(Symbol arrangement on reel 20)
Next, the symbol arrangement on the reels 20 will be explained using FIG. 6.

Each reel 20 has "20" symbols arranged on it, including a red seven symbol FIGa, a BAR symbol FIGb, a cherry symbol FIGc, a first bell symbol FIGd, a second bell symbol FIGe, and a third bell symbol FIGe. A bell pattern FIGf, a fourth bell pattern FIGg, a first plum pattern FIGh, a second plum pattern FIGi, and a replay pattern FIGj are arranged.

In addition, below, the first bell pattern FIGd, the second bell pattern FIGe, the third bell pattern FIGf, and the fourth bell pattern FIGg are collectively referred to as the "bell pattern", and the first plum pattern FIGh, The second plum pattern FIGi is collectively referred to as the "plum pattern."

Here, in this embodiment, the stop switch 10sw can be stopped within the range of "5" symbols from the symbol in which the operation of the stop button 10 is detected. For example, if the left stop button 11 is operated just before the replay symbol FIGj numbered "10" passes the active line, the replay symbol FIGj numbered "10", the second plum symbol FIGi numbered "09", It is possible to stop within the range of the BAR symbol FIGb numbered "08", the cherry symbol FIGc numbered "07", and the fourth bell symbol FIGg numbered "06". In addition, the stop position of the symbol will be determined according to the winning combination.

(effective line)
Here, in this embodiment, the "active line" is the "active line" that connects the symbols displayed in the middle row of the left reel 21, the symbols displayed in the middle row of the middle reel 22, and the symbols displayed in the middle row of the right reel 23. 1" line (middle line). Note that another line may be used as the effective line. For example, it may be a lower line, an upper line, a line rising to the right, a line falling to the right, a hill-shaped line, etc., which will be described below.

(lower line)
The lower line is a line that connects the symbols displayed on the lower row of the left reel 21, the symbols displayed on the lower row of the middle reel 22, and the symbols displayed on the lower row of the right reel 23.

(upper line)
The upper line is a line that connects the symbols displayed on the upper row of the left reel 21, the symbols displayed on the upper row of the middle reel 22, and the symbols displayed on the upper row of the right reel 23.

(line rising to the right)
The rising right line refers to a line that connects the symbols displayed in the lower row of the left reel 21, the symbols displayed in the middle row of the middle reel 22, and the symbols displayed in the upper row of the right reel 23.

(lower right line)
The descending right line is a line that connects the symbols displayed in the upper row of the left reel 21, the symbols displayed in the middle row of the middle reel 22, and the symbols displayed in the lower row of the right reel 23.

(Koyama type line)
The hill-shaped line is a line that connects the symbols displayed in the lower row of the left reel 21, the symbols displayed in the middle row of the middle reel 22, and the symbols displayed in the lower row of the right reel 23.

Note that although the number of effective lines is "1" line, it may be multiple lines.

Here, in this embodiment, if "4" specific symbols are arranged at "5" symbol intervals, the specific symbol will be stopped on the active line no matter when the stop button 10 is operated. It becomes displayable. For example, on the middle reel 22, replay symbols FIGj are arranged at numbers "04", "09", "14", and "19", so it is valid no matter when the middle stop button 12 is operated. The replay symbol FIGj can be stopped and displayed on the line. Note that this arrangement of symbols is referred to as "PB=1".

Note that information regarding the symbols arranged on the reels 20 shown in FIG. 6 is stored in the main ROM usage area 102a.

(Combination of symbols and assigned value of gaming value)
Next, symbol combinations and game value awards will be explained using FIG. 7.

As shown in FIG. 7, in this embodiment, the combinations of symbols related to winning include "first bonus", "second bonus", "replay", "plum", "cherry", and " ``Bell'' is specified. When this combination of symbols is displayed on the active line, a winning is established and a profit is awarded to the player. Here, the benefits given to the player include transition to a bonus activation state, provision of gaming value, activation of replay, etc.

(1st bonus)
In the "first bonus", a winning is established when the red seven symbols FIGa are displayed aligned on the active line. Here, if the winning of the "first bonus" is established, the state shifts to the bonus activation state.

(Second bonus)
With the "second bonus", a winning is established when the BAR symbols FIGb are aligned and displayed on the active line. Here, if the winning of the "second bonus" is established, the state shifts to the bonus activation state.

Note that the "first bonus" and the "second bonus" are collectively referred to as the "bonus."

(Replay)
In the "re-game", a winning is established when the replay symbols FIGj are displayed aligned on the active line. Here, if a winning is achieved in the "re-game", the re-game is activated and it becomes possible to play one game without placing a bet on the game value.

Here, in this embodiment, the replay will also be activated when the replay symbols FIGj are displayed aligned on any of the upper line, lower line, upward right line, and downward right line. For example, the red seven symbol FIGa numbered "03" stops in the middle row of the left reel 21, the BAR symbol FIGb numbered "03" stops in the middle row of the middle reel 22, and the red seven symbol FIGa numbered "05" stops in the middle row of the right reel 23. When the second plum symbol FIGi stops and the replay symbol FIGj is displayed aligned on the lower line, the regame will be activated. In addition, in the display determination process of step S8000, which will be described later, when it is determined that the red seven symbol FIGa, the BAR symbol FIGb, and the replay symbol FIGj are all displayed, it is determined that the winning of the replay has been achieved. .

(plum)
For "Plum", winning is achieved when the "Plum symbols" are displayed aligned on the active line. For example, if the first plum symbol FIGh is displayed in the middle of the left reel 21, the first plum symbol FIGh is displayed in the middle of the middle reel 22, and the first plum symbol FIGh is displayed in the middle of the right reel 23, " Plum” will be awarded. Here, if the winning of "Plum" is established, a gaming value of "6" is given to the player.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the winning of "Plum" can also be achieved when "Plum symbols" are displayed in line with other lines. Specifically, if the "Plum" pattern is displayed on any of the lower line, upper line, rising right line, falling right line, or mountain-shaped line, the winning of "Plum" is established and the gaming value is is given "13". That is, the value of the game value given to the player differs depending on the line in which the "plum symbols" are aligned.

(bell)
With "Bell", winning is achieved when the "Bell symbols" are displayed on the active line. For example, if the first bell symbol FIGd is displayed in the middle of the left reel 21, the first bell symbol FIGd is displayed in the middle of the middle reel 22, and the fourth plum symbol FIGg is displayed in the middle of the right reel 23, " Bell” is awarded a prize. Here, if a winning of "Bell" is established, a gaming value of "1" is awarded to the player.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, a gaming value is awarded to the player even when the "bell symbols" are displayed in line with other lines. Specifically, when the "bell symbols" are displayed together on either the lower line, the upper line, the upward-right line, or the downward-right line, the winning of the "bell" is established. In this case, the value of the game value awarded due to the winning of "Bell" is "1". In other words, no matter which line the "bell symbols" line up on, the game value given to the player is the same.

Furthermore, in the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, a combination of symbols related to blanks (not shown) is defined, and when a winning of "blank" is achieved, a gaming value of "1" is given to the player. Ru. Note that information regarding the combination of symbols and the value of the gaming value to be awarded is stored in the main ROM usage area 102a of the main ROM 102.

(Transition of gaming state)
Next, the transition of the gaming state will be explained using FIG. 8.

As shown in FIG. 8, in this embodiment, a total of "3" gaming states are provided: a general gaming state, a bonus carryover state, and a bonus operating state.

(General gaming state)
The general gaming state is a gaming state in which the winning probability of "replay" is drawn at a first probability. Further, the normal gaming state is a gaming state that is disadvantageous to the player. Here, in the normal gaming state, if the "first BB" or "second BB" is won, the normal gaming state shifts to the bonus carryover state. Further, in the normal gaming state, if a "bonus" is won, the normal gaming state shifts to the bonus operating state.

(Bonus carryover status)
The bonus carryover state is a gaming state in which the winning probability of "replay" is drawn at a second probability that is higher than the first probability. Here, in the bonus carryover state, if a "bonus" is won, the bonus carryover state shifts to the bonus activation state.

(Bonus activated)
The bonus operating state is a gaming state in which a "bonus" is operating. Here, in the bonus operating state, if a gaming value exceeding a predetermined threshold value is awarded, the bonus operating state shifts to the normal gaming state. Note that in this embodiment, "91" is adopted as the predetermined threshold, but the present invention is not limited to this, and other values may be adopted as the predetermined threshold.

(Transition of ball release state)
Next, the transition of the ball output state will be explained using FIG. 9.

As shown in FIG. 9, in the "specific period", there are a plurality of ball release states managed by the main control board 100. Specifically, there are a total of 8 ball dispensing states: normal state, CZ state, bonus preparation state, bonus state, AT state, bonus preparation state during AT, bonus state during AT, and additional state.

Here, although the details will be described later, if a replay is determined as a winning combination during the "non-specific period", the period will shift to the "specific period". Here, other conditions may be adopted as the transition conditions for transitioning from the "non-specific period" to the "specific period". For example, the condition for transitioning to the "specific period" may be that you have won a lottery to move to the "specific period" during the "non-specific period," or the condition may be that you have played a predetermined number of games during the "non-specific period." It may also be a transition condition for a "specific period".

(Normal state)
The normal state is a state that is disadvantageous for the player, and is a state in which it is possible to execute a lottery to change to the CZ state or the AT state. Furthermore, in the normal state, the player stays in the normal gaming state. Here, in the normal state, if "BB" is won, the normal state will shift to the bonus preparation state. Furthermore, if a "bonus" is won in the normal state, the normal state will transition to the bonus state. In addition, in the normal state, if the lottery to shift to the CZ state is won, the normal state will shift to the CZ state. Further, in the normal state, if a lottery for transition to the AT state is won, or if the number of games up to the ceiling, which will be described later, becomes "0", the normal state will transition to the AT state.

Note that in the normal state, if a lottery for transition to the CZ state is won, the transition to the CZ precursor state may be performed. In this case, when the number of precursor games is played in the CZ precursor state, the CZ precursor state will transition to the CZ state.

Furthermore, in the CZ precursor state, a performance that can make the player expect a transition to the CZ state or a performance that notifies the player of the transition to the CZ state is performed. This makes it possible for the player to expect the transition to the CZ state.

Further, in the normal state, when the execution conditions for the CZ fake precursor performance are satisfied, the state may be shifted to the CZ fake precursor state. In this case, when the number of fake precursor games is played in the CZ fake precursor state, the CZ fake precursor state transitions to the normal state.

Note that the execution condition for the CZ fake omen performance can be, for example, that a specific winning combination (for example, "Strong Cherry", which will be described later) has been determined and has not been won in the lottery for transition to the CZ state. .

Furthermore, in the CZ fake precursor state, a performance that can make the player expect a transition to the CZ state or a performance that notifies the player that the game will not transition to the CZ state but will transition to the normal state is performed. . Thereby, even if the player has not won the transition to the CZ state, it is possible to make the player expect the transition to the CZ state.

Further, in the normal state, if a lottery for transition to the AT state is won, the transition to the AT precursor state may be performed. In this case, when the number of precursor games is played in the AT precursor state, the AT precursor state will transition to the AT state.

Furthermore, in the AT precursor state, a performance that can make the player expect a transition to the AT state or a performance that notifies the player of the transition to the AT state is performed. This makes it possible for the player to expect the transition to the AT state.

