Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2018-15414

In the configuration for calculating the percentage as in the gaming machine described in Patent Document 1, there is room for improvement in the processing performed when the calculated percentage can be an unintended value.

An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine with an improved configuration for calculating a percentage.

The gaming machine of claim 1 is
In a gaming machine that plays a game
Percentage calculation means for calculating the percentage of the second number to the first number,
A specific numerical value storage means that can store numerical values,
A specific flag setting means for setting a specific flag when the numerical value stored in the specific numerical value storage means exceeds 100, and a specific flag setting means.
With
The percentage calculation means is
A 100-fold value calculation means for calculating a 100-fold value obtained by multiplying the second number by 100,
A first number subtraction means for subtracting the first number from the 100 times value,
When the subtraction result by the first number subtraction means does not fall below 0, the number of subtractions obtained by subtracting the first number from the 100 times value is counted, and the subtraction number counting means is stored in the specific numerical value storage means.
Including
When the subtraction result by the first number subtraction means is less than 0, the number of subtractions stored in the specific numerical value storage means is calculated as a percentage of the second number with respect to the first number.
It is characterized in that an abnormality process is performed when the specific flag is set without the subtraction result by the first number subtraction means falling below 0.
According to this feature, when calculating the percentage of the second number with respect to the first number, the value of 100 times the second number is calculated, and the first number is calculated from the 100 times value of the second number until it falls below the first number. It can be subtracted and the number of subtractions can be calculated as a percentage of the second number with respect to the first number. In such a configuration, for example, when the first number is 0, even if the number of subtractions exceeds 100, which can be taken as a percentage, the result of subtracting the first number from the 100 times value of the second number does not fall below 0. However, in this case, the result of subtracting the first number from the value 100 times the second number does not fall below 0 because the abnormal processing is performed when the number of subtractions reaches a specific value exceeding 100. Even in this case, the subtraction of the first number can be completed. In addition, the number of subtractions is stored in the specific numerical value storage means in which the specific flag is set when the stored numerical value becomes a specific value, so that the number of subtractions can be determined only by determining whether or not the specific flag is set. Since it can be determined that is a specific value, every time the first number is subtracted from the 100 times value of the second number, the value with the specific value as the initial value is subtracted, and the value becomes 0. Compared to the one that determines that the number of subtractions has reached a specific value, or the one that compares the number of subtractions with a specific value and determines that the number of subtractions has reached a specific value when the comparison results match. The capacity can be reduced.

According to this feature, when calculating the percentage of the second number with respect to the first number, the value 200 times the second number is calculated, and the first number is calculated from the 200 times value of the second number until it falls below the first number. The value obtained by subtracting and multiplying the number of subtractions by 1/2 can be calculated as a percentage of the second number with respect to the first number. In such a configuration, for example, when the first number is 0, even if the value obtained by multiplying the number of subtractions by 1/2 exceeds 100, which can be taken as a percentage, the first number is subtracted from the 200 times value of the second number. It is possible that the result does not fall below 0, but in this case, the first number is subtracted from the 200 times the second number by performing abnormal processing when the number of subtractions reaches a specific value exceeding 200. Even if the result is not less than 0, the subtraction of the first number can be completed. In addition, the number of subtractions is stored in the specific numerical value storage means in which the specific flag is set when the stored numerical value becomes a specific value, so that the number of subtractions can be determined only by determining whether or not the specific flag is set. Since it can be determined that is a specific value, every time the first number is subtracted from the 200 times value of the second number, the value with the specific value as the initial value is subtracted, and the value becomes 0. Compared to the one that determines that the number of subtractions has reached a specific value, or the one that compares the number of subtractions with a specific value and determines that the number of subtractions has reached a specific value when the comparison results match. The capacity can be reduced.

The stop effective LEDs 22L, 22C, 22R, the set value display 24, the flow path switching solenoid 30, the reel unit 34, and the hopper unit 35 are connected, and these electric components and the game machine information display mounted on the game control board 40 are connected. The vessel 50 is driven based on the control of the main control unit 41, which will be described later, mounted on the game control board 40.

Further, the game control board 40 is equipped with a main control unit 41 that controls the game. The main control unit 41 includes a CPU 41a for performing calculations, a ROM 41b for storing programs and the like, and a RAM 41c for temporarily storing work data, and performs various controls according to the program stored in the ROM 41b.

The main control unit 41 includes a plurality of registers used by the CPU 41a to perform operations. The plurality of registers include an accumulator register (A register), a flag register (F register), a general-purpose register (BC register, DE register, HL register), an index register, an interrupt register, a refresh register, a program counter, a transmission register, and the like. Contains registers. Further, among these registers, the accumulator register, the flag register, and the general-purpose register include a front register and a back register configured to be paired with each other (hereinafter, the front register and the back register may be simply referred to as registers). is there). The CPU 41a updates the value of a predetermined register by executing various instructions such as an arithmetic instruction and a read instruction included in the program, and the storage area of the RAM 41c designated by the value (address) of the predetermined register. It is possible to update the value (data) stored in.

Further, among the registers included in the main control unit 41, the flag register is configured so that its state changes so as to indicate the calculation result of the instruction executed by the CPU 41a, and the change in the state of the flag register is used. Therefore, the CPU 41a can be made to perform processing according to the calculation result of the previous instruction.

Further, the flag register is composed of a plurality of bits (8 bits in this embodiment), and the plurality of bits are used as the calculation result of the calculation instruction executed by the CPU 41a in order to reduce the processing load of the CPU 41a. The first bit (hereinafter, may be referred to as a zero flag) and the second bit (hereinafter, may be referred to as a carry flag), which are configured so that the state can be changed according to the situation, are included.

Further, the main control unit 41 includes a serial communication circuit 41d capable of performing serial communication with an externally provided test device.

Further, the main control unit 41 transmits various commands to the sub control unit 91. The command transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the sub control unit 91 is sent in only one direction, and the command is not sent from the sub control unit 91 to the main control unit 41.

The effect control board 90 is connected to the above-mentioned liquid crystal display 51, a speaker capable of outputting sound, and an effect device such as an effect LED 57 used for the effect and visible from the player side. The state can be controlled by the sub control unit 91 mounted on the effect control board 90. The sub control unit 91 receives a command transmitted from the main control unit 41 and performs various controls for performing the effect.

The main control unit 41 executes a basic process (main process) that performs processing stepwise according to a control state, and interrupts the basic process at regular time intervals (about 0.56 ms in this embodiment) to interrupt a timer. Execute interrupt processing. In the timer interrupt process, the detection status of various switches and sensors and the passage of time are updated, and in the basic process, the process according to the current control state is repeatedly looped until the condition corresponding to the control state is satisfied. By satisfying the conditions according to the control state based on the detection state of various switches and sensors updated in the timer interrupt process and the passage of time, the process shifts to the next control state.

The slot machine 1 of this embodiment has a configuration in which the medal payout rate changes according to the set value. Specifically, the medal payout rate is changed by using the winning probability according to the set value in the lottery that affects the advantage to the player such as the internal lottery and the AT lottery. The set value is composed of 6 stages from 1 to 6, with 6 having the highest payout rate, and the smaller the value in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 the lower the payout rate. That is, when 6 is set as the set value, the advantage is highest for the player, and the smaller the value in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 is, the lower the advantage is.

In order to change the set value, it is necessary to turn on the power switch 39 of the slot machine 1 after turning on the setting key switch 37. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on and the power is turned on, the setting value read from the RAM 41c is displayed as a display value on the setting value display 24, and the setting value can be changed by operating the reset / setting switch 38. Move to the setting change state. When the reset / setting switch 38 is operated in the setting change state, the display value displayed on the setting value display 24 is updated by 1 (when the setting value 6 is further operated, the setting value is changed to 1). Return). Then, when the start switch 7 is operated, the display value is fixed as the set value. Then, when the setting key switch 37 is turned off, the confirmed display value (set value) is stored in the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41, and the game shifts to a state in which the game can proceed.

The setting key switch 37 and the reset / setting switch 38 are provided inside the slot machine 1 and cannot be operated unless the front door 1b, which can be opened by a predetermined key operation, is opened. Of the clerk of the game store to be installed, only the clerk who has a predetermined key can operate it. In particular, since the setting key switch 37 requires further key operation, only the clerk who has the key for operating the setting key switch 37 can operate the setting key switch 37 among the clerk of the game store. Further, the reset switch 23 does not need to open the front door 1b, but requires a key operation using a predetermined key, so that only a clerk who possesses the predetermined key can operate the reset switch 23. Further, the reset / setting switch 38 also functions as a reset switch for canceling the error state in the normal state.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 performs a power failure determination process for periodically determining whether or not a voltage drop is detected in the timer interrupt process, and detects the voltage drop in the power failure determination process. When it is determined that the data has been set, the power failure process (main) for setting the data for determining whether or not the data in the RAM 41c is normal is executed at the next return.

Then, the main control unit 41 returns the processing state of the main control unit 41 to the state before the power failure based on the data stored in the RAM 41c, provided that the data in the RAM 41c is normal at the time of its activation. It is possible. On the other hand, if the data in the RAM 41c is not normal at the time of startup, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal, an error flag indicating the RAM abnormality is set in the RAM 41c, and the RAM error error state is controlled so that the progress of the game is disabled. It has become. The RAM abnormality error state shifts to the setting change state, is canceled by setting a new set value, and the game can proceed.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when an abnormality is detected according to the progress of the game, the main control unit 41 sets an error flag indicating the type of the detected abnormality in the RAM 41c and controls the RAM 41c to a general error state. However, it is designed to disable the progress of the game. The general error state is canceled by the reset operation by the reset switch 23 or the reset / setting switch 38, and the game can proceed. In the following, when it is not necessary to distinguish between the RAM error state and the general error state, it is simply referred to as an error state.

When playing a game in the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, first, a medal is inserted from the medal insertion unit 4, or a MAXBET switch 6 is operated to set a bet number using credits. When a predetermined number of bets is set according to the game state, a predetermined winning line LN (see FIG. 1, in this embodiment, the middle stage of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, that is, the middle stage is horizontal. (Set across the symbols lined up in) is valid, and the operation of the start switch 7 is valid, that is, the game can be started. If more than the maximum number of medals are inserted out of the specified number corresponding to the gaming state, that amount will be added to the credit. Further, in this embodiment, only one winning line is applied, but a plurality of winning lines may be applied.

Further, in this embodiment, in order to make it easy to recognize that the winning line LN has a combination of symbols constituting the winning, the invalid lines LM1 to 6 are set separately from the winning line LN. The invalid lines LM1 to 6 are not determined to win by the combination of the symbols aligned with the invalid lines LM1 to 6, but when the combinations of the symbols constituting the winning are aligned with the winning line LN, the invalid lines LM1 to LM1 to 6 are aligned. By configuring the combination of suggestive symbols (for example, bell a-bell a-bell a) that suggests winning in any of 6 to be aligned, it is recognized that the combination of symbols constituting the winning is aligned in the winning line LN. It makes it easier to do. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the upper stages of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, that is, the lower stages of the invalid lines LM1, reels 2L, 2C, and 2R set across the symbols arranged horizontally in the upper stage. That is, the invalid line LM2 set across the symbols arranged horizontally in the lower row, the upper row of the reel 2L, the middle row of the reel 2C, the lower row of the reel 2R, that is, the invalid line set across the symbols arranged downward to the right. LM3, lower reel 2L, middle reel 2C, upper reel 2R, that is, invalid line LM4 set across the symbols lined up to the right, upper reel 2L, middle reel 2C, upper reel 2R, that is. Invalid line LM5 set across the symbols arranged in a small V shape, the lower stage of the reel 2L, the middle stage of the reel 2C, the lower stage of the reel 2R, that is, the invalid line LM6 set across the symbols arranged in a small mountain shape. Six types are defined as invalid lines.

When the start switch 7 is operated while the game can be started, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are rotated, and the symbols of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are continuously changed. When any of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is operated while the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are being rotated, stop control is performed for the corresponding reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, and the rotation of the reel is rotated. It is stopped, and the design of the reel is derived and displayed on the perspective window 3 as a display result.

In the stop control, the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R corresponding to the operation is stopped within the maximum stop delay time (190 ms (milliseconds) in this embodiment) from the time when the operation is performed for each stop switch. Is performed, and until the maximum stop delay time (190 ms) elapses, a maximum of four frames of symbols can be drawn in. That is, in the stop control, one symbol from the symbol displayed when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated and the symbol up to 4 frames ahead from that, for a total of 5 frames (pull-in range). Can be selected and led to the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R.

As a result, in the stop control, when the rotation is stopped by operating the corresponding stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R for each reel 2L, 2C, 2R, the winning combination won in the internal lottery described later is selected. If the constituent symbols are within the pull-in range of up to 4 frames ahead of the symbol when the stop switch is operated, the symbol is pulled onto the winning line LN to rotate the reel on which the stop switch is operated. On the other hand, if the symbols that make up the winning combination that has been won in the internal lottery are not within the draw-in range, the symbols that make up the winning combination that has not been won in the internal lottery will be the winning line LN. It is possible to pull a symbol that does not constitute any winning combination onto the winning line LN so as not to stop upward, and control the stop switch to stop the rotation of the operated reel.

Further, in the stop control, when the winning of the special role (BB in this embodiment) accompanied by the transition of the gaming state is carried over, the small role accompanied by the awarding of the medal is won in the internal lottery, and the special role is won. When the winning small winning combination is winning at the same time, the constituent symbols of the winning small winning combination are controlled to be preferentially drawn into the winning line LN within the above-mentioned attraction range, and the winning small winning combination When the constituent symbols cannot be drawn into the winning line LN, the constituent symbols of the winning special combination are controlled to be drawn into the winning line LN. For this reason, in a game in which a special role and a small role are simultaneously won, it is difficult to win the winning special role.

Further, in the stop control, when the winning of the special role (BB in this embodiment) is carried over, the re-game combination accompanied by the grant of the re-game is won by the internal lottery, and the special role and the re-game combination are won. When the players are winning at the same time, the constituent symbols of the winning re-games are prioritized and drawn into the winning line LN. The symbols that make up the re-game combination on each reel 2L, 2C, and 2R are arranged within a predetermined pull-in range, and when the re-game combination is won, the symbols that make up the re-game combination are always drawn into the winning line LN. Become. For this reason, in a game in which a special role and a replaying role are won at the same time, the winning special role cannot be won.

Then, one game ends when all reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped, and a predetermined combination of winning combination symbols is stopped on the winning line LN as a display result on each reel 2L, 2C, and 2R. When a prize is generated, control is performed according to the prize. When a small winning combination is won, a predetermined number of medals according to the type are given to the player and added to the credit. Further, when the maximum number of credits (50 in this embodiment) is reached, the medals are directly paid out from the medal payout outlet 9 (see FIG. 1). In addition, when a re-game combination is won, a re-game that allows the game to be played without inserting a medal is given. In addition, when a special role is won, the gaming state is shifted to the special gaming state.

In this embodiment, the game starts when the operation of the start switch 7 is detected while the operation of the start switch 7 is valid, and the game ends when all the reels are stopped. In addition, one unit of control for executing the game (game control) starts when all the controls associated with the end of the previous game are completed, and when all the controls associated with the end of the game are completed. finish.

In the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, the type of winning combination (hereinafter referred to as winning combination) is determined according to the game state, and it is not necessary to set a small winning combination with medal payout and a bet number. There are a re-game role in which a re-game that enables the start of the next game is given, and a special role that accompanies a transition to a special game state. In the following, the small role and the replaying role will be collectively referred to as the general role. In order for each winning combination determined according to the game state to be won, it is necessary to win the internal lottery and set the winning flag of the winning combination. In the internal lottery, before the display results of all reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are derived, whether or not the main control unit 41 allows the winning of each of the above-mentioned winning combinations (specifically, the specified number). When the operation of the start switch 7 is detected while the bet number is set), it is determined by using a random number.

Of the winning flags for each combination, the winning flags for the small combination and the replaying combination are valid only in the game in which the flag is set, and are invalid in the next game, but the winning flag for the special combination is the relevant. It is valid until all the allowed combinations of combinations are available by the flag, and is invalid in the game where all the allowed combination of combinations are available. That is, once the winning flag of the special role is won, even if the combination of the winning combination permitted by the flag cannot be aligned, the winning flag is not invalidated and is carried over to the next game. It has become.

Further, in the internal lottery, when the stop operation is performed in a predetermined operation mode (for example, push order, operation timing), it is more advantageous than when the stop operation is performed in another operation mode. , The re-game role (hereinafter, may be referred to as the navigation target role) can be won. The navigation target combination includes, for example, a combination that is more advantageous than the stop mode in which the stop operation is performed in a predetermined operation mode and the stop operation is performed in another operation mode. Includes a combination in which, when the stop operation is performed in a predetermined operation mode, the rate of stopping the advantageous stop mode is higher than that in the case where the stop operation is performed in another operation mode. Further, the advantageous stop mode includes not only a stop mode accompanied by the awarding of medals, but also a stop mode accompanied by a transition to an advantageous gaming state, a stop mode in which a transition to an unfavorable gaming state is avoided, and the like.

The main control unit 41 executes a navigation notification that notifies the navigation number capable of specifying the operation mode of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, which is advantageous for the player according to the internal lottery result, by the lighting mode of the game auxiliary display 12. It is possible to control the assist time (AT) state, which is a possible notification period. The main control unit 41 starts controlling the AT state by granting the player the right to be controlled to the AT state. Then, when the AT state is controlled, by winning the navigation target combination, the navigation notification is executed, and the operation modes of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R which are advantageous for the player (for example, the pressing order). , Operation timing, etc.) using the game auxiliary display 12, and by transmitting a command that can specify an operation mode that is advantageous to the player to the sub-control unit 91, the operation mode is displayed on the liquid crystal display. The navigation effect of notifying is executed by using the device 51 or the like. By operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R in the operation mode notified by the navigation notification and the navigation effect, the navigation target winning combination won in the internal lottery can be reliably won.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 includes a game auxiliary display 12 capable of displaying the number of medals paid out, an error code, and navigation information, and the game auxiliary display 12 is used in controlling the navigation notification. Although the configuration is such that the navigation information is notified, a dedicated display capable of displaying only the navigation information may be provided, and the navigation information may be notified using the dedicated display in the control of the navigation notification.

[About game status]
As shown in FIG. 4, the main control unit 41 can control the game state to either a normal game state or a special game state. The normal gaming state includes a normal gaming state in which the winning of the BB is not carried over (inside inside) and a normal gaming state in which the winning of the BB is carried over (inside inside).

The normal game state (non-internal) is a state in which the BB is not won in the normal game state. This is a gaming state in which the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 is controlled by setting a new set value by shifting to the factory default state of the slot machine 1 or the setting change state. In addition, even when the special gaming state is terminated, it is controlled to the normal gaming state (non-internal). Then, the normal game state (non-internal middle) continues until the BB is won in the internal lottery, and shifts to the normal game state (internal middle) without the BB winning in the game in which the BB is won in the internal lottery. Alternatively, the game ends when the BB wins a prize in the game in which the BB wins in the internal lottery and shifts to the special game state.

The normal game state (inside) is a state in which the BB is carried over in the normal game state. In this embodiment, when the special role and the small role are won at the same time, the control is performed so that the small role is prioritized, and when the special role and the re-game combination are won at the same time, the re-game combination is performed. By performing control that always aligns the two, the BB is prevented from winning even if the small winning combination is won or the re-gaming combination is won in the normal gaming state (inside the inside). Then, in the normal game state (inside), one of the small wins or one of the re-games is always won, so once the normal game state (inside) is entered, the BB does not win and the normal game state (inside). After the transition to the internal) state, the normal gaming state (internal) is maintained until the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 is initialized by newly setting the set value by shifting to the setting change state. It is supposed to be done.

