  However, since the slot machine described in Patent Literature 1 notifies the player of the result of the role lottery, the effect pattern corresponding to the result of the role lottery is selected and displayed from a plurality of predetermined effect patterns. Is. Therefore, as the game continues, the player can determine the game state from the contents of the production pattern, and the player is less likely to guess and enjoy the game state or feel unexpected. It is difficult to maintain the player's interest in the game.

  Therefore, the object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, and to produce an effect that allows the player to enjoy the game state and to feel unexpected, and to increase and maintain the player's interest in the game. It is to provide a slot machine that can do this.

In order to achieve the above object, as a slot machine according to the present invention, a game medium is inserted, a plurality of reels on which a plurality of symbols are displayed are rotated and stopped, and the game medium is determined according to the stop symbol. A slot machine capable of performing a game in which the process of paying out is performed once, a role lottery means for performing a role lottery in which a role is determined by lottery from a role including a winning combination;
Reel control means for performing stop control of the reel corresponding to the reel stop signal among the plurality of rotated reels when the reel stop signal transmitted based on the stop operation of the player is received; When the winning combination is won by lottery, when it is determined that the symbol corresponding to the corresponding combination has stopped and won based on the result of the stop control, the game is advantageously advanced from the next game. A winning game control means for performing a winning game; and an effect control means capable of performing a predetermined effect, wherein the winning game includes a plurality of winning games with different end conditions, and the effect control means includes the winning game In the game, a special effect that can be continued over a plurality of games is performed until the end condition of each winning game is reached, and in games other than the winning game It is conceivable to perform the special effect when satisfying a predetermined requirement.

  Here, the “game medium” is a medium inserted into the slot machine for playing a game, and for example, a coin, a medal, a chip, or the like can be considered. Moreover, as long as this object can be achieved, the product is not limited to an article, and for example, an electromagnetically acting material such as a magnetic card can be applied.

  In addition, “inserting” a game medium includes actually inserting a game medium from a game medium slot provided in the slot machine, or storing it in a storage medium of the slot machine. This includes using a predetermined number of game media credited in advance.

  The “plurality of reels” includes a reel that is physically rotated and stopped by a motor or the like, and a reel on an image that is displayed on a display device and is rotated and stopped on an image. The “reel stop means” performs stop control of the rotating reel when receiving a stop signal transmitted based on the stop operation of the player. In this case, it is possible to set the rotation of all the reels to be stopped by one stop operation, or to set only the reels that have been operated to stop based on the operation corresponding to each reel. Is possible.

  The “combination” includes, for example, a “winning game” for performing a “winning game” that makes the game proceed in an advantageous manner for the player, and a “replaying game” for replaying a game without inserting a game medium. "Re-game combination" and a general combination for paying out a predetermined number of game media when winning.

  Here, “winning game” means “winning game” in which when a winning game is won by lottery and a game corresponding to the winning game stops and wins, the game proceeds in a manner advantageous to the player. It is a role that can be performed. The winning combination includes a big bonus combination (hereinafter referred to as BB combination) and a regular bonus combination (hereinafter referred to as RB combination), and other arbitrary winning games can be set.

  The RB combination is a combination that shifts to an RB game that is one of the winning games. In this RB game, a game in which a predetermined combination is won with a high probability can be performed a predetermined number of times under a certain condition. In addition, the BB combination is a combination that shifts to a BB game that is one of the winning games. For this BB game, for example, one type BB game and two types BB game can be set. A type 1 BB game is a game in which a general game and a transition to an RB game can be made under a certain condition during the general game, and until the predetermined number of game media payouts is reached, A game that can be played repeatedly. The type 2 BB game will be described later. In addition, as a condition for winning the winning game, for example, it is possible that the total payout number of game media played during the winning game has reached a predetermined end number, or winning a predetermined role in a role lottery. Is also possible.

  In addition to the above winning combination, the “combination” is not limited to a general combination that pays out a predetermined number of game media when winning, or “replay” that allows a game to be re-executed without inserting a game media. It is also possible to set “re-game” or the like.

  The “general combination” is a combination in which a predetermined number of game media are paid out when a general combination is won by lottery and a symbol corresponding to the general combination is won.

  “Re-playing” means that when a re-playing role is won by lottery and the symbol corresponding to the re-playing role stops and wins, the next game can be executed without throwing in game media. (Also called replay). Various other combinations can be added according to the game mode.

  In the “role lottery” for determining one combination, for example, it is desirable to generate a random number and determine one winning combination based on the value. Regarding the generation of random numbers, it is conceivable to use a random number generator or to generate them on software using a computer or the like.

  As for “stop control”, for example, when a predetermined combination is won by lot drawing, after the stop signal is received, the reel is slid within a predetermined range, and the combination of symbols corresponding to the predetermined combination is stopped. It is conceivable to perform control (pull-in control) so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination is not stopped (kick-up control).

  “Corresponding symbols stop” means, for example, that symbols determined corresponding to roles for each reel stop on a predetermined effective line, and predetermined symbols are aligned. The control means determines that “winning” has been made when it is determined that the corresponding symbol has stopped. In addition, as a requirement for winning, it is possible to make a requirement that a predetermined symbol is stopped on all reels, or to make a requirement that a predetermined symbol is stopped on some reels. Further, the predetermined symbol can be set to the same symbol for all the reels, or a different symbol can be set for each reel.

  On the other hand, “corresponding symbol does not stop” means that at least one symbol among the symbols that are requirements for winning is not stopped on the active line. Therefore, out of all symbols (all reels) required for winning a prize, some symbols are stopped on the active line, but even if some symbols are not stopped on the active line, all symbols ( This includes cases where all reels are not stopped on the active line.

  The “effect” is an effect that is performed separately from the original game of the gaming machine. For example, an effect using image display, lamp display, sound generation, object vibration, operation, or the like can be considered. Further, the “production control means” is a control means for controlling image display, lamp display, sound generation, object vibration, operation, and the like in order to perform the above-described effects.

  For example, when the effect is performed by image display, the effect control means sends a predetermined control signal to the image control means for displaying the image on the display device via the image driving device, and displays the predetermined effect image. Control. Specifically, the image control means reads predetermined image data stored in the storage area of the control circuit and transmits it to the image driving device, and the image driving device displays an effect image based on the transmitted image data, Display on the display device. Here, the effect image includes any image as long as it is an image displayed on the display device. For example, any image such as a character, a pattern, a color, and a pattern can be applied, and a still image and a moving image are also included. It can also be combined with voice.

