on the reception of the command related to the reception of the second reel stop operation from the main control board M, while the reel rotation from the main control board M. Since the command related to the start standby state start cannot be received, the weight sound output is continued without ending the weight sound output. The main control board M determines that the process related to the reception of the second reel stop operation has been completed, and sets the command related to the next process of the N game.

In order 6, the main control board M transmits a command related to the reception of the third reel stop operation to the sub control board S by determining that the stop operation of the third reel has been accepted. The sub-control board S outputs a sound effect related to the reception of the third reel stop operation based on the reception of the command related to the reception of the third reel stop operation from the main control board M, while the reel rotation from the main control board M. Since the command related to the start standby state start cannot be received, the weight sound output is continued without ending the weight sound output. The main control board M determines that the process related to the reception of the third reel stop operation has been completed, and sets the command related to the next process of the N game. As a command to be set at this time, the stop operation of all reels is performed, and the command related to the stop of the stop display symbol transmitted immediately after the stop button is operated as the display symbol stop is taken as an example. It is also possible to configure the sub-control board S to transmit a command related to winning as a command to output audio based on a command from the control board M (as a command for the next processing of the N game).

By determining that the stop operations of all the reels have been performed in the order 7, the main control board M transmits a command related to the stop of the stop display symbol to the sub control board S. The sub-control board S outputs a sound effect related to the stop of the stop display symbol based on the reception of the command related to the stop of the stop display symbol, while the main control board M issues a command related to the start of the reel rotation start standby state. Since it cannot be received, the weight sound output is continued without ending the weight sound output. The main control board M determines that the process related to the stop of the stop display symbol has been completed, and ends the process related to the N game. In the N game, the communication between the two is temporarily disconnected, so that the sub control board S cannot receive from the main control board M. At this time, the command that has not been received from the main control board M from the sub control board S is a command related to the start of the reel rotation start standby state, and is from the insertion of the game medal of the Nth game to the stop operation of all reels. It is configured to continue the output of the weight sound without ending the output of the weight sound during the period.

Next, as the N + 1 game, the processing proceeds in order 8 and order 9. In order 8, the main control board M transmits a command related to the medal insertion reception to the sub control board S by determining that the game medal has been inserted from the medal insertion slot D170. The sub-control board S outputs a medal insertion sound corresponding to the medal insertion based on the reception of the command related to the medal insertion reception from the main control board M, while the main control board M starts the reel rotation of the N game. Since the command related to the start of the standby state cannot be received, the weight sound output is continued without ending the weight sound output. The main control board M determines that the process related to the medal insertion acceptance has been completed, and sets the command related to the next process of the N + 1 game.

In order 9, the main control board M transmits a command related to the start of the reel rotation start standby state to the sub control board S. The sub-control board S outputs a weight sound based on the reception of the command related to the start of the reel rotation start standby state. At this time, the weight sound output from the speaker S20 is output from the speaker S20 on the same channel as the weight sound output in the N game, as described above. That is, by transmitting the command related to the start of the reel rotation start standby state in the N + 1 game from the main control board M to the sub control board S, the sub control board S receives the reel rotation of the N + 1 game from the main control board M. The output of the weight sound related to the N game is started based on the command related to the start of the start standby state, while the output of the weight sound related to the N game ends (as a process of the sub-control board S, the output of the weight sound related to the N game is output. → Receives the command related to the start of the reel rotation start standby state related to the N + 1 game → Ends the output of the weight sound related to the N game → Starts the output of the weight sound related to the N + 1 game).

<Effect 1>
With this configuration, for example, when the communication between the main control board M and the sub control board S is disconnected while executing the process accompanied by the sound output, the player can hear the voice. Since the output does not end, it is possible to provide a user-friendly game machine capable of recognizing that some problem has occurred in the game machine.

<Effect 2>
In addition, since the game is configured so that the game can proceed on the main control board M instead of stopping the game as an error, both players do not have to temporarily shut down the game machine due to an error response or the like. By returning the communication, it is possible to provide a user-friendly game machine capable of ending the audio output while advancing the game.

<<< When the processing command and channel are not one-to-one when the communication between the main control board and the sub-control board is disconnected during the execution of the payout process >>>
<< Configuration 4 >>
Next, FIG. 125 will be described in detail. Here, in particular, a processing flow will be described when communication between the main control board M and the sub control board S becomes impossible in a state where game medals are paid out from the hopper H40. First, as the processing order 1, when the winning combination (for example, the push order bell combination) in which the game medal is paid out in the Nth game wins and the game medal is paid out from the hopper H40, the main control board M is the hopper H40. The command related to the start of medal payout from is transmitted to the sub-control board S. The sub-control board S outputs a sound effect (hereinafter referred to as a medal payout sound) related to the payout of the game medal from the speaker S20 based on the reception of the command related to the start of medal payout from the hopper H40. In << 6th Embodiment, when the processing command and the channel when the communication between the main control board and the sub control board is disconnected during the execution of the payout process is not one-to-one >>, the audio channel that outputs the medal payout sound is It is assumed that not only the command related to the start of medal payout from the hopper H40 but also other commands are supported (here, it is referred to as "command related to start lever operation"). Then, while the sub-control board S is outputting the medal payout sound, the communication between the main control board M and the sub-control board S is disconnected. When the sub-control board S ends the output of the medal payout sound, the main control board M counts the number of game medals paid out related to the prize, and the number of game medals to be paid out by the prize is paid out from the hopper H40. By determining that the medals have been paid out, the command related to the end of paying out the game medals from the hopper H40 is transmitted to the sub-control board S, and the sub-control board S receives the command related to the end of paying out medals from the hopper H40. It is configured to execute the process of ending the output of the medal payout sound.

In order 2, a command relating to the end of medal payout from the hopper H40 is transmitted to the sub-control board S, but since the communication between the main control board M and the sub-control board S is disconnected, the main control board M is the hopper H40. The command related to the end of medal payout from is not able to be transmitted to the sub-control board S. At this time, since the sub-control board S cannot receive the command related to the end of medal payout from the hopper H40 from the main control board M, the output of the medal payout sound is continued without ending the output of the medal payout sound. It should be noted that the main control board M counts the number of game medals to be paid out related to the prize, and while the determination that the game medals are to be paid out from the hopper H40 is completed, the main control board controls the progress of the game. The processing performed by the control board M is in progress.

The main control board M counts the number of game medals paid out related to the prize, and after it is determined that the number of game medals paid out from the hopper H40 to be paid out by the prize is completed, the main control board M and the sub-control The communication with the board S is restored. At this time, the sub-control board S has not received the command related to the end of medal payout from the main control board M, but the main control board M is paid out from the hopper H40 having the number of game medals to be paid out by the winning. Since it is determined that the game has been processed, the processing of the N game is completed, and the command related to the N + 1 game is set.

Next, as the N + 1 game, the processing proceeds in order 3 and order 4. In order 3, the main control board M transmits a command related to the medal insertion acceptance to the sub control board S by determining that the game medal has been inserted from the medal insertion slot D170. The sub-control board S outputs a medal insertion sound corresponding to the medal insertion based on the reception of the command related to the medal insertion reception from the main control board M, while the main control board M finishes paying out the medals for the N game. Since the command related to the above cannot be received, the output of the medal payout sound is continued without ending the output of the medal payout sound. The main control board M determines that the process related to the medal insertion acceptance has been completed, and sets the command related to the next process of the N + 1 game.

In order 4, the main control board M transmits a command related to the start of the reel rotation start standby state to the sub control board S. The sub-control board S outputs a weight sound based on the reception of the command related to the start of the reel rotation start standby state. As described above, here, the command related to the start of medal payout from the hopper H40 and the command related to the start of the reel rotation start standby state are associated with the same channel of the speaker S20. That is, the sub-control board S receives the command related to the start of the reel rotation start standby state in the N + 1 game while the output of the medal payout sound is being continued from the N game, so that the medal payout in the N game It is configured to end the sound output and start the weight sound output in the N + 1 game.

<Effect 1>
With this configuration, for example, when the communication between the main control board M and the sub control board S is disconnected while executing the process accompanied by the sound output, the player can hear the voice. Since the output does not end, it is possible to provide a user-friendly game machine capable of recognizing that some problem has occurred in the game machine.

<Effect 2>
In addition, by associating with a plurality of commands such as commands related to the progress of the game, the communication between the two can be restored, and the user-friendly game can end the audio output while the game is in progress. Machines can be provided.

<<< 6th Embodiment When the processing command and channel are 1: 1 when the communication between the main control board and the sub control board is disconnected during the execution of the payout process >>>
<< Configuration 5 >>
Next, FIG. 126 will be described in detail. Here, in particular, from the state in which the game medals are paid out from the hopper H40 to a predetermined period (here, from the start of reel rotation (acceleration processing is performed)), the main control board M and the sub control board S The flow of processing when communication becomes impossible will be described. First, as the processing order 1, when the winning combination (for example, the push order bell combination) in which the game medal is paid out in the Nth game wins and the game medal is paid out from the hopper H40, the main control board M is the hopper H40. The command related to the start of medal payout from is transmitted to the sub-control board S. The sub-control board S outputs the medal payout sound from the speaker S20 based on the reception of the command related to the start of medal payout from the hopper H40. In << 6th Embodiment, when the processing command and channel are 1: 1 when the communication between the main control board and the sub control board is disconnected during the execution of the payout process >>, the audio channel that outputs the medal payout sound is Only the command related to the start of medal payout is supported, and other commands are not supported. Then, while the sub-control board S is outputting the medal payout sound, the communication between the main control board M and the sub-control board S is disconnected. When the sub-control board S ends the output of the medal payout sound, the main control board M counts the number of game medals paid out related to the prize, and the number of game medals to be paid out by the prize is paid out from the hopper H40. Upon determining that the medals have been paid out, the command related to the end of paying out the game medals from the hopper H40 is transmitted to the sub-control board S, and the sub-control board S receives the command related to the end of paying out the game medals from the hopper H40. It is configured to execute the process of ending the output of the medal payout sound.

In order 2, a command relating to the end of payout of the game medal from the hopper H40 is transmitted to the sub-control board S, but since the communication between the main control board M and the sub-control board S is disconnected, the main control board M The command relating to the end of medal payout from the hopper H40 cannot be transmitted to the sub-control board S. At this time, since the sub-control board S cannot receive the command related to the end of medal payout from the hopper H40 from the main control board M, the output of the medal payout sound is continued without ending the output of the medal payout sound. It should be noted that the main control board M counts the number of game medals to be paid out related to the prize, and while the determination that the game medals are to be paid out from the hopper H40 is completed, the main control board controls the progress of the game. The processing performed by the control board M is in progress.

Next, as the N + 1 game, the process proceeds in order 3 to 10. In order 3, the main control board M transmits a command related to the medal insertion reception to the sub control board S by determining that the game medal has been inserted from the medal insertion slot D170, but the main control board M and the sub control board M Since the communication with S is disconnected, the main control board M cannot transmit the command related to the medal insertion reception to the sub control board S. At this time, since the sub control board S cannot receive the command related to the medal insertion reception from the main control board M, the medal insertion sound corresponding to the medal insertion cannot be output, but the output of the medal payout sound is not completed. Continue to output the medal payout sound. That is, since the communication between the main control board M and the sub control board S is disconnected, the sub control board S cannot receive the command related to the end of medal payout from the hopper H40 and the command related to the acceptance of medal insertion. Therefore, the state of outputting only the medal payout sound continues.

In order 4, the main control board M transmits a command related to the start lever operation to the sub control board S by determining that the start lever D50 has been operated, but communication between the main control board M and the sub control board S. Is in a disconnected state, so that the main control board M cannot transmit a command related to the start lever operation to the sub control board S. At this time, since the sub control board S cannot receive the command related to the start lever operation from the main control board M, it cannot output the sound effect related to the start lever operation, but the medal is not output without ending the output of the medal payout sound. Continue to output the payout sound. That is, since the communication between the main control board M and the sub control board S is disconnected, the sub control board S can be used for commands related to the end of medal payout from the hopper H40, commands related to medal insertion reception, and start lever operation. Since the command cannot be received, the state of outputting only the medal payout sound continues.

In order 5, the main control board M transmits a command related to the start of the reel rotation start standby state to the sub control board S, but since the communication between the main control board M and the sub control board S is disconnected, the main control board M is in a disconnected state. M cannot transmit a command related to the start of the reel rotation start standby state to the sub-control board S. At this time, since the sub control board S cannot receive the command related to the start of the reel rotation start standby state from the main control board M, it cannot output the weight sound, but the medal payout sound is not finished without ending the output of the medal payout sound. Continue to output. That is, since the communication between the main control board M and the sub control board S is disconnected, the sub control board S relates to a command related to the end of medal payout from the hopper H40, a command related to medal insertion reception, and a start lever operation. Since the command and the command related to the start of the reel rotation start standby state cannot be received, the state of outputting only the medal payout sound continues.

After the main control board M determines that the reel rotation start standby state has started, the communication between the main control board M and the sub control board S is restored. At this time, the sub-control board S receives from the main control board M a command related to the end of medal payout from the hopper H40, a command related to medal insertion reception, a command related to the start lever operation, and a command related to the start of the reel rotation start standby state. Although not completed, the main control board M determines that the reels are ready to start rotating based on the start lever operation, and sets a command related to the next processing of the N + 1 game.

In order 6, the main control board M transmits a command related to the start of reel rotation to the sub control board S by determining that the reel rotation has started by operating the start lever. The sub-control board S outputs a sound effect related to the start of reel rotation based on the reception of the command related to the start of reel rotation from the main control board M, while the main control board M ends the medal payout from the hopper H40. Since such a command cannot be received, the output of the medal payout sound is continued without ending the output of the medal payout sound. The main control board M determines that the process related to the start of reel rotation has been completed, and sets a command related to the next process of the N + 1 game.

As the order 7, it is assumed that the process related to the start of rotation of the reel is completed and the player can perform the reel stop operation. Upon determining that the stop operation of the first reel has been accepted, the main control board M transmits a command related to the reception of the stop operation of the first reel to the sub control board S. The sub-control board S outputs a sound effect related to the reception of the first reel stop operation based on the reception of the command related to the reception of the first reel stop operation from the main control board M, while the hopper H40 is output from the main control board M. Since the command related to the end of medal payout cannot be received from, the output of the medal payout sound is continued without ending the output of the medal payout sound. The main control board M determines that the process related to the reception of the first reel stop operation has been completed, and sets the command related to the next process of the N + 1 game.

In order 8, the main control board M transmits a command related to the reception of the second reel stop operation to the sub control board S by determining that the stop operation of the second reel has been accepted. The sub-control board S outputs a sound effect related to the reception of the second reel stop operation based on the reception of the command related to the reception of the second reel stop operation from the main control board M, while the hopper H40 is output from the main control board M. Since the command related to the end of medal payout cannot be received from, the output of the medal payout sound is continued without ending the output of the medal payout sound. The main control board M determines that the process related to the reception of the second reel stop operation has been completed, and sets the command related to the next process of the N + 1 game.

In order 9, the main control board M transmits a command related to the reception of the third reel stop operation to the sub control board S by determining that the stop operation of the third reel has been accepted. The sub-control board S outputs a sound effect related to the reception of the third reel stop operation based on the reception of the command related to the reception of the third reel stop operation from the main control board M, while the hopper H40 is output from the main control board M. Since the command related to the end of medal payout cannot be received from, the output of the medal payout sound is continued without ending the output of the medal payout sound. The main control board M determines that the process related to the reception of the third reel stop operation has been completed, and sets the command related to the next process of the N game. As the next processing of the N + 1 game, a command related to the start of medal payout from the hopper H40 is used for a brief explanation, but during this period, the main control board M sends a command to the sub control board S. For example, it is possible to configure the command for stopping the stop display symbol, the command for winning a prize, and the like to be transmitted.

In the order 10, when the winning combination (for example, the push order bell combination) in which the game medal is paid out in the N + 1 game is determined and the game medal is paid out from the hopper H40, the main control board M is from the hopper H40. A command related to the start of payout of game medals is transmitted to the sub-control board S. The sub-control board S outputs the medal payout sound from the speaker S20 based on the reception of the command related to the start of medal payout from the hopper H40. At this time, the medal payout sound output from the speaker S20 is output from the speaker S20 on the same channel as the medal payout sound output in the N game, as described above. That is, by transmitting a command related to the start of medal payout from the hopper H40 in the N + 1 game from the main control board M to the sub control board S, the sub control board S receives the hopper in the N + 1 game from the main control board M. Based on the command related to the start of medal payout from H40, the output of the medal payout sound is started, while the output of the medal payout sound related to the N game ends (as a process of the sub-control board S, the medal payout sound is related to the N game. Output of medal payout sound → Receive command related to start of medal payout from hopper H40 related to N + 1 game → End output of medal payout sound related to N game → Start output of medal payout sound related to N + 1 game Become).

<Effect 1>
With this configuration, for example, when the communication between the main control board M and the sub control board S is disconnected while executing the process accompanied by the sound output, the player can hear the voice. Since the output does not end, it is possible to provide a user-friendly game machine capable of recognizing that some problem has occurred in the game machine.

<Effect 2>
In addition, since the game is configured so that the game can proceed on the main control board M instead of stopping the game as an error, both players do not have to temporarily shut down the game machine due to an error response or the like. By returning the communication, it is possible to provide a user-friendly game machine capable of ending the audio output while advancing the game.

<< Configuration related to the number of units applicable to this example >>
Here, the configuration regarding the number of internal lottery positions applicable to this example will be described in detail below. It should be added that the following configuration is applicable to all the embodiments in this example.

First, with reference to FIG. 127, the configuration relating to the number applied to this example will be described in detail.

<When BB is not operating>
The gaming machine illustrated in FIG. 127 has a type 1 BB (sometimes referred to as BB) and a type 2 BB (sometimes referred to as MB), and has a role related to the type 1 BB (one type after being elected). The combination of symbols in which the BB operates is a combination that can be stopped and displayed, and is sometimes referred to as a type 1 BB combination): "Type 1 BB alone" (a condition device in which the type 1 BB combination is independently elected) and "1. It has "seed BB + cherry" (a condition device in which a type 1 BB role and a cherry are elected in duplicate). In addition, as a role related to the type 2 BB (a combination of symbols in which the type 2 BB operates after being elected is a role that can be stopped and displayed, and is sometimes referred to as a type 2 BB role), "type 2 BB alone" (type 2). It has a condition device in which the BB combination is independently won) and a "two-type BB + cherry" (a condition device in which the two-type BB combination and the cherry are elected in duplicate).

In addition, there are four types of winning roles (roles that have a combination of symbols for which game medals are paid out by stopping and displaying), bells, watermelons, symbols, and cherries, and the number of winnings is the largest. (Winning at 10400/65536) may be referred to as the main small role.

“When BB is not operating” shown at the top of the figure is a table relating to the number of placements in a state where the type 1 BB and the type 2 BB are not operating (sometimes referred to as a normal game state or the like). The "number of inputs" is the number of inputs when it is assumed that the game is executed by betting three cards in order to calculate various expected values described later, and is specified during the operation of the 1st class BB and the 2nd class BB operation. The number is 2, but the "number of inputs" is 3. In addition, the "number of payouts" is the number of game medals to be paid out when the "number of inputs" is 3, for example, in a game when the type 1 BB is activated, 15 cards are paid out by betting two cards. Only will be won, but since the "number of inputs" is assumed to be 3, the "number of payouts" is also "15 x 3/2 = 22.5".

The “number of units” is a number of units determined by an internal lottery for each condition device, and the denominator is 65536. Further, the "probability" is the probability that the condition device is determined by the internal lottery.

The "number of games" is the number of games required when calculating various expected values described later. For "1st class BB alone", "1st class BB + cherry", "2nd class BB alone", and "2nd class BB + cherry", 1st class BB or 2nd class BB in the game that won the 1st class BB or 2nd class BB. The "number of games" is 1 because the case where the symbol combination according to the above is stopped and displayed is illustrated. In addition, in "1st class total", after winning "1st class BB alone" or "1st class BB + cherry", the 1st class BB is executed after the symbol combination in which the 1st class BB is to be activated is stopped and displayed (1st class BB). The "number of games" is 24 because the case of (digestion) is illustrated. In addition, "2 types total" executes 2 types BB after winning "2 types BB alone" or "2 types BB + cherry" and then displaying the stop display of the symbol combination in which the 2 types BB will operate (2 types BB). The "number of games" is 8 because the case of (digestion) is illustrated.

The "expected value of the number of inputs" is an expected value of the number of inputs per game considering the probability determined by the internal lottery for each condition device, and is calculated by "the number of inputs x the probability x the number of games". The "expected value of the number of payouts" is an expected value of the number of payouts per game considering the probability determined by the internal lottery for each conditional device, and is calculated by "number of payouts x probability x number of games". There is.

The configuration in the figure may be applied when the game is played as follows.

<Game method 1>
A game medal is paid out in a game in which a bell, watermelon, symbol, or cherry is won, which is a game method in which the game is executed by a game method that is most profitable for the player and is not a push order role such as a push order bell. The game is executed in a stop operation mode (a stop button operation mode, a stop button pressing order, a stop button operation timing, etc.) in which a certain symbol combination is stopped and displayed (winning). In addition, in a game in which a push order combination such as a push order bell (not shown in the figure, but may be configured to have a push order combination) is won, the stop operation mode is the largest number of payouts. To run the game.

<Game method 2>
In a game in which a bell, watermelon, symbol, or cherry is won, which is not a push order role such as a push order bell, a stop operation mode (stop button operation mode) for stopping and displaying (winning) a symbol combination with a game medal payout. The game is executed in the order of pressing the stop button, the operation timing of the stop button, etc.). In addition, in a game in which a push order role such as a push order bell (not shown in the figure, but may be configured to have a push order role) is won, the game is random regardless of whether or not the push order navigation is executed. The game is executed in various stop operation modes (the order in which the stop buttons are pressed and the timing of the stop button operations are random). Random means, for example, that all six types of pressing orders are selected at an equal ratio for the pressing order of the stop button, and all 20 frames of stopping operation timing are selected at an equal ratio for the stopping timing. It is to be.

"Inside" is a game after winning any of "1st class BB alone", "1st class BB + cherry", "2nd class BB alone", and "2nd class BB + cherry", and 1st class BB. Or, a game in which the symbol combination in which the 2nd class BB is activated and the symbol combination related to the bell, watermelon, symbol, cherry, and replay are not stopped and displayed (in the situation where the winning of the 1st class BB or the 2nd class BB is carried over). It is a game that did not win a small role or a replay). In the figure, at 290/65536, a game in which the winning of the 1st class BB or the 2nd class BB is carried over and the small role or the replay is not won is executed, and the "expected value of the number of inputs" is about 0. It is .013275146, and the "expected value of the number of payouts" is 0.

<Type 1 BB is in operation>
“During type 1 BB operation” shown in the second row from the upper part of the figure is a table relating to the number of positions in the state where type 1 BB is operating. During the operation of Type 1 BB, the specified number is two, and it is configured to win any of bell, watermelon, symbol, and cherry without winning the loss. In addition, the "number of payouts" is 15 for all of the bells, watermelons, symbols, and cherries, making it the easiest to win (easily determine) the bell. In addition, one or more (or all) of the "numbers" that will win the watermelon, the symbol, and the cherry may be configured to be the same as "when the BB is not operating". As described above, in the game in which the type 1 BB is operating, 15 cards are paid out by betting 2 cards in all games, so the expected value of the number of cards to be paid out when the specified number of cards is 3 ("When BB is not operating"). The "number of payouts") of "1 type total" in "" is 22.5.

<Type 2 BB is in operation>
“During type 2 BB operation” shown at the bottom of the figure is a table relating to the number of units in the state where type 2 BB is operating. While the 2nd class BB is operating, the specified number is 2, and when the game is executed in a predetermined stop operation mode (for example, when the game is executed in the pressing order of "left → middle → right"). , Only the symbol combination related to the bell is configured to stop and display. In addition, the "number of payouts" is 15 when the symbol combination related to the bell is stopped and displayed. As described above, in the games in which the two types of BB are operating, 15 cards are paid out by betting two cards in all games, so the expected number of payouts when the specified number of cards is three ("When BB is not operating"). The "number of payouts") of "total of two types" in "" is 22.5.

<BB is not operating>
Again, "when BB is not operating" will be described in detail. "No replay" indicates four types of winning roles of bell, watermelon, symbol, and cherry, and "including replay" means five types of roles of bell, watermelon, symbol, cherry, and replay. Shown. The "winning OUT" in "no replay" is the total value of the expected number of payouts of bells, watermelons, symbols, and cherries, which is about 1.237258911. In addition, the "winning payout rate" in "no replay" is the "total value of the expected number of payouts (winning OUT)" and the "total value of the expected number of bells, watermelons, symbols, and cherries". It is the value obtained by multiplying the divided value by 100, that is, the total payout rate of the winning combinations, which is about 222.8%.

The "winning OUT" in the "replay included" is the sum of the expected number of payouts of the bell, watermelon, symbol, cherry, and replay, which is about 1.649246216. In addition, even if the symbol combination related to the re-game is stopped and displayed, the game medal is not actually paid out, but when the game is executed by betting three cards and the symbol combination related to the re-game is stopped and displayed, the symbol combination is stopped and displayed. Since the automatic betting for 3 cards is executed, the "number of payouts" related to the re-game is 3. In addition, the "winning payout rate" in "including replay" is the sum of the "expected number of payouts (winning OUT)" and the "expected number of bells, watermelons, symbols, cherries, and replays. It is a value obtained by dividing the value by "value" and multiplying it by 100, that is, the total payout rate of the winning combination and the replay, which is about 170.5%.

The "1 type total calculation ball rate" is a value obtained by dividing the expected payout number of the "1 type total" by the expected number of inputs and multiplying by 100, and is 750.0%. Further, the "two-kind calculation ball rate" is a value obtained by dividing the expected payout number of the "two-kind sum" by the expected number of inputs and multiplying by 100, which is 750.0%.

<Comparison of various values>
Here, when the above-mentioned values are compared, the relationship is as follows.
(1) "Expected payout number" of "2 types total"<Expected payout number of "No replay" (Winning OUT)
(2) "Expected payout number" of "2 types total"<Expected payout number of "including replay" (winning OUT)
(3) Expected number of payouts for "total of 2 types"<Expected number of payouts for main small role
(4) "Expected value of input number" of "Internal medium"<Expected value of input number of main small role
(5) "Expected value of input number" of "Internal"<"Expected value of input number" of "Replay"

In addition, when the 2nd class BB is activated, the number of game medals that the player can obtain is smaller than when the 1st class BB is activated, and the 1st class BB is not won during the 2nd class BB operation. Therefore, there is a concern that the player's expectation for the game will be diminished. Therefore, as described in (1) above, by designing so that the "expected value of the number of payouts" of the "total of the two types" <the "expected value of the number of payouts" of the total of "no replay", the type 2 BB is operating The "expected value of the number of payouts" of the small role can be made higher than that, and even when the type 2 BB is operating, the BB is not operating (the bonus is not operating) but the BB is not operating (the bonus is not operating). This makes it easier for the player to feel, and makes it possible for the player to play the game without being aware of the special condition.

In addition, when the 2nd class BB is activated, the number of game medals that the player can obtain is smaller than when the 1st class BB is activated, and the 1st class BB is not won during the 2nd class BB operation. Therefore, there is a concern that the player's expectation for the game will be diminished. Therefore, as described in (2) above, by designing so that the "expected value of the number of payouts" of the "total of the two types" <the "expected value of the number of payouts" of the total of "including replay", the type 2 BB is in operation. The "expected value of the number of payouts" of the small role can be made higher than that, and even when the type 2 BB is operating, the BB is not operating (the bonus is not operating) but the BB is not operating (the bonus is not operating). This makes it easier for the player to feel, and makes it possible for the player to play the game without being aware of the special condition.

In addition, when the 2nd class BB is activated, the number of game medals that the player can obtain is smaller than when the 1st class BB is activated, and the 1st class BB is not won during the 2nd class BB operation. Therefore, there is a concern that the player's expectation for the game will be diminished. Therefore, as described in (3) above, by designing so that the "expected value of the number of payouts" of the "total of the two types" <the "expected value of the number of payouts" of the main small role, the main size is smaller than that during the operation of the type 2 BB. The "expected value of the number of payouts" of the role can be increased, and even when the two types of BB are operating, the BB is not operating (the bonus is not operating) but the BB is not operating (the bonus is not operating). It becomes easier for the player to feel, and the player can play the game without being aware that he / she is in a special state.

In addition, as a game machine having one or more configurations of the above (1) to (3), the specified number is set to 2 and the average payout number per game is set to 2 while the 2 types BB are in operation. It may be configured to lower the ball ejection rate (the ball output rate calculated for the two types) during the operation of the type 2 BB. With such a configuration, the effect of having the configurations (1) to (3) described above will be further enhanced.

In addition, when a player with low skill such as a player who cannot push the ball plays in "inside", the symbol combination related to the winning type 1 BB or type 2 BB cannot be stopped and displayed, and the skill There is concern that low players will be significantly disadvantaged. Therefore, as described in (4) above, by designing so that the "expected value of input number" of "internal medium" <the "expected value of input number" of the main small winning combination, the main small winning combination can be achieved even in "internal medium". It is possible to increase the ratio of games in which the bell is won, and it is possible to make the game machine less likely to cause a disadvantage even when a player with low skill plays a game.

In addition, when a player with low skill such as a player who cannot push the ball plays in "inside", the symbol combination related to the winning type 1 BB or type 2 BB cannot be stopped and displayed, and the skill There is concern that low players will be significantly disadvantaged. Therefore, as described in (5) above, by designing so that the "expected value of the input number" of the "internal medium" <the "expected value of the input number" of the "re-game", the re-game is also performed in the "internal medium". The ratio of winning games can be increased, and even when a player with low skill plays a game, it is possible to make the game machine less likely to cause a disadvantage.

<<< 7th Embodiment Gate Technology >>>
Next, as a seventh embodiment, a gate mechanism included in the main board case M40 for storing the main control board M installed inside the game machine (housing) will be described. In the seventh embodiment, the entrance portion through which the resin material (plastic) flows when the main substrate case M40 is molded is referred to as a gate.

<< Molding of main board case >>
As described above, the main substrate case M40 in the seventh embodiment is configured by using a resin material (plastic) as a material. The main substrate case M40 is molded by injecting a resin material (plastic) from a gate into a metal mold (hereinafter referred to as a mold) for forming a specific predetermined shape, and then performing a cooling / solidifying process. It is generally molded by an injection molding method for obtaining a product. The molding method of the main substrate case M40 is not limited to the injection molding method. For example, a tubular plastic hollow body is sandwiched between molds, and air is blown into the mold to bring it into close contact with the wall surface of the mold to cool and solidify it. Any molding method may be used as long as it is molded by pouring a resin material (plastic) from a gate, such as a blow molding method for obtaining a molded product. After injection injecting the resin material (plastic), the gate is cut and the cut portion will have some dents as compared to a flat surface without a gate.

<< Gate method >>
When injecting a resin material (plastic) from a gate by an injection molding method, various restrictions are imposed on the gate. Here, examples of the restrictions include the inflow rate of the resin material (plastic), the temperature of the resin material (plastic), the size and shape of the gate portion M80, and the like. That is, high quality molding is performed by determining the optimum conditions (inflow speed, temperature, gate size / shape) according to the size of the main substrate case M40 to be molded, and undergoing a molding process according to the conditions. You can get the goods.

The methods for injecting resin material (plastic) can be broadly divided into restricted gates that limit the inflow of resin material (plastic) by making the size of the gate as small as possible, and resin material (plastic) directly without going through the gate. There is an unrestricted gate for pouring plastic). For various case members used in game machines, the size of the gate can be reduced to some extent from the viewpoint of size, etc., and a restricted gate may be used in consideration of the aesthetic appearance of the finished product. However, in the seventh embodiment, if the main substrate case M40 has a gate, there is no problem with the method for injecting and injecting the resin material (plastic).

<< Gate type >>
When a resin material (plastic) is injected from a gate by a limiting gate, there are types of gates having various characteristics. As an example, a side gate type in which a resin material (plastic) is injected and injected from a gate arranged on the side surface of a molded product, a pin gate type in which a plurality of molded products are molded from one mold, and a tunnel-shaped arrangement in a mold. There is a submarine gate type in which a resin material (plastic) is injected and injected from the gate. The main substrate case M40 used in the seventh embodiment may be molded by using any of these gate types.

As described above, the main board case M40 described as the seventh embodiment is molded, and the main board case M40 used in the seventh embodiment will be described in detail below.

<< Configuration of main board case M40 >>
First, the configuration of the main board case M40 used in the seventh embodiment will be described. FIG. 128 is a front view of the main board case M40 used in the seventh embodiment. As described above, the main substrate case M40 is molded from a resin material (plastic) as a raw material. The surface of the main board case M40 (for example, the front surface that can be visually recognized by the player or the manager of the game hall when the front door DU is opened) is, for example, a sticker on which model information of the game machine is described. In addition to model stickers, which are members, sticker members (not shown) that have information related to the game machine, such as caulking recording paper that records security measures taken at production factories, etc., are affixed. Further, it has a gate portion M80 including a gate mark (a state after the gate is cut) in which a resin material (plastic) is injected and injected. The shape of the surface of the main substrate case M40 in FIG. 128 is an example, and is not limited thereto. For example, it may have a square shape, a rectangular shape, or a trapezoidal shape.

<< Accommodation diagram of main control board M >>
Next, FIG. 129 is a front view when the main control board M is housed in the main board case M40. When the main control board M is housed in the main board case M40, the main control board M is housed so as to be sandwiched between the main board case M40 and other case members (not shown), and further, the main board case M40 and other cases. It is common that the case member and the case member are integrally formed by fitting screws, and the main control board M is fixed inside the main board case M40.

The main control board M includes a microprocessor CPUMC as an IC element having a CPU function, other IC elements IC01 to IC05 not having a CPU function, resistors R1 to R6, capacitors C01 to C02, and a connector CN01. ~ CN04 is implemented. Further, on the main control board M, a setting display LED M90 capable of displaying a set value, a performance display device SH formed by arranging four-digit segments described later in a horizontal row, and the like are arranged. Other electronic components such as diodes and LEDs may also be mounted on the main control board M, but they are not shown.

<< Gate arrangement of main board case M40 >>
The main board case M40 is arranged so as to cover the main control board M (the dotted line in FIG. 129 corresponds to the main board case M40), and since the main board case M40 is made of plastic as a raw material, the main board case M40 is used. It is configured so that the parts and the like mounted on the main control board M can be visually recognized through the main control board M.

As described above, the main substrate case M40 in the seventh embodiment is configured to have the gate portion M80 on the surface. It is particularly preferable that these gate portions M80 are arranged at positions that do not impair the visibility of the members arranged on the main control board M. For example, as shown in FIG. 129, the model seal, the performance display device SH, the setting display LED M90, etc., which are confirmed by the game hall manager or the National Police Agency through the main board case M40, are arranged at positions that do not obstruct the visibility. The pattern is given as an example. More specifically, the model seal, the performance display device SH, and the setting display LED M90 are configured so as not to be arranged at the position projected on the main board case M40 in the direction perpendicular to the main control board M. Has been done.

<Effect>
By arranging the gate portion M80 in this way, the gate portion M80 hinders visibility when the manager of the player confirms information related to the game machine from the performance display device SH or the setting display LED M90. It is possible to prevent it. Further, by configuring the gate portion M80 so as not to be arranged at a position overlapping with various seal members such as a model seal, the seal member can be made difficult to peel off.

Further, it is preferable not to arrange the gate portion M80 at the position where the CPUMC is projected onto the main board case M40 in the direction perpendicular to the main control board M (the gate portion M80 is arranged at a position other than the projected position). is there. Although the details will be described later, in the main board case M40, since the gate portion M80 is a fragile portion, a so-called goto action is performed on the main control board M inside the main board case M40 via the gate portion M80. There is a possibility that it will be damaged. Therefore, in the direction perpendicular to the main control board M, the CPUMC is configured so that the gate portion M80 is not arranged at the position projected on the main board case M40 (the gate portion M80 is arranged at a position other than the projected position). As a result, the main control chip C that controls the operation of the game machine and the built-in ROMC110 that stores the program related to the operation control of the game machine are provided, and the gate portion M80 can be kept away from the CPU MC that affects the result of the game. It is possible to prevent so-called goto acts such as program falsification through the gate portion M80.

Further, when a current is supplied to the IC elements (IC01 to IC15) arranged on the main control board M, noise may be generated from the IC elements. If such an IC element is installed in the vicinity of the CPUMC, the noise generated from the IC element may adversely affect the operation of the CPUMC to a considerable extent. Therefore, the IC elements (IC01 to IC15) and the like are the CPUMC. It is preferable not to place it in the vicinity of.

In the seventh embodiment, the IC element is not arranged in the vicinity of the CPU MC on the main control board M. Specifically, in any IC element, W1 (dotted line in FIG. 129) is the length of the short side of the upper surface of the package body, which is rectangular, from the outer periphery of the package body of the CPUMC in the vicinity region of the CPUMC. It is arranged at a position separated by more than the virtual boundary line of the above. W1 has a length equal to or longer than the length (length at the time of mounting) of one of the resistors (R1 to R6).

As described above, in the seventh embodiment, the IC elements IC01 to IC15 mounted on the main control board M are all arranged at a distance of W1 or more from the CPU MC. With this configuration, even if noise is generated from the IC element, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the noise adversely affects the operation of the CPU MC.

<< Structure of gate M80 >>
Next, the structure of the gate portion M80 in the seventh embodiment will be described. FIG. 130 is a perspective view of the main board case M40 according to the seventh embodiment and a side view of the main board case M40 as viewed from the direction of the side surface A. As described with reference to FIG. 128, the main board case M40 has a gate portion M80 on the surface (for example, a surface that can be visually recognized by a player or a game hall manager when the front door DU is opened). The gate portion M80 has some dents on the surface as compared with the portions other than the gate portion M80.

In the side view of the main board case M40 of FIG. 130, the main board case A surface (the surface described above) has a gate portion M80, and the main board case B surface does not have a gate portion. Here, the A side of the main board case will be described in detail. The main board case A surface is, for example, a surface close to the front door DU direction from the center of the short axis in the side view of the main board case M40 of FIG. 130, and the main board case B surface is based on the center of the short axis. It is a surface close to the main control board M direction. In other words, it can be said that the main board case A side is the side closer to the front door DU, and similarly, the main board case B side is the side closer to the main control board M. In other words, the main control board M is provided on the B surface side of the main board case from the center of the short axis.