The special gaming state shifts when the BB wins in the game in which the BB wins in the normal gaming state (non-internal), and the winning probability of a small winning combination is RB (smaller winning probability than the normal gaming state) over the entire period in the special gaming state. It is a game state controlled by (a game state in which the number of medals increases), and continues until a predetermined end condition is satisfied (in this embodiment, the total number of medals paid out in the special game state exceeds 50), and the predetermined end. It ends when the condition is satisfied and the game shifts to the normal game state (non-internal).

As described above, in this embodiment, since most of the games are controlled to the normal game state (inside), it is assumed that the game is controlled to the normal game state (inside), and the set value (this implementation). In the example, the medal payout rate is designed according to 1 to 6).

[About the target role of the internal lottery]
As shown in FIG. 5, in the present embodiment, in the normal gaming state (non-internal), normal replay A, normal replay B, normal replay C, weak chance replay A, weak chance replay B, strong chance replay A, Strong chance replay B, specific small win A + 1, specific small win B + 1, 1, navigation small win, 3 cards, BB, BB + 3 cards are subject to the internal lottery. In the normal game state (non-internal), normal replay A, normal replay B, normal replay C, weak chance replay A, weak chance replay B, strong chance replay A, strong chance replay B, specific small role A + 1, specific small The winning probabilities of the combination B + 1 sheet, 1 sheet, navigation small role, 3 sheets, BB, BB + 3 sheets are about 1 / 9.9, about 1/65, about 1/16384, about 1/137, and about 1/101, respectively. , About 1/524, about 1/655, about 1/49, about 1/49, about 1/49, about 1 / 1.37, about 1/3449, about 1/16384, about 1/14.6 It is set, and the probability of unwinning (missing) is 0.

Also, in the normal game state (inside), normal replay A, normal replay B, normal replay C, weak chance replay A, weak chance replay B, strong chance replay A, strong chance replay B, specific small role A + 1 piece, Specified small winning combination B + 1 sheet, 1 sheet, navigation small winning combination, 3 sheets are subject to the internal lottery. In the normal game state (inside), normal replay A, normal replay B, normal replay C, weak chance replay A, weak chance replay B, strong chance replay A, strong chance replay B, specific small role A + 1, specific small role The winning probabilities of B + 1 sheet, 1 sheet, Navi small role, and 3 sheets are about 1 / 9.9, about 1/65, about 1/8192, about 1/137, about 1/101, about 1/524, respectively. It is set to about 1/655, about 1/49, about 1/49, about 1/49, about 1 / 1.37, and about 1 / 14.5, and the probability of unwinning (missing) is 0. ..

Further, in the special gaming state (RB), the compound small winning combination A and the compound small winning combination B are subject to the internal lottery. In the special gaming state (RB), the winning probabilities of the compound small winning combination A and the compound small winning combination B are set to about 1/33 and about 1 / 1.2, respectively, and the probability of non-winning (missing) is about. It becomes 1 / 7.3.

When the normal replay A is won, the normal replay A always wins regardless of the stop operation order and the stop operation timing. When the normal replay B is won, the normal replay B always wins regardless of the stop operation order and the stop operation timing. When the normal replay C is won, the normal replay C always wins regardless of the stop operation order and the stop operation timing.

When the weak chance replay A is won, the weak chance replay A always wins regardless of the stop operation order and the stop operation timing. When the weak chance replay B is won, the weak chance replay B always wins regardless of the stop operation order and the stop operation timing. When the strong chance replay A is won, the strong chance replay A always wins regardless of the stop operation order and the stop operation timing. When the strong chance replay B is won, the strong chance replay B always wins regardless of the stop operation order and the stop operation timing.

When a normal replay A, a normal replay B, a normal replay C, a weak chance replay A, a weak chance replay B, a strong chance replay A, or a strong chance replay B is won, a replay is given.

The specific small winning combination A + 1 is a winning combination with the specific small winning combination A, and when the specific small winning combination A + 1 is won, the left reel is stopped at the stop operation timing that is the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of the specific small winning combination A. When the operation is performed, the specific small winning combination A with the payout of 15 medals wins a prize regardless of the order of the stopping operation, while the left reel is at the stop operation timing outside the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of the specific small winning combination A. When the stop operation of is performed, one medal with the payout of one medal wins a prize regardless of the order of the stop operation.

The specific small winning combination B + 1 is a winning combination with the specific small winning combination B, and when the specific small winning combination B + 1 is won, the left reel is stopped at the stop operation timing that is the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of the specific small winning combination B. When the operation is performed, the specific small winning combination B with the payout of 15 medals wins regardless of the order of the stopping operation, while the left reel is at the stop operation timing outside the pull-in range of the constituent symbols of the specific small winning combination B. When the stop operation of is performed, one medal with the payout of one medal wins a prize regardless of the order of the stop operation.

When one medal is won, one medal with the payout of one medal is always won regardless of the stop operation order and the stop operation timing. As described above, when the specific small winning combination A + 1 is won and the left reel is stopped at the stop operation timing outside the pull-in range of the constituent symbol of the specific small winning combination A, or when the specific small winning combination B + 1 is won. , Even if the left reel is stopped at a stop operation timing that is outside the pull-in range of the configuration symbol of the specific small winning combination B, one piece will win regardless of the stopping operation order. If one reel wins as a result of performing the stop operation of the left reel at the stop operation timing that is outside the pull-in range of the constituent symbol of A and the stop operation timing that is outside the pull-in range of the constituent symbol of the specific small winning combination B, It is not possible to determine whether the specific small winning combination A + 1 and the specific small winning combination B + 1 are winning or one is winning.

The navigation small role is a combination in which a plurality of small roles (main small role and sub-small role in this embodiment) are elected, and corresponds to each navigation small role in the stop operation order corresponding to each navigation small role. When the first stop reel (first stop reel) is stopped at the stop operation timing, the main and small winning combination with the payout of 15 medals wins, while the stop operation is not in the corresponding stop operation order. When the stop operation is performed in order, or when the stop operation of the first stop reel is performed at a stop operation timing other than the corresponding stop operation timing, one medal is paid out according to the stop operation timing. The deputy small role will win, or none of the roles will win. That is, the expected value of the number of medals given changes due to the difference in the stop operation order and the stop operation timing of the first stop reel, and the stop operation order and the stop operation timing corresponding to the winning navigation small winning combination are determined by the navigation notification. The expected value of the number of medals given by being notified changes.

When 3 medals are won, 3 medals will always be paid out regardless of the stop operation order and stop operation timing.

When the BB is won, if the stop operation is performed at the stop operation timing that is within the pull-in range of the BB configuration symbol (in this embodiment, the combination of "white 7-plum-plum") on all reels, the BB will be If a prize is won and the game state shifts to the special game state, but if the stop operation is performed at the stop operation timing that is outside the pull-in range of the BB constituent symbols on any of the reels, none of the winning combinations will be won. , BB winning is carried over to the next game or later, and the game shifts to the normal game state (internal).

BB + 3 cards are the winning roles of BB and 3 cards, and when BB + 3 cards are won, 3 cards with the payout of 3 medals are always won regardless of the stop operation order and stop operation timing, and the BB is won. Will be carried over to the next game or later, and will shift to the normal game state (inside).

The compound small winning combination A is a combination in which all the main small winning combinations, the specific small winning combination A, and the specific small winning combination B are elected, and when the compound small winning combination A is won, the stop operation order and the stop operation timing are set. Regardless, a specific main and small role with the payout of 15 medals will always win.

The compound small winning combination B is a combination in which all the sub-small winning combinations that make up the navigation small winning combination and one and three medals are won. When the compound small winning combination B is won, it must be stopped regardless of the stop operation order or the stop operation timing. One medal with the payout of one medal wins.

The lottery targets (including unwinned) of the internal lottery are unwinned, normal replay A, normal replay B, normal replay C, weak chance replay A, weak chance replay B, strong chance replay A, strong chance replay B, specific Winning numbers from 0 to 39 are assigned in the order of small win A + 1, specific small win B + 1, 1, navigation small win 3, BB, BB + 3, composite small win A, and composite small win B. , The winning number corresponding to the lottery result of the internal lottery is set in the RAM 41c. In addition, the lottery targets (including unwinning) of the internal lottery include the corresponding 0 to 4 advantageous section transition flags, 0 to 3 lottery flags 1, 0 to 3 lottery flags 2, 0 to 4, respectively. The lottery flag 3 is assigned, and the advantageous section transition flag and the lottery flags 1 to 3 according to the result of the internal lottery (winning number) are set in the RAM 41c. The advantageous section transition flag is referred to when determining whether or not to shift to the advantageous section. Further, the lottery flags 1 to 3 are referred to when determining whether or not to perform a lottery related to the AT state and when performing a lottery related to the AT state.

The advantageous section transition flag is assigned 0 to lottery targets other than the advantageous section transition combination, and the advantageous section transition combination is advantageous, for example, a plurality of types of push order combinations, a plurality of lottery targets with close winning probabilities, and the like. A common value is assigned to the lottery targets having common attributes that do not need to be distinguished when the lottery performed at the time of section transition is performed. Therefore, when determining whether or not to shift to the advantageous section, the main control unit 41 does not need to individually specify whether or not it is an advantageous section transition combination from each winning number, and is used for the advantageous section transition. Whether or not it is an advantageous section transition combination can be specified by whether or not the flag is 0. In addition, when specifying the probability according to the winning number in the lottery performed at the time of the advantageous section transition, instead of specifying the probability from each winning number, the probability according to the winning number is calculated from the value of the advantageous section transition flag. It is designed to be specified, and it is not necessary to set the probability for each winning number, and by setting the probability for each advantageous section transition flag, which is smaller than the number of types of winning numbers, the probability according to the attribute of the lottery target. Can be identified.

As for the lottery flag, 0 is assigned to the lottery target that is not the target of the lottery related to the AT status, and for the lottery target that is the target of the lottery related to the granting of AT, for example, a plurality of types of navigation small wins A common value is assigned to a lottery target having a common attribute that does not need to be distinguished when a lottery related to the AT state is performed. Therefore, when the main control unit 41 performs a lottery related to the AT state, it is not necessary to individually specify whether or not to perform the lottery from each winning number, depending on whether or not the lottery flag is 0. It is possible to specify whether or not to perform a lottery related to the AT state. In addition, when specifying the probability according to the winning number in the lottery related to the AT state, the probability according to the winning number should be specified from the value of the lottery flag instead of specifying the probability from each winning number. It is not necessary to determine the probability for each winning number, and by determining the probability for each lottery flag that is smaller than the number of types of winning numbers, it is possible to specify the probability according to the attribute of the lottery target. it can. Further, the lottery flags are the lottery targets that are not subject to the lottery related to the AT state, and the lottery flags 1 to which have different lottery targets having common attributes that do not need to be distinguished when performing the lottery related to the AT state. By using any of the lottery flags 1 to 3 according to the type of lottery related to the AT state, the lottery related to the AT state is excluded from the lottery according to the type of lottery related to the AT state. The lottery targets can be different, and the probabilities of the lottery targets having common attributes that do not need to be distinguished when performing a lottery related to the AT state can be different probabilities.

[About the winning probability of the small winning combination of the navigation small winning combination, the specific small winning combination, and the compound small winning combination]
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, in the normal gaming state (non-internal middle / internal middle), the winning probability of the red left middle bell A that the upper bell A wins and the red left middle bell that the upper bell B wins. B winning probability, right-down bell A winning red left and right bell A winning probability, small V bell A winning red left and right bell B winning probability, middle bell A winning red middle left bell A winning probability, Koyama Bell A wins red middle left bell B winning probability, right rising bell A wins red middle right bell A winning probability, right rising bell B wins red middle right bell B winning probability, right rising bell C wins red right left bell A winning probability, Koyama bell B wins red right left bell B winning probability, middle bell B wins red right middle bell A winning probability, lower bell A wins red right middle Winning probability of bell B, winning probability of white left middle bell A won by upper bell C, winning probability of white left middle bell B won by upper bell D, winning probability of white left and right bell A won by falling right bell B , Small V bell B wins white left and right bell B winning probability, middle bell C wins white middle left bell A winning probability, Koyama bell C wins white middle left bell B winning probability, right rising bell D The winning probability of the white middle right bell A that wins, the winning probability of the white middle right bell B that the right rising bell E wins, the winning probability of the white right left bell A that the right rising bell F wins, the white that Koyama bell D wins The winning probability of the right and left bell B, the winning probability of the white right middle bell A won by the middle bell D, and the winning probability of the white right middle bell B won by the lower bell B are all 2000/65536, and the specific small role A The winning probability of the specific small winning combination A + 1 winning the winning and the winning probability of the specific small winning combination B + 1 winning the specific small winning combination B are both 1345/65536.

In addition, in the special game state (RB), all the main and small roles, that is, the upper bells A to D, the middle bells A to D, the lower bells A and B, the right-down bells A and B, the right-up bells A to F, and Koyama The winning probability of the compound small winning combination 1 in which the bells A to D, the small V bells A and B, and the specific small winning combination A and B are won is 2001/65536, and the normal gaming state (non-internal medium / internal medium). It is set higher than the winning probability (2000/65536) of each of the main and small roles in.

In addition, the probability of winning the main and small roles in the special game state (RB) (2001/65536) is higher than the probability of winning one of the main and small roles in the normal game state (non-internal middle and internal middle) (48000/65536). ) Is set lower. That is, the winning probability of each of the main and small winning combinations in the normal gaming state (non-internal middle and internal middle) is set lower than the winning probability of the main and small winning combination in the special gaming state (RB), but the normal gaming state (non-internal). The probability that the main and small roles will be won in the special gaming state (RB) is set lower than the probability that any of the main and small roles will be won in the middle and internal).

From this, for example, if there is only one type of main and small winning combination in the navigation small winning combination corresponding to the same operation mode, the winning probability of each of the main and small winning combination in the normal gaming state (non-internal middle and internal middle) is high. Therefore, if the winning probability of the main and small winning combination in the special gaming state (RB) is set higher than that, the winning probability of the main and small winning combination in the special gaming state (RB) will be relatively high. In the embodiment, in the configuration in which the winning probability of the main and small winning combination in the special gaming state (RB) is set higher than the winning probability of each of the main and small winning combination in the normal gaming state (non-internal middle and internal middle), the same operation mode is used. By setting each of the main and small roles to be won in the corresponding navigation small roles to multiple types (two types in this embodiment), the winning probability of each of the main and small roles in the normal gaming state (non-internal middle and internal middle) is reduced. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the winning probability of the main and small roles in the special gaming state (RB).

In addition, the probabilities that the specific small wins A and B are won in the normal game state (non-internal middle / internal middle) are 1345/65536, respectively, and each of the main small wins in the normal game state (non-internal middle / internal middle) It is set lower than the winning probability (2000/65536). Therefore, if the operation mode is such that the stop operation timing of the left reel is in the white 7 area, the winning probability of the specific small winning combination A and B that can surely obtain 15 medals does not increase excessively.

In addition, the winning probability of the compound small winning combination 1 in which all the main small winning combinations and the specific small winning combinations A and B are won in the special gaming state (RB) is 2001/65536, and the normal gaming state (non-internal middle / It is higher than the winning probability (2000/65536) of each of the main and small roles in (internal middle), and higher than the winning probability of each of the specific small roles A and B (1345/65536) in the normal gaming state (non-internal middle / internal middle). It has been set.

In addition, the main small role in the special game state (RB) is more than the probability (50690/65536) that either the main small role or the specific small role A or B is won in the normal game state (non-internal middle / internal middle). The winning probability (2001/65536) and the winning probability (2001/65536) of the specific small wins A and B in the special gaming state (RB) are set lower. That is, the winning probabilities of the main small winning combination and the specific small winning combination A and B in the normal gaming state (non-internal middle / internal middle) are the probabilities that the main small winning combination and the specific small winning combination A and B are won in the special gaming state (RB). Although it is set lower than, the main small in the special game state (RB) is higher than the probability that any of the main small wins, the specific small wins A and B will be won in the normal game state (non-internal middle / internal middle). The probability that the winning combination, the specific small winning combination A, and B will be won is set low.

In addition, when there is only one type of specific small winning combination, the probability of winning the specific small winning combination in the normal gaming state (non-internal middle / internal medium) becomes higher, and the specific small winning combination in the special gaming state (RB) becomes higher. If the winning probability of the main small winning combination is set high, the winning probability of the specific small winning combination or the main small winning combination in the special gaming state (RB) becomes relatively high. In a configuration in which the winning probability of the specific small winning combination and the main small winning combination in the special gaming state (RB) is set higher than the winning probability of the specific small winning combination in the non-internal middle / internal middle), a plurality of types of the specific small winning combination (this implementation). By setting (2 types in the example), the individual winning probabilities of the specific small wins A and B decrease in the normal game state (non-internal middle / internal middle), so the specific small win A in the special game state (RB) is correspondingly reduced. , B and the winning probability of the main and small roles can be reduced.

Then, it is determined whether or not the navigation number set in the A register is 0 (Sb5), and if the navigation number is not 0, that is, if the navigation number is 1 or more and the navigation notification is performed, Sb7 If the navigation number is 0, that is, if the navigation notification is not performed, the winning number set in the RAM 41c is acquired and the winning number is used as an argument (a value of 14 or more according to the winning number). By converting to and setting in the A register, the value of the A register is updated (Sb6), and the process proceeds to Sb7.

In Sb7, the value set in the A register in Sb4 or Sb6 is used as an argument, and the reel stop order is acquired from the reel number signal table in which the recommended stop order corresponding to the navigation number or the winning number is determined. The first stop reel, the second stop reel, and the third stop reel are set in the RAM 41c based on the stop order of the reels. Therefore, when the navigation notification is performed, the first stop reel, the second stop reel, and the third stop reel are set based on the stop order of the reels according to the navigation number, and when the navigation notification is not performed, the navigation notification is not performed. , The first stop reel, the second stop reel, and the third stop reel are set based on the winning number, that is, the stop order of the reels according to the result of the internal lottery.

Next, with the value set in the A register as an argument, the stop execution symbol number of each reel is acquired from the stop execution symbol number table in which the stop operation position of each reel recommended corresponding to the navigation number or the winning number is determined. , The stop execution symbol number of the first stop reel, the second stop reel, and the third stop reel is set in the RAM 41c (Sb8). Therefore, when the navigation notification is performed, the stop execution symbol numbers of the first stop reel, the second stop reel, and the third stop reel are set according to the navigation number, and when the navigation notification is not performed, the navigation notification is not performed. The winning number, that is, the stop execution symbol number of the first stop reel, the second stop reel, and the third stop reel is set according to the result of the internal lottery.

Next, the stop execution symbol numbers of the first stop reel, the second stop reel, and the third stop reel are converted into the number of steps from the reference position of the reel motor that rotates the reel, and the converted number of steps is converted into the first stop reel. , The RAM 41c is set as the number of stop execution steps of the second stop reel and the third stop reel (Sb9).

Next, after transferring 00 (H) indicating the start of output of the operation signal to the transmission register of the serial communication circuit 41d (Sb10), the first stop reel, the second stop reel, and the third stop reel set in Sb7 are acquired. , The first stop reel (D1), the second stop reel (D2), and the third stop reel (D3) are transferred to the transmission register of the serial communication circuit 41d in this order (Sb11 to Sb13).

Next, the number of stop execution steps of the first stop reel, the second stop reel, and the third stop reel set in the RAM 41c in Sb9 is acquired, the number of stop execution steps of the first stop reel (D4), and the stop of the second stop reel are stopped. The number of execution steps (D5) and the number of stop execution steps of the third stop reel (D6) are transferred to the transmission register of the serial communication circuit 41d (Sb14 to Sb16).