Furthermore, in the normal state, if the execution conditions for the AT fake precursor performance are satisfied, the AT fake precursor state may be entered. In this case, when the number of fake precursor games is played in the AT fake precursor state, the AT fake precursor state will transition to the normal state.

Note that the execution condition for the AT fake precursor performance can be, for example, that a specific winning combination (for example, "Strong Cherry", which will be described later) has been determined and has not been won in the lottery for transition to the AT state. .

In addition, in the AT fake precursor state, a performance that can make the player expect a transition to the AT state or a performance that notifies the player that the player will not transition to the AT state but will transition to the normal state is performed. . As a result, even if the player has not won the transition to the AT state, it is possible to make the player expect the transition to the AT state.

(CZ state)
The CZ state is a state in which it is easier to transition to the AT state compared to the normal state, and it is a state in which a lottery for transition to the AT state can be executed. Furthermore, in the CZ state, the player stays in the normal gaming state. Here, in the CZ state, if "BB" is won, the CZ state will shift to the bonus preparation state. Furthermore, if a "bonus" is won in the CZ state, the CZ state will shift to the bonus state. Furthermore, in the CZ state, if a lottery for transition to the AT state is won, the CZ state will transition to the AT state. Furthermore, in the CZ state, if the CZ state termination condition is satisfied, the CZ state will transition to the normal state.

(Bonus ready state)
The bonus preparation state is a state that is entered when a "BB" is won in the normal state or the CZ state, and is a state in which a "bonus" can be won. In addition, in the bonus preparation state, the bonus carryover state remains. Here, if a "bonus" is won in the bonus preparation state, the state shifts from the bonus preparation state to the bonus state.

(Bonus state)
The bonus state is an advantageous state for the player in that it is easier to provide gaming value to the player compared to the normal state. More specifically, as will be described later, in the bonus state, the probability of winning the "push order plum" described later is higher than in the normal state, and the order of operation of the stop buttons 10 required to win the "plum" is higher. This is the state where the notification is made. Furthermore, in the bonus state, the bonus operation state remains. Note that in the bonus state, a lottery for transition to the AT state can be executed.

Here, in the bonus state, when the value of the game value given to the player exceeds "91" and the player wins the lottery to shift to the AT state, the player will shift from the bonus state to the AT state. I will do it. On the other hand, when the value of the game value given to the player exceeds "91" and the player has not won the lottery to transition to the AT state, the player will transition from the bonus state to the normal state. .

(AT state)
The AT state is an advantageous state for the player in that it is easier to provide gaming value to the player compared to the normal state. Although specifically described later, the AT state is a state in which the order of operation of the stop buttons 10 necessary to win "Plum" is notified. Furthermore, in the AT state, the player stays in the normal gaming state.

Here, in the AT state, if "BB" is won, the AT state will transition to the AT bonus preparation state. Furthermore, if a "bonus" is won in the AT state, the AT state will transition to the AT bonus state. In addition, in the AT state, if a lottery to shift to the additional state is won, the AT state will be shifted to the additional state. Further, in the AT state, if the AT state termination condition is satisfied, the AT state will transition to a non-specific period.

(Bonus preparation state during AT)
The AT bonus preparation state is a state that is entered when a "BB" is won in the AT state, and is a state in which a "bonus" can be won. Furthermore, in the bonus preparation state during AT, the player remains in the bonus carryover state. Here, if a "bonus" is won in the AT bonus preparation state, the AT bonus preparation state shifts to the AT bonus state.

(Bonus state during AT)
The AT bonus state is an advantageous state for the player in that it is easier for the player to receive gaming value compared to the normal state. More specifically, as will be described later, in the AT bonus state, the probability of winning the "push order plum" is higher than in the normal state, and the order of operation of the stop buttons 10 required to win the "plum" is higher. This is the state where the notification is made. Furthermore, in the bonus state during AT, the bonus operation state remains. In addition, in the bonus state during AT, it is possible to perform a lottery to shift to the add-on state.

Further, in the winning combination determination table, winning combinations and lottery values corresponding to the winning combinations are defined for each gaming state.

Here, in this embodiment, the winning combination determination table exemplifies a lottery value when the setting value is "1", a lottery value when the setting value is "6", and a lottery value when the setting value is "0". Illustrations of the lottery value when the setting value is "3", the lottery value when the setting value is "4", and the lottery value when the setting value is "5" are omitted. Note that in the winning combination determination table in this embodiment, the lottery values are defined such that the higher the setting value, the more advantageous it is to the player.

As shown in FIG. 12, when the gaming state managed by the main control board 100 is the normal gaming state, "1st BB", "2nd BB", "Replay", "Left push order plum PLa", "Left "Press order plum PLb", "Left push order plum PLc", "Middle push order plum PCa", "Middle push order plum PCb", "Right push order plum PRa", "Right push order plum PRb", "Weak cherry", " Lottery values are specified for ``strong cherry'' and ``bell.''

In addition, when the gaming state managed by the main control board 100 is a "bonus carryover state", "replay", "left push order plum PLa", "left push order plum PLb", "left push order plum PLc" ”, “Medium press order Plum PCa”, “Middle press order Plum PCb”, “Right press order Plum PRa”, “Right push order Plum PRb”, “Weak cherry”, “Strong cherry”, and “Bell” have lottery values. has been done.

In addition, when the gaming state managed by the main control board 100 is the "bonus operation state", "left push order plum PLa", "left push order plum PLb", "left push order plum PLc", "middle push Lottery values are defined for "Press order plum PCa," "Middle press order plum PCb," "Right push order plum PRa," and "Right push order plum PRb."

In addition, "left push order plum PLa" to "left push order plum PLc" are collectively referred to as "left push order plum", and "middle push order plum PCa" to "middle push order plum PCb" are collectively referred to as " "Middle push order plum" and "right push order plum PRa" to "right push order plum PRb" are collectively referred to as "right push order plum." Note that "left push order plum", "middle push order plum", and "right push order plum" are collectively referred to as "push order plum".

(Relationship between winning combination, operation order of stop button 10, winning, etc.)
Next, with reference to FIG. 13, the relationship between winning combinations, the order of operation of the stop button 10, winnings, etc. will be explained.

FIG. 13 shows the relationship between winning combinations and combinations of symbols that can be displayed on the active line depending on the order in which the stop buttons 10 are operated.

In this embodiment, the combination of symbols that are allowed to win differs depending on the winning combination. For example, if the winning combination is "replay", winning of "replay" is allowed.

Further, in this embodiment, winning combinations are provided in which combinations of symbols that are allowed to win are different depending on the stop button 10 that is operated to stop first. For example, in a case where the winning combination is "Plum PLa in left push order", if the left stop button 11 is operated first, "Plum" wins. On the other hand, when the winning combination is "Plum PLa in left push order", if the middle stop button 12 is operated first, or if the right stop button 13 is operated first, the stop button 10 is operated. Depending on the timing, a "blank" will be awarded. In other words, depending on the timing of the operation of the stop button 10, a "blank" win may not be established and a non-win may result.

Further, in this embodiment, a winning combination is provided in which the winning combination differs depending on the operation timing of the stop button 10. For example, when the winning combination is "Bell" and the stop button 10 is operated at an appropriate timing, "Bell" wins. On the other hand, if the stop button 10 is operated at an inappropriate timing, the winning of "Bell" will not be established and the winning will be non-winning.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, "BB" and other winning combinations can be won at the same time. Specifically, when another winning combination is determined while "BB" is carried over, "BB" and the other winning combination will be won at the same time.

Here, in this embodiment, if "BB" and "Replay" are won, "Replay" will be displayed on the active line with priority over "Bonus", and replay will be You will win a prize.

Furthermore, if "BB" and "Plum" have been won, "Plum" will be displayed on the active line with priority over "Bonus", and "Plum" will be the winning prize. In addition, if "BB" and "Cherry" are won, or if "BB" and "Bell" are won, "Cherry" and "Bell" will be given priority over "Bonus". and will be displayed on the active line.

(Characteristics of the winning role)
Next, using FIG. 14, the characteristics of the winning combination will be explained.

In the present embodiment, among the operation orders of the stop buttons 10, an operation order that is unilaterally advantageous to the player (hereinafter referred to as "first stop operation order") and an operation order that is unilaterally disadvantageous to the player (hereinafter referred to as "first stop operation order") are described. , "second stop operation order").

(First stop operation order)
The first stop operation order is an operation order in which the expected value of acquisition of game value is lower than the second stop operation order. Further, the first stop operation order is an operation order in which a lottery result of the ball output state, which will be described later, is reflected. Here, in this embodiment, the first stop operation order corresponds to the operation order in which the left stop button 11 is operated first. Specifically, the first stop operation order is the operation order of first operating the left stop button 11, then operating the middle stop button 12, and finally operating the right stop button 13 (hereinafter referred to as "left center"). This corresponds to the operation order of first operating the left stop button 11, then operating the right stop button 13, and finally operating the middle stop button 12 (hereinafter referred to as "left and right middle"). do.

(Second stop operation order)
The second stop operation order is an operation order with a higher expected value of game value acquisition compared to the first stop operation order. Further, the second stop operation order is an operation order in which the lottery result of the ball release state, which will be described later, is not reflected. Examples of the fact that the lottery result in the ball-out state is not reflected include not performing a process to reflect the lottery result in the ball-out state, or performing a process to clear the lottery result in the ball-out state.

Here, the second stop operation order corresponds to an operation order in which the middle stop button 12 is operated first and an operation order in which the right stop button 13 is operated first. Specifically, the second stop operation order is the operation order of first operating the middle stop button 12, then operating the left stop button 11, and finally operating the right stop button 13 (hereinafter referred to as "center left/right"). '') and the operation order of first operating the middle stop button 12, then operating the right stop button 13, and finally operating the left stop button 11 (hereinafter referred to as "middle right left"), and first The operation order is to operate the right stop button 13, then to operate the left stop button 11, and finally to operate the middle stop button 12 (hereinafter referred to as "right left middle"), and to operate the right stop button 13 first. , then the middle stop button 12, and finally the left stop button 11 (hereinafter referred to as "right center left").

In addition, in this embodiment, when the operation order of the stop button 10 is the second stop operation order, the lottery result regarding the ball release state described later is not reflected, but the operation order of the stop button 10 is In the case of the second stop operation order, compared to the case where the operation order of the stop button 10 is the first stop operation order, the lottery for the ball-out state may be given a less favorable treatment.

First, when the winning combination is "Plum PLb in left press order" and the operation order of the stop button 10 is the first stop operation order, "Plum" wins with a probability of "1/2". Specifically, when the operation order of the stop button 10 is "left middle right", "Plum" wins. At this time, the value of the gaming value given to the player is "6". Further, when the operation order of the stop button 10 is "left/right middle", "blank" will win a prize with a probability of "1/4". On the other hand, if the operation order of the stop button 10 is the second stop operation order, "Blank" will win a prize with a probability of "1/4". Note that when "Blank" wins, the value of the gaming value given to the player is "1".

Next, when the winning combination is "Plum PLc in left press order" and the operation order of the stop button 10 is the first stop operation order, "Plum" wins with a probability of "1/2". Specifically, when the operation order of the stop button 10 is "left/right middle", "Plum" is won. At this time, the value of the gaming value given to the player is "6". Further, when the operation order of the stop button 10 is "left middle right", "blank" will win a prize with a probability of "1/4". On the other hand, if the operation order of the stop button 10 is the second stop operation order, "Blank" will win a prize with a probability of "1/4". Note that when "Blank" wins, the value of the gaming value given to the player is "1".

