An engaging portion 22b is provided at the end. The sliding portion 22c is a shaft body and protrudes from the arm member 22 toward the rotating plate 30 side. When the rotating plate 30 rotates, the arm member 22 is guided by the cam groove 30d and rotated about the shaft 22a by the sliding portion 22c sliding along the cam groove 30d. The engaging portion 22 b engages with a shaft body 23 a supported on one end portion of the auxiliary plate 23. The engaging portion 22b is formed in a long hole shape whose end is open so that the arm member 22 can be rotated around the shaft body 23a and the parallel movement of the shaft body 23a within the engaging portion 22b is allowed. .

  A shaft body 23b is supported at the other end of the auxiliary plate 23, and the auxiliary plate 23 is a plate-like member that supports the shaft bodies 23a and 23b at both ends thereof. Each shaft body 23a and 23b slides in guide holes 24a and 24b provided in the side plate 1b. Moreover, the front ends of the shaft bodies 23a and 23b are formed with a small diameter, and the front end portions thereof are inserted into holes of the support frame 21 of the half mirror 20 described later.

In the figure, the arm members 14 and 22 and the auxiliary plate 23 are indicated by broken lines, and the shapes of the guide holes 16, 24 a and 24 b and the positional relationship with the arm members 14 and 22 and the auxiliary plate 23 are shown. Holes 14a ', 22a', 30a ', 35a' indicate holes for the shafts 14a, 22a, 30a, 35a, respectively.

  FIG. 6 is a view showing a state in which the side plate 1 b is removed, and is a right side view of the inside of the image display unit 1. As shown in the figure, the LCD 10 is supported by a bracket 13. The bracket 13 is a frame member that includes a back plate portion 13b to which the back surface of the LCD 10 is attached, and a side plate portion 13a that is formed integrally with the back plate portion 13b and is spaced from the side surface of the LCD 10. A shaft 12 serving as a rotation center of the LCD 10 is attached above the side plate portion 13a. The shaft 12 is supported by the side plate 1b, and an end thereof is connected to a stopper 12a (see FIGS. 4 and 5) provided outside the side plate 1b through the side plate 1b. The axis of the shaft 12 is set to the horizontal direction, and the LCD 10 is supported so as to be rotatable about a horizontal axis defined by the shaft 12.

  The side plate portion 13a is provided with a long hole-shaped guide portion 13c extending vertically. The guide portion 13c is for guiding the movement of the LCD 10, and the slide portion 14c of the arm member 14 slides in addition to the guide portion 16 of the side plate 1b. That is, the sliding portion 14c passes through the guide portions 16 and 13c and penetrates the side plate 1b and the side plate portion 13a.

  Next, a half mirror 20 is disposed behind the LCD 10. Support frames 21 that support the half mirror 20 are attached to both sides of the half mirror 20. The support frame 21 is provided with four holes. The ends of the shaft bodies 23a and 23b of the auxiliary plate 23 are inserted into any two of the four holes, and the support frame 21 and the auxiliary plate 23 are integrally attached with the side plate 1b interposed therebetween.

<Movement operation>

  Next, a movement mode of the LCD 10 and the half mirror 20 by the above drive mechanism will be described.

  In FIG. 6, the display screen 11 of the LCD 10 is in a substantially vertical state and is exposed to the front of the image display unit 1. This is called the first position. This first position is a position where the half mirror 20 is hidden behind the LCD 10 when the image display unit 1 is viewed from the front, and the display surface of the image display unit 1 is the display screen 11 of the LCD 10. In other words, the LCD 10 becomes a direct display subject. The LCD 10 rotates about 90 degrees around the axis 12 in the rear direction as will be described. For this reason, in the state of FIG. 6, the half mirror 20 is located at a position (retracted position) on the farther side of the image display unit 1 in order to avoid interference with the LCD 10.

  Next, when the rotating plate 30 is rotated approximately 90 degrees counterclockwise, the sliding portion 14d slides in the cam groove 30c by the rotation of the rotating plate 30, and the arm member 14 is moved to the shaft 14a by the guide of the cam groove 30c. Rotate clockwise around the center of rotation. The position of the sliding portion 14c is moved by the rotation of the arm member 14, and the sliding portion 14c slides on the guide portion 16 of the side plate 1b and the guide portion 13c of the bracket 13. Since the sliding portion 14c moves in an arc around the shaft 14a, the bracket 13 rotates counterclockwise around the shaft 12 by the sliding of the bracket 13 to the guide portion 13c. As a result, the LCD 10 supported by the bracket 13 also rotates counterclockwise.

  Next, when the rotating plate 30 is further rotated counterclockwise by approximately 90 degrees, the clockwise rotation of the arm member 14 further proceeds, and the LCD 10 is rotated until the direction of the LCD 10 is substantially horizontal. Further, as the LCD 10 rotates, the movement of the half mirror 20 advances and its posture changes.

  Next, when the rotating plate 30 is further rotated counterclockwise by approximately 90 degrees, the lower end portion of the display screen of the LCD 10 moves rearward and upward by approximately 90 degrees and becomes substantially horizontal. This position of the LCD 10 is referred to as a second position. The display screen of the LCD 10 is substantially horizontal and faces directly below. Further, the half mirror 20 moves to the front side of the image display unit 1 larger than the retracted position, and is positioned almost directly below the LCD 10. In addition, the posture is more slender than in the retracted position, and the inclination is approximately 45 degrees with respect to the horizontal plane. The position of the half mirror 20 is referred to as a display position. When in this display position, the half mirror 20 is exposed to the front of the image display unit 1. The LCD 10 in the second position projects an image on the half mirror 20, and the half mirror 20 becomes a display surface of the image display unit 1. In other words, the LCD 10 is an indirect display subject, and the half mirror 20 is a direct display subject.

