The batting order bell 4 (specific winning mode) indicates that the correct answer bell, the incorrect answer bell C, the incorrect answer bell D, the incorrect answer bell G, and the incorrect answer bell H are won. The batting order bell 5 (specific winning mode) indicates that the correct answer bell, the incorrect answer bell A, the incorrect answer bell C, the incorrect answer bell E, and the incorrect answer bell G are won. Further, the batting order bell 6 (specific winning mode) indicates that the correct answer bell, the incorrect answer bell B, the incorrect answer bell D, the incorrect answer bell F, and the incorrect answer bell H are won. Thus, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, the correct answer bell (specific role) and the four types of incorrect answer bells win in the hit order bell 1 to the hit order bell 6, and the incorrect answer that wins in duplicate with the correct answer bell. The bell combination is different. The common bell indicates that the correct answer bell, the incorrect answer bell A to the incorrect answer bell H, and the watermelon are won in succession.

  In the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, normal replay, promotion replay, fall replay, control replay A, and control replay B are prepared as replays. The hit order replay 4 to the hit order replay 6 in C mean that a plurality of types of replays are associated with the same random number so that a plurality of types of replays are won in a single internal lottery. .

  Specifically, the batting order replay 1 to the batting order replay 3 will be described with reference to FIG. 4B. The batting order replay 1 (specific winning mode) indicates that the promoted replay and the fall replay are won in duplicate. Further, batting order replay 2 (specific winning mode) indicates that promotion replay, falling replay, and control replay A are won in duplicate. The batting order replay 3 (specific winning mode) indicates that the promoted replay, the fall replay, and the control replay B are won in duplicate. As described above, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, in the batting order replay 1 to the batting order replay 3, the promoted replay (specific role) wins the overlap with the fall replay, and whether or not these replays overlap with other replays and other The replay type is different.

  Also, the batting order replay 4 to the batting order replay 6 will be specifically described with reference to FIG. 4B. The batting order replay 4 (specific winning mode) indicates that the normal replay and the fall replay are won in duplicate. . The batting order replay 5 (specific winning mode) indicates that the normal replay, the fall replay, and the control replay A are won in duplicate. The batting order replay 6 (specific winning mode) indicates that the normal replay, the fall replay, and the control replay B are won in duplicate. As described above, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the normal replay (specific role) wins the fall replay in the batting order replay 4 to the batting order replay 6, and the presence or absence of duplication between these replays and other replays or other The replay type is different.

  In the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, a big bonus (BB) is prepared as a bonus. In the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D, the big bonus (BB) is set as a lottery object. In the table E and the internal lottery table F, the big bonus (BB) is excluded from the lottery targets.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the normal state, the first replay time state, the second replay time state, the third replay time state, the bonus establishment state, and the bonus state can be set as the gaming state, and a lottery table selection is possible. In the process, one of the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table F is selected as an internal lottery table to be used in the internal lottery according to the gaming state.

  In the random number determination process, a random number value (lottery random number) is acquired from the random number generator 110 for each game based on the start signal from the start switch 230, and the internal lottery table storage unit 191 of the main memory 190M for the acquired random value. It is determined whether or not the winning combination is won with reference to the internal lottery table stored in the table.

  In the lottery flag setting process, the lottery flag corresponding to the winning combination determined to be won based on the result of the random number determination process is changed from the non-winning state (first flag state, off state) to the winning state (second flag state). , ON state). In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when two or more types of winning combinations are won, a lottery flag corresponding to each of the two or more types of winning winning combinations is set to a winning state. The lottery flag setting information is stored in the lottery flag storage unit 192 of the main memory 190M.

  In addition, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, a lottery flag (carry-over possible flag) that can carry on the winning state for the next game until winning, and a non-winning state without carrying the winning state on the next game regardless of winning. A lottery flag (a carry-over impossible flag) that is reset to the winning state is prepared. The combination associated with the former carry-over possible flag is a big bonus (BB), and the small combination and replay are associated with the latter carry-over impossible flag. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery, the winning state of the big bonus (BB) lottery flag is carried over until the big bonus (BB) wins. At this time, the internal lottery means 120 performs an internal lottery to determine whether or not the small role and replay are successful even in a game in which the winning state of the big bonus (BB) lottery flag is carried over. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, in the game where the winning state of the big bonus (BB) lottery flag is carried over, when a small role or replay is won, the lottery flag of the big bonus (BB) already won And a lottery flag corresponding to two or more types of winning combinations including a small role won in the internal lottery and a replay lottery flag.

  The reel control means 130 starts rotation driving of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 by a stepping motor based on a start signal from a start switch 230 that is actuated by a game start operation to the start lever SL by the player. Press the stop buttons B1 to B3 (stop operation means) corresponding to the reels in which the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are normally rotating at a predetermined speed (about 80 rpm: a rotation speed of about 80 rotations per minute). The control which makes the stop operation by this effective is performed, and the control which stops the 1st reel R1-3rd reel R3 rotationally driven by the stepping motor in the aspect according to the setting state (result of an internal lottery) of a lottery flag I do.