FIG. 131 shows the details of the structure of the gate portion M80. The detailed structure of the gate portion M80 included in the main substrate case M40 in the seventh embodiment may be configured as described in detail below.

<< Structural pattern 1 of gate M80 >>
First, as the structural pattern of the first gate portion M80, the main substrate case B surface is configured to be flat. As shown in the upper part of FIG. 131, the gate portion M80 is composed of one convex portion and two concave portions, and is formed by extending the main board case A surface (the portion other than the gate portion M80) in the horizontal direction. On the other hand, the distance A is from the tip of the convex portion and the distance is B from the tip of the concave portion. At this time, in the relationship between A and B, it is preferable that the relationship A <B is established. It should be added that the one convex portion constituting the gate portion M80 is a gate mark as a state after the gate is cut. Further, it may be designed so that A = 0.

<Effect 1>
When the convex portion of the gate portion M80 is separated from the surface of the main board case A by a distance A, for example, when removing the main board case M40 from the game machine, when the confirmer holds the portion related to the gate portion M80. It is possible to prevent accidents such as the hand slipping and dropping the main board case M40.

<Effect 2>
Further, since the recess of the gate portion M80 is separated from the surface of the main substrate case A by a distance B, it is possible to smoothly flow in the resin molding (plastic) when molding the main substrate case M40.

<Effect 3>
Further, since the main board case B surface directly below the gate portion M80 on the main board case A surface is flat, the surface related to the gate portion M80 when the main control board M is visually recognized through the main board case M40. It is possible to visually recognize the main control board M without lowering the visibility due to the refraction of light even when visually recognizing from the above.

<< Structural pattern 2 of gate M80 >>
Next, as the structural pattern of the second gate portion M80, the main board case B is recessed (bulges outward from the main board case M40). The gate portion M80 in the lower part of the figure is formed by one convex portion and two concave portions on the A surface side of the main board case, and is a surface obtained by extending the A surface of the main board case (a portion other than the gate portion M80) in the horizontal direction. On the other hand, it is the same as the first pattern that the distance A from the tip of the convex portion and the distance B from the tip of the concave portion are separated from the main substrate case A surface (flat surface).

Further, the main board case B surface is recessed, and the distance from the deepest portion (the portion bulging to the outermost side) of the recess to the convex portion on the main board case A surface side is C, and the main board. The distance from the tip of the recess on the case B surface to the surface extending the main board case B surface (the part other than the gate portion M80) in the horizontal direction is D, and in the relationship between C and D, D <C. It is preferable that the relationship is established. Further, in the seventh embodiment, from the surface where the main board case A surface (the portion other than the gate portion M80) is extended in the horizontal direction to the surface where the main board case B surface (the portion other than the gate portion M80) is extended in the horizontal direction. However, it is not limited to this, and for example, the main board case A surface (the part other than the gate portion M80) is extended in the horizontal direction to the main board case B surface (the portion other than the gate portion M80). ) May be C', C <C', C> C', or C≈C'.

<Effect>
In this way, the tip of the recess on the B surface of the main board case is separated from the surface extending the B surface of the main board case (the portion other than the gate portion M80) in the horizontal direction by a distance D, for example, the A surface of the main board case. It is possible to compensate for the decrease in the strength of the member related to the gate portion M80. In other words, the gate portion M80 is recessed as compared with the flat surface, and when a force for breaking the main board case M40 is applied, the recessed distance (for example, the distance B of the structural pattern 1) is thinned. Therefore, it is configured to prevent the main board case A surface (the portion other than the gate portion M80) from being easily destroyed as compared with the surface extended in the horizontal direction. In this way, even from the surface related to the gate portion M80, the main board case B surface is recessed by a predetermined distance, so that the material strength equivalent to that of the portion other than the gate portion M80 of the main substrate case A surface can be obtained. It will be possible to keep.

The arrangement and configuration of the gate portion M80 in the main board case M40 have been described in detail above in the seventh embodiment, but this configuration is a case in which the above-mentioned other case members (main board case M40 and main control board M are sandwiched). It can also be applied to the member), and the same effect as that of the gate portion M80 in the main board case M40 described above can be obtained.

<<<<<< Power Off and Sensor Detection >>>>>
Next, as an eighth embodiment, sensors related to detection of game medals installed inside the game machine (for example, insertion reception sensor D10s, first insertion sensor D20s, second insertion sensor D30s, shoot sensor D40s, first payout). The sensor is off before the sensor H1 and the second payout sensor H2 detect the passage of the game medal, or the sensor is off → on after detecting the notification of the game medal, and further, the game. When the medal passes through the detection area of the sensor and the sensor is turned off in any of the on → off states, the power off processing and the processing related to the detection of the passage of the game medal (8th embodiment). Then, the credit addition processing of the game medal related to the first insertion sensor D20s and the second insertion sensor D30s, the counting processing of the insertion monitoring counter related to the second insertion sensor D30s and the shoot sensor D40s, the first payout sensor H1, the second The relationship with the payout sensor H2 (counting the number of game medals paid out) will be described.

<<< Relationship between power off processing and game medal credit addition processing >>>
First, the game medal inserted from the medal insertion slot D170 passes through the insertion reception sensor D10s (off → on → off) in the medal selector DS, which is the path of the game medal, and the game medal is awarded without an error. It flows downward through the medal flow path DR in the selector DS.

The timing at which the credits of the game medals are added is as described in detail in the third embodiment. For example, based on the description in step S1226-8, the first insertion sensor D20s is turned on → off, and the second insertion sensor D30s is When it is turned off → on, the inserted game medal is detected as a bet medal and can be added to the credit, but it is not limited to this, and the first insertion sensor D20s is turned on / off or The game medal inserted at the timing when any of the on / off of the second insertion sensor D30s is switched may be detected as a bet medal and may be added to the credit. The timing at which the credit addition of the game medal in the eighth embodiment described in detail below is performed is added to the credit when the first insertion sensor D20s is turned on → off and the second insertion sensor D30s is turned off → on. It is configured to be possible. As described above, in this example, "occurrence of power failure" means that the power supply to the game machine is cut off, and "detection of power failure" means that the game machine is powered off. It is to detect the occurrence.

The time from the occurrence of the power failure to the detection of the power failure can be determined with a certain degree of freedom by the program that controls the operation of the game machine, and the design value is determined according to the capacity of the mounted capacitor. The time from the occurrence of the power failure to the detection of the power failure varies slightly depending on the environment (for example, room temperature, humidity, etc.), but the design value is a value including these factors. In rare cases, an event that deviates more than the design value may occur, but under a basic environment, 90% or more is within the range of the design value. Hereinafter, the part expressed as time is this design value (design time), and as a comparison of time values, even if an event that deviates from the illustrated range occurs, it deviates as a design value. It will not be. The same applies to the time other than the time from the occurrence of the power outage to the detection of the power outage, and various examples such as the time for the game medal to flow down and the time for the disk D50 of the medal payout device H are exemplified. Applicable to the configuration.

In order to define the relationship between the power-off processing and the credit addition processing of the game medal, the time from the occurrence of the power-off to the detection of the power-off is T1, the power-on reception sensor D10s off → on to the second power-on sensor. The time from D30s on to off is T2, and the time from the first closing sensor D20s off to on to the second closing sensor D30s on to on is T3. The relationships of T1, T2, and T3 applicable to this example will be described in detail below. The details will be described later, but it should be added that the starting point of T2 is just an example.

<< Action pattern 1 of power off processing and game medal credit addition processing >>
FIG. 133 is an example in which the operation patterns of the power off time processing and the credit addition processing of the game medal are reflected along the timing chart of each sensor. The sensors related to the insertion included in this configuration are the insertion reception sensor D10s, the first insertion sensor D20s, and the second insertion sensor D30s, and the detection status of the game medal by these sensors is illustrated. In this action pattern, the timings at which various events occur are (a1) to (a8), and as time elapses, they change from (a1) to (a8).

Under the situation where the power is supplied to the game machine and the blocker is on, the input reception sensor D10s is turned off → on at the timing of (a1). Further, both the first input sensor D20s and the second input sensor D30s are turned off. Next, at the timing of (a2), the input reception sensor D10s is turned on → off. Next, the power supply is cut off at the timing of (a3). Next, at the timing of (a4), the first input sensor D20s is turned off → on.

Next, at the timing of (a5), the second closing sensor D30s is turned off → on (the first closing sensor D20s remains on). Next, at the timing of (a6), the first input sensor D20s is turned on → off (the second input sensor D30s remains on), and the credit addition process is executed. Next, at the timing of (a7), the second input sensor D30s is turned on → off. Next, at the timing of (a8), the gaming machine detects the power outage and executes the power outage process. That is, in the figure, even when the power is cut off after the game medal has passed the insertion reception sensor D10s and the insertion reception sensor D10s is turned on and off, the second insertion sensor D30s is at the timing of (a7). After the is turned on and off, the gaming machine detects the power off and executes the power off processing, so that the credit addition process can be normally executed. In the eighth embodiment, the interrupt processing for detecting the power failure is configured to execute the power interruption processing by the same interrupt processing, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the power interruption detection and the power interruption processing are performed. Execution can also be processed by separate interrupts.

Further, in the figure, the relationship between the periods T1, T2, and T3 described above is T3 <T1 <T2. By setting T3 <T1, the power off processing can be executed after the credit addition processing is executed. Further, it can be said that the relationship of T1 <T2 and T3 <T2 is a clear relationship based on the flow process of the game medal.

<Effect>
In this way, even if the power is cut off while the game medal is flowing down the medal flow path DR (immediately after passing through the input reception sensor D10s), the power is turned off after the credit addition process of the game medal is executed. By configuring the time processing, it is possible to reliably add credits to the inserted game medals, and even though the game medals are inserted (not returned) inside the game machine because the blocker is on. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of a disadvantageous situation for the player that the credit is not added.

In addition, as the configuration regarding the on sensor and the power off, the following (1-1) to (1-3) or (2-1) to (2-3) may be configured.
(1-1) A power failure occurs after the input reception sensor D10s is turned from off to on (timing of (a3) in FIG. 133).
(1-2) Before the first closing sensor D20s is turned off → on, the gaming machine detects the power off and executes the power off processing (timing between (a3) and (a4) in FIG. 133).
(1-3) By turning the blocker on and off, the game medal can be returned without executing the credit addition process.
(2-1) A power failure occurs after the input reception sensor D10s is turned from off to on (timing of (a3) in FIG. 133).
(2-2) Before the second closing sensor D30s is turned off → on, the gaming machine detects the power off and executes the power off processing (timing between (a4) and (a5) in FIG. 133).
(2-3) By turning the blocker on and off, the game medal can be returned without executing the credit addition process.

<< Action pattern 2 of power off processing and game medal credit addition processing >>
FIG. 134 is an example in which the operation patterns of the power off processing and the credit addition processing of the game medal are reflected along the timing chart of each sensor. The sensors related to the insertion included in this configuration are the insertion reception sensor D10s, the first insertion sensor D20s, and the second insertion sensor D30s, and the detection status of the game medal by these sensors is illustrated. In this action pattern, the timings at which various events occur are (b1) to (b8), and as time elapses, they change from (b1) to (b8).

Under the situation where the power is supplied to the game machine and the blocker is on, the input reception sensor D10s is turned off → on at the timing of (b1). Further, both the first input sensor D20s and the second input sensor D30s are turned off. Next, at the timing of (b2), the input reception sensor D10s is turned on → off. Next, at the timing of (b3), the first input sensor D20s is turned off → on. Next, the power is cut off at the timing of (a4).

Next, at the timing of (b5), the second closing sensor D30s is turned off → on (the first closing sensor D20s remains on). Next, at the timing of (b6), the first input sensor D20s is turned on → off (the second input sensor D30s remains on), and the credit addition process is executed. Next, at the timing of (b7), the second input sensor D30s is turned on → off. Next, at the timing of (a8), the gaming machine detects the power outage and executes the power outage process. That is, in the figure, even when the game medal reaches the first insertion sensor D20s and the power is cut off after the first insertion sensor D20s is turned off → on, the second insertion is performed at the timing of (b7). After the sensor D30s is turned on and off, the gaming machine detects the power off and executes the power off processing, so that the credit addition process can be normally executed.

Further, in the figure, the relationship between the periods T1, T2, and T3 described above is T3 <T1 <T2. It should be noted that T1 <T3 <T2 may be configured to hold. In either configuration, as shown in the figure, the credit addition process is completed even when the power is cut off after the first input sensor D20s is turned off → on at the timing of (b3). The power off processing can be executed later.

<Effect>
In this way, even if the power is cut off while the game medal is flowing down the medal flow path DR (immediately after the first insertion sensor D20s is turned off → on), the credit addition process of the game medal is executed. By configuring to perform power off processing after the power is turned off, it is possible to reliably add credits to the inserted game medals, and since the blocker is on, the game medals are inserted inside the game machine (return). It is possible to prevent the occurrence of a disadvantageous situation for the player that the credit is not added in spite of the fact that the credit is not added.

<< Action pattern modification of power off processing and game medal credit addition processing >>
Further, as a modification of the operation pattern of the power off processing and the credit addition processing of the game medal, for example, the timing of the power off is such that the first on sensor D20s is on and the second on sensor D30s is on. In this case, the power off processing is executed after the first on sensor D20s is turned off and the second on sensor D30s is turned off, that is, the power off processing is executed after the credit addition processing is executed. It may be configured.

<Effect>
Even if the power is cut off during the insertion of the game medals, the inserted game medals can be reliably added to the credits by performing the power off processing after the credit addition processing of the game medals is executed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a disadvantageous situation for the player that the credit is not added even though the game medal is inserted inside the game machine.

Further, as a modification of the action pattern of the power off time processing and the credit addition processing of the game medal, it is possible to configure the timing of detecting the power off. For example, the timing at which the power off occurs is the same as << the action pattern 1 of the power off processing and the credit addition processing of the game medal >>, and the game medal passes the input reception sensor D10s at the timing of detecting the power off. In addition, when the timing is set before reaching the first input sensor D20s, power is supplied to the game machine as a processing flow based on the occurrence timing of various events based on the pattern 1, and the blocker is turned on. Under a certain situation, the input reception sensor D10s is turned off → on at the timing of (a1). Further, both the first input sensor D20s and the second input sensor D30s are turned off. Next, at the timing of (a2), the input reception sensor D10s is turned on → off. Next, the power supply is cut off at the timing of (a3). Next, at the timing of (a4), the game machine detects the power outage, the power outage processing is executed, and then the blocker is turned off. With this configuration, even if the power is cut off immediately after the inserted game medal has passed the insertion reception sensor D10s, the power off processing is performed before the inserted game medal reaches the first insertion sensor D20s. Since it can be executed, the credit addition process is not executed, and the blocker is turned off, so that the game medal is returned from the return port, and it is possible to prevent the event that the player is disadvantaged.

<Effect>
In this way, by executing the power-off processing before the game medal reaches the first insertion sensor D20s, if the power-off occurs and the credit addition processing related to the inserted game medal is not executed, the credit addition process is not executed. It can be configured to return the game medal to the player, and it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a disadvantageous situation for the player that the credit is not added even though the game medal is inserted inside the game machine. ..

In the eighth embodiment, "the time from the insertion reception sensor D10s off → on to the second insertion sensor D30s on → off" is set to T2, but the present invention is not limited to this, and "the medal is inserted from the medal insertion slot". The time from the timing when the game medal is no longer visible to the player to the second insertion sensor D30s on → off may be set as T2, or "half of the game medals inserted from the medal insertion slot can be visually recognized by the player." The time from the timing when the second insertion sensor D30s is turned on to off may be set as T2, or the second insertion sensor may be set from the timing when a part of the game medals inserted from the medal insertion slot cannot be seen by the player. The time from D30s on to off may be set to T2.

<<< Relationship between power off processing and counting processing by the game medal insertion monitoring counter >>>
Next, the relationship with the timing related to the counting process by the game medal insertion monitoring counter will be described as the timing in which the power is not supplied to the game machine due to the occurrence of the power failure. With reference to FIG. 135, in the path of the game medal in the medal selector DS, the medal flow path member after passing through the first insertion sensor D20s and the second insertion sensor D30s (referred to as a chute main body in the third embodiment). ) Is shown. In FIG. 135, a shoot sensor D40s is provided downstream of the first input sensor D20s and the second input sensor D30s, and the shoot sensor D40s includes the above-mentioned input reception sensor D10s, the first input sensor D20s, and the second input sensor D30s. Similar to the above, it is a sensor related to detecting whether normal medal insertion is performed, and in particular, it can detect errors that occur after the credit addition process has already been executed (for example, insertion medal retention error, insertion medal backflow error, etc.). It is configured as.

The timing at which the counting process is performed by the game medal insertion monitoring counter is as described in detail in the third embodiment. For example, the main control board M is inserted at the timing when the second insertion sensor D30s is turned from on to off. The monitoring counter performs addition processing from 0 to 1. Then, the game medal flows down the path in the medal selector DS, and for example, when the shoot sensor D40s is turned from off to on, the insertion monitoring counter performs a subtraction process from 1 to 0. The timing of adding (subtracting) game medals by the input monitoring counter is not limited to this. As described later, for example, when the first closing sensor is turned from off to on, the closing monitoring counter performs an addition process from 0 to 1, and when the shoot sensor D40s is turned from on to off. Any configuration may be used as long as it is possible to monitor whether or not the game medal has passed normally, such as by configuring the input monitoring counter to perform subtraction processing from 1 to 0. Further, the counting process of the game medals by the input monitoring counter may be performed in the order of subtraction → addition (after 0 → -1, then -1 → 0) instead of performing the counting process of the game medal in the order of addition → subtraction. As a configuration for determining that an error has occurred by the input monitoring counter, for example, an error occurs when the counter value C of the input monitoring counter becomes "C <-3 or C <3". It may be configured to determine that it is present.

In order to define the relationship between the power-off processing and the counting processing by the game medal input monitoring counter, the time from the occurrence of the power-off to the detection of the power-off is set from T4, the second power-on sensor D30s on → off. The time from off to on of the shoot sensor D40s is defined as T5, and the relationship between T4 and T5 will be described in detail below. The time from the occurrence of the power failure to the detection of the power failure can be determined with a certain degree of freedom by the program that controls the operation of the game machine, and the design value is determined according to the capacity of the mounted capacitor. The time from the occurrence of the power failure to the detection of the power failure varies slightly depending on the environment (for example, room temperature, humidity, etc.), but the design value is a value including these factors. In rare cases, an event that deviates more than the design value may occur, but under a basic environment, 90% or more is within the range of the design value. Hereinafter, the part expressed as time is this design value (design time), and even if an event that deviates from the range illustrated as a comparison of time values occurs, it deviates as a design value. It will not be. The same applies to the time other than the time from the occurrence of the power outage to the detection of the power outage, and various examples such as the time for the game medal to flow down and the time for the disk D50 of the medal payout device H are exemplified. Applicable to the configuration.

<< Operation pattern 1 of power off processing and counting processing by the game medal insertion monitoring counter >>
FIG. 136 is an example in which the operation patterns of the power cutoff processing and the counting processing by the game medal insertion monitoring counter are reflected along the timing chart of each sensor. The sensors related to the insertion shown in the figure are the second insertion sensor D30s and the shoot sensor D40s, and indicate whether or not these sensors have detected the passage of the game medal (on or off). Further, the input monitoring counter is configured to perform addition / subtraction processing at a specified timing (in this operation pattern, the addition processing is performed at the timing when the second input sensor D30s is turned on → off, and the shoot sensor. Subtraction processing is performed at the timing when D40s is turned from off to on). In this action pattern, the timings at which various events occur are set to (c1) to (c6), and as a processing flow, power is supplied to the game machine and the blocker is on, and (c1). ), The power supply is cut off (the timing of the various sensors at this time is that the first closing sensor D20s is on, the second closing sensor D30s is off, and the shoot sensor D40s is off). Next, at the timing of (c2), the second input sensor D30s is turned off → on. Next, at the timing of (c3), the second insertion sensor D30s is turned on → off, the game medal addition process is executed by the insertion monitoring counter, and the counter value of the insertion monitoring counter is changed from 0 to 1. Although not shown, the first input sensor D20s is turned on and off at the timing between (c2) and (c3). Next, at the timing of (c4), the shoot sensor D40s is turned off → on, the game medal subtraction process is executed by the throwing monitoring counter, and the counter value of the throwing monitoring counter is changed from 1 to 0.

Next, at the timing of (c5), the shoot sensor D40s is turned on and off. Next, at the timing of (c6), the gaming machine detects the power outage, and the power outage processing is executed. In the eighth embodiment, the process of detecting the power failure and the process of detecting the power failure are configured to be executed within the same interrupt process, but the process is not limited to this, and the process of detecting the power failure , It is also possible to execute the power cutoff processing by separate interrupt processing. Further, in the figure, the subtraction process of the counter value of the closing monitoring counter is executed at the timing of (c4), but the closing monitoring counter is executed at the timing of (C5) (the timing when the shoot sensor is turned on → off). It may be configured to execute the counter value subtraction process.

As described above, in the figure, even if the power is cut off at the timing before the game medal reaches the second insertion sensor D30s, after the shoot sensor D40s is turned on → off at the timing of (c5). Since the gaming machine detects the power off and executes the power off processing, the credit addition processing and the counter value addition / subtraction processing of the input monitoring counter can be normally executed.

Further, in the figure, the relationship between the periods T4 and T5 described above is T4> T5. With this configuration, even if the power is cut off immediately before the addition process of the input monitoring counter is executed (the first input sensor D20s is on and the second input sensor D30s is off), the input monitoring of the game medal is performed. It can be configured to execute the power-off processing after the addition processing and the subtraction processing by the counter are completed.

<Effect>
By performing the power-off processing after the counting process (0 → 1 → 0) by the game medal insertion monitoring counter is executed, the game medal counting process by the insertion monitoring counter based on the detection by various sensors is normally executed. This makes it possible to normally detect an error or the like related to the shoot sensor D40s.

<< Operation pattern 2 of power off processing and counting processing by the game medal insertion monitoring counter >>
FIG. 137 is an example in which the operation patterns of the power off processing and the counting processing by the game medal insertion monitoring counter are reflected along the timing chart of each sensor. In this action pattern, the timing of detecting the power failure is different from that of the action pattern 1. The sensors here are the second input sensor D30s and the shoot sensor D40s, and indicate whether or not these sensors have detected the passage of the game medal (on or off). Further, in the closing monitoring counter, addition / subtraction processing is performed at a specified timing (in this operation pattern, the addition processing is performed at the timing when the second closing sensor D30s is turned on → off, and the shoot sensor D40s is turned on from off. Subtraction processing is performed at the timing when In this action pattern, the timings at which various events occur are set as (d1) to (d5), and the power supply is cut off at the timing of (d1) as the processing flow (as the timing of the various sensors at this time). The first closing sensor D20s is on, the second closing sensor D30s is off, and the shoot sensor D40s is off). Next, at the timing of (d2), the second input sensor D30s is turned off → on. Next, at the timing of (d3), the second insertion sensor D30s is turned on → off, the game medal addition process is executed by the insertion monitoring counter, and the counter value of the insertion monitoring counter is changed from 0 to 1. Although not shown, the first input sensor D20s is turned on and off at the timing between (d2) and (d3). Next, (d4) the gaming machine detects the power outage, and the power outage processing is executed. Next, at the timing of (d5), the game medal reaches the shoot sensor D40s, but since the power off processing is executed, the game medal is not detected by the shoot sensor D40s. In the example of the figure, the case where the game medal passes through the blocker before the blocker is turned off is illustrated.

In the eighth embodiment, the process of detecting the power failure and the process of detecting the power failure are configured to be executed within the same interrupt process, but the process is not limited to this, and the process of detecting the power failure , It is also possible to execute the power cutoff processing by separate interrupt processing.

As described above, in the figure, even if the power cut occurs at the timing before the game medal reaches the second input sensor D30s, the game machine detects the power cut at the timing of (d4) and turns off the power. Since the time processing is executed, the subtraction processing of the power-on monitoring counter cannot be executed before the execution of the power-off processing, but the credit addition processing can be executed before the execution of the power-off processing. Further, the insertion monitoring counter is configured so that, for example, an error occurs when the counter value reaches 5, (even if the counter value shifts due to the insertion of one game medal, the error is not detected immediately). Therefore, even if a power failure occurs such as a power failure during the operation of the amusement park, it is not judged as an error related to the on monitoring counter even if the power is turned off once, so credit addition processing is performed. If can be executed normally, the continuation of the normal game can be guaranteed.

<< Operation pattern 3 of power off processing and counting processing by the game medal insertion monitoring counter >>
FIG. 138 is an example in which the operation patterns of the power cutoff process and the count process by the game medal insertion monitoring counter are reflected along the timing chart of each sensor. In this action pattern, the timing for detecting the power off is different from << action pattern 1 of the power off processing and the count processing by the game medal insertion monitoring counter >>, and the timing of performing the count processing by the game medal insertion monitoring counter. Is configured to be the same as << operation pattern 1 of the power off processing and the counting processing by the game medal insertion monitoring counter >>. Further, in this action pattern, addition processing is performed by the insertion monitoring counter of the game medal at the timing when the second insertion sensor D30s is turned on → off, and subtraction processing is performed at the timing when the shoot sensor D40s is turned off → on. The sensors here are the second input sensor D30s and the shoot sensor D40s, and indicate whether or not these sensors have detected the passage of the game medal (on or off). In this action pattern, the timings at which various events occur are set to (e1) to (e6), and the second input sensor D30s is turned off → on at the timing of (e1) as the processing flow. Next, at the timing of (e2), the second insertion sensor D30s is turned on → off, the game medal addition process is executed by the insertion monitoring counter, and the counter value of the insertion monitoring counter is changed from 0 to 1. Although not shown, the first input sensor D20s is turned on and off at the timing between (e2) and (e3). Next, the power is cut off at the timing of (e3). Next, at the timing of (e4), the shoot sensor D40s is turned off → on, the game medal subtraction process is executed by the throwing monitoring counter, and the counter value of the throwing monitoring counter becomes 1 → 0. Next, at the timing of (e5), the shoot sensor D40s is turned on → off. Next, at the timing of (e6), the game machine detects the power outage, and the power outage processing is executed.

In the eighth embodiment, the process of detecting the power failure and the process of detecting the power failure are configured to be executed within the same interrupt process, but the process is not limited to this, and the process of detecting the power failure , It is also possible to execute the power cutoff processing by separate interrupt processing.

As described above, in the figure, even if the game medal has passed the second insertion sensor D30s and the power is cut off after the credit addition process is executed, the game machine is turned off at the timing of (e6). Is detected and the power-off processing is executed. Therefore, it is possible to configure the power-off processing to be executed after the addition processing and the subtraction processing of the ON monitoring counter are executed.

Further, in the figure, it is preferable that the relationship of T4> T5 is satisfied during the above-mentioned periods T4 and T5. Since the power failure is detected after the shoot sensor D40s is turned on and off, the period T4 from the occurrence of the power failure to the detection of the power failure is the game medal counting process (addition and addition) by the input monitoring counter. It is preferably configured to be longer than the period during which the subtraction) is executed (for example, the period from (e2) to (e4)). With such a configuration, it is possible to increase the possibility that the power-off processing can be performed after the game medal counting processing by the input monitoring counter is surely executed.

With this configuration, after the count processing by the game medal insertion monitoring counter is executed, the power off processing is performed, and the game medal counting process by the insertion monitoring counter based on the detection by various sensors is normally performed. It becomes possible to execute it, and it becomes possible to reliably detect an error or the like related to the shoot sensor D40s.

In FIGS. 136 to 138, the timing of the addition process of the input monitoring counter is the timing when the second input sensor D30s is turned on → off, the timing of the subtraction process and the timing when the shoot sensor D40s is turned off → on. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the configuration may be as follows, and there is no problem in any combination of the timing of addition processing and the timing of subtraction processing.
(A1) Timing of addition processing of the input monitoring counter: 1st input sensor D20s off → on (A2) Timing of addition processing of the input monitoring counter: 1st input sensor D20s on → off (A3) Addition processing of the input monitoring counter Timing: Second input sensor D30s off → on (A4) Timing of addition processing of input monitoring counter: Second input sensor D30s on → off (B1) Timing of subtraction processing of input monitoring counter: Shoot sensor D40s off → on (B2) ) Timing of subtraction processing of input monitoring counter: Shoot sensor D40s on → off

Although the configuration of the input monitoring counter related to the gaming machine having the shoot sensor D40s is described in detail in FIGS. 136 to 138, the configuration of the input monitoring counter may be applied to the gaming machine having the input reception sensor D10s. In that case, the timing of the addition processing / subtraction processing of the input monitoring counter may be configured as follows, and there is no problem in any combination of the timing of the addition processing and the timing of the subtraction processing.
(C1) Timing of addition processing of input monitoring counter: Input reception sensor D10s off → on (C2) Timing of addition processing of input reception sensor D10s on → off (D1) Timing of subtraction processing of input monitoring counter: First input sensor D20s off → on (D2) Timing of subtraction processing of input monitoring counter: First input sensor D20s on → off (D3) Timing of subtraction processing of input monitoring counter: Second input sensor D30s off → on (D4) ) Timing of subtraction processing of the input monitoring counter: 2nd input sensor D30s on → off Also, when the game medal passes through the input reception sensor D10s, 1 is added to the counter value of the input monitoring counter, and then the blocker is off. Therefore, when the game medal is returned, the counter value of the input monitoring counter remains incremented by 1. Even in such a case, since the game machine according to this example is configured to correct the counter value of the insertion monitoring counter to 0 by turning the blocker from off to on after that, it is executed during the insertion of the game medal. It can be configured so that it does not become abnormal in the input monitoring counter judgment processing.

Further, in this example, the counter value of the input monitoring counter is added by 1 and then subtracted by 1, but the counter value of the input monitoring counter is subtracted by 1 and then 1 is added (the counter value is "0 → -1 → 0". It may be configured to change as described above), and any of the configurations described above can be applied to the configuration.

<<< Relationship between power off processing and game medal payout count processing >>>
Next, as a timing in which power is not supplied to the game machine due to the occurrence of the power failure, the timing related to the payout number counting process of the game medals will be described with reference to FIG. 139. In the game medal payout number counting process, for example, it is performed at the timing of 4 in FIG. 120. Specifically, the payout number counting process is performed at the timing when a signal indicating that the first payout sensor H1 is in the ON state is transmitted to the main control board M when the release urging means H70 is displaced to the initial position again. It is configured to be done. As the payout number counting process, for example, it is common to use an addition process for adding normally paid out game medals such as 0 → 1 → 2 .... The payout count process is a process of counting 1 (may be added to the counter value or may be subtracted) when it is determined that the game machine has executed the payout of one game medal.

The time from the occurrence of the power failure to the detection of the power failure can be determined with a certain degree of freedom by the program that controls the operation of the game machine, and the design value is determined according to the capacity of the mounted capacitor. The time from the occurrence of the power failure to the detection of the power failure varies slightly depending on the environment (for example, room temperature, humidity, etc.), but the design value is a value including these factors. In rare cases, an event that deviates more than the design value may occur, but under a basic environment, 90% or more is within the range of the design value. Hereinafter, the part expressed as time is this design value (design time), and even if an event that deviates from the range illustrated as a comparison of time values occurs, it deviates as a design value. It will not be. The same applies to the time other than the time from the occurrence of the power outage to the detection of the power outage, and various examples such as the time for the game medal to flow down and the time for the disk D50 of the medal payout device H are exemplified. Applicable to the configuration.

In addition, in FIG. 4 and FIG. 120, the first payout sensor H10s in FIG. 4 is referred to as the second payout sensor H2, the second payout sensor H20s in FIG. 4 is referred to as the first payout sensor H1, and the release urging means H70 is in the initial position. In the case of, the first payout sensor H1 = on and the second payout sensor H2 = off. That is, due to the displacement of the release urging means H70,
1st payout sensor H1 = on, 2nd payout sensor H2 = off (initial position)
1st payout sensor H1 = off, 2nd payout sensor H2 = off 1st payout sensor H1 = off, 2nd payout sensor H2 = on 1st payout sensor H1 = off, 2nd payout sensor H2 = off 1st payout sensor H1 = On / 2nd payout sensor H2 = Off (initial position)
It becomes the sensor state.

<< Operation pattern of power off processing and game medal payout number counting processing >>
FIG. 139 is an example in which the operation patterns of the power off time processing and the game medal payout number counting processing are reflected along the timing chart of each sensor. The sensors here are the first payout sensor H1 and the second payout sensor H2. In this action pattern, the timing at which the power supply is cut off is determined.
Action pattern A: The first payout sensor H1 is on and the second payout sensor H2 is off Action pattern B: When the power is turned off in two action patterns: the first payout sensor H1 is on → off and the second payout sensor H2 is off. The relationship between the processing and the processing for counting the number of payouts of game medals will be described.

<< Action pattern A of power off processing and game medal payout number counting processing >>
First, as a processing flow of the action pattern A, first, a power failure occurs after the discharge urging means H70 starts displacement from the initial position (the timing of the various sensors at this time is the first payout sensor. H1 is on and the second payout sensor H2 is off.) After that, due to the displacement of the release urging means H70,
1st payout sensor H1 = off, 2nd payout sensor H2 = off 1st payout sensor H1 = off, 2nd payout sensor H2 = on 1st payout sensor H1 = off, 2nd payout sensor H2 = off 1st payout sensor H1 = On / 2nd payout sensor H2 = Off (initial position)
Then, the payout number counting process is executed.

After that, the game machine detects the power outage and executes the power outage processing. In the eighth embodiment, the power supply cutoff is detected and the power supply cutoff process is executed at the same interrupt interval, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the power supply cutoff detection and the execution of the power supply cutoff process are executed. Can also be processed by separate interrupts.

<Effect>
With this configuration, even if a power outage occurs after the discharge urging means H70 starts displacement from the initial position, the power outage processing can be executed after the payout count processing is executed. This makes it possible to prevent the occurrence of a situation in which the player obtains an unreasonable profit, such as the number of medals paid out is not counted even though the game medals have been paid out.

<< Action pattern B of power off processing and game medal payout number counting processing >>
First, as a processing flow of the action pattern B, first, the displacement is started from the state where the release urging means H70 is in the initial position.
1st payout sensor H1 = on, 2nd payout sensor H2 = off (initial position)
The power is cut off after the first payout sensor H1 = off and the second payout sensor H2 = off. After that, due to the displacement of the release urging means H70,

Then, the payout number counting process is executed.

After that, the game machine detects the power outage and executes the power outage processing. In the eighth embodiment, the power supply cutoff is detected and the power supply cutoff process is executed at the same interrupt interval, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the power supply cutoff detection and the execution of the power supply cutoff process are executed. Can also be processed at different interrupt processing execution timings.

<Effect>
With this configuration, even if a power outage occurs after the discharge urging means H70 starts displacement from the initial position, the power outage processing can be executed after the payout count processing is executed. This makes it possible to prevent the occurrence of a situation in which the player obtains an unreasonable profit, such as the number of medals paid out is not counted even though the game medals have been paid out.

The execution timing (execution trigger) of the payout count process is not limited to the configuration shown in the figure.

<<< 9th Embodiment Stop button operation and reel stop control >>>
Next, a configuration related to the stop button and reel control applicable to the rotating cylinder type gaming machine according to this example will be described in detail below as a ninth embodiment.

In the ninth embodiment, the reel stop control in the operation of the reel stop button (here, the left stop button D41, the middle stop button D42, and the right stop button D43 are applicable) will be described. The operation control of the stepping motor related to the reel stop control is as described above, but the reel rotation is stopped after the transition to the "reel deceleration state" which is the reel drive state shown in FIG. 35 (6). It is configured so that the reel can be stopped by exciting all the phases of the stepping motor (for example, four phases of Φ0, Φ1, Φ2, Φ3) (four-phase excitation). In the ninth embodiment, the treatment in which all the phases (for example, four phases of Φ0, Φ1, Φ2, Φ3) are excited (four-phase excitation) is referred to as “four-phase excitation treatment”. is there.

In the reel type game machine, the stop button sensor built in each stop button is turned off → on according to the operation of the stop button (corresponding to the left stop button D41, the middle stop button D42, and the right stop button D43). Or, the main control board M is configured to be able to execute the control for stopping the rotating reel by the information that it is turned on → off. The operation of the stop button in the ninth embodiment indicates a physical operation, and refers to, for example, pressing the left stop button D41 or moving away from the state in which the left stop button D41 is pressed. .. Further, the state in which the stop button is not operated may be referred to as, for example, the state in which the stop button is not pressed. Further, when the stop button sensor is turned from off to on when the stop button is valid, it may be referred to as the operation of the stop button is accepted.

In the ninth embodiment, the operation of the stop button for mainly stopping the rotating reel and the stop control of the reel will be described. In addition, in the ninth embodiment, in order to explain in detail the relationship between the operation of the stop button and the stop control of the reel,
Pattern 1: The 4-phase excitation process is executed after the stop button sensor is turned on → off. Pattern 2: The 4-phase excitation process is executed before the stop button sensor is turned on → off. .. In the ninth embodiment, it is assumed that these two patterns are obtained regarding the relationship between the operation of the stop button and the stop control of the reel. As described above, the four-phase excitation process is the control of the step motor that is executed when the reel drive state becomes the reel deceleration state.

The operation of the stop button (corresponding to the left stop button D41, the middle stop button D42, and the right stop button D43) and the timing at which the stop button sensor is turned off → on and on → off will be described. The stop button sensor is a sensor built into each stop button, and is turned off → on by pressing the stop button by a predetermined distance from the initial position (the position corresponding to the non-operation state) (at the initial position). The main control board M is configured to be able to execute the reel rotation stop processing related to the flow of FIG. 34 when the stop button sensor is turned from off to on. Although the details will be described later, the predetermined distance for satisfying the condition that the stop button sensor is turned off → on can be appropriately changed. As an example, the maximum distance at which the stop button can be pressed may be set, or the distance may be half the maximum distance at which the stop button can be pressed.