Next, when the winning combination is "Plum PCa in middle press order" and the operation order of the stop button 10 is the second stop operation order, "Plum" wins with a probability of "1/4". Specifically, when the operation order of the stop button 10 is "middle left/right", "Plum" wins. At this time, the value of the gaming value given to the player is "13". Further, when the order of operation of the stop button 10 is "middle right left", "right left middle", and "right middle left", "blank" will win a prize with a probability of "1/4". On the other hand, when the operation order of the stop button 10 is the first stop operation order, "Blank" wins a prize with a probability of "1/4". Note that when "Blank" wins, the value of the gaming value given to the player is "1".

Next, when the winning combination is "Plum PCb in middle press order" and the order of operation of the stop button 10 is the second stop operation order, "Plum" wins with a probability of "1/4". Specifically, when the operation order of the stop button 10 is "middle right left", "Plum" wins. At this time, the value of the gaming value given to the player is "13". Further, when the operation order of the stop button 10 is "middle left/right", "right left middle", and "right middle left", "blank" will win a prize with a probability of "1/4". On the other hand, when the operation order of the stop button 10 is the first stop operation order, "Blank" wins a prize with a probability of "1/4". Note that when "Blank" wins, the value of the gaming value given to the player is "1".

Next, when the winning combination is "Plum PRa" in the right-pressing order, and the operation order of the stop button 10 is the second stop operation order, "Plum" wins with a probability of "1/4". Specifically, when the operation order of the stop button 10 is "right, left, middle", "Plum" wins. At this time, the value of the gaming value given to the player is "13". Furthermore, when the order of operation of the stop button 10 is "middle left/right", "middle right left", and "right middle left", "blank" will win a prize with a probability of "1/4". On the other hand, when the operation order of the stop button 10 is the first stop operation order, "Blank" wins a prize with a probability of "1/4". Note that when "Blank" wins, the value of the gaming value given to the player is "1".

Next, when the winning combination is "Plum PRb in right push order" and the operation order of the stop button 10 is the second stop operation order, "Plum" wins with a probability of "1/4". Specifically, when the operation order of the stop button 10 is "right middle left", "Plum" wins. At this time, the value of the gaming value given to the player is "13". Further, when the operation order of the stop button 10 is "middle left/right", "middle right left", and "right left middle", "blank" will win a prize with a probability of "1/4". On the other hand, when the operation order of the stop button 10 is the first stop operation order, "Blank" wins a prize with a probability of "1/4". Note that when "Blank" wins, the value of the gaming value given to the player is "1".

Here, in the first stop operation order, if the operation order of the stop button 10 is "left center right", the probability that a gaming value of "6" will be given to the player is "(4,596+4 ,982)/65,536 (setting "1") ~ (5,800+4,380)/65,536 (setting "6")", so "9,578/65,536 (setting "1") ~10,180/65,536 (setting "6")".

Similarly, when the operation order of the stop button 10 is "left/right middle", the probability that a player will be given a gaming value of "6" is "(4,596+4,982)/65,536 (setting "1") ~ (5,800 + 4,380) / 65,536 (setting "6")", so "9,578/65,536 (setting "1") ~ 10,180/65,536 ( The setting is "6").

Specifically, the probability of winning for "Plum PLa in left push order" with setting "1" is "4,596/65,536", whereas "Plum PLa in left push order" with setting "6" The probability of winning is "5,800/65,536". For this reason, it is easier to win the "left-press order plum PLa" when the setting is "6" than when the setting is "1".

On the other hand, the total winning probability of "Plum PLb in left push order" to "Plum PLc in left push order" with setting "1" is "9,964/65536", while "left push order Plum PLc" with setting "6" is "9,964/65536". The total winning probability of "push order plum PLb" to "left push order plum PLc" is "8,760/65,536". For this reason, when the setting is "1", it is easier to win "Plum PLb in the left push order" to "Plum PLc in the left push order" than in the case of the setting "6".

In this embodiment, the sum of the winning probabilities of "Plum PLa" to "Plum PLC in left push order" with setting "1" and "Plum PLa" to "Plum Plum in left push order" with setting "6" are calculated. The probability is the same as the sum of the winning probabilities of "Press Order Plum PLc". Specifically, the sum of the winning probabilities of "Plum PLa in left push order" to "Plum PLC in left push order" with setting "1" and "Plum PLa in left push order" to "Plum Plum in left push order" with setting "6" The total value of the winning probability of "Plum PLc" is "14,560/65,536".

That is, when the ball dispensing state managed by the main control board 100 is the normal state, the order in which the stop buttons 10 are operated is not notified, so the player assumes that the order in which the stop buttons 10 are operated is "left middle right". It is impossible to determine whether "Plum" will win if this is the case, or whether "Plum" will win if the order of operation of the stop button 10 is "left/right middle".

On the other hand, when the ball dispensing state managed by the main control board 100 is the AT state, the operation order of the stop buttons 10 is notified, and the player operates the stop buttons 10 according to the notified operation order. By doing so, you can win a "Plum".

In addition, since the total value of winning probabilities for “left press order plum” is the same value for the setting “1” and the setting “6”, the ball output managed by the main control board 100 When the state is the AT state, it can be said that the probability of winning a "Plum" is the same when the setting is "1" and when the setting is "6".

(Expected gain value of gaming value according to the order of operation of the stop button 10)
In the following, the expected value of acquisition of gaming value according to the order of operation of the stop button 10 will be explained.

The expected value of the gaming value acquired according to the order of operation of the stop button 10 is calculated as follows: "Lottery value according to the winning combination x value of the gaming value to be awarded x prize winning rate / total value of all lottery values (the denominator in FIG. 12)" "65,536")".

Here, in the present embodiment, if the winning combinations are "Plum in the order of pushing left" to "Plum in order of pushing left" PLc, "Plum in order of middle press", and "Plum in order of right push", they will be grouped. For this reason, the expected acquisition values of these gaming values will be explained. Note that hereinafter, "left-pressing order plums PLb" to "left-pressing order plums PLc," "middle-pressing order plums," and "right-pressing order plums" are referred to as a "specific group."

For example, when the setting is "1", the winning combination is "Plum PLb" is determined as the winning combination, and the operating order of the stop button 10 is "left center right", the expected value of the game value to be acquired is " 4,982×6×1/65,536=0.45 (For convenience of explanation, the value is rounded to the third decimal place.)

In addition, when the winning combination is "Plum PLc in left press order" and the order of operation of the stop button 10 is "left middle right", the expected value of the game value to be acquired is "4,982 x 1 x 0.25 /65,536=0.02''.

In addition, when "Plum PCa" is determined as the winning combination and the order of operation of the stop button 10 is "left middle right", the expected value of the game value obtained is "9,000 x 1 x 0.25/ 65,536=0.03''.

Similarly, when the winning combination is "Plum PCb in middle press order" and the operating order of the stop button 10 is "left middle right", the expected value of the game value obtained is "9,000 x 1 x 0.25 /65,536=0.03''.

Similarly, when the winning combination is "Right Press Plum PRa" and the order of operation of the stop button 10 is "Left Center Right", the expected value of the game value obtained is "9,000 x 1 x 0. 25/65,536=0.03''.

Similarly, when the winning combination is "Plum PRb" and the operating order of the stop button 10 is "left middle right", the expected value of the game value is "9,000 x 1 x 0. 25/65,536=0.03''.

Therefore, when the order of operation of the stop button 10 is "left middle right", the expected value of the game value obtained is "0.61".

Here, the expected value of acquisition of gaming value when the operation order of the stop button 10 is "left, middle," is the same as the expected value of acquisition of gaming value when the operation order of the stop button 10 is "left, center, right." It becomes "0.61".

On the other hand, when the expected value of the game value obtained when the operation order of the stop button 10 is "middle left/right" is calculated, it is "1.93". Similarly, the expected value of acquiring gaming value when the operation order of the stop button 10 is "middle right left", the expected value acquiring gaming value when the order of operation of the stop button 10 is "middle right left", and the expected value acquiring gaming value when the order of operation of the stop button 10 is "middle right left" The expected value of value acquisition is also "1.93".

From these facts, the expected gain of gaming value is higher when the stop button 10 is operated in the second stop operation order than when the stop button 10 is operated in the first stop operation order. I can say that.

Furthermore, the expected value of gaming value acquired when the operation order of the stop button 10 is the first stop operation order and the expected value of the game value acquired when the operation order of the stop button 10 is the second stop operation order are both the BET number "3". It can be said that the value is less than

In addition, in the present embodiment, the expected value of the game value obtained when the operation order of the stop button 10 is the first stop operation order and the transition lottery of the ball output state managed by the main control board 100 are explained. The sum of the expected value of the game value obtained is larger than the expected value of the game value obtained when the stop button 10 is operated in the second stop operation order.

In this way, when a winning combination of a "specific group" is won, the expectation of acquiring gaming value is determined depending on whether the order of operation of the stop button 10 is the first order of stop operation or the order of second stop operation. The structure is such that the superiority and inferiority are offset in terms of both the value and the transition probability of the ball state.

In this case, even when the main control board 100 transmits information (grouping command to be described later) indicating that the winning combination of the "specific group" has been won to the sub control board 300, the instruction information display section The display mode of 17 is hidden.

In addition, in the normal state, the value of the game value acquired by winning the winning combination of the "specific group" is not added to the calculation of the instruction-included accessory ratio.

(Storage area outside the main RAM used area 103b)
Next, the storage area outside the main RAM used area 103b will be explained.

As shown in FIG. 19, a plurality of storage areas are provided outside the main RAM usage area 103b, including a MY counter for stopping 103ba to a game number counter for ratio calculation 103yw. Each storage area will be explained below.

(MY counter 103ba for stopping)
The stopping MY counter 103ba is a storage area of "2" bytes, and is a storage area that can store the maximum number of increases (also referred to as "maximum MY") from the time when power was supplied to the gaming machine 1 to the present. For example, if the value of the gaming value that has been given since power was supplied to the gaming machine 1 is "200", the value of the upper byte of the cancellation MY counter 103ba is "00000000B", and the value of the lower byte is "00000000B". The value becomes "11001000B". Note that the stop MY counter 103ba is not supposed to store a negative value.

Here, when the gaming parlor is opened (when the gaming machine 1 is powered on), the value of the stopping MY counter 103ba is "0", and the value of the maximum increase number is also "0". Then, when the MAXBET button 7 is operated and a game is played and a winning is established, the value obtained by subtracting the value of the betted gaming value from the value of the gaming value given by the winning is the value of the MY counter for cancellation 103ba. It will be added to the value. On the other hand, if a winning is not achieved, the value of the betted gaming value is subtracted from the value of the MY counter 103ba for cancellation.

At this time, when the value of the stopping MY counter 103ba becomes a negative value, the value of the stopping MY counter 103ba becomes "0". For example, when the value of the stopping MY counter 103ba is "0", the MAXBET button 7 is operated, a game is played and a winning is achieved, and the value of the gaming value given to the player is "1". In some cases, "0 (value of MY counter 103ba for stopping before calculation)" - "3 (value of betted gaming value)" + "1 (value of gaming value awarded by winning)" = " -2'', but the value of the aborting MY counter 103ba becomes ``0''.

