Description

  The present invention relates to a slot machine capable of generating a predetermined winning according to a display result of a variable display device capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information each identifiable.

  A slot machine generally includes a variable display device having a plurality of (usually three) reels on which a plurality of types of symbols as identification information are drawn on the outer periphery, and first, a bet number is determined by a player's BET operation. The reels start to rotate when the start operation is performed with the set number of bets set, and the rotation is stopped by operating a stop button provided corresponding to each reel. When all reels stop rotating, a winning combination occurs when a predetermined winning symbol combination (for example, 7-7-7, hereinafter referred to as a symbol combination) is arranged on the winning line. To do. That is, the game is advanced by the player's operation.

  These winning combinations include special roles with a transition to a special gaming state that is advantageous to the player, small roles with the addition of gaming values such as medals, and replays that can be played without using gaming values. There is a re-playing role accompanied by a game. These winning combinations are generally those that allow the winning combination to be awarded on the condition that a winning lottery performed simultaneously with the start operation is won.

  Also, in this type of slot machine, for example, a winning combination is won in a gaming state advantageous to the player, such as a replay time (a gaming state in which the winning probability of a re-gaming player is high), and a specific symbol combination is obtained. As a result, it has been proposed to end the advantageous gaming state and to avoid a specific symbol combination by notifying that the winning combination has been won (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  The main CPU 41a has an interrupt function (including an interrupt prohibition function) such as a timekeeping function and a timer interrupt, executes a program (described later) stored in the ROM 41b, and performs processing related to the progress of the game. Each part of the control circuit mounted on the game control board 40 is controlled directly or indirectly. The ROM 41b stores fixed data such as programs executed by the main CPU 41a and various tables. The RAM 41c is used as a work area when the main CPU 41a executes a program. The I / O port 41d inputs / outputs a control signal to / from each circuit connected via a signal input / output terminal included in the main control unit 41.

  Further, the main control unit 41 is supplied with backup power even during a power failure, and the data stored in the RAM 41c is held while the backup power is being supplied.

  The main CPU 41a repeatedly loops the process according to the control state until the detection state of the various switches connected to the game control board 40 is changed as a basic process, and step by step according to the change of the detection state of the various switches. Execute the process to move to. Further, the main CPU 41a has an interrupt function as described above, and can interrupt the basic process by the occurrence of the interrupt and execute the interrupt process. The voltage output from the power interruption detection circuit 48 The power interruption interrupt process (main) is executed in response to the input of the decrease signal, and the timer interrupt process (main) is executed at regular time intervals (about 0.56 ms in this embodiment). In addition, the execution interval of the timer interrupt process (main) is set to a time longer than the sum of the time required to complete the repeated process according to the control state in the basic process and the execution time of the timer interrupt process (main) Therefore, the process that is repeated according to the control state between the current and next timer interrupt processes (main) is completed at least once.

  The main CPU 41a transmits various commands to the effect control board 90 via the I / O port 41d. A command transmitted from the game control board 40 to the effect control board 90 is sent in only one direction, and no command is sent from the effect control board 90 to the game control board 40. The transmission line of the command transmitted from the game control board 40 to the effect control board 90 is composed of a strobe (INT) signal line, a data transmission line, and a ground line, and is connected via the effect relay board 80. The game control board 40 and the effect control board 90 are not directly connected.

  The effect control board 90 is connected to the light receiving devices 57a and 57b constituting the touch panel described above, and detection signals of the connected light receiving devices 57a and 57b are input to the touch panel controller 99.

  Electrical components such as a liquid crystal display 51 (see FIG. 1), a rendering effect LED 52, speakers 53 and 54, and the reel LED 55 described above are connected to the rendering control board 90, which is disposed on the front door 1b of the slot machine 1. These electric components are driven based on control by a sub-control unit 91 (described later) mounted on the effect control board 90. The effect control board 90 is connected to the light emitting devices 56a and 56b constituting the touch panel described above, and the light emitting devices 56a and 56b are based on control by a touch panel controller 99 described later mounted on the effect control board 90. To be driven.

  In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 mounted on the effect control board 90 controls the output of the effect devices such as the liquid crystal display 51, effect effect LED 52, speakers 53 and 54, and reel LED 55. However, in addition to the sub-control unit 91, an output control unit that directly controls the output of the effect device is mounted on the effect control board 90 or another board, and the sub-control unit 91 is based on a command from the main control unit 41. The output control unit may determine the output pattern of the effect device, and the output control unit may control the output of the effect device based on the output pattern determined by the sub control unit 91. In such a configuration, the sub control unit 91 and the output control may be performed. The output control of the rendering device is performed by both of the units.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the liquid crystal display 51, the effect effect LED 52, the speakers 53 and 54, and the reel LED 55 are exemplified as the effect device, but the effect device is not limited to these, for example, a mechanically driven display. A device or a mechanically driven item may be applied as the effect device.

Similar to the main control unit 41, the effect control board 90 includes a sub CPU 91a, ROM 91b, RAM 91c, and a microcomputer provided with an I / O port 91d. The sub control unit 91 controls the effect, and the effect control board 90. A display control circuit 92 that performs display control of the liquid crystal display 51 connected to the LED, an LED driving circuit 93 that performs drive control of the effect LED 52 and the reel LED 55, an audio output circuit 94 that controls audio output from the speakers 53 and 54, Supplied to a reset circuit 95 that gives a reset signal to the sub CPU 91a when the power is turned on or when an initialization command from the sub CPU 91a is not inputted for a certain period of time, a clock device 97 that outputs time information including date information and time information, and a slot machine 1 The power supply voltage is monitored, and when a voltage drop is detected, this is indicated Power interruption detecting circuit 98 which outputs a pressure drop signal to the sub-control section 91, based on a signal from the light receiving device 5 7a, 57 b, identifies the touched position with respect to the display surface of the liquid crystal display device 51 processes The sub-CPU 91a receives commands sent from the game control board 40 and output information from the touch panel controller 99, and performs various effects to produce effects. While controlling, each part of the control circuit mounted in the production control board 90 is controlled directly or indirectly.

  Similar to the main CPU 41a, the sub CPU 91a has an interrupt function (including an interrupt prohibition function). One of the interrupt terminals of the sub control unit 91 is connected to a strobe (INT) signal line that is output when the main control unit 41 transmits a command, among the command transmission lines, and the sub CPU 91a receives the strobe signal. An interrupt is generated based on the input to acquire a command from the main control unit 41 and execute a command reception interrupt process to be stored in the buffer. Further, the sub CPU 91a executes an interrupt process (sub) to be described later by generating an interrupt every time the number of clock inputs reaches a certain number, that is, every certain interval. One of the interrupt terminals of the sub-control unit 91 is connected to the power interruption detection circuit 98, and the sub CPU 91a responds to the input of the voltage drop signal output from the power interruption detection circuit 98. Execute processing (sub). Further, when an unused interrupt occurs in the sub CPU 91a, an unused interrupt process for immediately returning to the original process is executed.

  The sub-control unit 91 is also supplied with backup power at the time of a power failure, and the data stored in the RAM 91c is held while the backup power is supplied.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the medal payout rate changes according to the set value. Specifically, the medal payout rate is changed by using a winning probability corresponding to a set value in an internal lottery described later. The set value is composed of 6 levels of 1 to 6, with 6 being the highest payout rate and the payout rate being lower as the value is decreased in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. That is, when 6 is set as the set value, the advantage is highest for the player, and as the value decreases in order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the advantage decreases stepwise.

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

  In order to confirm the set value, after the game is over, the setting key switch 37 may be turned on with no bet amount set. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on in such a situation, the setting value read out from the RAM 41c is displayed on the setting value display 24, thereby shifting to a setting confirmation state in which the setting value can be confirmed. In the setting confirmation state, the game cannot be progressed, and by turning the setting key switch 37 to the OFF state, the setting confirmation state is ended and the state in which the game can proceed is returned.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the main CPU 41a detects a voltage drop signal from the power interruption detection circuit 48, a power interruption interrupt process (main) is executed. In the power interruption interrupt processing (main), the register is saved in a stack of a RAM 41c, which will be described later, and data for destructive diagnosis (in this embodiment, 5AH) in which any bit is 1 in the RAM 41c, that is, a specific value other than 0 In addition to storing data, the RAM parity adjustment data is calculated so that the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 41c is 0, and the RAM 41c is stored. The RAM parity is a value calculated as an exclusive OR of values stored in each bit of the corresponding area (all areas in this embodiment) of the RAM 41c. Therefore, if the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 41c is 0, the RAM parity adjustment data is 0, and the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 41c is 1. In this case, the RAM parity adjustment data is 1.

  The main CPU 41a calculates the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 41c at the time of activation, confirms the value of the destructive diagnosis data, the RAM parity is 0, and the destructive diagnosis The processing state of the main CPU 41a is restored to the state before the power interruption based on the data stored in the RAM 41c on the condition that the value of the data for use is correct, but the RAM parity is not 0 (in the case of 1) or is destroyed. If the value of the diagnostic data is not correct, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal, and the RAM abnormal error code is set in the register to control the RAM abnormal error state so that the progress of the game is disabled. Unlike the other error states, the RAM abnormal error state is not canceled even if the reset switch 23 or the reset / setting switch 38 is operated, and a new set value is set in the setting change state described above. It will not be released until

  In this embodiment, all the data stored in the RAM 41c is held by the backup power source even in the event of a power failure, and when the main CPU 41a determines that the data in the RAM 41c is normal when the power is turned on. Although the configuration is such that the control state before power interruption is restored based on the data stored in the RAM 41c, only the data necessary for the restoration of the control state in the event of a power failure is backed up among the data stored in the RAM 41c. It may be configured to return to the control state before power interruption based on the backed up data.

  In addition, when returning to the control state before the power interruption when the power is turned on, it is not necessary to return all the control states to the control state before the power interruption, and the minimum control state that does not disadvantage the player For example, it is not necessary to restore the state of all input ports to the state before power interruption.

  In addition, when the sub CPU 91a detects the voltage drop signal from the power interruption detection circuit 98, the sub CPU 91a also executes a power interruption interrupt process (sub). In the power interruption interrupt processing (sub), the register is saved in a stack of a RAM 91c described later, and destructive diagnosis data in which any bit is 1 is stored in the RAM 91c, and data stored in all areas of the RAM 91c. The RAM parity adjustment data is calculated so that the RAM parity based on 0 becomes 0 and stored in the RAM 91c.

Then, the sub CPU 91a calculates the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 91c at the time of activation, and based on the data stored in the RAM 91c on the condition that the RAM parity is 0. The processing state of the sub CPU 91a is restored to the state before the power interruption. If the RAM parity is not 0 (1), it is determined that the RAM is abnormal and the RAM 91c is initialized. In this case, unlike the main C PU 4 1a, RAM 91c will not be only disabled execution of the effect in the initialization.

  In this embodiment, all data stored in the RAM 91c is held by the backup power source even during a power failure, and the sub CPU 91a determines that the data in the RAM 91c is normal when the power is turned on. Although the configuration is such that the control state before power interruption is restored based on the data stored in the RAM 91c, only the data necessary for restoration of the control state is backed up in the event of a power failure out of the data stored in the RAM 91c. It may be configured to return to the control state before power interruption based on the backed up data.

  In addition, when returning to the control state before the power interruption when the power is turned on, it is not necessary to return all the control states to the control state before the power interruption, and the minimum control state that does not disadvantage the player It is not necessary to restore the state of the input port or the progress in the middle of the production when it is interrupted. For example, while backing up only data indicating the gaming state such as whether it is in the BB or the normal gaming state, other than the effect corresponding to the gaming state (the effect during the BB during the BB, the normal effect when in the normal gaming state) If a power outage occurs during the execution of a specific production (such as a small role announcement), it will be backed up when the power is turned on instead of resuming the specific production that was being performed at the next power-on. An effect corresponding to the gaming state being played may be executed from the beginning.