Finally, after transferring 00 (H) indicating the end of output of the operation signal to the transmission register of the serial communication circuit 41d (Sb17), the register saved in the stack in Sb1 is restored (Sb18), and then the main processing is restored.

In this way, in the operation signal setting process, it is determined whether or not the navigation notification is performed depending on whether or not the navigation number set in the game is 0, and when the navigation number is 1 or more, that is, when the navigation notification is performed. Specify the recommended stop order and stop execution symbol number according to the navigation number, and when the navigation number is 0, that is, when the navigation notification is not performed, the winning number, that is, the result of the internal lottery The recommended stop order and stop execution symbol number are specified.

Then, based on the stop order and the stop execution symbol number specified according to the navigation number or the winning number, 00 (H) indicating the start of the operation signal, the first stop reel (D1), the second stop reel (D2), and the first 3 Stop reel (D3), number of stop execution steps of the first stop reel (D4), number of stop execution steps of the second stop reel (D5), number of stop execution steps of the third stop reel (D6), end of operation signal By transferring to the transmission register of the serial communication circuit 41d in the order of 00 (H), as shown in FIG. 12, the serial communication circuit 41d performs 00 (H) and D1 at regular time intervals (t). , D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, 00 (H), it is possible to output the operation signal to the test device, and the stop order and stop operation timing recommended in the game on the test device side are It becomes identifiable.

[About reel stop processing]
Next, the control content of the reel stop processing performed by the main control unit 41 in the main processing will be described with reference to FIG.

In the reel stop processing, first, a stop control table setting process is executed (Sc1), and for all reels, a stop control table capable of specifying the number of slip frames for each timing at which the stop operation is performed is set in the RAM 41c. As a result, the stop control table for each reel is set during the acceleration control of each reel by the timer interrupt processing.

After executing the stop control table setting process, the timer interrupt wait process is executed (Sc2). In the timer interrupt waiting process, the timer interrupt is set to allow and waits until the timer interrupt process is performed once.

After the timer interrupt waiting process is completed, a rotation abnormality determination process for determining whether or not a reel rotation abnormality has occurred is executed (Sc3). In the rotation abnormality determination process, the reel step number counter (for each reel, counts the number of steps from the reel reference position at the time of timer interrupt), which is updated in the timer interrupt process and counts the number of steps from the reel reference position. In this embodiment, 0 to 400 steps can be counted, which is set to a value larger than the 336 steps required for the reel to make one revolution.) Based on the value of and whether or not the rotation abnormality flag is set in the process, it is determined whether or not an abnormality related to rotation has occurred in the reel under rotation control. Then, among the reels under rotation control for which the stop operation has not been completed, the number of reel steps since the start of rotation or the previous reel reference position was detected without detecting the reel reference position exceeds the predetermined number of steps. In some cases, when the reel reference position is detected by the reel sensor, the value of the reel step count counter does not reach the number of steps required for the reel to make one revolution, or the reel rotation is abnormal (hereinafter, rotation). If it is determined that an error has occurred and it is determined that an abnormality has occurred, a rotation abnormality flag that can identify the reel in which the abnormality has occurred is set in the RAM 41c.

After the rotation abnormality determination process is completed, it is determined whether or not the reel rotation abnormality is detected (Sc4), and if it is determined that the rotation abnormality is detected, the reel stop operation during rotation control is invalidated. Set (Sc5) and execute error processing (Sc6). In the error processing, the rotation error flag is set in the error flag setting area provided in the RAM 41c so that the rotation of all the reels under the rotation control can be stopped and the reel whose rotation has been stopped by the error processing can be identified. At the same time, it controls and waits in an error state that disables the game so that it does not proceed. After that, when the error state is released by the reset operation, the error processing is terminated, and the reel reacceleration processing is executed for the reel that was under rotation control when the error processing is executed (Sc7). By clearing the excitation pattern of the reel motor once, setting a new pattern at the time of starting the reel and exciting the reel motor, the rotation control is performed again from the beginning and the rotation is accelerated again to the constant speed rotation.

If it is determined in the Sc4 step that no rotation abnormality is detected, interrupt prohibition is set (Sc8), and the reel speed status flag updated by the timer interrupt process and set in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c is acquired. Then (Sc9), based on the reel speed state flag, it is specified for each reel whether or not the rotation state of the reel under rotation control is the constant speed state, and all the reels under rotation control rotate at a constant speed. It is determined whether or not it is rotated by (Sc10). Then, in the step of Sc10, when it is determined that at least one of the reels is not rotating at a constant speed rotation and all the reels under rotation control are not rotating at a constant speed rotation, Sc2 Returning to the step of, the steps Sc2 to Sc10 are repeatedly executed, and the reels under rotation control are waited until they are rotated at a constant speed. The reel speed status flag is updated in the timer interrupt process, and it is possible to specify whether or not each reel motor under rotation control is rotating in a constant speed state at the time when the timer interrupt process is performed. Information.

On the other hand, in the step of Sc10, when it is determined that all the reels under rotation control that have not been stopped are rotated at a constant speed, the stop operation is accepted for all the reels that are undergoing rotation control. Is enabled, and among the output buffers of the effective LEDs in the RAM 41c, the output buffers of the stop effective LEDs corresponding to all the reels whose rotation is controlled are set to the lit state (Sc11). When the output buffer of the stop effective LED is set to the lit state, the process of turning on the stop effective LED is performed by the subsequent timer interrupt processing.

Then, after enabling the reception of the stop operation in the step of Sc11, the navigation number set in the navigation number setting area of the RAM 41c is acquired (Sc12), and it is determined whether or not the acquired navigation number is 0. (Sc13), if the navigation number is 0, the process proceeds to Sc15, and if the navigation number is not 0, that is, if the navigation number is 1 or more, the navigation number is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12. It is converted into display data, set in the output buffer of the game auxiliary display 12 in the RAM 41c (Sc14), and proceeds to Sc15. By setting the display data in the output buffer of the game auxiliary display 12, a process of displaying the display content based on the display data on the game auxiliary display 12 is performed by the subsequent timer interrupt processing.

In Sc15, it is determined whether or not an effective stop operation is detected for the reel under rotation control. In Sc15, when the port input data of the stop switch is in the same state in the timer interrupt processing of a predetermined number of times (twice in this embodiment), the input data of the current time and the previous time are set in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c. With reference to the history of confirmed data indicating that they are in the same state, some of the stop switches under rotation control have their confirmed data changed from the off state to the on state, and the output buffer of the stop effective LED is lit. When set to, it is determined that a valid stop operation has been detected for the stop switch that satisfies any of the conditions.

If it is determined in Sc15 that no effective stop operation has been detected, the process returns to the Sc2 step, the steps Sc2 to Sc15 are repeatedly executed, and the process waits until an effective stop operation is detected.

On the other hand, when a valid stop operation is detected in Sc15, interrupt operation-related process 1 is executed (Sc16) in the interrupt prohibition state set by the step of Sc8, and then interrupt operation is set (interrupt permission). Sc17), the stop operation related process 2 is executed (Sc18). In the stop operation-related process 1, a process of setting the output buffer of the stop enable LED corresponding to the stop switch on which the stop operation has been performed to the off state is performed. After that, the timer interrupt process is performed, so that the stop effective LED is turned off.

Then, after the stop operation-related process 2 of Sc18 is completed, the reel rotation stop process is executed (Sc19), and the setting for stopping the reel corresponding to the effective stop operation detected in the step of Sc15 is made. After that, it is determined whether or not there is an unstopped reel for which the stop operation has not been performed (Sc20), and if it is determined that there is an unstopped reel, the process returns to the Sc2 step for the remaining unstopped reels. The control of the steps Sc2 to Sc20 is executed.

On the other hand, if it is determined in Sc20 that there is no unstopped reel, that is, if the reel rotation stop processing based on the stop operation of the third stop reel is completed, whether or not the display data corresponding to the navigation number is set. Regardless of this, the output buffer of the game auxiliary display 12 is initialized (Sc21). When the navigation number is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12, it is hidden by the timer interrupt processing after that.

After initializing the output buffer of the game auxiliary display 12 in Sc21, a timer interrupt waiting process is performed (Sc22), and it is determined whether or not all reels have stopped (Sc23), and it is determined that all reels have stopped. In that case, it is further determined whether or not the stop switch of the third stop reel is in operation, it is determined in Sc23 that all reels have stopped, and in Sc24 it is determined that the stop switch of the third stop reel is not in operation. Until, the processes from Sc22 to Sc24 are repeated, all reels are stopped, and the operation of the stop switch of the third stop reel is released, so that the reel stop process is terminated and the process returns to the main process.

In this way, in the reel stop processing, it is determined whether or not all the reels under rotation control are rotating at a constant speed rotation, and when it is determined that all the reels under rotation control are rotating at a constant speed rotation. In addition, the process of determining whether or not a stop operation has been detected is repeated, and the reels stop when the stop operation is performed while all the reels under rotation control are rotating at a constant speed. It can be guaranteed that.

Further, when it is determined whether or not all the reels under rotation control are rotated at a constant speed rotation and it is determined that all the reels under rotation control are rotated at a constant speed rotation, the RAM 41c is set. If the acquired navigation number is 1 or more, the process of setting the display data for displaying the navigation number in the output buffer of the game auxiliary display 12 is repeatedly executed. .. As a result, when one or more navigation numbers are set, it is determined that all the reels under rotation control are rotating at a constant speed, and the display data for displaying the navigation number is displayed. It is set in the output buffer of the game auxiliary display 12, and the navigation number is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12. Further, even after the display data for displaying the navigation number is set in the output buffer of the game auxiliary display 12, every time it is determined that all the reels under rotation control are rotated at a constant speed, The display data for displaying the navigation number is repeatedly set in the output buffer of the game auxiliary display 12, after that, the stop operation of all reels is completed, and the output buffer of the game auxiliary display 12 is set. The navigation number is continuously displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 until it is initialized. Therefore, it is possible to ensure that the navigation notification is surely performed in the state where all the reels under rotation control are rotated at a constant speed, that is, in the state where the stop operation is effective.

Further, during the reel stop process, when the power supply is stopped while the navigation number is displayed, and then the power supply is restarted and the state before the power supply stop is restored, the output of the game auxiliary display 12 is output. The buffer is initialized and the game auxiliary display 12 is hidden, but after that, the rotation of the reels is restarted, and it is determined that all the reels under rotation control are rotating at a constant speed. , The display data for displaying the navigation number again is set in the output buffer of the game auxiliary display 12, and the navigation number is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12, and the game is played when returning from the power supply. Even if the auxiliary display is hidden, the navigation notification can be restarted when all the reels under rotation control are rotated at a constant speed, that is, the stop operation is enabled.

[About game machine information calculation processing]
Next, the control contents of the gaming machine information calculation process performed by the main control unit 41 in the main process will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 to 19.

As shown in FIG. 14, in the gaming machine information calculation process, first, the values of all the registers are saved on the stack (Sd1). Then, after each state count process (Sd2) is executed, the value of the register saved in Sd1 is restored (Sd3), and then the game machine information calculation process is terminated and the process returns to the main process.

[About each state count process]
Next, the control content of each state count process performed by the main control unit 41 in the game machine information calculation process will be described with reference to FIG.

In each state counting process, first, it is determined whether or not the total cumulative number of games or the total cumulative payout number has reached the upper limit (Se1). The total cumulative number of games is the cumulative number of games since the data in the RAM 41c was initialized at the time of shipment from the factory or for some reason, and is stored in a 3-byte storage area, and can count up to 16777215 games. Further, the total cumulative number of payouts is the cumulative number of payouts since the data in the RAM 41c is initialized at the time of shipment from the factory or for some reason, and is stored in a 3-byte storage area, and can count up to 16777215 sheets. is there. Then, in Se1, when the total cumulative count stop flag described later is set in the RAM 41c, it is determined that the total cumulative number of games or the total cumulative payout number has reached the upper limit.

If it is determined in Se1 that the total number of games or the total number of payouts has reached the upper limit, the process proceeds to the step of Se21. When it is determined in Se1 that the total cumulative number of games or the total cumulative number of payouts has not reached the upper limit, 1 is set as an additional value in the DE register (Se2), and the area in which the total cumulative number of games is stored in the RAM 41c. The start address of is set in the HL register (Se3), and the addition value set in the DE register is added to the 3-byte numerical value stored in the address set in the HL register to perform 3-byte data addition / storage processing (Se4). ), Update the total cumulative number of games.

Then, as a result of the addition, the total cumulative number of games reaches the upper limit, and it is determined whether or not an overflow has occurred (Se5). In the 3-byte data addition / storage process, the carry flag described later is set to ON when the result after addition overflows, and the carry flag is set to OFF when the result does not overflow. Therefore, in Se5, the carry flag is set to OFF. Whether or not an overflow has occurred is determined by whether or not it is ON.

If no overflow has occurred in Se5, proceed to the step of Se7, and if an overflow has occurred, that is, when the total cumulative number of games has reached the upper limit, the total cumulative count stop flag is set in RAM 41c. (Se6), proceed to the step of Se7.

In the step from Se7, it is determined whether the total cumulative number of games is in the range of 0 to 5999 games, in the range of 6000 to 174999 games, or in the range of 175000 games or more (Se7 to Se19). Depending on the result of the determination, a value indicating that it is in each range is set as a lighting identification segment (Se7, Se18, Se19). The set lighting identification segment is stored in the display monitor digestion game determination area assigned to the RAM 41c. Then, after sequentially executing the bonus ratio update process (Se21), the continuous bonus ratio update process (Se22), and the instruction-included bonus ratio update process (Se23), the process returns to the gaming machine information calculation process.

[About the accessory ratio update process]
Next, the control content of the accessory ratio update process performed by the main control unit 41 in each state count process will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 16, in the accessory ratio update process, first, the determination game number counter for counting the number of games for determining the number of games is added by 1 (Sf1).

Next, the number of payouts in the current game set in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c by the winning search process (Sa16) in the main process is added to the total payout counters of the cumulative buffers 1 to 3 (Sf2 to Sf6).

Here, the cumulative buffer 1 is provided with a 3-byte total payout counter, a 3-byte bonus payout counter, a 3-byte continuous bonus payout counter, and a 3-byte instruction-added bonus payout counter, and wins a prize in the game. When is generated and the medals are paid out, counting is performed at each counter. When 6000 games are reached after starting counting, each counter is updated to the initial value of 0, and the next game starts counting from the initial value.

Similar to the cumulative buffer 1, the cumulative buffer 2 is also provided with a 3-byte total payout counter, a 3-byte bonus payout counter, a 3-byte continuous bonus payout counter, and a 3-byte instruction-added bonus payout counter. When a prize is won and the medals are paid out, the counters are counted. When 6000 games are reached after starting counting, each counter is updated to the initial value of 0, and the next game starts counting from the initial value. However, the game that starts counting is off by 2000 games from the cumulative buffer 1.

Like the cumulative buffer 1 and the cumulative buffer 2, the cumulative buffer 3 is also provided with a 3-byte total payout counter, a 3-byte bonus payout counter, a 3-byte continuous bonus payout counter, and a 3-byte instruction-added bonus payout counter. When a prize is won in the game and the medals are paid out, the counters are counted. When 6000 games are reached after starting counting, each counter is updated to the initial value of 0, and the next game starts counting from the initial value. However, the games that start counting are out of alignment with the cumulative buffer 1 and 4000 games, and the cumulative buffer 2 and 2000 games.

Further, the cumulative buffers 1 to 3 are stored in the RAM 41c for each of the total payout counter, the bonus payout counter, the continuous bonus payout counter, and the instructed bonus payout counter. Specifically, the total payout counter is stored in the address area continuous in the order of the total payout counter of the cumulative buffer 1, the total payout counter of the cumulative buffer 2, and the total payout counter of the cumulative buffer 3, and the accessory payout counter is the cumulative total. The bonus payout counter of the buffer 1 is stored in the address area in the order of the bonus payout counter of the cumulative buffer 2, the bonus payout counter of the cumulative buffer 3, and the continuous bonus payout counter is the continuous combination of the cumulative buffer 1. The material payout counter, the continuous character payout counter of the cumulative buffer 2, and the continuous character payout counter of the cumulative buffer 3 are stored in the continuous address area in this order. It is stored in a continuous address area in the order of the material payout counter, the instruction-added accessory payout counter of the cumulative buffer 2, and the instruction-added accessory payout counter of the cumulative buffer 3.

Therefore, by setting the start address of the counter to be updated among the total payout counter, the bonus payout counter, the continuous bonus payout counter, and the instructed bonus payout counter in the cumulative buffer 1, the cumulative total is calculated from the set address. The counter value of the buffer 1 can be specified, the counter value of the cumulative buffer 2 can be specified from the set address +3, and the counter value of the cumulative buffer 3 can be specified from the set address +6.

Returning to FIG. 16, in the process (Sf2 to Sf6) of adding the number of payouts in the current game to the total payout counters of the cumulative buffers 1 to 3, first, the start address of the total payout counter of the cumulative buffer 1 (for winning payout addition). The address (head)) is set in the HL register (Sf2), and the number of payouts in the current game set in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c by the winning search process (Sa16) in the main process is set in the B register as an additional value (Sf3). ).

Next, by performing a 3-byte data 1-byte addition process that adds the addition value set in the B register to the 3-byte numerical value stored in the address set in the HL register, the total payout counter of the cumulative buffer 1 is added this time. Add the number of payouts in the game. Further, in the 3-byte data 1-byte addition process, the address set in the HL register is updated to a numerical value (address +3) indicating the address of the next counter, and the 3-byte data 1-byte addition process of Sf4 is performed. Upon termination, the start address of the total payout counter of the cumulative buffer 2 is set in the HL register.

Next, 3-byte data 1-byte addition processing is performed (Sf5), and the number of payouts in this game is added to the total payout counter of the cumulative buffer 2. Then, when the 3-byte data 1-byte addition process of Sf5 is completed, the start address of the total payout counter of the cumulative buffer 3 is set in the HL register.

Next, 3-byte data 1-byte addition processing is performed (Sf6), and the number of payouts in this game is added to the total payout counter of the cumulative buffer 3.

After the process of adding the number of payouts in the current game to the total payout counters of the cumulative buffers 1 to 3 (Sf2 to Sf6), it is determined whether or not the total number of games or the total number of payouts has reached the upper limit ( Sf7). In Sf7, when the above-mentioned total cumulative count stop flag is set in the RAM 41c, it is determined that the total cumulative number of games or the total cumulative payout number has reached the upper limit.

If it is determined in Sf7 that the total number of games or the total number of payouts has reached the upper limit, the process proceeds to the step of Sf13. If it is determined in Sf7 that the total cumulative number of games or the total cumulative payout number has not reached the upper limit, the payout number in this game is set in the DE register as an additional value (Sf8), and the total cumulative payout number in the RAM 41c. The start address of the area where is stored is set in the HL register (Sf9), the above-mentioned 3-byte data addition / storage process is performed (Sf10), and the number of payouts in this game is added to the total number of payouts.

Then, as a result of the addition, the total cumulative number of payouts reaches the upper limit, and it is determined whether or not an overflow has occurred (Sf11). In Sf11, it is determined whether or not an overflow has occurred depending on whether or not the carry flag is ON. If no overflow has occurred in Sf11, the process proceeds to the step of Sf13, and if an overflow has occurred, that is, when the total cumulative number of payouts has reached the upper limit, the total cumulative count stop flag is set in the RAM 41c. (Sf12), the process proceeds to the step of Sf13. The total cumulative count stop flag is the same flag as when the total cumulative number of games reaches the upper limit.