  In this manner, when the LCD 10 is in the first position, the half mirror 20 is moved to the retracted position, and when the LCD 10 is in the second position, the half mirror 20 is moved to the display position. Become. Further, the motor 32 is reversely rotated to rotate the rotating plate 30 in the reverse direction (clockwise), so that the LCD 10 is moved from the second position to the first position, and the half mirror 20 is moved from the display position to the retracted position. It will move in conjunction. Further, in the present embodiment, as the half mirror 20 moves from the display position to the retracted position, the half mirror 20 is moved so that the posture thereof stands (inclination angle increases) (reversely, the retracted position from the display position to the retracted position). As the user moves to the position, the posture is moved to sleep (so that the inclination angle becomes smaller). Although the half mirror 20 may be moved in parallel, the length of the image display unit 1 in the depth direction can be further shortened by preventing the interference between the LCD 10 and the half mirror 20 by tilting the half mirror 20 at the retracted position. There is an effect, and the amount of movement of the half mirror 20 in the depth direction can be reduced.

  The simultaneous winning combination is a winning combination in which a plurality of winning combinations can be won at the same time, and in this embodiment, the simultaneous winning combination (BB1 & replay 1, BB1 & replay 2, BB2 & replay 2, BB3 & replay). 2, BB4 & Replay 2, BB1 & Watermelon, BB2 & Watermelon, BB3 & Watermelon, BB4 & Watermelon, BB1 & Cherry, BB2 & Cherry, BB3 & Cherry, BB4 & Cherry). For example, the simultaneous winning combination (BB1 & replay 1) is a winning combination capable of simultaneously winning both BB1 and replay 1, and the winning symbol combination “white 7-white 7-white 7” corresponding to BB1 is selected. When the game is complete, the game shifts to BB game, and when the winning symbol combination “replay-replay-replay” corresponding to replay 1 is prepared, the game is played without inserting medals in the next game. Can do.

  In the normal game, eight types of RT modes RT0, RT1, and RT4 to RT9 having different internal winning probabilities for the replays 1 to 4 are set. As shown in FIG. 13, in the present embodiment, among the 8 types of RT modes, the internal winning probability of the replays 1 to 4 in the RT0 mode is the lowest at 1 / 7.3, and the RT5 mode and the RT7 mode are not replayed. The internal winning probability of games 1 to 4 is set to the highest at 1 / 1.2.

  <When winning the BB internal>

  FIG. 14 is a diagram showing the types of winning combinations at the time of BB internal winning, the types of single winning combinations / simultaneous winning combinations, internal winning probabilities, corresponding winning symbol combinations, and the number of medals to be paid out (dividends).

  BB internal winning means that any of the winning combinations of BB1 to BB4 is won internally (including internal winning by simultaneous winning combination), and BB1 to BB4 is not won (the winning symbol combination corresponding to BB1 to BB4 is A game state that is not available.

  The winning combination at the time of winning this BB includes small roles (watermelon, bell (bell 1, bell 2), cherry) and replays 1-4, which are the above-mentioned single roles. Further, at the time of BB internal winning, two types of RT modes, RT2 and RT3, having different internal winning probabilities for replays 1 to 4 are set. As shown in FIG. 13, in the present embodiment, the internal winning probability of the replays 1 to 4 in the RT3 mode is 1 / 2.1, and the internal winning probability of the replays 1 to 4 in the RT2 mode is 1/3. Is set higher than .3.

  Note that the replay probability fluctuation state in which the probability of replaying is improved by the internal winning of the bonus is continued until the bonus is won, and in this state, a game medium such as a medal is acquired. It is desirable that the expected value is set to 1 or less, that is, the probability that the game medium is reduced as a whole. In the present embodiment, the replay probability of the lottery data is set so that the expected value of the game medium to be acquired is at least 1 or less for one game during the bonus finalization effect described later.

  <BB game>

  FIG. 15A shows the types of winning combinations in the BB game (SuperBB) by BB1 winning, the types of single / simultaneous winning combinations, internal winning probabilities, corresponding winning symbol combinations, and the number of medals to be paid out ( FIG.

  The winning combinations in SuperBB include small roles (watermelon, bell (bell 1, bell 2), cherry), replays 1-4, RB (RB1-RB5), and SRB, which are the above-mentioned sole roles. .

It is the figure which showed the number of sheets (payout).

  The winning combination in NormalBB is the same as the winning combination in the BB game by the BB1 winning, but the internal winning probabilities of RB1, RB1, and SRB are different. That is, the internal winning probability of RB1 and RB2 is higher in SuperBB than in NormalBB, while the internal winning probability of SRB is lower in SuperBB than in NormalBB. Yes. In this embodiment, the BB game ends when the number of medals paid out exceeds 465.

  Further, SuperBB shifts to SuperBB general game RT0 mode, and NormalBB shifts to NormalBB general game RT0.

  <When RB internal winner is won>

  FIG. 16A shows the types of winning combinations at the time of internal winning of RB1, the types of single / simultaneous winning combinations, internal winning probabilities, the corresponding winning symbol combinations, and the number of medals to be paid out (dividends). (B) shows the type of winning combination at the time of internal winning of RB2, the type of single winning combination / simultaneous winning combination, the internal winning probability, the corresponding winning symbol combination, and the number of medals to be paid out (dividend). FIG.

  In RB1 (or RB2) internal winning, RB1 (or RB2) wins internally during BB games, and RB1 (or RB2) is not won (RB1 (or RB2) is a combination of winning symbols No) refers to the gaming state.

  The winning combination at the time of winning the inside of the RB includes small roles (watermelon, bell (bell 1, bell 2), cherry) and replays 1 to 4, which are the above-mentioned single roles. Also, there is no transition to the RT mode when RB1 and RB2 are internally won, but when the RB2 is internally won, the BB general game RT6 mode is entered.

  <RB game, SRB game>

  FIG. 16 (c) shows an RB game by RB1 winning (RB1 game), a type of winning combination in SRB game, a type of single / simultaneous winning combination, an internal winning probability, a corresponding winning symbol combination, It is the figure which showed the number of payout (payout).

  In the RB1 game and the SRB game, there are small roles (watermelon, bell (bell 1, bell 2), cherry), which are the above-mentioned single roles. Further, in the RB1 game and the SRB game, there is no transition to the RT mode.

  FIG. 16D shows the type of winning combination in the RB game (RB2 game) by RB2 winning (RB2 game), the type of single / simultaneous winning combination, the internal winning probability, the corresponding winning symbol combination, and the number of medals to be paid out ( FIG.