  Next, initialization of the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 will be described. The storage area of the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 is divided into an important work, a general work, a special work, a set value work, a non-saved work, an unused area, and a stack area.

  The important work is a work in which data that is inconvenient to be initialized at the end of the BB, such as various display devices and LED display data, input / output data of the I / O port 41d, and a game time clock counter, is stored. The general work is a work that stores data that can be initialized at the end of the BB, such as a stop control table, a stop symbol, the number of medals paid out, and the total number of medals paid out in the BB. The special work stores data that is not initialized even before the setting is changed, such as data for transmitting a command to the effect control board 90 and various software random numbers (a random number for determination value addition described later, a random number for changing an initial value). Work. The set value work is a work that stores a set value used when a lottery is performed in the internal lottery process. The unsaved work is a work that holds the state of various switches, and a value is always set regardless of whether or not the data in the RAM 41c is destroyed at the time of activation. The unused area is an unused area in the storage area of the RAM 41c, and is initialized if any one of a plurality of initialization conditions described later is satisfied. The stack area is an area in which data saved from the register of the main CPU 41a is stored, and the unused stack area is established by any one of a plurality of initialization conditions to be described later, like the unused area. In this case, the used stack area is not initialized because the program continues.

  In this embodiment, the main CPU 41a destroys the data in the RAM 41c when a RAM error occurs, when the setting key switch 37 is activated with the setting key switch 37 turned on, when the BB is completed, and when the setting key switch 37 is activated with the setting key switch 37 turned off. Otherwise, when the five initialization conditions at the end of one game are satisfied, five types of initializations with different areas initialized according to each initialization condition are performed.

  Initialization 0 is initialization that is performed when a RAM abnormality error occurs. In initialization 0, all the areas (including the unused area and the unused stack area) of the storage area of the RAM 41c except the used stack area are stored. It is initialized. Initialization 1 is an initialization that is performed before the setting key switch 37 is turned on at the time of startup and shifts to the setting change state. In the initialization 1, a special area in the storage area of the RAM 41c is selected. Areas other than the work, the unsaved work, and the used stack area (including the unused area and the unused stack area) are initialized. Initialization 2 is initialization performed at the end of the BB. In initialization 2, the general work, the unused area, and the unused stack area are initialized in the storage area of the RAM 41c. Initialization 3 is initialization that is performed when the setting key switch 37 is in an OFF state at the time of startup and the data in the RAM 41c is not destroyed. The used stack area is initialized. Initialization 4 is initialization performed at the end of one game. In initialization 4, an unused area and an unused stack area in the storage area of the RAM 41c are initialized.

  In this embodiment, initialization 1 is performed before the change of the setting change state. However, the initialization 1 is performed at the end of the setting change state, or both before the change of the setting change state and at the end of the setting change state. Also good. In this case, if the set value work is initialized, the determined set value is lost. Therefore, the initialization of the set value work is not performed in the initialization at the end of the setting change state.

  In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, as described above, the specified number of bets that can be set according to the gaming state is determined, and the specified number of bets determined according to the gaming state is set. It becomes possible to start the game on the condition. In the present embodiment, as will be described later, there are regular bonuses (hereinafter referred to as RB) (big bonus (hereinafter referred to as BB)), RT (0) to (4), and among these, RB ( In BB), 1 is defined as the specified number of bets, and in RT (0) to (4), 3 is defined as the specified number of bets. For this reason, if the gaming state is RB (BB), the game can be started when 1 is set as the bet number, and 3 is set as the bet number if RT (0) to (4). Then, the game can be started. In this embodiment, the winning line L is activated when a specified number of bets corresponding to the gaming state is set, and 1 is set as the bet number in RB (BB). The winning line L is activated at the time point, and the winning line L is activated when 3 is set as the betting number in RT (0) to (4).

  The slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment plays a role on an activated pay line (hereinafter, the activated pay line is simply referred to as a pay line) when all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped. A winning combination will be awarded when all the combinations of symbols are called. The combination may be a combination of the same symbols or a combination including different symbols. The type of winning combination is determined according to the game state, but it can be roughly divided into a small role with payout of medals and a replay that can start the next game without the need to set the number of bets. There are a game combination and a special combination with a transition of the game state. Below, a small role and a re-playing role are collectively called a general role. In order for winning of each combination determined according to the gaming state to occur, it is necessary to win an internal lottery to be described later and set a winning flag of the combination in the RAM 41c.

  Of the winning flags for each of these combinations, the winning flag for the small role and the re-playing role is valid only in the game in which the flag is set, and is invalid in the next game. It is valid until a combination of combinations permitted by the flag is completed, and is invalid in a game having a combination of combinations permitted. In other words, once the special combination winning flag is won, even if the combination of the combinations permitted by the flag cannot be made, the winning flag is not invalidated and is carried over to the next game. It becomes.

  As the role in this slot machine 1, as shown in FIG. 5, as a special role, big bonuses (1) to (4) (hereinafter, big bonus (1) is BB (1) and big bonus (2) is BB ( 2), Big Bonus (3) is BB (3) and Big Bonus (4) is BB (4)). Small roles (1) to (13) are replayed as replaying roles (1). ) To (4) are defined.

  The small role (1) wins when the combination of “black 7-white 7-white 7” is aligned on the winning line in any gaming state, and the small role (2) wins in any gaming state. When the combination of “net 7-white 7-white 7” is completed on the line, the winning combination is given, and the small role (3) has a combination of “watermelon-white 7-white 7” on the winning line in any gaming state. The winning combination is awarded when the game is completed, and the small role (4) is awarded when the combination of “cherry-white 7-white 7” is arranged on the winning line in any gaming state. In the gaming state, the winning combination is made when the combination of “white 7-black 7-white 7” is arranged on the winning line, and the small role (6) is placed in the winning line in any gaming state “white 7-net 7”. -When the combination of “White 7” is complete, a prize is awarded, and the small role (7) Even in the state, when the combination of “white 7-watermelon-white 7” is arranged in the winning line, the winning combination is made, and the small role (8) becomes “white 7-cherry-white 7” in the winning line in any gaming state. The winning combination is obtained when the combination of “white 7-white 7-black 7” is aligned on the winning line in any gaming state, and the winning combination (10) ) Is awarded when the combination of “white 7-white 7-net 7” is aligned on the winning line in any gaming state, and the small role (11) is “white” on the winning line in any gaming state. The winning combination will be awarded when the combination of “7-White 7-Watermelon” is complete, and the small role (12) will be awarded when the combination of “White 7-White 7-Cherry” is available on the winning line in any gaming state. The small role (13) is in any gaming state. Also the winning line and becomes a winning when the uniform is the combination of the "bell - - bell bell". When any of the small roles (1) to (13) wins, eight medals are paid out.

  Replay (1) is awarded when the combination of “bell-bell-white 7” is aligned on the winning line in RT (0) to (4), and replay (2) is awarded to RT (0) to (4). When a combination of “Replay-Replay-Replay” is arranged on the winning line in FIG. 8, the Replay (3) is a combination of “White 7-White 7-Replay” on the winning line in RT (0) to (4). When a combination of “Replay-White 7-White 7” is aligned on the winning line in RT (0) to (4), Replay (4) is awarded. When any one of the replays (1) to (4) wins, the medal is not paid out, but the next game can be started without setting the bet number again. This is substantially the same as when three corresponding medals are paid out.

  BB (1) is awarded when the combination of “Black 7-Black 7-Black 7” is aligned on the winning line in RT (0) to (3), and BB (2) is awarded to RT (0) to ( In 3), a winning combination is made when a combination of “net 7-net 7-net 7” is arranged on the winning line, and BB (3) is added to “white 7” on the winning line in RT (0) to (2) (4). -WHITE 7-WHITE 7 "combination is awarded and BB (4) is awarded when" BELL-BELL-REPLAY "combination is available on the winning line at RT (0) to (2). It becomes.

  When any of BB (1) to (4) wins, the gaming state shifts to BB and simultaneously shifts to RB. The RB is a gaming state that is advantageous to the player over other gaming states by increasing the winning probability of the small role, particularly the small role (13), and when the RB has started, when 8 games are consumed, or When 4 games are won (any kind of combination is acceptable), the game ends, whichever comes first. When the RB is finished, if the BB is not finished, the process proceeds to the RB again, and the RB is repeatedly controlled until the BB is finished. That is, during BB, it is always controlled to RB. The BB triggered by the winning of BB (1) (2) ends when the total number of medals paid out to the player in the BB exceeds 77, and the winning of BB (3) is triggered. The BB is terminated when the total number of medals paid out to the player during the BB exceeds 60, and the BB triggered by the winning of the BB (4) is a medal paid out to the player during the BB. When the total number of images exceeds 30, the process ends. At the end of the BB, the RB is also ended regardless of whether or not the RB end condition is satisfied.

  Hereinafter, the internal lottery of the present embodiment will be described. In the internal lottery, it is determined whether or not the above winning combination is permitted before the display results of all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are derived and displayed (actually, when the start switch 7 is detected). To do. In the internal lottery, first, a random number for internal lottery (an integer from 0 to 65535) is acquired. Then, for each combination determined according to the gaming state and whether or not the special combination is carried over, the acquired random number for internal lottery and the number of judgment values for each combination determined according to the gaming state, the number of bets and the set value Is done according to.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, whether the gaming state is RT (0) (1) (not carrying over special roles) or RT (2) (not carrying over special roles) , RT (3) (4) (during special role carryover) or RB (BB), the combination that is the subject of the internal lottery differs.

  If the gaming state is RT (0) (1), BB (1), BB (1) + replay (1), BB (1) + small role (13), BB (2), BB (2) + Replay (1), BB (2) + small role (13), BB (3), BB (3) + replay (1), BB (4), replay (1), replay (2), replay GR (1 ) (Replay (2) + replay (3)), replay GR (2) (replay (2) + replay (4)), small part GR (1) (small part (1) + small part (13)), Small role GR (2) (small role (2) + small role (13)), small role GR (3) (small role (3) + small role (13)), small role GR (4) (small role ( 4) + small role (13)), small role GR (5) (small role (5) + small role (13)), small role GR (6) (small role (6) + small role (13)), Small part GR (7) (small part (7) + small part (13)) Small role GR (8) (small role (8) + small role (13)), small role GR (9) (small role (9) + small role (13)), small role GR (10) (small role ( 10) + small role (13)), small role GR (11) (small role (11) + small role (13)), small role GR (12) (small role (12) + small role (13)), The small combination (13) is sequentially read out as the target combination of the internal lottery.

  If the gaming state is RT (2), BB (1), BB (1) + replay (1), BB (1) + small role (13), BB (2), BB (2) + replay (1 ), BB (2) + small role (13), BB (3), BB (3) + replay (1), BB (4), replay (1), replay (2), small role GR (1)- (12) The small combination (13) is sequentially read out as a target combination for internal lottery.

  If the gaming state is RT (3) (4), replay (1), replay (2), replay GR (1) (2), small roles GR (1) to (12), and small roles (13) It is sequentially read as a target combination of internal lottery.

  If the gaming state is RB (BB), the small combination GR (1) to (12) and the small combination (13) are sequentially read out as the target combination of the internal lottery.