In Sf13, it is determined whether or not the game state is during the character game. In this embodiment, since only the RB is included as the accessory game, it is determined whether or not the game is controlled by the RB. If it is determined in Sf13 that the character is not playing, the process proceeds to Sf23. When it is determined in Sf13 that the character is being played, the character payout counters in the cumulative buffers 1 to 3 are set to the predetermined area of the RAM 41c by the winning search process (Sa16) in the main process. The number of sheets is added (Sf14 to Sf18).

In the process (Sf14 to Sf18) of adding the number of payouts in the current game to the bonus payout counters of the cumulative buffers 1 to 3, the start address of the bonus payout counter of the cumulative buffer 1 (the address for adding bonus payouts (head)). ) Is set in the HL register (Sf14), and the number of payouts in the current game set in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c by the winning search process (Sa16) in the main process is set in the B register as an additional value (Sf15). After that, by performing the 3-byte data 1-byte addition process three times, the number of payouts in the current game is added to the accessory payout counters of the cumulative buffers 1 to 3 (Sf16 to Sf18).

After the process (Sf14 to Sf18) of adding the number of payouts in the current game to the bonus payout counters of the cumulative buffers 1 to 3, it is determined whether or not the total number of games or the total number of payouts has reached the upper limit. (Sf19). In Sf19, when the above-mentioned total cumulative count stop flag is set in the RAM 41c, it is determined that the total cumulative number of games or the total cumulative payout number has reached the upper limit.

If it is determined in Sf19 that the total number of games or the total number of payouts has reached the upper limit, the process proceeds to the step of Sf23. If it is determined in Sf19 that the total cumulative number of games or the total cumulative payout number has not reached the upper limit, the payout number in this game is set in the DE register as an additional value (Sf20), and the total cumulative bonus is set in the RAM 41c. The start address of the area where the number of payouts is stored is set in the HL register (Sf21), the above-mentioned 3-byte data addition / storage process is performed (Sf22), and the number of payouts in this game is added to the total number of payouts. To do.

Next, the start address of the total cumulative payout number is set in the HL register (Sf23), the start address of the total cumulative payout number is set in the DE register (Sf24), and the numerical value stored in the address set in the DE register (Sf24). By performing 3-byte data division processing that calculates the percentage of the numerical value (divided number) stored in the address set in the HL register with respect to (divisor), the total cumulative combination, which is the ratio of the total cumulative bonus number to the total cumulative payout number. The product payout ratio is calculated (Sf25). Then, the calculated total cumulative bonus payout ratio is stored in the RAM 41c (Sf26).

Next, it is determined whether or not the game is the number of updated games by referring to the determination game number counter (Sf27 to Sf30). The judgment game number counter is a counter that circulates and counts between 1 to 6000 games, and is used to determine whether the number of games since the start of counting has reached 2000 games, 4000 games, or 6000 games. The counter used. The above determination is determined by dividing the determination counter by 2000 to see if a remainder is generated, and if a remainder is generated, the game returns to each state counting process assuming that the game is not the number of updated games.

Further, when the determination counter is divided by 2000 and no remainder is generated, it is specified from the quotient of the division result whether the game is an updated game of 2000 games, 4000 games, or 6000 games (Sf31). Then, out of the cumulative buffers 1 to 3, the value of the total payout counter of the cumulative buffer corresponding to the specified update game is read out and stored in the 6000 game cumulative payout number of the 6000 times calculation buffer of the RAM 41c, and the total number of read sources is also read. The payout counter is updated to the initial value of 0 (Sf32 to Sf34). Similarly, the value of the accessory payout counter of the cumulative buffer corresponding to the specified update game is read and stored in the 6000 game cumulative bonus payout number of the 6000 times calculation buffer of the RAM 41c, and the read source bonus payout counter is initially set. It is updated to the value 0 (Sf35 to Sf37).

Next, the start address (address of the character payout (6000 cumulative)) of the cumulative number of 6000 games paid out in the 6000 times calculation buffer is set in the HL register (Sf38), and the total number of 6000 games paid out in the 6000 times calculation buffer is set. By setting the start address (winning payout (6000 cumulative) address) in the DE register (Sf39) and performing the above-mentioned 3-byte data division processing, it is the ratio of the total number of 6000 games paid out to the total number of 6000 games paid out. The accessory payout ratio (6000G) is calculated (Sf40). Then, the calculated accessory payout ratio (6000G) is stored in the RAM 41c (Sf41). After that, it returns to each state count process.

[About the update status of each buffer]
With reference to FIG. 17, the update status of the cumulative buffers 1 to 3 and the 6000 times calculation buffer by the gaming machine information calculation process, and the total cumulative calculation buffer in which the total cumulative number of payouts and the total cumulative number of bonuses paid out are stored To do. Since the stored contents of the cumulative buffers 1-3, 6000 times calculation buffer and the total cumulative calculation buffer are stored in the RAM 41c, they are retained unless the data in the RAM 41c is initialized due to an abnormality at the time of shipment from the factory or for some reason. Has been done.

Counting in the cumulative buffer 1 and the total cumulative calculation buffer is started from the state in which each buffer value is initialized. When 2000 games have passed, counting in the cumulative buffer 2 is started. Cumulative buffer 1 continues counting. Subsequently, when 2000 games have elapsed, counting in the cumulative buffer 3 is started. Cumulative buffer 1 and cumulative buffer 2 continue counting.

When 2000 games have passed, the counting period in the cumulative buffer 1 reaches 6000 games. Here, the count content of the cumulative buffer 1 is stored in the calculation buffer 6000 times. Then, the counting content of the cumulative buffer 1 is initialized and counting is started from the initial value (0).

When the next 2000 games have passed, the counting period in the cumulative buffer 2 reaches 6000 games. Here, the count content of the cumulative buffer 2 is stored in the calculation buffer 6000 times. Then, the counting content of the cumulative buffer 2 is initialized and counting is started from the initial value (0).

The counting result between the 6000 games counted in the cumulative buffers 1 to 3 in this way is stored in the calculation buffer 6000 times every 2000 games. During this period, the counting result of the total cumulative calculation buffer is cumulatively counted without being initialized.

[Continuous character ratio update process]
Next, the control content of the continuous accessory ratio update process performed by the main control unit 41 in each state count process will be described with reference to FIG.

In the continuous bonus ratio update process, first, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is during continuous bonus game (Sg1). In this embodiment, since only RB is included as the continuous character game, it is determined whether or not the game is controlled by RB. If it is determined in Sg1 that the continuous accessory game is not in progress, the process proceeds to Sg11. When it is determined in Sg1 that the continuous bonus game is in progress, the continuous bonus payout counters in the cumulative buffers 1 to 3 are set in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c by the winning search process (Sa16) in the main process. (Sg2 to Sg6).

In the process of adding the number of payouts in the current game to the continuous bonus payout counters of the cumulative buffers 1 to 3 (Sg2 to Sg6), the start address of the continuous bonus payout counter of the cumulative buffer 1 (address for continuous bonus payout addition). (Top)) is set in the HL register (Sg2), and the number of payouts in the current game set in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c by the winning search process (Sa16) in the main process is set in the B register as an additional value (Sg3). .. After that, by performing the 3-byte data 1-byte addition process three times, the number of payouts in the current game is added to the continuous bonus payout counters in the cumulative buffers 1 to 3 (Sg4 to Sg6).

After the process of adding the number of payouts in this game to the continuous bonus payout counters of the cumulative buffers 1 to 3 (Sg2 to Sg6), it is determined whether the total number of games or the total number of payouts has reached the upper limit. (Sg7). In Sg7, when the above-mentioned total cumulative count stop flag is set in the RAM 41c, it is determined that the total cumulative number of games or the total cumulative payout number has reached the upper limit.

If it is determined in Sg7 that the total number of games or the total number of payouts has reached the upper limit, the process proceeds to the step of Sg11. If it is determined in Sg7 that the total cumulative number of games or the total cumulative payout number has not reached the upper limit, the payout number in this game is set in the DE register as an additional value (Sg8), and the total cumulative continuous combination is set in the RAM 41c. The start address of the area where the number of items to be paid out is stored is set in the HL register (Sg9), and the above-mentioned 3-byte data addition / storage process is performed (Sg10). Is added.

Next, the start address of the total cumulative number of consecutive payouts is set in the HL register (Sg11), the start address of the total total number of continuous payouts is set in the DE register (Sg12), and the above-mentioned 3-byte data division process is performed. , The total cumulative continuous bonus payout ratio, which is the ratio of the total cumulative continuous bonus payout to the total cumulative payout number, is calculated (Sg13). Then, the calculated total cumulative continuous bonus payout ratio is stored in the RAM 41c (Sg14).

Next, similarly to the accessory ratio update process, it is determined whether or not the game is the number of updated games by referring to the determination game number counter (Sg15 to Sg18).

Then, when the game is the number of updated games, the value of the continuous accessory payout counter of the cumulative buffer corresponding to the specified updated game is read out from the cumulative buffers 1 to 3, and the 6000 times calculation buffer of the RAM 41c. It is stored in the cumulative number of consecutive bonuses paid out in 6000 games, and the continuous bonus payout counter of the reading source is updated to 0, which is the initial value (Sg19 to Sg21).

Next, the start address of the cumulative number of consecutive bonuses paid out for 6000 games in the buffer for calculating 6000 times (the address for paying out continuous bonuses (cumulative 6000)) is set in the HL register (Sg22), and the cumulative payout of 6000 games in the buffer for calculating 6000 times is performed. By setting the start address of the number of cards (winning payout (6000 cumulative) address) in the DE register (Sg23) and performing the above-mentioned 3-byte data division processing, the total number of consecutive bonuses paid out for 6000 games relative to the cumulative number of games paid out is 6000 games. The continuous accessory payout ratio (6000G), which is a ratio, is calculated (Sg24). Then, the calculated continuous accessory payout ratio (6000 G) is stored in the RAM 41c (Sg25). After that, it returns to each state count process.

[About the instruction-included accessory ratio update process]
Next, the control content of the instruction-included accessory ratio update process performed by the main control unit 41 in each state count process will be described with reference to FIG.

In the instruction-included accessory ratio update process, first, it is determined whether or not the game state is in RB (Sh1). If it is determined in Sh1 that the vehicle is in RB, the process proceeds to Sh13. When it is determined in Sh1 that the RB is not in progress, the navigation number set in the navigation number setting area of the RAM 41c is acquired (Sh2), and it is determined whether or not the acquired navigation number is 0 (Sh3). If the navigation number is 0, that is, if the navigation notification is not performed, the process proceeds to Sh13.

When the navigation number is not 0 in Sh3, that is, when the navigation number is 1 or more and the navigation notification is performed, the winning search process (Sa16) in the main process is applied to the instruction-added accessory payout counters in the cumulative buffers 1 to 3. The number of payouts in the current game set in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c is added (Sh4 to Sh8).

In the process (Sh4 to Sh8) of adding the number of payouts in the current game to the instructed bonus payout counters in the cumulative buffers 1 to 3, the start address of the instructed bonus payout counter in the cumulative buffer 1 (instructed bonus payout). The addition address (head)) is set in the HL register (Sh4), and the number of payouts in the current game set in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c by the winning search process (Sa16) in the main process is set in the B register as an addition value. (Sh5). After that, by performing the 3-byte data 1-byte addition process three times, the number of payouts in the current game is added to the instructed accessory payout counters of the cumulative buffers 1 to 3 (Sh6 to Sh8).

After the process of adding the number of payouts in this game to the instruction-added bonus payout counters of the cumulative buffers 1 to 3 (Sh4 to Sh8), whether or not the total cumulative number of games or the total cumulative payout number has reached the upper limit is determined. Judgment (Sh9). In Sh9, when the above-mentioned total cumulative count stop flag is set in the RAM 41c, it is determined that the total cumulative number of games or the total cumulative payout number has reached the upper limit.

If it is determined in Sh9 that the total number of games or the total number of payouts has reached the upper limit, the process proceeds to Sh13. If it is determined in Sh9 that the total number of games or the total number of payouts has not reached the upper limit, the number of payouts in this game is set in the DE register as an additional value (Sh10), and the total total number is indicated in the RAM 41c. The start address of the area where the number of bonuses to be paid out is stored is set in the HL register (Sh11), and the above-mentioned 3-byte data addition / storage process is performed (Sh12). Add the number of payouts.

Next, the start address of the total cumulative payout number is set in the HL register (Sh13), the start address of the total cumulative payout number is set in the DE register (Sh14), and the above-mentioned 3-byte data division process is performed. Therefore, the total cumulative instruction-included accessory payout ratio, which is the ratio of the total cumulative instruction-included accessory payout number to the total cumulative payout number, is calculated (Sh15). Then, the calculated total cumulative instructed accessory payout ratio is stored in the RAM 41c (Sh16).

Next, similarly to the accessory ratio update process, it is determined whether or not the game is the number of updated games by referring to the determination game number counter (Sh17 to Sh20).

Then, when the game is the number of updated games, the value of the instructed accessory payout counter of the cumulative buffer corresponding to the specified updated game is read out from the cumulative buffers 1 to 3 for 6000 times calculation of the RAM 41c. It is stored in the total number of instructed accessory payouts for 6000 games in the buffer, and the instructed accessory payout counter of the reading source is updated to 0, which is the initial value (Sh21 to Sh23).

Next, the start address (address of the instruction-included accessory payout (6000 cumulative)) of the 6000 games cumulative instruction-included accessory payout number of the 6000-time calculation buffer is set in the HL register (Sh24), and the 6000 games of the 6000-time calculation buffer is set. By setting the start address of the cumulative payout number (winning payout (6000 cumulative) address) in the DE register (Sh25) and performing the above-mentioned 3-byte data division processing, the 6000 game cumulative instruction-included accessory for the cumulative payout number of 6000 games The instruction-included accessory payout ratio (6000G), which is the ratio of the number of payouts, is calculated (Sh26). Then, the calculated instructed accessory payout ratio (6000 G) is stored in the RAM 41c (Sh27). After that, it returns to each state count process.

In this way, in the instruction-included accessory ratio update process, the navigation number set in the navigation number setting area of the RAM 41c is acquired, and when the navigation number is 1 or more, it is determined that the game is a navigation notification. , Instructed accessory payout counters in cumulative buffers 1 to 3 and total cumulative number of indicated accessories paid out are updated, and the updated cumulative buffers 1 to 3 are updated instructed accessory payout counters and total cumulative indicated bonuses paid out. Based on the number of sheets, the total cumulative instructed accessory payout ratio and the instructed accessory payout ratio (6000G) are calculated.

Further, in this embodiment, 1 to 13 are set as the navigation numbers, but even if a value of 14 or more is set, it is determined that the game is a navigation notification, and the cumulative buffers 1 to 1 are set. 3 In addition to updating the instruction-instructed accessory payout counter and the total cumulative number of instructed accessory payouts, based on the updated cumulative buffers 1 to 3 of the instructed accessory payout counter and the total cumulative number of instructed accessory payouts, The total cumulative total instruction-included accessory payout ratio and the instruction-included accessory payout ratio (6000G) are calculated.

Is preferably configured to have a different display mode, and with such a configuration, the upper two digits of the gaming machine information display 50 (for example, "1C") are displayed in a state where the game has not reached 6000 games. ), It can be recognized that the total of the continuous bonus payout ratio and the like has not reached 6000 games, and it is possible to recognize that the displayed ratio and ratio may be biased. Further, by displaying "00" in the lower two digits of the game machine information display 50 when the game has not reached 6000 games, the game machine information is always displayed when the game has not reached 6000 games. The data is displayed in the last two digits of the device 50. For example, when the data is not displayed in one of the last two digits of the display, it is possible to recognize the abnormality of the display.

In addition, the main control unit 41 has a continuous bonus payout ratio, a bonus payout ratio, an instruction-included bonus payout ratio, a continuous bonus payout ratio to the total cumulative number of games, a bonus payout ratio, and an instruction-included role. If the data used to calculate the product payout ratio is judged to be normal or not, and if it is determined to be abnormal (total cumulative number of bonuses paid out, total cumulative number of consecutive bonuses paid out, total cumulative instructions included) If the number of characters to be paid out is large, or if the stored value is in a certain data format (such as 01 repetition), the data determined to be abnormal and the data related to the data are initialized, and the game machine is used. The information display 50 is displayed to the effect that an abnormality has been detected (for example, "FFFF") to notify the fact, and it is recognized that the calculation of these data is not performed normally. You can do it.

When initializing the data determined to be abnormal and the data related to the data, for example, among the continuous bonus payout ratio, the bonus payout ratio, and the instruction-included bonus payout ratio during the past 6000 games. If at least one of them is determined to be abnormal, the data relating to all of them may be initialized, or only a part of the data may be initialized. If at least one of the continuous bonus payout ratio, the bonus payout ratio, and the instructed bonus payout ratio to the total cumulative number of payouts is determined to be abnormal, the data related to all of them should be initialized. Alternatively, only some data may be initialized. In addition, when an abnormality is determined in a part of the data between the past 6000 games, all the data for the past 6000 games and the total total number of games is initialized, or conversely, a part of the data for the total total number of games is initialized. When an abnormality is determined, all the data for the past 6000 games and the total total number of games may be initialized.

In addition, it was determined whether the data used to calculate the continuous bonus payout ratio, the bonus payout ratio, and the indicated bonus payout ratio for the past 6000 games and the total cumulative number of payouts was normal, and it was determined to be abnormal. In that case, a predetermined operation (for example, the switches such as the start switch 7, the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R, and the setting key switch 37 are operated by a predetermined procedure) is performed after notifying that fact. Therefore, the data may be initialized.

Further, in the notification that an abnormality has been determined, as described above, even if the gaming machine information display 50 is made to display that an abnormality has been detected (for example, "FFFF") to notify the fact. Good, when an abnormality is determined, a command that can identify that fact is transmitted to the sub control unit 91, and the sub control unit 91 notifies that the abnormality has been determined by the liquid crystal display 51 or the like. You may do so.

In addition, the main control unit 41 performs the period from the start of data aggregation to the arrival of 6000 games, that is, the continuous bonus payout ratio, the bonus payout ratio, the instruction-included bonus payout ratio, and the total for the past 6000 games. During the period when the data for calculating the continuous bonus payout ratio, the bonus payout ratio, the instruction-included bonus payout ratio, etc. to the cumulative number of payouts is insufficient, the display content of the game machine information display 50 aggregates the data. It is displayed in a mode different from the display mode after 6000 games from the start, and it is possible to recognize that the data for calculating the display content is an insufficient period.

In this embodiment, in the period from when the power is turned on until the power supply is stopped, the continuous bonus payout ratio, the bonus payout ratio, the instruction-included bonus payout ratio, and the continuous bonuses for the total cumulative number of games paid out during the past 6000 games. The item payout ratio, the accessory payout ratio, and the instruction-included accessory payout ratio are switched and displayed at predetermined intervals, but are displayed only when the open state of the front door 1b is detected. , Displayed only when the operation of a predetermined operation switch (for example, reset / setting switch 38) is detected, displayed when not in the game, setting change status or setting confirmation It may be displayed only for a predetermined period after the power is turned on. Further, instead of automatically switching every predetermined period, the display content may be switched every time a predetermined operation is performed.

Further, in the present embodiment, the game machine information indicates that the data abnormality used for calculating the display content of the game machine information display 50 has been determined and that the data for calculating the display content is insufficient. Although the configuration is such that the display is notified using the display 50, a command that can identify that fact is transmitted to the sub control unit 91 so that it can be confirmed by the display or the effect device controlled by the sub control unit 91. good.