  The winning combination of the RB2 game is the same as the winning combination during the RB1 game, but the internal winning probability of the small combination (bell) is different. That is, the internal winning probability of the small role (bell) is higher in the RB1 game than in the RB2 game. Further, in the RB2 game, the RB game RT6 mode is entered.

  In the present embodiment, the RB1 and RB2 games are ended when 12 games are played or when the winning combination is won 8 times. If the RB1 game is won during SuperBB, the BB general game RT4 mode (in SuperBB) is entered after RB1 ends. FIG. 17A shows the types of winning combinations in the BB general game RT4 mode (in SuperBB), the types of single / simultaneous winning combinations, internal winning probabilities, corresponding winning symbol combinations, and the number of medals to be paid out ( FIG.

  In addition, when the RB1 game is won during the NormalBB, the BB general game RT4 mode (in the NormalBB) is entered after the RB1 is finished. FIG. 17B shows the types of winning combinations in the BB general game RT4 mode (in NormalBB), the types of single / simultaneous winning combinations, internal winning probabilities, corresponding winning symbol combinations, and the number of medals to be paid out ( FIG.

  In addition, when an RB2 game is won during SuperBB, the BB general game RT8 mode (in SuperBB) is entered after RB2 ends. FIG. 17C shows the types of winning combinations in the BB general game RT8 mode (in Super BB), the types of single / simultaneous winning combinations, internal winning probabilities, corresponding winning symbol combinations, and the number of medals to be paid out ( FIG.

  In addition, when an RB2 game is won during NormalBB, after the end of RB2, the BB general game RT8 mode (in NormalBB) is entered. FIG. 17D shows the types of winning combinations in the BB general game RT8 mode (in Normal BB), the types of single / simultaneous winning combinations, internal winning probabilities, corresponding winning symbol combinations, and the number of medals to be paid out ( FIG.

  Next, the type of gaming state will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. FIG. 18 is a diagram showing the types of RT states, the timing of transition to each RT state, and the corresponding gaming state, and FIG. 19 is a state transition diagram showing the state of transition of the gaming state. is there.

  In the normal game, there are eight types of RT modes, a normal game RT0 mode, a normal game RT1 mode, and a normal game RT4 to RT9 mode.

  The normal game RT0 mode is a game state that is initially set at the start of the normal game. The normal game RT1 mode is shifted to when the symbol combination “Replay-Replay-Bell” corresponding to the replay 2 is displayed on the active line, and the normal game RT1 mode is continued for seven games after the transition. As shown in FIG. 13, the replay synthesis probability in the normal game RT1 mode is 1 / 2.1, which is higher than the regame synthesis probability 1 / 7.3 in the normal game RT0 mode.

  The normal game RT4 mode is shifted to when the BB game is finished in the BB general game RT4 mode (in SuperBB or NormalBB), and the normal game RT6 mode is changed to the BB general game RT6 mode or the RB game RT6 mode. When the game ends and becomes a normal game. In these normal game RT4 mode and normal game RT6 mode, as shown in FIG. 13 above, the ratio at which the symbol combination “Replay Bell Bell” corresponding to Re-Game 3 can be displayed on the winning line is set so far. This is a special high-probability game with a higher ratio than the ratio to be played (in this example, the internal winning probability of replay 3 is changed from 1/65536 to 6855/65536 (or 6555/65536)).

  In addition, the normal game RT5 mode shifts when the symbol combination “Replay-Bell-Bell” corresponding to the replay 3 is displayed on the active line in the normal game RT4 mode or the normal game RT6 mode. The normal game RT5 mode is continued for 100 games. As shown in FIG. 13, the normal game RT5 mode replay synthesis probability is 1 / 1.2, which is higher than the normal game RT4 mode and RT6 mode regame synthesis probability 1 / 7.2. .

  The normal game RT8 mode shifts to the case where the BB game is ended and becomes a normal game in the BB general game RT8 mode (in SuperBB or NormalBB). In the normal game RT8 mode, as shown in FIG. 13, the ratio at which the symbol combination “Replay-Cherry-Replay” corresponding to the replay 4 can be displayed on the winning line is higher than the ratio set so far. (In this example, the internal winning probability of replay 4 is changed from 1/65536 to 6855/65536).

  Also, the normal game RT7 mode shifts when the symbol combination “Replay-Cherry-Replay” corresponding to the replay 4 is displayed on the active line in this normal game RT8 mode, and for 1000 games after the transition, The normal game RT7 mode is continued. As shown in FIG. 13, the replay synthesis probability in the normal game RT7 mode is 1 / 1.2, which is higher than the regame synthesis probability 1 / 7.2 in the normal game RT8 mode.

  The normal game RT9 mode shifts to the case where the BB game is ended and becomes a normal game in the BB general game RT9 mode (in SuperBB or NormalBB). In this normal game RT9 mode, as shown in FIG. 13, the ratio at which the symbol combination “Replay-Cherry-Replay” corresponding to the replay 4 can be displayed on the winning line is higher than the ratio of the RT0 to RT7 mode. It is a special role high probability game with a high ratio (in this example, the internal winning probability of replay 4 is 3427/65536).

  At the time of BB internal winning, there is an RT2 mode for BB internal winning and an RT3 mode for BB internal winning.

  The BB internal winning RT2 mode shifts when a reach eye is displayed on the symbol display window 113 during the bonus internal winning (BB1 internal winning), and the BB internal winning RT3 mode is the bonus internal winning (BB2). When BB4 is won internally), the process shifts to the case where a normal losing eye is displayed on the symbol display window 113. The “reach eye” refers to a display result displayed only when the special combination is won internally, and in this embodiment, is a display result displayed only when BB1 is won internally. The “ordinary losing eye” is a display result in which a symbol combination that does not correspond to any winning combination is displayed.

  For BB games, NormalBB general game RT0 mode, SuperBB general game RT0 mode, BB general game RT4 mode (in SuperBB or NormalBB), BB general game RT6 mode, BB general game RT8 mode (in SuperBB or NormalBB), RB There are a game RT6 mode and a BB general game RT9 mode.