<< Pattern in which 4-phase excitation processing ends after the stop button sensor is turned off >>
FIG. 140 is an example of an image diagram in which an operation is performed to stop the rotating reel in chronological order. In FIG. 140, the operation from the stop button operation to the reel stop in the ninth embodiment is divided into frames (a1) to (f1) for each focus event. In the ninth embodiment, the reel to be stopped first is the left reel M51, and the stop button corresponding to the reel to be stopped first is the left stop button D41 among the reels that are rotating. Not limited to. For example, the reel to be stopped first may be the middle reel M52 or the right reel M53, and the stop button corresponding to the reel to be stopped first may be the middle stop button D42 or the right stop button D43. It should be added that the configuration is not applicable only to the reel and the stop button, but is applicable to the first stop, the second stop, and the third stop for all push orders.

Further, in the figure, the operation of the left stop button is accepted (the stop button sensor is turned off → on), and the reel driving state changes from the reel constant speed state to the reel deceleration standby state until the left reel stops. The case where the reel stops after rotating the maximum design distance (also referred to as the maximum slip) is illustrated. It should be noted that the operation of the left stop button is accepted when rotating the maximum distance in the design (the stop button sensor is turned off → on), and the reel drive state changes from the reel constant speed state to the reel deceleration standby state, and then left. When the maximum value of the sliding time according to the rule is 190 ms, the time value until the reel stops (sometimes called the sliding time) has some margin so as not to exceed the maximum value according to the rule. As an example in this example, the maximum value of the slip time in the design is 185 ms, and the distance corresponding to the 185 ms is the maximum distance in the design.

(A1) to (f1) of FIG. 140 will be described in detail. First, in (a1), the left stop button D41 is not stopped (not pressed), and the left stop button D41 is in the initial position, so the left stop button sensor is off and the reel is rotating. (The left reel M51 is rotating).

After that, the left stop button D41 is pressed (sometimes referred to as operation or sliding), and in a state of being pressed by a distance of x from the initial position (b1), the left stop button sensor is turned off → on. Become. Here, the distance at which the left stop button D41 is pushed from the initial position is x. As will be described later, the left stop button D41 is configured to be able to be pushed by the maximum distance d from the initial position, and it is assumed that the relation of 0 <x <d is established as the relation of the pushed distance. At the timing of (b1), the reel driving state of the left reel M51 changes from the reel constant speed state to the reel deceleration standby state (the reel rotation speed remains constant speed rotation). In addition, when the reel drive state changes from the reel constant speed state to the reel deceleration standby state, the reel (left reel M51) is stopped regardless of the operation status of the stop button (time to be pushed, etc.). Is executed, the reel (left reel M51) is stopped after moving the maximum design distance from the timing of (b1).

After that, the left stop button D41 is pressed, and the left stop button D41 is in a state of being pressed by a distance d, which is the maximum distance from the initial position (c1). In (c1), the left stop button sensor is maintained in the on state, and the reel driving state of the left reel M51 is maintained in the reel deceleration standby state. The time value from (b1) to (c1) varies depending on the operation mode of the player on the left stop button D41. In this example, the player performs a stop operation on the left stop button D41. The case where the stop operation is executed for the left stop button D41 in a short time (for example, 5 ms), which is a general time value required for the execution, is illustrated.

After that, immediately after the state of (c1) is reached, the left stop button D41 is separated and slides toward the initial position by the urging force of the left stop button D41, and the distance x from the initial position (to be exact, The left button sensor is turned on and off in the state of returning to (d1) when the timing becomes less than x). In both (b1) and (d1), the state where the left stop button is located at a distance of x from the initial position is shown, but the distance of x from the initial position is the on / off of the stop button sensor. Since it indicates off, more accurately, the stop button sensor is on at a distance of x or more from the initial position, and the stop button sensor is off at a distance of less than x from the initial position. Note that x may be adjusted as appropriate, and when the stop button is in the initial position, the stop button sensor is on, and when the stop button is not in the initial position (when pressed even a little), the stop button sensor is on. It may be configured to be. The time from the position where the left stop button D41 is pushed by the maximum distance d to the return to the initial position changes according to the spring constant of the spring of the left stop button D41.

Further, in (d1), the reel driving state of the left reel M51 maintains the reel deceleration standby state.

After that, it slides toward the initial position by the urging force of the left stop button D41, and in the state where the left stop button returns to the initial position (e1), the left stop button sensor remains off and the left. The reel drive state of the reel M51 changes from the reel deceleration standby state to the reel deceleration state, and the step motor executes 4-phase excitation. The timing at which the reel drive state is switched from the reel deceleration standby state to the reel deceleration state is not limited to the example in the figure, and may be a timing before or after the timing when the left stop button returns to the initial position. It may be timing. Further, the four-phase excitation of the step motor will be described in detail. When the reel drive state is switched from the reel deceleration standby state to the reel deceleration state (when the scheduled stop symbol and the passing symbol match), the counter of the rotating cylinder drive pulse output counter. Since 4-phase excitation is turned on after setting 100 (a value corresponding to about 223.5 ms) as a value, more accurately, about 0 after the reel drive state is switched from the reel deceleration standby state to the reel deceleration state. After 5 ms, 4-phase excitation is turned on. After that, the counter value of the rotating cylinder drive pulse output counter is subtracted by the interrupt processing executed while the 4-phase excitation is turned on, and when the counter value of the rotating cylinder drive pulse output counter becomes 0. It is configured to turn off 4-phase excitation.

After that, while the left stop button is stopped at the initial position, the step motor is decelerated by 4-phase excitation with respect to the left reel, the left reel is stopped at the position rotated by the maximum distance in the design described above, and the middle stop The operation of the button D42 and the right stop button D43 becomes valid (the reception of the stop operation is valid).

In the figure, after accepting the operation of the stop button of 1, until the reel corresponding to the stop button of 1 stops (stop control ends), the stop buttons other than the stop button of 1 are used. The operation is configured so that it is not valid (it does not accept stop operations).

In this way, after accepting the operation of the stop button of 1, the other stop buttons are not effective until the reel corresponding to the stop button of the 1 is stopped, so that the operation of the plurality of reels is driven at the timing of 1. Control can be performed to prevent a situation in which the step motor is overloaded. Further, even in such a configuration, when the stop operation of the stop button 1 is executed and the button is released immediately (when the maximum distance d is pushed from the initial position and the button is released immediately), the stop button is released from the release. The design value of the shortest time required for the sensor to turn on → off can be shorter than the design value of the time from when the stop button is turned off → on until the 4-phase excitation of the step motor is completed. .. That is, even if the stop operation of the stop button of 1 is executed and the reel is separated immediately, before the reel rotates by the maximum design distance and stops, in other words, before the stop operation of the other stop button becomes effective. Since the stop button of the above 1 is configured to be able to return to the initial position, the player can stop the stop button corresponding to the other reel immediately after the reel that has performed the other stop operation is stopped. Is configured to be able to do.

In addition, when the stop operation of the stop button of 1 is executed and the sensor is separated immediately, the time value of the shortest time required from the separation to the stop button sensor turning on → off and the stop button off → on are obtained. The time value from 1 to the end of 4-phase excitation of the step motor varies slightly depending on the environment (for example, room temperature, humidity, etc.), but the design value is a value including these factors. In rare cases, an event that deviates more than the design value may occur, but under a basic environment, 90% or more is within the range of the design value. In this example, the part expressed as time is this design value (design time), and even if an event that deviates from the range illustrated as a comparison of time values occurs, it deviates as a design value. It means that you have not done so.

In the figure, it was excited that the stop button returned to the initial position before the reel rotated the maximum design distance and stopped by pushing in the maximum distance d from the initial position and immediately separating. It is not limited to this, and it satisfies that the stop button sensor is turned on → off before the reel rotates the maximum distance by design and stops by pushing in the maximum distance d from the initial position and immediately separating. It may be configured as follows.

<< Pattern 1 in which the 4-phase excitation process ends before the stop button sensor is turned off >>
FIG. 141 is an example of an image diagram in which the operation for stopping the rotating reel is drawn in chronological order.

Not limited to. For example, the reel to be stopped first may be the middle reel M52 or the right reel M53, and the stop button corresponding to the reel to be stopped first may be the middle stop button D42 or the right stop button D43. It should be added that the configuration is not applicable only to the reel and the stop button, but is applicable to the first stop, the second stop, and the third stop for all push orders.

Further, in the figure, the operation of the left stop button is accepted (the stop button sensor is turned off → on), and the reel driving state changes from the reel constant speed state to the reel deceleration standby state until the left reel stops. The case where the reel stops after rotating the maximum design distance (also referred to as the maximum slip) is illustrated.

(A2) to (f2) of FIG. 141 will be described in detail. First, in (a2), the left stop button D41 is not stopped (not pressed), and the left stop button D41 is in the initial position, so the left stop button sensor is off and the reel is rotating. (The left reel M51 is rotating).

After that, the left stop button D41 is pressed (sometimes referred to as operation or sliding), and in a state of being pressed by a distance of x from the initial position (b2), the left stop button sensor is turned off → on. Become. At the timing of (b2), the reel driving state of the left reel M51 changes from the reel constant speed state to the reel deceleration standby state (the reel rotation speed remains constant speed rotation).

After that, the left stop button D41 is pressed, and the left stop button D41 is in a state of being pressed by a distance d, which is the maximum distance from the initial position (c2). In (c2), the left stop button sensor is maintained in the ON state, the reel drive state of the left reel M51 changes from the reel deceleration standby state to the reel deceleration state, and the step motor executes 4-phase excitation. The timing at which the reel drive state is switched from the reel deceleration standby state to the reel deceleration state is not limited to the example in the figure, and may be a timing before or after the timing when the left stop button returns to the initial position. The timing may be sufficient, as long as the reel is rotating in (c2).

After that, the left stop button D41 is released immediately after the state of (c2) is reached, and the left stop button D41 slides toward the initial position by the urging force of the left stop button D41, and returns to the distance y from the initial position. At (d2), the left reel stops at a position rotated by the maximum design distance (also referred to as maximum slip) after the reel driving state changes from the reel constant speed state to the reel deceleration standby state. The distance y may be y <d and may be y = x.

After that, it slides toward the initial position by the urging force of the left stop button D41, and when the left stop button is at a distance less than x from the initial position (e2), the left stop button sensor turns on → off. .. After that, it slides toward the initial position by the urging force of the left stop button D41, the left stop button D41 returns to the initial position at (f2), and the stop operation of the middle stop button D42 and the right stop button D43 is effective. It becomes. The timing at which the stop operation of the middle stop button D42 and the right stop button D43 becomes effective is not limited to this, and the timing at which the left stop button D41 is turned on → off (and the left reel is stopped). May be.

In the figure, after accepting the operation of the stop button of 1, until the reel corresponding to the stop button of 1 stops (stop control ends), the stop buttons other than the stop button of 1 are used. The operation is configured so that it is not valid (it does not accept stop operations).

In this way, after accepting the operation of the stop button of 1, the other stop buttons are not effective until the reel corresponding to the stop button of the 1 is stopped, so that the operation of the plurality of reels is driven at the timing of 1. Control can be performed to prevent a situation in which the step motor is overloaded. In addition, in such a configuration, the reel is the maximum in design even when the stop operation of the stop button 1 is executed and the reel is immediately separated (when the maximum distance d is pushed from the initial position and the reel is immediately separated). Since the stop button of 1 is configured to return to the initial position after rotating a distance and stopping, the player can perform a stop operation of another stop button if the stop button returns to the initial position. The game can proceed smoothly.

<< Pattern 2 in which the 4-phase excitation process ends before the stop button sensor is turned off >>
FIG. 142 is an example of an image diagram in which an operation is performed so as to stop the rotating reel, which is drawn in chronological order.

<<<<<< Performance Display Device SH >>>>>
The game machine according to this example may be configured to be provided with a performance display device SH that displays the operating status of the game machine such as the accessory ratio, and the configuration having the performance display device SH may be set as the tenth embodiment as follows. It will be described in detail.

First, with reference to FIG. 143, a display example of the performance display device SH applicable to the game machine according to this example will be illustrated. The performance display device SH is formed by arranging four-digit segments in a horizontal row, the upper two digits (two digits on the left side) are the identification segment SH10, and the lower two digits (two digits on the right side) are the ratio segment SH20. It has become. The identification seg SH10 is configured to display information that can identify the currently displayed item, and the ratio seg SH20 is configured to display numerical information corresponding to the currently displayed item. Further, a dot point SH30 is provided at the lower right of the lower digit (right digit) of the identification seg SH10, and is configured so that the identification seg SH10 and the ratio seg SH20 can be easily distinguished depending on the presence or absence of the dot point SH30. ing. There is no problem even if the dot point SH30 is not provided.

<<< Installation position >>

It is desirable to install it in an unobstructed position.

<<< Display items >>
The following items are given as an example of the items to be displayed on the performance display device SH.
(A) = Cumulative advantageous section ratio The "cumulative advantageous section ratio" is the ratio of the cumulative number of games played in the advantageous section to the total number of games (cumulative number of games), and is "in the advantageous section". It can be calculated by "cumulative number of games divided by total number of games x 100 (%)". As an example, when the game progresses in the order of "start of operation of game machine-> normal section A-> advantageous section A-> normal section B-> advantageous section B", "(number of games in advantageous section A + game in advantageous section B" Number of times) ÷ (number of games played in normal section A + number of games played in advantageous section A + number of games played in normal section B + number of games played in advantageous section B) × 100 (%) ”.

In addition, "cumulative" means the latest performance display device SH from the predetermined measurement start timing until the calculation of the item to be displayed on the latest performance display device SH is executed after the game machine starts operation in the game hall. It shows the cumulative total from the start of the measurement for displaying on the performance display device SH to the calculation of the items to be displayed on the performance display device SH, such as until the calculation of the item to be displayed on the performance display device SH is executed.

(B) = Continuous character ratio between 6000 games The "continuous character ratio" is the ratio of the total number of payouts paid out when the first-class special character is activated to the total number of payouts, and is "6000 games". The "continuous bonus ratio between games" can be calculated by "the number of payouts during the operation of the first-class special bonuses between 6000 games / the total number of payouts between 6000 games x 100 (%)". As an example, if the number of game medals paid out during the operation of the first-class special accessory during 6000 games: 6000, and the number of medals paid out due to other triggers: 8000, "6000 ÷ (6000 + 8000) × 100 ≒ It is calculated as "42.9 (%)". In addition, "between 6000 games" indicates the interval between 6000 games before the timing when the ratio of continuous characters was calculated most recently.

(C) = Character ratio between 6000 games The "character ratio" is the ratio of the total number of special and ordinary characters paid out to the total number of games paid out, and is "between 6000 games". "Character ratio" means "(the number of payouts when the first-class special bonus is activated between 6000 games + the number of payouts when the second-class special bonus is activated between 6000 games + the payout when the normal bonus is activated between 6000 games". Number of sheets) ÷ Total number of payouts between 6000 games x 100 (%) ”. As an example, the number of game medals paid out when the first-class special character is activated during 6000 games: 5000, and the number of game medals paid out when the second-class special character is operated between 6000 games: 3000, between 6000 games. If the number of medals to be paid out is 8000, it is calculated as "(5000 + 3000) ÷ (5000 + 3000 + 8000) x 100 = 50 (%)". In addition, "between 6000 games" indicates the interval between 6000 games before the timing when the accessory ratio was calculated most recently.

(D) = Cumulative continuous bonus ratio The "cumulative continuous bonus ratio" is calculated by "cumulative number of payouts when Type 1 special bonus is activated / cumulative total payout number x 100 (%)". it can. As an example, if the cumulative number of game medals paid out when the first-class special accessory is activated is 600,000 and the number of medals paid out due to other triggers is 800,000, "600,000 ÷ (600,000 + 800,000) × 100 ≒ 42. It is calculated as "9 (%)".

(E) = Cumulative bonus ratio The "cumulative bonus ratio" is "(cumulative number of payouts when Type 1 special bonus is activated + cumulative number of payouts when Type 2 special bonus is activated + cumulative total". It can be calculated by "the number of payouts when the normal accessory is activated) / total number of payouts x 100 (%)". As an example, the cumulative number of game medals paid out when the Type 1 special character is activated: 500,000, the total number of game medals paid out when the Type 2 special character is activated: 300,000, and the total number of game medals paid out due to other triggers. If the number of sheets is 800,000, it is calculated as "(500,000 + 300,000) ÷ (500,000 + 300,000 + 800,000) x 100 = 50 (%)".

Further, "7U" displayed on the identification seg SH10 indicates that the cumulative advantageous section ratio is displayed, and "6Y" displayed on the identification seg SH10 is the continuous character ratio between 6000 games. Is displayed, and "7Y" displayed on the identification seg SH10 indicates that the character ratio between 6000 games is displayed, and "6A" displayed on the identification seg SH10 is displayed. "Indicates that the cumulative continuous bonus ratio is displayed, and" 7A "displayed on the identification segment SH10 indicates that the cumulative bonus ratio is displayed.

In addition, in FIG. 143, although it was configured to display the cumulative advantageous section ratio as (a), it is not limited to this, and even if it is configured to display the cumulative designated accessory ratio as (a). Good. Here, what is the cumulative ratio of instructed accessories?
Cumulative number of payouts in the game in which the push order navigation (sometimes called an instruction) on the main control board M is executed + cumulative number of payouts by the accessory} ÷ all cumulative payouts x 100 (%)
It is a ratio that can be calculated by, and whether to display the cumulative advantageous section ratio or the cumulative indicated accessory ratio on the performance display device SH may be appropriately determined according to the specifications of the game machine.

In addition, in the game in which the push order navigation is executed, since the stop operation is performed in a push order different from the push order navigation, the number of game medals related to the symbol combination that can be won when the stop operation is performed according to the push order navigation is smaller than the number of game medals. Is paid out, the number of payouts related to the symbol combination that can be won when the stop operation is performed according to the push order navigation is calculated as the number of payouts in the game in which the push order navigation is executed. ..

<<< Display mode >>
The display mode of the performance display device SH may be configured as follows.
-The display is switched in the order of "(a)->(b)->(c)->(d)->(e)-> (a) ..." for about 5 seconds each. There is no problem even if the interval for switching the display is changed, and for example, the display may be switched every 3 seconds.
-For non-applicable items, "---" is displayed in the ratio segment. The non-applicable items are, for example, the advantageous section ratio in a game machine that does not have an advantageous section.
-Ratio display values {advantageous section ratio (%), continuous accessory ratio (%), accessory ratio (%), which are displayed on the ratio segment SH20} are displayed with the decimal point truncated (in the case of 100%). Display as "99")
・ If the ratio display value is 70% for the advantageous section ratio, 60% for the continuous character ratio, and 70% or more for the character ratio, the ratio segment SH20 is blinked. ・ If the cumulative number of games is less than 400 games, The ratio display displays "00".-If the cumulative number of games is less than 6000 games, the identification segment SH10 when displaying the continuous character ratio between 6000 games and the character ratio between 6000 games is displayed. Flashing display {Including non-applicable items (for example, in a gaming machine that does not have an advantageous section, the advantageous section ratio is not applicable because the advantageous section ratio does not exist)}
-If the cumulative number of games played is less than 175,000 games, the identification segment is blinked when displaying the cumulative advantageous section ratio. In addition, when the cumulative number of games played is less than 17,500 games, the identification segment is blinked when displaying the cumulative continuous bonus ratio and when displaying the cumulative bonus ratio (games without continuous bonuses). Including the case of a machine). That is, the cumulative number of games can be measured for 175,000 games or more in order to display the cumulative advantageous section ratio, and the cumulative number of games can be measured for 17500 games or more to display the cumulative continuous character ratio and the cumulative character ratio. It is configured to be possible.

In the tenth embodiment, the performance display device SH is configured to be able to display the information of (a), (b), (c), (d), and (e) described above. The configuration for executing processing such as calculation and display of information related to (a), (b), (c), (d), and (e) on the main control board (CPUMC of the main control board M) is described in detail below. Describe.

<<< Memory Map >>
First, an example of a memory map of the main control chip C will be described with reference to FIG. 144. In the memory map, the address space from "0000H" to "FFFFH" is shown. Of these, the built-in ROMC110 is allocated to the space from "0000H" to "27FFH", and the register area built in each circuit in the main control chip C is allocated to the space from "2800H" to "28FFH". The built-in RAMC120 is assigned to the space from "F000H" to "F2FFH", and the XCS decoding area (decoding to interpret the given machine language as an internal representation is executed in the space from "FDD0H" to "FDFBH". Area to be used) is allocated. By causing the CPUC 100 to execute an instruction to access these addresses, it is possible to execute access to the corresponding hardware.

The built-in ROMC 110 mainly has a first ROM area which is an area for controlling the progress of the game, and a second ROM area which is an area for controlling processing different from the normal progress of the game such as error-related. The first ROM area is allocated to the space from "0000H" to "1FFFH", and the second ROM area is allocated to the space from "2000H" to "27FFH". The first ROM area is configured to have a larger capacity than the second ROM area (in other words, the data capacity existing in the first ROM area and accessed from the CPUC100 exists in the second ROM area and is CPUC100. It is configured to be larger than the amount of data accessed from).

Further, the first ROM area stores the first control area in which the program code (instruction code set for the CPUC100) is stored and the program data used by the program (read by the processing of the CPUC100 based on this program code). The first data area is stored, the area where various identification information (company name, manufacturing date, model name, etc.) is stored, and various settings (operation of the random number generation circuit C140) used when operating the main control chip C. It has a program management area in which settings, operation settings of the watchdog timer C222, etc.) are stored. Although the memory map image in the first ROM area is illustrated in the figure, the number of bytes in each area and the presence / absence of an unused area are merely examples.

Further, the second ROM area stores a second control area in which a program code (instruction code set for CPUC100) is stored and program data used by the program (read by processing of CPUC100 based on this program code). It has a second data area, and the second control area is configured to have a smaller capacity than the first control area (in other words, it exists in the second control area and is CPUC100. The program code capacity accessed from is smaller than the program code capacity existing in the first control area and accessed from the CPUC100), and the second data area is configured to have a smaller capacity than the first data area. (In other words, the program data capacity existing in the second data area and accessed from the CPUC 100 is smaller than the program data capacity existing in the first data area and accessed from the CPUC 100).

On the other hand, the built-in RAMC 120 has a first RAM area which is an area mainly for storing information based on the progress of the game, and a second RAM area which is an area for storing information mainly based on processing different from the normal progress of the game such as error-related. It has a stack area that is used when the program needs to store data internally, and a first RAM area is allocated to the space from "F000H" to "F1FFH". A second RAM area is allocated to the space from "F200H" to "F2C9H", and a stack area is allocated to the space from "F2CAH" to "F2FFH" (however, the number of bytes in each area is just an example. ).

Further, the first RAM area mainly has a first work area which is a work area for temporarily storing information related to the progress of the game, and the second RAM area mainly temporarily stores information related to errors and the like. It has a second work area, which is a work area for the user, and a checksum area, which is a work area for detecting errors in the information temporarily stored in the first RAM area and the second RAM area. The capacity of the first RAM area is larger than that of the second RAM area. Further, in the present embodiment, the checksum area is possessed only by the second RAM area (there is no first RAM area), and the checksum area is both the first RAM area and the second RAM area ( It is configured to manage checksums (total of information temporarily stored on both sides). Further, in the present embodiment, as will be described later, when the checksum is calculated, the unused area is also included in the calculation, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the area excluding the unused area (first). The checksum may be calculated for the work area and the second work area). Further, the method of performing error detection is not limited to the method of performing checksum check, and a method of performing other methods (for example, parity check, etc.) may be used. In that case, the checksum area is these. This is an area for storing error detection information (for example, parity bit, etc.) required when using the method.

There is no problem even if the address of the area where various identification information (company name, manufacturing date, model name, etc.) is stored is after the address of the internal RAM. Further, although there is no problem even if the address that is the unused area is changed, it is preferable to provide an unused area between (the address between) the first data area and the second control area. That is, in the case of the memory map configuration as shown in FIG. 144, the program code existing in the first control area and accessed from the CPUC100 and the program code existing in the second control area and accessed from the CPUC100 are Since they are separated (in a non-contiguous arrangement of addresses) on the memory map and an unused area is sandwiched between them, the arrangement positions of both program codes can be visually observed on the program source code or the dump list. It can be clearly separated above (the same can be said when an unused area is sandwiched between them).

Here, regarding the ROM mounted on the main control board M, in order to prevent a program or the like modified by fraudulent activity from being written, it is possible to configure the ROM so as not to provide an unused area (unfilled area). It is suitable (for example, all unused areas are filled with 0, used areas are packed in young addresses, etc.). Further, in the first control area and the first data area, in order to prevent data that is not normally referred to from being referred to due to noise or fraudulent activity, unused data (for example, referred to in a gaming machine having different specifications). It is preferable to configure the data so that it is not provided (data to be used, data used only for testing at the development stage, etc.). Further, the first control area, the first data area, the second control area, the second data area, the first work area, and the second work area are packed in a young address to use the area, and the area is within the area (inside the area). No unused area is provided in (address of) (for example, "0010H" to "0050H" in the first control area in the range of "0000H" to "0FA7H" is not set as an unused area). It is preferable to do so. In the unused area in this example, all the bits are "0", and in the area other than the unused area, any bit is "1" (not "0"). ing).

In the tenth embodiment, in particular, the arithmetic processing of the information displayed on the performance display device SH or the display processing of displaying the information on the performance display device SH is executed on the main control board (CPUMC of the main control board M). When doing so, it is configured to perform processing in the second ROM / RAM area. Hereinafter, details of the processing performed in the second ROM / RAM area will be described.

<< Processing in the 1st ROM / RAM area >>
FIG. 145 is a flowchart of timer interrupt processing according to the subroutine of step 1600 in the tenth embodiment (the execution timing of this subroutine is the same as that of other embodiments). The processing of the subroutine is started when the timer interrupt is started in the processing of step 1040 or step 1104, and thereafter, a predetermined time (T is set in this example, but a time of about 2 ms is set, for example). It is configured to be executed periodically with a cycle of).

First, in step 1602, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes processing at the start of an interrupt (for example, saving data held in a register in the CPUC100, checking the input port of a power failure detection signal, and the like). Next, in step 1604, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the power failure is currently detected (in the interrupt processing this time). If No in step 1604, in step 1900, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes a power-off processing described later. On the other hand, in the case of Yes in step 1604, in step 1606, the CPUC100 of the main control board M starts timer measurement (update processing of various timers managed by software). Next, in step 1608, the CPUC100 of the main control board M generates input port data and stores the data (updates the storage area of each input port data in the RAM area). Here, the input port data includes the settlement button D60, the start lever D50, the stop button D40, the door switch D80, the setting key switch M20, the setting / reset button M30, the power failure detection signal, the on reception sensor D10s, and the first on sensor. Information related to detection of the D20s, the second input sensor D30s, the first payout sensor H10s, the second payout sensor H20s, etc. (that is, the presence / absence of operation and the sensor detection state of these operating members are sampled at the interrupt interval T. Will be).

Next, in step 1610, the CPUC100 of the main control board M refers to the input port data in the RAM area, and turns on / off the door switch flag and the setting key switch flag according to the sampling result of each input port data. Switching (for example, when the switch state of the door switch D80 is continuously turned on over a plurality of samplings, by turning on the door switch flag, the front door DU is opened without being affected by noise. It can also be detected that Next, in step 6100, the CPUC100 of the main control board M is a rotation cylinder drive control process (process related to control of the drive of the reel M50) of all reels (left reel M51, middle reel M52, right reel M53). Will be described later). Next, in step 1612, the CPUC100 of the main control board M refers to the AT counter M60 and determines whether or not the counter value is greater than 0. In the case of Yes in step 1612, in step 1613, the CPUC100 of the main control board M displays the number of remaining AT games (number of AT games) on the AT counter value display device D280, and proceeds to step 1614. In addition, even if No in step 1612, the process proceeds to step 1614. If the AT counter value display device D280 controlled by the main control board M is not provided, the processes of steps 1612 and 1613 are unnecessary. Next, in step 1614, the CPUC100 of the main control board M outputs the output data to the output port. Here, the output data is data for driving the reel M50, the blocker D100, and the like. Next, in step 1616, in the CPUC100 of the main control board M, all the error flags are turned off (although not shown, the inserted medal backflow error flag, the inserted number number error flag, the inserted medal retention error flag, the inserted abnormal error flag, It is determined whether or not all the flags related to the error such as the payout abnormality error flag, the payout medal retention error flag, and the door switch flag are off). In the case of Yes in step 1616, in step 1618, the CPUC100 of the main control board M sets an error undetected command (a command to the sub side and a command related to the fact that an error is not detected) (for example, a register). (Set in the area), and the process proceeds to step 1622. On the other hand, if No in step 1616, in step 1620, the CPUC100 of the main control board M sets an error detection command (a command to the sub side and a command related to the fact that an error is detected) (for example, (Set in the register area), and the process proceeds to step 1622. In step 1620, information related to an error (an error currently occurring) corresponding to the error flag that is turned on is transmitted to the sub side. In addition, the error-undetected command may be set only when the error is cleared from the state in which the error occurred (only when it is determined that the flag is turned off), and when the error is not detected, the command is applicable. It is not necessary to execute the information setting process (step 1618 may be omitted). Further, the error detection command may execute the set process only when an error occurs from the state where no error has occurred, or from the state where the first error (for example, the inserted medal retention error) has occurred. The set process may be executed when the type of error changes as in the second error (for example, payout medal retention error).

Next, in step 1622, the CPUC100 of the main control board M transmits a control command (command on the sub side) (for example, if it is set in the register area in step 1618 or step 1620, it is set). Control commands will be sent). Here, as commands to be transmitted to the sub-control board S, a command related to the start lever operation timing (transmitted immediately after the start lever operation) and a command related to the first reel stop acceptance timing (the stop button was operated as the first stop). Command related to the second reel stop acceptance timing (sent immediately after operating the stop button as the second stop), command related to the third reel stop acceptance timing (send the stop button as the third stop) (Sent immediately after operation), command related to stop timing of stop display symbol (sent immediately after operating the stop button as display symbol stop), winning / re-winning Commands related to game winning information (sent immediately after starting lever operation (limited to advantageous sections)), commands related to bonus winning information (sent immediately after starting lever operation), commands related to RT status (all reels Commands related to AT status (sent between the stop of all reels and the start of the next game), commands related to the state related to AT (sent between the stop and the start of the next game), Highly secured failure counter value command (sent immediately after starting lever operation), command related to the number of AT remaining games (between all reels stopped until the next game starts, or immediately after starting lever operation (Sent), commands related to the game section (sent between the time all reels are stopped and the next game is started), and so on. Next, in step 1624, the CPUC100 of the main control board M outputs an external terminal signal (a signal for transmitting information from the rotating drum type game machine P to an external hall computer or the like). Although not shown, the information related to the error output by the external signal includes a door opening error, a closing error error, a payout error error, a closing reception sensor retention error, and the like. The door opening error is configured to be an error when the front door DU is opened and the door switch flag is turned on, and the insertion reception sensor retention error is when the insertion reception sensor detects the retention of the game medal. Is configured to cause an error. Next, in step 1626, the CPUC100 of the main control board M lights the output data of the LED (7-segment LED lamp, etc.) (for example, a predetermined 7-segment LED unit among the plurality of 7-segment LED units, and 7 Outputs (lights a predetermined segment of the segment) (so-called dynamic lighting). Next, in step 1628, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes an LED lighting mode (for example, changing the LED lighting color). Note that step 1628 does not have to be executed. Next, in step 1630, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes soft random number management processing (update processing of random number values managed by software, etc.). Next, in step 1632, the CPUC100 of the main control board M acquires the internal information register data (the internal information register has an area in which the error flag bit is set when an abnormality occurs in the random number generation circuit). .. Next, in step 1634, the CPUC100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the frequency of the random number update clock is normal (whether or not the abnormality flag bit indicating the frequency abnormality is set). Specifically, when the frequency of the random number update clock falls below a predetermined value, the error flag bit is set. In the case of Yes in step 1634, in step 1636, the CPUC100 of the main control board M has whether or not the update state of the built-in random number is normal (whether or not the error flag bit indicating the update state abnormality is set). To judge.

In the case of Yes in step 1636, then, in step 1637 (13th), the CPU MC of the main control board M calls the count upper limit check process of the second ROM / RAM area as the process in the first ROM / RAM area.

<< Processing in the 2nd ROM / RAM area >>
Although not shown, when the process in the second ROM / RAM area is called, the CPUMC of the main control board M first saves the stack pointer and switches the stack area, and then performs the second stack area. Make settings to use. Next, the CPUMC of the main control board M saves the value of the register used in the processing in the first ROM / RAM area to the second stack area. Next, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a process of creating and outputting a signal for external output from the value of the first RAM area or the register used in the process in the first ROM / RAM area.

After that, as shown in the figure, in step 1637-1 (13th), the CPUMC of the main control board M has a counter value of a counter (sometimes referred to as a total number of games counter) related to the total number of games played so far. And the counter value of the counter (sometimes called the total payout counter) related to the total number of game medals paid out up to now, and the count upper limit check as a check process related to whether or not the predetermined upper limit value has been reached. Perform processing. The details of the count upper limit check process include, for example, a predetermined number of repetitions in the address of the total payout counter set in the predetermined register (referred to as the HL register) in the second ROM / RAM area and the address of the total game count counter. The check process is performed based on the data of the count upper limit flag calculated based on the arithmetic process of the minute. The number of repetitions and the data of the count upper limit flag can be stored in, for example, the B register or the C register as an unused area.

Next, in step 1637-2 (13th), the CPUMC of the main control board M performs a counting process of the cumulative number of games played so far. The details of the game count processing include, for example, an added value stored in the A register as an unused area at the address of the total game counter set in a predetermined register in the second ROM / RAM area (here, the number of games is counted). The process of adding data (1) is performed, and the addition result is updated as the data of the address set in the predetermined register.

Next, in step 1637-3 (13th), the CPUMC of the main control board M performs counting processing of the number of advantageous section games up to now. The number of advantageous section games is the cumulative number of games played in the advantageous section. The details of the counting process of the number of advantageous section games include, first, among the data stored in the address of the game section flag set in the predetermined register of the second ROM / RAM area, the flag indicating that the advantageous section is used. When the bit concerned is "1", for example, the address of the advantageous section game count counter is set in the DE register. After that, the process of adding data is executed in the same manner as in step 1637-2 (13th), and the addition result is updated as the data of the address set in the predetermined register.

Next, in step 1637-4 (13th), the CPUMC of the main control board M counts the cumulative number of payouts up to now and the number of payouts between 6000 games. The number of payouts is the total number of payouts regardless of the opportunity to pay out the game medals. The details of the counting process of the number of payouts are as follows: First, when the bit related to the data flag stored in the address of the count upper limit flag set in the HL register in step 1637-1 (13th) is not "0". The address of the total payout counter (counter for the cumulative number of payouts and the counter for the number of payouts between 6000 games) is set in a predetermined register in the second ROM / RAM area. After that, the data stored in the payout number buffer is set in a predetermined register in the second ROM / RAM area. After that, the process of adding data (here, adding the number of payouts) is executed in the same manner as in step 1637-2 (13th), and the addition result is updated as the data of the address set in the predetermined register.

Next, in step 1637-5 (13th), the CPUMC of the main control board M counts the cumulative number of bonuses paid out up to now and the number of bonuses paid out between 6000 games. As details of the counting process of the number of bonuses paid out, first, the data of the bonus operating state flag is set in a predetermined register in the second ROM / RAM area. Here, a predetermined logical operation is performed on the set data, and if the result of the logical operation is not "0", it is determined that the accessory is operating. After that, if the bit related to the flag of the data stored in the address of the count upper limit flag set in the HL register in step 1637-1 (13th) is not "0", the bit is set to the predetermined register in the second ROM / RAM area. , Set the address of the bonus payout counter (counter for the cumulative number of bonus payouts and the counter for the number of bonus payouts between 6000 games). After that, the data stored in the bonus payout number buffer is set in a predetermined register in the second ROM / RAM area. After that, the process of adding data (here, adding the number of payouts) is executed in the same manner as in step 1637-2 (13th), and the addition result is updated as the data of the address set in the predetermined register. In addition, the "character" in this process is a type 1 special character, a type 2 special character, and a normal character.

Next, in step 1637-6 (13th), the CPUMC of the main control board M counts the cumulative number of continuous bonus payouts up to now and the number of continuous bonus payouts between 6000 games. As details of the counting process of the number of continuous accessory payouts, first, the data of the RB operation state flag is set in a predetermined register in the second ROM / RAM area. Here, a predetermined logical operation is performed on the set data, and if the result of the logical operation is not "0", it is determined that the RB is operating. After that, if the bit related to the flag of the data stored in the address of the count upper limit flag set in the HL register in step 1637-1 (13th) is not "0", the bit is set to the predetermined register in the second ROM / RAM area. , Set the address of the continuous bonus payout counter (counter for the cumulative number of continuous bonus payouts and the counter for the number of continuous bonus payouts between 6000 games). After that, the data stored in the continuous accessory payout number buffer is set in a predetermined register in the second ROM / RAM area. After that, the process of adding data (here, adding the number of payouts) is executed in the same manner as in step 1637-2 (13th), and the addition result is updated as the data of the address set in the predetermined register. The "continuous accessory" in this process is a type 1 special accessory (sometimes referred to as RB).

Next, in step 1637-7 (13th), the CPUMC of the main control board M performs the ratio calculation process. The ratio here is shown below.
(1-1) Cumulative advantageous section ratio: Number of advantageous section games ÷ Total number of games x 100 (%)
(1-2) Cumulative total number of instructed bonuses: {Number of payouts in the game in which push order navigation (sometimes called instructions) on the main control board M is executed + Number of payouts by bonuses} ÷ All payouts × 100 (%)
(2) Cumulative continuous bonus number ratio: Cumulative number of payouts during operation of Type 1 special bonus ÷ Cumulative total payout number x 100 (%)
(3) Cumulative bonus ratio: (Cumulative number of payouts during operation of Type 1 special bonus + Cumulative number of payouts during operation of Type 2 special bonus + Cumulative payout during operation of ordinary bonus Number of sheets) ÷ Cumulative total number of payouts x 100 (%)
(4) Consecutive bonus ratio between 6000 games: Number of payouts between 6000 games during operation of Type 1 special bonus ÷ Total number of payouts between 6000 games x 100 (%)
(5) Character ratio between 6000 games: (Number of payouts between 6000 games during operation of Type 1 special character + Number of payouts between 6000 games during operation of Type 2 special character + Normal character Number of payouts between 6000 games during operation) ÷ Total number of payouts between 6000 games x 100 (%)
The above (1-1) to (5) are the targets of the ratio calculation in the tenth embodiment. In the tenth embodiment, in the advantageous section ratio of (1-1) and the indicated accessory ratio of (1-2), the ratio calculation process is performed for each game, and in (2) to (5). Is configured to perform the ratio calculation process every 400 games, but for example, in (2) to (5), the ratio calculation process may be performed every one game. As described above, any of the above (1-1) and (1-2) may be calculated and displayed according to the specifications of the game machine.