Further, in this embodiment, the continuous bonus payout ratio, the bonus payout ratio, the instruction-included bonus payout ratio, the continuous bonus payout ratio to the total cumulative number of games to be paid out, the bonus payout ratio, and the instruction-included bonus The payout ratio is displayed on the gaming machine information display 50. In addition to these displays, the RAM 41c has been initialized by changing the settings, and the wiring provided in the slot machine 1 (wiring of the backup power supply, etc.) ) When the disconnection is detected, the content that can be recognized to that effect may be displayed on the gaming machine information display 50.

In particular, if the setting is changed during the bonus, during the advantageous section or during the carry-over of the bonus and the bonus or advantageous section is forcibly terminated, or if the bonus being carried over is cleared, the game is defined while the bonus is being carried over. When more than one is performed or an operation to intentionally end the advantageous section is performed, that is, when the game state is intentionally changed from a relatively advantageous game state to a disadvantageous game state for the player, and the game machine information display When it is detected that the device 50 may not be connected normally due to a disconnection or the like, a notification to that effect is identifiable. By doing so, it is possible to recognize that there is a possibility that the correct information is not displayed as the bonus payout ratio, the continuous bonus payout ratio, the instructed bonus payout ratio, and the like.

In addition, in order to avoid overflow of the total cumulative number of games and the total total number of payouts, in the configuration that initializes the total cumulative data, etc., it is possible to specify that fact, and the above-mentioned bonus payout ratio and continuous bonuses can be specified. It is preferable to notify in a manner different from the case where there is a possibility that the correct information is not displayed as the payout ratio, the payout ratio of the instructed accessory, etc., and by doing so, overflow is avoided. The fact that the total number of games and the total number of total payouts have been initialized by the processing to be performed should be recognized separately from the initialization by an illegal operation to prevent correct information from being displayed as the bonus payout ratio, etc. Can be done.

In addition, if there is a possibility that the correct information is not displayed as the accessory payout ratio, continuous accessory payout ratio, instruction-indicated accessory payout ratio, etc. as described above, that fact is detected. The detection history is recorded on the main control unit 41 side, and no notification is given at the time of the detection. After that, a predetermined operation (for example, a switch such as a start switch 7, a stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R, a setting key switch 37, etc.) is performed. By operating the types in a predetermined procedure, connecting a predetermined external device such as an inspection terminal to the game control board 40, etc.), these histories are provided on the main control unit 41 side. It can be confirmed by a display (for example, a game machine information display 50 or the like), a display provided on the sub-control unit 91 side (for example, a liquid crystal display 51 or the like), an external display of the slot machine 1 or the like. Is also good.

In addition, correct information such as a setting change, a disconnection detection, a connection failure of the gaming machine information display 50, and a bonus payout ratio, a continuous bonus payout ratio, an instruction-included bonus payout ratio, etc. May not be displayed, and as mentioned above, there is a possibility that the correct information is not displayed as the character payout ratio, continuous character payout ratio, instruction-instructed character payout ratio, etc. May be confirmed on a display or an effect device controlled by the sub-control unit 91. In addition, during the bonus, during the advantageous section or during the carry-over of the bonus, the setting is changed and the bonus or advantageous section is forcibly terminated, or the bonus during the carry-over is cleared, and the bonus payout ratio and continuous bonus The sub-control unit 91 records the history of detection that there is a possibility of unauthorized operation so that correct information is not displayed as the payout ratio, bonus payout ratio, etc., and these are performed by a predetermined operation. You may be able to check the history of.

Each ratio display may be displayed not only on the game machine information display 50 but also on the credit display 11 and the game auxiliary display 12, and the credit display 11 and the game auxiliary display 12 may be displayed. It is a display that displays information according to the progress of the game, and since the ratio display cannot always be displayed, a predetermined operation was performed by a clerk of the game store, etc. in a situation where the game is not being played. With the ratio display displayed on the credit display 11 and the game auxiliary display 12, the front door 1b is closed, the medal is inserted into the slot machine 1, an error occurs, and the setting key switch is displayed. When any of the operation of 37, the operation of the checkout switch 10, and the stop of the power supply to the slot machine 1 are detected, the ratio display is switched to the original display contents displayed before the ratio display is displayed, and the ratio display is terminated. It is preferable to let it.

[About the game auxiliary display]
Next, the configuration and display mode of the game auxiliary display 12 will be described with reference to FIGS. 21 and 22.

As shown in FIG. 21A, the game auxiliary display 12 includes a first segment A, a second segment B, a third segment C, a fourth segment D, a fifth segment E, a sixth segment F, and a seventh segment. It consists of two indicators 12L and 12R that can turn on / off the G and 8th segment DP, respectively, and the main control unit 41 sets display data for each of the indicators 12L and 12R, so that the first to first ones It is a display capable of displaying various information by turning on or off the 8-segments A to DP.

As shown in FIG. 21B, the display data is composed of 8-bit data, and the value of the 7th bit of the display data is the first segment A, and the value of the 6th bit is the second segment B. The value of the 5th bit is the 3rd segment C, the value of the 4th bit is the 4th segment D, the value of the 3rd bit is the 5th segment E, the value of the 2nd bit is the 6th segment F, and the value of the 1st bit is The values of the 7th segment G and the 0th bit correspond to the 8th segment DP, respectively. The segment is controlled to the non-lighting state when the value of the corresponding bit is 0, and is controlled to the lighting state when the value of the corresponding bit is 1.

As shown in FIG. 21 (c), when the main control unit 41 displays the display value on each display 12L, 12R of the game auxiliary display 12, first, the display value is displayed for each display 12L, 12R. The display data is set in the output buffer of the corresponding indicators 12L, 12R, and the lighting / extinguishing signal based on the display data is sent from the output port to each indicator 12L, 12R by the port output processing in the subsequent timer interrupt processing. By outputting to, and setting the first to eighth segments A to DP of the respective indicators 12L and 12R to the lit state or the non-lit state, the display value is displayed on the respective indicators 12L and 12R of the game auxiliary indicator 12. Let me. For example, when displaying "1" as a display value on the display 12L, the display value "1" is converted to the display data "01100,000" and "01100,000" is set in the output buffer of the display 12L. Then, by outputting the lighting / extinguishing signal corresponding to the 1st to 8th segments A to DP of the display 12L from the output port to the display 12L by the port output processing in the timer interrupt processing, "1" is displayed in the display data. The 2nd and 3rd segments B and C of the display 12L corresponding to the 6th and 5th bits in which are set are lit, and the 7th bit and the 4th to 0th bits in which "0" is set in the display data are lit. The first segment A and the fourth to eighth segments D to DP of the corresponding display 12L are turned off, and "1" is displayed on the display 12L.

In this way, the main control unit 41 controls a plurality of segments of each display 12L and 12R to be in a lit state or a non-lit state, so that a predetermined number (“0” to “9”) or a symbol is displayed as a display value. Various information can be displayed by displaying (for example, "-", ".", Etc.) and alphabetic characters (for example, "E", etc.) in one or two digits. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 22, the number of medals paid out (0 to 15), the navigation notification (1 to 13) indicating the operation mode, and the error code (E1 to) capable of identifying the type of error occurring. E8), it is possible to display a setting code (−−) that can identify the setting change state.

[About the display status of the game assistance display]
Next, the display status of the game auxiliary display 12 will be described with reference to FIGS. 23 to 29.

As shown in FIG. 23, when a medal is inserted into the medal insertion unit 4 or the bet number is set by operating the MAXBET switch 6, the main control unit 41 uses the output buffers of the indicators 12L and 12R of the RAM 41c. Initialize and hide the game auxiliary display 12.

As shown in FIG. 23A, when the start switch 7 is operated and the navigation notification is not performed, the main control unit 41 continues in the hidden state until all the reels are stopped, and all the reels are stopped. In addition, when the small winning combination wins and a medal is awarded when the third stop operation is turned off, the number of payouts given by winning the small winning combination is acquired from the RAM 41c and the acquired number of payouts is displayed. The number of payouts (1 to 15) is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 by converting the data into display data for each of the devices 12L and 12R and setting the data in the output buffer of the displays 12L and 12R.

After that, the main control unit 41 continues to display the number of payouts until the bet number of the next game is set even after the end of the game, and when the bet number of the next game is set, the display is as described above. By initializing the output buffers of 12L and 12R and hiding the game auxiliary display 12, the display of the number of payouts in the previous game is completed. If all the reels are stopped, the small winning combination is not won, and the medal is not given, the game auxiliary display 12 is kept hidden.

Further, as shown in FIG. 23B, when the start switch 7 is operated and the navigation notification is performed, the main control unit 41 enters the navigation number setting area of the RAM 41c when the start switch 7 is operated. A navigation number indicating the operation mode according to the navigation target combination won in the internal lottery was set in the navigation number setting area of the RAM 41c, and after the reel rotation started, the reel became a constant speed rotation and the stop operation was enabled. By acquiring the navigation number from the navigation number setting area of the RAM 41c at the timing, converting the acquired navigation number into display data for each display 12L and 12R, and setting it in the output buffer of the display 12L and 12R, the game auxiliary display is displayed. A navigation number (1 to 13) indicating an operation mode is displayed on the device 12. Further, in the main control unit 41, the reel rotates at a constant speed and the stop operation is enabled, the display data corresponding to the navigation number is set in the output buffers of the indicators 12L and 12R, and the operation mode is set in the game auxiliary indicator 12. Even after the indicated navigation number is displayed, every time the constant speed rotation of the reel is detected, the navigation number is acquired from the navigation number setting area of the RAM 41c, and the acquired navigation number is displayed in the display data for each display 12L and 12R. It is converted and repeatedly set in the output buffers of the indicators 12L and 12R. At this time, even if the stop operation is performed in an operation mode other than the operation mode corresponding to the navigation display, the display data for each of the indicators 12L and 12R is not initialized, and the stop operation is performed in the operation mode corresponding to the navigation display. Regardless of whether or not it is, the navigation number is continuously displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 until the stop operation (change from OFF to ON) of the third stop reel is detected.

After that, at the timing when the stop operation (change from OFF to ON) of the third stop reel is detected, the output buffers of the indicators 12L and 12R are initialized, and the game auxiliary indicator 12 is hidden. Exit the navigation display. On the other hand, the navigation number stored in the navigation number storage area of the RAM 41c is maintained without being initialized, and the main control unit 41 stops all reels and stops the third stop reel. When the operation is turned off, the above-mentioned game machine information calculation process is performed before the medal payout process is performed. At this time, the main control unit 41 acquires the navigation number set in the navigation number storage area of the RAM 41c, and when the navigation number is 1 or more, the instruction-added accessory payout counter of the cumulative buffers 1 to 3 and the total. The cumulative number of instructed accessory payouts is updated, and the total cumulative instructed accessory payout ratio and the instructed accessory payout ratio (6000 G) are calculated.

Further, when all the reels are stopped and the stop operation of the third stop reel is turned off, a small winning combination is won and a medal is given, after performing the above-mentioned game machine information calculation process. The number of payouts given by winning a small winning combination is acquired from the RAM 41c, the acquired number of payouts is converted into display data for each display 12L and 12R, and set in the output buffer of the display 12L and 12R to assist the game. The number of payouts (1 to 15) is displayed on the display 12.

After that, the main control unit 41 initializes the navigation number setting area of the RAM 41c and sets 0 by the initialization process performed at the end of one game, but does not initialize the output buffers of the indicators 12L and 12R, and these Based on the display data set in the output buffer of, even after the end of the game, the display of the number of payouts is continued until the bet number of the next game is set. Then, when the bet number for the next game is set, the output buffers of the indicators 12L and 12R are initialized as described above, and the game auxiliary indicator 12 is hidden, so that the number of payouts in the previous game is set. End the display of. If all the reels are stopped, the small winning combination is not won, and the medal is not given, the game auxiliary display 12 is kept hidden.

As shown in FIG. 24, when the main control unit 41 detects the occurrence of an abnormality, the main control unit 41 sets an error flag corresponding to the error type of the detected abnormality in the error flag setting area of the RAM 41c, and the game cannot proceed. By controlling the error status, converting the error code indicating the error type into display data for each display 12L, 12R, and setting it in the output buffer of the display 12L, 12R, the error code (error code ( E1 to E8) are displayed. After that, when the reset operation is performed by the reset switch 23 or the reset / setting switch 38, the error state is cleared by clearing the error flag so that the game can proceed, and the indicators 12L and 12R By initializing the output buffer of the above and hiding the game auxiliary display 12, the display of the error code is terminated.

As shown in FIG. 25, after the small winning combination is won, the main control unit 41 is in a state where the game auxiliary display 12 continues to display the number of payouts (1 to 15), and after the power supply is stopped. When the ON state of the setting key switch 37 is detected when the power supply is restarted, a game state flag indicating that the setting is being changed is set and set in the game state flag setting area different from the above-mentioned error flag setting area in the RAM 41c. By shifting to the changed state, converting the setting code that can identify the setting changed state into display data for each display 12L, 12R, and setting it in the output buffer of the display 12L, 12R, the game auxiliary display Display the setting code (−−) on the vessel 12. After that, when the set value is fixed and the OFF state of the setting key switch 37 is detected, the main control unit 41 initializes the game state flag indicating that the setting is being changed, which is set in the game state flag setting area of the RAM 41c. To end the setting change state by changing to the game state flag indicating the game state (non-internal), shift to the normal game state (non-internal), and initialize the output buffers of the indicators 12L and 12R. Then, the game auxiliary display 12 is hidden.

The main control unit 41 does not detect the ON state of the setting key switch 37 when the power supply is restarted after the power supply is stopped, and returns to the control state before the power supply is stopped. Based on the display data set in the output buffer of the display 12L, it is determined whether or not an error code or setting code is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 before the power supply is stopped, and the power supply is stopped. If it is determined that the error code or setting code is not displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 before the operation, the game auxiliary display 12 is hidden by initializing the output buffers of the displays 12L and 12R. On the other hand, if it is determined that the error code or setting code is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 before the power supply is stopped, the output buffers of the displays 12L and 12R are maintained to perform before the power supply. The error code or setting code displayed in is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12.

As a result, as shown in FIG. 26, the main control unit 41 continues to display the number of payouts (1 to 15) on the game auxiliary display 12 after the end of the game, that is, information indicating the result of the game. Is displayed, after the power supply is stopped, when the power supply is restarted, the ON state of the setting key switch 37 is not detected, and the state after the end of the game before the power supply is stopped is displayed. When returning, the game auxiliary display 12 is hidden by initializing the output buffers of the displays 12L and 12R.

Further, as shown in FIG. 27, the main control unit 41 supplies power while the navigation notification is being executed and the navigation numbers (1 to 13) indicating the operation mode are displayed on the game auxiliary display 12. When the ON state of the setting key switch 37 is not detected when the power supply is restarted after the power supply is stopped, and the state is restored to the running state of the navigation notification before the power supply is stopped, the display 12L By initializing the output buffer of 12R, the game auxiliary display 12 is hidden. In this case, after the reel rotation is restarted, the main control unit 41 converts the navigation number indicating the operation mode into display data at the timing when the reel rotates at a constant speed and the stop operation is enabled, and the display 12L again. , By setting the output buffer of 12R, the game auxiliary display 12 is displayed with the navigation numbers (1 to 13) indicating the operation mode.

Further, as shown in FIG. 28, the main control unit 41 is in an error state, and in a state where the error code (E1 to E8) is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12, the power is supplied after the power supply is stopped. When the ON state of the setting key switch 37 is not detected when the supply is restarted and the error state is restored before the power supply is stopped, the output buffers of the indicators 12L and 12R are maintained to generate power. The error code displayed before the supply is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12.

Further, as shown in FIG. 29, the main control unit 41 is in the setting change state, and the setting code (−−) is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12, and after the power supply is stopped, the power is supplied. When the ON state of the setting key switch 37 is not detected when the supply is restarted and the setting is returned to the setting change state before the power supply is stopped, the output buffers of the indicators 12L and 12R are maintained. The setting code displayed before the power supply is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12.

In this way, the main control unit 41 does not detect the ON state of the setting key switch 37 when the power supply is restarted after the power supply is stopped, and returns to the control state before the power supply is stopped. In addition, if the number of payouts, that is, the display according to the result of the game continues on the game auxiliary display 12 when the power supply is stopped, the game auxiliary display 12 is not turned on when the power supply is restarted. Display state. As a result, when the power supply is stopped while the display of the number of payouts is continued on the game auxiliary display 12, the power supply is started and the setting is changed to the setting change state, and the set value is set. Even if there is, even if the power supply starts and does not shift to the setting change state and returns to the control state before the power supply is stopped, the game auxiliary display 12 is in the non-display state in each case. So, it is not possible to guess whether the set value has been changed. At this time, the number of payouts before the power supply is stopped is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12, and even if the number of payouts is hidden after the power supply is restarted, the number of payouts is before the power supply is stopped. It is the result of the game and does not affect the game after the power supply is resumed.

On the other hand, when the main control unit 41 does not detect the ON state of the setting key switch 37 when the power supply is restarted after the power supply is stopped, and returns to the control state before the power supply is stopped. , When the game is in an error state or setting change state in which the game cannot proceed when the power supply is stopped, and an error code indicating the error state or a setting code indicating the setting change state is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12. Displays the error code and setting code that were displayed before the power supply was stopped on the game auxiliary display 12 when the power supply was restarted, so that the game progressed when the power supply was restarted. It is possible to identify that it is not possible.

[About the initialization judgment of the game auxiliary display]
As described above, the main control unit 41 does not detect the ON state of the setting key switch 37 when the power supply is restarted after the power supply is stopped, and returns to the control state before the power supply is stopped. In this case, based on the display data set in the output buffer of the display 12L, it is determined whether or not the error code or the setting code is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 before the power supply is stopped. Based on the determination result, the output buffers of the indicators 12L and 12R are initialized and the game auxiliary display 12 is hidden, or the output buffers of the indicators 12L and 12R are maintained and the game auxiliary indicator 12 is displayed. Decide whether to keep the display state.

The number of payouts displayed on the game assistance display 12 is a value of 1 to 15, and the value displayed on the 7-segment G of the display 12L corresponding to the tens digit value of the game assistance display 12 is the displayed value. Any value from 1 to 15 will be in the non-lighting state. Further, the navigation numbers indicating the operation modes displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 are values 1 to 13, and even in this case, the display 12L corresponding to the tens digit value of the game auxiliary display 12 is the first. The 7-segment G is in a non-lighting state regardless of the displayed value of any of 1 to 13. On the other hand, the error codes displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 are E1 to E8, and the displayed value of the 7-segment G of the display 12L corresponding to the tens digit value of the game auxiliary display 12 is the displayed value. Any value of E1 to E8 will be in the lighting state. Further, the setting code displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 is −−, and even in this case, the 7-segment G of the display 12L corresponding to the tens digit value of the game auxiliary display 12 is in the lit state. Become. Therefore, an error code is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 depending on whether the seventh segment G of the display 12L corresponding to the tens digit value of the game auxiliary display 12 is in the lit state or not lit. Alternatively, the setting code is displayed, or the error code or setting code is not displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 (the number of payouts is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12, and the operation mode is shown. It is possible to specify whether the navigation number is displayed or hidden).

Then, when the main control unit 41 does not detect the ON state of the setting key switch 37 when the power supply is restarted after the power supply is stopped, and returns to the control state before the power supply is stopped. , Before the power supply is stopped by determining whether the 7th segment G of the display 12L corresponding to the tens digit value of the game auxiliary display 12 is in the non-lighting state or the lighting state. It is determined whether or not an error code or a setting code is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 30A, the main control unit 41 is set in the output buffer of the display 12L corresponding to the tens digit value of the game auxiliary display 12. (Sm1), AND operation is performed with the acquired display data of the display 12L and 02 (H) (Sm2), it is determined whether or not the calculation result is 0 (Sm3), and the calculation result is 0. If it is determined that, the output buffers of the indicators 12L and 12R are initialized (Sm4) to hide the game auxiliary indicator 12, while if it is determined that the calculation result is not 0 in Sm3, , The output buffers of the indicators 12L and 12R are maintained, and the game auxiliary indicator 12 is returned to the display state before the power supply is stopped.