  In the NormalBB general game RT0 mode, the symbol combination “bonus-bonus-bonus” corresponding to BB2, the symbol combination “white 7-white 7-bonus” corresponding to BB3, or the symbol combination “bonus-bonus-white” corresponding to BB4. When “7” is displayed on the active line (when any of BB2 to BB4 is won), the process proceeds. The SuperBB general game RT0 mode shifts to the case where the symbol combination “white 7-white 7-white 7” corresponding to BB1 is displayed on the active line (when winning BB1).

  As shown in FIGS. 15A and 15B, the internal winning probability of RB1 in this SuperBB general game RT0 mode is 1310/65536 (= about 1/50), and the internal winning probability of RB2 is 655/65536 (= About 1/100), which is higher than the internal winning probability 819/65536 (= about 1/80) of RB1 in NormalBB general game RT0 mode and 164/65536 (= about 1/400) of RB2. Yes. Also, the internal winning probability of SRB in SuperBB general game RT0 mode is 6553/65536 (= about 1/10), and the internal winning probability of SRB in NormalBB general game RT0 mode is 18724/65536 (= about 1 / 3.5). Is set lower. That is, the SuperBB general game RT0 mode has a higher probability of winning the RB1 game and the RB2 game than the NormalBB general game RT0 mode, and the NormalBB general game RT0 mode has a probability of winning the SRB game than the SuperBB general game RT0 mode. Is expensive.

  In the normal BB general game RT0 mode or SuperBB general game RT0 mode, when RB1 is internally won and the symbol combination “Blue 7-Blue 7-Watermelon” corresponding to RB1 is aligned on the active line 114 (when winning RB1) ) Shifts to the RB1 game (in this case, since there is no transition to the RT mode, the RT0 mode remains). When this RB1 game ends, the BB general game RT4 mode (in SuperBB or NormalBB) is entered.

  In addition, when RB2 is internally won in the NormalBB general game RT0 mode or the SuperBB general game RT0 mode, the game moves to the BB general game RT6 mode, and in the BB general game RT6 mode, the symbol combination corresponding to RB2 “blue 7 When “-watermelon-watermelon” is aligned on the active line (when winning RB2), the RB2 game RT6 mode is entered. When this RB2 game ends, the BB general game RT8 mode (in SuperBB or NormalBB) is entered for 100 games. Note that, when the BB general game RT8 mode is completed, the mode shifts to the SuperBB general game RT0 mode.

  Furthermore, when the SRB is won internally in the NormalBB general game RT0 mode or the SuperBB general game RT0 mode, and the symbol combination “Replay-Bell-Replay” corresponding to the SRB is aligned on the active line 114 (when winning the SRB) ) Shifts to the SRB game (in this case, since there is no transition to the RT mode, the RT0 mode remains).

  Also, if more than 465 medals are paid out during the BB game, the game shifts to a normal game.

  <Main processing>

  Next, the main process of the main control unit 300 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the flow of main processing of the main control unit 300.

  Basic control of the game is performed mainly by the Main CPU 310 of the main control unit 300, and the Main CPU 310 repeatedly executes the main control unit main process of FIG.

  When power is turned on to the slot machine 100, first, various initialization processes are executed. Thereafter, in step S101 of the main process of the main control unit, a process for inserting medals is performed (details will be described later).

  In step S102, a process related to a game start operation is performed. Here, it is checked whether or not the start lever 135 has been operated. If it is determined that the start operation has been performed, the number of inserted medals is determined. In addition, a start lever reception command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 400. The sub-control unit 400 grasps the start of the game by receiving this start lever reception command.

  In step S103, a valid pay line 114 is determined.

  In step S104, the random number generated by the random number generator 317 is acquired.

  In step S105, an internal lottery of a winning combination is performed using the random number acquired in step S104 and the lottery data stored in the ROM 312. As a result of the internal lottery, when any winning combination is won internally, the winning combination flag is internally turned ON. Note that the random value acquired in step S104 may be used not only for the winning combination internal lottery but also for the lottery when the reel stop control table is selected. In step S105, a lottery result command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 400. The sub-control unit 400 grasps the result of the internal lottery by receiving this lottery result command.

  In step S106, rotation of all the reels 110 to 112 is started by a reel rotation start process. At this time, based on the internal lottery result in step S105, the stop position data selection table is referred to, and any one reel stop control table is selected.

  In step S107, a production input button reception process (details will be described later) is performed.

  In step S108, the reels 110 to 112 corresponding to the pressed stop buttons 131a to 131c are stopped by the reel control process. At this time, the reels 110 to 112 are stopped based on the reel stop control table selected in step S106. In step S108, a stop position symbol command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 400. By receiving this stop position symbol command, the sub-control unit 400 grasps at which symbol position each reel 110 to 112 is stopped.

  In step S109, the winning determination of the symbols stopped by pressing the stop buttons 131a to 131c is performed. Here, it is determined that the winning combination has been won when the winning symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination won or the flag carryover winning combination is displayed (displayed) on the active line. For example, if “Replay-Replay-Replay” is arranged on the active line, it is determined that the replay 1 is won. In step S109, a determination result command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 400. The sub-control unit 400 grasps the winning result by receiving the determination result command.

  In step S110, a medal payout process is performed. In this medal payout process, if any winning combination with payout (dividend) is won, the number of medals corresponding to the winning combination is paid out.

  In step S111, game state control processing is performed. In this gaming state control process, control for changing the gaming state is performed. For example, in the case of BB winning or SRB winning, preparation is made so that BB gaming or SRB gaming can be started from the next time. Prepare to start normal games from

  In step S112, RT game update processing is performed. In this RT game update process, a process related to transition to the RT mode is performed. For example, when the winning symbol combination “Replay-Replay-Bell” corresponding to the replay 2 is displayed on the active line 114 in the normal game RT0 mode. In preparation for the transition to the normal game RT1 mode.

  Thus, one game is completed, and thereafter, the game proceeds by repeating the main control unit main process.

  <Input processing>

  Next, the input process (step S101) in the main process will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing the flow of the input process.

  In step S201, an effect stop button reception process is performed (details will be described later).

  In step S202, a game start flag is set. Here, the game start flag is set to ON when the game start conditions are met, and the game start flag is set to OFF when the game start conditions are not met.