  In the internal lottery, the number of determination values determined corresponding to the role to be subject to the internal lottery, the current gaming state and the set value are sequentially added to the random number for the internal lottery, and when the result of addition overflows, It is determined that the winning combination has been won. For this reason, a winning combination will be won with a probability (number of determination values / 65536) according to the number of determination values.

  If a winning combination of any combination is determined, a winning flag corresponding to the combination determined to be winning is set in the internal winning flag storing work assigned to the RAM 41c. The internal winning flag storage work consists of a 2-byte storage area, of which the upper byte is assigned as the special role storing work in which the winning flag for the special role is set, and the lower byte is the winning of the general role It is assigned as a general role storage work for which a flag is set. Specifically, when a special combination is won, a special combination winning flag indicating that the special combination is won is set in the special combination storing work, and the winning flag set in the general combination storing work is cleared. When a general combination is won, a winning flag for the general combination indicating that the general combination is won is set in the general combination storing work. If no winning combination is selected, only the general winning combination work is cleared.

  Next, stop control of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R will be described.

  The main CPU 41a refers to the table index and the table creation data stored in the ROM 41b when the rotation of the reel starts and when the reel stops and the reel that is still rotating still remains. Create a stop control table for each reel. When any of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel is effectively detected, the stop control table of the corresponding reel is referred to and the slip of the referred stop control table is referred to. Based on the number of frames, control is performed to stop the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R corresponding to the operated stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R.

  In the table index, an index that indicates the start address of the area in which the data for table creation is stored, from the reference address when referring to the table index, according to the setting state of the winning flag by internal lottery (hereinafter referred to as the internal winning state) Differences up to the address where the data is stored are registered. As a result, a difference corresponding to the internal winning state is acquired, and the corresponding index data can be acquired by adding the difference to the reference address. Even when the winning combinations are different, when the same control is applied, the same address is stored as the index data. In such a case, the same table creation data is referred to. Thus, a stop control table is created.

  The table creation data includes a stop control table indicating the number of sliding frames according to the stop operation position, and an address of the stop control table to be referred to according to the reel stop status.

  The stop control table referred to according to the reel stop status is whether all reels are rotating, only the left reel is stopped, only the middle reel is stopped, only the right reel is stopped, It may vary depending on whether the middle reel is stopped, the left and right reels are stopped, the middle and right reels are stopped, and if any reel is stopped, stop Since there may be differences depending on the stop position of the reels already completed, the address of the stop control table to be referenced for each situation is registered for each rotating reel, and based on the top address of the table creation data, It is possible to specify the address of the stop control table that should be referred to according to the status of each, and it is necessary according to each status from this specified address. And to be able to identify the stop control table. Even when the reel stop status and the stopped position of the stopped reel are different, when the same stop control table is applied, the same address may be registered as the address of the stop control table. In such a case, the same stop control table is referred to.

  The stop control table is data that can specify the number of sliding frames for each timing when the stop operation is performed. In this embodiment, stepping motors that make one turn at a cycle of 168 steps (0 to 167) are used for the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R. That is, when the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R are driven for 168 steps, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R make one round. 21 areas (frames) divided every 8 steps (the number of steps in which one symbol moves) per reel are defined, and these areas are areas 0 to 20 from the reel reference position. A number is assigned. On the other hand, the number of symbols arranged on one reel is 21, and symbol numbers 0 to 20 from the reel reference position are assigned to symbols on each reel, so symbols 0 to 20 are assigned to each reel. , Area numbers 0 to 20 are assigned in order. In the stop control table, the number of sliding symbols for each area number is compressed and stored according to a predetermined rule, and the number of sliding symbols for each area number can be acquired by expanding the stop control table. Yes.

  As described above, the stop control table created by referring to the table index and the table creation data corresponds to the area number, and the area corresponding to each area number is the stop reference position (in this embodiment, the perspective window 3). Sliding frame when an operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is detected at a timing (a timing in which the number of steps from the reel reference position is included in the range of the number of steps of each region number). It is a table with each number set.

  Next, the procedure for creating the stop control table will be described. First, at the start of reel rotation, the top address of the table creation data corresponding to the internal winning state of the game is acquired. Specifically, the table index is first referred to, index data corresponding to the internal winning state is obtained, table creation data is identified based on the obtained index data, and all reels are identified from the identified table creation data. The address of the stop control table for each reel corresponding to the state of rotation is acquired, and the stop control table for each reel stored at the acquired address is expanded to generate a stop control table for all reels.

  Further, when any one reel stops or any two reels stop, the index data acquired at the start of reel rotation, that is, the top address of the table creation data corresponding to the internal winning state of the game The table creation data is identified based on the table creation data, and the stop control table address of the unreacted reel corresponding to the stopped reel and the area number of the stop position of the reel is obtained from the identified table creation data. The stop control table for each stored reel is expanded to create a stop control table for the unstopped reels.

  Next, when the main CPU 41a effectively detects any one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel, the control when the display result is derived to the corresponding reel will be described. When one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel is effectively detected, the stop operation position area is determined based on the number of steps from the reel reference position when the stop operation is detected. The number is specified, the stop control table of the reel where the stop operation is detected is referred, and the number of sliding symbols corresponding to the area number of the specified stop operation position is acquired. Then, control is performed to rotate and stop the reel by the number of acquired sliding frames. Specifically, from the number of steps from the reel reference position at the time when the stop operation is detected, the number of steps from the acquired number of sliding frames to the stop is calculated, and the reel is rotated and stopped by the calculated number of steps. Take control. As a result, the area corresponding to the area number that is the stop position ahead of the number of sliding frames from the area corresponding to the area number of the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected is the stop reference position (in this embodiment, the perspective window 3 It will stop in the lower symbol area).

  In the table index of this embodiment, only one address is stored as index data corresponding to one internal winning state in one gaming state, and further, one table creation data includes one reel. Only one address is stored as the address of the storage area of the stop control table corresponding to the stop status (and the stop position of the stopped reel). In other words, table creation data corresponding to one internal winning state in one gaming state and stop control tables corresponding to reel stop states (and stopped positions of stopped reels) are uniquely determined. The stop control table created with reference to is unique for one internal winning state in one gaming state and the reel stop status (and the stop position of the stopped reel). Therefore, when all of the gaming state, the internal winning state, and the reel stop status (and the stop position of the stopped reel) are the same, the reel is based on the same stop control table, that is, the same control pattern. The stop control is performed.

  Further, in this embodiment, a value of 0 to 4 is determined as the number of sliding frames, and the reel can be stopped by drawing a maximum of 4 symbols after detecting the stop operation. In other words, the stop position of the symbol can be designated from a range of a maximum of 5 frames including the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected. In addition, since it is necessary to move one frame to move the reel for one symbol, it is possible to stop the reel by pulling in a maximum of four symbols after detecting the stop operation. The symbol stop position can be designated from a range of up to five symbols including the operation position.

  In this embodiment, when any of the winning combinations is won, the winning combination is drawn to the maximum in the range of 4 frames on the winning line, and the non-winning winning combination is drawn so that it is not aligned on the winning line. A stop control table with a defined number of frames is created and reel stop control is performed. If no winning combination is selected, a stop control table with a determined number of sliding symbols that do not have any combination And stop control of the reel. As a result, when a stop operation is performed, if the winning combination can be stopped on the winning line in the drawing range of up to 4 frames, the control is performed so that the winning combination is stopped. The combination that has not been performed will be controlled to be stopped in a drawing range of a maximum of 4 frames.

  If the special role is elected while the special role has been carried over from before the previous game, or if the special role and the small role are elected at the same time when the special role is not carried over, the special role and the small role are won simultaneously. The number of sliding symbols is set so that the winning small role is drawn to the winning line within the range of 4 frames, and the winning small role is drawn to the winning line within the range of up to 4 frames. For stop operation positions that cannot be inserted, a stop control table in which the number of sliding symbols is determined so as to draw the selected special combination to the winning line in the range of 4 frames to the maximum is created, and reel stop control is performed. As a result, when a stop operation is performed, if it is possible to stop all the small roles that have been selected in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the winning line and stop them, control is performed so that the winning combination is stopped. If you can't draw a small role that has been won in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the line, if you can stop with a special role that has been won in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the winning line, A control is performed to stop them in a uniform manner, and a winning combination that has not been won will be controlled to be stopped within a 4-frame pull-in range. That is, in such a case, priority is given to the control for aligning the small combination on the winning line over the special combination, and the special combination can be won only when the small combination cannot be drawn.

  In this embodiment, when a special role and a small role are simultaneously elected, the control for aligning the small role on the winning line is prioritized over the special role, and the special role is given only when the small role cannot be drawn. However, priority is given to the control of aligning the special role on the winning line over the small role, and it is possible to win the small role only when the special role cannot be drawn. It is good also as a structure.

  The special role and re-playing role are selected when the re-playing role is elected while the special role has been carried over from before the previous game, or when the special role and re-playing role are won at the same time without the special role being carried over. In the case of winning at the same time, when a stop operation is performed, control is performed so that the symbols of the re-gamer are aligned and stopped on the winning line within a drawing range of a maximum of 4 frames. In this case, the symbols constituting the re-playing combination are arranged within 5 symbols for each of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, that is, with an interval of 4 frames or less. Therefore, if a special combination and a replaying player are elected at the same time, the replaying game will always be awarded regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C and 8R by the player. Will be. That is, in such a case, the control for aligning the re-games on the winning line has priority over the special game, and the re-games will always win.

  When a plurality of types of re-game players are simultaneously won (replay GR (1) (2)), as shown in FIG. 7, one of the re-game players who are won according to the first stop reel Is controlled to stop on the winning line.

  When replay GR (1) (replay (2) + replay (3)) is won, control is performed to stop replay (3) on the winning line when the left reel is set to the first stop. However, when the middle reel or the right reel is set to the first stop, the replay (2) is controlled to stop on the winning line.

  On the other hand, when replay GR (2) (replay (2) + replay (4)) is won, control is performed to stop replay (2) on the winning line when the left reel is set to the first stop. When the middle reel or the right reel is set to the first stop, the replay (3) is controlled to stop on the winning line.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the first stop reel and the replay in which the replay (2) is stopped on the winning line when the replay GR (1) is won and when the replay GR (2) is won. The first stop reel that (3) or replay (4) will stop on the winning line is different. For this reason, if Replay GR (1) or Replay GR (2) is elected and if it is not known which is won, Replay (2) wins at a rate of 1/2, Replay (3) or Replay (4) will win in proportion.

  When multiple types of small combinations are simultaneously won (small combinations GR (1) to (12)), as shown in FIG. 7, combinations of different symbols depending on the first stop reel are stopped on the winning line. To control.

  If the small combination GR (1) (small combination (1) + small combination (13)) is elected, the small combination (13) is stopped on the winning line when the left reel is set to the first stop. When the middle reel or the right reel is set to the first stop, and then the left reel is stopped within the “black 7” pull-in range (timing 14-19). Is controlled to stop the small role (1) on the winning line, and if the left reel stop operation is performed outside the pull-in range of “black 7”, “bell-white 7-white 7” The combination is stopped on the winning line.

  If the small role GR (2) (small role (2) + small role (13)) is elected, the small role (13) is stopped on the winning line when the left reel is set to the first stop. When the middle reel or the right reel is set to the first stop, and then the stop operation of the left reel is performed within the “net 7” pull-in range (timing 4 to 8). Is controlled to stop the small role (2) on the winning line, and if the left reel stop operation is performed outside the pull-in range of “net 7”, “bell-white 7-white 7” The combination is stopped on the winning line.