  In this embodiment, in the winning game, the special effect can be continued over a plurality of games until the winning game end condition is reached, so the player's interest in the special effect is increased, and a plurality of different end conditions are different. Since the winning game is included and the duration of the special effect and the progress of the effect change, the player's interest in the special effect can be maintained.

It can be expected that the player's interest in the game will be enhanced and maintained.

  Furthermore, as the slot machine according to the present invention, the winning game includes a combination having a predetermined symbol combination as a winning symbol, and the predetermined requirement in the game other than the winning game is the predetermined lottery in the winning lottery. It is conceivable that the combination of symbols is won as a winning symbol.

  In this embodiment, in a game other than the winning game (for example, a general game), a special effect is given when a winning combination is used that has the same symbol as the winning symbol (predetermined symbol) used in the winning game. The player can expand his imagination as to whether or not the player has entered the game, and can be expected to raise interest in the game.

  Furthermore, as the slot machine according to the present invention, the winning game is subjected to a predetermined winning process when it is determined that the combination of the predetermined symbols is stopped based on the result of the stop control regardless of the result of the winning lottery. It is conceivable to include a single game in which a single game is continuously performed until the end condition is reached.

  Here, “single game” refers to a game that ends every time a winning combination is performed when a combination of predetermined symbols is stopped, regardless of the result of the lottery, and may be referred to as a CB game. is there. In addition, a winning game in which this single-shot game (CB game) can be continuously performed until a predetermined end condition is reached may be referred to as a two-type BB game.

  In the winning game described in this embodiment, a game with a predetermined symbol combination as a winning symbol is continuously performed. Therefore, when a game in which a special effect is performed with a predetermined symbol as a winning symbol continues, The player is expected to enter the game, and if it is during a general game, the player can be surprised, so it can be expected to increase the player's interest in the game. .

  Further, in the slot machine according to the present invention, the end condition of the winning game is that the total payout number of the game media in the winning game has reached a predetermined end number, and the predetermined end number value is determined. It is conceivable that a plurality of hit games having different numbers are included.

  In this embodiment, since there are a plurality of winning games with different total payout numbers of game media determined as the end condition, the special effect can be continued accordingly, for example, when the special effect continues for a long time. The player can expect the game to proceed particularly advantageously, and can expect to increase interest in the game.

  Furthermore, as the slot machine according to the present invention, it is conceivable that in the winning game, the special effect with the content that progresses as the game continues is performed.

<Description of Main Control Circuit 100>
The main control circuit 100 includes a winning lottery means 410, a reel control means 440, and a winning game control means 450.

  The role lottery means 410 performs a lottery of a combination (BB combination, RB combination, general combination, and replay combination) which are winning combinations by a combination lottery process. The role lottery means 410 includes, for example, a random number generator 112 (hard random number, etc.) for the role lottery, a random number extraction means 420 that extracts a random number generated by the random number generator 112, and a random value extracted by the random number extraction means 420 And random number determination means 430 for determining the presence / absence of a winning combination and the winning combination. The control processing by the role lottery means 410 is shown in the role lottery processing subroutine (see FIGS. 6 and 7).

  The reel control means 440 controls the motors 80L, 80C, 80R by receiving the reel rotation start signal transmitted from the start switch 50, rotates the reels 40L, 40C, 40R, and the stop switch 52L. , 52C, and 52R, control is performed on the reel operation to stop the reels 40L, 40C, and 40R in response to reception of a reel stop signal transmitted from a predetermined time. In the stop control, a symbol combination control is performed to prevent or prevent the stop symbols from being aligned according to the winning combination. The control processing by the reel control means 440 is shown in the reel fluctuation / stop subroutine (see FIG. 8).

  The winning game control means 450 is advantageous to the player when the winning lottery process determines that the winning symbol and the general symbol are won and the winning symbol determination regarding the symbol that has been stopped determines that the symbols corresponding to each symbol are complete. Payout of a game or a predetermined number of game media that progresses to

<Description of main routine>
First, the control process of the main routine will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In this main routine, a control process when a game is performed once, in which one step from when a player inserts a game medium until a plurality of reels displaying a plurality of symbols is rotated and stopped is performed once. Indicates.

  First, it is determined whether or not the value of the parameter NRP is greater than 0 (step S11). Here, the NRP is a parameter that determines whether or not to replay, and is set so that replay is performed when it is larger than 0, and replay is not performed when it is 0 or less. Further, as shown in step S166 of FIG. 13, when the re-game player is won and won, 1 is input as the value of NRP.

  If it is determined in step 11 that the value of NRP is 0 or less (NO), it is determined that no re-game is performed, and then it is determined whether or not a game medium has been inserted (step). S12). If it is determined in this determination that a game medium has been inserted (YES), the process proceeds to step S15, and the inserted number counted by the game medium counter installed below the game medium insertion port 38 is detected as the number of bets. To do. However, when the number of game media exceeding the specified number (three in this embodiment) is inserted, the game media exceeding the specified number is stored in the RAM 110 as the number of credits.

  If it is determined in step S12 that no game medium is inserted (NO), it is next determined whether or not there is a credited game medium (step S13). If it is determined in this determination that there is no credited game medium (NO), the process returns to step S12 again, and the determination processes in steps S12 and S13 are repeated.

  If it is determined in step S13 that there is a credited game medium (YES), it is next determined whether or not a bet operation signal has been received (step S14). This bet operation signal is transmitted when the player operates any one of the bet switches 32, 34 and 36. If it is determined in this determination that the bet operation signal has not been received (NO), the process returns to step S12 again, and the determination processing from step S12 to step S14 is repeatedly executed. If it is determined in step S14 that a bet signal has been received (YES), the number of bets is detected from the received bet operation signal (step S15). In either case of inserting a game medium or using a credited game medium, the detected bet number is stored in the RAM 110 as a new bet number, and when using a credited game medium, A process of subtracting the number of credits of the game medium by the number of detected bets is performed (step S16). Then, the process proceeds to a combination lottery processing subroutine (step S18).

  If it is determined in step S11 that the value of NRP is greater than 0 (YES) and the player is in the replaying state, 0 is input to the value of NRP to cancel the replaying state (step S17). Without performing the process from S12 to step S16, the process proceeds to the winning lottery process subroutine (step S18). That is, when it is determined that the game is in the re-gaming state, the game can be performed without newly inserting a game medium or consuming the credited game medium. In this embodiment, the bet number in the re-game is controlled so as to set the same bet number as the bet in the previous game. However, a bet number different from the bet number in the previous game is set. It is also possible to perform control.