In addition, when the value of the MY counter for stopping 103ba is "0", if the MAX BET button 7 is operated and a game is played and no winning is achieved, the value of MY counter for stopping 103ba is "0" (MY counter for stopping before calculation). 103ba value)"-"3 (value of betted gaming value)"="-3", but the value of the MY counter for stopping 103ba becomes "0".

Here, when the game shifts to a state advantageous to the player (for example, AT state, bonus activation state), the value of the stoppage MY counter 103ba changes significantly. For example, assume that the AT state is entered when the value of the stop MY counter 103ba is "0". In the AT state, if the "push order plum" is won, the operating order of the stop buttons 10 is notified, and if the stop buttons 10 are operated according to the notified operating order of the stop buttons 10, the "plum" is won. will win the prize.

At this time, the value of the MY counter for stopping 103ba is "0 (value of the MY counter for stopping 103ba before calculation)" - "3 (value of betted gaming value)" + "13 (game value awarded by winning value)” = “10”. Here, since the AT state is held for a plurality of games since an additional lottery is performed for the number of games in addition to the initial number of games, the value of the MY counter for cancellation 103ba changes greatly. For example, assume that the AT state continues for a predetermined period and the value of the termination MY counter 103ba becomes "1,500".

Here, in the aborting MY counter calculation process in step S14103, which will be described later, if the maximum increase number is less than "1,500", the maximum increase number is updated to "1,500". On the other hand, if the maximum increase number is "1,500" or more, the maximum increase number is not updated. After that, before the value of the stop MY counter 103ba is decremented to "0", the value of the stop MY counter 103ba gradually increases to "19" by shifting to the AT state or the bonus activation state multiple times. ,000'' or more, the stop function will be activated.

Here, the upper limit of the value that can be stored in the stopping MY counter 103ba is "19,009", and it is possible to store it with a range up to "19,009". ” Values exceeding ” are not stored. The reason why the upper limit of the value that can be stored in the MY counter 103ba for abort is set to "19,009" is that the operating condition for the abort function is that the value of the MY counter 103ba for abort is "19,000". As described above, there are cases where the value of the MY counter 103ba for stopping becomes "19,000" and the stopping function is activated due to a difference in the value of the gaming value given by winning, etc. There are cases where the value of the stoppage MY counter 103ba exceeds "19,000" and the stoppage function is activated.

For example, when the value of the MY counter 103ba for stopping is "18,999", the value of the betted gaming value is "3", and the winning of "Plum" is established, "18,999 ( Value of MY counter 103ba for stopping before calculation) - 3 (value of betted gaming value) + 13 (value of gaming value awarded by winning ≒ In the gaming machine 1 in this embodiment, one This is because "19,009" is sufficient as the upper limit value of the MY counter 103ba for discontinuation because "maximum value of game value awarded in the game" = "19,009".

Note that the stop MY counter 103ba can also be made memorizable with a width up to "19,013". Specifically, when the value of the stop MY counter 103ba is "18,999", the value of the betted gaming value is "1", and the value of the gaming value awarded by winning is determined according to the rules of the gaming machine. If it is "15" which is the maximum value for one winning determined by "18,999 (value of MY counter 103ba for cancellation before calculation)" - "1 (value of betted gaming value)" + " 15 (value of gaming value given by winning) = "19,013", so the upper limit value of the MY counter 103ba for stopping is sufficient to be "19,013" regardless of the gaming machine 1. It's for a reason.

By doing so, it is possible to reduce the effort of changing the upper limit value of the MY counter 103ba for stopping each time the gaming machine 1 is developed. Of course, each time a gaming machine 1 is developed, the upper limit value of the stopping MY counter 103ba may be set to the maximum value of the gaming value awarded in one game of the gaming machine 1.

Moreover, it is also possible not to provide an upper limit value for the MY counter 103ba for stopping. For example, if the value of the stopping MY counter 103ba is "18,999" and the transition is made to the bonus operating state, the value of the stopping MY counter 103ba is "19,999" until the bonus operating state ends. 000'', the value of the stop MY counter 103ba may be updated and stored.

Here, in this embodiment, the value of the stopping MY counter 103ba is initialized by turning the power on and off.

Although the details will be explained later, the stopping MY counter 103ba performs a process of determining whether the number has exceeded "18,500" and a process of determining whether the number has exceeded "19,000". This is referred to in the process, and can be counted up to a maximum of 20,000.

(Animation after clearing the number of game values)
Next, the animation after clearing the number of game values will be explained using FIG. 142.

First, as shown in FIG. 142(A), when the front door 3 is opened with the power turned off and the power button 50 is operated while operating the number of game value clear button 61, clearing of the number of game values starts (occurs). This means that the conditions for starting (occurring) a door open error (constant monitoring) are satisfied. Here, the priority for clearing the number of game values is "11" and the priority for door open error (constant monitoring) is "20", so notification regarding clearing the number of game values will be given priority. .

Therefore, the frame lamp 28 emits light in the warning pattern lighting mode, and the speaker 29 outputs "1" shot of a "warning siren" and a voice saying "The number of game values has been cleared." The display on the value display 24 is "0". Then, when "5" seconds have elapsed after the number of game values has been cleared and the conditions for ending (cancelling) the number of game values have been cleared, the notification regarding the number of game values having been cleared ends.

Next, as shown in FIG. 142(B), if the front door 3 is open when the termination (cancellation) conditions for clearing the number of game values are satisfied, the door open error (constant monitoring) is terminated (cancellation). Since the conditions are not met, a notification regarding the door opening error (constant monitoring) will be issued.

Specifically, an image notifying that there is a door opening error is displayed on the image display device 27, the underframe lamp 28 emits light in the lighting pattern of the caution pattern, and a voice saying "The door is open" is emitted from the speaker. It is repeatedly output from 29.

In this way, when the first event start (occurrence) condition and the second event start (occurrence) condition are both satisfied, notification will be performed according to the priority order. Then, after the termination (cancellation) condition for one event is satisfied according to the priority order, if the termination (cancellation) condition for the other event is not satisfied, notification according to the other event is performed. That will happen.

(Animation after advance notice of cancellation)
Next, using FIG. 143, an explanation will be given of the animation after the pre-discontinuation notification.

First, in explaining FIG. 143, the value of the MY counter 103ba for abort becomes "18,500", which means that the start (occurrence) conditions for the abort advance notification are satisfied and that the abort function is about to operate. The explanation will be given on the premise that an image of the discontinuation advance notification to be notified is displayed on the image display device 27.

As shown in FIG. 143(A), if the start (occurrence) conditions for a door open error (constant monitoring) are satisfied while the start (occurrence) conditions for abort advance notification are satisfied, a door open error occurs. An image informing the user of this is displayed on the image display device 27, the underframe lamp 28 emits light in the lighting pattern of the warning pattern, and a voice saying "The door is open" is repeatedly output from the speaker 29. At this time, the image of the prior discontinuation notification remains displayed on the image display device 27.

In this way, when the start (occurrence) conditions for advance discontinuation notification are met, even if the start (occurrence) conditions for other events are met, the image of the advance discontinuation notice is displayed on the image display device 27. It remains displayed. By doing this, even if the start (occurrence) conditions for other events are satisfied, it is possible to recognize that the termination function is about to be activated.

As shown in FIG. 143(B), when the start (occurrence) conditions for advance notification of discontinuation are satisfied, the demo image display conditions (for example, a predetermined period of time after the game ends and the game is not played) (for example, , "30" seconds) have passed, a demo image will be displayed on the image display device 27. At this time, the image of the prior discontinuation notification remains displayed on the image display device 27.

In this way, when the conditions for starting (occurring) advance notice of discontinuation are satisfied, the image of advance notice of discontinuation remains displayed on the image display device 27 even if the display conditions for the demo image are satisfied. becomes. By doing so, it is possible to make the player recognize that the stoppage function is about to be activated even during non-game play when the demo image is displayed on the image display device 27.

(Animation after notification of suspension standby)
Next, the animation after the termination standby notification will be explained using FIG. 144.

First, in explaining FIG. 144, it is assumed that when the "bonus" is won, the conditions for starting (occurrence) the cancellation standby notification are satisfied and the image of the cancellation standby notification is displayed on the image display device 27. I will explain as follows.

As shown in FIG. 144(A), when the start (occurrence) conditions for the stop standby notification are met and the start (occurrence) conditions for the door open error (constant monitoring) are met, a door open error occurs. An image informing the user of this is displayed on the image display device 27, the underframe lamp 28 emits light in the lighting pattern of the warning pattern, and a voice saying "The door is open" is repeatedly output from the speaker 29. At this time, the image of the suspension standby notification remains displayed on the image display device 27.

In this way, when the start (occurrence) conditions for the cancellation standby notification are satisfied, even if the start (occurrence) conditions for other events are satisfied, the image of the cancellation standby notification is displayed on the image display device 27. It remains displayed. By doing so, even if the start (occurrence) conditions for other events are satisfied, it is possible to make it recognized that the termination function will be activated when the bonus activation state ends.

As shown in FIG. 144(B), when the conditions for starting (occurring) the termination standby notification are satisfied and the conditions for displaying the demo image are satisfied, the demo image is displayed on the image display device 27. That will happen. At this time, when the bonus operating state ends, the image of the cancellation standby notification remains displayed on the image display device 27.

In this way, when the conditions for starting (occurring) the discontinuation standby notification are satisfied, even if the display conditions for the demo image are satisfied, the image of the discontinuation standby notification remains displayed on the image display device 27. becomes. By doing so, even during non-gaming when the demo image is displayed on the image display device 27, it is possible to notify that the cancellation function will be activated when the bonus activation state ends.

Note that in the bonus operating state or AT state, the demo screen may not be displayed on the image display device 27 even if a predetermined time has elapsed since the game was not played. At this time, an image of advance notice of discontinuation ("The discontinuation function will be activated soon. 18, ×××/19,000" text image) and an image of the discontinuation standby notification ("The discontinuation function will be activated soon. Standby If the character image "Medium" is displayed on the image display device 27, the image displayed when the gaming machine 1 remains in the bonus operating state until the power is turned off, or the image displayed when the gaming machine 1 remains in the AT state. The image displayed in , the image of advance notification of cancellation and the image of standby notification of cancellation will always be displayed together.

(Animation from advance notification of termination to activation of termination function)
Next, using FIG. 145, an explanation will be given of the animation from the advance notification of termination to the activation of the termination function.

When the value of the cancellation MY counter 103ba becomes "18,500" or more after power is supplied to the gaming machine 1, the conditions for starting (occurring) the cancellation advance notification are satisfied. Then, an image of the advance notice of discontinuation that informs that the discontinuation function is about to be activated is displayed on the image display device 27, and the underframe lamp 28 lights up in the lighting pattern of the caution pattern, indicating that "the discontinuation function will be activated soon." The sound "1" is output from the speaker 29.

Thereafter, the game continues, and as shown in FIG. 145(A), when the value of the stoppage MY counter 103ba is updated, the image of the stoppage advance notification displayed on the image display device 27 is updated and displayed. Specifically, the character image "The abort function will be activated soon" displayed on the image display device 27 is left unchanged, and the text image is changed to "18,995 (current value of the abort MY counter 103ba)/19,000. ” will be updated and displayed as a text image.