FIG. 146 is a flow of the subroutine of the ratio calculation process by the CPUMC of the main control board M in step 1637-7 (13th). First, in step 1637-7-1 (13th), the CPUMC of the main control board M sets the number of ratio calculations in a predetermined register in the second ROM / RAM area. Next, the data set in the predetermined register of step 1637-7-1 (13th) in step 1637-7-2 (13th) (the data here is the data related to the calculation number of the advantageous interval ratio). get. Next, a predetermined comparison calculation is performed on the data acquired in step 1637-7-3 (13th), and it is determined whether or not the calculation number is related to the calculation of the advantageous section ratio. If it is determined in step 1637-7-3 (13th) that the calculation number is not related to the advantageous section ratio (if it is determined as No), in step 1637-7-4 (13th), the predetermined register is set. The data stored in the 400 game counter (for example, 2 bytes) is set, it is determined whether or not the data value at this time is "0", and when the data value is "0", it is paraphrased. Then, when the number of games played at this time is a multiple of 400 games (when it is determined to be Yes), the address data of the ratio calculation address table previously stored in the second ROM in step 1637-7-5 (13th). Is set in the specified register. After that, in step 1637-7-6 (13th), a predetermined arithmetic process for calculating the ratio with respect to the set address data is performed.

Then, in step 1637-7-7 (13th), the data obtained by the arithmetic processing is set in the same register in which the data acquired in step 1637-7-2 (13th) is set. Then, in step 1637-7-8 (13th), it is determined whether or not the ratio is 100% based on the data obtained by the arithmetic processing, and if the ratio is 100%, step 1637-. In 7-9 (13th), the same register in which the data for displaying the ratio at 99% as described above is set in a predetermined register (for example, the data acquired in step 1637-7-2 (13th)) may be used. ) (Because the ratio segment SH20 is two digits). Then, in step 1637-7-10 (13th), the obtained ratio data is stored in the HL register, and the process proceeds to the next process.

If Yes in step 1637-7-3 (13th), the process proceeds to step 1637-7-5 (13th), and if No in step 1637-7-4 (13th), the process proceeds to step 1637-7-5 (13th). The process proceeds to step 1637-7-9 (13th), and if No in step 1637-7-8 (13th), the process proceeds to step 1637-7-10 (13th).

Next, in step 1637-8 (13th), the CPUMC of the main control board M performs the ratio display process. FIG. 147 is a flowchart relating to the subroutine of the ratio display processing by the CPUMC of the main control board M in step 1637-8 (13th). First, in step 1637-8-1 (13th), the CPUMC of the main control board M sets the ratio display number in a predetermined register in the second ROM / RAM area. At this time, it is assumed that the data of the LED display counter is stored in, for example, the D register. Next, in step 1637-8-2 (13th), it is determined whether or not a 1000-digit display request in the performance display device SH has been received based on the data stored in the D register. If it is determined that the 1000-digit display request in the performance display device SH has not been received, then in step 1637-8-3 (13th), the performance display device is based on the data stored in the D register. It is determined whether or not a 100-digit display request in SH is received. If it is determined that the performance display device SH has not received the 100-digit display request, then, in step 1637-8-4 (13th), the data stored in the D register is acquired and a predetermined value is obtained. Perform arithmetic processing. Next, in step 1637-8-5 (13th), it is determined whether or not a single digit display request in the performance display device SH is received based on the data stored in the D register. When it is determined that the single-digit display request in the performance display device SH has not been received, the logical product calculation of the data stored in the register in which the ratio display number is set is performed in step 1637-8-6 (13th). (For example, an operation such as exchanging the upper 4 bits and the lower 4 bits).

Next, in step 1637-8-7 (13th), the address of the ratio display segment data table is set in a specific register (for example, the HL register). Next, in step 1637-8-8 (13th), a predetermined arithmetic process is performed on the data stored in the HL register, and the data obtained by the arithmetic is acquired. Next, in step 1637-8-9 (13th), the data related to the blinking request flag stored in advance is stored in a predetermined register, and the process proceeds to the next process.

Returning to the description of the flowchart in FIG. 145, next, in step 1637-9 (13th), the main control board M returns to the caller of the first ROM / RAM area.

<< Processing in the 1st ROM / RAM area >>
Next, in step 1638, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes an interrupt end process and shifts to the next process (process of step 1602). On the other hand, if No in step 1634 or step 1636, in step 1640, the CPUC100 of the main control board M sets the built-in random number error display (for example, sets the error number in the register area). Next, in step 1300, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes the above-mentioned non-recoverable error processing.

<< Processing in the 2nd ROM / RAM area Modification 1 >>
Next, a modified example will be described in the case where the calculation processing of the information displayed by the performance display device SH or the display processing of displaying the information by the performance display device SH is performed in the second ROM / RAM area. As a modification 1 (sometimes referred to as a modification 1 from the 10th embodiment) of << processing in the second ROM / RAM area >> in the tenth embodiment, for example, a game progress control process of the main control board M (FIG. It is possible to configure it to be executed in (16 to 18). Hereinafter, a modified example of the processing in the second ROM / RAM area will be described.

FIG. 148 is a flowchart of the game progress control process (third sheet) according to the subroutine of step 1200 in FIG. 14 in the first modification from the tenth embodiment. A detailed description of the same processing as in FIG. 18 will be omitted. Further, since the contents of the processing in the second ROM / RAM area (other than the display processing on the performance display device SH) are the same as those in the tenth embodiment, detailed description thereof will be omitted. In addition, unlike the tenth embodiment in which the processing in the second ROM / RAM area is executed by the interrupt processing, in the change example 1 from the tenth embodiment, the processing in the second ROM / RAM area related to the performance display device SH is performed. It is executed by the main loop processing (processing on the main control board M side, which is different from interrupt processing).

In FIG. 148, the calculation process of the information displayed by the performance display device SH is configured to be executed after the game section transition control process of step 3500 is performed. The timing of performing arithmetic processing of the information displayed on the performance display device SH is not limited to this timing. As long as it is in the main loop process, for example, it may be before the game section transition control process of step 3500 is performed.

<< Processing in the 1st ROM / RAM area >>
As a description of the flowchart, after the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes the game section transition control process in step 3500, the CPUC100 of the main control board M performs the second ROM as the process in the first ROM / RAM area in step 3501. -Call the count upper limit check process of the RAM area.

<< Processing in the 2nd ROM / RAM area >>
Next, in step 3501-1 (13th) (variation 1), the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes the count upper limit check process. Next, in step 3501-2 (13th) (variation 1), the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes the game count processing. Next, in step 3501-3 (13th) (variation 1), the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes the advantageous section game count processing. Next, in step 3501-4 (13th) (variation 1), the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes the payout number counting process. Next, in step 3501-5 (13th) (variation 1), the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes the bonus payout number counting process. Next, in step 3501-6 (13th) (variation 1), the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes the continuous accessory payout number counting process. Next, in step 3501-7 (13th) (variation 1), the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes the ratio calculation process. Next, in steps 3501-8 (13th) (variation 1), the CPUC100 of the main control board M returns to the caller of the first ROM / RAM area.

As described above, in the first modification from the tenth embodiment, the arithmetic processing related to the items to be displayed on the performance display device SH, which is the processing in the second ROM / RAM area (calculation of the information displayed on the performance display device SH). Processing) is configured to be executed as the main loop processing. Further, although details will be described later, the display process on the performance display device SH, which is a process in the second ROM / RAM area, is configured to be executed as an interrupt process.

<< Processing in the 1st ROM / RAM area >>
Next, in step 1293, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes the game end process and shifts to the next process.

Next, FIG. 149 is a flowchart of timer interrupt processing according to the subroutine of step 1600 in the first modification from the tenth embodiment. Since the content of the display process on the performance display device SH, which is the process in the second ROM / RAM area, is the same as that in the tenth embodiment, the details are omitted.

<< Processing in the 1st ROM / RAM area >>
Specifically, when the update state of the built-in random number is normal (Yes) in step 1636, the CPUC100 of the main control board M is in the first ROM / RAM area in step 1637 (13th) (variation 2). As the process, the ratio display process of the second ROM / RAM area is called.

<< Processing in the 2nd ROM / RAM area >>
Next, in step 1637-1 (13th) (variation 2), the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes the ratio display process. Next, in step 1637-2 (13th) (variation 2), the CPUC100 of the main control board M returns to the caller of the first ROM / RAM area.

<< Processing in the 1st ROM / RAM area >>
Next, in step 1638, the CPUC100 of the main control board M executes an interrupt end process and shifts to the next process.

As described above, in the first modification from the tenth embodiment, as the processing related to the performance display device SH, which is the processing in the second ROM / RAM area, the arithmetic processing related to the items to be displayed on the performance display device SH is the main loop processing. The display processing to the performance display device SH is configured to be executed as an interrupt processing.

With this configuration, in the change example 1 from the tenth embodiment, the display processing to the performance display device SH, which needs to be constantly executed (updated), is executed by the interrupt processing, while the constant processing is performed. The data capacity used without executing unnecessary processing by configuring the arithmetic processing related to the items displayed on the performance display device SH that does not need to be executed (updated) to be executed for each game as the main loop processing. Can be reduced.

<<< Test display of the performance display device SH >>>
Next, the test display of the performance display device SH will be described. In the tenth embodiment and the first modification from the tenth embodiment, as a configuration related to the display on the performance display device SH, is there a problem or the like in the seg of the performance display device SH (for example, the lighting location of the seg)? It is configured to have a test display mode for confirming whether or not the lights are evenly lit. The configuration of the test display mode applicable to the gaming machine of this example will be described in detail below.

The test display mode of the performance display device SH is configured to be able to be executed (displayed) at the following timings.
(1) The display starts when the power is turned on and ends within 5 seconds. (2) The display starts when the setting change device control process starts (starts of the setting change mode) and ends within 5 seconds (3). ) The display starts when the setting confirmation mode starts, and is always displayed during the setting confirmation mode. (4) The display starts when the game machine detects an abnormality in the RAM of the main control board M, and an error (abnormality) occurs. Display until resolved

FIG. 150 is an example of a test display in the performance display device SH when the performance display device SH is in the test display mode. First, the test display pattern 1 will be described. The test display pattern 1 illustrates a case where the test display is executed when the power is turned on. As described above, when the test display is executed when the power is turned on, it is preferable to end the display within 5 seconds from the start of the display, but in the figure, from the start of the display. The case where the test display ends after 5 seconds is illustrated.

<< 10th Embodiment Test Display of Performance Display Device SH Test Display Pattern 1 >>
The test display pattern 1 is composed of three display modes: a lighting pattern (a), a lighting pattern (b), and a light-off pattern (c) (this is a display mode at the end of the test display). The lighting pattern (a) is a display mode in which a part of the identification segment SH10 and a part of the ratio segment SH20 are lit. Further, the lighting pattern (b) also has a display mode in which a part of the identification segment SH10 and a part of the ratio segment SH20 are lit, and the lighting pattern (a) and the lighting pattern (b) are alternately executed. As a result, all the segments of the identification segment SH10 and the ratio segment SH20 are lit at least once, and the segment that fails and does not light can be found. The lighting patterns constituting the test display pattern are not limited to (a) and (b), but as a test display, at least the lighting locations of the identification segment SH10 and the ratio segment SH20 by the end of the test display ( It is preferable that the lighting pattern is such that all the segs are lit (the display mode may be such that all the lit parts of the identification seg SH10 and the ratio seg SH20 are lit by combining the two lighting patterns).

Further, the test display pattern 1 is configured such that, for example, the lighting pattern (a) and the lighting pattern (b) are alternately displayed as (a) → (b) → (a) .... , The lighting period of each lighting pattern is 0.5 seconds. Then, starting from the timing when the power is turned on (0 seconds), the display mode of the extinguishing pattern (c) for notifying the end of the test display is displayed after 5 seconds so that the test display of the performance display device SH ends. It is configured. In the test display pattern 1, the lighting period of each lighting pattern is 0.5 seconds, so for example, the period from (a) → (b) → (a), which is one lighting cycle, is set to 1 second, which is the test display period. Since the number of lighting cycles that can be test-displayed in 5 seconds is 5, that is, the number of lighting cycles is an integer, the test display is configured to end after displaying the display mode of the lighting pattern (b) for 0.5 seconds. ..

In the figure, when the test display is completed, as shown in (c), the case where the identification seg SH10 and the ratio seg SH20 are turned off is illustrated, but the case is limited to this. Instead, when the test display is completed, it may be configured to display in the display pattern described above in FIG. 143 (for example, the display starts from (a) in FIG. 143).

<< 10th Embodiment Test Display of Performance Display Device SH Modification Example of Test Display Pattern 1 >>
As a configuration of the performance display device SH applicable to the game machine of this example, a modification related to the test display will be described in detail below.

The lighting period of each of the lighting patterns (a) and (b) illustrated in FIG. 143 is set to 1 second. With this determination, the period from (a) → (b) → (a), which is one lighting cycle, is 2 seconds, and 4 seconds elapses when the 2 lighting cycles are completed, and the next lighting cycle (third time). Lighting cycle) cannot be executed to the end. In such a case, the lighting cycle of (a) → (b) → (a) is executed twice to end the test display, in other words, the last lighting cycle that can be executed within 5 seconds is set. The test display may be configured to end when the test display is executed, or the test display is displayed by lighting in (a) for 1 second after executing the lighting cycle of (a) → (b) → (a) twice. It may be configured to end, in other words, to repeat the lighting cycle for a predetermined 5 seconds, and to end the test display at the timing when the 5 seconds have elapsed.

<< 10th Embodiment Test Display of Performance Display Device SH Test Display Pattern 2 >>
Next, the test display pattern 2 will be described. It is assumed that the test display pattern 2 is executed during the setting confirmation mode or during an error related to an abnormality in the RAM of the main control board M. It should be noted that the test display may be executed even during all the errors (or some errors) that may occur in the gaming machine according to this example.

The test display pattern 2 is composed of three display modes: a lighting pattern (d), a lighting pattern (e), and a light-off pattern (c) (display mode at the end of test display). The lighting pattern (d) is a display mode in which all the lighting portions of the identification segment SH10 and the ratio segment SH20 are lit. Further, the lighting pattern (e) has a display mode in which all the lighting portions of the identification segment SH10 and the ratio segment SH20 are turned off. In this way, by alternately executing the lighting pattern (d) and the lighting pattern (e) as the test display pattern, all the segments of the identification segment SH10 and the ratio segment SH20 are illuminated at least once. It is configured so that you can find segments that fail and do not light up.

Further, the test display pattern 2 is configured such that, for example, the lighting pattern (d) and the lighting pattern (e) are alternately lit in the order of (d) → (e) → (d). , The lighting period of each lighting pattern is 0.3 seconds. Then, with the timing of the setting confirmation mode as the starting point (0 seconds), the test display is alternately performed for 0.3 seconds as in (d) → (e) → (d) .... When the setting confirmation mode ends at a predetermined timing (here, 3.1 seconds after the setting confirmation mode is set), the test display also ends. That is, at the timing when the end condition of the test display is satisfied, the test display is ended regardless of the timing of the lighting cycle.

In the figure, when the test display is completed, as shown in (c), the case where the identification seg SH10 and the ratio seg SH20 are turned off is illustrated, but the case is limited to this. Instead, when the test display is completed, it may be configured to display in the display pattern described above in FIG. 143 (for example, the display starts from (a) in FIG. 143).

<< 10th Embodiment Test Display of Performance Display Device SH Test Display Pattern 3 >>
Next, FIG. 151 shows the test display pattern 3. Compared with the test display pattern 1 and the test display pattern 2, the test display when the timings at which the test display can be executed overlaps will be described as the test display pattern 3. The display mode of the lighting pattern in the test display, the lighting period of each lighting pattern, and the like are the same as those of the test display pattern 1 and the test display pattern 2. Hereinafter, FIG. 151 will be described in detail.

First, to explain in the period in which the test display pattern 3 is performed, the fact that the power-on timing is set as the starting point (0 seconds) is the same as the test display pattern 1. Then, the setting confirmation mode is set within 5 seconds after the power is turned on (here, the timing is 2.7 seconds after the power is turned on). That is, before the test display started to be executed when the power is turned on ends with the passage of time, the start condition of the test display is newly satisfied with the start of the setting confirmation mode. After that, starting from the timing when the setting confirmation mode is entered, the setting confirmation mode ends and the test display is displayed after a predetermined time has elapsed (here, 3.1 seconds after the timing when the setting confirmation mode is entered). It will be a flow to end.

In the test display pattern 3, since the setting confirmation mode is set after 2.7 seconds from the timing when the power is turned on, the setting confirmation mode is not started at the end timing of the lighting cycle described above. Even in such a case, when the test display is started when the setting confirmation mode is started, the performance display device SH is lit as a test display from the first timing of the lighting cycle. More specifically
Lights in 0.5 seconds (a) → Lights in 0.5 seconds (b) → Lights in 0.5 seconds (a) → Lights in 0.5 seconds (b) → Lights in 0.5 seconds (a) ) → Lights in 0.2 seconds (b) → By entering the setting confirmation mode, lights in 0.3 seconds (a) → Lights in 0.3 seconds (b) → ... → When the setting confirmation mode ends, the test display will be executed as if the test display had ended.

<< 10th Embodiment Test Display of Performance Display Device SH Test Display Pattern 3 Deformation Example 1 >>
In the test display pattern 3 in this configuration, the period from the timing when the power is turned on to the end of the setting confirmation mode is 2.7 seconds + 3.1 seconds = 5.8 seconds, and after the power is turned on. Although the range of 5 seconds, which is the test period, is exceeded, if the setting confirmation mode ends at an early timing, for example, if the test display period related to the setting confirmation mode is 1.5 seconds, the power is turned on. Starting from the timing, the period until the setting confirmation mode ends is 2.7 seconds + 1.5 seconds = 4.2 seconds, which does not exceed the range of 5 seconds, which is the test period after the power is turned on. In such a situation, the test display is not executed from the end of the setting confirmation mode to the end timing of the test display period after the power is turned on (when the setting confirmation mode ends regardless of the end timing of the setting confirmation mode). The test display may be terminated), or the test display after the power may be turned on for 0.8 seconds (until 5 seconds have passed since the power was turned on), which is the remaining period of the test display period after the power is turned on. It may be configured to restart, or it may be configured to restart the test display after the power is turned on until the end timing of the test display triggered by the power on. When restarting the test display after the power is turned on, for example, it is determined that the timing at which the setting confirmation mode ends is the starting point (at this time, the test display in the setting confirmation mode ends and the power is turned on again. , The test display period is newly set to 0.8 seconds instead of 5 seconds), and according to the display mode of the test display pattern 1, (a) → (b) → (a) ... And 0.8 It may be configured to display a test for a second.

<< 10th Embodiment Test Display of Performance Display Device SH Test Display Pattern 3 Deformation Example 2 >>
The configuration in the case where the test displays are duplicated, which is illustrated as the second modification of the test display pattern 3 in this configuration, is only an example and can be applied to all combinations executed in duplicate as the test display.

Moreover, in the tenth embodiment,
(1) The display starts when the power is turned on and ends within 5 seconds. (2) The display starts when the setting change device control process starts (starts of the setting change mode) and ends within 5 seconds (3). ) The display starts when the setting confirmation mode starts, and is always displayed during the setting confirmation mode. (4) The display starts when the game machine detects an abnormality in the RAM of the main control board M, and an error (abnormality) occurs. The above four test displays to be displayed until they are resolved are configured to be able to be executed, but the present invention is not limited to this, and only one or more of the above test displays may be configured to be executed. In addition, it should be added that any of the above-described test display configurations may be applied even in such a configuration.

Further, in the test display of (3) above, the same test display may be executed in the setting change mode and the setting confirmation mode (test at the end of the setting change mode or the end of the setting confirmation mode). End the display). Further, the display period of 5 seconds according to the above (1) and (2) is only an example, and there is no problem even if the time value is changed.

Further, in the tenth embodiment, the lighting pattern of the above (1) and the lighting pattern of the above (3) are different lighting patterns, but the lighting pattern is not limited to this, and the same lighting pattern (lighting time / extinguishing time). May be.

The lighting pattern of the test display may be a pattern other than the above, but it can be distinguished from the normal lighting pattern as described above in FIG. 143 (it can be visually recognized by the administrator). It is preferable to configure (different the period for switching the lighting mode, different lighting segments, etc.).

Even when the performance display device SH is executing the test display, the calculation processing of the items to be displayed on the performance display device SH (the calculation processing of the information displayed on the performance display device SH) can be executed. May be good. As a specific example of such a configuration, the configuration may be as follows.
(1) Power off occurs → (2) Accepts the operation of the final stop reel → (3) Executes power off processing before executing arithmetic processing of items to be displayed on the performance display device SH → (4) Game machine Power supply to 0 becomes 0 → (5) Recovery from power failure → (6) Performance display device SH enters test display mode → (7) Calculation of items to be displayed on performance display device SH during test display mode Execution of processing → (8) End of test display mode → (9) Display information displayed on the current performance display device SH corresponding to the latest calculation result on the performance display device SH Note that the above (9) Since the information displayed on the performance display device SH is displayed after the arithmetic processing is executed, it may be different from the information before the power failure occurs. Further, even if the power is cut off after receiving the final stop reel, if the power off time processing is executed before the arithmetic processing of the items to be displayed on the performance display device SH is executed, the above (3) or later Follows the same flow.

<< 11th Embodiment >> Configuration related to suspension / automatic settlement >>
As a configuration applicable to the gaming machine of this example, a configuration relating to a gaming machine capable of executing a game progress suitable for a business form desired by a game field manager will be described in detail below.

As an example of the business form of the amusement park
(1) Quantitative: The progress of the game is stopped by the acquisition of a predetermined number of balls, and the operation of the game machine for the day is ended (2) One exchange: The game is temporarily ended at a specific timing (3) Lucky number system: The game can be continued when a specific privilege is given, but various business forms such as temporarily ending the game when a predetermined privilege is given can be considered. As a configuration of a game machine capable of realizing such a business form, a game machine capable of executing and setting a stop or automatic settlement is suitable.

In addition, "stop" means to stop the progress of the game when a predetermined condition is satisfied, and "automatic settlement" means to perform the settlement process through the operation of the player when a specific condition is satisfied. Do it without. In addition, stopping the progress of the game means that the acceptance of the start lever operation is invalid or the bet is invalid (the game medal cannot be inserted due to the blocker being turned off, and the acceptance of the bet button operation is invalid). Is.

Here, exemplifying the action in the case of stopping after a certain game is completed, the rotation of the reels related to a certain game is started, and then the stop operation is performed to stop each reel, and finally the reels are rotated. A stop operation is performed on the reel (here, the right reel M53), and the reel drive state of the right reel M53 changes from the reel deceleration standby state to the reel deceleration state (the scheduled stop symbol and the passing symbol match). After setting 100 (a value corresponding to about 223.5 ms) as the counter value of the reel drive pulse output counter, the 4-phase excitation of the step motor is turned on. After that, the counter value of the rotating cylinder drive pulse output counter is subtracted by the interrupt processing executed while the 4-phase excitation is turned on.
(1) When the above-mentioned game is a game in which the payout of game medals does not occur, stop processing should be executed in a situation where the counter value of the rotating cylinder drive pulse output counter is 90 or more (between 100 and 90). If it becomes less than 90, the stop processing is executed, and if the above-mentioned game is a game in which the payout of the game medal occurs, the counter value of the rotating cylinder drive pulse output counter is 0 after the payout of the game medal is completed. (2) Regardless of whether or not the game is a game in which the payout of the game medal does not occur, after the counter value of the rotating cylinder drive pulse output counter becomes 0 (after) It may be configured as described above to execute the stop processing (after the payout of the game medal is completed). In the case of the above configuration (1), the reel may be moving (rotating) while the counter value of the rotating cylinder drive pulse output counter becomes 100 to 90. , It can be configured to stop the stop process and to perform the stop process after the reel is completely stopped below 90, and the player can tell that the reel has stopped and the game is over. It becomes easier to recognize, and the player can be made to recognize earlier that it is not necessary to insert the game medal related to the next game.

In addition, the settlement process related to automatic settlement (the settlement process executed when a specific condition is satisfied) and the settlement process executed by operating the settlement button are configured to be executable as the same process. It may be configured to be executable as separate and different processes.

Next, with reference to FIG. 152, the configuration related to the stop / automatic settlement applicable to this example will be described in detail.

First, the predetermined conditions for executing the stop that can be selected in this example are (1) none, (2) at the end of all target BBs, (3) at the end of BB1, (4) at the end of BB2, and (5). It is configured to be selectable from eight items: (6) more than 500 difference sheets, (7) more than 1000 difference sheets, (7) at the end of AT3 set or more, and (8) at the end of a specific AT.

In addition, the predetermined conditions for executing the automatic settlement that can be selected in this example are (1) none, (2) at the end of all target BBs, (3) at the end of BB1, (4) at the end of BB2, and (5). ) Difference number of sheets exceeds 500 sheets, (6) Difference number of sheets exceeds 1000 sheets, (7) At the end of AT3 set or more, (8) At the end of a specific AT, (9) At the time of stopping, 9 items can be selected. There is.

Regarding (5) and (6) above, if the difference number exceeds the specified number and the player is in an advantageous state such as during BB execution or during an advantageous section, the advantageous state is concerned. It may be configured to determine that a predetermined condition or a specific condition is satisfied at the timing when is completed. Further, in this example, the difference number is 500 or 1000, but the administrator may be able to set any number. Further, for counting the difference number, a counter (may be referred to as a MY counter or a difference number counter) capable of counting the maximum difference number in one advantageous section, in which the advantageous section is forcibly terminated, is provided. The counter may be used to count the difference number of sheets, or a counter dedicated to counting the difference number of sheets controlled by the main control board M different from the counter may be used. Further, instead of the difference number exceeding 500 and the difference number exceeding 1000, the difference number of 500 or more and the difference number of 1000 or more may be set as predetermined conditions.

Since the MY counter is updated only with one bet number, for example, when the number of one bet is set to "3", the counter value of the MY counter is stopped as a result of playing a predetermined game with three cards. Although the number of cards reached 500, the actual number of cards acquired may be less than 500 because the game was executed other than betting 3 cards before the arrival timing. When the stop is performed based on the counter value of the MY counter, as described above, the stop may occur even if the actual number of acquired sheets is small. Therefore, by providing a counter related to the difference number of sheets different from the MY counter and counting the number of inserted sheets and the number of paid out sheets for any number of bets, it is possible to ensure the consistency between the actual number of acquired sheets and the execution of the stop. .. Since the two-card betting game (a game other than the three-card betting) is a game that is disadvantageous to the player by design, the two-card betting game may be regarded as some kind of capture / fraud and stopped based on the MY counter. ..

Regarding (7) above, for example, it is preferable that AT (or ART) continues for 3 sets or more, and the timing is such that the AT and the advantageous section end. Further, when having an AT that is not so-called set number management, it may be a condition that the game continues for a predetermined number of games or more.

Further, the specific AT in (8) above may be an AT that is relatively advantageous to the player, for example, an AT that is likely to obtain a predetermined number or more (for example, 500 or more) of game medals. ..

In addition, information on a predetermined condition for stopping and a specific condition for performing automatic settlement is stored in a specific RAM area (dedicated RAM area), and the specific RAM area is referred to when the power is turned on. It is configured to determine the predetermined condition and the specific condition. The dedicated RAM area is configured to be provided in the first ROM / RAM area.

The timing for determining the predetermined condition and the specific condition with reference to the specific RAM area is not limited to only when the power is turned on, and when the setting change mode ends, the stop / automatic settlement setting mode It may be at the end of, when the setting / reset button M30 is operated, when a determination item is selected in the stop / automatic settlement setting mode, or the like, or it may be configured so that it can be determined at a plurality of timings.

Further, as a method of changing the predetermined condition and the specific condition stored in the specific RAM area, the setting can be changed by operating a stop button or the like during the setting change mode. ..

The predetermined conditions and specific conditions illustrated in FIG. 152 are merely examples, and the number of types (number of options) may be changed. Further, it may be configured so that only one item is determined as a condition, or a plurality of items may be determined as a condition.

As an example of changing a predetermined condition or a specific condition, it may be configured as follows.
(1) A predetermined bonus to be satisfied when the inside of a predetermined bonus (as a result of the internal lottery, the condition device related to the predetermined bonus is determined and the symbol combination related to the condition device is not stopped and displayed). It is suitable when the inside is in a relatively disadvantageous state for the player (the expected value of winning the game medal is negative (the number of input medals is larger than the number of payouts), the probability of winning the AT is low, etc.). is there.
(2) A state that is relatively disadvantageous to the player during the execution of the predetermined bonus that is satisfied when the predetermined bonus starts (the expected value of the game medal is negative (the number of input medals is larger than the number of payouts). It is suitable when there are many) and the probability of winning the AT is low).
(3) Satisfied when shifting from a normal section to an advantageous section This is suitable when the winning rate of the lottery for shifting to an advantageous section is high (for example, 99/100) in the normal section.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 153 to 155, an example of the predetermined condition and the method of changing the specific condition will be described in detail.

First, FIG. 153 is an image diagram of each mode transition. When the mode shifts to the setting change mode, as shown in (a) in the figure, the effect display device S40 displays "stop / automatic settlement setting mode". After that, by operating the right stop button D43, as shown in (b) in the figure, the effect display device S40 displays the above-mentioned options of the predetermined conditions as the "stop setting mode". In (b), since the stop is not set, the predetermined condition is "none", and the cursor also selects "1 none". If the predetermined condition is set to "None", the stop is not executed.

After that, by operating the right stop button D43, as shown in (c) in the figure, the effect display device S40 displays the above-mentioned options for the specific conditions as the "automatic settlement setting mode". In (c), since the automatic settlement is not set, the specific condition is "none", and the cursor also selects "1 none". If a specific condition is set to "None", automatic settlement will not be executed.

After that, by operating the right stop button D43, “1 not present” and “2 present” are set as the “notification setting mode” in the effect display device S40 as shown in (d) in the figure. When "None" is determined as the "notification setting mode", the effect display device S40 does not execute the notification related to the stop or automatic settlement even when the stop or automatic settlement is performed, and the "notification setting mode" is set. When "Yes" is determined as "", the effect display device S40 is configured to execute the notification related to the stop or automatic settlement when the stop or automatic settlement is performed.

The position of the cursor when the mode is changed by operating the right stop button D43 may be configured to select "1 none" at the top, or a predetermined condition currently determined, a specific condition. It may be configured to select the condition or the setting of the notification setting mode.

After that, by operating the right stop button D43, the "stop / automatic settlement setting mode" shown in the figure (a) is set again, and thereafter, for each operation of the right stop button D43, (a) → (b) → (c) → It will switch as in (d) → (a) ....

In this example, the configuration in which the right stop button D43 is used as the operation member related to the mode transition is illustrated, but this is just an example, and there is no problem even if the left stop button D41 or the middle stop button D42 is used.

Next, FIG. 154 is an image diagram of item selection in the mode. In the figure, FIG. 153 illustrates a configuration related to an operation when an item is selected in one mode in the above-mentioned “stop / automatic settlement setting mode”.

By shifting to the setting change mode and operating the right stop button D43 while the "stop / automatic settlement setting mode" is displayed, the effect display device S40 is displayed in the "stop setting mode" as shown in the figure (e). ", The options of the predetermined conditions described above are displayed (similar to (b) of FIG. 153). In (b), since the stop is not set, the predetermined condition is "none", and the cursor also selects "1 none". If the predetermined condition is set to "None", the stop is not executed.

After that, by operating the middle stop button D42, as shown in (f) in the figure, the cursor in the "stop setting mode" is moved, and "2 at the end of all BB targets" is selected.

After that, by operating the right stop button D43, as shown in (g) in the figure, the effect display device S40 displays the above-mentioned options for the specific conditions as the "automatic settlement setting mode". In (g), since the automatic settlement is not set, the specific condition is "none", and the cursor also selects "1 none". If a specific condition is set to "None", automatic settlement will not be executed.

After that, by operating the left stop button D41, as shown in (h) in the figure, the effect display device S40 displays the options of the predetermined conditions described above as the "stop setting mode". That is, the mode is changed for each operation of the right stop button D43 in the order of "stop / automatic settlement setting mode" → "stop setting mode" → "automatic settlement setting mode" → "notification setting mode" → "stop / automatic settlement setting mode". The transition will occur, but by operating the left stop button D41, it is configured to transition to the previous mode. In addition, the cursor in the current mode can be moved by operating the middle stop button D42 (in this example, the cursor is moved down by one). Since the cursor selected "at the end of all 2 targets BB" in (f), the cursor also selected "at the end of all 2 targets BB" when transitioning to (h). Further, the present invention is not limited to this, and the cursor may be configured to always select the initial position (such as "1 none") when a new mode is changed.

The method of determining the predetermined condition, the specific condition, and the setting of the presence / absence of notification (the method of changing the information stored in the specific RAM) in FIGS. 153 and 154 is configured as follows. May be good.
(1) Determines the item selected by the cursor when the mode changes (2) Determines that the time selected by the cursor continues for a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds) (3) Determines a predetermined operating member (start lever) By accepting operations such as), the item selected by the cursor when staying in each mode is determined. (4) By accepting the setting confirmation operation in the setting change mode (for example, accepting the operation of the start lever), the cursor stays in each mode (5) As an operation to end the setting change mode, by turning the setting key switch on → off, the item selected by the cursor when staying in each mode is determined as described above. You may.

Further, as in the "stop / automatic settlement setting mode" illustrated in FIGS. 153 and 154, the setting related to the stop (sometimes referred to as the setting of a predetermined condition or the setting of the stop function) and the setting related to the automatic settlement (specific). In a state where conditions can be set and the automatic settlement function can be set), whether or not the stop function is effective and whether or not the automatic settlement function is effective when determined in the current situation. May be displayed on a display unit (for example, payout number display device D270) controlled by the main control board M. As an example of the display mode, valid is "A" and invalid is "F", and the validity / invalidity of the stop function is displayed in the tens digit of the payout number display device D270, and the payout number display device D270-1 It may be configured to display the enable / disable of the automatic settlement function in the digit of the digit. More specifically, the display mode is as follows.
Stop function: Enabled, automatic settlement function: Enabled, display of payout number display device D270 "AA"
Stop function: Enabled, automatic settlement function: disabled, display of payout number display device D270 "AF"
Stop function: invalid, automatic settlement function: valid, display of payout number display device D270 "FA"
Stop function: invalid, automatic settlement function: invalid, display "FF" of payout number display device D270

It should be noted that the above-mentioned display of validity / invalidity of the stop function and the automatic settlement function may be configured to be displayed in the stop / automatic settlement setting mode before the stop function and the automatic settlement function are determined. In such a configuration, for example, in the situation where other than "1 None" is selected in the stop setting mode, the tens digit of the payout number display device D270 becomes "A", and the stop setting mode is set. In the situation where "1 None" is selected, the tens digit of the payout number display device D270 is "F", and in the situation where other than "1 None" is selected in the automatic settlement setting mode, the payout is made. The one-digit digit of the number display device D270 is "A", and in the situation where "no one" is selected in the automatic settlement setting mode, the one-digit digit of the payout number display device D270 is "F". Become.

Further, when the validity / invalidity of the stop function and the automatic settlement function is determined, the above-mentioned indication of the validity / invalidity of the stop function and the automatic settlement function may be displayed. In this case, for example, when a value other than "1 None" is determined in the stop setting mode, "A" is displayed in the tens digit of the payout number display device D270 for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) from the determination. Is displayed, and if "1 None" is determined in the stop setting mode, "F" is displayed in the tens digit of the predetermined time payout number display device D270 from the determination, and in the automatic settlement setting mode. When a value other than "1 None" is determined, "A" is displayed in the 1st digit of the predetermined time payout number display device D270 from the determination, and "1 None" is determined in the automatic settlement setting mode. In this case, "F" may be displayed in the one-digit digit of the predetermined time payout number display device D270 from the determination.

The valid / invalid display of the stop function and the automatic settlement function as described above may be displayed on a display unit controlled by the main control board M other than the payout number display device D270. Further, the display mode is only an example, and may be appropriately displayed in a display mode that is not used for displaying the number of game medals to be paid out, displaying the push order navigation, displaying credits, or the like.

Further, when displaying the valid / invalid display of the stop function and the automatic settlement function as described above on the display unit controlled by the main control board M, the display unit controlled by the sub control board S (for example, The effect display device S40) may also be configured to (simultaneously) display the valid / invalid display of the stop function and the automatic settlement function. In such a configuration, the display mode in the display unit controlled by the sub-control board S is appropriately displayed in a display mode in which the manager of the game hall can easily recognize the validity / invalidity of the stop function and the automatic settlement function. You may.

Next, FIG. 155 shows an effect display device when the "notification setting mode" is determined to be "2 present" and the "stop setting mode" is determined to be "at the end of 3 BB1" and the stop is actually performed. It is a display image figure in S40.

As shown in the figure, the effect display device S40 displays "BB1 end" which triggered the stoppage, and "300 medals acquired" which is the number of game medals acquired in BB1. The message "Please call the staff during the suspension" that is displayed when the "Notification setting mode" is set to "2 Yes" will be displayed. In this way, when the "notification setting mode" is set to "2", the player can proceed with the game without being confused by notifying the player that the game has been stopped. Further, although not shown, the effect display device S40 is configured to be able to display information indicating that the automatic settlement has been executed even when the automatic settlement is executed.

The configuration of the operating members illustrated in the eleventh embodiment is just an example, and any combination of the operating members controlled by the main control board M may be used.

In addition, as a release method in the case of being stopped, the player may not be able to release it, and the administrator may be able to release it. For example, opening the front door DU (key for opening the front door DU) It may be configured so that it can be canceled by operating (off → on) or the setting / reset button M30.

Further, when the automatic settlement is executed, the game may be executed (the game medal can be inserted) as soon as the settlement is completed, as in the case where the player operates the settlement switch. , The game may be configured so that the game can be executed after the administrator operates the same as the stop.