  If the small role GR (3) (small role (3) + small role (13)) is elected, the small role (13) is stopped on the winning line when the left reel is set to the first stop. When the middle reel or the right reel is set to the first stop, and then the left reel stop operation is performed within the “watermelon” pull-in range (timing 9 to 13). If the control to stop the small role (3) on the winning line is performed and the stop operation of the left reel is performed outside the pull-in range of “watermelon”, the combination of “bell-white 7-white 7” Is controlled on the winning line.

  If the small role GR (4) (small role (4) + small role (13)) is elected, the small role (13) is stopped on the winning line when the left reel is set to the first stop. When the middle reel or the right reel is set to the first stop, and then the left reel stop operation is performed within the “cherry” pull-in range (20, 0 to 3 timing) Is controlled to stop the small role (4) on the winning line, and if the operation of stopping the left reel is performed outside the “cherry” pull-in range, “bell-white 7-white 7”. The combination is stopped on the winning line.

  If the small role GR (5) (small role (5) + small role (13)) is elected, the small role (13) is stopped on the winning line when the middle reel is first stopped. When the left reel or the right reel is set to the first stop, and then the stop operation of the middle reel is performed within the “black 7” pull-in range (timing 9 to 13). Is controlled such that the small role (5) is stopped on the winning line, and if the stop operation of the middle reel is performed outside the pull-in range of “black 7”, “white 7-bell-white 7” The combination is stopped on the winning line.

  If the small role GR (6) (small role (6) + small role (13)) is elected, the small role (13) is stopped on the winning line when the middle reel is first stopped. In the case where the left reel or the right reel is set to the first stop, the middle reel stop operation was performed within the “net 7” drawing range (20, 0 to 3 timing). In this case, the control for stopping the small role (6) on the winning line is performed, and when the stop operation of the middle reel is performed outside the drawing range of “net 7”, “white 7-bell-white” Control for stopping the combination of “7” on the winning line is performed.

  If the small role GR (7) (small role (7) + small role (13)) is elected, the small role (13) is stopped on the winning line when the middle reel is set to the first stop. When the left reel or the right reel is set to the first stop, and then the operation of stopping the middle reel is performed within the “watermelon” pull-in range (timing from No. 14 to No. 19). Is controlled to stop the small role (7) on the winning line, and if the stop operation of the middle reel is performed outside the range of "watermelon", "white 7-bell-white 7" Control is performed to stop the combination on the winning line.

  If the small role GR (8) (small role (8) + small role (13)) is elected, the small role (13) is stopped on the winning line when the middle reel is first stopped. When the left reel or the right reel is set to the first stop, and then the operation of stopping the middle reel is performed within the “cherry” pull-in range (timing 4 to 8). When the control for stopping the small role (8) on the winning line is performed and the stop operation of the middle reel is performed outside the “cherry” pull-in range, the combination of “white 7-bell-white 7” Is controlled on the winning line.

  If the small role GR (9) (small role (9) + small role (13)) is elected, the small role (13) is stopped on the winning line when the right reel is set to the first stop. When the left reel or the middle reel is set to the first stop, and then the right reel stop operation is performed within the “black 7” pull-in range (timing 3 to 8). Is controlled to stop the small role (9) on the winning line, and when the right reel stop operation is performed outside the pull-in range of “black 7”, “white 7-white 7-bell” The combination is stopped on the winning line.

  If the small role GR (10) (small role (10) + small role (13)) is elected, the small role (13) is stopped on the winning line when the right reel is the first stop. When the left reel or the middle reel is set to the first stop, and then the right reel stop operation is performed within the “net 7” pull-in range (timing 14 to 18). Is controlled to stop the small role (10) on the winning line, and if the right reel stop operation is performed outside the pull-in range of “net 7”, “white 7-white 7-bell” The combination is stopped on the winning line.

  If the small role GR (11) (small role (11) + small role (13)) is elected, the small role (13) is stopped on the winning line when the right reel is set to the first stop. When the left reel or the middle reel is set to the first stop, and then the right reel stop operation is performed within the “watermelon” pull-in range (timing 9 to 13). When the control for stopping the small role (11) on the winning line is performed and the stop operation of the right reel is performed outside the “watermelon” pull-in range, the combination of “white 7-white 7-bell” Is controlled on the winning line.

  If the small role GR (12) (small role (12) + small role (13)) is elected, the small role (13) is stopped on the winning line when the right reel is first stopped. If the left reel or middle reel is set to the first stop, then the right reel stop operation is performed within the “cherry” pull-in range (the timings of 19, 20, 0 to 2). In such a case, control for stopping the small role (12) on the winning line is performed, and when the right reel stop operation is performed outside the “cherry” pull-in range, “white 7-white 7- Control is performed to stop the combination of “bells” on the winning line.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when the small roles GR (1) to (4) are won, the small reel (13) can always be won by making the left reel the first stop. When the reels other than the left reel are in the first stop, “Black 7” is selected when the small role GR (1) is won, “Net 7” is selected when the small role GR (2) is selected, and the small role GR (3) The winning small roles (1) to (4) are performed by stopping the left reel at the timing of the “Watermelon” at the time of winning and “Cherry” at the time of winning the small role GR (4). You can win, but if you stop the left reel at any other time, none of the small roles will win.

  Further, when the small roles GR (5) to (8) are elected, it is possible to always win the small role (13) by setting the middle reel to the first stop. Is the first stop, “Black 7” when winning the small role GR (5), “Net 7” when winning the small role GR (6), “Watermelon” when winning the small role GR (7) When winning the small role GR (8), it is possible to win the selected small roles (5) to (8) by stopping the middle reel at the timing of the “cherry” pull-in range. If the stop operation of the middle reel is performed at other timings, none of the small roles will be won.

  Further, when the small roles GR (9) to (12) are won, the right reel is set to the first stop, so that the small role (13) can be always won, and reels other than the right reel are selected. Is the first stop, “Black 7” when winning the small role GR (9), “Net 7” when winning the small role GR (10), “Watermelon” when winning the small role GR (11) When winning the small role GR (12), it is possible to win the selected small roles (9) to (12) by performing the right reel stop operation at the timing of the “cherry” pull-in range. If the stop operation of the right reel is performed at other timings, none of the small roles will be won.

As shown in FIG. 3, “Black 7”, “Net 7”, “Watermelon”, and “Cherry” are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or more on all reels, and cannot be intentionally stopped on the winning line L. Therefore, when the small roles GR (1) to (4) are elected and the left reel is the first stop, the small roles GR (5) to (8) are elected and the middle reel is the first stop, When the small roles GR (9) to (12) are elected and the right reel is set to the first stop, 21/21 (stop operation position where “bell” can be drawn / total number of stop operation positions) Since 15 (13) wins in proportion, the expected payout value (8 × 21/21) in this case is 8. On the other hand, when the small roles GR (1) to (4) are elected and the reels other than the left reel are first stopped, the small roles GR (5) to (8) are elected and the reels other than the middle reel are selected. In the case of one stop, the small roles GR (9) to (12) are elected, and in the case where the reels other than the right reel are set to the first stop, 5/21 (small roles GR (1) (7) (9 ), The small roles (1) to (12) can be won at a ratio of 6/21), but in the case of 16/21 (small roles GR (1) (7) (9), 15/21 ) Cannot be awarded in any proportion, so the expected payout value in this case (8 × 5/21 (8 × 6/21 in the case of small roles GR (1) (7) (9)) ) Is about 1.90 (about 2.29 in the case of small roles GR (1), (7), and (9)).

  Therefore, when the small roles GR (1) to (4) are won, the left reel is set to the first stop, and when the small roles GR (5) to (8) are won, the middle reel If the small roles GR (9) to (12) are elected when the first stop is selected, the right reel is set to the first stop and the other reels are set to the first stop, respectively. The payout expectation value is high, and more medals can be obtained. That is, depending on whether the small role GR (1) to (4) has been won, the small role GR (5) to (8) has been won, or the small role GR (9) to (12) has been won The first stop reel with a high expected value is different.

  Even if any of the small roles GR (1) to (12) is won, if the type is not known, the first stop reel with a high expected payout value cannot be selected intentionally, and 1/3 The first stop reel with a high expected payout value is selected at a rate of 1 and the first stop reel with a low expected payout value is selected at a rate of 2/3. Therefore, any one of the small roles GR (1) to (12) Expected payout when winning ((8 × 21/21) × 1/3 + (8 × 5/21) × 2/3) (in the case of small role GR (1) (7) (9) (( 8 × 21/21) × 1/3 + (8 × 6/21) × 2/3)) is about 3.94 (in the case of the small role GR (1) (7) (9), about 4.19). Sheet).

  In this embodiment, after the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is started, the main CPU 41a continues to rotate the reels for which the stop operation has not been detected until the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected. On the condition that the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is detected, control is performed to stop the display result on the corresponding reel. Even if the reel rotation temporarily stops due to the occurrence of a reel rotation error, the stop operation is still detected until the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected after the reel rotation is restarted. Control is performed to stop the display result of the corresponding reels on the condition that the rotation of the reels that have not been continued is continued and the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected.

  In this embodiment, control is performed to stop the display result on the corresponding reel on condition that the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected. However, the rotation of the reel is started. When a predetermined automatic stop time has elapsed, even if the reel stop operation is not performed, it is assumed that the stop operation has been performed, and automatic stop control is performed to automatically stop each reel. May be. In this case, since the reels are stopped without the player's operation, it is preferable to derive a display result that does not constitute any combination even if any combination is won.

  Next, commands that the main CPU 41a transmits to the effect control board 90 will be described.

  In the present embodiment, the main CPU 41a sends a BET command, a credit command, an internal winning command, a reel rotation start command, a reel stop command, a winning determination command, a payout start command, a payout end command, a game state command to the effect control board 90. A plurality of types of commands including a standby command, an abort command, an error command, a return command, a setting start command, a confirmation start command, a confirmation end command, and an operation detection command.

  These commands are composed of 1-byte type data indicating the type of command and 1-byte extension data indicating the content of the command, and the sub CPU 91a can determine the type of command from the type data.

  The BET command is a command that can specify the number of inserted medals, that is, the number of medals used to set the bet number, and is a state from the end of the game (after setting change) to the start of the game. Sent when a medal is inserted or the bet number is set by operating the single BET switch 5 or the MAXBET switch 6 in a state where is not set. Further, since the BET command is transmitted when the betting number setting operation is performed, it is possible to specify that the betting number setting operation has been performed by receiving the BET command.

  The credit command is a command that can specify the number of medals stored as credits, and is a state from the end of the game (after setting change) to the start of the game, and in a state where a predetermined number of bets is set, Sent when a medal is inserted and credits are added.

  The internal winning command is a command that can specify the winning status of the internal winning flag and the type of the internal winning flag that has been established, and is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated to start the game. Further, since the internal winning command is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated, it is possible to specify that the start switch 7 has been operated by receiving the internal winning command.

  The reel rotation start command is a command for notifying the start of reel rotation, and is transmitted when rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is started.

  The reel stop command is a command that can specify whether the reel to be stopped is the left reel, the middle reel, or the right reel, the area number of the corresponding reel stop operation position, and the area number of the corresponding reel stop position. And is transmitted each time stop control is performed in accordance with the stop operation of each reel. Since the reel stop command is transmitted when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated, it is possible to specify that the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated by receiving the reel stop command. .

  The winning determination command is a command that can specify the presence / absence of winning, the type of winning, and the number of medals to be paid out at the time of winning, and is transmitted after all the reels are stopped and the winning determination is performed.

  The payout start command is a command for notifying the start of payout of medals, and is transmitted when the payout of medals is started by paying out a prize or credit (including medals used for setting the number of bets). The payout end command is a command for notifying the end of payout of medals, and is transmitted when the payout of medals by winning and winning a credit is completed.