In this way, by performing an AND calculation (Sm2) between the display data of the display 12L acquired in Sm1 and 02 (H), the value of the first bit corresponding to the seventh segment G is 1 in 02 (H). Since the value of the bit corresponding to the other segment is 000000010 (binary number), the display data of the display 12L acquired by Sm1 is 000000000000 (binary number), that is, the 7th segment G. When the value of the first bit indicating the lighting state / non-lighting state of is 0 indicating the non-lighting state, the calculation result of Sm2 is 00000000000 (binary number), and the 7th segment G of the display 12L is non-lighting. A state in which the lighting state is specified and the error code or setting code is not displayed on the game assistance display 12 as described above (a state in which the number of payouts is displayed on the game assistance display 12 and an operation mode are shown. Since it is specified that the navigation number is displayed or hidden), in this case, the output buffers of the indicators 12L and 12R are initialized to the display state before the power supply is stopped. Regardless, the game auxiliary display 12 is hidden.

On the other hand, when the display data of the display 12L acquired by Sm1 is 000000010 (binary number), that is, the value of the first bit indicating the lighting state / non-lighting state of the 7th segment G is 1 indicating the lighting state. In that case, the calculation result of Sm2 is 000000010 (binary number) and not 0000000000 (binary number). Therefore, it is specified that the 7-segment G of the display 12L is in the lit state, and the game is played as described above. Since it is specified that the error code or the setting code is displayed on the auxiliary display 12, in this case, the output buffers of the displays 12L and 12R are maintained, and the game auxiliary display 12 supplies power. Will return to the display state before the stop, that is, the state in which the error code or setting code is displayed.

Further, as a method of determining whether or not the error code or the setting code is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 before the power supply is stopped, is the error state in which the error code is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12. , It is also possible to adopt a method of determining whether or not the setting code is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 in the setting change state. When this method is adopted, in this embodiment, the error flag indicating whether or not it is in the error state and the game state flag indicating whether or not it is in the setting change state are stored in different storage areas. , Error flag, and game status flag must be acquired and judged respectively.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 30B, the main control unit 41 acquires the game state flag (Sn1), and determines from the acquired game state flag whether or not the setting is changed (Sn2). ), If it is determined that the setting is not in the changed state, an error flag is acquired (Sn3), and if it is determined from the acquired error flag whether or not it is in the error state (Sn4), if it is determined that the error is not in the error state , The output buffers of the indicators 12L and 12R are initialized (Sn5) to hide the game auxiliary indicator 12, while when it is determined in Sn2 that the setting is changed, it is determined that Sn4 is in an error state. In this case, the output buffers of the indicators 12L and 12R are maintained, and the game auxiliary indicator 12 is returned to the display state before the power supply is stopped.

As described above, in the method of determining whether the state is an error state or the setting change state, five steps of Sn1 to Sn5 are required and two branches are required, whereas FIG. 30 (a) ), The method of determining whether or not the 7-segment G of the display 12L is in the lit state requires only four steps of Sm1 to Sm4 and only one branch, which is an error state. The program capacity is smaller than the method of determining whether the setting is changed or not.

[Control at the end of the advantageous section]
Next, the control at the end of the advantageous section will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 31, when the main control unit 41 determines that the advantageous section end flag is set in the advantageous section end processing in the main processing, the RAM 41c is advantageous regardless of the advantageous section state. Initialize the target area at the end of the section and the target area (AT-related) at the end of each game.

As a result, the advantageous section flag stored in the target area at the end of the advantageous section, the signal buffer in the advantageous section, the data indicating the advantageous section state, the navigation number stored in the target area (AT related) at the end of each game, etc. , All the information related to the advantageous section is initialized, and the game section shifts to the normal section.

In games other than the end of the advantageous section among the advantageous sections, the target area (AT-related) at the end of each game is initialized in the initialization at the end of one game performed after the end process of the advantageous section, and the navigation number is set. While the navigation number set in the area is initialized, in the game at the end of the advantageous section, the target area (AT-related) at the end of each game is initialized by the advantageous section end processing, and the navigation number setting area is initialized. The navigation number set to is initialized, but the display of the navigation number on the game auxiliary display 12 is such that the stop operation of the third stop reel changes from OFF to ON as described above. Since it is hidden, and the game machine information calculation process for updating the number of instructed accessory payouts and calculating the instructed accessory payout ratio using the navigation number is performed before the advantageous section end process. It does not affect these processes.

Then, the main control unit 41 controls the section display LED 19 to be turned off by determining that the signal buffer in the advantageous section of the RAM 41c is OFF in the game section notification end process after the advantageous section end process.

In this way, at the end of the advantageous section, the advantageous section flag stored in the target area at the end of the advantageous section, the advantageous section signal buffer, the data indicating the advantageous section state, and the target area (AT-related) at the end of each game are stored. After all the information related to the advantageous section such as the navigation number is initialized, the section display LED 19 is turned off and the notification that the section is advantageous ends, so that the notification that the section is advantageous ends. Despite this, there is no situation in which the advantage section is controlled.

In particular, since the navigation number setting area in which the navigation number is stored is initialized before the section display LED 19 is turned off, the navigation notification is performed even though the notification indicating that the section is advantageous has been completed. It can be prevented from being done.

Further, in the RAM 41c, as an area for storing information related to the advantageous section, a target area at the end of the advantageous section that is not initialized for each game and a target area at the end of each game that is initialized for each game (AT). (Related), and at the end of the advantageous section, the target area (AT-related) at the end of each game is also initialized without waiting for the end of one game. It is possible to prevent the related information from remaining.

Further, the main control unit 41 can control a plurality of advantageous section states in the advantageous section, but regardless of the advantageous section state controlled at the end of the advantageous section, the target area at the end of the advantageous section and the end of each game All areas of the target area (AT-related) are initialized, and all information related to the advantageous section is initialized regardless of which advantageous section state is controlled at the end of the advantageous section. Can be transformed into.

[About the configuration of the main control unit]
The main control unit 41 of this embodiment is a microcomputer including a CPU 41a, a ROM 41b, and a RAM 41c. The CPU 41a can execute various processes by executing the program stored in the ROM 41b. Further, the main control unit 41 includes an A register, a BC register, a DE register, and an HL register as registers for storing the values used for the calculation executed by the CPU 41a, and the A register, the BC register, the DE register, the HL register, and the designation. It is possible to perform an operation of up to 2 bytes using the value stored in the address area of the RAM 41c. Further, the main control unit 41 includes an F register in which a flag corresponding to the calculation result is stored. The flag stored in the F register is a zero flag in which 1 (ON) is set when the operation result is 0, and 0 (OFF) is set when the operation result is other than 0. When the operation result overflows. Includes a carry flag that is set to 1 (ON) and 0 (OFF) when the digits do not overflow.

[About 3-byte data division processing]
Next, the main control unit 41 executes when calculating the 100% ratio using a maximum of 3 bytes of a divisor and a division in the accessory ratio update process, the continuous accessory ratio update process, and the instruction-included accessory ratio update process. The byte data division process will be described.

The main control unit 41 stores the start address of the area of the RAM 41c in which the divisor is stored in the HL register, stores the start address of the area of the RAM 41c in which the divisor is stored in the DE register, and then executes the 3-byte data division process. By doing so, the value of divisor / divisor × 100 is stored in the A register using the divisor and divisor specified from each address. The divisor and divisor are values of up to 3 bytes and are stored in a continuous 3-byte area of the RAM 41c, and the value of the first byte is stored in the start address area of the continuous 3-byte area, and the start address. The value of the second byte is stored in the area of +1 and the value of the third byte is stored in the area of the start address +2. Therefore, the start address of the area where the divisor or divisor is stored is specified, the value of the 1st and 2nd bytes is specified by specifying 2 bytes of data, the start address + 2 is specified, and 1 byte is specified. It is possible to specify the value of the third byte by specifying the data.

Further, the main control unit 41 prohibits interruption during the execution of the game machine information calculation process in which each state count process, the accessory ratio update process, the continuous accessory ratio update process, and the instruction-included accessory ratio update process are executed. It is set, and interruption is prohibited even during execution of the divisor and the divisor update process used in the 3-byte data division process and the 3-byte data division process.

32 and 33 are flowcharts showing the control contents of the 3-byte data division process executed by the main control unit 41.

In the 3-byte data division process, first, the value of the DE register in which the start address of the divisor is stored is saved on the stack (Si1), the value of the DE register is cleared (Si2), and the value of the BC register is cleared (Si2). Si3).

Next, 100 is stored in the A register (Si4), and the 1st to 2nd bytes of the divisor obtained from the area of the RAM 41c specified by the address (the start address of the divisor) stored in the HL register in the value of the DE register. Add the values (Si5).

Next, it is determined whether or not the addition result overflows (carry flag OFF) (Si6), and when the addition result overflows (carry flag ON), that is, when the addition result of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the dividend is carried. To, proceed to the step of Si7, add 1 to the value of the C register, and if the addition result is no overflow (carry flag OFF), that is, if the addition result of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the dividend does not carry, the Si8 Jump to the step. In the step of Si6, by executing a jump instruction to jump to the specified step when the carry flag is OFF, the step is jumped to the step of Si8 when the addition result is no overflow (carry flag is OFF).

Next, in the step of Si8, the value of the A register is subtracted by 1, and it is determined whether or not the subtraction result is not 0 (zero flag OFF) (Si9). If the subtraction result is 0 (zero flag ON), the Si10 If the subtraction result is not 0 (zero flag is OFF), the process proceeds to the step of Si5. In the step of Si9, by executing a jump instruction to jump to the specified step when the zero flag is OFF, the step is jumped to the step of Si5 when the subtraction result is not 0 (zero flag is OFF).

In Si4, 100 is stored in the A register, and in Si5 to Si7, the value of the A register is decremented by 1 each time the 1st and 2nd bytes of the division are added to the value of the DE register. The value of the 2nd byte is multiplied by 100. Further, since the value of the C register is added by 1 each time the carry is carried, the carry amount is reflected in the C register.

After multiplying the value of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the division by 100 with Si4 to Si9, the process of adding 1 to the address (starting address of the division) stored in the HL register is performed twice (Si10, Si11), and the HL register. The address stored in is the start address of the divisor + 2 (the address of the third byte of the divisor).

Next, 100 is stored in the A register (Si12), and the value of the C register is the value of the third byte of the division obtained from the area of RAM 41c specified by the address (starting address of the division + 2) stored in the HL register. Is added (Si13).

Next, it is determined whether or not the addition result overflows (carry flag OFF) (Si14), and when the addition result overflows (carry flag ON), that is, when the addition result of the third byte of the dividend is carried. The process proceeds to the step of Si15, the value of the B register is added by 1, and when the addition result is no overflow (carry flag OFF), that is, when the addition result of the third byte does not carry, the step is jumped to the step of Si16. In the step of Si14, by executing a jump instruction to jump to the specified step when the carry flag is OFF, the step is jumped to the step of Si16 when the addition result is no overflow (carry flag is OFF).

Next, in the step of Si16, the value of the A register is subtracted by 1, and it is determined whether or not the subtraction result is not 0 (zero flag OFF) (Si17). If the subtraction result is 0 (zero flag ON), the Si18 If the subtraction result is not 0 (zero flag is OFF), the process proceeds to the step of Si13. In the step of Si17, by executing a jump instruction to jump to the specified step when the zero flag is OFF, the step is jumped to the step of Si13 when the subtraction result is not 0 (zero flag is OFF).

In Si12, 100 is stored in the A register, and in Si13 to Si15, the value of the A register is decremented by 1 each time the third byte of the division is added to the value of the C register. Therefore, in Si13 to Si17, the third byte of the division is added. The value of is multiplied by 100. Further, since the value of the B register is added by 1 each time the carry is carried, the carry amount is reflected in the B register. As a result, the division number is multiplied by 100 in Si4 to Si17, the value of the 1st to 2nd bytes of the 100 times value of the division number is stored in the DE register, and the value of the 3rd to 4th bytes of the 100 times value of the division number is stored in the BC register. It will be stored.

After multiplying the divisor by 100 with Si4 to Si17, the start address of the divisor saved in the stack is returned to the HL register (Si18). Next, the value of the A register is cleared by exclusive-ORing the values of the A register (Si19), and the process of adding 1 to the address (the start address of the divisor) stored in the HL register is performed twice (2 times). Si20, Si21), the address stored in the HL register is the start address of the divisor + 2 (the address of the third byte of the divisor).

Next, the third byte of the divisor obtained from the area of RAM 41c specified by the address (starting address of the divisor + 2) stored in the HL register from the value of the C register, that is, the value of the third byte which is 100 times the divisor. The value of is subtracted (Si22).

Next, it is determined whether or not the subtraction result overflows (carry flag OFF) (Si23), and when the subtraction result overflows (carry flag ON), that is, the subtraction result of the third byte of 100 times the dividend is carried down. If this is the case, the process proceeds to the step of Si24, and it is determined whether or not the value of the B register is 0. If the subtraction result is no overflow (carry flag OFF), that is, the subtraction result of the third byte of 100 times the divisor is If it is not carried down, it jumps to the step of Si26. In the step of Si23, by executing a jump instruction to jump to the specified step when the carry flag is OFF, the step is jumped to the step of Si26 when the subtraction result is no overflow (carry flag is OFF).

When the value of the B register is not 0 in Si24, that is, by carrying down the value of the 4th byte of the 100-fold value of the division stored in the B register, the value of the 3rd byte of the 100-fold value of the division is divided by 3. If the value of the byte th can be subtracted, proceed to the step of Si25, subtract 1 from the value of the B register, and if the value of the B register is 0 in Si24, that is, 100 times the division number stored in the B register. If the value of the 4th byte cannot be carried down and the value of the 3rd byte of the divisor cannot be subtracted from the value of the 3rd byte which is 100 times the divisor, the step of Si35 is jumped. In the step of Si24, by executing a jump instruction to jump to the specified step when the value of the specified register is 0, the jump is made to Si35 when the value of the B register is 0.

Next, the process of subtracting 1 from the address stored in the HL register (divisor start address + 2) is performed twice (Si26, Si27), and the address stored in the HL register is used as the divisor start address.

Next, from the value of the DE register, that is, the value of the 1st to 2nd bytes of the value 100 times the divisor, the 1st to 2nd divisors obtained from the area of RAM 41c specified by the address (starting address of the divisor) stored in the HL register. The value of the second byte is subtracted (Si28).

Next, it is determined whether or not the subtraction result has no overflow (carry flag OFF) (Si29), and when the subtraction result overflows (carry flag ON), that is, the subtraction result of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the 100-fold value of the divisor is If the digit is carried down, the process proceeds to the step of Si30, and it is determined whether or not the value of the BC register is 0. If the subtraction result is no overflow (carry flag OFF), that is, the 1st to 2nd bytes of the 100 times value of the dividend. If the subtraction result of is not carried down, it jumps to the step of Si32. In the step of Si29, by executing a jump instruction to jump to the specified step when the carry flag is OFF, the step is jumped to the step of Si32 when the subtraction result is no overflow (carry flag is OFF).

When the value of the BC register is not 0 in Si30, that is, the value of the 1st to 2nd bytes of the 100 times value of the division number is carried by carrying down the value of the 3rd to 4th bytes of the 100 times value of the division number stored in the BC register. If the value of the 1st or 2nd byte of the divisor can be subtracted from, the process proceeds to the step of Si31, the value of the BC register is subtracted by 1, and if the value of the BC register is 0 in Si30, that is, it is stored in the BC register. If the value in the 3rd to 4th bytes of the 100-fold value of the division cannot be carried down and the value of the 1st or 2nd byte of the divisor cannot be subtracted from the value of the 1st or 2nd byte of the 100-fold value of the division. , Jump to the step of Si35. In the step of Si30, by executing a jump instruction to jump to the specified step when the value of the specified register is 0, the jump is made to Si35 when the value of the BC register is 0.

After adding 1 to the value of the A register in Si32, it is determined whether or not the calculation result is 0 (zero flag ON) (Si33), and if the calculation result is not 0 (zero flag OFF), the process proceeds to the step of Si34 and Si20. Jump to the step of. On the other hand, when the calculation result is 0 (zero flag ON) in Si33, that is, when the value of the A register overflows due to the addition of Si32 and the value changes from FF (H) to 00 (H), the step of Si35 is started. Jump. In the step of Si33, by executing a jump instruction to jump to the specified step when the zero flag is ON, the jump is made to Si35 when the value of the A register becomes 0 by the addition of Si32.

In Si19, the A register is cleared to 0, and in Si20 to Si34, the result of subtracting the divisor falls below 0, and the divisor is repeatedly subtracted from the 100-fold value of the dividend until the next divisor cannot be subtracted, and the divisor is subtracted. Since the value of the A register is added by 1 each time the division is performed, the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the 100 times the divisor until the result of subtracting the divisor falls below 0, that is, 100 minutes of the divisor relative to the divisor. The rate will be stored.

Also, when the result of subtracting the divisor does not fall below 0 and the value of the A register overflows to 0 and the zero flag is set, that is, when the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the 100-fold value of the divisor reaches 256 times. In Si20 to Si34, the process of subtracting the divisor from the 100-fold value of the divisor is completed.

After the process of subtracting the divisor from the 100-fold value of the divisor in Si20 to Si34 is completed, the value of the A register is compared with 100 (Si35). At this time, if the value of the A register is less than 100, the carry flag is turned on and the zero flag is turned off. If the value of the A register is 100, the carry flag is turned off and the zero flag is turned on. The flag is OFF and the zero flag is OFF. If the value of the A register is 100 or more (carry flag OFF) in the comparison of Si35, 99 is stored in the A register (Si37), and the process of the caller is returned by the return instruction. On the other hand, if the value of the A register is less than 100 in the comparison of Si35, it jumps to the return instruction and returns to the processing of the caller. As a result, when the value stored in the A register is 100 or more, it is corrected to 99.

In this way, in the 3-byte division process, the divisor is first multiplied by 100, and then the divisor is repeatedly subtracted from the 100-fold value of the divisor until the result of subtracting the divisor falls below 0, and the result of subtracting the divisor is 0. The number of times the divisor is subtracted from the 100-fold value of the divisor until it falls below is calculated as the 100% ratio of the divisor to the divisor.

In addition, normally, the divisor does not become larger than the divisor, and the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the 100 times the divisor until the result of subtracting the divisor exceeds 100, which is 100 times the divisor. The process of subtracting the divisor from the value is not performed, but when the divisor is 0 or when the divisor becomes an extremely small value as a result of data corruption, the divisor is calculated from 100 times the divisor. Even though the number of subtractions exceeds 100, the result of subtracting the divisor may not be less than 0. In such a case, the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the 100-fold value of the dividend is When a specific value (256) exceeding 100 is reached, it is determined to be abnormal and the process of subtracting the divisor from the 100-fold value of the divisor is terminated, and the process of subtracting the divisor from the 100-fold value of the divisor. Is designed to prevent it from ending.