  In step S203, it is determined whether the replay operation is in progress or whether the game start flag is ON. If the replay operation is in progress or the game start flag is ON, the process proceeds to step S208. If the replay operation is not in progress and the game start flag is not ON, the process proceeds to step S204.

  In step S204, a medal selector process for detecting whether or not a medal has passed is performed by the medal acceptance sensor 320. In step S205, it is determined whether or not the medal selector is accepting a medal. If the medal selector is being accepted, the process proceeds to step S208. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step S206.

  In step S206, a medal settlement acceptance process is performed. In step S207, a bet button acceptance process is performed when an operation on the medal insertion buttons 132, 133 is detected by the medal insertion button sensor 323.

  In step S208, the number of medals inserted is set.

  In step S209, it is determined whether or not production stop button reception information is set. Then, when the stop button reception information for performance is set, the process proceeds to step S210, and when the stop button reception information for presentation is not set, the process proceeds to step S212. This production stop button reception information is set in the production stop button reception process described later in step S201.

  In step S210, the production stop button reception information is cleared, and in step S211, a production stop button reception command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 400. The sub-control unit 400 receives the production stop button reception command, thereby confirming that a specific stop button has been received (in this embodiment, the left stop button 131a and the right stop button 131c are simultaneously pressed). To grasp.

  In step S212, it is determined whether or not an operation for the settlement button 135 is detected by the settlement switch 324. If the settlement button 135 is operated, the settlement process in step S213 is performed, and the settlement button 135 is not operated. In step S214, the settlement process is not performed.

  In step S214, it is determined whether or not there is medal insertion acceptance information. If there is medal insertion acceptance information, the process proceeds to step S215. If there is no medal insertion acceptance information, the process ends.

  In step S215, a medal insertion command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 400. By receiving this medal insertion command, the sub-control unit 400 grasps that a medal has been inserted.

  In step S216, pre-game processing is performed. In the pre-game process, various processes necessary for starting the game are performed.

  <Stop button reception process for production>

  Next, with reference to FIG. 22, the effect stop button reception process (step S201) in the insertion process will be described. In addition, the figure is a flowchart which shows the flow of stop button reception processing for production.

  In step S301, it is determined whether or not the number of inserted medals is 0. If the number of inserted medals is 0, the process proceeds to step S302. Otherwise, the process ends.

  In step S302, it is determined whether or not a bonus game is being played. If the bonus game is not being played, the process proceeds to step S303, and if the bonus game is being played, the process is terminated.

  In step S303, the stop button sensor 322 detects whether or not the stop buttons (stop buttons) 131a to 131c are received. If the stop buttons 131a to 131c are received, the process proceeds to step S304, and the stop buttons 131a to 131c are received. If there is no, the process ends.

  In step S304, it is determined whether or not a specific stop button has been received, that is, whether or not the left stop button 131a and the right stop button 131c are simultaneously pressed, and the simultaneous pressing operation of the left stop button 131a and the right stop button 131c is performed. If there is, the process proceeds to step S304, and if not, the process ends.

  In step S305, production stop button reception information is set, and the process ends.

  <Direction input process for production>

  Next, with reference to FIG. 23, the effect input button receiving process (step S <b> 107) in the main process will be described. In addition, the figure is a flowchart which shows the flow of the input button reception process for productions.

  In step S401, it is determined whether or not the third stop reel is waiting to be stopped, that is, whether or not two reels have already stopped and only the remaining one reel is rotating. If the third stop reel is waiting for a stop, the process ends without performing any process. If not, the process proceeds to step S402.

  In step S402, it is determined whether or not the medal insertion button (bet button) 130 has been pressed. If the pressing of the medal insertion button 130 is accepted, the process proceeds to step S403, and if not, the process ends without performing any processing.

  In step S403, an effect input button acceptance command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 400, and the process ends. The sub-control unit 400 receives this effect insertion button reception command, grasps that the medal insertion button 130 has been operated, and performs an effect mode selection process (details will be described later).

  <Sub control section main processing>

  Next, the sub-control unit main process will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing the flow of the sub-control unit main process.

  When power is turned on to the slot machine 100, first, various initialization processes are executed in step S501 of the sub-control section main process.

  Next, in step S502, it is determined whether a command has been received from the main control unit 300 or not. If a command is received, the process proceeds to step S503. If not, the command waits for a command.

  In step S503, the received command is determined, and in step S504, effect processing is performed (details will be described later).

  Thereafter, the sub-control unit 400 repeatedly executes this sub-control unit main process except when the supply of power is interrupted.

  <Direction processing>

  Next, the rendering process (step S504) in the sub control unit main process will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, the figure is a flowchart which shows the flow of an effect process.

  In step S601, it is determined whether or not the received command is a “lottery result command”. If the received command is a “lottery result command”, the process proceeds to step S602; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S603.

  In step S602, a corresponding effect is selected according to the result of the internal lottery attached to the lottery result command. For example, when the bonus combination is won internally, a “bonus finalized effect” described later is selected and preparations for executing the effect are made.

  In step S603, it is determined whether or not the effect selected in step S602 is the “definite notification effect state”. If the selected effect is in the “final notification effect state”, the process advances to step S604 to perform a final notification effect process (details will be described later). If the selected effect is not in the “final notification effect state”, the process proceeds to step S605. move on. For example, when the bonus finalized effect is selected in step S602, the process proceeds to step S604 and the finalized notification effect process is performed.

  FIG. 26 is a diagram illustrating a flow of commands that the sub-control unit 400 receives from the main control unit 300 and commands that the sub-control unit 400 transmits to the effect unit control unit 500. In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 400, according to the content of the effect state selection command received from the main control unit 300, the normal state, the three-dimensional mode state, the linked effect state, the final notification effect state, the BB state, the RB Select one of the production states in the middle state. Among these, the final announcement effect state is that a predetermined combination (in this embodiment, bonus combination (BB1 to BB4, RB1, RB2)) is won internally and the bonus combination can be won (corresponding to the bonus combination) This is an effect state in which the effect unit control unit 500 executes a “bonus confirmation effect” that notifies the player that the winning symbol combinations can be aligned). The item of “command content” shown in the figure is an example of another command that the sub control unit 400 receives from the main control unit 300, and the sub control unit 400 includes the command content received from the main control unit 300. In response, effect data such as sound effect data and lamp lighting pattern data is set in each device such as the speaker 483 and the decorative lamp, and a control command is transmitted to the effect unit control unit 500. Receiving this control command, the rendering unit control section 500 responds to the control command received from the sub-control section 400 and the rendering unit control data described above, such as rendering image data and door movement data, the rendering unit A described above. Control.