  In the combination lottery processing subroutine of step S18, combination lottery is performed by the combination lottery means 410, and a flag-on process for turning on the RB flag, the BB flag, the replay flag, and the general combination flag is performed according to the winning combination. . Details of this subroutine will be described later with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

  Subsequent to the role lottery processing subroutine (step S18), on the basis of the result of the role lottery, the reel variation and stop subroutine (step S19) for performing control processing relating to the movement of the reels that are stopped after the reels 40L, 40C, 40R are rotated. ) Is performed. This reel fluctuation / stop subroutine is performed by the reel control means 440, and details of this subroutine will be described later with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  Next, after the reels are stopped by the reel fluctuation / stop subroutine, a winning symbol determination is performed, and based on the determination result, a winning determination and flag off processing subroutine (step S20) for performing flag-off processing is performed. Details of this subroutine will be described later with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

  Then, a payout process (step S21) for paying out a predetermined number of game media corresponding to the winning game based on the winning lottery and winning symbol determination is performed. In the payout process, it is possible to actually pay out the game media from the game media payout outlet 62, or to credit a predetermined number of game media instead of paying out.

  One game is completed by the above control processing. By repeating the control process shown in this main routine, the player can play a plurality of times.

<Role lottery processing subroutine>
Next, the combination lottery processing subroutine performed in step S18 of the main routine will be described in detail with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS.

  First, it is determined whether a start switch ON signal has been received (step S31). The start switch ON signal is a signal transmitted by the operation means 300 when the player operates the start switch 50. Based on this signal, the reel control means 440 performs control for starting the rotation of the reel. This is performed (see step S63 in FIG. 8).

  If it is determined that the start switch ON signal is not received (NO), the determination process in step S31 is repeated. In other words, the player waits for the game to start until the player operates the start switch 50.

  If it is determined in step S31 that a start switch ON signal has been received (YES), a game start signal is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 200 (step S32). In the sub control circuit 200, based on the signal transmitted in step S32, determination processing (see FIG. 16) in step S211 of the special effect control subroutine is performed.

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the value of the parameter NRB is greater than 0 (step S33). The NRB is a parameter that determines whether or not to play an RB game. The NRB is set so as to play an RB game when it is larger than 0 and not to play an RB game when it is less than 0. Further, as shown in step S124 in FIG. 11 and step S182 in FIG. 14, when the RB combination is won and won, 1 is input as the value of NRB.

  If it is determined in step S33 that the NRB value is greater than 0 (YES), the RB lottery table stored in the ROM 108 is read (step S34), and the process proceeds to step S41. Here, an example of the RB lottery table is shown in FIG.

  In the RB lottery table, three types of general combinations of symbol numbers 1 to 3 and a deviation of symbol number 4 are set. If the winning combination in the lottery is 1/80 and the symbol on the left reel is cherry, the general combination 1 with symbol number 1 wins the symbol on any of the remaining two reels. Is set to

  The general combination 2 with symbol number 2 is set to win when the winning probability in the combination lottery is 1 / 1.03 and all three reels have the same bell symbol. Therefore, during the RB game, the possibility of winning the general combination 2 in the combination lottery is very high. Further, the general combination 3 with the symbol number 3 is set to win when the winning probability in the combination lottery is 1/100 and the three reels have the same watermelon symbol. The probability of symbol number 4 falling is set to a low value of about 1/100.

  If it is determined in step S33 that the NRB value is 0 or less (NO), it is next determined whether or not the parameter NBB value is greater than 0 (step S35). NBB is a parameter that determines whether or not to play a BB game and the type of BB game to be played. Specifically, when the value of NBB is 1, one type BB game is played, and when the value of NBB is 11 to 18, two types of BBn games (n = 1 to 8) are played, respectively. When the value is 0 or less, it is set not to play the BB game. Further, as shown in steps S185 and S187 in FIG. 14, when winning the BB combination and winning, 1 or 11 to 18 is input as the value of NBB.

  If it is determined in step S35 that NBB is greater than 0 (YES), then a BB operating signal is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 200 (step S36), and the process proceeds to step S37. The sub-control circuit 200 performs the determination process (see FIG. 16) in step S212 of the special effect control subroutine based on the signal transmitted in step S36.

  And it is judged whether the value of NBB is larger than 1 (step S37). In this determination, if it is determined that the value of NBB is 1 or less (NO), the general lottery table at the time of type 1 BB operation stored in the ROM 108 is read (step S38), and the process proceeds to step S41. Here, FIG. 18 shows an example of the general lottery table when the type 1 BB is operated.

  The 1st-type BB operation general lottery table is a lottery table used in a state where the 1st-type BB game is in progress and not in the RB game. In the case of one type BB game and RB game, the RB lottery table shown in FIG. 17 is used. In the one-type BB operation general lottery table, three types of general combinations of symbol numbers 1 to 3, an RB combination of symbol number 4, and a deviation of symbol number 5 are set. Here, as compared with a general lottery table when BB is not operated (see FIG. 20), which will be described later, the general lottery table when one type BB is operated is set to have no re-game combination and BB combination.

  If the winning combination in the lottery is 1/80 and the symbol on the left reel is cherry, the general combination 1 with symbol number 1 wins the symbol on any of the remaining two reels. Is set to The general combination 2 with the symbol number 2 is set to win when the winning probability in the combination lottery is 1/13 and all three reels have the same bell symbol.

  The general combination 3 with symbol number 3 is set to win when the winning probability in the combination lottery is 1/100 and all three reels have the same watermelon symbol. The RB combination with symbol number 4 is set to win when the winning probability in the combination lottery is 1/4 and the left reel has a bar and the middle and right reel have replay symbols. In the BB non-operating general lottery table to be described later (see FIG. 20), the winning probability of the RB role in the role lottery is 1/600. Is set. The probability of symbol number 5 losing in the role lottery is set to about 1 / 1.54.

  Next, when it is determined in step S37 that the value of NBB is greater than 1 (YES), the general lottery table when the type 2 BB is not operating stored in the ROM 108 is read (step S39), and the process proceeds to step S41. move on. As described above, in this embodiment, there are 8 types of 2 types BB games of 2 types BBn (n = 1 to 8), but each 2 types of BB games have different end conditions, but the same in the lottery. The lottery table is used. Here, FIG. 19 shows an example of the general lottery table when the type 2 BB is not operated.