Here, it is assumed that the current ball payout state is the AT state, the start lever 9 is operated, and "medium press order plum PCa" is determined as the winning combination. Then, the instruction information display section 17 displays instruction information corresponding to the "middle press order plum PCa", and the reels 20 all rotate. At this time, as shown in FIG. 145(A), the effect display area 27a of the image display device 27 displays an image corresponding to the current ball release state (in FIG. 145(A), an image corresponding to the AT state), etc. An image notifying the operation order of the stop buttons 10 is displayed in the press order display area 27b. Further, the speaker 29 outputs BGM in an AT state.

Here, as shown in FIG. 145(A), the image of the discontinuation advance notification will be displayed in a position that does not overlap with the push order display area 27b. By doing so, when performing a stop operation of the stop button 10, it is possible to prevent the image of the advance notice of discontinuance from interfering with the visual confirmation of the notified operation order of the stop button 10.

A process is performed to determine whether information regarding an abnormal communication error within the gaming machine (constant monitoring) is stored. If it is determined that there is an abnormal communication error within the gaming machine (constant monitoring) (step S8501=YES), the process moves to step S8502. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is not an abnormal communication error within the gaming machine (constant monitoring) (step S8501=NO), the process moves to step S8503.

(Step S8502)
In step S8502, the main CPU 101 performs a communication abnormality error (constant monitoring) rewriting process within the gaming machine. Specifically, the main CPU 101 performs a process of rewriting and storing information regarding an abnormal communication error within a gaming machine (constant monitoring) stored in the main error information storage area 103zb to an abnormal communication error within a gaming machine (main stop). . When the process of step S8502 is completed, the process moves to step S8509.

(Step S8503)
In step S8503, the main CPU 101 performs processing to determine whether or not there is an error in reaching the number of gaming values (constant monitoring). Specifically, the main CPU 101 performs a process of determining whether or not a gaming value error command having information on a gaming value number reaching error (constant monitoring) is received from the gaming value control board 400. If it is determined that there is an error in reaching the number of game values (constant monitoring) (step S8503=YES), the process moves to step S8504. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no gaming value reaching error (constant monitoring) (step S8503=NO), the process moves to step S8505.

(Step S8504)
In step S8504, the main CPU 101 performs a gaming value number reaching error (constant monitoring) rewriting process. Specifically, the main CPU 101 performs a process of rewriting and storing information regarding the gaming value number reaching error (constant monitoring) stored in the main error information storage area 103zb into a gaming value number reaching error (main stop). . When the process of step S8504 is completed, the process moves to step S8509.

(Step S8505)
In step S8505, the main CPU 101 performs processing to determine whether there is a rental device communication no response error (constant monitoring). Specifically, the main CPU 101 performs processing to determine whether or not a gaming value error command having information on a rental device communication no response error (constant monitoring) is received from the gaming value control board 400. If it is determined that there is a rental device communication non-response error (constant monitoring) (step S8505=YES), the process moves to step S8506. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no rental device communication no-response error (constant monitoring) (step S8505=NO), the process moves to step S8507.

(Step S8506)
In step S8506, the main CPU 101 performs rental device communication no response error (constant monitoring) rewriting processing. Specifically, the main CPU 101 performs processing to rewrite and store information regarding the rental device communication no response error (constant monitoring) stored in the main error information storage area 103zb into a rental device communication no response error (main stop). I do. Then, when the process in step S8506 ends, the process moves to step S8509.

(Step S8507)
In step S8507, the main CPU 101 performs processing to determine whether there is a rental device disconnection error (constant monitoring). Specifically, the main CPU 101 performs processing to determine whether or not a gaming value error command having information of a rental device disconnection error (constant monitoring) is received from the gaming value control board 400. If it is determined that there is a rental device disconnection error (constant monitoring) (step S8507=YES), the process moves to step S8508. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no rental device disconnection error (constant monitoring) (step S8507=NO), the subroutine of the error check process after full stop is ended.

(Step S8508)
In step S8508, the main CPU 101 performs a rental device disconnection error (constant monitoring) rewriting process. Specifically, the main CPU 101 performs a process of rewriting and storing information regarding the rental device disconnection error (constant monitoring) stored in the main error information storage area 103zb into a rental device disconnection error (main stop). . Then, when the process in step S8508 ends, the process moves to step S8509.

(Step S8509)
In step S8509, the main CPU 101 performs main stop processing. Specifically, the main CPU 101 stores in the main error information storage area 103zb an abnormal communication error within the gaming machine (main stop), an error in reaching the number of game values (main stop), a rental device communication non-response error (main stop), or a rental device communication error (main stop). Since the information of the disconnection error (main stop) is stored, the processing by the main control board 100 is not proceeded until the termination (cancellation) conditions for each error are satisfied. Then, when the process in step S8509 ends, the process moves to step S8510.

Here, in the fifth embodiment, once the main stop processing is performed, the processing by the main control board 100 will not proceed until the termination (cancellation) conditions for each error are satisfied. Therefore, the value of the termination MY counter 103ba is not updated until the termination (cancellation) conditions for each error are satisfied. Then, when the termination (cancellation) conditions for each error are satisfied, the processing by the main control board 100 proceeds and the value of the termination MY counter 103ba is updated.

(Step S8510)
In step S8510, the main CPU 101 performs processing to determine whether the error has been resolved. Specifically, the main CPU 101 performs processing to determine whether the above-described error termination (cancellation) conditions stored in the main error information storage area 103zb are satisfied. If it is determined that the error has been cleared (step S8510=YES), the subroutine of the error check process after full stop is ended. On the other hand, if it is determined that the error has not been cleared (step S8510=NO), the process moves to step S8509.

(Timing chart in the fifth embodiment)
Next, a timing chart in the fifth embodiment will be explained using FIG. 163.

Timing Ta is the timing at which advance notification of discontinuation is performed. Specifically, this is the timing when a winning is established and the value of the stopping MY counter 103ba becomes "18,500" or more. At this time, the image display device 27 displays a text image that reads, "The abort function will be activated soon. 18,500 (current value of the abort MY counter 103ba)/19,000." Further, the frame lamp 28 emits light in a "caution pattern", and the speaker 29 outputs a voice saying "The stop function will be activated soon."

Timing Tb is the timing when the start lever 9 is operated. Here, when the start lever 9 is operated, the start switch 9sw is turned on. When the start switch 9sw is turned on, the reels 20 start rotating, and the operation of the stop button 10 becomes effective.

Timing Tc is the timing at which an abnormal communication error within the gaming machine (constant monitoring) is detected. Here, as shown in FIG. 163, even if an abnormal communication error within the gaming machine (constant monitoring) is detected, the reels 20 continue to rotate and the operation of the stop button 10 remains valid. There is. In addition, the image display device 27 continues to display the text image "Abort function will be activated soon. 18,500/19,000."

Timing Td is the timing when the left stop button 11 is operated. Here, when the left stop button 11 is operated, the left stop switch 11sw is turned on. Then, when the left stop switch 11sw is turned on, the rotation of the left reel 21 is stopped.

Timing Te is the timing when the middle stop button 12 is operated. Here, when the middle stop button 12 is operated, the middle stop switch 12sw is turned on. Then, when the middle stop switch 12sw is turned on, the rotation of the middle reel 22 is stopped.

Timing Tf is the timing when the right stop button 13 is operated. Here, when the right stop button 13 is operated, the right stop switch 13sw is turned on. Then, when the right stop switch 13sw is turned on, the rotation of the right reel 23 is stopped.

Here, after timing Tf, the error check process after full stop in step S8500 will be performed. Specifically, since an abnormal communication error within the gaming machine (constant monitoring) was detected at timing Tc (step S8501=YES), the rewriting process of an abnormal communication error within the gaming machine (constant monitoring) in step S8502 is performed. Become.

Timing Tg is the timing at which the main state becomes main stop. Specifically, after the gaming machine communication abnormality error (constant monitoring) rewriting process in step S8502 is performed, the main stop process in step S8509 is performed. As a result, the main state changes from "no control" to "main stop", and processing by the main control board 100 is prevented from proceeding until the termination (cancellation) conditions for the internal communication abnormality error (main stop) are satisfied. become.

Timing Th is the timing at which the abnormal communication error within the gaming machine (main stop) is released. Specifically, when the conditions for terminating (cancelling) the intra-gaming machine communication error (main stop) are satisfied (step S8510=YES), the main state changes from "main stop" to "no control".

In addition, in FIG. 163, the communication abnormality error within the gaming machine (constant monitoring) was explained as an example, but the game value number reaching error (constant monitoring), lending device communication no response error (constant monitoring), lending device not connected error ( The same applies to constant monitoring). That is, even if these errors are detected while the reels 20 are rotating, the reels 20 will continue to rotate and the operation of the stop button 10 will remain valid. Further, the image display device 27 continues to display the text image "The abort function will be activated soon. 18,500 (current value of the abort MY counter 103ba)/19,000".

Then, after all the reels 20 have stopped, the main state becomes "main stop", and the processing by the main control board 100 will not proceed until the termination (cancellation) conditions for each error are satisfied. The value of the abort MY counter 103ba will not be updated until the error termination (cancellation) condition is satisfied. Then, when the termination (cancellation) conditions for each error are satisfied, the processing by the main control board 100 proceeds and the value of the termination MY counter 103ba is updated.

(Animation in the fifth embodiment)
Next, animation in the fifth embodiment will be explained using FIG. 164.

FIG. 164(A) is an animation when the start (occurrence) conditions for advance discontinuation notification are satisfied. Specifically, this is the timing Ta in FIG. 163. At this time, the image display device 27 displays a text image that reads, "The stop function will be activated soon. 18,500/19,000." Further, the frame lamp 28 emits light in a warning pattern, and the speaker 29 outputs "1" sound saying "The stop function will be activated soon." Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 164(A), the BGM that is output while staying in the AT state is output from the speaker 29.

FIG. 164(B) is an animation when the start (occurrence) conditions for advance discontinuation notification are satisfied. Specifically, this is timing Tc in FIG. 163. At this time, the image display device 27 will display the text image "Please check the connection between the main control board and the gaming value control board. Please call the staff." The text image “Works. 18,500/19,000” remains displayed. Furthermore, the reels 20 continue to rotate, and the operation of the stop button 10 remains valid. As shown in FIG. 164(B), the frame lamp 28 emits light in a warning pattern, and the speaker 29 emits a warning siren and a voice saying "Please check the connection between the main control board and the gaming value control board." is output.

FIG. 164(C) shows the timing when the main state changes from "no control" to "main stop." Specifically, this is the timing Tg in FIG. 163. At this time, the image display device 27 displays a text image that reads, ``Please check the connection between the main control board and the gaming value control board. Please call the staff.'' and ``The cancellation function will be activated soon. The character image "/19,000" remains displayed.

As shown in FIG. 164(C), "E8" is displayed on the acquisition display section 16, the underframe lamp 28 emits light in a warning pattern, and a warning siren is emitted from the speaker 29. Please check the connection of the value control board.'' will be output.

Additionally, the gaming machine 1 determines the time when the "game value reaching error (main stop)" notification is performed, the time when the "playing value reaching error (constant monitoring)" notification is performed, and the time when "settings are being changed". The times at which notifications are made are different.

Additionally, the gaming machine 1 determines the time when the "game value reaching error (main stop)" is notified, the time when the "playing value reaching error (constant monitoring)" is notified, and the time when "setting confirmation display is in progress". ” is announced at different times.