  Returning to FIG. 25, in step S605, it is determined whether or not the received command is a “determination result command”. If the received command is a “judgment result command”, the process proceeds to step S606; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S607.

  In step S606, an effect state setting process is performed. Here, based on the winning combination information included in the determination result command, one effect state is set from the above-described plurality of effect states. For example, in this embodiment, when the BB1 to BB4 are won, the effect state is set to “BB in-progress state”, and when the RB1 or RB2 is won, the effect state is set to “RB in-progress state”.

  In step S607, it is determined whether or not the received command is a “production stop button acceptance command”. If the received command is a “production stop button acceptance command”, the process proceeds to step S608; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S609.

  In step S608, after performing the effect mode change process (details will be described later), the process proceeds to step S609.

  In step S609, other effect processes are performed, and the process ends.

  <Direction mode change processing>

  Next, the effect mode change process (step S608) in the effect process will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, the figure is a flowchart which shows the flow of an effect mode change process.

  In step S701, current presentation mode information is acquired.

  In step S702, the “production mode change command” including the current production mode information acquired in step S701 is transmitted to the production unit control unit 500. Receiving this “effect mode change command”, the effect unit control section 500 performs a “bonus confirmed effect” to be described later based on the effect mode information.

  In step S703, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the command transmission in step S702. If the predetermined time has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S705. If the predetermined time has not elapsed, the process proceeds to step S704. move on.

  In step S704, it is determined whether or not an “effect insertion button acceptance command” or “medal insertion command” is received from the main control unit 300, that is, whether or not the medal insertion button 130 has been pressed, or a medal is inserted. It is determined whether or not. If the “effect insertion button acceptance command” or the “medal insertion command” is received (when the medal insertion button 130 is pressed or a medal is inserted), the process proceeds to step S706 and received. If not, the process returns to step S703.

  In step S705, after setting a different effect mode, the process returns to step S702, and an “effect mode change command” is transmitted to the effect unit controller 500 in order to change the effect mode. In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 400 performs a bonus finalizing effect every time a predetermined time elapses, an effect mode A (dono mode) → an effect mode B (爺 mode) → an effect mode C (princess mode) → an effect mode A. Change the order in the order of (dono mode) → production mode B (爺 mode) →.

  In step S706, after storing the present effect mode information in the predetermined storage area of the RAM 413, a control command is transmitted to the effect unit controller 500 to notify that the effect mode information has been determined.

  <Confirmed notice production process>

  Next, the confirmation notification effect process (step S604) in the effect process will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, the figure is a flowchart which shows the flow of a fixed notification effect process.

  In step S801, the set production mode information is read from the RAM 413 and confirmed.

  FIG. 29 is a diagram showing an example of the bonus confirmation effect table. In this bonus finalized effect table, for each type of effect mode, details of the notification mode (final notification), liquid crystal mode, effect time, dripping blessing effect, bonus confirmation display, and effect are stored in association with each other. Yes. The “liquid crystal mode” indicates the stop position of the LCD 10 of the effect unit A. The state in which the LCD 10 is stopped at the “first position” is “two-dimensional mode”, and the LCD 10 is “ The state stopped at the “second position” is the “three-dimensional mode”. In addition, the “drafting blessing effect (dynamic effect according to the present invention)” is an effect in which various series of effects in which the effect mode is switched are developed. By displaying the mode in motion, it refers to an effect that allows the image display to be viewed in a mode with movement, and in general, a dynamic or almost dynamic effect mode in which the character moves. means. In other words, once it is started, it is an effect that continues until all the effects are completed, and when the game machine is in a situation where the effect cannot be controlled (for example, the power supplied to the game machine is shut off) Except for special cases, such as when a control command (for example, a lottery result command, a reel stop command, a determination result command, etc.) is received from the main control unit 300, or playback is interrupted It is an effect that is continuously overwritten without being overwritten. In addition, “bonus confirmation display (static effect according to the present invention)” is an effect in which the effect mode is uniform, for example, in a quiet mode in which the action of the character is completed and the image display does not move. This refers to an effect that can be visually recognized, and generally means a fixed or almost fixed effect mode in which there is no character movement. Further, “details” indicates details of the flowing blessing production.

  Returning to FIG. 28, in step S802, the above-described bonus finalized effect table is referred to, and a finalized notification effect (notification mode) is selected based on the set effect mode information. For example, when the production mode information is “production mode A (donor mode)”, one of the normal announcements A to E and the rare announcement 1 or 2 is selected.

  In step S803, the LCD 10 is used to perform a “drafting blessing effect” corresponding to the final notification effect selected in step S802, and in step S804, the process waits for the “dripping blessing effect” to end. Then, when the dripping blessing effect is finished, the process proceeds to step S805.

  In step S805, the LCD 10 is used to display a notification image indicating bonus confirmation (bonus confirmation display).

  In step S806, on the bonus confirmation display displayed in step S805, the symbol combination corresponding to the internally won bonus combination is displayed. For example, when BB1 is won internally, a winning symbol combination “white 7-white 7-white 7” corresponding to BB1 is displayed on the bonus confirmation display. Note that the notification corresponding to the lottery result is not limited to such a mode. For example, when the replay 1 is won internally, the winning symbol combination “replay-replay-replay” corresponding to the replay 1 is displayed. Display the character “Replay 1”, display a replay symbol (a graphic in which “Rep” is drawn) constituting a part of the winning symbol combination “Replay-Replay-Replay”, or the speaker 483. It is conceivable to output a sound effect corresponding to Replay 1 or to notify by changing the lighting pattern of the decorative lamp.

  In step S807, it is determined whether or not a lottery result command has been received from the main control unit 300. If a lottery result command has been received, the process proceeds to step S808, and if a lottery result command has not been received. Proceed to step S810.