  In the general lottery table at the time of the two-type BB operation, three types of general combinations of symbol numbers 1 to 3, an RB combination of symbol number 4 and a deviation of symbol number 5 are set. For the three types of general combinations of symbol numbers 1 to 3, the same setting is made for the above-described general lottery table (see FIG. 18) at the time of the 1 type BB operation and the winning probability and symbol settings in the combination lottery. The RB combination with symbol number 4 is set to win when the winning probability in the combination lottery is 1/600 and all three reels have the blue 7 symbol. In addition, the probability of losing symbol number 5 in the role lottery is set to about 1 / 1.289.

  As will be described later, except for the case where the RB role is won in the role lottery, even if the general roles 1 to 3 are won in the role lottery, the game state where all the general roles 1 to 3 are won The predetermined reel stop control corresponding to the gaming state is set, and when a winning symbol is prepared, a predetermined number of gaming media are paid out. In addition, when the RB combination is won in the combination lottery, the two-type BB game is ended (see step S44 in FIG. 7).

  Next, returning to the determination in step S35, when it is determined that the value of NBB is 0 or less (NO), the BB non-operating general lottery table stored in the ROM 108 is then read (step S40), and the process proceeds to step S41. move on. Here, an example of the general lottery table when the BB is not operated is shown in FIG.

  As already explained, the BB non-operating general lottery table is a lottery table used in the normal gaming state, and includes three general roles of symbol numbers 1 to 3, a re-playing role of symbol number 4, and symbol number 5 RB combination, 1 type BB combination of symbol number 6, 2 types of BB 1 to 8 combinations of symbol numbers 7 to 14, and deviation of symbol number 15 are set. For the three types of general combinations of symbol numbers 1 to 3, the same setting is made for the above-described general lottery table (see FIG. 18) at the time of the 1 type BB operation and the winning probability and symbol settings in the combination lottery. The re-game combination with symbol number 4 is set to win when the winning probability in the combination lottery process is 1 / 7.3 and all three reels have the replay symbols.

  The RB combination with symbol number 5 has a winning probability of 1/600 in the combination lottery process, and is set to win when the symbols of the bars are aligned on all three reels. The chance of winning is low. The 1-type BB combination of symbol number 6 is set to win if the winning probability in the combination lottery process is 1/380 and all three reels have the red 7 symbol.

  In addition, for the 2 types BB1 combination of symbol number 7, the winning probability in the combination lottery process is 1/300, and it is set to win when the replay is on the left reel and the bell symbol is on the right reel. Has been. The 2nd type BB2 combination with symbol number 8 is set to win when the winning probability in the combination lottery process is 1/300, and the replay is on the left and right reels and the bell symbol is on the middle reel. Yes. The 2nd type BB3 combination of symbol number 9 is set to win when the winning probability in the combination lottery process is 1/900 and the left and middle reels are replayed and the right reel is allotted the bell symbol. Yes. The 2nd type BB4 role with symbol number 10 is set to win if the winning probability in the role lottery process is 1/900 and the left and middle reels are replayed and the watermelon symbols are on the right reel. Yes. As for the 2 types BB5 combination with symbol number 11, the winning probability in the combination lottery process is 1/1800, and if the replay is on the left reel, the bell is on the middle reel, and the watermelon is on the right reel, it will win a prize. Is set. As for the 2 types BB6 role of symbol number 12, the winning probability in the winning lottery process is 1/1800, and if the replay is on the left reel, the watermelon is on the middle reel, and the bell symbol is on the right reel, it will win a prize. Is set. The 2nd class BB7 role with symbol number 13 is set to win when the winning probability in the winning lottery process is 1/1800, the replay is on the left and right reels, and the watermelon symbol is on the middle reel. Yes. The 2nd BB8 combination of symbol number 14 is set to win when the winning probability in the combination lottery process is 1/1800 and the left reel has the replay and the middle and right reels have the watermelon symbol. Yes. In addition, the probability in the extra lottery is set at about 1 / 1.59.

  As described above, after the lottery table corresponding to the state of the game is read out, the lottery for obtaining the random number and performing the lottery determination is performed (step S41). Specifically, random numbers generated by the random number generator 112 are extracted by the random number extraction means 420, and the random number determination means 430 compares the extracted random numbers with the read lottery table and determines the winning.

  Then, the process proceeds to FIG. 7 following FIG. 6, and it is determined whether or not the RB combination is won as a result of this determination (step S42). If it is determined in this determination that the RB combination has been won (YES), it is next determined whether or not the value of the parameter NBB is greater than 1 (step S43). In this determination, if it is determined that the value of NBB is greater than 1 (YES), that is, if it is determined that the type 2 BBn game is in progress (n = 1 to 8), 0 is input as the value of NBB. (Step S44), the process proceeds to Step S45. That is, during the two-type BBn game (n = 1 to 8), if the RB combination is won by the combination lottery, a control process is performed to end the two-type BBn game (n = 1 to 8). If it is determined in step S43 that the NBB value is 1 or less (NO), the process proceeds directly to step S45, the RB combination flag is turned on, and stored in the RAM 110 (step S45), and the process proceeds to step S58. move on.

  If it is determined in step S42 that the RB combination is not won (NO), it is next determined whether or not the value of the parameter NBB is greater than 1 (step S46). In this determination, if it is determined that the value of NBB is greater than 1 (YES), that is, if it is determined that the type 2 BBn game is in progress (n = 1 to 8), the CB flag is turned on (step S47), the process proceeds to step S48. If it is determined in step S46 that the NBB value is 1 or less (NO), the process proceeds directly to step S48 to determine whether or not the BB combination is won (step S48).

  If it is determined in this determination that the BB combination has been won (YES), it is next determined whether or not the 1 type BB combination has been won (step S49). If it is determined in this determination that the type 1 BB combination is won (YES), the type 1 BB combination flag is turned on and stored in the RAM 110 (step S50), and the process proceeds to step S58.

  If it is determined in step S49 that the type 1 BB combination is not won (NO), it is determined that the type 2 BBn combination (n = 1 to 8) has been won, and the type 2 BBn flag (n = 1-8) is turned on (step S51), and the process proceeds to step S58.

  If it is determined in step S48 that the BB combination is not won (NO), it is next determined whether or not the re-game combination is won (step S52). In this determination, if it is determined that the re-gamer is won by the role lottery (YES), the re-game flag is turned on and stored in the RAM 110 (step S53), and the process proceeds to step S58.

  If it is determined in step S52 that the re-playing combination is not won (NO), it is next determined whether or not the general combination is won (step S54). In this determination, if it is determined that the general combination is won by the combination lottery (YES), the general combination flag is turned on and stored in the RAM 110 (step S55), and then the general combination 2 flag is turned on. It is determined whether or not (step S56). If it is determined in this determination that the general combination 2 flag is on (YES), a general combination 2 flag on signal is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 200 (step S57), and the process proceeds to step S58. In the sub control circuit 200, based on the signal transmitted in step S57, determination processing (see FIG. 16) in steps S219 and S220 of the special effect control subroutine is performed.