In addition, the gaming machine 1 determines the time when the "game value reaching error (main stop)" is notified, the time when the "playing value reaching error (constant monitoring)" is notified, and the time when the "termination function" is notified. The times are different.

In addition, the gaming machine 1 has a time when a "door open error (main stop)" is notified, a time when a "door open error (constant monitoring)" is notified, and a time when a "stop function" is notified. are different from each other.

Furthermore, the gaming machine 1 is configured such that the time when the activation of the "stopping function" is notified is different from the time when the "game value number clear" is notified.

Furthermore, the gaming machine 1 is configured such that the time at which the activation of the "stopping function" is notified is different from the time at which the "game value settlement" is notified.

Furthermore, in the gaming machine 1, the "intra-gaming machine communication abnormality error" can be detected at multiple timings. Specifically, the timing at which an "internal communication error in a gaming machine (main control notification TO)" can be detected (for example, the timing when the process of step S20003 is performed) and the "internal communication error in a gaming machine (main stop)" are detected. There are two possible timings (for example, the timing at which the process of step S2002 is performed) and a timing at which the "gaming machine communication abnormality error (constant monitoring)" can be detected (for example, the timing at which the process at step S15101 is performed).

Furthermore, the gaming machine 1 is capable of detecting the "lending device communication no response error" at multiple timings. Specifically, the timing at which a "rental device communication no response error (main stop)" can be detected (for example, the timing when the process of step S21002 is performed) and the "rental device communication no response error (constant monitoring)" are detected. There is a possible timing (for example, the timing at which the process of step S28306 is performed).

Furthermore, in the gaming machine 1, the "rental device disconnection error" can be detected at multiple timings. Specifically, the timing at which a "rental device disconnection error (main stop)" can be detected (for example, the timing at which the process of step S21005 is performed) and the time when a "rental device disconnection error (constant monitoring)" can be detected are determined. There is a timing (for example, the timing at which the process of step S28204 is performed).

Furthermore, in the gaming machine 1, the "door opening error" can be detected at multiple timings. Specifically, the timing at which a "door opening error (main stop)" can be detected (for example, the timing at which the process of step S2011 is performed) and the timing at which a "door opening error (constant monitoring)" can be detected (for example, There is a timing at which the process of step S15103 is performed.

Furthermore, in the gaming machine 1, the "game value number reaching error" can be detected at multiple timings. Specifically, there is a timing when it is possible to detect a "play value number reaching error (main stop)" (for example, a timing when the process of step S22510 is performed) and a "play value number reaching error (constant monitoring)" can be detected. There is a timing (for example, the timing at which the process of step S28201 is performed).

When the value of the stoppage MY counter 103ba reaches a specific value (for example, "19,000") in a specific game (for example, AT state), the gaming machine 1 transmits notification regarding the stoppage function in a first notification mode ( For example, if the value of the stopping MY counter 103ba reaches a specific value in a special game (for example, bonus activation state), the second notification mode (for example, the notification mode shown in FIG. 146C) is performed. After the notification is performed in the notification mode (A), the notification is performed in the first notification mode.

In addition, in the gaming machine 1, the timing at which the gaming value display 24 starts updating is different depending on whether gaming value is given by loaning out gaming value or winning a prize, or when the number of gaming values is cleared. ing. Specifically, when the number of game values is cleared, it is possible to update and display the game value display 24 without communicating between the main control board 100 and the game value control board 400. The time lag is shorter than when gaming value is given by lending or winning.

In addition, in the gaming machine 1, the timing at which the updating display of the gaming value display 24 starts is determined depending on when the gaming value is betted by operating the BET button 6 or the MAXBET button 7, and when the number of gaming values is cleared. It's supposed to be different. Specifically, when the number of game values is cleared, the game value display 24 can be updated and displayed without communication between the main control board 100 and the game value control board 400. The time lag is smaller than when the gaming value is bet by operating the MAXBET button 7 or the MAXBET button 7.

Further, some gaming machines 1 can notify one event (for example, before the number of game values is reached) and another event (for example, advance notification of discontinuation) at the same time. By doing so, appropriate notification can be made according to the progress of the game.

Further, in the gaming machine 1, the counting button 60 cannot be shared with other devices. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the gaming value from being counted erroneously.

Further, the gaming machine 1 can count the gaming value at any time while the gaming machine 1 is capable of playing games. On the other hand, if the operation of the counting button 60 is accepted while the game is not possible, there is a risk that the information regarding the counted gaming value will be lost, so it is impossible to count the gaming value.

Further, the communication method between the gaming machine 1 and the lending device 700 is asynchronous serial communication, and the character transmission time is 0.16 ms to 3.9 ms. Here, to explain the communication conditions for the character, "1" byte of data to be communicated includes a start bit and a stop bit, and the lending device 700 receives "0.9" from the start of receiving the start bit. If the next start bit cannot be received within ms, it will be regarded as one message.

Furthermore, the gaming machine 1 transmits information regarding an error that stops the game (for example, a door opening error (main stop)) to the lending device 700. In this case, when the unit board 710 of the lending device 700 receives information regarding an error that stops the game, the depositing of money and lending of gaming value is restricted. By doing this, when an error that stops the game occurs, depositing money or lending out gaming value will be regulated, so the processing when money is deposited or the lending out of gaming value will be regulated. can be suppressed from being performed unnecessarily.

Further, in the gaming machine 1, when a winning is established and the stopping function is activated, the stopping function is activated after the granting of the gaming value due to the winning is completed. By doing this, the cancellation function will be activated after all the gaming value that is awarded by winning a prize has been awarded, so if the cancellation function is activated while the gaming value is being awarded, the player may be dissatisfied. You can control what you think.

In addition, in the gaming machine 1, when the value of the MY counter 103ba for stopping is a predetermined value (for example, "18,999"), a game value of "3" is bet, and a predetermined winning combination (for example, "left push When "Plum") wins and "Plum" wins, the value of the MY counter for stopping 103ba becomes "18,999 (value of MY counter for stopping 103ba before update)" - "3 (betted gaming value value)" + "6 (value of gaming value given by winning)" = "19,002", and the cancellation function is activated. On the other hand, when a game value of "3" is bet and a specific winning combination (for example, "Plum in order of middle push", "Plum in order of right push") is won and "Plum" is won, the value of MY counter 103ba for cancellation is "18,999 (value of MY counter 103ba for cancellation before update)" - "3 (value of gaming value bet)" + "13 (value of gaming value awarded by winning)" = "19, 009". By doing this, when a player wins a predetermined winning combination, for example, the player can intentionally win by operating the stop buttons 10 in a different order from the notified order of operating the stop buttons 10. First, by extending the operation of the stoppage function until a specific winning combination is won, it is possible to provide the player with a gaming experience in which the player tries to obtain as much gaming value as possible when the stoppage function is activated. .

Furthermore, even when the stoppage function is activated, the gaming machine 1 continues to calculate the information displayed on the monitor display 44. Specifically, although the calculation of information displayed on the monitor display 44 continues, the game cannot continue due to the freeze stop. Note that the calculation of the information displayed on the monitor display 44 may not be continued and the continuation of the game may be made impossible, or the calculation of the information displayed on the monitor display 44 may not be continued and the continuation of the game may be made impossible. It may be possible to do so.

Furthermore, the gaming machine 1 is configured such that the demo screen is not displayed when the stoppage function is activated. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the player from giving the wrong impression that the gaming machine 1 is capable of playing games.

In addition, the game machine 1 is capable of detecting fraudulent activity even after the game machine 1 is frozen and stopped due to activation of the stop function or the like. For example, it is possible to provide a sensor that detects radio waves so that the process of detecting radio waves can be executed even after freezing is stopped due to activation of a stop function or the like. By doing this, it is possible to detect fraudulent activity even after the freeze is stopped due to activation of the stop function.

Further, in the gaming machine 1, communication between the main control board 100 and the gaming value control board 400 continues even after the stop function is activated. By doing this, even after the cancellation function is activated, specific processing by the main control board 100 (for example, processing to display setting confirmation) and specific processing by the gaming value control board 400 (for example, , a process of notifying gaming machine information to the lending device 700).

In addition, when the value of the stop MY counter 103ba reaches "19,000" in a special game (for example, in a bonus operating state), the game machine 1 controls the stop MY counter 103ba in subsequent games until the special game ends. The value of the counter 103ba is not updated. For example, in the bonus operation state, when the value of the MY counter for stopping 103ba is "18,999", if "Plum" is won and a gaming value of "13" is given, the value of the MY counter for stopping 103ba is After counting up to "19,009", the stop flag is turned ON. In subsequent games, the value of the stoppage MY counter 103ba is not updated. By doing so, it is possible to reduce the processing load after the start (activation) conditions for the termination function are satisfied in the bonus activation state.

(Modified example of gaming machine 1)
Below, a modification of the gaming machine 1 will be explained.

In a specific game (for example, AT state), when the value of the stop MY counter 103ba reaches a predetermined value (for example, "18,500"), the remaining period that can be spent in the specific game (for example, in AT state) (The game value provided is "500" or more), the notification mode of the remaining period in which you can stay in the specific game is changed (for example, by displaying "Continue until cancellation" on the image display device 27) It may also be a thing. By doing this, it is possible to reduce the dissatisfaction of the player when, for example, the operation of the discontinuation function has been confirmed and the remaining period of stay in a specific game is long. can.

Furthermore, when the value of the MY counter for stopping 103ba reaches a predetermined value (for example, "18,500") in a specific game (for example, AT state), the value of the MY counter for stopping 103ba reaches a specific value (for example, The specific game may be continued until the number reaches ``19,000''. By doing this, when the value of the stoppage MY counter 103ba reaches a predetermined value, the specific game will continue until the value of the stoppage MY counter 103ba reaches a specific value, so the stoppage function is activated. It is possible to reduce the dissatisfaction of the player due to the game ending due to the activation.

In addition, in this embodiment, the lottery regarding the instruction function is not performed by referring to the value of the MY counter for stopping 103ba, but in a specific game (for example, AT state), the value of the MY counter for stopping 103ba and a predetermined value (for example, "18,500"), if the determination result is a specific result (the value of the cancellation MY counter 103ba is "18,500" or more), the additional lottery will be given a cold treatment (for example, , reducing the probability of an additional lottery, or not conducting an additional lottery). By doing so, it is possible to suppress unnecessary addition of the playable period in the specific game in the game after the above-mentioned determination result becomes the specific result.

Here, during a period in which the bonus lottery is not given a favorable treatment, a bonus may be given to the player when he wins the bonus lottery. For example, a setting value suggestion effect that suggests a setting value (for example, an effect that indicates an even number setting, an effect that indicates an odd number setting), a setting value notification effect that indicates a setting value (for example, a effect that indicates a setting value) 6) may be made executable. By doing this, it is possible to reduce the dissatisfaction of the players even if they win the additional lottery during the period when the additional lottery is not given much attention.

Further, when the value of the difference counter 103ax is likely to reach "2,400" (for example, the value of the difference counter 103ax is "2,000" or more), the value of the MY counter for discontinuation 103ba is set to a predetermined value ( For example, it is also possible to disdain the additional lottery in a specific game (for example, AT state) even before it reaches "18,500"). By doing so, it is possible to prevent the playable period in the specific game from being added unnecessarily when the specific period is likely to shift to a non-specific period.