  In step S808, the internal lottery result is confirmed, and it is determined whether or not the winning combination is a combination (prior combination) to be stopped with priority to the reels 110 to 112 over the bonus combination. If it is a priority role, the process proceeds to step S809; otherwise, the process returns to step S806.

  In step S809, the symbol combination corresponding to the priority combination is displayed on the LCD 10 in a manner that emphasizes more than the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus combination. The present invention is not limited to this. For example, the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus combination may be deleted and only the symbol combination corresponding to the priority combination may be displayed.

  In step S810, it is determined whether or not a bonus combination has been won. If the bonus combination has been won, the process proceeds to step S811, and if the bonus combination has not been won, the process returns to step S806.

  In step S811, “bonus winning effect” is performed, and in step S812, other effect processing is performed.

  FIG. 30 is a diagram showing the flow of the above-described “bonus confirmation effect” and “bonus winning effect”. For example, when BB1 is won internally, a “bonus finalization effect” is performed. During the bonus finalization effect, a combination of symbols corresponding to BB1 is stopped on the active line of the symbol display window 113 and a bonus is won. In this case, a “bonus winning effect” is performed instead of the “bonus confirmation effect”.

  Next, the “bonus confirmation effect” will be described with reference to FIGS. 31 to 34.

  FIG. 31A is a diagram showing the effect configuration of the bonus confirmation effect and the details of the effect. The bonus confirmation effect according to the present embodiment is composed of the above-mentioned “drafting blessing effect” and “bonus confirmation display”, whereas the dripping blessing effect is an effect that does not notify (display) the internal winning result. The bonus confirmation effect is an effect of notifying (displaying) the internal winning result.

  FIG. 31 (b) is a diagram schematically showing the effect mode for each effect mode information.

  When the production mode information is the production mode A (donor mode), a bonus confirmation display is performed after performing an “operational production” described later as a falling blessing production. Further, when the production mode information is the production mode B (爺 mode), a bonus confirmation display is performed after “blessed character display” described later is performed as a flowing blessing production. Further, when the production mode information is the production mode C (princess mode), a bonus confirmation display is performed after performing a “revariation production” to be described later as a drifting blessing production.

  FIG. 32 is a diagram showing an example of the bonus confirmation effect when the effect mode information is the effect mode A. When the production mode information is production mode A, “dono” is selected as the character, and after performing the production production consisting of moving images in which “dono” decides the pose as the hanging blessing production (dynamic production), the bonus is confirmed. As a display (static effect), a still image of “Tono” and a character (in this example, a character such as “bonus confirmation”) for notifying an internal winning result (in this example, a bonus internal winning) are displayed.

  FIG. 33 is a diagram showing an example of the bonus confirmation effect when the effect mode information is the effect mode B. When the production mode information is production mode B, “爺” is selected as the character, and a blessing character (in this example, characters such as “calling” and “paradise”) is used for a predetermined time as a hanging blessing production (dynamic production). After displaying the congratulatory characters that are switched every time, as a bonus confirmation display (static effect), a character (in this example, the bonus internal winning) that informs the still image of “爺” and the internal winning result (this bonus) In the example, “Bonus confirmation” is displayed.

  FIG. 34 is a diagram showing an example of the bonus confirmation effect when the effect mode information is the effect mode C. When the production mode information is the production mode C, “Princess” is selected as the character, and the re-variable display in which the numbers arranged in the three horizontal rows are switched and displayed every predetermined time as the drifting blessing production (dynamic production). After performing, as a bonus confirmation display (static effect), a character that announces the still image of “Princess” and the internal winning result (in this example, the bonus internal winning) (characters such as “bonus confirmed” in this example) Is displayed.

  Next, the “bonus winning effect” will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 35 is a diagram showing an example of a bonus winning effect. In this example, after the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus combination is displayed, a character such as “SuperBB” is displayed as a bonus winning effect. In this embodiment, this bonus winning effect is performed in all the effect modes A to C.

  36A and 36B are diagrams showing an example of notifying the internal winning of the re-gamer during the bonus confirmation display. FIG. 36A shows a bonus confirmation in the effect mode A and FIG. 36B shows a bonus in the effect mode B. When the confirmation display is being performed, (c) is the case where the bonus confirmation display of the effect mode C is being performed. The slot machine 100 does not report the internal winning result of the winning combination during the falling blessing performance (during the non-notification period) when the internal winning is performed for the predetermined winning combination during the flowing blessing production of the bonus finalizing effect. The internal winning result of the winning combination is notified at the timing when the blessing effect is switched to the bonus confirmation display (timing when the notification section is reached). In other words, even if an internal lottery result is given, during the blessing effect (non-informing section), the notification content corresponding to the lottery result is not notified until the bonus confirmation display (informing section) is entered. (Or so as not to notify any information), the notification of the notification content corresponding to the lottery result is delayed. Further, since the re-playing role is the above-mentioned priority role, the symbol corresponding to the re-playing role is displayed with emphasis rather than the display of the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus role.

  As described above, the slot machine 100 according to the first embodiment selects any one of a lottery means (in this embodiment, an internal lottery process) for performing a predetermined lottery and a plurality of types of effects. Production selection means (in this embodiment, step S602 of the production process) and production execution means for controlling the execution of the production selected by the production selection means (in this embodiment, steps S601 to S605 of the final announcement production process are mainly applicable). ), Notification means (in this embodiment, LCD 10 and speaker 483, etc.) capable of reporting various types of information, and notification control means (in this embodiment, mainly in the notification notification effect processing in this embodiment) for controlling the notification content to the notification means. , S609), and a plurality of types of effects executed by the effect execution means are predetermined effects that are not interrupted by the progress of the game. A specific effect (bonus finalized effect in this embodiment) is included, and the notification control means controls the notification contents to the notification means so as to perform notification corresponding to the lottery result by the lottery means at the final stage of the specific effect. To do.

  According to the gaming machine according to the present invention, since the notification corresponding to the lottery result is not performed until the final stage of the specific performance, the production may be disturbed by the notification as in the conventional gaming machine. The player can fully enjoy the specific performance. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the player's interest from being lowered and to maintain his willingness to play.

  Note that the gaming table according to the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the notification control means performs notification corresponding to the lottery result by the lottery means in the production period until the final stage at the final stage of the specific production. You may control the content of alerting | reporting to a alerting | reporting means so that it may carry out collectively.