  The game state command is a command that can specify the game state of the next game, and is transmitted when the setting change state ends and when the game ends.

  The standby command is a command indicating a transition to the standby state, and after one game is over, a credit (which was used for setting the bet number) is set when the transition to the standby state is made after a predetermined time without setting the bet number. (Including medals) is sent out after the medal payout is completed and the payout end command is sent.

  The stop command is a command indicating the occurrence or release of the stop state, and after the end of the BB, the stop command indicating the occurrence of the stop state is transmitted when the ending effect waiting time has elapsed, and the reset operation is performed. When the stop state is released, a stop command indicating the release of the stop state is transmitted.

  An error command is a command that indicates the occurrence or cancellation of an error condition and the type of error condition. When an error is determined and controlled to an error condition, an error command indicating the occurrence and type of the error condition is sent and reset. When the error state is canceled after the operation is performed, an error command indicating the cancellation of the error state is transmitted.

Release command is a command indicating that the main CPU 41 a is returned to the control state before the power interruption, it is transmitted upon returning to the control state before the power failure at the time of startup of the main CPU 41a.

The setting start command is a command indicating the start of the setting change state, and is transmitted when shifting to the setting change state. Moreover, since with the transition to the setting change state control state of the main CPU 41 a is initialized, it is possible to specify that the control state of the main CPU 41 a is initialized by setting start command.

  The confirmation start command is a command indicating the start of the setting confirmation state, and is transmitted when shifting to the setting confirmation state. The confirmation end command is a command indicating the end of the setting confirmation state, and is transmitted when the setting confirmation state ends.

  The operation detection command is a command indicating the detection state (ON / OFF) of the operation switches (one-sheet BET switch 5, MAXBET switch 6, start switch 7, stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R), and is transmitted at regular intervals. Is done.

  Among these commands, a setting start command, an error command indicating a RAM abnormality, and a return command are generated at a stage before an interrupt is permitted in the startup process and stored in a specific command transmission buffer assigned to a special work in the RAM 41c. And sent immediately.

  Commands other than a setting start command, an error command indicating a RAM abnormality, a return command, and an operation detection command are generated according to the progress of the game in the game process, and are temporarily stored in a normal command transmission buffer provided in a special work in the RAM 41c. Stored and transmitted in the command transmission process executed during the timer interrupt process (main).

  The operation detection command is generated every time the command transmission process is executed five times, stored in the aforementioned specific command transmission buffer, and immediately transmitted. In addition, when the operation detection command transmission time is reached with the unsent command stored in the normal command transmission buffer, priority is given to the transmission of the operation detection command and the normal command transmission buffer stores it. The untransmitted command is transmitted in the next command transmission process, and a plurality of commands are not transmitted in one command transmission process.

  Next, the control of the effect performed by the sub control unit 91 based on a command transmitted from the main CPU 41a to the effect control board 90 will be described.

  The sub CPU 91a executes a command reception interrupt process when a strobe signal indicating the transmission of a command from the main CPU 41a is input. In the command reception interrupt process, the command acquired from the command transmission line is stored in the reception buffer provided in the RAM 91c.

  In the timer interrupt process (sub), the sub CPU 91a determines whether or not an unprocessed command is stored in the reception buffer. If an unprocessed command is stored, the sub CPU 91a is the earliest stage. Based on the received command, the control pattern table stored in the ROM 91b is referred to. Based on the control contents registered in the control pattern table, various effects such as the liquid crystal display 51, the effect LED 52, the speakers 53 and 54, the reel LED 55, etc. Control the output of the device.

In the control pattern table, the display pattern of the liquid crystal display 51 corresponding to the type of command, the lighting mode of the lighting effect LED 52 , the output mode of the speakers 53 and 54, the lighting mode of the reel LED 55 , etc. The control patterns of these effect devices are registered, and when the sub CPU 91a receives the command, the sub CPU 91a among the control patterns registered corresponding to the effect patterns set in the RAM 91c in the game of the control pattern table. Then, referring to the control pattern corresponding to the received command type, the output control of the rendering device is performed based on the control pattern. Thereby, the production according to the production pattern and the progress of the game is executed.

  If the sub CPU 91a receives a new command during execution of an effect triggered by the reception of a certain command, the sub CPU 91a stops the effect based on the control pattern being executed, and responds to the newly received command. An effect based on the control pattern is executed. In other words, even if the production is not finished to the end, when a new command is received, the production that was being executed is canceled and a new command is received unless the received new command is not a command that triggers a new production. An effect based on the command is executed.

  In particular, in this embodiment, when an operation for setting the number of bets is performed during execution of an effect, that is, when the sub CPU 91a receives a BET command indicating that the number of bets has been set, the effect being executed is canceled. It is supposed to be. For this reason, if the player wants to proceed to the next game rather than seeing the production to the end, the production is canceled and the next game can be started. There is no. Further, when a credit or bet amount adjustment operation is performed during the performance, that is, after the sub CPU 91a receives a game state command indicating the end of the game, and before receiving an internal winning command indicating the start of the game. When the payout start command is received, the performance being executed is stopped. Credits and bets are settled when the game is terminated. In such a case, by terminating the performance that is being executed, there is an intention to end the game, but the performance continues unnecessarily. It is designed not to be overwhelmed.

  When the internal winning command is received, the effect pattern is selected at a selection rate corresponding to the result of the internal lottery indicated by the internal winning command, and is set in the RAM 91c. The selection rate of the effect pattern is registered in the effect table stored in the ROM 91b. When the sub CPU 91a receives the internal winning command, it is registered in the effect table according to the result of the internal lottery indicated by the internal winning command. Is selected from a plurality of types of effect patterns according to the selection rate, and the selected effect pattern is set in the RAM 91c as the effect pattern of the game, Even if the same command is received, a different control pattern is selected depending on the effect pattern selected when the internal winning command is received. As a result, different effects may be performed depending on the effect pattern.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, control is performed to any one of RT (0) to (4) except for the inside of BB (RB).

  RT (0) wins when a transition is made in RT (2) (one of the small roles GR (1) to (12) wins and none of the small roles can be stopped on the winning line) In this embodiment, “Bell-White 7-White 7”, “White 7-Bell-White 7”, and “White 7-White 7-Bell” are awarded). It moves when it stops on the line, and BB (1) to (3) wins and moves to RT (3) or RT (4) regardless of the number of games since the transition to RT (0). Or BB (4) wins and BB (4) wins and shifts to BB, or replay (3) or replay (4) wins and shifts to RT (1), and it ends. The winning probability of the re-gamer in RT (0) is a high probability (about 1 / 1.46), and the medal payout rate per game is 1 or more. Especially in RT (0), replay (2) wins at a rate of 1/2, and replay GR (2) (3) where replay (3) or replay (4) wins at a rate of 1/2. ) Is a higher probability than RT (1) to (4).

  RT (1) shifts when replay (3) or replay (4) wins at RT (0), and the specified number of games (510G in this embodiment) is consumed to shift to RT (0), BB (1) to (3) wins and moves to RT (3) or RT (4), or BB (4) wins and BB (4) wins and moves to BB . The winning probability of the re-gamer in RT (1) is a normal probability (about 1 / 7.30), and the medal payout rate per game is less than 1.

  RT (2) moves after the end of the BB, regardless of the number of games since the transition to RT (2), either special role wins or the above-mentioned transition outcome stops on the winning line BB (1)-(3) wins and moves to RT (3) or RT (4), or BB (4) wins and BB (4) wins and moves to BB Or, when the transition outcome stops on the winning line and transitions to RT (0), the process ends. The winning probability of the re-gamer in RT (2) is a normal probability (about 1 / 7.30), and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1. In RT (2), replay GR (1) (2) is not subject to internal lottery.

  RT (3) shifts when BB (1) or BB (2) wins, and regardless of the number of games since the transition to RT (3), the winning BB (1) or BB (2) Will continue until the winning BB (1) or BB (2) wins and moves to BB (RB). The winning probability of the re-gamer in RT (3) is a high probability (about 1 / 5.55), and the winning probability of the re-gamer is higher than RT (1) and RT (2), but RT (0) The medal payout rate per game is less than 1. In RT (3), the winning probability of replay (1) is higher than RT (0) to RT (2) in which the special role is not carried over.

  RT (4) will change when BB (3) wins, and will continue until the winning BB (4) wins regardless of the number of games since the transfer to RT (4). When (4) wins and shifts to BB (RB), the process ends. The winning probability of the re-gamer in RT (4) is a high probability (about 1/2), and the winning probability of the re-gamer is higher than RT (1), RT (2), and RT (3). It is lower than RT (0) and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1. In RT (4), the winning probability of replay (1) is higher than that of RT (0) to RT (2) in which the special role is not carried over, and the winning probability of replay (2) is RT ( 0) to (3) higher probability.

  In these RTs (0) to (2), the winning probabilities of special roles (including simultaneous winnings with a small role or replaying role) and the winning probabilities of small roles (including a small role GR) are the same probability, and RT ( 3) In (4), a special role (including simultaneous winning with a small role or replaying role) is not a lottery object, but the winning probability of a small role (including small role GR) is RT (0) to (2 ) And the same probability.

  Of RT (0) to (4), RT (0) has a higher probability of winning a re-gamer than RT (1) (2), and the payout rate of medals per game is 1 or more. (1) A relatively advantageous gaming state compared to (2).

  In RT (2), the winning probability of the re-gamer is almost the same as RT (1), and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1. However, the game is stopped by stopping the transition game. (RT (1) does not transition to RT (0) except when the game is digested, whereas RT (2) does not transition to RT (0)) Therefore, the gaming state is relatively advantageous compared to RT (1).

  In RT (1), the winning probability of the re-gamer is almost the same as RT (2), the medal payout rate per game is less than 1, and the medal payout rate per game is RT ( Although it is almost the same as 2), since it cannot be expected to shift to RT (0) advantageous to the player, the gaming state is relatively disadvantageous compared to RT (2).

  In addition, RT (3) (4) has a higher probability of winning a re-gamer than RT (1) (2) and can play a game without relatively reducing medals until winning a special role. (1) The game state is relatively advantageous compared to (2), but the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1, and the game state is relatively disadvantageous compared to RT (0). is there.

  Here, the transition state of the gaming state of this embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 8, when BB (1) or BB (2) is won in any of RT (0) to (2), RT (3) After that, BB (1) or BB (2) wins and shifts to BB, and when BB ends, shifts to RT (2).

  In addition, when BB (3) is elected in any of RT (0) to (2), the process shifts to RT (4), and then BB (3) wins and shifts to BB. Move to (2). If BB (3) wins alone, BB (3) wins the game and shifts to BB, and when BB ends, shifts to RT (2).

  In addition, when BB (4) is won in any of RT (0) to (2), BB (4) wins in the game and shifts to BB, and when BB ends, shifts to RT (2).

  In RT (2), the transition is stopped, and the transition to RT (0) advantageous to the player is made. RT (0) continues until one of the special roles is won or until Replay (3) or Replay (4) wins. When Replay (3) or Replay (4) wins, RT (1) Transition.

  In RT (1), except when any special role is won, after transitioning to RT (1), after the prescribed number of games (510 games) has been consumed, it returns to RT (0) again.

  The transitional outcome is that the first stop reel other than the reel that will win the small role (13) when any of the small roles GR (1) to (12) is won, and the small roles (1) to (1) to (12) If the stop operation is performed at a timing that is outside the drawing range of the configuration symbol, that is, if any small role cannot be won, it is possible to stop, so RT that has transitioned after the end of BB If any of the small roles GR (1) to (12) is won in (2) and none of the small roles is won, the process shifts to RT (0).