In addition, if the value of the MY counter 103ba for termination reaches a predetermined value (for example, "18,500" or more), the lottery to move to an advantageous state (for example, an additional state, a pseudo bonus) may be given a cold treatment. good. By doing so, it is possible to prevent unnecessary transition to an advantageous state.

In addition, in a specific game (for example, AT state), if the value of the stop MY counter 103ba becomes a predetermined value (for example, "18,500" or more), even if you win the additional lottery, you will be notified immediately. First, the notification is made after the notified period (for example, the period displayed on the image display device 27) becomes "0" among the playable periods in a specific game (for example, AT state). Good too. By doing so, the period during which the specific game can be played can be notified in an appropriate manner.

In addition, in a specific game (for example, AT state), the determination result between the value of the MY counter for stopping 103ba and a predetermined value (for example, "18,500") is determined as a specific result (the value of the MY counter for stopping 103ba is " 18,500'' or more), additional notification may be limited. By doing this, even if the playable period in a specific game is added unnecessarily, it becomes difficult to recognize that the player has won the add-on lottery, so it is possible to suppress player dissatisfaction.

Furthermore, in a specific game (for example, AT state), if the value of the gaming value owned by the player reaches the first value (for example, the value of the gaming value storage area 403aa is "15,000"), Although it is possible to perform the additional notification effect, if the value of the stopping MY counter 103ba reaches the second value (for example, "18,500"), the additional effect may not be executed. By doing this, even if the playable period in a specific game is added unnecessarily, it becomes impossible to recognize that the player has won the add-on lottery, so it is possible to suppress the dissatisfaction of the players.

In addition, the gaming machine 1 performs "pre-arrival notification" when the value of the gaming value storage area 403aa becomes "15,000" and again when the value of the gaming value storage area 403aa becomes less than "15,000". , the notification mode may be different from the "pre-arrival notification" performed when the value of the gaming value storage area 403aa becomes "15,000". For example, the "pre-arrival notification" performed for the "second" time is more accurate than the "pre-arrival notification" performed for the "first" time than the character image "Please count" displayed on the image display device 27. It is also possible to reduce the size. By doing so, persistent notification to the player can be suppressed.

Furthermore, even if the value of the gaming value storage area 403aa becomes less than ``15,000'' after the value of the gaming value storage area 403aa becomes ``15,000,'' It is also possible to continue to perform "advance notification". This eliminates the need for control to switch between displaying and non-displaying the character image "Please count" displayed on the image display device 27, so that the processing load on the sub-control board 300 can be reduced.

The remaining period of time that can be stayed in a specific game (for example, AT state) is under a predetermined condition (for example, the remaining gaming value granted value that can be stayed in AT state ≧ "19,000" which is the activation condition of the cancellation function - for cancellation) MY counter 103ba), the notification mode is changed (for example, the text image "500" remaining displayed on the image display device 27 is changed to the text image "Cancellation confirmed"), and If the remaining period during which the user can stay in the specific game does not satisfy a predetermined condition, the notification mode may not be changed. By doing so, the player can be made aware that it is possible to stay in the specific game until the cancellation function is activated by changing the notification mode.

In this case, after the notification form of the remaining period during which the player can stay in the specific game changes, it is desirable not to change the notification form. Specifically, after the notification mode of the remaining period during which the user can stay in the specific game changes, the notification mode is not changed even if the predetermined condition is again satisfied. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the player from misunderstanding that it is no longer possible to stay in the specific game until the termination function is activated after the notification mode changes.

Further, when the value of the MY counter for discontinuation 103ba reaches a predetermined value (for example, "18,500"), advance discontinuation notification is performed, but advance discontinuation notification may also be performed before the discontinuation advance notice. Good too. In this case, when the value of the MY counter for discontinuation 103ba becomes "18,000", advance notice of discontinuation can be executed in the first notification mode, and the value of the MY counter for discontinuation 103ba becomes "18,000". 500'', it becomes possible to execute advance notification of discontinuation in the second notification mode. By doing so, it is possible to make it easier for the player to recognize the advance notice of cancellation.

Further, the settlement button 8 may be shared with other devices (for example, the BET button 6 and the MAXBET button 7). In this case, the betted gaming value may be settled if the operation time of the other device continues for a predetermined time (for example, "1" second) or more. By doing so, there is no need to provide the payment button 8, so the number of parts of the gaming machine 1 can be reduced.

Further, the gaming value display 24 may be capable of displaying error information of the gaming machine 1. In this case, the error information will be displayed only when it is impossible to proceed with the game (the same goes for lending out gaming value and counting gaming value), and the display of gaming value and error information will only be displayed for a predetermined period of time ( For example, the display is switched every "2" seconds). In particular, the display of error information should not be mistaken for the display of the value of the gaming value owned by the player, or should be difficult to misidentify (for example, the error information should be displayed with the upper digits closed and the lower digits blank). This is desirable.

Further, when the value of the gaming value owned by the player is displayed on the gaming value display 24, the value of the gaming value owned by the player is displayed with priority over the error information of the gaming machine 1. It may also be a thing. Then, when the counting button 60 is operated, the gaming value is counted, and after this gaming value counting is finished, information such as the activation of the stop function is notified on the gaming value display 24. good.

In addition, notification of the activation of the stoppage function, advance notice of stoppage, and standby notification of stoppage are performed using the image display device 27, the frame lamp 28, and the speaker 29. In addition, this gimmick (performance device) may be used to notify the operation of the stopping function, advance notification of stopping, and notification of waiting to stop.

Furthermore, notification of clearing the number of game values and notification of reset start may be provided using a gimmick (presentation device). Specifically, when the sub CPU 301 receives a game value number clear command from the game value control board 400, it makes a notification by operating a gimmick (presentation device), and receives a reset start command from the main control board 100. In this case, a notification will be given by operating a gimmick (performance device). In this case, the operating mode of the gimmick (presentation device) when notifying the clearing of the number of game values and the operating mode of the gimmick (presentation device) when notifying the reset start may be the same operating mode, Different modes of operation may be used.

In addition, as a condition for starting (activating) the stoppage function, the value of the stoppage MY counter 103ba is "19,000" or more, but it is not limited to this, and for example, the game value The fact that the difference number is "19,000" may be applied.

Further, the gaming value control board 400 may be provided with a display capable of displaying predetermined events. For example, when the conditions for starting (activating) the stopping function are satisfied, this indicator is used to notify the activation of the stopping function.

Further, an image may be displayed on the image display device 27 to notify that the abort function is installed. In this case, it is desirable that the image notifying the user that the discontinuation function is installed is always displayed, and in particular, it is desirable that it be displayed even on the demo screen. By doing so, it is possible to inform the player that the stoppage function is installed even when the game is not being played.

In addition, when the AT status is managed not by the number of games but by the number of sets (for example, ``1'' set and ``30'' games), if the start (activation) conditions for the discontinuation function are satisfied, the ``1'' set The AT state may be continued until the consumption of the set "1" is completed, and the abort function may be activated when the consumption of the "1" set is completed. For example, if the start (activation) conditions for the stop function are met and the remaining number of games in the "1" set is "15" games, the AT state will continue until "15" games are played. , the stopping function may be activated when the game of "1" set is finished (when the game of the remaining "15" games is finished). By doing this, it is possible to avoid giving the player a sense of discomfort that the stopping function is activated in the middle of the "1" set.

Further, the condition for terminating (cancelling) the termination function may be set to power OFF. In this case, in a specific game (for example, AT state), the value of the stopping MY counter 103ba becomes a specific value (for example, "19,000"), and the power is turned off before the specific game ends. In this case, the value of the aborting MY counter 103ba may be carried over. By doing so, it is possible to prevent fraud in which the abort function is disabled by clearing the abort MY counter 103ba.

Further, if there is a possibility that the value of the MY counter for stopping 103ba becomes a specific value (for example, "19,000"), the value of the MY counter for stopping 103ba may be backed up. In this case, when the sum of the value of the MY counter for stopping 103ba and the value of the gaming value obtained by winning a prize is greater than or equal to a specific value, the value of the MY counter for stopping 103ba is backed up. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the value of the termination MY counter 103ba from being cleared illegally.

In addition, in the case where the value of the MY counter 103ba for stopping is controlled outside the usage area of the gaming value CPU 401, when the gaming value control board 400 is activated independently without an instruction from the main control board 100, the value of the MY counter 103ba for stopping It is also possible to perform processing to clear the value of .

Further, in the case where the value of the stop MY counter 103ba is controlled outside the usage area of the gaming value CPU 401, the value of the stop MY counter 103ba may be cleared by an instruction from the main control board 100.

Furthermore, in the case where the value of the MY counter for cancellation 103ba is controlled outside the usage area of the gaming value CPU 401, information regarding the cancellation function may be transmitted from the gaming value control board 400 to the main control board 100. By doing this, it is possible to control the value of the stoppage MY counter 103ba outside the area used by the gaming value CPU 401, and also recognize information regarding the operation of the stoppage function on the main control board 100 side. On the 100 side as well, it becomes possible to perform processing (for example, freeze stop) in accordance with the operation of the stop function.

Further, it may be possible to set a start time and an end time at which the value of the stop MY counter 103ba can be cleared. For example, by adopting a configuration that can import RTC date and time information, it is possible to arbitrarily set the start time and end time at which the value of the abort MY counter 103ba can be cleared. By doing this, for example, even if the power of the gaming machine 1 is turned off during business hours of the gaming parlor, it is possible to memorize and retain the value of the MY counter 103ba for cancellation. .

Further, it may be possible to set the start time and end time at which the stop function can be activated. For example, by having a configuration that can import RTC date and time information, it is possible to arbitrarily set the start time and end time at which the abort function can be activated. By doing so, for example, it is possible to prevent the stop function from operating outside of business hours of the game parlor.

Here, the business hours of game parlors differ depending on each prefecture. For this reason, the settings of the start time at which the value of the MY counter 103ba for suspension can be cleared and the end time at which the value of the MY counter 103ba for suspension can be cleared are set according to the business hours of the gaming parlor in each prefecture. It is desirable to make it possible.

Furthermore, if the date and time information of the RTC is taken in and monitored, and recovery from a power failure of the gaming machine 1 that has not been over the same day is detected, the cancellation MY counter 103ba may not be cleared. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the stopping MY counter 103ba from being cleared multiple times within the same day.

Furthermore, when the date and time information of the RTC is taken in and monitored, and it is detected that the gaming machine 1 has recovered from a power cut that has not passed over a day, it may be possible to notify that the MY counter 103ba for cancellation has been cleared. For example, a voice saying "MY counter has been cleared" may be output from the speaker 29 at maximum volume. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the stopping MY counter 103ba from being cleared multiple times within the same day.

Furthermore, if the start (activation) condition for the abort function and the start (occurrence) condition for a predetermined error overlap, notification may be made in parallel. For example, the image display device 27 may notify both the activation of the abort function and a predetermined error, and the speaker 29 may notify either one or both (for example, the abort function). The operation and a predetermined error may be output alternately.

In addition, the modules related to the abort function may have all the processes made into modules for each function, or may be a common module.