The conditions for shifting to the "stop / automatic settlement setting mode" illustrated in FIGS. 153 to 155 are merely examples.
(1) Transition to setting confirmation mode (2) Press and hold the setting / reset button M30 (for example, keep it on for 3 seconds) when all reels are stopped (3) Open the front door DU and main The transition condition may be the operation of any of the operating members controlled by the control board M. In addition, in the case of the above-mentioned (2) or (3), it is possible to shift to the stop / automatic settlement setting mode even during the business of the amusement park and switch the setting related to the stop / automatic settlement.

Further, the above-mentioned information of the specific RAM area may be configured to be cleared when the setting is changed, or may be configured not to be cleared.

<Other applicable configurations related to suspension / automatic settlement>
The configuration related to stop / automatic settlement applicable to the game machine according to this example will be described in detail below. It should be added that one or more configurations described in detail below can be applied to all the embodiments according to this example.

After executing the processing related to turning on / off the advantageous section indicator YH, it may be configured to execute the processing of stopping and automatic settlement. With this configuration, the lighting or extinguishing status of the advantageous section indicator YH can be matched with the game section of the next game.

The difference number is specified when the difference number is equal to or more than the specified value (for example, 500 sheets) and the player is configured to satisfy the predetermined condition or the specific condition when the advantageous state for the player ends. If the stop flag or the automatic settlement flag is turned on when the value is exceeded, and then the difference number falls below the specified value again by the end of the advantageous state for the player (for example, the advantageous section), the stop flag is set. Alternatively, the automatic settlement flag may be configured to be turned off (stopping or automatic settlement is not executed), or may be left on (stopping or automatic settlement is executed). As a specific example, any one of "5 difference number more than 500", "6 difference number more than 1000", "5 difference number 500 or more", and "6 difference number 1000 or more" is set as a predetermined condition ( In the case of (decision), even if a certain game is executed and the difference number satisfies a predetermined condition, the predetermined bonus is being executed (sometimes referred to as a predetermined game state) after the end of the certain game. In some cases, the stop processing may not be executed immediately (the flag is turned on), and the stop process may be executed when the predetermined bonus is completed.

If the game is configured to be stopped by stopping or automatic settlement, and the symbol combination related to the re-game is stopped and displayed in the game that is stopped or automatically settled, the game is stopped or stopped before the automatic bet related to the re-game is executed. It may be configured to perform automatic settlement, or it may be configured to execute stop or automatic settlement after executing automatic betting.

Even if the game is stopped due to stoppage or automatic settlement, the menu screen and QR code can be displayed by operating the operation member controlled by the sub-control board S such as the sub-input button SB by the player. Good. With this configuration, even if the player does not recognize that the game will be stopped and the game is stopped due to the stoppage, the game history can be saved without any problem. Further, in such a configuration, even if the power is cut off, the data related to the game history may be retained.

From the start of the display of the end screen (bonus end screen, advantageous section end screen, AT end screen, etc.) that notifies the player that the advantageous state ends, without operating the operating members (without proceeding with the game) ) When the standby screen can be displayed after a predetermined time has elapsed, and when the end screen is displayed when the game is stopped due to a stop, the standby screen is not displayed even after the predetermined time has elapsed. You may. Further, if a power failure occurs during the display of the end screen, the normal screen (a screen different from the end screen and the standby screen) or the standby screen may be displayed after the power is restored.

When the game is stopped due to stoppage or automatic settlement, if the output condition of the external signal related to stoppage or automatic settlement is satisfied, the external signal is output even if the game is stopped due to stoppage or automatic settlement. May be configured to be sustainable.

When the game is configured to be stopped by stopping or automatic settlement, when the game is stopped, the lamp unit is turned on in red and the back lamp is turned off so that the game field manager can easily recognize the game stop. It may be configured to turn on / off in a lighting mode (combination of the lighting mode of the lamp unit and the lighting mode of the back lamp) that can be easily distinguished from the progress.

The voice data being settled may be the same or different between the settlement executed by the player operating the settlement button and the automatic settlement.

In a situation where one or more game medals are electrically stored in the credit and one or more game medals are bet.
(1) When the automatic settlement is executed, both the credit and bet game medals are settled, and even when the settlement is executed by the player operating the settlement button, the credit and the bet are settled. Any game medal may be configured to be settled.
(2) When the automatic settlement is executed, both the credit and bet game medals are settled, and when the settlement is executed by the player operating the settlement button, the bet game medal is settled. It may be configured to settle only.
(3) When the automatic settlement is executed, both the credit and bet game medals are settled, and when the settlement is executed by the player operating the settlement button, the medals are stored in the credit. Only the game medals may be settled.

As described above in FIGS. 153 and 154, when the end condition of the stop / automatic settlement setting mode is satisfied during the setting in the stop / automatic settlement setting mode (when the game is started, the power is cut off). If this is the case, etc.), the process of confirming the item that was being selected (the cursor was selected) in the stop / automatic settlement setting mode may be executed.

A mechanical switch that can be physically switched on and off may be provided. As an example, a mechanical switch for stopping and a mechanical switch for automatic settlement may be provided, and in such a configuration, the predetermined condition and the specific condition are predetermined in the game machine. It may be a condition. Further, a mechanical switch related to stop or automatic settlement may be provided, and stop or automatic settlement may be set (can be set by software) in the above-mentioned stop / automatic settlement setting mode. If a mechanical switch is provided, the execution conditions for stopping or automatic settlement will be set when the switch is turned from off to on.

The gaming machine according to this example is configured to execute an error display on a display unit (for example, payout number display device D270) controlled by the main control board M when an error is detected (for example, when a inserted medal retention error is detected). I'm doing it
(1) When the game is stopped by stopping or automatic settlement, the display unit does not display that the game has stopped. (2) When the game is stopped by stopping or automatic settlement, the display is displayed. The unit executes the display of the display mode different from that at the time of error detection. (3) When the game is stopped due to the stop or automatic settlement, the display unit executes the display of the same display mode as at the time of error detection. It may be configured as follows.

If a predetermined error (for example, a inserted medal retention error) is detected during the execution of the settlement process related to the automatic settlement, the execution of the settlement process is stopped and the predetermined error state is set (notification related to the predetermined error). May be configured to execute). Further, in such a configuration, the payout sensor detects the payout of the first game medal after detecting a predetermined error (one game medal is turned on and off by the first payout sensor and the second payout sensor). It may be configured to stop the withdrawal related to the settlement process immediately after the withdrawal is deemed to have been made.

If a predetermined error (for example, a inserted medal retention error) is detected during the execution of the settlement process related to the automatic settlement, a predetermined error state is set after the settlement process is completed (notification related to the predetermined error is executed). It may be configured to do so. In addition, when the game is configured to stop (execute the stop processing) after the execution of the automatic settlement in such a configuration, a predetermined error state is set after the stop processing is executed, thereby causing a predetermined error. Even in the state, it is possible to execute the notification related to the stop (notification related to the game stop).

When a predetermined error (for example, a inserted medal retention error) is detected during the execution of the settlement process related to the automatic settlement, the predetermined error state is set after the settlement process is completed (notification related to the predetermined error is executed). ), And when the game is configured to stop (execute the stop processing) after the execution of the automatic settlement, a predetermined error state may be set before the stop processing is executed. With such a configuration, it is possible to promptly notify that an error state has occurred.

If a predetermined error (for example, a inserted medal retention error) is detected after the reel is stopped for the game to be stopped and before the stop processing is executed, a predetermined error is executed after the stop processing is executed. By setting the error state, it is possible to execute the notification related to the stop (notification related to the game stop) even in the predetermined error state.

If a predetermined error (for example, a inserted medal retention error) is detected at a timing before the stop processing is executed after the reel is stopped for the game to be stopped, a predetermined error is made before the stop process is executed. It may be configured to be in the error state of. With such a configuration, it is possible to promptly notify that an error state has occurred.

When the game is stopped due to stoppage or automatic settlement, the operation of the operation member controlled by the sub-control board S such as the sub-input button SB may be invalidated.

When the game is stopped due to stopping or automatic settlement, it is preferable to configure the blocker to be turned off (a state in which the game medal cannot pass).

If a predetermined error (for example, a inserted medal retention error) is detected in a situation where notification related to stoppage or automatic settlement is being executed (for example, notification is performed by the effect control device S40), an error occurs. Notification may be executed and an external signal related to the error may be output. In such a case, when executing error notification,
(1) The notification related to the stop or automatic settlement is terminated and the error notification is executed (the notification may be a display on the effect display device S40 or a voice from a speaker).
(1-1) After that, if the error is canceled and the game by stopping or automatic settlement is stopped, the notification related to stopping or automatic settlement is restarted (1-2) After that, the error is canceled and the game is stopped. Alternatively, when the game by automatic settlement is stopped, the notification related to stop or automatic settlement is not restarted. (2) The effect display device S40 so that both the notification related to stop or automatic settlement and the error notification can be recognized. In different areas (or partially overlapping areas), the notification related to the stop or automatic settlement and the error notification may be configured as described above. In this example, even when the game is stopped due to stopping or automatic settlement, it is possible to execute the determination process of whether or not the error is a predetermined error.

In other words, in the stop / automatic settlement setting mode, the volume and the amount of light can be adjusted even in the situation where any of the screens (a) to (d) in FIG. 153 is displayed on the effect display device S40. A new screen (for example, (e) different from (a) to (d)) not shown in FIG. 153 may be provided so that the volume and volume may be increased during the display of the new screen. It may be configured so that the amount of light can be adjusted.

When the stop setting is in progress (the situation where "1 none" is determined in the stop setting mode), the setting is higher than when the stop setting is not in progress (the situation where "1 none" is determined in the stop setting mode). It may be configured to relatively increase the appearance rate of the suggestion effect (an effect that suggests the current set value, and the presence / absence of execution and the execution frequency differ depending on the current set value), and is configured as such. This makes it possible to improve the player's willingness to play during the stop setting.

When a predetermined condition for executing the stop processing and a specific condition for executing the automatic settlement processing are set as the same condition, and if the same condition is satisfied, after the automatic settlement processing is executed. It may be configured to execute the stop processing. Further, in such a configuration, even if it is configured to execute the stop processing after the last game medal related to the automatic settlement processing is paid out (passes through the first payout sensor and the second payout sensor). Good.

When only the stop function is valid (the predetermined conditions for stopping are set and the specific conditions for automatic settlement are not set), or the predetermined conditions for executing the stop processing and the automatic settlement processing are When the stop processing is executed when the specific condition to be executed is set as a condition different from the specific condition to be executed, the settlement process may be configured to be executable by operating the settlement button during the stop.

While the settlement process related to the automatic settlement is being executed, the settlement process by operating the settlement button may not be executed (the settlement process is not newly executed by operating the settlement button).

The situation in which the stop setting is in progress may be referred to as "the stop function is effective", and the situation in which the stop setting is not set may be referred to as "the stop function is invalid" or "the stop function is not effective". Further, determining the predetermined condition may be referred to as "determining the predetermined condition", and the option of the predetermined condition described above in FIG. 152 or the like may be referred to as a "specific condition candidate". May include or may not include "1 none". Further, satisfying the determined predetermined condition may be referred to as "specific condition".

Further, the predetermined conditions of "5 difference number of sheets exceeding 500 sheets" and "6 difference number of sheets exceeding 1000 sheets" described above in FIG. 152 are satisfied by "the number of game media acquired in the predetermined period exceeds the predetermined number". The predetermined conditions of "5 difference number of 500 sheets or more" and "6 difference number of 1000 sheets or more" are sometimes referred to as "the number of game media acquired in a predetermined period has exceeded the predetermined number". It may be called.

Further, as described above with reference to FIG. 152, in this example, a selection candidate for a predetermined condition regarding stoppage (sometimes referred to as a specific condition A selection candidate) and a selection candidate for a specific condition regarding automatic settlement (specific condition) (Sometimes referred to as B selection candidate) is configured so as to partially overlap, but the selection candidate of a predetermined condition for stopping and the selection candidate of a specific condition for automatic settlement are
(1) All candidates are different (2) All candidates are the same (3) Only a part is the same Any of the above may be used. Even in the case of the above (2) or (3), it is possible to make the predetermined condition to be determined (set) and the specific condition to be determined (set) the same. However, it should be added that it is possible to make a difference.

The stop function can also be applied to pachinko gaming machines. As a specific example, as a stop processing, the firing function stop processing (the game ball is not fired even if the firing handle D44 is operated) and the entry of the game ball into various entrances are invalidated (entering the winning opening). The game ball is not paid out even if the ball is balled, the random number is not acquired even if the ball enters the ball entrance, etc.) Processing and the like can be mentioned. As an alternative to the difference in the number of revolving game machines, the difference between the number of fired balls and the number of payout balls related to winning (subtracting the number of fired balls from the number of payout balls related to winning) and related to winning. The total number of payout balls, which is the cumulative number of payout balls, can be mentioned.

(12th Embodiment)
In the tenth embodiment, the configuration having the performance display device SH has been described in detail, but the configuration of the performance display device SH applicable to this example is not limited to that of the tenth embodiment. Therefore, the configuration of the performance display device SH applicable to this example will be described in detail below as a twelfth embodiment.

First, FIG. 156 is a display example of the performance display device SH in the twelfth embodiment. In the figure, only the differences from the tenth embodiment will be described in detail.

<Display mode>
The display mode of the performance display device SH in the twelfth embodiment is configured as follows.

As a display item
(A) = Cumulative advantageous section ratio or cumulative total instructed bonus ratio (b) = Continuous bonus ratio between 6000 games (c) = Cumulative bonus ratio between 6000 games (d) = Cumulative continuous bonus ratio (E) = Cumulative bonus ratio (f) = Cumulative bonus status ratio is displayed.

In the performance display device SH in the twelfth embodiment, after the power is turned on to the game machine, "(a)->(b)->(c)->(d)->(e)->(f)-> (a) ... The display is switched in the order of "・" for about 5 seconds. If the power is cut off in the middle of the lighting pattern, the configuration may be as follows. Here, a case where a power failure occurs 2 seconds after the lighting pattern (c) is set will be illustrated.
(1) Lighting starts from the beginning of the display item (a) (2) Lighting starts from the beginning of the display item (c) (3) Lighting restarts 2 seconds after the display item (c) The configuration as described above. You may.
In addition, in the case of the above configurations (2) and (3), when the RAM is cleared (at the end of the setting change mode), the lighting starts from the beginning of the display item (a). Good.

Further, the cumulative number of games may be the number of games since the power is turned on, the number of games after the RAM is cleared, the number of games since the factory shipment, or a predetermined RAM area. It may be the number of games backed up.

(F) = Cumulative bonus status ratio The "cumulative bonus status ratio" is "(cumulative number of games played when the first-class special bonus is activated + total number of games when the second-class special bonus is activated". Number of games + Cumulative number of games when the normal bonus is activated + Cumulative number of games when the first-class bonus continuous operation device is activated + Number of games when the first-class special bonus is not activated + Cumulative second-class bonus continuous actuator It can be calculated by "the number of games played when the Type 2 special accessory is not activated) / total number of games played x 100 (%)". As an example, the cumulative number of games played when the first-class special character is activated: 300 games, the cumulative number of games played when the second-class special character is activated: 100 games, and the cumulative number of games played when the normal character is activated: 100 games. , 200 games when the first-class special bonus is not activated, and the second-class special bonus is not activated when the second-class continuous actuator is activated. When the number of games played at the time is 50 games and the total number of games played is 30,000 games, it is calculated as "(300 + 100 + 100 + 200 + 50) ÷ (30000) x 100 = 2.5 (%)".

In addition, when calculating the cumulative state ratio of the above-mentioned bonuses, etc., if the game machine does not have the second-class special bonuses, the total number of games played when the second-class special bonuses are activated. , The total number of games played when the Type 2 special bonus is not activated is not used, and "(Total number of games played when the Type 1 special bonus is activated + Cumulative normal) is not used. Calculated as "Number of games played when the character is activated + Cumulative number of games when the Type 1 special character continuous operating device is activated) / Cumulative total number of games x 100 (%)" Will be done. In this way, when calculating the display items to be displayed on the performance display device SH, the display items are calculated without using elements that are not included in the specifications of the game machine (displays other than the cumulative status ratio of accessories, etc.). The same applies to items).

As described above, in the twelfth embodiment, the game executed inside the BB or RB (RT2 in FIG. 28, etc.) is a molecule for calculating the cumulative bonus state ratio (the first cumulative number). Number of games played when the type special bonus is activated + Cumulative number of games played when the type 2 special bonus is activated + Cumulative number of games played when the normal bonus is activated + Cumulative number of games when the first class bonus continuous actuator is activated Not measured as the number of games when the type special bonus is not activated + the cumulative number of games when the type 2 special bonus continuous operation device is activated) (the number of games is not counted) It is configured as.

When the storage area for storing the total number of games, which is the information of the denominator used when calculating the display item, is the upper limit value (for example, "FFFFFF (H)" in the case of a 3-byte storage area). If the update process is "+1" and the digits overflow, the total number of games may not be updated after the next game of the game. In such a configuration, the molecular information, such as the total number of games played when the Type 1 special accessory is activated, may not be updated, or the total number of games played may have overflowed. It may be configured to store "1" in the storage area for storing. Further, it may be configured to manage whether to turn on or blink the display on the performance display device SH by referring to the storage area for storing the total number of games (storage area and display items used for lighting / blinking management). It may also be used as a storage area used for the calculation of). The configuration related to the overflow of digits is not limited to the storage area for storing the total number of games played, and is applicable to any information used when calculating the display items to be displayed on the performance display device SH. It is possible.

Further, "5H" ("5H.") Displayed on the identification segment SH10 indicates that the cumulative status ratio of the accessory or the like is displayed.

In the performance display device SH according to the twelfth embodiment, when the ratio display value is 50% or more of the cumulative accessory state ratio, the ratio segment SH20 is blinking and displayed.

Further, as described above, as the display item of (a), either one of the cumulative advantageous section ratio and the cumulative instructed accessory ratio may be displayed, and the cumulative advantageous section ratio is displayed. In this case, "7P" ("7P.") Is displayed on the identification seg SH10, and "7U" ("7U.") Is displayed on the identification seg SH10 when the cumulative ratio of the indicated accessory is displayed. It is configured as.

Further, as described above in the tenth embodiment, the process related to the performance display monitor SH according to the twelfth embodiment may be configured to be executed as a process in the second ROM / RAM area. In such a configuration, the ratio calculation process of step 1637-7 (13th) is executed as a process in the second ROM / RAM area. In addition, as described above, when calculating the "cumulative status ratio of the bonuses, etc.", "(the number of games played when the cumulative first-class special bonus is activated + the cumulative number of games when the second-class special bonus is activated" Number of games + Cumulative number of games when the normal bonus is activated + Cumulative number of games when the first-class bonus continuous actuator is activated + Number of games when the first-class special bonus is not activated + Cumulative second-class bonus continuous actuator The total number of games played when the Type 2 special accessory is not activated) ÷ the total number of games played x 100 (%), which is used as the numerator, and is used as the numerator when the Type 1 special accessory is activated. Number of games + Cumulative number of games when Type 2 special bonus is activated + Cumulative number of games when normal bonus is activated + Cumulative number of games when Type 1 bonus continuous actuator is activated + Type 1 special bonus is not activated The number of games played + the total number of games played when the Type 2 special accessory continuous operating device is not operating, and the "total number of games played" used as the denominator are stored in the second RAM area. The Rukoto.

Here, after the power is turned on, the checksum is referred to and it is determined that the power off / return data is normal (for example, after the processes of step 1016 and step 1028 in FIG. 13 are executed), the power off / down process is executed. The period before the checksum is calculated (for example, before the execution of the process of step 1906 in FIG. 36) (in other words, the period during which the game can be executed, the period during which the game is executed, and the setting change mode). The molecular data used when calculating the "cumulative accessory state ratio" due to noise generated during the period of (or the period of the setting confirmation mode), in other words, the second RAM area is stored. "Cumulative number of games played when Type 1 special bonus is activated + Cumulative number of games played when Type 2 special bonus is activated + Cumulative number of games played when normal bonus is activated + Cumulative Type 1 bonus continuous operation device Abnormality in one or more information of "the number of games when the first type special accessory is not activated + the total number of games when the second type special accessory continuous operation device is activated" Is generated and the value is changed, and the denominator "total number of games played" is more molecular than "cumulative number of games played when the first type special character is activated + total number of second type special characters is activated". The number of games played at the time + the total number of games played when the normal bonus is activated + the cumulative number of games played when the first-class bonus continuous operating device is activated + the cumulative number of games when the first-class special bonus is not activated + the cumulative second-class bonus continuous Even when the "number of games played when the type 2 special accessory is not activated" when the operating device is activated becomes a larger value, in the twelfth embodiment, the ratio calculation which is the processing in the second ROM / RAM area is performed. In the process, the calculation related to the "cumulative accessory state ratio" is executed, and the display process on the performance display monitor SH is performed based on the result of the calculation process {for example, the ratio display process in step 1637-8 (13th)}. Is configured to execute (performs the same processing as when no noise is generated). The "cumulative bonus status ratio" is just an example, and the cumulative advantageous section ratio, cumulative directed bonus ratio, continuous bonus ratio between 6000 games, and bonus ratio between 6000 games, Regarding the cumulative continuous bonus ratio and the cumulative bonus ratio, when noise occurs and the information used for the calculation stored in the second RAM area changes, the above-mentioned "cumulative bonus" It may be configured to have the same effect as in the case of "equal state ratio". In other words, after the power is turned on and the checksum is referred to to determine that the power off / return data is normal (for example, after the processes in steps 1016 and 1028 in FIG. 13 are executed), the power off / down process is executed. The period before the checksum is calculated (for example, before the execution of the process of step 1906 in FIG. 36) (in other words, the period during which the game can be executed, the period during which the game is executed, and the setting change mode). During the period of (or the period of the setting confirmation mode), the determination of whether the numerator value is larger than the denominator value (error check processing) is not executed. With such a configuration, even if the numerator value becomes larger than the denominator value due to noise or the like during a game just before the store is closed, the error does not cause a disadvantage to the player. , It becomes possible to advance the game.

After executing the power off / off process to calculate the checksum (for example, after executing the process of step 1906 in FIG. 36), the power is turned on, and the power off / return data is referred to with reference to the checksum. Noise in the period before it is determined whether or not is normal (for example, before the processing of step 1016 and step 1028 in FIG. 13 is executed) (in other words, the period when the power is off). When one or more information of the molecular data or denominator data used when calculating the "cumulative accessory state ratio" is abnormal and the value is changed due to the occurrence of (1) If No is determined in step 1016, an unrecoverable error occurs, and if No is determined in step 1028, RAM including information used for calculation stored in the second RAM area is included. (2) If No is determined in step 1016, an unrecoverable error occurs, and if No is determined in step 1028, it is used for the calculation stored in the second RAM area. It may be configured to perform RAM initialization without including information.

As an example, the configuration regarding the action when the above noise is generated has been described in detail in the case of calculating the “cumulative accessory state ratio”, but the action when the noise applicable to this example is generated is related. The composition is not limited to the case of calculating the "cumulative bonus status ratio", but is "cumulative advantageous section ratio or cumulative designated bonus ratio", "continuous bonus ratio between 6000 games", " It can also be applied when calculating the "role ratio between 6000 games", "cumulative continuous character ratio", and "cumulative character ratio".

Although the configuration related to the display on the performance display device SH has been described in detail in the twelfth embodiment, the configuration of the twelfth embodiment can be applied to a game machine that does not have the performance display device SH. More specifically, even in a game machine that does not have the performance display device SH, the calculation of the display item is executed and the calculation result is transmitted from the game machine to the outside of the game machine as in the twelfth embodiment. Alternatively, the information used for the calculation of the display item may be measured (counted), and the measurement result (counting result) may be transmitted from the game machine to the outside of the game machine (calculation outside the game machine). Will be executed).

An example of such a configuration will be described in detail below as a thirteenth embodiment. Any of the above-mentioned configurations may be applied as a configuration that does not affect whether or not the game medal is used. A medal-less rotating game machine is a rotating game machine that uses points without using game medals (including physical medals and metal pieces for detecting by a sensor).

<<< Functional block diagram of a medalless rotating game machine >>>
First, FIG. 157 is a functional block diagram applicable to the medalless rotary body type gaming machine of this example. In the figure, a hard interface showing a physical connection with a cable and a soft interface showing a command transmission mode are shown.

<< Inside the game machine >>
Inside the medalless rotating game machine, there are a main control board that controls the progress of the game, a payout control board that controls the score, and a connection terminal board that can send and receive information to and from the outside of the game machine. have. Although not shown, an external terminal plate for outputting an external signal to the outside of the game machine may be provided.

<Main control board>
When the 1-bet button is operated in a valid state, a 1-sheet insertion switch signal, which is a signal to bet 1 point, is transmitted to the main control board. If a new one-sheet insertion switch signal is transmitted to the main control board in a situation where one point has already been bet, the number of bets will be two points. Further, when the 3-bet button (also referred to as the max bet button) is operated in a valid state, a 3-card input switch signal, which is a signal to bet 3 points, is transmitted to the main control board. To. The specified number of game machines according to the figure is three points. Further, when the return button is operated in a valid state, a return button signal for returning the bet score to the player is transmitted to the main control board. The bet score is transmitted to the payout control board described later, and the payout control board adds points as a return of the score (hereinafter, may be referred to as a return to the payout control board or a return to the payout control board, etc.). Yes), the score for the returned amount is added to the total score display device and displayed.

Further, the main control board transmits the input number data, which is information related to the display of the score bet, to the input number display device, so that the score bet on the input number display device is displayed. In addition, when the player is given a score due to the stop display of the winning combination (due to winning), the main control board displays the winning number data, which is information on the display of the winning number. By transmitting to the device, the score to be given is displayed on the winning number display device. As an example of the display mode, when the score to be given is 8 points, the score to be given may be displayed directly as "0 → 8", or "0 → 1 → 2 → ... The score given in stages may be displayed as in "→ 8" ("0" in the above may be hidden).

Further, although not shown, the main control board operates as a medal insertion signal, which is a signal indicating that a score has been bet (inserted), and a signal regarding the game status (for example, whether or not a bonus is being played). It may be configured so that the state, the door opening signal which is a signal regarding the opening of the front door, and the security signal which is a signal regarding the occurrence status of an error can be transmitted to the external terminal board.

Further, the main control board is configured to be able to send and receive control commands to and from the payout control board (two-way communication is possible). Here, the control command is a command related to the progress of the game, a command related to the payout of the score, a command related to the settlement of the score, an input request command for requesting the input of the score, and an electromagnetic wave related to the score stored in the game machine. The number of medals command, etc. Further, the payout control board is configured to be able to transmit a game enable signal, which is a command relating to the fact that the game can be progressed at present, to the main control board.

The main control board and the payout control board may be connected to the connection terminal board without using the external terminal board. In this case as well, the number of parts can be reduced, the configuration can be simplified, and signal deterioration can be prevented for appropriate communication. When the main control board and the payout control board are connected to the connection terminal board via the external terminal board, the external terminal board connects the main control board and the rental machine via the connection terminal board. .. The external terminal board receives a medal insertion signal, an operating state, a door opening signal, and a security signal from the main control board. Further, the external terminal board receives a medal payout signal, which is a signal to the effect that the score is paid out (given to the player), from the payout control board. In addition, the external terminal board has a medal insertion signal, which is a signal indicating that a score has been bet (inserted), an operating state, which is a signal relating to the game status (for example, whether or not a bonus is being played), and the front door. The door open signal, which is a signal related to opening, the security signal, which is a signal related to the occurrence of an error, and the medal payout signal, which is a signal that points are paid out (given to the player), are sent to the outside of the game machine (book). In the example, it is configured so that it can be output to the rental machine).

<Payout control board>
The payout control board is connected to the main control board so as to be capable of bidirectional communication. Further, an external terminal board, a total score display device, and a counting button (sometimes referred to as a settlement button) are electrically connected to the payout control board. When the counting button is operated in a valid state, a counting button signal, which is a signal indicating that the settlement operation has been executed, is transmitted to the payout control board. In addition, the payout control board can transmit game medal number data, which is information on the display of the current total score possessed by the player, to the total score display device, and the total score is displayed on the total score display device. It is configured as. When the counting button is operated to settle the score, (1) the bet score and the score stored in the payout control board (in the total score display device stored in the payout control board). It is configured to settle both the displayed score) and (2) only the bet score is settled when there is a bet score, and stored in the payout control board when there is no bet score. It may be configured to settle the score that has been set. Further, when the counting button is operated to settle the score, only a part of the score stored in the payout control board may be settled or all of the score may be settled. Further, when an error has occurred in the game machine or when the game is in progress, the operation of the counting button can be invalidated so that the settlement process is not executed. By doing so, the points can be added or subtracted at an appropriate timing, and it is possible to prevent doubts about the qualified calculation result. Even when an error has occurred or the game is in progress, the counting button may be enabled so that the settlement process can be executed at all times.

The payout control board is equipped with a CPU similar to that of the main control means, and executes a main loop process and a timer interrupt process that is activated every 1 ms. In the timer interrupt processing, input port reading processing, command reception processing, lending notification reception processing, game machine information management processing, counting control processing, lending control processing, LED display processing, ratio display preparation processing, and the like are executed. The input port reading process performs a process of creating level data and rising data in order to detect an operation input of a counting button (hereinafter, also referred to as a "counting switch") or a RAM clear switch. In addition, the process of confirming the power failure detection signal and saving the power failure detection flag is performed. In the command reception process, when the input request command from the main control board is received, the input number is subtracted from the total score, and when the return request command is received, the input number is added from the total score. The lending notification receiving process performs a process for receiving a lending notification from the lending machine. The game machine information management process performs a process of setting various flags (for example, a game machine performance information flag and a game machine installation information flag) according to the results of updating various timer values and updating various timer values. When the counting switch is operated, the counting control process sends a counting notification to the rental machine or updates the counting serial number. The lending control process checks the lending serial number when the lending notification is received from the lending machine, and sends the lending receipt result to the lending machine. The LED display process executes lighting control of the total score display device. The ratio display preparation process executes arithmetic processing for displaying the ratio on the performance display device. In the main loop process, the power failure process is executed when a power failure is detected.

In the present embodiment, the payout control board has a first storage area for storing the score stored in the above-mentioned payout control board (hereinafter, may be simply referred to as “total score”), and the first storage area. When the total score stored in is erased (cleared), a second control area for storing the total score to be erased later is provided, and a RAM clear switch (both not shown) is provided. ing. By operating this RAM clear switch once (specifically, when the RAM clear switch is a press-type button, pressing the button once, etc.), the payout control board The total score stored in the first storage area is erased (cleared). At the time of this erasure, the total score stored in the first storage area is stored in the second storage area. Specifically, when the RAM clear switch is operated, the payout control board stores the total score stored in the first storage area in the second storage area, and then erases the total score in the first storage area. Perform the processing to be performed.

Further, the data initialized by operating the RAM clear switch is only the total score, and other data are not cleared. For example, if 3 is stored as the number of bets and 1000 is stored as the total score and the RAM clear switch is operated, only 1000 of the total score is cleared and 3 of the total score is not cleared. ing. In the present embodiment, the range cleared by operating the RAM clear switch is limited to the above-mentioned total score, but it goes without saying that the clear range can be appropriately set according to the specifications and the like.

The total score stored in the second storage area is saved until the power is turned off or the setting is changed. In other words, the total score stored in the second storage area is either the power-off processing when the power is turned off, the power-off recovery processing when the power is restored from the power-off, or the above-mentioned setting change. It is designed to be erased by clearing the RAM of. Therefore, even after the total score has been erased from the first storage area by the above-mentioned RAM clear switch, the hall staff opens the staff menu and selects a menu such as "confirm total score" from the menu. The total score can be confirmed by. In this way, by providing the second storage area for confirming the total score to be erased later, after the total score stored in the first storage area is erased by the operation of the RAM clear switch. Even if there is, the total score erased from the first storage area can be confirmed, so that the security can be improved.

In the present embodiment, in order to confirm the total score later, the total score stored in the first storage area is stored in the second storage area by operating the RAM clear switch. If it is not necessary to confirm the total score, it is possible to only erase the total score stored in the first storage area by operating the RAM clear switch. In this case, since it is not necessary to provide the second storage area, the program capacity can be reduced.

Further, in the present embodiment, the total score is erased by operating the RAM clear switch once, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the RAM clear switch is continuously operated for a certain period of time (for example, 5 seconds, etc.). (For example, if the RAM clear switch is a push button type, the push button may be pressed for a certain period of time (so-called long press) to erase the total score), or the RAM may be erased. The total score may be erased by turning off the power and returning the power while the clear switch is being operated. It is easy by adopting an operation mode that takes a little time and effort to operate the RAM clear switch once, such as pressing and holding the RAM clear switch and returning the power to off while operating the RAM clear switch. Since the total score cannot be erased, it is possible to prevent the total score from being unintentionally erased by accidentally operating the RAM clear switch during maintenance.

In this example, the above-mentioned total score display device includes a game medal (a game medal displayed on the credit number display device D200) that is electrically stored by the storage device in a game machine that uses the game medal. It is configured to display the score corresponding to the total number of game medals including the game medals paid out to the outside of the game machine such as the medal tray D230, but the total score display device and the storage device are not limited to this. May be used in combination with. In such a configuration, the total score display device displays a score corresponding to the number of game medals paid out to the outside of the game machine such as the medal tray D230 in the game machine using the game medal. ..

<< Rental machine operation unit >>

When the replay switch is operated in the enabled state, the replay switch signal, which is a signal indicating that the replay switch is operated, is transmitted to the rental machine. By transmitting the replay switch signal to the rental machine, the player plays a game using the score accumulated in the previous game (for example, the score electrically stored in the membership card). Scores related to replay will be stored in the game machine (for example, stored in the storage area of the payout control board). When a predetermined number (for example, 50 points) of points are stored in the game machine by operating the replay switch once, the points stored by the player in the previous game are stored. If is less than a predetermined number (for example, less than 50 points), (1) the replay switch signal is not transmitted to the rental machine, (2) the score is not accumulated (added) in the game machine, and (3) the predetermined number. It may be configured so that less than a few points are stored (added) in the game machine.

Further, when the lending button is operated in a valid state, a lending button signal, which is a signal used when storing the lending score in the lending machine, is transmitted to the lending machine. By transmitting the lending button signal to the game machine, the score is transferred from the card in which the score purchased by the player on the day is stored to the game machine. When a predetermined number (for example, 50 points) of points are stored in the game machine by operating the lending button once, the points stored in the card are less than the predetermined number (for example, 50 points). If it is less than the points), (1) the lending button signal is not transmitted to the lending machine, (2) the points are not stored (added) in the game machine, and (3) the points less than the predetermined number are stored in the game machine. It may be configured to be (added). In addition, if the return switch is operated with the return switch enabled, the card in which the score purchased by the player on the day is stored will be returned to the player (the score remaining without being lent out). It is stored). Further, the player may be able to change the score to be stored in the game machine by operating the lending button once.

In addition, the lending machine transmits the remaining frequency data, which is information related to the display of the score stored in the card purchased on the day described above, to the residual frequency display device, thereby transmitting the card purchased on the same day to the residual frequency display device. The stored score (sometimes called the remaining frequency) is displayed (when the card purchased on the day is inserted in the rental machine). Further, in the rental machine, when the score can be rented (the score can be transferred to the game machine), the rentable LED can be rented by transmitting the rentable LED signal to the rentable LED (for example,). , Lighting), and the player can recognize that it can be rented. The rentable mode may be lit and the non-rentable mode may be turned off, the rentable mode may be lit in green, and the non-rentable mode may be lit in red. As an example of whether or not it is possible to lend, it is possible to lend when points are stored in the membership card inserted in the lending machine or the card purchased on the day (more than a predetermined number of points are stored). It may be configured to be.

When communication is not possible between the game machine and the rental machine, it is preferable not to proceed with the game in order to manage the score. For example, the game can be prevented from proceeding by not accepting the operation of the start lever or the bet button.

<< Rental machine >>
In addition, the rental machine pays out the ball ejection performance information, which is various information regarding the ball ejection of the game machine, the medal insertion signal, which is a signal indicating that the score has been bet (inserted), and the score (the score is paid out to the hall computer). A medal payout signal that is a signal to the effect (given to the player), an operating state that is a signal related to the game status (for example, whether or not a bonus is being played), and a door opening signal that is a signal related to the opening of the front door. And a security signal, which is a signal related to the occurrence status of an error, are configured to be transmitted. In addition, the rental machine is configured to send information about the maximum difference number of sheets (sometimes called MY) on the day, game machine installation information, etc., which will be described later, to the management computer, each company center, and the game machine information center. There is. If you want to play the game by purchasing instead of lending the score, replace "rental machine" with "purchasing machine" (also called a dedicated unit in each case), and "rent the score to the game machine" to "game machine". Can be replaced with "Transfer of scores".

Next, FIG. 163 is a flow regarding notification of game machine information. In the figure, the transmission and reception of information between the rotating machine type game machine side and the rental machine side is shown. Note that the figure shows a case where HC / fraud monitoring information is transmitted as a game machine information notification to be transmitted from the game machine side to the rental machine side.

First, the power is turned on to the game machine, and the game machine information notification is transmitted from the game machine side to the rental machine side at a predetermined timing. The serial number in the game machine information notification immediately after the power is turned on is 0. Then, after about 100 ms, the counting notification is transmitted from the game machine side to the rental machine side. The counting serial number in the counting notification immediately after the power is turned on is 0. Then, within 170 ms, the rental notice is transmitted from the rental machine side to the game machine side. The rental serial number in the rental notification immediately after the power is turned on is 0. Then, within 10 ms, the loan receipt result response is transmitted from the game machine side to the rental machine side. The loan serial number is 0 in the loan receipt result response immediately after the power is turned on. After that, the timing is 20 ms or more, and about 300 ms after the previous transmission timing of the game machine information notification, the game machine information notification is transmitted from the game machine side to the rental machine side again. The serial number in the game machine information notification is 1.

As described above, in this example, the serial number of the game machine information notification becomes 0 at the first time after the power is turned on, and then "0 → 1 → 2 → 3 → ... → 255" is added by 1 for each command transmission. It is configured to be done. Similarly, at the first time after the power is turned on, the counting serial number becomes 0, and then "0-> 1-> 2-> 3-> ...-> 255" is added by 1 for each command transmission. Similarly, at the first time after turning on the power, the rental serial number will be 0, and then "0 → 1 → 2 → 3 → ... → 255" will be added by 1 for each command transmission (every rental notification transmission). It is configured.