Also, instead of counting the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the 100 times the divisor to determine whether or not a specific value exceeding 100 has been reached, the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the 100 times the divisor is stored. When the value of the A register overflows by subtracting 256 times, and the zero flag turns ON when the value of the A register overflows as a result of the operation, when the A register overflows as a result of the subtraction. It is determined that a specific value (256) exceeding 100 has been reached only by determining whether or not the set zero flag to be ON has been turned ON. Therefore, every time a divisor is subtracted from a value that is 100 times the dividend, a numerical value with a specific value as the initial value is subtracted, and when the numerical value becomes 0, it is determined that the number of subtractions has reached the specific value. The program capacity can be reduced as compared with the case where the number of subtractions is compared with a specific value and it is determined that the number of subtractions has reached a specific value when the comparison results match. It should be noted that the carry flag is turned ON when the value of the A register overflows as a result of the calculation, and whether or not the carry flag which is turned ON when the A register overflows as a result of the subtraction is turned ON is used. By making a determination, it may be determined that a specific value (256) exceeding 100 has been reached.

In addition, after subtracting the divisor from the 100-fold value of the divisor, when the zero flag is ON, the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the 100-fold value of the divisor by the jump command to jump to the specified program exceeds 100 (specific value). When 256) is reached, it is judged to be abnormal and the process of subtracting the divisor from the 100-fold value of the divisor is terminated. It is possible to move to the program that accompanies.

Further, before executing the 3-byte data division process, the start address of the RAM 41c area in which the divisor is stored is stored in the HL register, and the start address of the RAM 41c area in which the divisor is stored is stored in the DE register. In the byte data division process, the divisor is specified from the address stored in the HL register, and the divisor is specified from the address stored in the DE register. In the 3-byte division process, the divisor is multiplied by 100. Previously, the divisor storage address stored in the DE register is saved in the stack, and the DE register in which the divisor storage address is stored is used for the process of multiplying the divisor by 100, and after the process of multiplying the divisor by 100, the stack. By returning the address of the divisor saved in, the divisor is acquired and the divisor is subtracted from the value 100 times the divisor, and the divisor is specified while protecting the address that specifies the divisor. A 100-fold value of the division can be calculated using the register in which the address is stored.

Further, the main control unit 41 can perform operations of a maximum of 2 bytes, but since the division and the divisor are values that can be 3 bytes, the processing of multiplying the division by 100 and the processing of subtracting the divisor from the value of 100 times the division. In, the operation of the 1st and 2nd bytes and the operation of the 3rd byte are performed separately, and even if the value of 100 times the divisor or the divisor exceeds the calculable 2 bytes, the divisor of the divisor The percentage can be calculated.

Further, the percentage of the divisor to the divisor is displayed on the two-digit display of the game machine information display 50, but when the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the 100-fold value of the divisor is 100 or more. , 99, and is displayed on a two-digit display when the percentage value of the divisor to the divisor calculated from the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the 100-fold value of the divisor is 100 or more. Even if it is displayed, it is displayed at 99, which is the maximum value that can be displayed, so that it is possible to recognize that the percentage of the division to the divisor is a large value of 99% or more.

In addition, interruption is prohibited during the execution of the divisor and the divisor update process used in the 3-byte data division process and the 3-byte data division process, and the divisor and the divisor are updated for the period and the divisor. By executing the interruption process during the period in which the percentage of the division is calculated, it is possible to prevent the numerical values for calculating the division, the division, and the percentage of the division to the divisor from being destroyed and becoming unintended values.

[About a modified example of 3-byte data division processing]
Next, a modified example of the 3-byte data division process will be described.

In the 3-byte data division process of this embodiment, the divisor is first multiplied by 100, and then the divisor is repeatedly subtracted from the 100-fold value of the divisor until the result of subtracting the divisor falls below 0, and the result of subtracting the divisor is the result. The number of times the divisor is subtracted from the 100-fold value of the divisor until it falls below 0 is calculated as the 100-division ratio of the divisor to the divisor, whereas in the 3-byte data division process of the modified example, the divisor is first multiplied by 200 and then the divisor. The divisor is repeatedly subtracted from the 200-fold value of the dividend until the result of subtracting the divisor is less than 0, and the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the 200-fold value of the divisor until the result of subtracting the divisor is less than 0 is halved. The multiplied value is calculated as a 100% ratio of the divisor to the divisor.

34 and 35 are flowcharts showing the control contents of a modification of the 3-byte data division process. Here, only the points different from the 3-byte data division processing shown in FIGS. 33 and 34 will be described.

In a modified example of the 3-byte division process, 200 is stored in the A register in Si4, and the value of the A register is decremented by 1 each time the 1st and 2nd bytes of the divisor are added to the value of the DE register in Si5 and Si7. Therefore, in Si4 to Si9, the value of the 1st to 2nd bytes of the divisor is multiplied by 200. Further, in Si12, 200 is stored in the A register, and in Si13 to Si15, the value of the A register is decremented by 1 each time the third byte of the divisor is added to the value of the C register. Therefore, in Si13 to Si17, the divisor is 3 The value of the byte th is multiplied by 200. As a result, the division number is multiplied by 200 in Si4 to Si17, the value of the 1st to 2nd bytes of the value 200 times the division number is stored in the DE register, and the value of the 3rd to 4th bytes of the value 200 times the division number is stored in the BC register. It will be stored.

Further, in the modified example of the 3-byte division process, the A register is cleared in Si19 and becomes 0, the result of subtracting the divisor in Si20 to Si34 is less than 0, and the divisor is divided from the 200 times value of the dividend until it cannot be subtracted in the next divisor. Is repeatedly subtracted, and the value of the A register is added by 1 each time the divisor is subtracted. Therefore, the divisor is subtracted from the 200-fold value of the dividend until the result of subtracting the divisor falls below 0. The number of times it was done is stored. Further, after the process of subtracting the divisor from the 200-fold value of the divisor in Si20 to Si34 is completed, the step is jumped to the step of Si34.5. In Si34.5, the value of the A register is shifted to the right by 1 bit. By doing so, the value of the A register, that is, the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the 200-fold value of the divisor until the result of subtracting the divisor falls below 0, is multiplied by 1/2, so that the A register has 100 minutes of the divisor to the divisor. The rate will be stored.

Also, when the result of subtracting the divisor does not fall below 0 and the value of the A register overflows to 0 and the zero flag is set, that is, when the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the value 200 times the divisor reaches 256 times. In Si20 to Si34, the process of subtracting the divisor from the value 200 times the divisor is completed.

In this way, in the modified example of the 3-byte division process, the divisor is first multiplied by 200, and then the divisor is repeatedly subtracted from the 200-fold value of the divisor until the result of subtracting the divisor is less than 0, and the result of subtracting the divisor. The value obtained by multiplying the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the 200-fold value of the divisor by 1/2 is calculated as the 100% ratio of the divisor to the divisor until is less than 0. As a result, it is possible to calculate a more accurate ratio than calculating the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the 100-fold value of the divisor until the result of subtracting the divisor is less than 0 as the 100% ratio of the divisor to the divisor.

In addition, normally, the divisor does not become larger than the divisor, and the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the 200-fold value of the divisor until the result of subtracting the divisor is less than 0 exceeds 200, which is 200 times the divisor. The process of subtracting the divisor from the value is not performed, but when the divisor is 0 or when the divisor becomes an extremely small value as a result of data corruption, the divisor is calculated from the value 200 times the divisor. Even though the number of subtractions exceeds 200, the result of subtracting the divisor may not be less than 0. In such a case, the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the 200-fold value of the dividend is When a specific value (256) exceeding 200 is reached, it is judged to be abnormal and the process of subtracting the divisor from the 200 times value of the division is terminated, and the process of subtracting the divisor from the 200 times value of the division is terminated. Is designed to prevent it from ending.

Also, instead of counting the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the 200-fold value of the divisor to determine whether or not a specific value exceeding 200 has been reached, the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the 200-fold value of the divisor is stored. When the value of the A register overflows by subtracting 256 times, and the zero flag turns ON when the value of the A register overflows as a result of the operation, when the A register overflows as a result of the subtraction. Only by determining whether or not the set zero flag to be ON is ON, it is determined that a specific value (256) exceeding 200 has been reached. Therefore, every time a divisor is subtracted from a value 200 times the divisor, a numerical value with a specific value as the initial value is subtracted, and when the numerical value becomes 0, it is determined that the number of subtractions has reached the specific value. The program capacity can be reduced as compared with the case where the number of subtractions is compared with a specific value and it is determined that the number of subtractions has reached a specific value when the comparison results match. It should be noted that the carry flag is turned ON when the value of the A register overflows as a result of the calculation, and whether or not the carry flag which is turned ON when the A register overflows as a result of subtraction is turned ON as a result of the subtraction. By making a determination, it may be determined that a specific value (256) exceeding 200 has been reached.

In addition, after subtracting the divisor from the 200-fold value of the divisor, when the zero flag is ON, the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the 200-fold value of the divisor by the jump command to jump to the specified program exceeds 200 (specific value). When 256) is reached, it is judged to be abnormal and the process of subtracting the divisor from the value 200 times the divisor is terminated. It is possible to move to the program that accompanies.

Further, before executing the 3-byte data division process, the start address of the RAM 41c area in which the divisor is stored is stored in the HL register, and the start address of the RAM 41c area in which the divisor is stored is stored in the DE register. In the byte data division process, the divisor is specified from the address stored in the HL register, and the divisor is specified from the address stored in the DE register. In the 3-byte division process, the divisor is multiplied by 200. Previously, the divisor storage address stored in the DE register is saved in the stack, and the DE register in which the divisor storage address is stored is used for the process of multiplying the divisor by 200, and after the process of multiplying the divisor by 200, the stack. By returning the address of the divisor saved in, the divisor is acquired and the divisor is subtracted from the value 200 times the divisor, and the divisor is specified while protecting the address that specifies the divisor. A 200-fold value of the division can be calculated using the register in which the address is stored.

Further, the main control unit 41 can calculate a maximum of 2 bytes, but since the division and the divisor are values that can be 3 bytes, the process of multiplying the division by 200 and the process of subtracting the divisor from the value of 200 times the division. In, the operation of the 1st and 2nd bytes and the operation of the 3rd byte are performed separately, and even if the value 200 times the divisor or the divisor exceeds the calculable 2 bytes, the divisor of the divisor The percentage can be calculated.

Further, the percentage of the divisor to the divisor is displayed on the two-digit display of the game machine information display 50, but is a value obtained by multiplying the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the value 200 times the divisor by 1/2. Is 100 or more, it is corrected to 99, and when the value of the percentage of the divisor to the divisor calculated from the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the value 200 times the divisor is 100 or more, Even when it is displayed on a two-digit display, it is displayed at 99, which is the maximum value that can be displayed, so that it is possible to recognize that the percentage of the division to the divisor is a large value of 99% or more.

[About 3-byte data addition / storage processing]
Next, the main control unit 41 performs the bonus payout ratio, the continuous bonus payout ratio, and the instruction-added bonus in each state count process, the bonus ratio update process, the continuous bonus ratio update process, and the instruction-added bonus ratio update process. It can be executed when adding 3 bytes of data used to calculate the payout ratio, especially when there is a possibility that the added data such as the number of games (total cumulative total) and the total cumulative payout number will overflow. The 3-byte data addition / storage process will be described.

The main control unit 41 stores the start address of the area of the RAM 41c in which the data to be added is stored in the HL register, stores the added value in the DE register, and then executes the 3-byte data addition / storage process to perform the HL. When the addition value stored in the DE register is added to the addition target data specified from the address stored in the register and the addition result overflows, the addition target data becomes the value before adding the addition value. When the data is returned and the carry flag is turned ON, it is specified that the data overflows by adding the data to be added. The data to be added has a maximum value of 3 bytes and is stored in a continuous 3-byte area of the RAM 41c, and the value of the first byte is stored in the area of the start address of the continuous 3-byte area and the start address. The value of the second byte is stored in the area of +1 and the value of the third byte is stored in the area of the start address +2. Therefore, the start address of the area where the address to be added is stored is specified, the value of the 1st and 2nd bytes is specified by specifying the 2-byte data, the start address + 2 is specified, and the 1-byte data is specified. It is possible to specify the value of the third byte by specifying the data.

Further, the main control unit 41 prohibits interrupts during execution of the gaming machine information calculation process in which each state count process, bonus ratio update process, continuous bonus ratio update process, and instruction-included bonus ratio update process are executed. It is set, and interrupts are prohibited even during execution of 3-byte data addition / storage processing.

FIG. 36 is a flowchart showing the control contents of the 3-byte data addition / storage process executed by the main control unit 41.

In the 3-byte data addition / storage process, first, the values of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the addition target data acquired from the area of the RAM 41c specified by the address stored in the HL register (the start address of the addition target data) are acquired. , Stored in the BC register (Sj1).

Next, the added value stored in the DE register is added to the value of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added stored in the BC register (Sj2), and the value of the BC register is added to the address stored in the HL register. By storing in the area of RAM 41c specified in (start address of data to be added), the values of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added stored in RAM 41c are updated to the data to which the added value is added (Sj3). ).

Next, it is determined whether or not the addition result of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added in Sj2 has overflowed (carry flag ON) (Sj4), and when the addition result has no overflow (carry flag OFF), that is, the addition target. If the addition result of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data does not carry, the return instruction returns to the caller's processing. In the step of Sj4, the return instruction for returning to the processing of the caller when the carry flag is OFF is executed, so that the processing of the caller is returned when the addition result is no overflow (carry flag is OFF).

If the addition result overflows in Sj4 (carry flag is ON), that is, if the addition result of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added is carried, the process proceeds to the step of Sj5, and the carry flag is inverted and cleared. Then, the carry flag is turned off.

Next, the process of adding 1 to the address stored in the HL register (the start address of the data to be added) is performed twice (Sj6, Sj7), and the address stored in the HL register is added to the start address of the data to be added +2. (The address of the third byte of the data to be added).

Next, 1 is added to the value of the area of RAM 41c specified by the address stored in the HL register (the address of the third byte of the data to be added), that is, the value of the third byte of the data to be added (Sj8), 1 ~ Reflects the carry due to the addition of the second byte.

Next, it is determined whether or not the addition result of the third byte of the data to be added in Sj8 is no overflow (zero flag OFF) (Sj9), and when the addition result is no overflow (zero flag OFF), that is, 3 bytes of the data to be added. If the result of adding the eyes does not carry, the return instruction returns to the caller's processing. In the step of Sj9, by executing the return instruction to return to the processing of the caller when the zero flag is OFF, the processing of the caller is returned when the addition result is no overflow (zero flag is OFF).

If the addition result overflows in Sj9 (zero flag is ON), that is, the addition result of the third byte of the data to be added is carried, and further update is not possible, the process proceeds to the step of Sj10. The value of the area of RAM 41c specified by the address stored in the HL register (the address of the 3rd byte of the data to be added), that is, the value of the 3rd byte of the data to be added is subtracted by 1 (Sj10), and 1 to 2 bytes. It is the value before the carry due to the addition of the eyes is reflected.

Next, the process of subtracting 1 from the address stored in the HL register (start address of data to be added + 2) is performed twice (Sj11, Sj12), and the address stored in the HL register is the start address of the data to be added. (Address of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added).

Next, the added value stored in the DE register is subtracted from the values in the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added stored in the BC register (Sj13). Since the value obtained by adding the added value of the DE register to the value of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added in Sj2 is held in the BC register without being cleared, the DE register is stored from the value stored in the BC register. By subtracting the added value stored in, it becomes the value of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added before the addition. Further, since the subtraction result of Sj13 always overflows, the carry flag is turned ON.

Next, by storing the value of the BC register in the area of the RAM 41c specified by the address stored in the HL register (the start address of the data to be added), 1 to 2 bytes of the data to be added stored in the RAM 41c. The value of the eye is returned to the data before the added value is added (Sj14).

Then, by executing the return instruction, the process of the caller is restored.

In this way, in the 3-byte data addition / storage process, the addition value stored in the DE register is added to the addition target data specified from the address stored in the HL register, and when the addition result overflows, The data to be added is returned to the value before the addition value is added, and the bonus payout ratio, continuous bonus payout ratio, and instruction-included bonus payout ratio are calculated using unintended data. Can be prevented. In particular, as a result of the overflow of 3-byte data, the divisor becomes larger than the divisor when calculating the ratio, so that it is possible to prevent an inaccurate ratio from being calculated.

In addition, when the addition result overflows, the carry flag is turned ON at the end of the 3-byte data addition / storage process, and there is a high possibility that the data will overflow by adding the data to be added thereafter. Is specified, and then, by limiting the addition of the corresponding data, unnecessary processing can be avoided.

Further, the main control unit 41 can perform a maximum of 2 bytes of calculation, but since the data to be added has a value that can be 3 bytes, in the process of adding the added value to the data to be added, 1 to 1 of the data to be added When the addition result of the 1st and 2nd bytes overflows after the addition of the 2nd byte, the 3rd byte of the data to be added is added, and the data to be added can be calculated in 2 bytes. Even if it exceeds, the data to be added can be added.

If the addition result overflows after the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added are added, the carry flag is turned ON and it is possible to identify the overflow, and then the carry flag is cleared. After turning it off, the third byte of the data to be added is added, and after clearing the specific flag that turns ON when the addition result of the first and second bytes of the data to be added overflows, the addition is performed. Since the addition of the third byte of the target data is performed, it is possible to accurately determine whether or not the addition result of the third byte of the target data has overflowed by the specific flag.

Further, after the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added are added, the value of the BC register used for the addition of the 1st and 2nd bytes is retained without being cleared, and the 3rd byte of the data to be added is added. When the addition is performed and the addition result of the 3rd byte overflows, the value of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added is returned to the value before the addition by using the value of the BC register. Since it is not necessary to read the numerical value to return the data to the value before addition, the program can be simplified.

In addition, interrupting is prohibited during the execution of 3-byte data addition / storage processing, and the addition target data is destroyed by executing the interrupt processing during the period when the addition target data is updated. It is possible to prevent the ratio from being calculated using an unintended numerical value.

[About 3-byte data 1-byte addition processing]
Next, it can be executed when the main control unit 41 adds 3 bytes of data in the bonus ratio update process, the continuous bonus ratio update process, and the instruction-included bonus ratio update process, and in particular, the prize payout (6000 cumulative totals). ), Disbursement of additional characters (cumulative 6000), withdrawal of continuous characters (cumulative 6000), withdrawal of additional characters with instructions (cumulative 6000), etc. The addition process will be described.

The main control unit 41 stores the start address of the area of the RAM 41c in which the data to be added is stored in the HL register, stores the added value in the B register, and then executes the 3-byte data 1-byte addition process to perform the HL. The added value stored in the B register is added to the data to be added specified from the address stored in the register. The data to be added has a maximum value of 3 bytes and is stored in a continuous 3-byte area of the RAM 41c, and the value of the first byte is stored in the area of the start address of the continuous 3-byte area and the start address. The value of the second byte is stored in the area of +1 and the value of the third byte is stored in the area of the start address +2. Therefore, the start address of the area where the address to be added is stored is specified, the value of the 1st and 2nd bytes is specified by specifying the 2-byte data, the start address + 2 is specified, and the 1-byte data is specified. It is possible to specify the value of the third byte by specifying the data.

Further, the main control unit 41 prohibits interrupts during execution of the gaming machine information calculation process in which each state count process, bonus ratio update process, continuous bonus ratio update process, and instruction-included bonus ratio update process are executed. It is set, and interrupts are prohibited even during execution of 3-byte data 1-byte addition processing.

FIG. 37A is a flowchart showing the control contents of the 3-byte data 1-byte addition process executed by the main control unit 41.

In the 3-byte data 1-byte addition process, first, 1 used at the time of carry is stored in the C register (Sk1), and from the area of RAM 41c specified by the address stored in the HL register (the start address of the data to be added). The values of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the acquired data to be added are acquired and stored in the DE register (Sk2).

Next, the added value stored in the B register is stored in the A register (Sk3), and the added value stored in the A register is added to the values of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added stored in the DE register. (Sk4), By storing the value of the DE register in the area of RAM 41c specified by the address stored in the HL register (the start address of the data to be added), 1 to 1 of the data to be added stored in RAM 41c. The value of the second byte is updated to the data to which the added value is added (Sk5).