  If it is determined in step S54 that the player has not won the general combination (NO), the process proceeds to step S58 without performing the flag-on process.

  After performing a series of processes related to flag-on as described above, in step 58, the symbol number and control symbol data corresponding to the winning combination in the winning lottery are read from the ROM 108 and used for the reel fluctuation and stop subroutine described later. This data is stored in the RAM 110, and this subroutine is terminated.

<Explanation of reel fluctuation / stop subroutine>
Next, in the main routine of FIG. 5, when the above-described combination lottery processing subroutine (step S18) is completed, a reel fluctuation and stop subroutine (step S19) is then performed. The reel fluctuation / stop subroutine will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  First, the symbol number and control symbol data stored in step S58 of FIG. 7 are read (step S61). Then, it is determined whether or not a predetermined shortest time has elapsed (step S62). If it is determined in this determination that the shortest time has not elapsed (NO), the determination process in step S62 is repeatedly executed. That is, the rotation of the reel, which is the next process, cannot be started until the shortest time has elapsed. By this control, the number of games played in a certain time is controlled to be within a predetermined number.

  If it is determined in step S62 that the shortest time has elapsed (YES), the start switch ON signal has already been received (see step S31 in FIG. 6), and therefore the reel rotation start signal is transmitted to the motor drive circuit. 114, the rotation of the motors 80L, 80C, 80R is started, and the reels 40L, 40C, 40R are rotated (step S63).

  Next, it is determined whether or not the reel that has started rotating is rotating at a constant speed (step S64). If it is determined in this determination that the reel has not yet rotated at a constant speed (NO), the determination process in step S64 is repeated. That is, the reel stop control, which is the next step, cannot be performed until the rotation of the reel reaches a constant speed.

  If it is determined in step S64 that the reel has been rotated at a constant speed (YES), it is next determined whether a reel stop signal has been received (step S65). Here, the reel stop signal is a signal transmitted by the operation means 300 when the player pushes any one of the stop switches 52L, 52C, 52R.

  If it is determined in step S65 that the reel stop operation detection signal has been received (YES), the reel control means 440 controls the reel symbol combination control (stop control) corresponding to the stop switch that has transmitted the operation detection signal. ) (Step S66), the process proceeds to step S67.

  Here, the control processing in steps S65 and S66 will be described in more detail. When the stop switch 52L for the left reel is pushed, the reel control means 440 uses the motor 80L that rotates the left reel 40L. Stop control of step S66 is performed. Similarly, when the stop switch 52C for the middle reel is pushed, the stop control in step S66 is performed for the motor 80C that rotates the middle reel 40C, and the stop switch 52R for the right reel is pushed. In this case, the stop control in step S66 is performed for the motor 80R that rotates the right reel 40R.

  The symbol combination control (stop control) is a motor stop that slides the reel for a maximum of four frames on the basis of the symbol number and control symbol data read in step S61, and stops a predetermined symbol within that range. Control (retraction control) or stop control (kicking control) of the motor that is not stopped is performed. A more detailed description of the control will be omitted.

  If it is determined in step S65 that the reel stop signal has not been received (NO), the control proceeds to step S67 without performing control related to the stop. In step S67, it is determined whether all reels have stopped. If it is determined in this determination that all the reels are not stopped (NO), it is next determined whether or not the time limit has elapsed (step S68). In this determination, if it is determined that the time limit has not been reached (NO), the process returns to step S65 again, and the control processing from step S65 to step S68 is repeated. As described above, until all the reels stop or until the time limit elapses, the process of performing symbol combination control (stop control) of the corresponding reels is repeated every time the reel stop signal is received.

  If it is determined in step S68 that the time limit has elapsed (YES), automatic symbol stop control is performed for reels that are still rotating to stop all reels (step S69), and this subroutine is executed. finish. In the automatic symbol stop control, stop control (kicking control) is performed so as not to stop the winning symbol. Next, returning to the determination of step S67, if it is determined that all the reels are stopped (YES), this subroutine is terminated as it is.

<Explanation of Winning Determination and Flag Off Processing Subroutine>
In the main routine of FIG. 5, when the reel fluctuation / stop subroutine (step S19) is completed, a winning determination and flag-off process subroutine (step 20) is performed. Next, the winning determination and flag off processing subroutine will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  First, it is determined whether or not the value of NRB is greater than 0, that is, whether or not the game state is RB game (step S91). If it is determined in this determination that the value of NRB is larger than 0 (YES), an RB gaming process subroutine (step S92) is performed, and the winning determination and flag-off process subroutine is terminated. A detailed description of the RB game processing subroutine will be described later.

  If it is determined in step S91 that NRB is 0 or less (NO), next, whether or not the value of NBB is larger than 0, that is, whether or not the state of the game is BB game. Is determined (step S93). If it is determined in this determination that the NBB value is greater than 0 (YES), it is next determined whether or not the NBB value is greater than 1 (step S94). If it is determined in this determination that the value of NBB is 1 or less (NO), a one-type BB in-game processing subroutine (step S95) is performed, and the winning determination and flag-off processing subroutine is terminated. A detailed description of the type 1 BB in-game processing subroutine will be given later.

  If it is determined in step S94 that the value of NBB is greater than 1, a two-type BB gaming subroutine (step S96) is performed, and the winning determination and flag-off process subroutine is terminated. A detailed description of the two-type BB in-game processing subroutine will be described later.

  If it is determined in step S93 that the NBB value is 0 or less (NO), it is next determined whether or not there is a winning combination (step S97). If it is determined in this determination that there is a winning combination (YES), a winning combination processing subroutine (step S98) is performed, and the winning determination and flag off processing subroutine is terminated. A detailed description of the winning combination processing subroutine will be described later.

  If it is determined in step S97 that there is no winning combination (NO), the winning determination and flag-off processing subroutine is terminated. Details of the general processing subroutine will be described later.

  Hereinafter, a detailed description of the subroutine shown in steps S92, S95, S96, and S98 will be given.

<Description of processing subroutine during RB game>
First, a detailed description of the RB game processing subroutine (step S92) executed when it is determined in step 91 that the RB game is being performed will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  First, it is determined whether or not the reel symbol stopped by the reel fluctuation / stop subroutine described above has won a prize (step S101). Next, the game count and the winning count are counted, the game count and winning count data are updated, and the updated data is stored in the RAM 110 (step S102). These data are used as the RB game end condition. When the number of games or the number of winnings reaches a predetermined number, the RB game is ended.