After that, the game machine information notification is transmitted about every 300 ms, and the game machine information notification having a serial number of 255 is transmitted from the game machine side to the rental machine side. After that, the counting notification, the lending notification, and the lending receipt result response are transmitted and received, and about 300 ms after the gaming machine information notification having the serial number of 255 is transmitted from the gaming machine side to the lending machine side, the gaming machine information notification is sent again to the gaming machine side. Will be sent to the rental machine side, but the serial number is configured to be 1. That is, the serial number becomes 0 only immediately after one power is turned on, and thereafter, it is configured to change as "1 → 2 → ... → 255 → 1 → 2 → ...".

Although not shown, as a game machine information notification, the game machine installation information is transmitted from the game machine side to the rental machine side every 30s, and the game machine performance information is transmitted from the game machine side to the rental machine side every 120s. It is configured to be. When the transmission timing of any of the game machine performance information, the game machine installation information, and the HC / fraud monitoring information is duplicated, (1) a priority is set and only a command having a high priority is transmitted, (2) 1 It may be configured to transmit all in the interrupt processing of one time. As a specific example of the priority when configured as in (1) above, the configuration is as follows: "game machine performance information-> game machine installation information-> HC / fraud monitoring information" in descending order of priority. Alternatively, the information may be configured in the order of "HC / fraud monitoring information-> game machine installation information-> game machine performance information" in descending order of priority.

As described above, in this example, a serial number is provided in the game machine information notification, and the serial number is configured so that the commands can be consistent (for example, the next time the game machine information notification with the serial number is 5). If the serial number of the game machine information notification is not 6, it can be determined to be abnormal). The serial number is configured to be stored in a predetermined storage area.

Further, when transmitting a serial number, it is configured to execute a special addition process on the previously transmitted serial number (serial number stored in a predetermined storage area) and transmit the serial number.
(1) When the previous serial number is N (N is a value less than 255), the result of executing the special addition process is "N + 1".
(2) When the previous serial number is M (M is the maximum value, 255 in this example), the result of executing the special addition process is "1".
It is configured as follows. With this configuration, when 0 is transmitted as the serial number, it is possible to recognize that the power of the game machine has been turned off even in the device outside the game machine, and it is possible to detect it illegally and quickly. It can be configured to allow.

Here, the special addition process will be described in detail. First, to explain in detail the conventional general addition process, when N = 100,
(A1) When a normal addition process of adding "+1" to "100 (D)" is executed, it becomes "101 (D)".
(A2) Further, when a normal addition process of adding "+1" to "255 (D)" corresponding to M is executed, a carry occurs and the result becomes "0 (D)".
On the other hand, the case of executing the special addition process will be described in detail.
(B1) When the special addition process of adding "+1" to "100 (D)" is executed, it becomes "101 (D)".
(B2) Further, when executing the special addition process of "+1" for "255 (D)" corresponding to M, the carry is generated by first executing the normal addition process of "+1". Then, it becomes "0 (D)", and the carry flag becomes 1 due to the carry occurrence. Since the special addition process according to this example is configured so that when the carry flag is 1, "1 (D)" is an arbitrary value as the calculation result, "255 (D)" corresponding to M is used. When the special addition process of "+1" is executed for ")", the calculation result becomes "1 (D)".

The special addition process according to this example is configured so that when the carry flag is 1, "1 (D)" is the calculation result as an arbitrary value, but there is no problem even if the arbitrary value is changed. Instead, it may be configured to be "100 (D)".

The serial number, counting serial number, and lending serial number according to this example may be 2-byte information, and even when configured in this way,
(1) When the previous serial number is N (N is a value less than 65535), the result of executing the special addition process is "N + 1".
(2) When the previous serial number is M (M is the maximum value, 65535 in this example), the result of executing the special addition process is "1".
It may be configured as follows.

Although the serial number related to the game machine information notification has been described in detail here, the same effect is applied to the counting serial number related to the counting notification and the lending serial number related to the lending notification.

The execution timing of the above-mentioned special addition process may be any timing from after the game machine information notification is transmitted to before the next game machine information notification is transmitted. That is, it is configured to execute a special addition process in order to update the next serial number at the timing after the serial number is transmitted.

Further, when the storage area for storing the serial number related to the game machine information notification is set as the first storage area and the storage area for storing the counting serial number related to the counting notification is set as the second storage area, the first storage area and the second storage area are It may be configured to be continuous. Further, when the game machine is configured to have a storage area for storing the loan serial number related to the loan notification and the storage area for storing the loan serial number related to the loan notification is set as the third storage area, the first storage area and the third storage area are used. The storage area may be configured to be continuous, or the second storage area and the third storage area may be configured to be continuous. When the power is turned on again after the power is turned off, as described above, the serial number stored in the first storage area and the counting serial number stored in the second storage area are used. It may be configured to execute the process of setting the lending serial number stored in the third storage area to 0 (if the game machine side does not have the third storage area, the first storage area). And the second storage area may be configured to execute the process of setting to 0).

For example, as a configuration in which the first storage area, the second storage area, and the third storage area have continuous addresses, for example, the serial number is "F1A0", the counting serial number is "F1A1", and the lending serial number is ". When "F1A2" is set, the power is turned on from off, and when the process of clearing the serial number, the counting serial number, and the rental serial number to 0 is executed, the address corresponding to the serial number "F1A0" is specified and 0. If the process of clearing is executed and then the next address is cleared to 0 in the same manner is repeated twice, the serial number, the counting serial number, and the rental serial number can be cleared to 0, and the addresses of the serial number, the counting serial number, and the rental serial number can be changed. The data capacity required for the program can be reduced as compared with the case where each is specified and cleared to 0.

Further, as the game machine information notification, the information about the performance display device may be configured to be transmitted from the game machine side to the outside of the game machine (rental machine, SC board). In such a configuration, the game machine information notification may be transmitted as game machine performance information, game machine installation information, or HC / fraud monitoring information. Good. The information about the performance display device may be configured as follows.
(1) Display items described above in FIG. 156 and the like (cumulative advantageous section ratio, cumulative instruction-included bonus ratio, continuous bonus ratio between 6000 games, bonus ratio between 6000 games, cumulative continuous bonus ratio, The cumulative bonus ratio, the cumulative bonus status ratio) is transmitted from the game machine side to the outside of the game machine. That is, the display item is calculated inside the game machine, and the calculation result is transmitted outside the game machine.
(2) Elements for displaying the above-mentioned display items in FIG. 156 and the like (elements used for calculation such as the number of games played when the cumulative type 1 special accessory is activated) are transmitted from the game machine side to the outside of the game machine. That is, the display item is transmitted without being calculated inside the game machine, and is calculated outside the game machine (for example, on the SC board).
(3) Display items described above in FIG. 156 and the like (cumulative advantageous section ratio, cumulative instruction-included bonus ratio, continuous bonus ratio between 6000 games, bonus ratio between 6000 games, cumulative continuous bonus ratio, From the game machine side, the cumulative bonus ratio, the cumulative bonus status ratio) and the elements for displaying the display items (elements used for calculation such as the number of games played when the cumulative first-class special bonus is activated) Send to outside the game machine.

As described above, the game machine is configured to be able to transmit the game machine information notification to the outside at predetermined time intervals (for example, every 300 ms), but when the game machine information notification is transmitted to the outside, it is counted thereafter. While the notification is transmitted, if the game machine information notification cannot be transmitted to the outside due to the influence of noise or the like, the subsequent counting notification is not transmitted. In addition, in such a configuration, if the game machine information notification cannot be transmitted to the outside due to the influence of noise or the like, the total score will not be added based on the operation of the lending button thereafter. It is configured.

Further, as the game machine information notification, IN / OUT information may be configured to be able to be transmitted outside the game machine, and in such a configuration, the game machine information notification is transmitted as the game machine performance information. It may be transmitted as game machine installation information, or as HC / fraud monitoring information. The IN / OUT information may be configured as follows.
(1) The game is a game after the symbol combination related to the re-game is stopped and displayed as a game machine information notification at the timing after the start lever operation is accepted for the next game in which the symbol combination related to the re-game is stopped and displayed ( (Sometimes referred to as re-game operation status information) and IN information of the number of bets (for example, 3 points) in the game are transmitted from the game machine side to the outside. (2) The symbol combination related to the re-game is stopped and displayed. At the subsequent timing, as a game machine information notification, the game machine side transmits to the outside that the game is a game after the symbol combination related to the re-game is stopped and displayed, and then the game is played at the timing after the start lever operation is accepted. As the machine information notification, the IN information of the number of bets (for example, 3 points) in the game is transmitted from the game machine side to the outside (3) The game machine information at the timing after the symbol combination related to the re-game is stopped and displayed. As a notification, OUT information indicating that the score is 0 is transmitted from the game machine side to the outside, and the game machine information notification is performed at the timing after the start lever operation reception for the next game in which the symbol combination related to the re-game is stopped and displayed. , IN information indicating that the score is 0 is transmitted from the game machine side to the outside.

Next, FIG. 164 is a flow related to the loan notification command. In the figure, a configuration applicable to the rotating cylinder type gaming machine according to this example is shown as information transmission / reception between the rotating cylinder type gaming machine side and the rental machine side.

<A: Configuration 1 in which the lending button can be effective while the reel is rotating>
A game is played and the reels start spinning. After that, the rental button of the rental machine is turned off → on while the reel is rotating. The total score stored in the game machine is 30 points. As described above, the "total score" is all the scores that can be put into the medalless rotating game machine, and may be data managed by the main control board or the payout control board. The "total score" corresponds to the number of game medals placed on the medal tray of a general rotating game machine that uses a substantive game medal. When the configuration of the medalless rotating game machine is applied to the above-described embodiment, what is referred to as a "game medal" in this specification is referred to as "score", "score information", and "holding". There is no problem in treating it as "points", "point information", "game value", "game value information", etc., and as appropriate, "score", "score information", "points", "point information", There is no problem in calling it as "game value" or "game value information". It is not necessary to have "credit". The stored total score is configured to be displayed on the total score display device.

After that, the game machine information notification including the information of the total score = 30 which becomes the serial number n is transmitted from the game machine side to the rental machine side, and after about 100 ms, the counting serial number m becomes the counting point number = 0, the counting accumulated point =. A counting notification including information of 0 is transmitted from the gaming machine side to the lending machine side, and within 170 ms thereafter, a lending notification including information of the number of lending points = 50, which becomes the lending serial number p, is transmitted from the lending machine side to the gaming machine side. Will be done. After that, within 10 ms, the loan receipt result response including the information that the loan point receipt result is normal, which becomes the loan serial number p, is sent from the game machine side to the rental machine side, and 50 points, which is the loan points, is added to the total score. The total score is 30 + 50 = 80 points (the display of the total score display device is also 80 points). The above n, m, and p may have different numerical values or may be the same numerical value. After that, the timing is 20 ms or more, and about 300 ms after the previous transmission timing of the game machine information notification, the game machine information notification is transmitted from the game machine side to the rental machine side again. The serial number in the game machine information notification is n + 1.

<B: Configuration 2 in which the lending button can be effective while the reel is rotating>
A game is played and the reels start spinning. After that, the rental button of the rental machine is turned off → on while the reel is rotating. The total score stored in the game machine is 9980 points.

After that, the game machine information notification including the information of the total score = 9980, which becomes the serial number n, is transmitted from the game machine side to the rental machine side, and after about 100 ms, the counting serial number m becomes the counting score = 0, the cumulative counting score =. A counting notification including information of 0 is transmitted from the gaming machine side to the lending machine side, and within 170 ms thereafter, a lending notification including information of the number of lending points = 50, which becomes the lending serial number p, is transmitted from the lending machine side to the gaming machine side. Will be done. After that, within 10 ms, the loan receipt result response including the information that the loan point receipt result is abnormal, which is the loan serial number p, is sent from the game machine side to the rental machine side, and 50 points, which is the loan point, is added to the total score. The total score remains 9980 points (the display on the total score display device also remains 9980 points). The above n, m, and p may have different numerical values or may be the same numerical value. After that, the timing is 20 ms or more, and about 300 ms after the previous transmission timing of the game machine information notification, the game machine information notification is transmitted from the game machine side to the rental machine side again. The serial number in the game machine information notification is n + 1.

The configurations of A and B are such that the score can be lent by operating the lending button even while the reel is rotating, but the upper limit of the total score in the medalless rotating game machine according to this example. The value is 9999, and in the case where the upper limit value is not exceeded even if 50 points, which are the points added based on the operation of the lending button, are added as in A above, 30 + 50 = 80. While 50 points are lent out and added to the total score, if 50 points, which are the points added based on the operation of the lending button, are added as in B above, the upper limit of the total score is added. In the case of exceeding the above, the score of 50 points is not lent out (not added), and the total score remains 9980.

By configuring as described in A and B above, in order to execute the next game as smoothly as possible even while the reel is rotating, the score can be lent out and the total score is the upper limit. It can be configured so that the problem of exceeding the above does not occur.

In the figure, if 50 points added based on the operation of the lending button are added and the upper limit of the total score is exceeded, the configuration in which the points are not lent out is illustrated. If the total score is a predetermined value (for example, 9950), the score is not lent out (even if the lending button is operated, the lending is not performed). May be good.

A predetermined value in the above-mentioned total score, in other words, 9950 is exemplified as the maximum upper limit value of the total score that can be counted by the payout control board, but the maximum upper limit value is not limited to this. That is, the capacity of the storage area required to store the 9950 is 2 bytes, but an appropriate value such as 16383 can be set within the range of the 2 bytes. Further, it goes without saying that the number of digits that can be displayed by the total score display device can be appropriately set according to the specifications, such as 4 digits in the case of 9950 and 5 digits in the case of 16383.

Here, in a state where 3 points (specified number) are bet on the rotating game machine, the above-mentioned replay switch and lending button are operated to obtain a predetermined number of points on the rotating game machine. Due to the transfer of points to (there was a new loan, etc.), a state occurs in which a specified number of points are bet and the above-mentioned maximum upper limit (9950, 16383, etc.) is displayed. However, in this case, since the total of the bet score and the score stored in the payout control board exceeds the maximum countable upper limit value of the payout control board, even if the above-mentioned return button is operated. , The score bet by this operation is not added (not returned) to the score stored in the payout control board. This also applies when a score of 1 point and a score of 2 points are bet on the rotating cylinder type game machine. In short, the lending button or the like is operated in the bet situation, and the payout control board is used. When the total score managed in is reached the above-mentioned maximum upper limit (9950, 16383, etc.), the game is returned by operating the return button (addition to the total score) or the game progresses by operating the start switch (addition to the total score). If you win a prize, you will not be able to do so (because the upper limit will be exceeded) (note that even in situations where this game cannot proceed, the operation to the counting switch (counting button) is effective). In this case, since it is necessary to subtract the total number of points by the counting operation in order to advance the game, a notification for prompting the operation to the counting switch is performed by the image by the effect display device S40, the sound of the speaker, or the like. It has come to be called.

In the bet state, it is possible to enable the start switch to advance the game. In this case, if there is a prize and the maximum upper limit is exceeded as a result of the game, it is conceivable to stop the progress of the game as an error before adding it to the total score.

In addition, a predetermined timing before reaching the maximum upper limit value (when 16383 is the upper limit value, the timing when it becomes 16300) is set as a pre-upper limit value, and when this is reached, the maximum upper limit value is not reached. In order to do so, a notification to the effect that counting may be performed may be performed.

The following patterns can be considered as the pre-upper limit value (predetermined timing). Further, in the following pattern, the specified number is A (for example, 3), the current total score value is B (for example, any value of 0 to 16383), and the lending button is operated once from the lending machine. The maximum value of the score (hereinafter referred to as "transfer score") to be transferred (rented) to the rotating game machine is C (for example, 50), the maximum upper limit of the total score is D (for example, 16383), and it depends on the winning. The maximum score is E (for example, 15).
(Pattern 1)
The total score is the maximum upper limit D and the specified number due to the fact that a new loan is made by operating the replay switch or the loan button described above while the score of the specified number A is bet. Is bet on the following. That is, with the current total score B before betting, a bet of the specified number A is made, and after the total score after betting becomes "total score B-specified number A", a new loan is made. Therefore, when the total score after the new loan is "total score B-specified number A + transition score C" and the total score with this new loan is equal to or higher than the maximum maximum score D of the total score, the above is mentioned. Will not be returned. This is shown below as equation (1).
B-A + C ≥ D ... Equation (1)

Here, in the situation where the current total score B before the bet satisfies the following formula (2), it does not mean that the total score is the maximum upper limit value D and the specified number A is bet. In a situation where the following equation (3) is satisfied, it can be said that the total score is the maximum upper limit value D and the specified number is bet.
B <DC + A ... Equation (2)
B ≧ DC + A ・ ・ ・ Equation (3)

Specifically, the specified number A is 3, the transfer score C is 50 (for this 50, if one lending point is lent for 20 yen, it is 1000 yen), and the maximum upper limit D is 16383 mentioned above. Then, "16383-transition score C of maximum upper limit D + 50 of specified number A + 3 = 16336", and in this case, when the current total score B is less than this "16336" (when the equation (2) is satisfied). ), Even if the transfer score C is added after betting the specified number A, the specified number A + the current total score B does not exceed the maximum upper limit D of the total score, and the current total score B is this "16336" or more. In a certain case (when the equation (3) is satisfied), if the transfer score C is added after betting the specified number A, the specified number A + the current total score B exceeds the maximum upper limit value D of the total score.

Therefore, in the case of this pattern 1, the value before the current total score B satisfies the above equation (3) is set as the pre-upper limit value, and when the pre-upper limit value is reached, the notification for prompting the operation to the counting switch is made. To do. Specifically, when the current total score B becomes the above-mentioned "16336", the current total score B is less than the above-mentioned "16336" in order to satisfy the above equation (3), for example. The value that is "16335", which is one less than the above-mentioned "16336", is set as the pre-upper limit value, or in the sense of giving a margin, the upper limit value of the maximum number of grants than the above-mentioned "16336". The above-mentioned "16321", which is 15 less, and "16386", which is 50 less, are set as the pre-upper limit values, and the notification for prompting the operation to the counting switch is performed. The pre-upper limit value may be arbitrarily set from the values less than "16336". Here, since the current total score B in the situation where the pre-upper limit has been reached has not reached the maximum upper limit D, it goes without saying that the return is performed by operating the return button (about this). , The same applies to pattern 2 described later). In this way, by adopting this pattern 1 as the pre-upper limit value, it is possible to prevent problems such as the return not being performed or the game not being able to proceed due to the new lending. It is possible to provide a smooth game.

In addition, if the current total score B exceeds the pre-upper limit even once and a bet operation is performed and the current total score B falls below the pre-upper limit, a notification for prompting the operation to the counting switch is made. May be terminated, or the notification for prompting the operation of the counting switch may be continued. In this case, even if the current total score B falls below the pre-upper limit due to the betting operation, the pre-upper limit is immediately reached (the pre-upper limit is exceeded even once when the return operation or lending operation is performed). Therefore, it is possible to further encourage the player to operate the counting switch when the notification for prompting the operation to the counting switch is continued. Further, even when the notification for prompting the operation of the counting switch is terminated, it may be reduced depending on the subsequent game, so that the troublesomeness due to the notification can be reduced.

(Pattern 2)
As a result of the game, when the total score by winning is obtained, if the addition of the score by the winning exceeds the above-mentioned maximum upper limit value D, the addition of more points cannot be performed. In other words, when the following equation (5) is established, it is not possible to add points that exceed the maximum upper limit value D among the points obtained by winning.
B + E> D ... Equation (5)

Here, in the situation where the current total score B before winning is satisfied by the following formula (6), the total score does not exceed the maximum upper limit value D, and in the situation where the following formula (7) is satisfied, the total score is total. It can be said that the score exceeds the maximum upper limit value D.
B ≤ DE ... Equation (6)
B> DE ... Equation (7)

Specifically, assuming that the maximum value E of the points scored by winning is 15 and the maximum upper limit value D is 16383 described above, "16383 of the maximum upper limit value D 16383-maximum value of points scored by winning 15 = 16368", and in this case, If the current total score B before winning is less than or equal to this "16368" (when equation (6) is satisfied), the total score does not exceed the maximum upper limit D, and the current total score before winning is not exceeded. If B exceeds this "16368" (in other words, "16369" or more) and satisfies (Equation (7)), the total score exceeds the maximum upper limit value D.

Therefore, in the case of this pattern 2, the value before the current total score B before winning the prize satisfies the above equation (6) is set as the pre-upper limit value, and when the pre-upper limit value is reached, the operation to the counting switch is prompted. To give a notification for. Specifically, when the current total score B before winning is the above-mentioned "16369", the current total score B before winning is higher than the above-mentioned "16369" in order to satisfy the above equation (7). A smaller value, for example, "16368", which is one less than the above-mentioned "16369", is set as the pre-upper limit value, or "16354" which is 15 less than the above-mentioned "16369" in the sense of giving a margin. , 50 less than "16319" is set as the pre-upper limit value so that the notification for prompting the operation to the counting switch is performed, and the value less than the above-mentioned "16369". From among them, the pre-upper limit value may be set arbitrarily. In this way, by adopting this pattern 2 as the pre-upper limit value, it is possible to prevent problems such as not being returned or the game not being able to proceed due to the score obtained by winning. , A smooth game can be provided.

In Patterns 1 and 2 of the above-described embodiment, an example is shown in which the current total score B reaches the pre-upper limit value as the timing of notification, but the loan is made during the game (during reel rotation). In that case, if the current total score B reaches the pre-upper limit value, it may be notified after the game is completed. In this case, the progress of the game is not hindered. Further, the timing for determining whether or not the pre-upper limit has been reached may be always, may be after one game is completed, may be a loan request, may be returned, or the like. May be a combination of.

In the present embodiment, in the case of the above-mentioned pattern 1, the effect display device S40 is provided with the first display, for example, "Because it exceeds the maximum value of the total score that can be counted by lending, please count." By doing so, counting is urged, and in the case of pattern 2 described above, for example, a second display such as "Please count because it exceeds the maximum value of the total points that can be counted by winning" is displayed. Notifications that prompt counting are performed according to each pattern. In the present embodiment, once a notification for prompting counting is performed, even after the total score has fallen below the pre-upper limit as a result of counting by the notification, for example, a subsequent predetermined game For several hours, or until a predetermined operation (for example, performing a specific reset operation) for canceling the notification for prompting counting is performed, the notification for prompting counting should be continuously performed even during the game. You can do it. By doing so, it becomes easier for the hall clerk and the surrounding players to notice that the notification for prompting the counting is made, so that the security can be improved.

In addition, although the game sounds such as BGM and sound effects when the notification prompting the counting is performed are output as usual, the game sounds related to the notification prompting the counting (hereinafter referred to as "the main game sound"). It may be louder than the game sound, etc. (hereinafter, this is referred to as "another game sound") during the production during the game. Further, the main game sound may be generally set to the same volume as the error sound having a louder volume than the other game sounds, or may be set to a louder volume than the error sound. Further, for the main game sound, a sound (musical piece) dedicated to the main game sound may be prepared so that the output sound mode (tempo, tune, etc.) is different from other production sounds. The mode may be shared with the error sound or may be different from the error sound, and can be appropriately changed. The method of increasing the volume of the main notification sound can be realized by making the volume of the main notification sound louder than that of the other game sounds, or by setting the volume of the other game sounds to 0. In this way, by making the volume louder than the game sound in the normal production, it becomes easier for the hall clerk and the surrounding players to notice that the notification prompting the counting is made, so that the security can be improved. it can.

In addition to patterns 1 and 2, new lending is performed by operating the above-mentioned replay switch or lending button during the game (for example, new lending is performed multiple times during the game, etc.). ), It is possible that the total score exceeds the maximum upper limit D. In order to prevent such a situation, the same pre-upper limit value as in patterns 1 and 2 may be set, and when the pre-upper limit value is reached during the game, a notification prompting the counting may be performed. The value of the pre-upper limit value in this case is not limited to the values of patterns 1 and 2 described above, and in short, it is any one that is lower than the value α calculated from the maximum upper limit value D-the maximum value C of the transition score. The value (a value that is equal to or less than the maximum upper limit value D even if a new loan of the maximum value C is made during the game) may be set as the pre-upper limit value. In this case, the notification prompting the counting of the above-mentioned main notification sound and the like is performed even during the game. By doing so, it is possible to suppress the unnecessarily lending of new loans during the game, and it is possible to prevent the situation where the total score exceeds the maximum upper limit value D due to the new lending during the game. it can. Instead of this, it is configured so that no new lending can be made during the game (specifically, even if there is a new lending from the lending machine, the score will be added on the rotating game machine side. It is also conceivable to configure it so that it does not exist, or to configure the above-mentioned replay switch and lending button to be disabled during the game, etc.).

In the present embodiment, both patterns 1 and 2 are used as the pre-upper limit value of the notification for prompting the counting, but the notification for prompting the counting is performed only at the timing of either the pattern 1 or 2. Is also good. Here, in the case where only the notification for prompting the counting is performed at the above-mentioned predetermined timing, if the player rents out from the rental machine without noticing this, the transfer score from the rental machine is obtained. Of these, it is conceivable to lend only within the range that does not exceed the above-mentioned maximum upper limit value D, and invalidate the points that exceed the limit. Similarly, in the case where only the notification for prompting the counting is performed at the above-mentioned predetermined timing, even if the player proceeds with the game and a prize is generated without noticing this, the score obtained by the prize is obtained. Of these, it is conceivable that only the range that does not exceed the above-mentioned maximum upper limit value D will be added as a score, and the score that exceeds it will be invalidated.

Further, in the patterns 1 and 2 of the present embodiment, only the notification prompting the counting is performed at the above-mentioned predetermined timing, but instead of this, the lending from the rental machine is stopped or the game is played. It may be configured so that it cannot proceed, or it may be configured so that lending from the rental machine cannot be stopped or the game cannot proceed while giving a notification prompting counting. In the case where the game is configured so that the lending from the rental machine cannot be stopped or the game cannot proceed even though the notification prompting the counting is performed, the player counts according to the notification prompting the counting, and as a result, the above equation (2) or When the situation (6) is satisfied, the suspension of lending from the rental machine may be lifted or the game may be allowed to proceed, or the situation satisfying the above equations (2) and (6). Even so, the suspension of lending from the rental machine and the suspension of the progress of the game may be maintained until a predetermined reset operation or the like is performed. Further, in the present embodiment, in the case of the pre-upper limit value having a margin larger than the maximum upper limit value D, it is possible to return by operating the return button, but instead of this, even in the case of the pre-upper limit value, The specification may be such that the operation to the return button is invalidated together with the notification to that effect, and the return by the operation to the return button is stopped.

In addition, if the lending from the rental machine cannot be stopped or the game cannot be progressed together with the notification prompting the counting, after that, the suspension of the lending from the rental machine is canceled or the game can be progressed. Even so, as in the above-described embodiment, during the subsequent predetermined number of games, or until a predetermined operation (for example, performing a specific reset operation) for canceling the notification prompting the counting is performed, and the like. , The notification prompting the counting may be continuously performed. By doing so, the same action and effect as those of the above-described embodiment can be obtained.

Further, in the present embodiment, the game cannot proceed by disabling the start switch operation or the like, but instead of this, the start switch is effective and the reel rotates, but the stop operation is invalid. It may be left as it is, or at least one of the stop button that stops first and the stop button that stops next may be valid, but the stop button that makes the final stop may be disabled. The point is that in order to prevent winning, it is sufficient to disable the stop button that performs the final stop, so in the flow of the game, from the betting operation to the second stop operation. Any operation unit may be invalidated, and the time at which the operation is invalidated is not particularly limited. Here, as described in the above-described embodiment, it goes without saying that the operation to the counting switch remains effective even in a situation where the game cannot proceed, but instead of this, the game progresses. In situations where this is not possible, the operation on the counting switch may also be invalidated.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the total score has reached the maximum upper limit value D in a state where a specified number of bets have been placed, the above-mentioned return is not possible. , The value obtained by subtracting the specified number from the maximum upper limit value D (specifically, 9947 obtained by subtracting the specified number 3 in the case of 9950, 16380 obtained by subtracting the specified number 3 in the case of 16383, etc.) By setting it as an additional upper limit value that does not accept points due to winning, it is conceivable to make it possible to return by operating the return button at all times.

Further, in the figure, as a configuration in which the number of loan points is not added to the total score, the game machine side is configured to send information including the fact that the result of receiving the loan points is abnormal as a response to the result of the receipt of the loan. Not limited, the information to the effect that the number of lending points = 0 is transmitted as a lending notification sent from the lending machine side to the game machine side, in other words, when the lending machine side can judge and add the lending points. , Information that the number of lending points = 50 is sent as a lending notice sent from the lending machine side to the game machine side, and if the number of lending points is not added, the lending machine side lends as a lending notice sent to the game machine side. It may be configured to transmit the information that the score = 0.

<C: Configuration 1 in which the lending button does not become effective while the reel is rotating>
A game is played and the reels start spinning. The total score stored in the game machine is 30 points.

After that, the game machine information notification including the information of the total score = 30 and the information that the lending button cannot be operated (information that the operation of the lending button is not valid because the reel is rotating), which is the serial number n, is sent from the game machine side. A counting notification including information of counting points = 0 and cumulative counting points = 0, which becomes the counting serial number m after being transmitted to the side, is transmitted from the game machine side to the lending machine side, and within 170 ms thereafter, the lending serial number. A lending notice including information of the number of lending points = 0, which is p, is transmitted from the lending machine side to the gaming machine side.

After that, within 10 ms, the loan receipt result response including the information that the loan point receipt result is normal, which is the loan serial number p, is transmitted from the game machine side to the rental machine side, and the total score remains 30 (the total score remains 30). The display on the total score display device is still 30 points). The above n, m, and p may have different numerical values or may be the same numerical value.

After that, the rental button of the rental machine is turned off → on while the reel is rotating. After that, 20 ms or more has passed since the transmission of the previous loan receipt result response, and about 300 ms after the transmission timing of the previous game machine information notification, the game machine information notification is transmitted from the game machine side to the rental machine side again. .. The serial number in the game machine information notification is n + 1, and includes information of total score = 30 and information that the lending button cannot be operated (information that the lending button operation is not valid because the reel is rotating). Then, after about 100 ms, a counting notification including information of counting points = 0 and cumulative counting points = 0, which becomes the counting serial number m + 1, is transmitted from the game machine side to the rental machine side, and then within 170 ms, the rental serial number becomes p + 1. , A lending notice including information of the number of lending points = 0 is transmitted from the lending machine side to the gaming machine side. As described above, in the configuration of C, since the lending button inoperability information is transmitted from the gaming machine side to the lending machine side, 0 as the number of lending points is transmitted from the lending machine side to the gaming machine side.

After that, within 10 ms, the loan receipt result response including the information that the loan point receipt result is normal, which is the loan serial number p, is transmitted from the game machine side to the rental machine side, and the total score remains 30 (the total score remains 30). The display on the total score display device is still 30 points).

In this way, while the reel is rotating, a game machine information notification including information that the lending button cannot be operated (information that the operation of the lending button is not valid because the reel is rotating) is transmitted from the game machine side to the lending machine side. By doing so, it is possible to clarify the period between the progress of the game and the lending operation.

Further, in the figure, the loan points are added to the total score based on the transmission of the loan receipt result response, but the loan points are added to the total score based on the receipt of the loan notification. You may.

<D: Configuration where the bet button can be invalid during lending>
Next, FIG. 165 will be described in detail. The total score stored in the game machine is 30 points, the bet button is valid, and the game machine information notification including the information of the total score = 30 which is the serial number n is rented from the game machine side. A counting notification including information of counting points = 0 and cumulative counting points = 0, which becomes the counting serial number m after about 100 ms, is transmitted from the game machine side to the lending machine side, and within 170 ms thereafter, the lending serial number. A lending notice including information of the number of lending points = 0, which is p, is transmitted from the lending machine side to the gaming machine side. After that, within 10 ms, the lending receipt result response including the information that the lending point receipt result is normal, which is the lending serial number p, is transmitted from the gaming machine side to the lending machine side, and the total score remains at 30 points. (The display on the total score display device is still 30 points). The above n, m, and p may have different numerical values or may be the same numerical value.

After that, the rental button of the rental machine is turned off → on. After that, 20 ms or more has passed since the transmission of the previous loan receipt result response, and about 300 ms after the transmission timing of the previous game machine information notification, the game machine information notification is transmitted from the game machine side to the rental machine side again. .. The serial number in the game machine information notification is n + 1, and includes information of total score = 30. Then, after about 100 ms, a counting notification including information of counting points = 0 and cumulative counting points = 0, which becomes the counting serial number m + 1, is transmitted from the game machine side to the lending machine side, and within 170 ms thereafter, the lending serial number p + 1. , A lending notice including information of the number of lending points = 50 is transmitted from the lending machine side to the gaming machine side. After that, within 10 ms, the lending receipt result response including the information that the lending point receipt result is normal, which becomes the lending serial number p + 1, is sent from the gaming machine side to the lending machine side, and 50 points, which is the lending point, is added to the total score. The total score is 30 + 50 = 80 points (the display of the total score display device is also 80 points).

In this configuration, the bet button is invalid for a predetermined period (for example, 200 ms) immediately after the timing when the total score is added. It is the timing when 20 ms or more has passed since the transmission of the previous loan receipt result response, and about 300 ms after the transmission timing of the previous game machine information notification, the game machine information notification is transmitted from the game machine side to the rental machine side again, and then. The bet button becomes valid again when a predetermined period has passed since the total score was added.

As described above, in the configuration of D, the bet button is invalidated for a predetermined period when the addition to the total score is executed by the lending operation. During the invalid period of the bet button, the player may be configured to notify that the score is being lent out. For example, the display of the total score display device may be configured to blink. Alternatively, the display of the total score may be displayed so as to gradually increase from 30 to 80. Further, the sub-control board S side may be configured to output a sound corresponding to an increase in the total score. The predetermined period is not limited to 200 ms and may be changed as appropriate. It should be noted that the timing at which the addition to the total score by the lending operation is executed may be configured so that the predetermined period in which the bet button is invalid may overlap, or the addition to the total score by the lending operation is executed. The bet button may be disabled immediately after it is done).

Further, in the figure, the loan points are added to the total score when the loan receipt result response is transmitted, but the loan points may be added to the total score when the loan notification is received. .. Further, although the operation of the bet button for a predetermined period is invalidated from the timing when the loan receipt result response is transmitted, the operation of the bet button for a predetermined period may be invalidated from the timing when the loan notification is received.

Further, as described above, in the configuration of D, when the total score is added due to the game machine receiving the lending notification including the lending points of 1 or more, the bet button is invalidated for a predetermined period. On the other hand, if the gaming machine receives a lending notice containing information that the number of lending points is 0 and the total score is not added, the bet button is not invalidated (valid to invalidated by receiving the lending notice). ing. With this configuration, it is possible to prevent duplication of processing that affects the game, such as addition processing to the total score and betting processing.

In the figure, the configuration in which the bet button is invalid for a predetermined time when renting a score is described in detail, but the score is not limited to the bet button, and the start lever, the game medal, and the start of reel rotation are also scored. It may be configured to be invalid for a predetermined time at the time of lending.

It should be noted that the game machine information notification is being lent at the time of transmission, and if the lending is terminated before the lending notification command is received, points can be added based on the lending operation. ..

The above-mentioned bet button also includes the above-mentioned max bet button, and can be applied to the above-mentioned configuration related to lighting of the max bet lamp in FIGS. 80 to 83. That is, during the period when the above-mentioned bet button is invalid, it is possible to combine with the above-mentioned configuration in FIGS. 80 to 83, such as configuring the max bet lamp to be turned off.

<E: Structure 1 regarding response to loan receipt results>
Next, FIG. 166 will be described in detail. The total score stored in the game machine is 30 points, and the lending button is turned off → on. After that, the game machine information notification including the information of the total score = 30 which becomes the serial number n is transmitted from the game machine side to the rental machine side, and after about 100 ms, the counting serial number m becomes the counting point number = 0, the counting accumulated point =. A counting notification including information of 0 is transmitted from the gaming machine side to the lending machine side, and within 170 ms thereafter, a lending notification including information of the number of lending points = 50, which becomes the lending serial number 5, is transmitted from the lending machine side to the gaming machine side. Will be done. After that, within 10 ms, the lending receipt result response including the information that the lending point receipt result is normal, which becomes the lending serial number 5, is transmitted from the gaming machine side to the lending machine side, and 50 points, which is the lending point, is added to the total score. The total score is 30 + 50 = 80 points (the display of the total score display device is also 80 points). The above n and m may have different numerical values or may be the same numerical value.

After that, the rental button of the rental machine is turned off → on. After that, 20 ms or more has passed since the transmission of the previous loan receipt result response, and about 300 ms after the transmission timing of the previous game machine information notification, the game machine information notification is transmitted from the game machine side to the rental machine side again. .. The serial number in the game machine information notification is n + 1, and includes information of total score = 80. Then, after about 100 ms, a counting notification including information of counting points = 0 and cumulative counting points = 0, which becomes the counting serial number m + 1, is transmitted from the game machine side to the lending machine side, and then within 170 ms, the lending serial number 1 becomes. , A lending notice including information of the number of lending points = 50 is transmitted from the lending machine side to the gaming machine side. After that, within 10 ms, the lending receipt result response including the information that the lending point receipt result is abnormal, which becomes the lending serial number 1, is transmitted from the gaming machine side to the lending machine side, and the lending points are not added to the total score, and the total is total. The score remains at 80 points (the display on the total score display device also remains at 80 points). In this way, in the configuration of E, when the loan notification with the loan serial number 5 is received and then the next loan notification is received, the loan serial number should be originally the number 6, but noise etc. If you receive the loan notification of the loan serial number 1 due to the influence of (if you receive the loan notification of the loan serial number different from the original), the game indicates that it is abnormal as a response to the loan receipt result. It is configured so that it is sent from the machine side to the rental machine side and is not added to the total score.

<F: Structure 2 regarding response to loan receipt results>
The total score stored in the game machine is 30 points, and the lending button is turned off → on. After that, the game machine information notification including the information of the total score = 30 which becomes the serial number n is transmitted from the game machine side to the rental machine side, and after about 100 ms, the counting serial number m becomes the counting point number = 0, the counting accumulated point =. A counting notification including information of 0 is transmitted from the gaming machine side to the lending machine side, and within 170 ms thereafter, a lending notification containing information of the number of lending points = 50, which becomes the lending serial number 255, is transmitted from the lending machine side to the gaming machine side. Will be done. After that, within 10 ms, the loan receipt result response including the information that the loan point receipt result is normal, which becomes the loan serial number 255, is transmitted from the game machine side to the rental machine side, and 50 points, which is the loan points, is added to the total score. The total score is 30 + 50 = 80 points (the display of the total score display device is also 80 points). The above n and m may have different numerical values or may be the same numerical value.