Next, it is determined whether or not the addition result of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the addition target data in Sk4 overflows (carry flag ON) (Sk6), and when the addition result overflows (carry flag ON), that is, the addition target data. When the addition result of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the above is carried, the step is jumped to Sk8, and when the addition result is no overflow (carry flag OFF), that is, the addition result of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added. If does not carry, the process proceeds to the Sk7 step, 0 is stored in the C register, and then the Sk8 step is performed. In the Sk6 step, by executing a jump instruction to jump to the specified step when the carry flag is ON, the jump is made to jump to the Sk8 step when the addition result overflows (carry flag is ON).

In Sk8, the carry flag is cleared and turned off. Next, the process of adding 1 to the address stored in the HL register (the start address of the data to be added) is performed twice (Sk9, Sk10), and the address stored in the HL register is added to the start address of the data to be added +2. (The address of the third byte of the data to be added).

Next, the value of the area of RAM 41c specified by the address stored in the HL register (the address of the third byte of the data to be added), that is, the value of the third byte of the data to be added is acquired and added to the value of the C register. (Sk11), the value of the C register after addition is stored in the RAM 41c by storing it in the area of the RAM 41c specified by the address stored in the HL register (the address of the third byte of the data to be added). The value of the third byte of the data to be added is updated to the value of the C register (Sk12). At this time, when the addition result overflows (carry flag ON) in Sk6, that is, when the addition result of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added is carried, 1 is stored in the C register, so the addition is performed. The carry by adding the 1st and 2nd bytes is reflected in the value of the 3rd byte of the target data. On the other hand, in Sk6, when the addition result does not overflow (carry flag is OFF), that is, when the addition result of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added does not carry, 0 is stored in the C register, so the addition is performed. The value of the third byte of the target data does not change.

Next, the value of the HL register is added by 1 (Sk13) to be the start address of the next data to be added, and the process of the caller is restored by the return instruction.

In this way, in the 3-byte data 1-byte addition process, the addition value stored in the B register is added to the addition target data specified from the address stored in the HL register.

Also, regardless of whether the value of the 1st or 2nd byte of the data to be added carries, after setting 1 in the C register, the value of the 1st or 2nd byte of the data to be added does not carry. Changes the value of the C register from 1 to 0 by setting 0 in the C register, and then the C register regardless of whether or not the value of the 1st or 2nd byte of the data to be added is carried. When the value of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added is carried by adding the value of to the value of the 3rd byte of the data to be added, the value of the 3rd byte of the data to be added is changed. When 1 is added and the carry is reflected, but the value of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added does not carry, the value of the 3rd byte of the data to be added does not change and the addition is made. Set 1 in the C register and set it in the C register regardless of whether the value of the 1st or 2nd byte of the target data carries or the value of the 1st or 2nd byte of the data to be added does not carry. When the value of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added is carried by performing the common process of adding the added value to the value of the 3rd byte of the data to be added, the 3rd byte of the data to be added is carried. 1 can be added to the value of, and if the value of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added does not carry, the value of the 3rd byte of the data to be added can be prevented from being updated.

Therefore, when the 3-byte data 1-byte addition process is executed and the values of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added do not carry, Sk1, Sk2, and Sk3 are shown in FIG. 37 (b). , Sk4, Sk5, Sk6, Sk7, Sk8, Sk9, Sk10, Sk11, Sk12, Sk13, and when the value of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added is carried, FIG. 37 (c) As shown in, the steps of Sk1, Sk2, Sk3, Sk4, Sk5, Sk6, Sk8, Sk9, Sk10, Sk11, Sk12, and Sk13 are executed, and the values of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added are digits. All the steps constituting the 3-byte data 1-byte addition process are executed without waiting for the data to rise.

In addition, interrupting is prohibited during the execution of 3-byte data 1-byte addition processing, and the addition target data is destroyed by executing the interrupt processing during the period when the addition target data is updated. It is possible to prevent unintended numerical values.

Further, if the addition result overflows after the addition of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added, the carry flag is turned ON and it becomes possible to identify the overflow, and then the carry flag is cleared. After turning it off, the third byte of the data to be added is added, and after clearing the specific flag that turns ON when the addition result of the first and second bytes of the data to be added overflows, the addition is performed. Since the third byte of the target data is added, it can be accurately determined by the carry flag every time the calculation result overflows.

[Conventional 3-byte data addition processing]
FIG. 38A is a flowchart showing the control contents of the conventional 3-byte data addition process. In the conventional 3-byte data addition process, the start address of the area of the RAM 41c in which the data to be added is stored is stored in the HL register, and the addition value is stored in the DE register.

In the conventional 3-byte data addition process, first, the values of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the addition target data acquired from the area of the RAM 41c specified by the address (the start address of the addition target data) stored in the HL register are acquired. , Stored in the BC register (Sk001).

Next, the added value stored in the DE register is added to the value of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added stored in the BC register (Sk002), and the value of the BC register is added to the address stored in the HL register. By storing in the area of RAM 41c specified by (start address of data to be added), the values of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added stored in RAM 41c are updated to the data to which the added value is added (Sk003). ).

Next, it is determined whether or not the addition result of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added in Sk002 has overflowed (carry flag ON) (Sk004), and when the addition result has no overflow (carry flag OFF), that is, the addition target. If the addition result of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data does not carry, the process of jumping to the Sk010 step and adding 1 to the address stored in the HL register (the start address of the data to be added) is performed three times. (Sk010, Sk011, Sk012), the start address of the next data to be added is set, and the process of the caller is restored by the return instruction.

If the addition result overflows in Sk002 (carry flag is ON), that is, if the addition result of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added is carried, the process proceeds to Sk005, the carry flag is cleared, and the carry flag is set. Turn it off.

Next, the process of adding 1 to the address stored in the HL register (the start address of the data to be added) is performed twice (Sk006, Sk007), and the address stored in the HL register is added to the start address of the data to be added +2. (The address of the third byte of the data to be added).

Next, 1 is added to the value of the area of RAM 41c specified by the address stored in the HL register (the address of the third byte of the data to be added), that is, the value of the third byte of the data to be added (Sk008), 1 ~ Reflects the carry due to the addition of the second byte.

Next, the process proceeds to Sk009, jumps to Sk012, the value of the HL register is added by 1, the start address of the next data to be added is set, and the process of the caller is returned by the return instruction.

In this way, in the conventional 3-byte data addition process, when the addition result of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added is carried, the value of the 3rd byte is added, while 1 of the data to be added is 1. If the addition result of the 2nd byte does not carry, the process of adding the value of the 3rd byte is not performed.

Therefore, when the conventional 3-byte data addition process is executed and the values of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added do not carry, as shown in FIG. 38 (b), Sk001, Sk002, Sk003 , Sk004, Sk010, Sk011, Sk012, and when the values of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added carry, as shown in FIG. 38 (c), Sk001, Sk002, Sk003, Sk004 , Sk005, Sk006, Sk007, Sk008, Sk009, Sk012, and the addition target data whose update is started from 0 until the value of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the addition target data is carried. The steps Sk005, Sk006, Sk007, Sk008, and Sk009 are not executed until the change from 00FFFF (H) to 010000 (H).

[About checking the program]
In a gaming machine such as a slot machine or a pachinko gaming machine, if an unused program is included, there is a possibility that an illegal act such as performing an illegal operation using the program may be performed. Therefore, ROM 41b It is required that all the programs stored in the ROM 41b be executed, and it is necessary to carry out a test for confirming that all the programs stored in the ROM 41b are executed. The program stored in the ROM 41b can be identified by the address of the area in which the program is stored, and in the test for confirming that all the programs are executed, the program is executed and the program is stored. By checking whether or not the program stored in the storage area (address area) of each address has been executed for each address of the area, it is confirmed that all the programs stored in the ROM 41b are executed. It has become.

In conducting a test to confirm that all programs are executed, when the addition result of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added is carried, as in the conventional 3-byte data addition process, when the addition result is carried. While the process of adding the value of the 3rd byte is performed, if the addition result of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added does not carry, the value of the 3rd byte is added if the process is not performed. It is stored in a part of the address area until the value of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the target data is carried, that is, until the addition target data whose update is started from 0 changes from 00FFFF (H) to 010000 (H). Since the new program (Sk005 to Sk009 program) is not executed, it is confirmed that all the programs constituting the 3-byte data addition process are executed until the data to be added changes from 00FFFF (H) to 010000 (H). It will take a lot of time to complete the test.

On the other hand, in the 3-byte data 1-byte addition process of this embodiment, even when the values of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added carry, the values of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added carry. Even if it is not, by setting 1 in the C register and executing a common program (program of Sk8 to Sk12) that adds the value set in the C register to the value of the third byte of the data to be added, it is possible to execute the program. When the value of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added is carried, 1 is added to the value of the 3rd byte of the data to be added, but the value of the 1st and 2nd bytes of the data to be added is not carried. In this case, since the value of the third byte of the data to be added can be prevented from being updated, the data to be added whose update is started from 0 does not have to wait for the data to be added to change from 00FFFF (H) to 010000 (H). By executing a program that adds the value set in the C register to the value of the third byte of the data to be added, the program of the 3-byte data addition process including the address area in which the programs of Sk8 to Sk12 are stored is stored. It is possible to confirm that all the programs in the address area have been executed, and the time required to complete the test can be significantly reduced.

[Action effect 1]
In this embodiment, in the 3-byte data division process, the main control unit 41 repeatedly subtracts the divisor from the 100-fold value of the divisor until the result of subtracting the divisor is less than 0 after multiplying the divisor by 100. By adding 1 to the value of the A register each time the divisor is subtracted, the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the 100-fold value of the divisor until the result of subtracting the divisor falls below 0 is counted, and the divisor of 100 with respect to the divisor is counted. Calculated as a division. In addition, the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the 100 times the divisor is stored in the A register where the specific flag is set when the specific value exceeds 100, and the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the 100 times the divisor is calculated. When a specific value exceeding 100 is reached and a specific flag is set, it is determined that there is an abnormality and the process of subtracting the divisor from the 100 times value of the divisor is terminated.

With such a configuration, when calculating the percentage of the divisor to the divisor, a 100-fold value of the divisor is calculated, the divisor is subtracted from the 100-fold value of the divisor until it falls below the divisor, and the number of subtractions is relative to the divisor. It can be calculated as a percentage of the division. In such a configuration, for example, when the divisor is 0, even if the number of subtractions exceeds 100 which can be taken as a percentage, the result of subtracting the divisor from the 100 times value of the dividend may not be less than 0. In that case, the number of subtractions becomes a specific value exceeding 100, and by setting a specific flag, it is determined that an abnormality is performed and the process of subtracting the divisor from the 100 times value of the divisor is terminated. Even if the result of subtracting the divisor from the value of 100 times is not less than 0, the subtraction of the divisor can be completed.

In addition, the number of subtractions is stored in the A register where the specific flag is set when the stored numerical value becomes a specific value, so that the number of subtractions can be specified only by determining whether or not the specific flag is set. Since it can be determined that the value has been reached, a numerical value with a specific value as the initial value is subtracted each time the divisor is subtracted from the 100-fold value of the divisor, and when the value becomes 0, the number of subtractions is the specific value. The program capacity can be reduced compared to the one that determines that the number of subtractions has become a specific value, or the one that compares the number of subtractions with a specific value and determines that the number of subtractions has reached a specific value when the comparison results match. ..

In this embodiment, in the 3-byte data division process, the divisor storage address stored in the DE register is saved on the stack before the process of multiplying the divisor by 100. With such a configuration, it is possible to calculate a value 100 times the divisor by using the DE register in which the address that specifies the divisor is stored while protecting the address that specifies the divisor.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 can perform operations of a maximum of 2 bytes, but since the division and the divisor are values that can be 3 bytes, the process of multiplying the division by 100 and the division from the value of 100 times the division are calculated. In the subtraction process, the operations of the 1st and 2nd bytes and the operation of the 3rd byte are performed separately. With such a configuration, the percentage of the divisor to the divisor can be calculated even when the divisor or a 100-fold value of the divisor exceeds 2 bytes, which is the size that can be calculated.

In this embodiment, in the 3-byte data division process, the abnormal processing performed when the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the 100-fold value of the divisor reaches a specific value exceeding 100 and the specific flag is set is 100 times the divisor. After subtracting the divisor from the value, when a specific flag is set, the process of subtracting the divisor from the 100-fold value of the divisor is terminated by the jump instruction to jump to the specified program. With such a configuration, it is possible to determine whether or not a specific flag is set by one jump instruction and to move to a specified program due to abnormal processing.

In the modified example of the 3-byte data division process in this embodiment, after multiplying the divisor by 200, the divisor is repeatedly subtracted from the 200-fold value of the divisor until the result of subtracting the divisor falls below 0, and the divisor is subtracted. By adding 1 to the value of the A register each time, the number of times the divisor was subtracted from the 200-fold value of the divisor until the result of subtracting the divisor fell below 0 was counted, and the number of times counted was multiplied by 1/2. The value is calculated as a percentage of the divisor to the divisor. In addition, the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the value 200 times the divisor is stored in the A register where the specific flag is set when the specific value exceeds 200, and the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the value 200 times the divisor is calculated. When a specific value exceeding 200 is reached and a specific flag is set, it is determined that there is an abnormality and the process of subtracting the divisor from the value 200 times the divisor is terminated.

With such a configuration, when calculating the percentage of the divisor to the divisor, the value of 200 times the divisor is calculated, the divisor is subtracted from the value of 200 times the divisor until it falls below the divisor, and the number of subtractions is reduced to 1 /. The doubled value can be calculated as the percentage of the dividend to the divisor. In such a configuration, for example, when the divisor is 0, even if the value obtained by multiplying the number of subtractions by 1/2 exceeds 100, which can be taken as a percentage, the result of subtracting the divisor from the value 200 times the divisor does not fall below 0. In this case, the number of subtractions becomes a specific value exceeding 200 and a specific flag is set, so that the process of determining an abnormality and terminating the process of subtracting the divisor from the value 200 times the division is performed. By doing so, even if the result of subtracting the divisor from the value 200 times the divisor does not fall below 0, the subtraction of the divisor can be completed.

Further, since the number of subtractions is stored in the A register in which the specific flag is set when the stored numerical value becomes a specific value, the number of subtractions is a specific value only by determining whether or not the specific flag is set. Since it can be determined that the value is, every time the divisor is subtracted from the value 200 times the divisor, the value with the specific value as the initial value is subtracted, and when the value becomes 0, the number of subtractions becomes the specific value. It is possible to reduce the program capacity as compared with the one that determines that the number of subtractions has been obtained or the one that compares the number of subtractions with a specific value and determines that the number of subtractions has reached a specific value when the comparison results match.

In the modified example of the 3-byte data division process in this embodiment, the storage address of the divisor stored in the DE register is saved in the stack before calculating the value 200 times the divisor. With such a configuration, it is possible to calculate a value 200 times the divisor by using the DE register in which the address that specifies the divisor is stored while protecting the address that specifies the divisor.

In the modified example of the 3-byte data division process in this embodiment, the main control unit 41 can perform an operation of a maximum of 2 bytes, but since the divisor and the divisor are values that can be 3 bytes, the process of multiplying the divisor by 200. In the process of subtracting the divisor from the value 200 times the divisor, the operations of the 1st and 2nd bytes and the operation of the 3rd byte are performed separately. With such a configuration, the percentage of the divisor to the divisor can be calculated even when the divisor or a 200-fold value of the divisor exceeds 2 bytes, which is the size that can be calculated.

In the modified example of the 3-byte data division process in this embodiment, when the number of times the divisor is subtracted from the 200-fold value of the dividend in the 3-byte data division process reaches a specific value exceeding 200 and a specific flag is set, the line is set. The abnormal processing is performed by subtracting the divisor from the value of 200 times the division and adding 1 to the value of the A register, and when a specific flag is set, the jump instruction to jump to the specified program is 200 times the division. The configuration is such that the process of subtracting the divisor from the value is terminated. With such a configuration, it is possible to determine whether or not a specific flag is set by one jump instruction and to move to a specified program due to abnormal processing.

In this embodiment, the specific value is 256 in which the A register included in the main control unit 41 overflows. With such a configuration, when the number of subtractions stored in the A register overflows, the zero flag or the carry flag as a specific flag is turned ON, and it can be specified that the number of subtractions has reached a specific value.

In this embodiment, when the percentage of the divisor calculated from the number of subtractions stored in the A register included in the main control unit 41 is 100 or more, the division is corrected to 99. With such a configuration, when the percentage of the division to the divisor calculated from the number of subtractions stored in the A register is 100 or more, it can be displayed even if it is displayed as a two-digit number. Since it is displayed at the maximum value of 99, it is possible to recognize that the percentage of the dividend to the divisor is a large value of 99% or more.

In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 can execute a main process that performs processing step by step and a timer interrupt process that interrupts the process that is being executed periodically, and updates the divisor and the divisor in the main process. , The 3-byte data division process is performed in the main process, and the 100% ratio of the divisor to the divisor is calculated. Then, interrupt is prohibited during the period when the divisor and the divisor are updated and the period when the percentage of the divisor to the divisor is calculated, and the execution of the timer interrupt process is prohibited. With such a configuration, the timer interrupt process is executed during the period when the divisor and the divisor are updated and the period when the percentage of the divisor to the divisor is calculated, so that the divisor, the divisor, and the percentage of the divisor to the divisor are calculated. It is possible to prevent the numerical value at the time of calculation from being destroyed and becoming an unintended numerical value.

Is a game auxiliary display by initializing the output buffer of the game auxiliary display 12 when a display (navigation number or the number of payouts) other than the error code or the setting code is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12. 12 is hidden.

Further, the main control unit 41 is executing the navigation notification, and in a state where the navigation number (1 to 13) indicating the operation mode is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12, the power supply is stopped, and then the power is supplied. When the ON state of the setting key switch 37 is not detected when the supply is restarted and the state is returned to the running state of the navigation notification before the power supply is stopped, the output buffer of the game auxiliary display 12 is initially initialized. By changing the position, the game auxiliary display 12 is hidden. In this case, the main control unit 41 converts the navigation number indicating the operation mode into display data at the timing when the reel rotates at a constant speed and the stop operation is enabled after the reel rotation is restarted by the reel stop process. By setting the output buffer of the game auxiliary display 12 again, it is possible to display the navigation numbers (1 to 13) indicating the operation mode on the game auxiliary display 12.

With such a configuration, the set value is set even when the power supply is stopped while the display data of the number of payouts is set and the set value is set when the power supply is started. Even if there is no such data, the display data of the number of payouts is deleted and the game auxiliary display 12 is hidden. Therefore, when the store is closed, the power is displayed in the state where the display data of the number of payouts is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12. Even if the supply is stopped, it is possible to prevent the setting value from being specified depending on whether or not the display based on the display data of the number of payouts is displayed on the game auxiliary display 12 when the store opens the next day. .. Further, the setting key switch 37 is turned on when the power supply is restarted after the power supply is stopped while the navigation numbers (1 to 13) indicating the operation mode are displayed on the game auxiliary display 12. When returning to the running state of the navigation notification before the power supply is stopped without detecting, the game auxiliary display 12 is hidden, but after the reel rotation is resumed, the reel rotates at a constant speed. Since the operation display data is set in the output buffer of the game auxiliary display 12 on condition that the stop operation is enabled, the reels rotate at a constant speed after the power supply is restarted, and the stop operation is enabled. At the same timing, the display of the navigation numbers (1 to 13) indicating the operation mode can be restarted on the game auxiliary display 12.