  Next, it is determined whether or not there is a winning (step S103). If it is determined in this determination that there is a prize (YES), the game medium payout number is referred to (step S104), and the process proceeds to step S105. If it is determined in step S103 that there is no winning (NO), the process proceeds to step S105.

  In step S105, it is determined whether or not the type 1 BB game is being played (step S105). In this determination, if it is determined that the type 1 BB game is being played (YES), that is, the type 1 BB game is being played in the RB game, the number of payouts is counted to update the payout number data. The stored data is stored in the RAM 110 (step S106). This data is used as the termination condition for the type 1 BB game. When the number of payouts reaches a predetermined number, the type 1 BB game is terminated.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the one-type BB game end condition is achieved (step S107). In this determination, if it is determined that the termination condition for the type 1 BB game is achieved (YES), 0 is input to the values of NBB and NRB to cancel the RB gaming state and the type 1 BB gaming state. (Step S108). Then, a BB end signal is transmitted to the sub control circuit 200 (step S109), and this subroutine is ended. In the sub control circuit 200, based on the signal transmitted in step S109, the determination process (see FIG. 16) in step S217 of the special effect control subroutine is performed.

  If it is determined in step S107 that the one-type BB end condition is not achieved (NO), it is next determined whether or not the RB end condition is achieved (step S110). In this determination, if it is determined that the RB end condition is achieved (YES), 0 is input to the value of NRB to release the RB gaming state (step S111), and this subroutine is ended. If it is determined in step S110 that the RB termination condition has not been achieved (NO), the subroutine is terminated without releasing the RB gaming state.

  Returning to the determination in step S105, if it is determined that the type 1 BB game is not being played (NO), it is next determined whether or not the RB end condition is achieved (step S112). If it is determined in this determination that the RB end condition is achieved (YES), 0 is input to the value of NRB to release the RB gaming state (step S113), and this subroutine is ended. If it is determined in step S112 that the RB termination condition has not been achieved (NO), the subroutine is terminated without releasing the RB gaming state.

<Description of processing subroutine for type 1 BB game>
Next, in the winning determination and flag-off process subroutine (see FIG. 9), a detailed description of the one-type BB game processing subroutine (see step S95) executed when it is determined in step S94 that the one-type BB game is in progress. This will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  First, it is determined whether or not a reel symbol stopped by the reel fluctuation and stop subroutine described above has won a prize (step S121). Next, as a result of the winning symbol determination, it is determined whether or not any winning combination has been won (step S122). If it is determined in this determination that there is a winning (YES), it is then determined whether or not the RB combination has won (step S123). If it is determined in this determination that the RB combination has won (YES), 1 is input to the NRB value to set the RB gaming state (step S124), and the RB flag is turned off (step S125). The process proceeds to step S129.

  If it is determined in step S123 that the RB combination has not won (NO), the game medium payout number is referred to (step S126). Then, the general combination flag is turned off (step S127), and the process proceeds to step S129. Returning to the determination in step S122, if it is determined that there is no winning (NO), if any flag is turned on, the flag is turned off (step S128), and the process proceeds to step S128.

  In step S129, the payout number is counted, the payout number data is updated, and the updated data is stored in the RAM 110 (step S129). This data is used as the termination condition for the type 1 BB game. When the payout number reaches a predetermined number, the type 1 BB game is terminated.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the termination condition for the type 1 BB game has been achieved (step S130). If it is determined in this determination that the BB game end condition has been achieved (YES), 0 is input to the value of NBB to release the BB game state (step S131). Then, a BB end signal is transmitted to the sub control circuit 200 (step S132), and this subroutine is ended. The sub-control circuit 200 performs the determination process (see FIG. 16) in step S217 of the special effect control subroutine based on the signal transmitted in step S132. If it is determined in step S130 that the BB termination condition has not been achieved (NO), this subroutine is terminated.

<Description of Subroutine for Type 2 BB Game>
Next, in the winning determination and flag-off process subroutine (see FIG. 9), a detailed description of the two-type BB game processing subroutine (see step S96) executed when it is determined in step S94 that the two-type BB game is being played. This will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  First, it is determined whether or not a reel symbol stopped by the reel fluctuation and stop subroutine described above has won a prize (step S141). Next, as a result of the winning symbol determination, it is determined whether or not any winning combination has been won (step S142). If it is determined in this determination that there is a prize (YES), the game medium payout number is referred to (step S143), and the process proceeds to step S144. If it is determined in step S142 that no winning combination has been won (NO), the process directly proceeds to step S144.

  In step S144, the CB flag is turned off (step S144), the number of payouts is counted, the payout number data is updated, and the updated data is stored in the RAM 110 (step S145). Used as a game end condition, when the payout number reaches a predetermined number, the two-type BB game is ended.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the termination condition for the type 2 BB game has been achieved, specifically, whether or not the total payout number of game media in the type 2 BB is greater than SHURYO-15 (step S146). Here, SHURYO is the end number set for each of the two types of BBn games (n = 1 to 8) (see FIG. 14, step S187).

  In step S146, if it is determined that the total payout number of game media in type 2 BB is greater than SHURYO-15 (YES), that is, it is determined that the type 2 BB game end condition has been achieved. At this time, 0 is input to the value of NBB to release the BB gaming state (step S147). In the present embodiment, in all BB games, when a prize is awarded and a game medium is paid out, control is performed so that 15 game media are always paid out.

  Then, a BB end signal is transmitted to the sub control circuit 200 (step S148), and this subroutine is ended. The sub-control circuit 200 performs the determination process (see FIG. 16) in step S217 of the special effect control subroutine based on the signal transmitted in step S148. Also, if it is determined in step S146 that the total payout number of game media in type 2 BB is equal to or less than the value of SHURYO-15 (NO), that is, it is determined that the BB termination condition has not been achieved. If so, this subroutine is terminated as it is.

<Explanation of the processing sub-routine at the time of winning>
Next, in the winning determination and flag off processing subroutine (see FIG. 9), the detailed explanation of the winning combination processing subroutine (see step S98) executed when it is determined in step S97 that there is a winning combination is shown in the flowchart of FIG. Will be described.

  First, it is determined whether or not the reel symbol stopped by the reel fluctuation / stop subroutine described above has won a prize (step S161). Next, as a result of the winning symbol determination, it is determined whether or not any winning combination has been won (step S162).