  Further, the specific effect executed by the effect execution means is started when a predetermined game is started, and is continuously executed until a predetermined end condition is satisfied regardless of the end of the game and the start of the next game. If it is a production to be performed, a long production over a plurality of games will not be interrupted by the notification, and a decrease in the interest of the player can be prevented and the game willingness can be maintained.

  In addition, the specific effect executed by the effect execution means includes a dynamic effect in which the effect mode is switched and various series of effects are developed (in this embodiment, a drifting blessing effect), and a static effect with a uniform effect mode ( In this embodiment, a variety of presentations can be made, and such a variety of presentations will not be interrupted by notification, and the player's interest It is possible to prevent the decline of the game and to maintain the willingness to play.

  Further, the notification control means does not perform notification corresponding to the lottery result by the lottery means while the dynamic performance is executed by the effect execution means, or does not perform any information notification. When the notification content is controlled and the notification content is controlled so that the notification corresponding to the lottery result by the lottery means is performed while the static effect is executed by the effect execution means, the dynamic effect that attracts the player's interest Can be prevented from being interrupted in the middle of the notification, prevent the player's interest from deteriorating, maintain the game motivation, and notify the player of useful information in the static performance.

  Further, the specific effect executed by the effect execution means is determined by the lottery means to have won a predetermined combination among a plurality of types of combinations, and the symbol combination corresponding to the predetermined combination is displayed on the effective line. If the symbol combination corresponding to the specified combination is displayed on the active line (when winning the predetermined combination), the combination will be started after the internal winning of the combination. It is possible to prevent the player's interest from deteriorating until winning a prize and to maintain his willingness to play.

  Further, if the predetermined combination is a special combination for starting a special game advantageous to the player (in this embodiment, a bonus combination), a special profit can be obtained after a special profit can be obtained. It is possible to prevent a decrease in the interest of the player until it is confirmed, and to maintain the game motivation.

  In addition, the dynamic effect in the specific effect executed by the effect execution means is a dynamic blessing effect in which the effect mode is switched, suggesting that the lottery means has determined that the special role has been won internally, and the effect execution means The static effect in the specific effect executed by the determination is that the special combination is determined to be internally won by the lottery means, and the blessing effect mode in which the symbol combination corresponding to the special role is notified is a uniform effect mode. If it is a typical blessing production, the player's expectation that special benefits may be obtained can be enhanced by various productions, and such various productions are interrupted by notifications In this way, the player's interests can be prevented from lowering and the game motivation can be maintained.

  In addition, the reel stop control means (reel control processing in this embodiment) corresponds to one of the combinations such that one of the combinations is established when a plurality of combinations are internally won by the lottery means. The reel is stopped so that the symbol to be stopped is given priority on the active line, and the winning combination (the book) is stopped by the lottery means with priority over the symbol corresponding to the special role of a plurality of types. In the embodiment, when the re-playing role is won internally, the priority role is given priority over the special role and stopped on the active line, and the notification control means is in a specific effect executed by the effect execution means, If the notification content to the notification means is controlled so that the priority role is a notification target, the player can easily grasp the role to be stopped on the active line from the notification content, and the player's willingness to play It is possible to continue.

  In addition, if the notification control means controls the notification content to the notification means so that the priority role is emphasized over the special role in the specific effect executed by the effect execution means, the player is placed on the effective line. The combination to be stopped can be easily grasped from the notification contents, and the player's willingness to play can be maintained.

  In addition, in the specific effect executed by the effect execution unit, the notification control unit notifies the notification unit so as to stop the notification of the special role when the special role is notified when the priority role is notified. By controlling, the player can easily grasp the role to be stopped on the active line from the notification contents, and can maintain the player's willingness to play.

  Further, the apparatus further comprises a plurality of effect tables storing effects different for each effect mode, and effect mode information storage means for storing information indicating the effect mode, and the effect execution means is stored in the effect mode information storage means. If a specific effect of a different effect mode is executed based on the information indicating the effect mode, a variety of effects are possible, and the player's willingness to play can be improved.

  The present invention includes a plurality of reels 110 to 112 on which a plurality of types of symbols have been applied, and lottery means (in the above-described first embodiment, an internal lottery process) for determining whether or not an internal winning of a plurality of types of roles is successful. Based on the lottery result of the lottery means, the reel stop control means (reel control processing in the first embodiment) for performing stop control related to the stop of the rotation of the reel, and the preset effective line based on the lottery result of the lottery means A determination to determine whether or not a predetermined symbol combination is stopped and displayed on the display window 113 and whether or not the symbol combination displayed on the reel at the time of stop on the display window 113 is a predetermined symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination internally. However, the present invention is not limited to this, for example, a game ball (for example, a pachinko ball). Also, such as the game media and the slot machines and pachinko machines can be applied.

  Here, the pachinko gaming machine to which the present invention is applied includes a variable display device that has a movable body such as a reel (rotary body) and displays a predetermined pattern (identification information) in a variable manner. An example is a pachinko gaming machine in which a symbol is changed by a variable display device and then the symbol is stopped and displayed to notify the transition of the gaming state when the player enters and wins a prize.

  In such a pachinko gaming machine, when a game ball enters the start opening, a lottery is performed and it is determined whether or not the lottery result is a win. When winning the jackpot in this lottery, the variable display device displays a combination (a jackpot symbol; for example, 777) based on a specific symbol and shifts to a jackpot state. In the big hit state, the big prize opening is kept open, for example, for a predetermined time or a predetermined number of times, so that the game ball is easy to enter and a state advantageous to the player is realized. In addition, if the combination with a specific symbol (hit jackpot symbol) is a jackpot symbol (probability variation symbol) with probability variation, the probability of the next jackpot will be set higher, realizing a more advantageous state for the player Is done.

  In addition to the actual machines such as the slot machines and pachinko gaming machines described above, the gaming machine according to the present invention executes the operations of the actual machines such as the slot machines for arcade game machines and home game machines in a pseudo manner. Even in such a game program, a game can be executed by applying the present invention. In that case, a DVD-ROM, CD-ROM, FD (flexible disk), or any other recording medium can be used as a recording medium for recording the game program.