After that, the rental button of the rental machine is turned off → on. After that, 20 ms or more has passed since the transmission of the previous loan receipt result response, and about 300 ms after the transmission timing of the previous game machine information notification, the game machine information notification is transmitted from the game machine side to the rental machine side again. .. The serial number in the game machine information notification is n + 1, and includes information of total score = 80. Then, after about 100 ms, a counting notification including information of counting points = 0 and cumulative counting points = 0, which becomes the counting serial number m + 1, is transmitted from the game machine side to the lending machine side, and then within 170 ms, the lending serial number 1 becomes. , A lending notice including information of the number of lending points = 50 is transmitted from the lending machine side to the gaming machine side. After that, within 10 ms, the lending receipt result response including the information that the lending point receipt result is normal, which becomes the lending serial number 1, is sent from the gaming machine side to the lending machine side, and 50 points, which is the lending point, is added to the total score. The total score is 80 + 50 = 130 points (the display of the total score display device is also 130 points). As described above, in the configuration of F, when the loan notification of the loan serial number 255 is received and then the next loan notification is received, the loan serial number is 1, and in this example, the upper limit of the loan serial number is. Since it is 255 and the number next to 255 is 1, the loan receipt result including information that the loan point receipt result is normal because the loan notification of No. 1 which is the correct loan serial number was received next time of 255. The response will be sent from the game machine side to the rental machine side. By circulating the rental serial number from 1 to 255 in this way, it is possible to maintain consistency between the game machine and the outside without squeezing the capacity of the storage area for storing the rental serial number.

<A: Flow 1 related to counting notification command>
Next, FIG. 167 details the flow related to the counting notification in this example. The total score stored in the game machine is 200 points, and the game machine information notification including the information of the total score = 200, which is the serial number n, is transmitted from the game machine side to the rental machine side, and then the count button. Turns off → on. After that, about 20 ms elapses while the count button is kept on, and the display of the total score display device is subtracted by 50 to change from 200 to 150 (display of the total score display device and total score based on the operation of the count button). The fact that the score is subtracted is sometimes referred to as being settled, the settlement process being executed, and the like). Then, about 100 ms after the game machine information notification is transmitted, a counting notification including information of counting points = 50 and cumulative counting points = 50, which is the counting serial number m, is transmitted from the game machine side to the lending machine side and counted. The total score is 150 points by subtracting 50 points, which is the score, from the total score. The subtraction timing of the display of the total score display device and the subtraction timing of the stored total score may be simultaneous. The timing may be about 20 ms after the counting button is turned off → on, in other words, the timing when a long press of the counting button is detected, or the timing of transmitting the counting notification.

Within 170 ms after that, a loan notification including information on the number of loan points = 0, which is the loan serial number p, is transmitted from the rental machine side to the game machine side. After that, within 10 ms, the loan receipt result response including the information that the loan point receipt result is normal, which becomes the loan serial number p, is transmitted from the game machine side to the rental machine side, and the total score remains at 150 points. (The display on the total score display device is still 150 points). The above n, m, and p may have different numerical values or may be the same numerical value.

After that, the count button remains on, which is the timing when 20 ms or more has passed since the transmission of the previous loan receipt result response, and about 300 ms after the transmission timing of the previous game machine information notification, the game machine information notification is sent again. It is transmitted from the game machine side to the rental machine side. The serial number in the game machine information notification is n + 1, and includes information of total score = 150. Then, about 300 ms after the subtraction timing of the display of the total score display device last time, the display of the total score display device is subtracted by 50, and the result is 150 → 100. Then, about 100 ms after the game machine information notification is transmitted, a counting notification including information of counting points = 50 and cumulative counting points = 100, which is the counting serial number m + 1, is transmitted from the game machine side to the lending machine side and counted. The total score is 100 points by subtracting 50 points, which is the score, from the total score.

Within 170 ms after that, a lending notice including information on the number of lending points = 0, which is the lending serial number p + 1, is transmitted from the lending machine side to the gaming machine side. After that, within 10 ms, the lending receipt result response including the information that the lending point receipt result is normal, which becomes the lending serial number p + 1, is transmitted from the gaming machine side to the lending machine side, and the total score remains at 150 points. (The display on the total score display device is still 150 points).

After that, the count button is turned on and off, which is the timing when 20 ms or more has passed since the transmission of the previous loan receipt result response, and about 300 ms after the transmission timing of the previous game machine information notification, the game machine information notification is sent to the game machine side again. Is sent to the rental machine side. The serial number in the game machine information notification is n + 2, and includes information of total score = 100. After that, about 300 ms after the subtraction timing of the display of the total score display device last time, the count button was turned off, so that the display of the total score display device is not subtracted. After that, about 100 ms after the game machine information notification is transmitted, the counting notification including the information of the counting score = 0 and the cumulative counting score = 100, which is the counting serial number m + 2, is transmitted from the gaming machine side to the rental machine side, and the total The score remains at 100 points.

Within 170 ms after that, a lending notice including information on the number of lending points = 0, which is the lending serial number p + 2, is transmitted from the lending machine side to the gaming machine side. After that, within 10 ms, the loan receipt result response including the information that the loan number receipt result is normal, which becomes the loan serial number p + 2, is transmitted from the game machine side to the rental machine side, and the total score remains 100 points. (The display on the total score display device is still 100 points). After that, 20 ms or more has passed since the transmission of the previous loan receipt result response, and about 300 ms after the transmission timing of the previous game machine information notification, the game machine information notification is transmitted from the game machine side to the rental machine side again. .. The serial number in the game machine information notification is n + 3, and includes information of total score = 100.

<B: Flow 2 related to counting notification command>
The total score stored in the game machine is 200 points, and the game machine information notification including the information of the total score = 200, which is the serial number n, is transmitted from the game machine side to the rental machine side, and then the count button. Turns off → on. After that, about 20 ms elapses while the count button is kept on, and the display of the total score display device is subtracted by 50, resulting in 200 → 150. After that, the counting button is turned on and off, and about 100 ms after the gaming machine information notification is transmitted, the counting notification including the information of the counting score = 50 and the cumulative counting score = 50, which becomes the counting serial number m, is sent from the gaming machine side. It is sent to the lender side, and 50 points, which is the counting point, is subtracted from the total score, and the total score becomes 150 points. As described above, in the configuration of B, the counting button is turned off → on after the game machine information notification is transmitted, and then the long press of the counting button is detected (20 ms has passed since it was turned off → on), and then the counting button is counted. Even if the counting button is turned on → off before sending the notification, the counting notification including the information of counting points = 50 and cumulative counting points = 50 is sent from the gaming machine side to the lending machine side as the counting notification. It is configured so that the total score is 150 points by subtracting 50 points, which is the number of counting points, from the total score.

The subtraction timing of the display of the total score display device and the subtraction timing of the stored total score may be performed at the same time. The timing is about 20 ms after the counting button is turned off → on, in other words, counting. It may be the timing when the long press of the button is detected, or it may be the timing when the count notification is transmitted. When configured in this way, it will be configured as follows.
(1) Even if the counting button is turned off → on after sending the game machine information notification and then the counting button is turned on → off before sending the counting notification, at the timing when the long press of the counting button is detected. , The display of the total score and the total score display device can be updated.
(2) Even if the counting button is turned off → on after sending the game machine information notification and then the counting button is turned on → off before sending the counting notification, the total score is scored at the timing of sending the counting notification. And the display of the total score display device can be updated.

Further, the total score display device may be configured so that both the storage of the total score and the display of the total score can be executed. Even in such a configuration, about after the count button is turned off → on. After 20 ms, in other words, the total score may be updated and the total score display may be updated at the timing when the long press of the count button is detected, or the total score may be updated and the total score may be updated at the timing of transmitting the count notification. It may be configured to perform a display update of the total score.

Within 170 ms after that, a loan notification including information on the number of loan points = 0, which is the loan serial number p, is transmitted from the rental machine side to the game machine side. After that, within 10 ms, the loan receipt result response including the information that the loan point receipt result is normal, which becomes the loan serial number p, is transmitted from the game machine side to the rental machine side, and the total score remains at 150 points. (The display on the total score display device is still 150 points). The above n, m, and p may have different numerical values or may be the same numerical value.

After that, 20 ms or more has passed since the transmission of the previous loan receipt result response, and about 300 ms after the transmission timing of the previous game machine information notification, the game machine information notification is transmitted from the game machine side to the rental machine side again. .. The serial number in the game machine information notification is n + 1, and includes information of total score = 150.

With this configuration, even if the counting button is turned off → on after sending the game machine information notification and then the counting button is turned on → off before sending the counting notification, the total score and the total score The display on the display device can be updated, and the counting points and the cumulative counting points can be transmitted to the outside of the game machine by the counting notification, and at the timing when the player visually recognizes that the settlement has been executed. Even when the operation of the counting button is completed (hands are released), the information can be accurately transmitted to the outside of the game machine.

Further, the configuration related to the counting button according to this example may be configured as follows.
<Structure 1>
(1) If the counting button is continuously operated for a predetermined time while the counting button is enabled, the total score is subtracted and a counting notification including the predetermined number of counting points is transmitted. (2) The game machine plays games at predetermined time intervals. Send the machine information notification to the rental machine (3) When the game machine information notification is sent, the counting notification is sent after a predetermined time has passed (4) The counting notification is sent after the game machine information notification is sent and before the rental notification is received. When the button is turned on → off, the total score will be subtracted at the next count notification transmission timing.

<Structure 2>
(1) If the counting button is continuously operated for a predetermined time while the counting button is enabled, the total score is subtracted and a counting notification including the predetermined number of counting points is transmitted. (2) The game machine plays games at predetermined time intervals. Send the machine information notification to the rental machine (3) When the game machine information notification is sent, the counting notification is sent after a predetermined time has passed (4) The counting notification is sent after the game machine information notification is sent and before the rental notification is received. When the button is turned on → off, the total score will not be subtracted at the next count notification transmission timing.

<Structure 3>
(1) If the counting button is continuously operated for a predetermined time while the counting button is enabled, the total score is subtracted and a counting notification including the predetermined number of counting points is transmitted. (2) The game machine plays games at predetermined time intervals. Sending the machine information notification to the rental machine (3) When the game machine information notification is sent, the counting notification is sent after a predetermined time has passed (4) After sending the game machine information notification, the counting button turns off → on. However, the total score is not subtracted at the next count notification transmission timing.

<Structure 4>
(1) If the counting button is operated continuously for a predetermined time while the counting button is enabled, the total score is subtracted and a counting notification command including the number of counting points is sent. Even if the power is restored while pressing the count button after that, the total score is not subtracted.

<Structure 5>
(1) If the counting button is operated continuously for a predetermined time while the counting button is enabled, the total score is subtracted and a counting notification command including the number of counting points is transmitted. (2) During weighting (minimum time timer value between games> Even if the count button is pressed in 0), the reel starts rotating, and if the count button is held down, the stop button cannot be operated. And the total score is not subtracted

<Structure 6>
During the execution of the freeze at the start of rotation and the freeze at the stop described above, the settlement process based on the operation of the count button may be enabled to be executed, or the settlement process based on the operation of the count button may not be executed. May be good. It should be noted that during the execution of the rotation start freeze and stop freeze described above, the total score may be added based on the operation of the lending button, or the total score may be added based on the operation of the lending button. It may be configured not to be executed.

<Structure 7-1>
It may be configured so that the score can be settled when the count button is operated while the front door DU is open (a state where a door open error has occurred). By doing so, the player or the manager can settle the score at any time regardless of whether or not the front door DU is opened.
<Structure 7-2>
If the count button is operated while the front door DU is open (a door open error has occurred), the score may not be settled, and the score may be settled accordingly. As a result, even if the front door DU is opened and fraud is committed inside the game machine, it is possible to prevent a situation that is disadvantageous to the game field by configuring the score so as not to be settled.

<Structure 8-1>
If the front door DU opens (a door open error occurs) while the count button remains on (hold down the count button), the score will continue to be settled. It may be configured so that it can be executed, and by such a configuration, the player or the manager can execute the settlement of the score at an arbitrary timing regardless of whether or not the front door DU is opened.

<Structure 8-2>
If the front door DU is opened (door open error occurs) while the count button is still on (the count button is being pressed and held), the score will not be settled. By configuring it in this way, even if the front door DU is opened and fraud is committed inside the game machine, the score is not settled for the game hall. It is possible to prevent a disadvantageous situation.

<Structure 9-1>
In the situation where the count button remains on (the count button is pressed and held), the power is turned off, then the power is turned on again, and the count button remains on (count). When the button is pressed and held for a long time), the cumulative counting score in the first counting notification after the power is turned on becomes 0, and the counting serial number also becomes 0. With this configuration, it is possible to grasp the cumulative counting points and the like as information related to the settlement after the power is turned on.
<Structure 9-2>
In the situation where the counting button remains on (holding down the counting button), the power is cut off, then the counting button is turned off (the counting button is not operated), and the power is turned on again. When the power is turned on, the cumulative number of counting points in the first counting notification after the power is turned on is 0, and the serial number is also 0. With this configuration, it is possible to grasp the cumulative counting points and the like as information related to the settlement after the power is turned on.

<Structure 10>
In a situation where the power is off, even if the operation (pressing) of the counting button is started and the power is turned on while the counting button is pressed (holding down the operation), the settlement may not be executed. .. That is, when executing the settlement based on the operation of the counting button, the settlement is executed by detecting the rise of the counting button from off to on and then keeping it on for a predetermined time or longer (detecting a long press). It may be configured as follows.

<< Configuration related to door opening error >>
Further, the configuration related to the door opening error according to this example may be configured as follows.

<Structure 1>
Even when the front door DU is open (a state in which a door opening error has occurred), the signal transmitted from the game machine to the outside (rental machine) and the signal transmitted from the outside (rental machine) are received by the game machine. It may be configured so that the information to be transmitted and received can be transmitted and received. More specifically, before sending or receiving the game machine information notification (HC / fraud monitoring information, game machine performance information, or information including game machine installation information), counting notification, loan notification, and loan receipt result response. It may be configured to be feasible even when the door DU is open (a state in which a door opening error has occurred).

<Structure 2>
In the case of an unrecoverable error (for example, an error that occurs when the checksum after the power is turned on is abnormal), the signal transmitted from the game machine to the outside (rental machine) and the external (rental machine) The information transmitted and received by the game machine may not be transmitted or received. More specifically, before sending or receiving the game machine information notification (HC / fraud monitoring information, game machine performance information, or information including game machine installation information), counting notification, loan notification, and loan receipt result response. It may be configured not to be executed when the door DU is open (a state in which a door opening error has occurred).

In this example, as described above, the interval for transmitting HC / fraud monitoring information from the game machine to the outside (rental machine) is set to 300 ms. In other words, the interval for transmitting the game machine information notification from the game machine to the outside (rental machine) is set to 300 ms. Further, as described above in FIG. 35, when the reel is rotated, the reel acceleration process is executed and then the reel constant speed maintenance process is executed. In other words, the reel is set from the reel acceleration state. It is configured to transition to a fast state. Here, as described above, one rotation of the reel (one lap) has 336 steps, and the execution interval of interrupt processing is about 2.23 ms. In the reel constant speed state, one step is rotated by one interrupt process, so that the time required to rotate the reel for one revolution in the reel constant speed state is 2.23 × 336 ≈ 749 ms. As described above, in this example, the game machine information notification can be transmitted from the game machine to the outside (rental machine) at least twice or more in the time required to rotate the reel for one revolution in the reel constant speed state. With this configuration, even if the game machine information notification sent from the game machine has abnormal contents due to noise or the like, the reel will rotate one revolution at a constant speed. Since the game machine information notification can be transmitted from the game machine at least once within the time required for the reeling, the information to be transmitted to the outside of the game machine can be made more accurate. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 35, since the average reel rotation speed in the reel acceleration state is slower than the average reel rotation speed in the reel constant speed state, the reel acceleration state → reel from the start of reel rotation. Since the time required to rotate one revolution of the reel in the constant speed state is longer than 749 ms, which is the time required to rotate one revolution of the reel in the constant speed state of the reel, the reel From the start of rotation, the reel acceleration state → the reel constant speed state, and even within the time required to rotate one lap of the reel, the game machine information notification sent from the game machine becomes abnormal due to noise etc. Even if it does, the game machine can send the game machine information notification at least once within the time required to rotate the reel for one round in the constant speed state of the reel, so it is transmitted to the outside of the game machine. The information can be more accurate.

<< Lending communication abnormality >>
Here, as described in the configuration of E in FIG. 166, when the revolving gaming machine receives the loan notification of the loan serial number 5 and then receives the next loan notification, the loan serial number is originally 6. In the communication between the revolving game machine and the rental machine, the rental communication related to the rental notification occurs, such as the occurrence of a rental serial number abnormality that receives the rental notification of the rental serial number 1 even though it should be the number. Abnormalities may occur. As this type of lending communication abnormality, in addition to the above-mentioned lending serial number abnormality, lending communication abnormalities 1 to 6 are set in the present embodiment, and these will be described in order.

<Abnormal rental serial number>
As described above, in the lending notification notified from the lending machine to the payout control board of the revolving gaming machine, if the lending serial number of the current lending notification is n, the lending serial number of the next lending notification will be n + 1. Is set to. Further, when the lending notification is notified from the lending machine to the payout control board together with the lending serial number, the main control board receiving this notification via the payout control board receives the lending serial number notified to the RAM or the like of the CPU. Is to be remembered. In this state, when the next lending notice is given, the main control board collates the lending serial number of this lending notice with the memorized lending serial number, and the lending serial number of this lending notice is stored. If the value is "+1" with respect to the loan serial number, it is judged to be normal and the loan serial number of the current loan notification is newly stored (updated). As described above, in the present embodiment, the main control board is responsible for updating and storing the serial number.

In this way, the main control board stores the loan serial number n of the loan notification received last time, and if the loan serial number of the loan notification received this time is n + 1, it is determined to be normal, while the loan notification received this time is determined. If the lending serial number of is not n + 1, it is determined that the lending serial number is abnormal. In the present embodiment, when the lending serial number abnormality is determined, the main control board turns on the serial number abnormality flag indicating that the lending serial number abnormality has occurred, and the payout control board and the sub control board S have a serial number abnormality. A serial number abnormality command to that effect is transmitted, and the payout control board and the sub-control board S that have received this serial number abnormality command perform a process of turning on their respective serial number abnormality flags. When the serial number abnormality flag is turned on on the payout control board, as described above, the number of loan points related to this loan notification is not added to the total score (the loan is stopped). Further, in the sub-control board S, when the serial number abnormality flag is turned on, the lending serial number abnormality indicating that the lending serial numbers are inconsistent due to the effect display device S40, the speaker S20, etc. controlled by the sub-control board S. Is notified by at least one of visual, auditory, and tactile (for example, sub-input button SB or a part of the rotating drum type game machine is vibrated) (hereinafter, this is simply "rental serial number abnormality notification". ".) It is designed to perform processing. The rental serial number abnormality notification by the sub-control board S receives the normal rental serial number n + 1, or the rental serial number 0 (see FIG. 163) related to the first rental notification after the power is turned on. It will continue until it is done.

The above-mentioned processing may be performed on the payout control board instead of the main control board. In this case, the processing is as follows.

In the lending notice notified from the lending machine to the payout control board of the rotating game machine, if the lending serial number of the current lending notice is n, the lending serial number of the next lending notice is set to be n + 1. There is. Further, when the lending machine notifies the payout control board of the lending serial number together with the lending serial number, the payout control board stores the lending serial number notified to the RAM or the like of the CPU. .. In this state, when the next lending notice is given, the payout control board collates the lending serial number of this lending notice with the memorized lending serial number, and the lending serial number of this lending notice is stored. If the value is "+1" with respect to the loan serial number, it is determined that it is normal, and the loan serial number of this loan notification is newly stored (updated). In this way, the payout control board stores the loan serial number n of the loan notification received last time, and if the loan serial number of the loan notification received this time is n + 1, it is determined to be normal, while the loan notification received this time is determined. If the lending serial number of is not n + 1, it is determined that the lending serial number is abnormal.

In the present embodiment, when the lending serial number abnormality is determined, the payout control board turns on the serial number abnormality flag indicating that the lending serial number abnormality has occurred, and the main control board and the sub control board S have a serial number abnormality. A serial number abnormality command to that effect is transmitted, and the main control board and the sub control board S that have received this serial number abnormality command perform a process of turning on their respective serial number abnormality flags. When the serial number abnormality flag is turned on on the payout control board, as described above, the number of loan points related to this loan notification is not added to the total score (the loan is stopped). Further, in the sub-control board S, when the serial number abnormality flag is turned on, the rental serial number abnormality notification is performed by the effect display device S40, the speaker S20, etc. controlled by the sub-control board S. The rental serial number abnormality notification by the sub-control board S receives the normal rental serial number n + 1, or the rental serial number 0 (see FIG. 163) related to the first rental notification after the power is turned on. It will continue until it is done. The configuration when the function of the main control board described above is used as the payout control board can be replaced in the following embodiments.

Then, the main control board that receives these normal lending serial numbers n + 1 or lending serial number 0 via the payout control board turns off the serial number abnormality flag, and the payout control board and the sub control board S are released from the abnormal state. The payout control board and the sub-control board S that have sent the serial number abnormality release command to the effect that the serial number abnormality release command has been received turn off their respective serial number abnormality flags, so that the payout control board has a normal lending serial number. The number of loan points related to the above can be added to the total score, and the sub-control board S performs a process of terminating the loan serial number abnormality notification that has been executed up to that point. Further, in the present embodiment, while the rental serial number abnormality notification is being performed (while the rental serial number abnormality state continues), the game is not stopped by the rotating cylinder type gaming machine, and the rotating cylinder type gaming machine is not stopped. The game is performed as usual.

In this way, under the situation where the rental serial number abnormality occurs, there is no abnormality in the operation of the rotating cylinder type game machine itself, so that the communication abnormality between the rotating cylinder type game machine and the rental machine such as the rental serial number abnormality causes one by one By not stopping the operation of the rotating body type game machine, it is possible to provide the player with a smooth game. It should be noted that communication abnormalities due to this kind of noise or the like may be normalized by the next and subsequent communications, so even if a rental serial number abnormality occurs, the operation of the rental machine may not be stopped. In this case, it is possible to provide the player with a smooth game by returning to the original state when the normal rental serial number is received. The same can be said for lending communication abnormalities 1 to 6.

In the present embodiment, when the loan notification is received, if the loan serial number is not the value +1 received last time, it is determined that the loan serial number is abnormal. For example, 100 is initially set as the loan serial number, and the next loan serial number is 99. It may be set to be a subtraction type serial number instead of the addition type serial number in the above-described embodiment. In this case, if the loan serial number is not the value -1 received last time, the loan serial number is abnormal. It may be determined that. In short, as the lending serial number, values arranged in order according to a predetermined rule may be used, and if the order is not in accordance with the predetermined rule, it may be determined that the lending serial number is abnormal. The same applies to other configurations and examples in which this type of serial number is adopted.

Further, although the RAM clear switch described above is configured to clear only the total score, it may be configured to clear the abnormality flag as well. In the present embodiment, the payout control board and the sub control board S can add the total score by turning off their respective serial number abnormality flags so as to synchronize with the off of the lending notification abnormality flag on the main control board, or the lending serial number abnormality. The notification was stopped, but the present invention is not limited to this, and even if the serial number abnormality release command is transmitted from the main control board, for example, the above-mentioned RAM clear switch operation is performed on the payout control board. Until, the serial number abnormality flag is kept on to prevent the number of loan points of the loan notification from being added to the total score, and on the sub-control board S, a predetermined time or between multiple games after receiving the serial number abnormality release command. The serial number abnormality flag is continuously kept on for a long time to notify the rental serial number abnormality, or the sub-control board S is issued with a command indicating that the erasure has been performed by operating the RAM clear switch. It is also possible to keep the serial number abnormality flag on until it is received from the board so that the rental serial number abnormality notification is continuously performed. The point is that the main control board, the payout control board, and the sub control board S may be synchronized with the on / off of the rental serial number abnormality flag of the main control board, or they may be synchronized with each other without synchronization. Then, the necessary processing may be performed for each. The same can be said for lending communication abnormalities 1 to 6.

Further, in the present embodiment, the serial number abnormality command, which is a specific type of the abnormality state, is transmitted to the sub-control board S, but instead, the abnormality information indicating that there is some abnormality is simply transmitted. In the sub-control board S that has received this, the sub-control board S may be notified that there is some abnormality. In this way, by not telling the outside the type of small internal abnormality, it is possible to prevent the person who commits fraud from being informed of more internal information than necessary. It can be improved. The same can be said for lending communication abnormalities 1 to 6.

Further, in the present embodiment, the rental serial number abnormality notification is notified by the effect display device S40 or the like controlled by the sub control board S, but is not limited to this, and the devices controlled by the main control board (for example, At least visual, auditory, and tactile by the above-mentioned display (7-segment, etc.) that displays the number of the stopped and displayed symbol, the payout number display device D270, etc., and the devices controlled by the payout control board. You may notify by one. In this case, the start or end of the abnormality notification under the control of the main control board and the start or end of the abnormality notification under the control of the payout control board or the sub control board S may or may not be synchronized, respectively, and are asynchronous. In the case, at least one of the main control board, the payout control board, and the sub control board S may be asynchronous. Examples of such synchronous / asynchronous include, for example, the following patterns 1 to 3, but of course, the present invention is not limited to these patterns 1 to 3.

(Pattern 1)
When the serial number abnormality flag is on on the main control board, if the spinning-type gaming machine is in a non-gaming state (all reels are stopped and no bets are placed), the main control board is paid out. Notification by each control of the control board and the sub control board S is performed at the same time (the notification of the main control board and the sub control board S is synchronized). In this way, in a non-gaming state and in a situation where it is not necessary to watch the effect by the effect display device S40 so much, the notification by each of the main control board, the payout control board, and the sub control board can be executed at the same time. , It is possible to reliably notify that there is an abnormality.

(Pattern 2)
When the serial number abnormality flag is on on the main control board, if the rotating cylinder type gaming machine is in a gaming state (a state in which a bet is made, or a state in which at least one of the reels is rotating, etc.), the effect display device In the situation where there is a high possibility that some kind of effect is being performed according to the winning combination in S40, while the abnormality notification is performed by controlling the main control board and the payout control board, the sub control board S Controlled effect The display device S40 performs an effect according to the winning combination without performing any abnormality notification (notification by the main control board and the payout control board is synchronized, but notification by the sub control board S is asynchronous). .. Then, at a predetermined timing after the game state is changed to the non-game state (for example, the game may be executed immediately when the game state is changed, or any time between the time when the game state is changed and the time when the bet is placed. In (may be the same timing), the notification by each control of the main control board, the payout control board, and the sub control board S is performed at the same time as in the above-mentioned pattern 1. In this way, during the game, the effect display device S40 that notifies the player of information about the game does not perform any abnormality notification, and the effect display device S40 only performs the effect according to the winning combination. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the effect display device S40 from interfering with the effect while performing the abnormality notification, and it is possible to prevent the effect of the game from being hindered by the abnormality notification.

(Pattern 3)
If the rotating cylinder type gaming machine is in the gaming state when the serial number abnormality flag is on on the main control board, notification by the respective controls of the main control board, the payout control board, and the sub control board S is started at the same time. (The notifications of the main control board, the payout control board, and the sub control board S are synchronized), but in the effect display device S40, the effect according to the winning combination is also executed at the same time. In this case, in the effect display device S40, while performing the effect on the display unit, it is also displayed that an abnormality has occurred in one corner or the like of the display unit so as not to interfere with this effect. As such, it is preferable to make the abnormality notification less noticeable than the effect. By doing so, it is possible to simultaneously notify that there is an abnormality while performing the effect by the effect display device S40.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, for example, in the case of a door opening error, an error state such as a door opening error is released by inserting the door key into the keyhole D260 and twisting it in a predetermined direction (for example, counterclockwise). However (collectively, these are referred to as "error cancellation operation"), the above-mentioned loan notification abnormality may be configured so that the loan notification abnormality state can be canceled by such an error cancellation operation. , It may be configured so that the loan notification abnormal state cannot be canceled by such an error canceling operation, and whether or not the lending abnormality notification state is canceled by the error canceling operation depends on the specifications of the rotating drum type game machine, etc. It can be set as appropriate according to the situation. Similarly, the loan notification abnormality may be treated as a recoverable error or a non-recoverable error, and this can also be appropriately set according to the specifications of the rotating cylinder type game machine and the like. The same can be said for lending communication abnormalities 1 to 6 regarding the presence / absence of error cancellation by these error cancellation operations and the handling of recoverable / impossible errors.

<Lending communication abnormality 1>
As shown in FIG. 163, when the power is turned on to the rotating cylinder type gaming machine, the rotating cylinder type gaming machine side notifies the rental machine of the first gaming machine information (specific output information) and the first counting notification (predetermined output information). ) Is transmitted, the rental machine notifies the rotating game machine side of the first rental notification (predetermined reception information), and the rental serial number at this time is 0, which is a normal state. However, due to noise or the like, the lending serial number may be a non-zero lending serial number such as 1, in the first lending notification. In this case, the main control board of the rotating cylinder type game machine that receives this serial number from the payout control board determines that the rental communication abnormality 1 is obtained. That is, if the main control board does not receive the rental serial number 0 even once after the power is turned on to the rotating cylinder type game machine, it is determined that the rental communication abnormality 1 is obtained.

When the lending communication abnormality 1 is determined, the main control board turns on the abnormality 1 flag indicating that the lending communication abnormality 1 has occurred, and the main control board, as in the case of the above-mentioned determination of the lending serial number abnormality. Sends an error 1 command indicating that the above-mentioned loan communication error 1 has occurred to the payout control board and the sub-control board S, and the payout control board and the sub-control board S that receive the command turn on the respective error 1 flags. Then, as described above, the addition to the total score is prohibited, or the effect display device S40, the speaker S20, or the like notifies that the rental communication abnormality 1 is present (hereinafter, this is simply referred to as "rental communication abnormality". It is called "1 notification".) Prohibition of addition to these total points and notification of loan communication abnormality 1 are continuously performed until the payout control board receives the loan serial number 0, and the main control board that receives the loan serial number 0 via the payout control board. By transmitting the error 1 release command indicating that the loan communication error 1 has been released to the payout control board and the sub-control board S, the respective error 1 flags are turned off on the payout control board and the sub-control board S. , Prohibition of addition to the total score and termination of lending communication abnormality 1 notification that had been executed until then.

In the case of this lending communication abnormality 1, as in the case of the lending serial number abnormality, the game is not stopped by the revolving game machine while the lending communication abnormality 1 is notified, and the revolving game machine is not stopped. The game is performed as usual, and has the same effect as when the rental serial number is abnormal. Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the lending serial number 0 is the lending serial number that is regarded at the first time after the power is turned on, and is also a notification that the existing lending serial number is reset. By monitoring whether or not there is such a rental serial number 0 after the power is turned on, it is possible to detect a communication abnormality at an early stage after the power is turned on.

<Lending communication abnormality 2>
Next, the lending communication abnormality 2 will be described with reference to FIG. 168. In FIG. 168, it is premised that the game machine information is notified from the spinning machine to the rental machine every predetermined time X (for example, 300 ms), and the spinning machine is within the predetermined time X. After a fixed time A (for example, 100 ms) from the notification of the game machine information from the machine to the rental machine, a counting notification is made from the spinning type game machine to the rental machine, and within the time B (for example, 170ms) from this counting notification, the machine is rented. A loan notification is given from the machine to the rotating game machine, and at the same time, a loan receipt result response from the rotating game machine to the rental machine is made (approximately 0 to 1 ms), and from the loan notification (lending receipt result response). After the minimum time C (for example, 30 ms) or more has elapsed, in other words, after a predetermined time X from the previous game machine information notification, the game machine information notification this time is rented from the rotating game machine. There is.

Regarding the loan receipt result response, although the time required for communication actually occurs, it is treated as 0 ms because it is performed almost at the same time as the loan notification, and is omitted in FIGS. 168 to 170. It shall be expressed as 0 ms. In addition, in Fig. 168, in order to clarify the time series and distinction between them and to help understanding the contents, the makurakotoba such as "previous", "this time", and "next time" are added. What is clear without it shall be explained without this kind of makurakotoba. Needless to say, "previous" may be read as "nth", "this time" as "n + 1th", and "next" as "n + 2nd". The same applies to FIGS. 169 and 170.

Here, in the present embodiment, as is clear from FIG. 168, the period from the previous loan notification (lending receipt result response) to the current loan notification is at least the minimum until the current game machine information notification. It takes time C and a fixed time A from the current game machine information notification to the current counting notification. Therefore, from the previous loan notification, the first time D (for example, 30 ms of the minimum time C + 100 ms of the fixed time A) which is the total time of the minimum time C (for example, 30 ms) and the fixed time A (for example, 100 ms) = The specification is such that the loan notification cannot be received until the minimum elapse of 130 ms). Therefore, it can be said that it is in a normal state when the current loan notification is given after the first hour D has elapsed from the previous loan notification. On the other hand, if the lending notice is given this time even though the first hour D has not passed since the previous lending notice, it is in an abnormal state. In this case, the main control board has a lending communication abnormality 2 It is supposed to be judged.

Specifically, the main control board has a lending notification timer area (not shown) which is an addition type timer area (not shown) in which the value increases by 1 from 0 → 1 → 2 starting from the lending notification. There is. The lending notification timer area becomes 11, for example, when 10 is stored in the lending notification timer area and 1 is added by the timer update processing when the timer interrupt processing is activated. Then, when the current lending notification is given to the main control board via the payout control board, the main control board refers to the value measured in the lending notification timer area, and this value is the previous lending notification. If the first time D (first threshold value) has not passed since then, it is determined that the loan communication abnormality 2 is set, and the first time D (first threshold value) is set from the time when the previous loan notification was given. If it has passed, it is not judged as abnormal because it is a normal operation. In determining the lending communication abnormality 2, if the main control board has never received the lending serial number 0, the lending communication abnormality 1 has priority, and in this case, the lending communication abnormality 1 is determined. It has become like. The same applies to lending communication abnormalities 3 to 6. In addition, the timer value is set to 0 after the abnormality determination regardless of whether the first time D (first threshold value) has passed or not since the previous loan notification was given. Set and start timing again.

The timer update process described above may be performed on the payout control board instead of the main control board. In this case, the process is as follows.

If the first time D has not passed since the previous loan notification, but the current loan notification is made, it is in an abnormal state. In this case, the payout control board determines that the loan communication is abnormal 2. It has become. Specifically, the payout control board has a lending notification timer area (not shown) which is an addition type timer area (not shown) in which the value increases by 1 from 0 → 1 → 2 starting from the lending notification. When the previous loan notification is given, 0 is set in this loan notification timer area, the timing is started, and it is determined whether or not the upper limit value, the second time G, which will be described later, has been reached. It has become. The lending notification timer area becomes 11, for example, when 10 is stored in the lending notification timer area and 1 is added. Then, in the payout control board, the value measured in the lending notification timer area is referred to, and when this value does not elapse the first time D (first threshold value) from the time when the previous lending notification was made. Is determined to be a lending communication abnormality 2.

In determining the lending communication abnormality 2, if the payout control board has never received the lending serial number 0, the lending communication abnormality 1 has priority, and in this case, the lending communication abnormality 1 is determined. It has become like. The same applies to lending communication abnormalities 3 to 6. In addition, the timer value is set to 0 after the abnormality determination regardless of whether the first time D (first threshold value) has passed or not since the previous loan notification was given. Set and start timing again. Further, the configuration related to timer update when the function of the main control board described above is used as the payout control board can be replaced in the following embodiments.

When the lending communication abnormality 2 is determined, the main control board turns on the abnormality 2 flag indicating that the lending communication abnormality 2 has occurred, and also turns on the main control board, as in the case of the above-mentioned determination of the lending serial number abnormality. Sends an error 2 command indicating that a loan communication error 2 has occurred to the payout control board and the sub-control board S, and the payout control board and the sub-control board S that receive this send the respective error 2 flags on. , As described above, the addition to the total score is prohibited, or the effect display device S40, the speaker S20, or the like is used to notify that the rental communication abnormality 2 is present (hereinafter, this is simply referred to as "rental communication abnormality 2 notification". ".) Prohibition of addition to these total points and notification of loan communication abnormality 2 continue until the loan serial number 0 is received or the normal loan notification made after the first hour D has passed from the previous loan notification. The main control board, which received the lending serial number 0 and the normal lending notification via the payout control board, issued an abnormality 2 release command to the payout control board and the sub control board S to the effect that the lending communication abnormality 2 was canceled. By transmitting, the respective abnormality 2 flags are turned off on the payout control board and the sub-control board S, the prohibition of addition to the total score and the notification of the loan communication abnormality 2 that have been executed up to that point are terminated.

In the case of this lending communication abnormality 2, as in the case of the lending serial number abnormality, the game is not stopped by the revolving game machine while the lending communication abnormality 2 is notified, and the revolving game machine is not stopped. The game is performed as usual, and has the same effect as when the rental serial number is abnormal. Further, in the present embodiment, since the first time D, which is the minimum time interval between the previous and current loan notifications, is monitored, the abnormality is determined when the minimum time interval is exceeded. It is possible to detect communication abnormalities early after the loan notification.

<Lending communication abnormality 3>
Next, the lending communication abnormality 3 will be described with reference to FIG. 169. Also in FIG. 169, a predetermined time X (for example, 300 ms), a fixed time A (for example, 100 ms), a time B (for example, 170 ms), a time required for a loan receipt result response (approximately 0 ms), and a minimum time C (for example, 30 ms). ) Is the same as in FIG. 168.