Further, advance notification of discontinuation is to be performed when the value of the discontinuation MY counter 103ba becomes "18,500". For example, when the value of the discontinuation MY counter 103ba becomes "18,000". When this happens, output "1" shot of the voice "1,000 remaining" from the speaker 29, and thereafter output "1" shot from the speaker 29 at the timing of each predetermined threshold value (for example, "100"). You can also use it as

In this case, for example, when the value of the stop MY counter 103ba becomes "18,100", the speaker 29 outputs "1" sound saying "900 left". Then, when the value of the stoppage MY counter 103ba becomes "18,500", the image display device 27 will continue to notify the increase or decrease in the value of the game value provided until the stoppage function is activated.

Further, it is also possible to continuously notify the increase or decrease in the value of the game value provided from the time when the value of the MY counter for cancellation 103ba reaches "18,000" until the cancellation function is activated. In this case, when the value of the stop MY counter 103ba becomes "18,000", the image display device 27 displays a character image "1,000 remaining", and the value of the stop MY counter 103ba becomes "18,000". ,000'', the character image "Remaining '1,000'" displayed on the image display device 27 is no longer displayed.

Then, when the value of the stop MY counter 103ba becomes "18,000" again, the image display device 27 displays a character image "Remaining '1,000'". Note that if the value of the MY counter for stopping 103ba becomes "18,000" again, the text image "Remaining '1,000'" may not be displayed. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the same notification from being repeated.

Further, when advance notification of discontinuation is performed, processing may be performed to turn on a notification flag. In this case, the main control board 100 or the gaming value control board 400 monitors the number of times a predetermined period of time has elapsed since non-gaming (the number of times the demo screen is displayed), and if this number is a predetermined number (for example, "3"), (times), the notification completion flag may be set to OFF. By doing this, when a player ends the game due to the advance notification of discontinuation and the next player starts the game, the operation of the gaming machine 1 due to the advance notification of discontinuation is prevented. The decline can be prevented.

Note that the notified flag may be turned off in response to the operation of the counting button 60, or the notified flag may be turned off when a predetermined period of time has elapsed since non-gaming. .

Further, even if the power of the gaming machine 1 is turned off, the stop MY counter 103ba is not cleared, and a memory holding button may be provided in which the value of the stop MY counter 103ba is stored and held. In this case, if the gaming machine 1 is powered on while operating the memory retention button, the MY counter 103ba for abort is not cleared, and the value of the MY counter 103ba for abort is memorized and retained. On the other hand, if the gaming machine 1 is powered on without operating the memory retention button, the value of the MY counter 103ba for cancellation will be cleared. Note that the memory retention button may be provided with a dedicated button, or may be used also as another button.

Further, it is also possible to provide a MY clear button for canceling, which clears the value of the MY canceling counter 103ba when the gaming machine 1 is powered off. In this case, if the gaming machine 1 is powered on while operating the stop MY clear button, the stop MY counter 103ba will be cleared. On the other hand, if the gaming machine 1 is powered on without operating the MY button for stopping, the value of the MY stopping counter 103ba is not cleared and the value of the stopping MY counter 103ba is stored and retained. Become. Note that the MY clear button for canceling may be provided with a dedicated button, or may be used also as another button.

Furthermore, a slide panel may be provided that is movable when the stopping function is activated to notify that the stopping function has been activated. It is desirable that this slide panel cannot be operated by the player, but can be operated by the game store clerk. For example, when the front door 3 is opened, the slide panel can be moved in conjunction with the front door 3 to notify that the stopping function has been activated.

Furthermore, if the power of the gaming machine 1 is turned off after the gaming machine 1 gives advance notice of cancellation, the value of the cancellation MY counter 103ba may not be cleared. By doing so, it is possible to prevent fraud in which a clerk at a gaming parlor or the like turns off the power of the gaming machine 1 and clears the value of the MY counter 103ba for cancellation after the advance notice of cancellation is given.

Furthermore, when the game machine 1 is powered off after the gaming machine 1 gives advance notice of cancellation, it may be possible to notify that the value of the cancellation MY counter 103ba has been cleared. For example, the speaker 29 may output a voice saying "MY counter has been cleared." In this case, it is desirable that the sound output from the speaker 29 be at the maximum volume.

In addition, when the power of the gaming machine 1 is turned off after the gaming machine 1 gives advance notice of termination, information indicating that the power of the gaming machine 1 has been turned off is sent to the gaming machine information center 820. It is also possible to output . In this case, when the power of the gaming machine 1 is turned on after the power of the gaming machine 1 is turned off, the information that the power of the gaming machine 1 has been turned off is sent via the lending device 700. It will be output.

Here, the power to the gaming machine 1 can be turned off in two cases: after the advance notice of discontinuance is given, the power is turned off legitimately (for example, the power is turned off after the business hours of a game parlor), and when it is turned off illegally (for example, Since there is a possibility that the power is turned off during business hours of the gaming parlor, the gaming machine information center 820 needs to be able to determine which one. For this reason, the gaming machine information center 820 also needs to store information regarding the date and time when the gaming machine 1 was restored from power-off.

Further, when the gaming machine 1 is restored from power off after detecting a predetermined difference ball, the value of the MY counter 103ba for stopping may not be cleared.

Furthermore, if the game machine 1 is restored from a power failure while playing a specific game (for example, AT state) or a special game (for example, bonus activation state), the value of the MY counter 103ba for cancellation is not cleared. It may also be a thing. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the value of the termination MY counter 103ba from being cleared in an unauthorized manner.

Further, the history of the gaming machine 1 returning from power-off may be displayed on the image display device 27. By doing so, it becomes possible to check whether the value of the MY counter for termination 103ba has been cleared illegally.

Furthermore, the lending device 700 may have a lock function that makes it impossible to return the prepaid card in response to a password being input when the player takes a break. Specifically, when the lock function is enabled, it is impossible to count the gaming value, lend out the gaming value, or return the prepaid card while the gaming value owned by the player is displayed on the gaming value display 24. becomes.

Furthermore, the rental device 700 can set short breaks (e.g., toilet breaks) and long breaks (e.g., meal breaks), and can perform different processes for short breaks and long breaks. You can also use it as For example, during short breaks, it may be impossible to return prepaid cards, and during long breaks, prepaid cards may be required to be returned. By doing so, appropriate processing can be performed in accordance with the break time.

In addition, it was explained that if an error occurs while advance notice of discontinuation is being performed, the notice will be given according to the order of priority. Good too.

Furthermore, when advance notice of discontinuation is performed, it may be possible to notify the rental device 700 that the advance notice of discontinuation has been performed. In other words, it may be possible to notify the lending device 700 that the value of the gaming value storage area 403aa has become "18,500" or more.

In addition, if it is certain that the value of the MY counter 103ba for discontinuation will be "18,500" or more in the bonus activation state when the "bonus" is won, then when the "bonus" is won, It is also possible to make a notification.

In addition, when the freeze stops due to the activation of the stop function, the monitor display 44 continues to be lit in the same way as when other errors are detected, but the freeze stops due to the activation of the stop function. In this case, the monitor display 44 may be turned off.

Furthermore, if the power is turned off while an error has occurred, the value of the termination MY counter 103ba may not be cleared. By doing this, when an error occurs that cannot be canceled without turning off the power, the error can be canceled without clearing the value of the abort MY counter 103ba.

Additionally, if the conditions for starting (activating) the abort function are satisfied when an abnormality in the main RAM 103 is detected, the conditions for terminating (releasing) the aborting function are satisfied when the abnormality in the main RAM 103 is cleared. It may also be done. Specifically, it is necessary to turn off the power of the gaming machine 1 by changing the set value or setting the condition for ending (cancelling) the abnormality in the main RAM 103 to a reset start, so the termination function can be terminated (cancelled). The condition will necessarily be satisfied.

Additionally, if an error occurs while advance notice of discontinuance is being performed, advance notice of discontinuation will continue to be given in principle, but for example, if an error occurs that makes it impossible to return to the game (for example, If an abnormality in the RAM 103 occurs, the discontinuation advance notification may not continue to be performed.

The first invention includes a reel (for example, reel 20) on which a plurality of symbols are arranged, and a start operation detection means (for example, start switch 9sw) capable of detecting a start operation (for example, operating the start lever 9). , a stop operation detection means (e.g., stop switch 10sw) capable of detecting a stop operation (e.g., operating the stop button 10), and a game control means (e.g., main control board 100) capable of executing processing related to the game. , a gaming value control means (e.g., gaming value control board 400) capable of executing processing related to gaming value (e.g., electromagnetically stored gaming value), and an effect control means (e.g., sub-processing) capable of executing processing related to effect. control board 300), a clear operation detection means (for example, a number of game value clear switch 61sw) capable of detecting a clear operation regarding the game value (for example, operating the number of game value clear button 61 when the power is turned on), and a setting Setting operations related to values (for example, setting "0", setting "1", setting "3" to setting "6") (for example, a state in which the setting key is inserted into the setting keyhole 43 and rotated clockwise by a predetermined angle) setting operation detection means (for example, reset switch 41sw, setting key switch 43sw), and the game control means starts the rotation of the reels when the start operation is detected, and stops the rotation of the reels when the stop operation is detected. (For example, the reel rotation process in step S7000 and the reel drive control process in step S15005), and the gaming value control means has a gaming value update memory that updates and stores the value of the gaming value owned by the player. processing (for example, the game value storage area addition process in step S22503), and a game value clear process (for example, the game value storage area addition process in step S20013) that clears the stored value of the game value when the clear operation is detected. the number clearing process), and the production control means can output a number clear notification of the number of gaming values (for example, a voice saying "The number of gaming values has been cleared" from the speaker 29) in response to the clearing operation. ) and setting value-related notifications according to the setting operations (for example, outputting a voice from the speaker 29 saying "Settings are being changed", outputting a sound from the speaker 29 saying "Settings are being confirmed"). and that the notification priorities are different between the gaming value number clear notification and the setting value related notification (for example, priority "2", priority "4", priority "11"). This is a gaming machine that features:

The first invention also provides a reel on which a plurality of symbols are arranged (for example, reel 20) and a start operation detection means (for example, start switch 9sw) capable of detecting a start operation (for example, operating start lever 9). ), a stop operation detection means (e.g., stop switch 10sw) capable of detecting a stop operation (e.g., operating the stop button 10), a process related to the game, and a game value (e.g., electromagnetically stored game value). A game control means (e.g., main control board 100) capable of executing processing related to the game value (e.g., main control board 100), an effect control means (e.g., sub control board 300) capable of executing processing related to the effect, and a clear operation (e.g., A clear operation detection means (for example, a game value clear switch 61sw) capable of detecting the operation of the number of game values clear button 61 when the power is turned on, and a set value (for example, setting "0", setting "1", setting Setting operations related to settings “3” to setting “6” (for example, inserting the setting key into the setting keyhole 43 and turning the power button 50 on while turning it clockwise by a predetermined angle, acquisition display section 16 a setting operation detection means (for example, a reset switch 41sw, a setting key switch 43sw) capable of detecting the operation of the reset button 41 with the setting value displayed on the Reel control processing that starts the rotation of the reel when a start operation is detected and stops the rotation of the reel when the stop operation is detected (for example, the reel rotation process of step S7000, the reel rotation process of step S15005) (drive control processing), a gaming value update storage process (for example, the gaming value storage area addition process in step S22503) for updating and storing the value of the gaming value owned by the player, and when the clearing operation is detected, It is possible to execute a gaming value clearing process for clearing the stored gaming value value (for example, the gaming value number clearing process in step S20013), and the performance control means clears the gaming value according to the clearing operation.