  As described above, in this embodiment, the replay (3) or the replay (4) wins at RT (0) advantageous to the player, and RT (1) which is a relatively disadvantageous game state than RT (0). Even after shifting to RT, when the prescribed number of games (510 games) is consumed, it will return to RT (0) again, so it is expected that it will return to RT (0) even if it shifts to RT (1) A feeling can be maintained.

  In addition, when BB (1) or BB (2) wins at RT (1) (2) (when the special role is not carried over), the winning probability of replay (1) is higher than RT (1) (2). Since the transition to RT (3) is high, the appearance frequency of replay (1) is increased, so that the expectation that BB (1) or BB (2) is elected can be enhanced. .

  In addition, since Replay (1) can be won simultaneously with BB (1) to (3), even if Replay (1) wins, BB (1) to (3) is won. Expectation can be raised.

  In addition, the configuration symbol of BB (3) is arranged so as to be within the pull-in range in any reel, and when BB (3) is elected alone, regardless of the timing of the stop operation BB (3) will always win, but BB (3) may win at the same time as Replay (1). In this case, Replay (1) must win and BB (3) The winning flag will be carried over after the next game.

  Then, when BB (3) is won, it shifts to RT (4) where the winning probability of replay (1) is higher than that of RT (1) (2), and the winning probability of the re-gamer is higher than RT (3). Therefore, after winning the replay (1) that may be won simultaneously with BB (3), BB (3) will be won during the re-playing role or small role winning continuously. Can maintain a sense of expectation.

  Whether the small role GR (1) to (4) has been won, the small role GR (5) to (8) has been won, or the small role GR (9) to (12) has been won, as described above. Accordingly, the first stop reel with a high expected payout value differs, and even if one of the small roles GR (1) to (12) is elected, if the type is not known, the first stop with a high expected payout value intentionally The reel cannot be selected, the first stop reel having a high payout expectation value is selected at a rate of 1/3, and the first stop reel having a low payout expectation value is selected at a rate of 2/3. .

  On the other hand, the sub CPU 91a of the present embodiment, when any of the small roles GR (1) to (12) wins, the first stop reel (the small roles GR (1) to (4) having a high expected payout value. ) Left reel if wins, medium reel if wins for small roles GR (5) to (8), right reel if wins for small roles GR (9) to (12) The stop order navigation can be executed, and by executing the stop order navigation, the player can specify the first stop reel having a high payout expectation value, and the notified reel is designated as the first reel. By stopping, it is possible to always win 8 cards, and it is possible to acquire more medals than when stop order navigation is not executed.

  The stop order navigation is not limited as long as the player can recognize the first stop reel, and the first stop reel or an image suggesting the stop order is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Alternatively, notification may be made by lighting a corresponding LED, outputting a corresponding sound, or the like.

  Further, as described above, when Replay (3) or Replay (4) wins in RT (0) advantageous to the player, RT (0) ends and RT (0) which is disadvantageous to the player than RT (0). 1). Replay (3) may win when Replay GR (1) wins, and Replay (4) may win when Replay GR (2) wins. When the replay GR (1) is won, the replay (3) wins when the left reel is set to the first stop, but when the other reel is set to the first stop, the replay (2 ) Wins and replay (3) can be avoided. On the other hand, when the replay GR (2) is won, the replay (4) will win when the middle reel or the right reel is the first stop, but the left reel is the first stop. Replay (2) wins and replay (4) win can be avoided.

  However, if either the replay GR (1) or the replay GR (2) is won at RT (0), if the type is not known, the replay (3) or the replay (4) is intentionally avoided. The first stop reel cannot be selected, and the first stop reel that the replay (1) wins at a rate of 1/2 is selected, but the replay (3) or The first stop reel from which Replay (4) will win is selected, and RT (0) ends.

  On the other hand, when either the replay GR (1) or the replay GR (2) wins at RT (0), the sub CPU 91a wins the replay (2) and replay (3) or replay (4 ) To avoid the first stop reel (the middle reel or the right reel if the replay GR (1) is won, the left reel if the replay GR (2) is won) When the stop order navigation is executed, the player can win the first stop reel that will win the replay (2) and avoid the replay (3) or the replay (4). It becomes possible to identify, and by making the notified reel the first stop, it becomes possible to avoid the replay (3) or replay (4) winning and to win the replay (2), Thereby making it possible to avoid the end of the T (0).

  The sub CPU 91a executes the stop order navigation mainly when the small roles GR (1) to (12) and the replay GR (1) (2) are won at RT (0). When the navigation right is granted to, the stop order navigation is executed.

  The navigation right is composed of a navigation right 1 and a navigation right 2, as shown in FIG.

  The navigation right 1 is a right to execute stop order navigation when the small roles GR (1) to (12) and the replay GR (1) (2) are won for 25 games at RT (0). A plurality of navigation rights 1 can be granted, and when the navigation right 1 is further granted in a state where the navigation right 1 remains, the amount is added.

  The navigation right 1 is granted by winning the navigation right lottery 1 executed by the sub CPU 91a when BB (1) to (4) are won. In the navigation right lottery 1, one of 0 to 30 winning numbers is determined, and the determined winning number of navigation rights 1 is given.

  At this time, depending on whether one of BB (1) to (4) has been won, the average value of the number of Navi rights 1 to be won in Navi rights lottery 1 is drawn with a different probability, and BB (3) When BB (3) is won at the same time as Replay (1) and when BB (3) is won alone, the average value of the number of Navi rights 1 to be won in Navi Rights Lottery 1 Are drawn with different probabilities.

  Specifically, when BB (3) wins alone, the winning number is determined from any of 15 to 30 winning numbers, whereas BB (3) wins simultaneously with Replay (1). In the case or when BB (1) (2) (4) is won, the winning number is determined from any of 0 to 15 winning numbers. For this reason, when BB (3) is elected alone, at least 15 navigation rights 1 are won, so the average value of the number of winning is the highest.

  Besides, when BB (3) is not selected alone, when BB (4) is won, the average value of the winning number of Navi Right 1 is the highest, and then when BB (1) is won, BB (2) is won. At the same time, the navigation right lottery 1 is performed with a probability that the average value of the winning number of the navigation right 1 becomes higher in the order of the simultaneous winning of the BB (3) and the replay (1).

  When the navigation right 1 is granted, when shifting to RT (0), one of the granted navigation rights 1 is subtracted until 25 games are consumed, and the small roles GR (1) to (12) ), Stop order navigation is executed when replay GR (1) (2) is won. Then, after the 25 games are digested, if the navigation right 1 still remains, one navigation right 1 is subtracted again, and the small role GR (1) to (12), replay GR (1) until the 25 games are digested. When (2) wins, the stop order navigation is executed, and thereafter, these controls are repeatedly executed until the navigation right 1 becomes zero.

  In addition, after the start of the period based on Navi Right 1, if RT (0) is terminated by accidentally winning Replay (3) or Replay (4) before 25 games are consumed, the remaining games If the navigation right 1 remains, the stop order navigation is executed again based on the remaining navigation right 1 when shifting to RT (0). In addition, after the start of the period based on Navi Right 1, if RT (0) is ended by accidentally winning Replay (3) or Replay (4) before 25 games are consumed, the number of remaining games Is not invalidated, but after the transition to RT (1), after the start of the period based on Navi right 1 until 25 games are consumed, the small roles GR (1) to (12) are stopped when winning You may make it perform forward navigation.

  In addition, after the start of the period based on Navi Right 1, if any special role is won and RT (0) ends before the 25 games are consumed, the remaining number of games will not be invalidated. Then, when shifting to RT (0), stop order navigation is executed without subtracting new navigation right 1 until the remaining number of games is consumed.

  As for the navigation right 2, stop order navigation is executed when the small roles GR (1) to (12) and the replay GR (1) (2) are won until BB (3) is won at RT (0). Even if BB (1) (2) (4) is elected in the middle and RT (0) is finished, the navigation is executed again in order by moving to RT (0) again. . In this embodiment, the winning probability of BB (3) is about 1/150, and stop order navigation is executed based on the navigation right 2 until this BB (3) wins. Is more advantageous than Navi Right 1 which ends in 25 games. A plurality of navigation rights 2 can also be granted, and when the navigation right 2 is further granted in a state where the navigation right 2 remains, the amount is added.

  The navigation right 2 is granted by winning the navigation right lottery 2 executed by the sub CPU 91a only when BB (4) is won. In the navigation right lottery 2, one of 0 to 11 winning numbers is determined, and the determined winning number of navigation rights 2 is given.

  When the navigation right 2 is granted, when the navigation right 2 is granted and the program first shifts to RT (0), one of the granted navigation rights 2 is subtracted, and the next BB (3) The stop order navigation is executed when the small roles GR (1) to (12) and the replay GR (1) (2) are won until winning. Then, if there is more navigation right 2 when the next BB (3) is elected, one navigation right 2 is subtracted again when the next transition to RT (0) is made, and the next BB (3 ) Is executed until the small role GR (1) to (12) and the replay GR (1) (2) are won until the winning combination is won. Repeatedly.

  In addition, after the start of the period based on Navi Right 2, before BB (3) wins, replay (3) or replay (4) is mistakenly won and RT (0) ends and the process proceeds to RT (1) Even if it has been done, until BB (3) wins, when the small role GR (1)-(12) is won, stop order navigation is executed, and then it moves to RT (0) again In this case, the stop order navigation is executed when the small roles GR (1) to (12) and the replay GR (1) (2) are won without newly subtracting the navigation right 2.

  Further, when BB (4) is won, both the navigation right lottery 1 and the navigation right lottery 2 are performed. In this case, each lottery is performed, and the navigation right 1 and the navigation right 2 are respectively selected. If is won, both will be awarded.

  In addition, when both the navigation right 1 and the navigation right 2 are granted when moving to RT (0), the stop order navigation is first performed based on the navigation right 2 having a higher advantage than the navigation right 1. Executed, and after the navigation right 2 becomes zero, the stop order navigation is executed based on the navigation right 1.

  In addition, when no special role is elected and RT (1) is digested to the specified number of games and shifted to RT (0), neither Navi Right 1 nor Navi Right 2 is granted. Even if there is a special role GR (1) to (12) or replay GR (1) (2), the stop order navigation is executed until any special role is won next time. In this case, even if one of the special roles wins the replay (3) or replay (4) by mistake before RT (0) ends before any special role is won, Until then, stop order navigation is executed when the small roles GR (1) to (12) are won.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the navigation right 1 is granted, the small roles GR (1) to (() in the period until the 25 games are consumed after the start of the period based on the navigation right 1 in RT (0). 12) When the replay GR (1) (2) is won, the stop order navigation is executed. On the other hand, when the navigation right 2 is granted, after the start of the period based on the navigation right 1 at RT (0), The stop order navigation is executed when the small roles GR (1) to (12) and the replay GR (1) (2) are won in the period until the BB (3) is won without finishing the 25 game digestion. It becomes. That is, since the end condition of the period during which stop order navigation is executed differs according to the type of navigation right granted, it is possible to prevent the game from becoming monotonous.

  In this embodiment, the winning probability of BB (3) is about 1/150, and stop order navigation is executed based on the navigation right 2 until this BB (3) wins. Is more advantageous than the navigation right 1 that ends in 25 games, that is, the expected number of games in the period in which stop order navigation is executed based on the navigation right is higher than the navigation right 1, and the expected number of medals that can be obtained accordingly The value also increases. For this reason, the navigation right 1 and the navigation right 2 are not only different in terms of the end conditions of the period during which stop order navigation is executed, but also have a substantial advantage for the player, so the navigation right 1 is granted. The game characteristics can be further changed between the case and the case where the navigation right 2 is granted.