In the present embodiment, as described above, the loan notification is within the time B from the count notification, in other words, within the time during which the minimum time C can be secured from the count notification (predetermined time X-fixed time A-minimum time C = It suffices to be done at time B), and the minimum timing of receiving the count notification and immediately notifying (notifying at the same time as the count notification) is approximately 0 ms (in the present embodiment, it is treated as 0 ms as in the above-mentioned loan receipt notification). It is the notification time, and the timing of notification (for example, 170 ms) after the time B when the count notification is received is the maximum notification time. In other words, the loan notification is given at any timing from 0 ms to time B, and the time required from the previous loan notification to the current loan notification also changes.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 169, when the previous loan notification is made at the timing of the above-mentioned minimum notification time, the time required from the previous game machine information notification to the previous loan notification is fixed. It becomes the same as time A. Therefore, in the case of the timing at the minimum notification time described above, the time required from the previous lending notification to the current gaming machine information notification is the maximum first maximum time E among all the lending notification timings. The first maximum time E is a value obtained by subtracting the fixed time A (for example, 100 ms) from the predetermined time X (for example, 300 ms) (for example, 300 ms for the predetermined time X − 100 ms = 200 ms for the fixed time A). In other words, the first maximum time E is the time required from the response of the previous loan receipt result to the notification of the game machine information this time, and is equal to or longer than the minimum time C (for example, 30 ms).

In addition, when the current loan notification is given at the timing of the above-mentioned maximum notification time, the time required from the current game information notification to the current loan notification (see the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 169) is all the loan notifications. It becomes the maximum second maximum time F in the timing of. The second maximum time F is the sum of the fixed time A and the time B (100 ms of the fixed time A + 170 ms of the time B = 270 ms). From a different point of view, if the current loan notification is given at the timing of the above-mentioned maximum notification time, the time required from the current loan notification (lending receipt result response) to the next game information notification is the minimum. It becomes the same as time C. Therefore, the second maximum time F is also a value obtained by subtracting the minimum time C (for example, 30 ms) from the predetermined time X (for example, 300 ms) (for example, 300 ms for the predetermined time X −30 ms = 270 ms for the minimum time C). This can be said (in FIG. 169, this person is described).

Based on the above contents, the second time G, which is the maximum time required from the previous loan notification to the current loan notification, is the first maximum time, which is the maximum time from the previous loan notification to the current game machine information notification. The sum of the time E and the second maximum time F, which is the maximum time from the current game machine information notification to the current lending notification (for example, 200 ms of the first maximum time + 270 ms of the second maximum time = 470 ms). Become. Therefore, when the main control board that has received the current loan notification via the payout control board refers to the above-mentioned loan notification timer area, if the value of this timer area is within the second hour G from the previous loan notification, It can be said that it is in a normal state, but if the second time G has passed, it can be said that it is in an abnormal state. In this case, the main control board determines that the rental communication abnormality 3 is present. ..

When the lending communication abnormality 3 is determined, the main control board turns on the abnormality 3 flag indicating that the lending communication abnormality 3 has occurred, and also turns on the main control board, as in the case of the above-mentioned determination of the lending serial number abnormality. Sends an error 3 command indicating that a loan communication error 3 has occurred to the payout control board and the sub-control board S, and the payout control board and the sub-control board S that receive the command turn on the respective error 3 flags. , As described above, the addition to the total score is prohibited, or the effect display device S40, the speaker S20, or the like notifies that the rental communication abnormality 3 is present (hereinafter, this is simply referred to as "rental communication abnormality 3 notification". ".) Prohibition of addition to these total points and notification of loan communication abnormality 3 will continue until the loan serial number 0 is received or the normal loan notification made within the second hour G from the previous loan notification is received. The main control board, which is executed and receives the lending serial number 0 and the normal lending notification via the payout control board, transmits an abnormality 3 cancellation command indicating that the lending communication abnormality 3 has been canceled to the payout control board and the sub control board S. By doing so, the respective abnormality 3 flags are turned off on the payout control board and the sub-control board S, and the prohibition of addition to the total score and the execution of the lending communication abnormality 3 notification that has been executed are terminated.

In the case of this lending communication abnormality 3, as in the case of the lending serial number abnormality, the game is not stopped by the revolving game machine while the lending communication abnormality 3 is notified, and the revolving game machine is not stopped. The game is performed as usual, and has the same effect as when the rental serial number is abnormal. Further, in the present embodiment, since the second time G, which is the maximum time interval between the previous and current loan notifications, is monitored, the loan notification is not made or the loan notification timing is abnormally delayed (second time). (Lending notification after the lapse of G) can be immediately determined as the lending communication abnormality 3, and the communication abnormality can be detected early at the maximum time interval between the lending notifications.

<Lending communication abnormality 4>
Next, the lending communication abnormality 4 will be described with reference to FIG. 168. In the present embodiment, as described above, after a fixed time A has passed since the spinning machine has notified the rental machine of the gaming machine information, the spinning gaming machine has notified the rental machine of the count, and the rental machine has been notified. In the above, after the counting notification is given from the rotating cylinder type game machine, the loan notification is given to the rotating cylinder type gaming machine. Therefore, in the rotating cylinder type game machine, if the rental machine gives the rental notification within the fixed time A after the game machine information notification is given, it is in an abnormal state. In this case, the main control board is in the rental communication. It is designed to be determined as abnormal 4.

Specifically, the main control board has a game machine information notification timer area which is an addition type timer area (not shown) in which the value increases from 0 to 1 to 2 starting from the game machine information notification. Then, 0 is set in the game machine information notification timer area, and the measurement is performed until the predetermined time X, which is the upper limit time thereof, is reached. For example, when 100 is stored in this timer area and 1 is added to obtain 111, the game machine information notification timer stores 111 as it is because this value is not X for a predetermined time. If the predetermined time X is not reached when 1 is added, the value is stored, and if it is the predetermined time X, 0 is set again and the timer is clocked up to the predetermined time X. ~ It is designed to circulate X for a predetermined time. That is, in the case of the addition formula of the present embodiment, the specification is such that the predetermined time X, which is the longest time (largest value) from the loan notification that is the starting point of the timing, is the upper limit, and the game is played in a single timer area. Grasp a plurality of times (plural thresholds) of a predetermined time X, a fixed time A (first threshold value) shorter than the predetermined time X, and a second maximum time F (second threshold value) starting from the machine information notification. It is possible. Further, the game machine information notification is transmitted to the rental machine at the timing when the predetermined time X is reached or when 0 is set.

Then, when the lending notification is given to the main control board via the payout control board, the main control board refers to the value measured in the game machine information notification timer area, and this value sets the fixed time A. If it has not passed (when the loan notification is given within the fixed time A), it is determined that the loan communication error 4. The rental notification timer area and the game machine information notification timer area may be continuous areas or discontinuous areas, but it is preferable to arrange them in continuous areas from the viewpoint of ease of management. ..

When the lending communication abnormality 4 is determined, the main control board turns on the abnormality 4 flag indicating that the lending communication abnormality 4 has occurred, and also turns on the main control board, as in the case of the above-mentioned determination of the lending serial number abnormality. Sends an error 4 command indicating that a loan communication error 4 has occurred to the payout control board and the sub-control board S, and the payout control board and the sub-control board S that receive the command turn on the respective error 4 flags. , As described above, the addition to the total score is prohibited, or the effect display device S40, the speaker S20, or the like notifies that the rental communication abnormality 4 is present (hereinafter, this is simply referred to as "rental communication abnormality 4 notification". It is said.) Prohibition of addition to these total points and notification of loan communication abnormality 4 are continuously performed until the loan serial number 0 is received or the normal loan notification made after the fixed time A is received from the previous loan notification. , The main control board that has received the lending serial number 0 and the normal lending notification via the payout control board sends an abnormality 4 cancellation command indicating that the lending communication abnormality 4 has been canceled to the payout control board and the sub-control board S. , Each abnormality 4 flag is turned off on the sub-control board S, the prohibition of addition to the total score and the notification of the rental communication abnormality 4 that have been executed up to that point are terminated.

In the case of this lending communication abnormality 4, as in the case of the lending serial number abnormality, the game is not stopped by the revolving game machine while the lending communication abnormality 4 is notified, and the revolving game machine is not stopped. The game is performed as usual, and has the same effect as when the rental serial number is abnormal. Further, in the present embodiment, since the fixed time A from the game machine information notification is monitored, when the loan notification is made abnormally early (when the loan notification is made within the fixed time A), the loan is immediately made. It can be determined that the communication abnormality 4 can be determined, and the communication abnormality can be detected early after the notification of the game machine information.

<Lending communication abnormality 5>
Next, the lending communication abnormality 5 will be described with reference to FIG. 170. Also in FIG. 170, a predetermined time X (for example, 300 ms), a fixed time A (for example, 100 ms), a time B (for example, 170 ms), a time required for a loan receipt result response (approximately 0 ms), and a minimum time C (for example, 30 ms). ) Is the same as in FIG. 168.

As described in the above-mentioned loan communication abnormality 3, in the loan notification, the time required from the game machine information notification to the loan notification is maximized in the above-mentioned second maximum time F. Therefore, when the main control board that has received the loan notification via the payout control board refers to the above-mentioned game machine information notification timer area, if the value of this timer area does not elapse the second maximum time F. Although it can be said that it is a normal state, it can be said that it is an abnormal state when the second maximum time F has passed. In this case, the main control board determines that the rental communication abnormality 5 is satisfied.

When the lending communication abnormality 5 is determined, the main control board turns on the abnormality 5 flag indicating that the lending communication abnormality 5 has occurred, and also turns on the main control board, as in the case of the above-mentioned determination of the lending serial number abnormality. Sends an error 5 command indicating that a loan communication error 5 has occurred to the payout control board and the sub-control board S, and the payout control board and the sub-control board S that receive the command turn on the respective error 5 flags. , As described above, the addition to the total score is prohibited, and the effect display device S40, the speaker S20, etc. are notified that the rental communication abnormality 5 is present (hereinafter, this is simply referred to as "rental communication abnormality 5 notification"). .) It is like this. Prohibition of addition to these total points and notification of loan communication abnormality 5 will continue until the loan serial number 0 is received or the normal loan notification made within the second maximum time F from the previous loan notification is received. The main control board, which receives the lending serial number 0 and the normal lending notification via the payout control board, sends an abnormality 5 cancellation command indicating that the lending communication abnormality 5 has been canceled to the sub-control board S. Each of the abnormality 5 flags is turned off on the payout control board and the sub control board S, and the prohibition of addition to the total score and the notification of the loan communication abnormality 5 that have been executed up to that point are terminated.

In the case of this lending communication abnormality 5, as in the case of the lending serial number abnormality, the game is not stopped by the revolving game machine while the lending communication abnormality 5 is notified, and the revolving game machine is not stopped. The game is performed as usual, and has the same effect as when the rental serial number is abnormal. Further, in the present embodiment, since the second maximum time F from the game machine information notification to the lending notification is monitored, the lending notification is not made or the lending notification timing is abnormally delayed (the second from the game machine information notification). (Lending notification after the lapse of the maximum time F) can be immediately determined as the lending communication abnormality 5, and the communication abnormality can be detected early after the gaming machine information notification.

<Lending communication abnormality 6>
Next, the lending communication abnormality 6 will be described with reference to FIG. 168. In the present embodiment, as described above, the game machine information notification is made every predetermined time X, and the loan notification is given only once within the predetermined time X. Therefore, if there is no loan notification even once within this predetermined time X, or if the second loan notification is given, it can be said that the state is abnormal. Specifically, on the main control board, the number of loan notifications received from the notification of the game machine information this time to the next notification of the game machine information is counted by a loan notification counter (not shown), and the next time. When the game machine information notification is performed (when the value of the game machine information notification timer area becomes X for a predetermined time), the above-mentioned lending notification counter is referred to, and if this value is 1, it is determined to be normal. For example, if the value is other than 1, such as 0 or 2, it is determined to be abnormal. In this case, the main control board is designed to determine the rental communication abnormality 6.

When the lending communication abnormality 6 is determined, the main control board turns on the abnormality flag 2 indicating that the lending communication abnormality 2 has occurred, and the main control board, as in the case of the above-mentioned determination of the lending serial number abnormality. Sends an error 6 command to the effect that a loan communication error 6 has occurred to the payout control board and the sub control board S, and receives this from the payout control board and the sub control board S on the sub control board S, respectively. Is turned on to prohibit the addition to the total score as described above, or to notify that the rental communication abnormality 6 is caused by the effect display device S40, the speaker S20, or the like (hereinafter, this is simply referred to as "." It is called "Lending communication abnormality 6 notification".) Prohibition of addition to these total points and notification of lending communication abnormality 6 are continuously performed until the lending serial number 0 is received or a new game machine information notification is given, and the lending serial number 0 is received or a new lending serial number is notified. When the game machine information notification is performed, the main control board sends an abnormality 6 release command indicating that the loan communication abnormality 6 has been released to the payout control board and the sub control board S, thereby causing the payout control board and the sub control board S. Each of the abnormal 6 flags is turned off at, and the prohibition of addition to the total score and the notification of the loan communication abnormality 6 that had been executed up to that point are terminated.

That is, in the present embodiment, in the lending communication abnormalities 2 to 5, it is determined whether or not there is an abnormality when the lending notification is given on the premise that the lending notification always comes (in other words, the lending communication abnormalities 2 to 5). In the judgment of, it is not judged as abnormal if the loan notification has never been given), but if the loan notification is never given in these lending communication abnormalities 2 to 5, this lending communication abnormality It is a specification to judge as 6. In this way, when the lending notification has never been given, the lending communication abnormality 6 is collectively determined. Therefore, the case where the lending notification is never given in the lending communication abnormalities 2 to 5 The determination can be omitted, and the control load can be reduced.

In the case of this lending communication abnormality 6, as in the case of the lending serial number abnormality, the game is not stopped by the revolving game machine while the lending communication abnormality 6 is notified, and the revolving game machine is not stopped. The game is performed as usual, and has the same effect as when the rental serial number is abnormal. Further, in the present embodiment, since the number of loan notifications within the predetermined time X is monitored, when there is a loan notification exceeding the specified number of times within the predetermined time X (once in the present embodiment), It can be immediately determined that the loan communication abnormality 6 is used, and the communication abnormality can be detected early within the predetermined time X.

<Multiple error notifications>
In the present embodiment, the lending serial number abnormality and the lending communication abnormality 1 to 6 are set as described above, and when each communication abnormality occurs, the notification corresponding to each is made. If multiple communication abnormalities occur, perform as follows. For example, when a lending serial number abnormality occurs and the serial number abnormality flag is turned on, and a lending communication abnormality 1 occurs, the sub-control board S also turns on the abnormality 1 notification flag, and the lending serial number abnormality notification and Lending communication error 1 Notification is performed. During these notifications, as described above, the game is not stopped by the rotating game machine, the lending by the rental machine is not stopped, and the game by the rotating game machine and the lending by the rental machine are usually performed. It will be done as it is. In this state, for example, if only the lending serial number abnormality is resolved, the serial number abnormality notification flag is turned off, but since the abnormality 1 notification flag remains on, the lending serial number abnormality notification ends while the lending communication abnormality is abnormal. 1 Notification is continuously performed.

In this way, when any of the lending serial number abnormality and the lending communication abnormality 1 to 6 occur at the same time, the generated abnormal state is notified respectively, and when the abnormality is cleared, only the target notification is terminated. It has become. In this way, it is possible to easily determine the type of abnormal state currently occurring by performing notification corresponding to each of the abnormalities that have occurred.

In this embodiment, the notification flags corresponding to the lending serial number abnormality and the lending communication abnormality 1 to 6 are set (turned on), and while the notification flag is set, the notification corresponding to the notification flag is set. Instead of this, only a single general notification flag is used as the notification flag, and if any of the lending serial number abnormality and the lending communication abnormality 1 to 6 occurs, The general notification flag may be left on, and the general notification flag may be turned off only after all the abnormalities are cleared. In this case, only one notification flag is required, and the notification flag can be turned on / off only by the presence or absence of an abnormality, so that the program and data capacity for executing this process can be reduced.

Further, in the present embodiment, after the main control board determines the abnormality, the game is not stopped by the rotating cylinder type game machine, the lending by the lending machine, etc. is not performed until the abnormality is cleared. However, instead of this, for example, the operation of the rotating cylinder type game machine may be stopped, the operation of the rental machine may be stopped, or both the operation of the rotating cylinder type game machine and the operation of the rental machine may be stopped. .. In addition, when stopping the operation of the rotating cylinder type game machine, the normal game such as reel rotation by pressing the start lever D50, reel stop by the stop switch, and points given to the player by winning a prize is not stopped as it is. While making it feasible, at least part of the control related to the interaction with the rental machine may be stopped, such as stopping only the control related to the communication with the rental machine such as the score addition from the rental machine. ..

In short, when an abnormality occurs, all the functions of the rotating machine and the rental machine may be stopped, or only a part of them (control related to the abnormality, etc.) may be stopped. , These can be set as appropriate according to the specifications of the rotating cylinder type game machine and the rental machine. Specifically, when an abnormality occurs, the bet, counting, and return related to the abnormality related to the communication between the rotating game machine and the rental machine are invalidated, and new betting operation, counting operation, and return operation are impossible. On the other hand, the bet made before the occurrence of the abnormality may be valid as it is, and the operation of the start switch and the stop switch which are not directly related to the above-mentioned abnormality may also be valid. In this case, if a bet has already been made before the abnormality occurs, the reels can be rotated by pressing the start switch D50, and these rotating reels can be stopped by pressing the stop switch. Even if the reels are already rotating when they occur, these reels can be stopped by pressing the stop switch, but new bets cannot be made thereafter. In addition, after the game related to the bet before the occurrence of this abnormality, the bet is in the invalid state, but the start switch and the stop switch may be kept in the active state, and it is also meaningful that the bet cannot be made and is substantially enabled. Since there is no such thing, these start switches and stop switches may be disabled.

Further, in the present embodiment, the fixed time A (for example, 100 ms), the time B (for example, 170 ms), the minimum time C (for example, 30 ms), and the predetermined time X (for example, 300 ms) are specifically written in parentheses. However, these times are not particularly limited to the numbers explained in the above-described embodiment, and can be changed as appropriate according to the specifications of the rotating cylinder type game machine and the rental machine. Needless to say, the first and second hours D and G, the first maximum time E, F and the like are also changed at the same time.

Further, in the present embodiment, when there are a lending serial number abnormality and a lending communication abnormality 1 to 6, notification corresponding to each is performed, and by satisfying the condition for canceling these abnormalities, the corresponding cancellation is performed. When the sub-control board S receives the command, the notification is stopped. Instead, even if the conditions for canceling these abnormalities are satisfied, the notification may be continued. .. In this case, the end condition for ending this notification is, for example, reset by changing the setting until the power is turned off, a plurality of games have elapsed, and a predetermined time has elapsed after the condition for canceling the abnormality is satisfied. It is possible to set appropriate termination conditions, such as until the sub-control board S is ram-cleared. In this way, even if the condition for canceling the abnormality is satisfied, the notification corresponding to the abnormality is performed as it is, so that it is possible to reliably notify that the abnormality has occurred.

<Modification example Abnormality judgment by payout control means>
Further, in the present embodiment, the main control board is used to determine the lending serial number abnormality and the lending communication abnormality 1 to 6, but instead, the payout control board may perform these determinations. good. In this case, the fact that one of the lending serial number abnormality and the lending communication abnormality 1 to 6 (flags set in the payout control board corresponding to these) and the command corresponding to each abnormality are sent from the payout control board. The main control board and the sub control board S that received these by transmitting to the main control board and the sub control board S (for the sub control board S, the determination contents and commands from the payout control board are received. A command or the like may be received via the main control board.) However, various notifications and the like described above corresponding to this command may be performed.

That is, information such as the occurrence and cancellation of various abnormalities is transmitted from the payout control board to the main control board and the sub-control board S, but even if the abnormality is cleared by the payout control board, the main control board and the sub-control board In at least one of S, the abnormality is continuously notified, or when the abnormality is cleared by the payout control board, the abnormality notification of at least one of the main control board and the sub control board S is synchronized with this. Or, even if the abnormality is cleared on the payout control board, the main control board side continues to be in an abnormal state, and the sub-control board S receives information from the payout control board to the effect that the abnormality is cleared. However, based on the state in which the payout control board, the main control board, and the sub-control board S are each received, the abnormality is notified until the state indicating that the abnormality is released from the main control board is received. The processing corresponding to the information may be performed independently.

Further, in this case, the above-mentioned lending notification timer area and game information notification timer area for performing abnormality determination may be configured to be directly provided by the payout control board, or these timers provided on the main control board. The area may be configured so that the payout control board can refer to it by communicating with the main control board. In short, regardless of whether it is the main control board or the payout control board, it is sufficient that the main body performing the abnormality determination can refer to the timer area. In this way, the payout control board that directly receives the loan notification from the rental machine also performs the abnormality determination, so that the processing load on the main control board can be reduced.

Here, in the specification that the payout control board determines various abnormalities and transmits information (commands) related to these abnormalities to the main control board and the sub control board S, the main control board has a rental serial number abnormality and a rental communication abnormality 1. The types of to 6 are transmitted, but the sub-control board S is not sent such a subdivided type, but simply transmits an abnormality information indicating that there is some abnormality, and receives this. The sub-control board S may be notified that there is some abnormality. Even in this case, as in the above, by not telling the outside the type of internal minor abnormality, it is possible to prevent the person who commits fraud from being informed of more internal information than necessary. It is possible to improve security. The same can be said for the above-described embodiment in which the main control board determines various abnormalities.

<Modification example Subtraction timer>
Further, in the present embodiment, in the lending notification timer area and the game machine information notification timer area, the addition type is used, but the subtraction type such as 10 → 9 → 8 may be used. A modified example of this embodiment using the subtraction formula will be described below. Further, in this modification, a specification in which the payout control board determines various abnormalities will be described as an example, but it goes without saying that a specification in which the main control board determines various abnormalities may be used instead.

On the main control board, a first timer area for timing a predetermined time X (for example, 300 ms) starting from the game machine information notification and a fixed time A (for example, 100 ms) starting from the game machine information notification are clocked. The second timer area, the third timer area that clocks the second maximum time F (for example, 270 ms) starting from the game machine information notification, and the first time D (for example, 130 ms) that starts from the loan notification are clocked. A fourth timer area is provided, and a fifth timer area for timing the second time G (for example, 470 ms) starting from the loan notification is provided.

When the game machine information is notified from the rotating game machine to the rental machine, the predetermined time X is set in the first timer area, the fixed time A is set in the second timer area, and the second maximum time is set in the third timer area. F is set respectively, and the value set in each timer area is decremented by 1 for each timer interrupt process performed every 1 ms described above. The first timer area is subtracted from X to 0 for a predetermined time. For example, when 200 is stored in the first timer area and 1 is subtracted to become 199, this value is not 0. Therefore, if 199 is stored as it is, if it is not 0 when 1 is subtracted, the value is stored, and if it is 0 when 1 is subtracted, the zero flag is set and the zero flag is set. In that case, the predetermined time X is set again. By doing so, X to 0 are circulated for a predetermined time.

In the present embodiment, the specification is such that 1 is subtracted for each timer interrupt. For example, when the timer interrupt is performed every 0.5 ms, 1 is subtracted by 2 timer interrupts. As described above, a predetermined value may be subtracted for each predetermined number of timer interrupts. That is, the timer interrupt cycle and the predetermined value of subtraction can be appropriately set, and the number of timer interrupts for executing the subtraction may be set according to these cycles and the predetermined value of subtraction.

The second timer area and the third timer area also store their values if they are not 0 when 1 is subtracted, but the carry flag is set when 1 is subtracted from 0, and the carry flag is set when the carry flag is set. The result of is set to 0. In this way, once it becomes 0, it will be maintained at 0 until the game machine information notification is made again (X is stored in the first timer area for a predetermined time). With such a configuration, the timer value does not exceed the upper limit, and it is not necessary to branch the process according to the timer value, so that the program can be simplified and the capacity can be reduced.

Further, when the rental machine notifies the rotating game machine of lending, the second maximum time F is set in the third timer area, the first time D is set in the fourth timer area, and the fifth timer is set. The second time G is set in the area, and the value set in each timer area is subtracted by 1. These timer areas also store their values if they are not 0 when 1 is subtracted, but the carry flag is set when 1 is subtracted from 0, and the subtraction result is 0 when the carry flag is set. I try to do it. In this way, once it becomes 0, it will be maintained at 0 until the game machine information is notified again. With this configuration, the timer value does not exceed the upper limit, and it is not necessary to branch the process according to the timer value, so that the program can be simplified and the capacity can be reduced. When the gaming machine information is notified in this state, the second maximum time F, the first time D, and the second time G are set again, and the time counting by the subtraction formula is started.

When the value of the payout control board reaches 0 in the first timer area (when the current game machine information notification is performed after the previous game machine information notification is performed), the value of the loan notification counter is referred to. If this value is 1, it is determined to be normal, and if it is a value other than 1, it is determined to be a lending communication abnormality 6.

Further, when the payout control board receives the loan notification from the rental machine, it refers to each timer area, and when the value of the second timer area is 0 (when the loan notification is given after the fixed time A has elapsed). ) Is determined to be normal, and if the second timer area is not 0 (when there is a loan notification within the fixed time A), it is determined to be a loan communication error 4.

Further, the payout control board determines that the value of the third timer area is not 0 (when the loan notification is received within the second maximum time) when the loan notification is received from the rental machine, and determines that the third timer area is normal. 3 When the value of the timer area is 0 (when the loan notification is given after the second maximum time has elapsed), it is determined that the loan communication error 5.

Further, when the payout control board receives a lending notification from the rental machine in a state where the time is measured by the 4th timer area, the value of the 4th timer area is 0 (1st time D elapsed). If the loan notification is received later), it is determined to be normal, and if the value of the fourth timer area is not 0 (if the loan notification is received within the first hour D), it is determined that the loan communication error 2.

Further, when the payout control board receives a rental notification from the rental machine in a state where the time is measured by the 5th timer area, the value of the 5th timer area is not 0 (within the 2nd hour G). When the lending notification is received), it is determined to be normal, and when the value of the fifth timer area is 0 (when the lending notification is received after the lapse of the second time G), it is determined that the lending communication abnormality 3. Even when a subtraction type is used as in this example, the same effect as that of the above-described embodiment is obtained.

In this modification, it was determined whether the value was abnormal or normal based on whether the value of the second to fifth timer areas was 0, but the value of the second to fifth timer areas was not 0. Or 0, in other words, in the former, the second to fifth timer areas are clocking (operating), and in the latter, the operation of the second to fifth timer areas is completed (non-operating). Since it is synonymous with (middle), it is determined whether the second to fifth timer areas are abnormal or normal depending on whether they are operating (synonymous with non-zero) or non-operating (synonymous with 0). You may try to do it.

Further, in this modification, the first to fifth timer regions are used, but instead of this, the following may be used. That is, as the starting point of the game machine information notification, the first timer area that clocks the predetermined time X and the second maximum time F that is longer than the timer area 2 that clocks the fixed time A are clocked. There are only two timer areas, and the one starting from the loan notification is the fifth timer area that clocks the second time G, which is longer than the fourth timer area that clocks the first time D. Only, a total of three timer areas should be provided.

In this case, in the third timer area, when the game machine information notification is performed, the second maximum time F is set, and the time is measured by the subtraction formula. In this state, when the loan notification is received, the payout control board refers to the value in the third timer area, and if this value has passed the fixed time A and is not 0 (after the fixed time A has passed). If there is a loan notification, or if there is a loan notification within the second maximum time), it is judged as normal, and if this value is within the fixed time A and is not 0, it is judged as a loan communication abnormality 4, and this When the value has passed the fixed time and is 0 (when the loan notification is given after the second maximum time has elapsed), it is determined that the loan communication abnormality is 5.

Further, in the fifth timer area, the second time G is set when the loan notification is given, and the time is measured by the subtraction formula. In this state, when a loan notification is received from the rental machine, the payout control board refers to the value in the fifth timer area, and if this value has passed the first time D and is not 0 (first time D). If the loan notification is received after the lapse of time, or if the loan notification is received within the second hour G), it is judged as normal, and if this value is within the first hour D and is not 0 (within the first hour D). If a loan notification is received), it is determined that the loan communication is abnormal 2, and if this value is 0 after the first time D has passed (when a loan notification is received after the second time G has passed), the loan is lent. It is determined that the communication error is 3.

<Relationship between various timer areas and power off>
Here, in the gaming machine information notification timer area, the lending notification timer area, and the lending notification counter of the above-described embodiment, in the first to fifth timer areas in the above-described modification, the power of the rotating cylinder type gaming machine is turned off. After that, when the power is restored, everything is cleared. As the timing of this clearing, either the above-mentioned power off processing or power restoration processing may be performed. Further, the values of these timer areas and counters are cleared by turning off the power. For example, the value of the game interval minimum time timer M70 for measuring the wait time and the freeze time described in the above-described embodiment are measured. The value of the timer to be used is not cleared. In this way, the timer area related to the communication between the rotating machine and the rental machine, which does not affect the progress of the game of the rotating game machine itself, is cleared by returning from the power failure, while the rotating game machine. By not clearing the weights that affect the progress of the game and the timer related to the freeze, it is possible to prevent the reversal of the power failure from hindering the progress of the game of the rotating cylinder type game machine.

<< Setting change device control process >>
Next, the setting change control process according to the present embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, when the setting key switch is determined to be ON in step 1014 of FIG. 13 (No in step 1014 of FIG. 13), the setting changing flag indicating that the setting is being changed is turned on, and this setting is being changed. When the flag is on, the setting changing signal is transmitted (output) from the rotating game machine to the rental machine (not shown). At this time, by controlling the sub-control board S, the effect display device S40, the speaker S20, the setting display LED (not shown), and the like are notified about the setting change such that the setting is being changed. There is. Further, in the present embodiment, the setting changing signal is transmitted, but instead of this, a security signal indicating that fraud detection, setting change or setting confirmation is being performed may be transmitted. The security signal and the setting changing signal may be transmitted at the same time, and the point is that a signal indicating that the setting is being changed may be transmitted.

Then, in the setting change device control process shown in FIG. 14, the main control board sets the settings when the processes of steps 1100 to 1116 are executed and then Yes in step 1118, in other words, when the setting change process is completed. A command indicating that the operation of the changing device has been completed is displayed, the display of the setting value (setting value data) of the setting display LED (not shown) is erased, and then the setting change mode is terminated on the sub-control board S side. Is executed (step 1120). At this point, the setting change in the rotating cylinder type game machine is completed, but in the present embodiment, the state in which the above-mentioned setting changing flag is turned on is maintained until the subsequent one game is completed. , The setting changing signal is continuously transmitted (output) from the rotating game machine to the rental machine. Then, when one game is completed, the setting changing flag is turned off, and the output of the setting changing signal from the rotating cylinder type game machine to the rental machine is also finished.

As described above, in the present embodiment, as soon as the setting change process is completed, the setting change flag is turned off and the transmission of the setting change signal is not ended, but one game after the setting change process is completed is completed. Later, the setting changing flag is turned off to end the transmission of the setting changing signal. In the present embodiment, the end of one game means that when the score is given (paid out), the score is given (paid out), and when the score is not given (paid out), after all reels are stopped. When various processes are completed, in the case of a re-game, the predetermined timing before the automatic input operation by this re-game is executed is defined as the end of one game, but the timing of the end of one game is not limited to this. , Any timing may be used between the time when all reels are stopped and the time before the next game is introduced. This also applies to the other embodiments described above.

That is, in the revolving game machine that directly uses the game medal, the communication with the rental machine is not performed, and only the control inside the revolving game machine is sufficient. Therefore, the above-mentioned end processing is performed immediately after the setting change is completed. be able to. On the other hand, in the medalless spinning game machine communicating with the rental machine as in the present embodiment, as described above, the game including the HC / fraud monitoring information is provided every predetermined time X (for example, 300 ms). Machine information notification is performed, and this game machine information notification is related to setting changes such as the above-mentioned information that the settings are being changed, information that the settings are being confirmed, information that the setting change mode has ended, and so on. Information is also included. Therefore, if the setting key is turned ON / OFF within a predetermined time X (when a series of setting changes are made and ended), the above-mentioned setting change-related information may not be output accurately. In this case, in the rental machine, it is not possible to grasp that the setting has been changed or that the power failure has been restored due to the setting change in the rotating body type game machine. There is a risk of problems such as inconsistency in communication between the machine and the rotating game machine.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, even after the setting is changed, the state in which the above-mentioned setting changing flag is turned on is maintained until the end of one game, and the setting changing signal is sent to the rotating cylinder type gaming machine. Is in a state of continuing to send (output) to the rental machine. In the present embodiment, the setting changing signal is transmitted to the payout control board until the end of one game after the setting change, but in the rotating cylinder type game machine, the setting change is completed. Therefore, the signal during the setting change is not transmitted to the sub-control board S (when the setting change is completed, the transmission of the setting changing signal to the sub-control board S is finished), and the rotating cylinder type gaming machine is used. Is not notified that the setting is being changed by the respective controls of the main control board and the sub control board S. Instead of this, while the setting changing signal is being transmitted from the main control board to the payout control board, the setting changing signal is also transmitted to the sub control board S, so that the sub control board S is also transmitted. (For example, notification that the setting is being changed by the effect display device S40) may be performed by the control of.

Further, in the present embodiment, the predetermined time X is set to be shorter than the shortest time Y required for one game. That is, the shortest time Y required for one game is a state in which there is no weight (maximum approximately 4.1 seconds), each reel is stopped in quick succession, each reel is stopped without slipping, and a score is given (paid out) process. It is a time required when there is no automatic input related to the re-game, and a time shorter than this shortest time Y is set as a predetermined time X (specifically, for example, the above-mentioned 300 ms, that is, 0.3 seconds). It is practically impossible to finish one game within 0.3 seconds). By doing so, information such as the fact that the setting of the rotating game machine is being changed can be reliably transmitted to the rental machine, and the rental machine and the rotating game machine due to the setting change or the like can be used. It is possible to prevent problems such as inconsistency in communication.

Further, in the present embodiment, the setting changing signal is continuously output to the rental machine until the end of one game, but if the power is cut off at this time, after the power is restored. The setting changing signal and the setting confirmation signal are output to the rental machine again. That is, even if the power is turned off on the rotating game machine side, the power is not turned off on the rental machine. In this case, the setting changing signal cannot be received from the rotating game machine. , This setting changing signal is not cleared even if the power is turned off or turned on, and by transmitting these signals again after returning from the power off, the rental machine is continuously changing the setting, etc. This can be recognized, and problems such as inconsistency in communication between the rental machine and the rotating game machine due to the power failure on the rotating body type game machine side can be prevented.

If the power is turned off and the setting key is turned on again during the setting change signal output after the setting change, the mode shifts to the setting change mode again, but in this case, the setting changing flag is once turned off. The setting changing flag is overwritten from on to on, such as turning it off again after it becomes (for example, 0 is not in the storage area for checking whether the setting is being changed). If 1 indicates that the setting is being changed during the setting change, processing such as overwriting this 1 with 1 again can be mentioned). In addition, the timing of power off during signal output during setting change after setting change is the timing after setting change and before one game is performed, and between betting after setting change and reel stop. Any of the timings (for example, during reel rotation, etc.) can be mentioned.

<Signal during setting confirmation>
Further, in the present embodiment, between the end of the setting change and the end of one game, for example, after the end of the setting change and before the end of one game, or after the bet is made after the end of the setting change. If the setting key switch is turned on without turning off the power at any timing until the reel stops, the mode shifts to the setting confirmation mode for confirming the set value. In this setting confirmation mode, in the main control board, the setting confirmation flag is turned on, and the setting confirmation signal is transmitted from the main control board to the payout control board and the sub control board S. In this case, two signals, a setting changing signal and a setting confirming signal, are transmitted from the main control board to the payout control board and the sub control board S. If the setting key switch is turned off in this state, the setting confirmation is completed, the setting confirmation flag is turned off, and the transmission of the setting confirmation signal is also completed.

Here, in the state where two signals, the setting changing signal and the setting confirming signal, are transmitted to the payout control board and the sub-control board S, the setting change has already been completed, but the setting confirmation has already been completed. This is the actual situation. Therefore, in the present embodiment, in the state where the two signals, the setting changing signal and the setting confirming signal, are transmitted to the payout control board and the sub control board S, the control of the sub control board S controls. For example, the effect display device S40 notifies that the setting is being confirmed, such as displaying that the setting is being confirmed, but does not notify that the setting is being changed. In addition, when the setting confirmation is completed, the notification that the setting is being confirmed is terminated, and the standby screen or the normal effect screen is displayed even when the setting changing signal is being output. .. Needless to say, the notification during the setting confirmation may be performed by controlling at least one of the main control board and the payout control board. In this way, even if the setting changing signal and the setting checking signal are output from the main control board, accurate internal information is notified to the player by notifying only during the setting checking that is actually being performed. can do.

In the present embodiment, the setting change-related information is transmitted to the rental machine side every predetermined time X, but the information (command) accumulated at each specific time Y is sent to the rental machine side at each specific time Y. You may send it. In this case, even if the setting key switch is turned ON / OFF within the specific time Y, the information can be reliably output to the rental machine. The specific time Y may be the same as the predetermined time X, or may be shorter than the predetermined time X. For example, it is conceivable that the number of interrupts is 64 (corresponding to 64 ms because the timer interrupt process of the CPU of the payout control board is activated every 1 ms).

Further, in the present embodiment, as the predetermined information that continues to be output until the end of one game, the setting changing signal has been described as an example, but as the predetermined information of this kind, for example, that the power supply has been turned off. Information or the like may be used, and is not particularly limited as long as it is information that should be reliably transmitted from the rotating game machine to the rental machine. Further, in the present embodiment, the setting changing signal is transmitted until the end of one game after the setting change, but instead, the setting change related information is transmitted until the end of a plurality of games after the setting change is completed. You can do it. In short, even after the processing related to the predetermined information such as after the setting change is completed, the output may be continued from the completion of this processing to the predetermined timing such as the end of a plurality of games.

Further, in the present embodiment, the setting changing signal is continuously output until one game is completed, but for example, after the setting change is completed, both the setting changing signal and the setting confirmation signal are output until one game is completed. You may keep outputting. In this case, in the effect display device S40 or the like, after the setting change is completed, no notification is actually performed unless the setting is changed or the setting is confirmed, or these signals are being output. You may also make a notification of. Further, if the setting confirmation mode is actually entered while both signals are being output, the effect display device S40 may notify that the setting is being confirmed. In this way, by configuring so that both the setting changing signal and the setting checking signal are continuously output until the end of one game after the setting change is completed, it is possible to determine whether the setting is being changed or the setting is being confirmed. Since it is not necessary to selectively determine and transmit the signal, the control load can be reduced.