  If it is determined in this determination that a prize has been won (YES), it is next determined whether or not the BB combination or the RB combination has won (step S163). If it is determined in this determination that the BB combination or RB combination has won (YES), the BB / RB determination processing subroutine is performed (step S164), and this subroutine is terminated. A detailed description of the BB and RB determination processing subroutine will be described later.

  If it is determined in step S163 that the BB combination or RB combination has not won (NO), it is next determined whether or not the re-game combination has won (step S165). If it is determined in this determination that the re-game player has won (YES), 1 is input to the value of NRP to set the re-game state (step S166). Then, the re-game player flag is turned off. If the BB and RB flags are on, carry-over processing of the BB and RB flags is performed (step S167), and this subroutine is terminated. If it is determined in S165 that the re-game combination is not won (NO), it is determined that the general combination has been won, and the payout number of game media is referred to (step S168). Then, the general combination flag is turned off. If the BB and RB flags are on, carry-over processing of the BB and RB flags is performed (step S169), and this subroutine is finished.

  Returning to the determination in step S162, if it is determined that there is no winning (NO), it is next determined whether or not the BB and RB flags are on (step S170). In this determination, if it is determined that the BB and RB flags are turned on (YES), carry-over processing of the BB and RB flags is performed, and the other flags (re-playing game, general game) are turned on. If so, the flag is turned off (step S171), and this subroutine is terminated.

  If it is determined in step S170 that the BB and RB flags are not turned on (NO), the flag-on flag (replaying game, general role) is turned off (step S172). Exit the subroutine.

<BB, RB determination processing subroutine>
Next, in the winning combination processing subroutine (see FIG. 13), a detailed explanation of the BB and RB determination processing subroutine (see step S164) executed when it is determined in step S163 that the BB winning combination or RB winning combination has been won. This will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  First, it is determined whether or not the BB combination has won a prize (step S181). If it is determined in this determination that the BB combination has not won (NO), it is determined that the RB combination has won and 1 is input to the value of the NRB to set the RB gaming state (step S182). ). Then, the RB flag is turned off (step S183), and this subroutine is terminated.

  If it is determined in step S181 that the BB combination has won (YES), it is next determined whether or not the 1st type BB combination has won (step S184). If it is determined in this determination that the type 1 BB has been won (YES), 1 is input as the NBB value and 345 is input as the SHURYO value to set the type 1 BB gaming state (step S185). ). Then, the type 1 BB flag is turned off (step S186), and the process proceeds to step S189. Here, SHURYO is the maximum payout number (end number) of game media in each BB game, which is the end condition for the 1st type BB game and the 2nd type BBn game.

  If it is determined in step 184 that the 1st type BB combination has not won (NO), it is determined that the 2nd type BB combination has won, and the value of NBB and SHURYO is set to the 2nd type BBn ( A value corresponding to n = 1 to 8) is input to set two types of BBn games (n = 1 to 8) (step S187).

  Specifically, when n = 1, 11 is input as the NBB value and 15 is input as the SHURYO value. That is, the number of finishes that is the end condition of the type 2 BB1 game is 15. Similarly, when n = 2, 12 is input as the NBB value and 30 is input as the SHURYO value. In other words, the end number of the two-type BB2 game is 30. Similarly, when n = 3, 13 is input as the value of NBB and 90 is input as the value of SHURYO. That is, the number of endings of the type 2 BB3 game is 90. Similarly, when n = 4, 14 is input as the value of NBB and 120 is input as the value of SHURYO. In other words, the number of ending types 2 BB4 game is 120.

  Similarly, when n = 5, 15 is input as the value of NBB and 180 is input as the value of SHURYO. That is, the end number of the two-type BB5 games is 180. Similarly, when n = 6, 16 is input as the value of NBB and 240 is input as the value of SHURYO. That is, the number of endings of the type 2 BB6 game is 240. Similarly, when n = 7, 17 is input as the value of NBB and 285 is input as the value of SHURYO. That is, the ending number of types 2 BB7 game is 285. Similarly, when n = 8, 18 is input as the NBB value and 345 is input as the SHURYO value. That is, the number of endings of the type 2 BB8 game is 345.

  Following the setting process in step S187, the two-type BBn flag (n = 1 to 8) is turned off (step S188), and the process proceeds to step S189. In step S189, a BB winning signal is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 200 (step S189), and this subroutine is terminated. In the sub control circuit 200, based on the signal transmitted in step S189, the determination process (see FIG. 15) in step S201 of the special effect setting subroutine is performed. The BB winning signal includes information about the input NBB value.

<Description of main routine (continued)>
As described above, the subroutine shown in steps S92, S95, S96, and S98 ends, and the winning determination and flag-off process subroutine shown in FIG. 9 ends. Here, returning to the main routine of FIG. 5, the winning determination and flag-off process subroutine of step S20 is terminated, the payout process of step S21 is terminated, and the main routine is terminated. Thereby, the control process for performing a game in which one process from the time the symbol fluctuates until it stops is completed.

<Special production setting subroutine>
Next, the special effect setting subroutine performed in the sub-control circuit 200 will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG. This subroutine shows a control process for setting the number of games for displaying special effects corresponding to each BB game when the BB combination wins.

  First, it is determined whether a BB winning signal (see FIG. 14, step S189) is received from the main control circuit 100 (step S201). If it is determined in this determination that the BB winning signal has been received (YES), a control process for setting the value of the number of games KAISU for displaying a special effect corresponding to the value of NBB is performed (step S202). ). Specifically, when NBB = 1 (1 type BB), 24 is input as the value of KAISU. Similarly, when NBB = 11 (type 2 BB1), 2 is input to the value of KAISU. Similarly, when NBB = 12 (type 2 BB2), 3 is input to the value of KAISU. Similarly, when NBB = 13 (type 2 BB3), 7 is input as the value of KAISU. Similarly, when NBB = 14 (type 2 BB4), 9 is input to the value of KAISU. Similarly, when NBB = 15 (type 2 BB5), 13 is input as the value of KAISU. Similarly, when NBB = 16 (type 2 BB6), 17 is input as the value of KAISU. Similarly, when NBB = 17 (type 2 BB7), 21 is input as the value of KAISU. Similarly, when NBB = 18 (type 2 BB8), 24 is input as the value of KAISU.

  In each of the two types BBn (n = 1 to 8), the value of KAISU has a relationship of KAISU = SHURYO / 15 + 1. That is, the value of SHURYO is calculated by adding the number of games that reach the end condition when 15 game media are paid out in a single game and one game for the final effect. In the present embodiment, in all BB games, when a prize is awarded and a game medium is paid out, control is performed so that 15 game media are always paid out.