  In this embodiment, the small role GR (1) is used for both the period for executing the stop order navigation based on the navigation right 1 and the period for executing the stop order navigation based on the navigation right 2. ~ (12), the stop order navigation is executed when the replay GR (1) (2) is won, but the stop order navigation is executed based on the navigation right 1 and the stop right navigation is executed. It is good also as a structure which performs stop order navigation at the time of winning a different role by the period which performs forward navigation.

  For example, in the period in which stop order navigation is executed based on the navigation right 1, stop order navigation is executed both when winning the small roles GR (1) to (12) and when winning the replay GR (1) (2). On the other hand, during the period in which the stop order navigation is executed based on the navigation right 2, the stop order navigation is executed only when the replay GR (1) (2) is won, and the small roles GR (1) to (12). It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which stop order navigation is not executed at the time of winning, and in such a configuration, when navigation right 1 is granted, the execution period of stop order navigation is short, but per game The medal payout rate of the game is higher than when the navigation right 2 is granted, whereas when the navigation right 2 is granted, the medal payout rate per game is lower than when the navigation right 1 is granted. , Than when Navi right 1 is granted Since it is possible to continue an advantageous gaming state over a long period of time, it is possible to have a great change in game characteristics when the navigation right 1 is granted and when the navigation right 2 is granted. .

  Further, during the period in which the stop order navigation is executed based on the navigation right 1, the stop order navigation is executed only when the replay GR (1) (2) is won and the small roles GR (1) to (12) are won. In the period in which the stop order navigation is executed based on the navigation right 2, the replay GR (1) (2) is also executed when the small roles GR (1) to (12) are won. ) May be configured to execute stop order navigation even at the time of winning, and in such a configuration, when navigation right 1 is granted, the execution period of stop order navigation is short, and further, per game The medal payout rate is lower than when the navigation right 2 is granted, whereas when the navigation right 2 is granted, the medal payout rate per game is higher than when the navigation right 1 is granted, Than when navigator right 1 is granted Since it is possible to continue an advantageous gaming state over a long period of time, there is a large difference in the number of medals that can be expected to be obtained when the navigation right 1 is granted and when the navigation right 2 is granted And a great change in game performance can be provided.

  In addition, if the stop period navigation is performed based on different roles in the period in which the stop order navigation based on the navigation right 1 is executed and the period in which the stop order navigation is executed based on the navigation right 2, the navigation order navigation is performed. Even if the end condition of the period for executing stop order navigation based on the right 1 and the end condition for the period of executing stop order navigation based on the right 2 are common, Accordingly, since it is possible to change the game characteristics, it is possible to prevent the game from becoming monotonous.

  Further, in this embodiment, when BB (4) is won, both the navigation right lottery 1 and the navigation right lottery 2 are performed. In this case, each lottery is performed, and the navigation right is respectively determined. If 1 and Navi Right 2 are won, both will be granted. In other words, when BB (4) is won, both Navi Right 1 and Navi Right 2 are likely to be granted. Therefore, by winning BB (4) as a common opportunity, In addition to acquiring the right to perform stop order navigation, attention can be paid to the type of navigation.

  Further, in this embodiment, when both the navigation right 1 and the navigation right 2 are won, or when the other navigation right is won while the navigation right 1 or the navigation right 2 remains, the navigation right 1, Both of the navigation rights 2 may be granted. In this case, first, stop order navigation is executed based on the highly advantageous navigation rights 2, and after the navigation rights 2 becomes 0, the navigation rights Based on 1, stop order navigation is executed. That is, first, since the navigation right 2 that is highly advantageous for the player is consumed, for example, even if the game time is limited, the loss suffered by the player can be minimized. it can.

  In this embodiment, BB (3) can be won simultaneously with Replay (1), and when BB (3) is won, the game moves to RT (4) where the winning probability of the re-gamer is high. ) Will be less likely to win, so after replay (1), BB (3) will be elected while the re-playing role is easy to win and while the re-playing role or small role continues to win. Can maintain the player's expectation of being. In addition, BB (3) may be won alone, and if BB (3) is won alone, the grant of 15 or more navigation rights 1 will be confirmed, so replay (1) Even if no wins, BB (3) can be expected to win alone.

  Further, in this embodiment, after the start of the period based on the navigation right 2, the replay (3) or the replay (4) is mistakenly won before the BB (3) wins, and the RT (0) ends. Even if BB (3) wins, when the small roles GR (1) to (12) are won, stop order navigation is executed, and after that, when RT (0) is transferred again, Stop order navigation is executed without newly subtracting the navigation right 2, and in such a case, the advantage for the player is lower than when RT (0) does not end. However, it is possible to play a game in a state where the payout rate is higher than a state where no stop order navigation is executed at all until a special combination is won.

  Also, in this embodiment, when no special role is won and RT (1) is used for the specified number of games and the game moves to RT (0), a small role is won until one of the special roles is won next time. When GR (1)-(12) and Replay GR (1) (2) are won, stop order navigation will be executed. In this case, too, before any special role is won, Even if the replay (3) or the replay (4) is won and the RT (0) is finished, the small role GR (1) to (12) until one of the special roles is won. ) Is executed in order of stoppage when winning, and even in such a case, although the advantage for the player is lower than when RT (0) does not end, Stop order in the period until at least one of the special roles is elected It can be played at a high payout rate state than in the state that are not running.

  On the other hand, after the start of the period based on Navi Right 1, if RT (0) is ended by mistakenly replaying (3) or replaying (4) before 25 games are consumed, Stop order navigation is not executed. This is to prevent the payout rate from being increased by intentionally ending RT (0) before running 25 games and subsequently executing stop order navigation. In addition, after the start of the period based on Navi Right 1, even if RT (0) is ended by mistakenly replaying (3) or replaying (4) before 25 games are consumed, 25 games have elapsed. The stop order navigation may be executed.

  In the present embodiment, the first stop reel having a high payout expectation value is different depending on the type of the small combination GR, that is, the difference in the small combination to be won at the same time, and the navigation right is granted. The stop order navigation for notifying the first stop reel having a high expected payout value according to the type of the small role GR is executed, but the order of the stop operation having the high expected payout value according to the type of the small role GR is determined. It is good also as a structure which performs the stop order navigation which alert | reports the order of stop operation with a high payout expectation value according to the kind of small role GR in the state which is set as a different structure and the navigation right is provided.

  In addition, the timing of the stop operation that can be awarded according to the type of small role is different, and in the state where the right to navigate is granted, the small role can be awarded according to the type of small role. It is good also as a structure which alert | reports the possible stop operation timing or the information which can identify it.

In this embodiment, the replay GR having a high degree of advantage (replaying player capable of avoiding the termination of RT (0)) according to the type of replay GR, that is, the difference of replaying winnings at the same time, is won. In the state where one stop reel is different and the right to navigate is further granted, the stop order informing the first stop reel capable of winning a replaying player having a high advantage according to the type of replay GR. Although the configuration is such that the navigation is executed, the replay is performed in a state in which the order of stop operations in which a replaying player having a high advantage can be awarded according to the type of the replay GR is different and the navigation right is granted. GR type may have a structure you notify the order capable of winning a high advantage of replay combination stop operation in accordance with the.

  In addition, the timing of the stop operation that allows a replay player with a high advantage to win according to the replay GR is different, and the timing of the stop operation that allows a regame player with a higher advantage to win When a stop operation is performed at a different timing, a replay player who is disadvantageous to the player (replay player who ends RT (0)) wins, and in the state where the right to navigate is granted, the replay GR It is good also as a structure which alert | reports the stop operation timing which can win a re-game player with a high advantage according to the kind, or the information which can identify it.

  Further, in this embodiment, as described above, in RT (2), the transition is stopped and the transition to RT (0) advantageous to the player is made. For the transition, the small combination GR (1) to (12) wins and the small combination (1) which is different from the reel where the small combination (13) stops is selected and the winning combination (1) Although it will be stopped by performing a stop operation at a timing outside the drawing range of the constituent symbols of (12), if the reel where the small role (13) stops is selected as the first stop reel, the transitional outcome is stopped. I can't.

  Therefore, when the sub CPU 91a wins one of the small roles GR (1) to (12) in RT (2), the first stop reel (small role GR ( If the winning is 1) to (4), the middle reel or the right reel, and if winning the small role GR (5) to (8), the left reel or right reel, the small role GR (9) to (12) In this case, the stop order navigation for notifying the left reel or the middle reel) may be executed. With such a configuration, the small roles GR (1) to (12) in RT (2) are possible. When one of the above is won, the player can specify the first stop reel that can stop the transition outcome, and the transition outcome can be achieved by setting the notified reel to the first stop. If it becomes possible to stop and stop order navigation is not executed It can be shifted to the RT (0) at an earlier stage than.

  In this embodiment, the sub CPU 91a can notify the winning number of navigation rights at the end of the BB.

  The winning number of the navigation right is not necessarily notified, and whether or not to notify the winning number is determined in the winning number notification lottery 1 performed at the end of the BB, and the winning number is notified only when it is determined to notify. To do.

  In the winning number notification lottery 1, it is determined whether or not to notify according to the winning number of the navigation right.

  FIG. 11A is a diagram showing a winning number correspondence table A used for the winning number notification lottery 1. In the winning number notification lottery 1, when the right number of the navigation right 1 is 1 to 5 (the navigation right 2 When the number of rights is 1-2), it is determined that the number of rights of the navigation right 1 (navigation right 2) is notified at a rate of 80%, and is determined not to be notified at a rate of 20%. In addition, when the number of rights of the navigation right 1 is 6 to 10 (when the number of rights of the navigation right 2 is 3 to 5), the number of rights of the navigation right 1 (navigation right 2) is set to 50%. It is determined to notify, and it is determined not to notify at a rate of 50%. Further, when the number of right of navigation right 1 is 11 or more (when the number of rights of navigation right 2 is 6 or more), the number of rights of navigation right 1 (navigation right 2) is notified at a rate of 10%. And decide not to broadcast at a rate of 90%.

  In this way, it is determined that the winning number of the navigation right is notified at a higher rate as the winning number is smaller, and is determined not to be notified at a higher rate as the winning number is larger. Thereby, when the winning number of navigation rights is small, the notification is made at a high rate, so that when the winning number is small, it is possible to reassure the player that the navigation right has been won. On the other hand, when there are many winning numbers, it is not notified at a high rate, so it is possible to increase the possibility that more navigation rights are actually winning than the winning number recognized by the player. Can be made more sustainable.

  In addition, when it is determined that the winning number of the navigation right is determined to be notified in the winning number notification lottery 1, the winning number of the navigation right is not necessarily notified accurately, and the winning number less than the actual winning number is notified. May be.

  Whether or not to accurately notify the winning number is determined in the winning number notifying lottery 2 performed when it is determined to notify the winning number in the winning number notifying lottery 1, and if it is determined to be accurately notified, the exact winning number is determined. And when it is determined not to be notified accurately, the winning number less than the actual winning number is notified.

  In the winning number notification lottery 2, it is determined whether or not to notify accurately according to the winning number won this time and the number of rights already granted.

  FIG. 11B is a diagram showing a winning number correspondence table B used for the winning number notification lottery 2. In the winning number notification lottery 2, when the winning number of the navigation right 1 is 1 (the winning number of the navigation right 2 is In the case of 1), regardless of the number of right of navigation right 1 (navigation right 2) that has already been granted, the winning number of actual winning number minus 0, that is, the exact winning number is notified at a rate of 100%. decide.

  When the winning number of the navigation right 1 is 2 to 5 (the winning number of the navigation right 2 is 2 to 5) and the number of the right of the navigation right 1 that has been granted is 0 to 5 (the navigation right that has already been granted) When the number of rights of 2 is 0 to 2), it is determined that the winning number of the actual winning number -1 is notified at a rate of 30%, and the actual winning number-0 is notified at a rate of 70%. decide.

  When the winning number of the navigation right 1 is 2 to 5 (the winning number of the navigation right 2 is 2 to 5) and the number of the right of the navigation right 1 already granted is 6 to 10 (the already assigned navigation right When the number of rights of 2 is 3 to 5), it is determined that the winning number of the actual winning number -1 is notified at a rate of 50%, and the actual winning number-0 is notified at a rate of 50%. decide.

  When the winning number of the navigation right 1 is 2 to 5 (the winning number of the navigation right 2 is 2 to 5) and the number of the right of the navigation right 1 that has been granted is 11 or more (the navigation right 2 that has already been granted) If the number of rights is 6 or more), it is determined to notify the actual winning number minus 1 at the rate of 90%, and to notify the actual winning number minus 0 at the rate of 10%. .

  When the winning number of the navigation right 1 is 6 to 10 (the winning number of the navigation right 2 is 6 to 8) and the number of the right of the navigation right 1 already granted is 0 to 5 (the navigation right already granted) If the number of rights of 2 is 0 to 2), it is determined that the winning number of the actual winning number -3 is notified at a rate of 10%, and the winning number of the actual winning number -1 is notified at a rate of 20%. It is determined that the winning number of the winning number-0 is notified at a rate of 70%.

  When the winning number of the navigation right 1 is 6 to 10 (the winning number of the navigation right 2 is 6 to 8) and the number of the right of the navigation right 1 already granted is 6 to 10 (the navigation right already granted When the number of rights of 2 is 3 to 5), it is determined that the winning number of the actual winning number -3 is notified at a rate of 20%, and the winning number of the actual winning number -1 is notified at a rate of 30%. It is decided to notify the winning number of the actual winning number-0 at a rate of 50%.

  When the winning number of the navigation right 1 is 6 to 10 (the winning number of the navigation right 2 is 6 to 8) and the number of the right of the navigation right 1 already granted is 11 or more (the already assigned navigation right 2) If the number of rights held is 6 or more), it is decided to notify the winning number of the actual winning number -3 at a rate of 50%, and to notify the winning number of the actual winning number -1 at a rate of 30%. , It is determined that the winning number of the actual winning number-0 is notified at a rate of 20%.

  When the winning number of the navigation right 1 is 11 to 15 (the winning number of the navigation right 2 is 9 to 11), and the number of the right of the navigation right 1 already granted is 0 to 5 (the already assigned navigation right When the number of rights of 2 is 0 to 2), it is determined that the winning number of the actual winning number -1 is notified at a rate of 10%, and the actual winning number-0 is notified at a rate of 90%. decide.

  When the winning number of the navigation right 1 is 11 to 15 (the winning number of the navigation right 2 is 9 to 11) and the number of the right of the navigation right 1 already granted is 6 to 10 (the already assigned navigation right) If the number of rights of 2 is 3 to 5), it is decided to notify the actual winning number -5 at the rate of 10%, and notify the actual winning number -3 at the rate of 10%. It is determined to notify the winning number of the actual winning number minus 1 at a rate of 30%, and to notify the winning number of the actual winning number minus 0 at a rate of 50%.

  When the winning number of the navigation right 1 is 11 to 15 (the winning number of the navigation right 2 is 9 to 11) and the number of the right of the navigation right 1 that has been granted is 11 or more (the navigation right 2 that has already been granted) (If the number of rights is 6 or more), it is decided to notify the winning number of the actual winning number -5 at the rate of 30%, and to notify the winning number of the actual winning number -3 at the rate of 30%. , It is determined to notify the winning number of the actual winning number minus 1 at a rate of 30%, and to notify the winning number of the actual winning number minus 0 at a rate of 10%.

  In this way, the smaller the winning number, the higher the percentage of the actual winning number or the closer to the actual winning number is determined to be notified, and the higher the winning number, the higher the percentage of the actual winning number. It is determined so that a smaller winning number is notified. Thereby, when the winning number is small, it is possible to reassure the player that the right of navigation is won when the winning number is small, by accurately informing at a high rate. On the other hand, when the winning number is large, the winning number that is smaller than the actual winning number is notified at a high rate, so that more navigation rights are actually won than the winning number recognized by the player. Can increase the possibility of being in the future, and can sustain expectations.

  In this embodiment, the configuration is such that the winning number of navigation rights is notified, but it may be configured to notify the remaining number of navigation rights, and in this case also, the remaining number less than the actual remaining number is notified. Accordingly, it is possible to give a sense of expectation that more navigation rights than the remaining number of notifications are given.

  Also, in this case, it is preferable to notify the remaining number more accurately as the remaining number of navigation rights is smaller, and to notify the remaining number smaller than the actual remaining number as the remaining number of navigation rights is larger. By doing so, the possibility that more navigation rights actually remain than the remaining number recognized by the player can be increased, and the expectation can be further sustained.

  In the case of notifying the remaining number of navigation rights less than the actual remaining number, if the remaining number of navigation rights is notified once, then the remaining number of navigation rights is already notified. It is preferable that the remaining number equal to or greater than the value obtained by subtracting the digested right number from the remaining number of left navigation rights is notified, and in this way, the notified navigation is performed even though the navigation right is not digested. It is possible to prevent the number of rights from being reduced.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and modifications and additions within the scope of the present invention are included in the present invention. Needless to say.

  In the above embodiment, a slot machine for setting bets using medals and credits is used, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a slot machine for setting bets using game balls, It may be a full credit type slot machine that uses only credits to set the number of bets.

  Further, in addition to the medal insertion mechanism such as the flow path switching solenoid 30 and the insertion medal sensor 31, a ball take-in device that takes in a game ball, and a take-in ball that detects a game ball taken in by the ball take-in device In addition to a medal payout mechanism, such as a hopper motor 34b and a payout sensor 34c, a ball payout device for paying out game balls and a payout ball detection switch for detecting game balls payed out by the ball payout device It is possible to set a bet number using both medals and game balls and play a game, and the present invention may be applied to a slot machine in which medals and game balls are paid out by winning.

  Second Embodiment A slot machine to which the present invention is applied will be described. The configuration of the slot machine according to the present embodiment includes the same configuration as that of the first embodiment described above, and therefore, different points will be mainly described here.

  In the first embodiment described above, RT (0) is maintained even if the small roles (1) to (12) win in RT (0), but in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. Furthermore, in addition to the case where the replay (3) or the replay (4) wins at RT (0), RT (0) ends and RT (1) also occurs when the small roles (1) to (12) win. ).

  Therefore, when any of the small roles GR (1) to (12) is won at RT (0), the first stop reel capable of winning the small role (13) is selected (1). / 3) The small roles (1) to (12) will not win and RT (0) will not end, but the reels that can win the small role (13) will be stopped for the first time. When selected as a reel (about 2/3), a small operation (1) to (12) is performed by performing a stop operation (about 3/4) at a timing outside the drawing-in range of the constituent symbol of the selected small role. ) Will not win, and the end of RT (0) will be avoided, but stop operation will be performed at the timing within the drawing range of the constituent symbol of the winning small role (about 1/4) Thus, the small roles (1) to (13) win and RT (0) ends. That is, if any of the small roles GR (1) to (12) is won at RT (0), the probability is about 5/6 (1/3 + 2/3 × 3/4) if the type is not known. In this case, the winning of the small roles (1) to (12) is not won, and the end of RT (0) can be avoided. Wins and RT (0) ends.

  In this embodiment, stop order navigation is performed to notify the first stop reel that can win the small combination (13) when winning the small combination GR (1) to (12) at RT (0). It is possible, and by following the stop order navigation, it is possible to avoid the end of RT (0) after winning the small role (13).

  In the above-described first embodiment, the navigation right 1 is the stop order navigation when the small roles GR (1) to (12) and the replay GR (1) (2) are won for 25 games in RT (0). This is a right to be executed, and when Navi right 2 is won by small roles GR (1) to (12) and replay GR (1) (2) until BB (3) is won at RT (0). In contrast to the right to execute stop order navigation, as shown in FIG. 13, in this embodiment, the navigation right 1 is stop order when the replay GR (1) (2) is won at RT (0). Navi right 2 is the right not to execute stop order navigation when the small roles GR (1) to (12) are won, and Navi right 2 is the winning of the small roles GR (1) to (12) at RT (0) Execute stop order navigation at times, and stop order when replay GR (1) (2) wins Is a right not to execute the bi. Then, the replay (3) (4) and the small roles (1) to (12) both win and RT (0) ends is a navigation right end condition.

  If the replay (3) or the replay (4) wins when the replay GR (2) or the replay GR (3) is won, if the type is unknown, the probability is ½. When the winning probabilities of GR (2) and (3) are the same probability and the sum is X, replay (3) or replay (4) wins at RT (0), and RT (0) The probability of ending is X / 2 (1/2 × X).

  On the other hand, the probability of winning the small roles (1) to (12) when winning the small roles GR (1) to (12) is about 1/6 if the type is not known. If the winning probabilities of the small roles GR (1) to (12) are the same, and the sum is Y, the small roles (1) to (12) win a prize at RT (0), and RT The probability of ending (0) is Y / 6 (1/6 × Y).

  As described above, in the navigation right 1, since the stop order navigation is executed when the replay GR (1) (2) is won, the replay (3) is executed when the replay GR (1) (2) is won. Alternatively, it becomes possible to avoid the replay (4) winning, and when the winning of the small roles GR (1) to (12) is won, any of the small roles (1) to (12) wins. Therefore, the expected value of the number of games that RT (0) continues when the navigation right 1 is granted is 6 / Y.

  In the navigation right 2, since the stop order navigation is executed when the small roles GR (1) to (12) are selected, the small role (1) to (12) is selected when the small roles GR (1) to (12) are selected. ) To (12) can be avoided, and when the replay GR (1) (2) is won, the replay (3) or the replay (4) will be ended and the navigation right 2 The expected value of the number of games in which RT (0) continues when 2 is given is 2 / X.

  Therefore, by determining the synthesis probability (X) of the replay GR (1) (2) and the synthesis probability (Y) of the small roles GR (1) to (6) so that 2 / X≈6 / Y, RT (0) is the expected value of the number of continuing games, although the opportunity for the termination of RT (0) is different regardless of whether the navigation right 1 is granted or the navigation right 2 is granted. Are almost the same, but when Navi right 2 is granted, the small roles (1) to (12) whose RT (0) ends when the small roles GR (1) to (12) are won In addition to the stop order to avoid winning a prize, the stop order in which the small role (13) can be won is informed, and the winning probability of the small role is increased accordingly. Is advantageous to the player.

  Further, by determining the synthesis probability (X) of the replay GR (1) (2) and the synthesis probability (Y) of the small roles GR (1) to (6) so that 2 / X <6 / Y, the navigation is performed. When the right 1 is granted, the expected value of the number of continued games of RT (0) is larger than when the navigation right 2 is granted. It is possible to win the small role (13) in addition to the stop order to avoid winning the small roles (1) to (12) in which RT (0) ends when winning the winning roles GR (1) to (12) Since the stop order is notified and the winning probability of the small role is increased accordingly, the payout rate per game is higher although the number of continued games is shorter than in the case where the navigation right 1 is granted. That is, depending on the type of navigation right, the number of continuing games is larger than the other but the payout rate is lower than the other, and the number of continuing games is smaller than the other but the payout rate is higher than the other.