  In addition, in the 1 type BB game, 24 is input as the value of KAISU, but the 1 type BB game may continue more than 24 times. In this case, in the game after 25 times, a special It is set to display an effect of the content that continues in the effect.

  Subsequent to the setting process in step S202, 1 is input to the value of the counter N (step S203), and this subroutine is terminated. Here, N is a counter for determining whether or not to perform a special effect, and for controlling the number of games for displaying the special effect, and is set to 0 in the initial state. If it is determined in step S201 that the BB winning signal has not been received (NO), this subroutine is terminated as it is.

<Special production control subroutine>
Next, the special effect control subroutine performed by the sub-control circuit 200 will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG. This subroutine shows a control process for displaying a special effect based on a signal received from the main control circuit 100.

  First, it is determined whether or not a game start signal (see step S32 in FIG. 6) is received from the main control circuit 100 (step S211). If it is determined in this determination that the game start signal has not been received (NO), this determination process is repeated. That is, it is in a standby state until a game start signal is received.

  If it is determined in step S211 that a game start signal has been received (YES), it is next determined whether or not a BB operating signal (see FIG. 6, step S36) has been received (step S212). . In this determination, if it is determined that the BB operating signal is received (YES), that is, if it is determined that the BB game is being performed, it is next determined whether or not the value of N is greater than 0 (step) S213). As described above, N is a counter for determining whether or not to perform a special effect, and for controlling the number of games for displaying the special effect, and when the special effect is not performed, 0 is set as the value. Is started, 1 is input as the value of N (see step S203 in FIG. 15).

  If it is determined in step S213 that the value of N is 0 or less (NO), the process proceeds to step 218. If it is determined in step S213 that N is greater than 0 (YES), then the Nth special effect image data stored in the ROM 208 is read out, transmitted to the display drive circuit 220, and displayed. The Nth special effect is displayed on the device 70. Then, a control process for adding 1 to the value of N is performed. That is, when the special effect is started by receiving the BB winning signal from the main control circuit 100, 1 is input to the value of N (FIG. 15, step S203), and the first special game is displayed (step S214). Then, until the end condition is reached (see steps S216 and S217), the value of N is incremented by 1 each time the game is repeated (see step S215), and the special games after the second game are displayed.

  Here, an example of the special effect displayed on the display device 70 is shown in FIG. FIG. 21 is a diagram showing an example of special effects in association with each BB game. In the present embodiment, an effect that continues for up to 24 games is displayed. Specifically, in the first to fourth games, introduction effects A to D are displayed. Next, in the fifth to eighth games, fighting effects 1A to 1D are displayed. In the ninth game, connection effects are displayed. Is displayed. Furthermore, in the 10th to 13th games, the fighting effects 2A to 2D are displayed, in the 14th game, the connection effects are displayed, and in the 15th to 19th games, the fighting effects 3A to 3D are displayed. Furthermore, a reverse effect is displayed in the 20th game, a connection effect is displayed in the 21st game, victory effects A and B are displayed in the 21st to 22nd games, and an end effect (final effect) is displayed in the 24th game. Is displayed.

  As described above, the special effect is displayed for 24 games in the type 1 BB game, and the special effect is displayed in the set KAISU value (see FIG. 15, step S202) in the type 2 BBn game (n = 1 to 8). Only the corresponding number of games (specifically, 2, 3, 8, 9, 13, 17, 21, and 24 games respectively) are displayed. In the last round of special effects in each BBn game, the final effects are performed. In addition, when the type 1 BB game is performed over 24 games, an effect of the content continuing to the special effect is performed.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart of FIG. 16 again, following step S215, it is determined whether or not the value of N is greater than KAISU (step S216). If it is determined in this determination that the value of N is greater than KAISU (YES), that is, it is determined that the special effect has been performed up to the maximum number of games set for each BBn game, the process proceeds to step S218. If it is determined in step S216 that the value of N is less than or equal to KAISU (NO), the main control circuit 100 then sends a BB end signal (FIG. 10, step S109, FIG. 11, step S132, It is determined whether or not (see FIG. 12, step S148) has been received (step S217).

  If it is determined in this determination that the BB end signal has been received (YES), that is, if it is determined that the BB game has ended, the process proceeds to step S218. In step 218, 0 is input to the value of N for initialization (step S218), and this subroutine is terminated. If it is determined in step S217 that the BB end signal has not been received (NO), this subroutine is terminated.

  Returning to the determination in step S212, if it is determined that the BB operating signal has not been received (NO), that is, if it is determined that it is not a BB game, next, the general combination 2 flag on signal (FIG. 7, step S57) It is determined whether or not (see) has been received (step S219). If it is determined in this determination that the general combination 2 flag on signal has been received (YES), it is next determined whether or not the general combination 2 flag on signal has been received in the previous game (step S220).

  In this determination, if it is determined that the general game 2 flag on signal has been received in the previous game (YES), that is, if it is determined that the general game 2 is won in consecutive games, the control for adding 1 to the value of M Processing is performed (step S221), and the process proceeds to step S223. Here, M is a counter for controlling whether or not a special effect is performed in a game state that is not in the BB game and the number of games for displaying the special effect. In the initial state, 0 is set as a value. Yes. If it is determined in step S220 that the general combination 2 flag on signal has not been received in the previous game (NO), 1 is input to the value of M (step S222), and the process proceeds to step S223. .

  In step S223, the Mth special game image data is read from the ROM 208 and transmitted to the image driving circuit 220, and the Mth special effect is displayed on the display device 70 (step S223). That is, when it is determined that the general combination 2 is not won in consecutive games, the first special effect is always displayed. If it is determined that the general combination 2 has been won in consecutive games, the first, second,... Special effects are displayed as shown in the embodiment of FIG. Therefore, even if the game state is not a BB game, when the general role 2 is won in a continuous game, the special game continues over a plurality of games as in the BB game, and the contents of the production are also included in it. Since it progresses accordingly, the player can expect to increase his interest in the game by expanding his imagination as to whether or not he has entered the BB game.

  If it is determined in step S219 that the general combination 2 flag ON signal has not been received (NO), 0 is input to the M value to initialize it (step S224), and this subroutine is terminated.

(Other embodiments)
In the above-described embodiment, the special effect is set to be displayed when the general combination 2 is won in the combination lottery, but is not limited to the general combination 2, and any other combination including the general combination is displayed. Can be set. Also, the special effects are not limited to the above-described embodiments, and any effects can be used as long as the effects can be continued over a plurality of games.