  The reel controller 130 stops the reel from the stop switch 240 when the stop switch 240 is actuated when the player presses the stop buttons B1 to B3 in a state where the stop operation for the stop buttons B1 to B3 is enabled. Based on the signal, the supply of the drive pulse (motor drive signal) to the stepping motor of the reel unit 310 is stopped to perform control to stop each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3.

  That is, the reel controller 130 determines the stop position of the reel corresponding to the pressed button of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 each time the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed. The reel is stopped at the stop position. In the gaming machine of this embodiment, pressing the stop button B1 corresponds to an operation for stopping the first reel R1, and pressing the stop button B2 is an operation for stopping the second reel R2. Correspondingly, pressing the stop button B3 corresponds to an operation for stopping the third reel R3. That is, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, when the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is changed, the stopping order of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is changed.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the rotating reel corresponding to the pressed stop button among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is stopped within 190 ms from the time when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed. The stop position of each rotating reel is determined in the range of 0 to 4 frames (predetermined pull-in range) required from when the stop button is pressed until the reels stop. Then, the reel control unit 130 displays the symbol corresponding to the winning combination in the internal lottery on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating reel corresponding to the pressed stop button among the stop buttons B1 to B3. When the position is within the range of 0 frame to 4 frames (the pull-in range corresponding to 0 ms to 190 ms) with respect to the display position on the active line, the lottery flag corresponds to the winning combination set in the winning state Control is performed to stop the rotating reel corresponding to the pressed stop button so that the symbol is displayed at the display position on the active line.

  Specifically, the reel control means 130 obtains the stop control table stored in the stop control table storage means 193 of the main memory 190M and a process for obtaining the stop position of the rotating reel by logic calculation (logic calculation process). A process for determining the stop position of the rotating reel (table reference process) is performed with reference.

  First, in the logic calculation process, a range of 0 frame to 4 frames from the pressing detection position, which is the position of the reel at the time of operation of the stop switch 240 (when the pressing of the stop button is detected) according to the priority order data determined for each combination. Priorities are obtained for the stop position candidates for five frames existing in the frame. Then, the stop position candidate with the highest priority among the priorities of the respective stop position candidates is determined as the actual stop position. However, in logic calculation processing, the same priority may be obtained for a plurality of stop position candidates depending on the result of the internal lottery, the pressed detection position, etc., and there are a plurality of stop position candidates with the highest priority. In such a case, the actual stop position is determined by a table reference process described later.

  In particular, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, the priority order is determined in the order of “replay> small role> bonus”, and the lottery flags relating to two or more types of roles are set to the internal winning state in the logic operation processing. In this case, according to the priority order associated with each combination, the stop position including the symbols constituting the winning combination form with the lower priority for the candidate of the stop position including the symbols constituting the winning pattern with the higher priority combination The priority is determined so that the priority is higher than the candidates of.

  In the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the priority for the stop position candidates when a plurality of types of small roles are won in the internal lottery is determined according to a predetermined payout for the small roles, and the small amount of the payout is large. The priority is obtained for the stop position candidates for five frames so that the priority becomes higher as the stop position can win the winning combination. However, when a small combination with the same payout is won in duplicate, the priorities of the stop position candidates that can win each small combination are treated as the same.

  In this embodiment, when any one of the batting order bell 1 to the batting order bell 6 is won, the correct answer bell and the four types of incorrect answer bells are won, but the payouts of the respective small roles are the same. Therefore, each small role is treated with the same priority, and the symbols constituting the correct bell winning pattern are displayed on the active line, and the priority of the stop position candidates and the symbols constituting the incorrect bell winning pattern are displayed. Is the same priority as the priority of the candidate for the stop position for displaying on the effective line.

  In the logic calculation process, so-called pull-in process and kick-out process are performed as processes for obtaining candidate reel stop positions. The pull-in process is a process of obtaining reel stop position candidates so that a winning combination whose lottery flag is set to the winning state can be won as much as possible. On the other hand, the kicking process is a process of obtaining reel stop position candidates so that a combination whose lottery flag is set to a non-winning state cannot be won. In this way, the reel control means 130 can stop the symbol of the winning combination with the lottery flag set in the winning state while winning the symbol of the winning combination with the lottery flag set in the non-winning state. Logic calculation processing is performed to obtain a candidate stop position of the reel so as not to stop.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the reel unit 310 includes a reel index 315 made of a photosensor, and the reel control means 130 is based on a reference position signal detected by the reel index 315 every time the reel makes one revolution. Thus, the current rotation state of the reel can be monitored by obtaining the rotation angle (the number of rotation steps of the rotation axis of the stepping motor) from the reel reference position (the frame detected by the reel index). ing. That is, the reel control unit 130 can obtain the position of the reel when the stop switch 240 is operated by obtaining the rotation angle from the reference position of the reel.

  In the table reference process, when a plurality of stop position candidates having the highest priority are obtained as a result of the logic operation process, which position is set as the stop position is determined as a stop control table storage unit in the main memory 190M. This is determined with reference to the stop control table stored in 193.

  Here, in the stop control table, according to the setting state of the lottery flag, the actual position is detected from the press detection position that is the position of the reel at the time when the stop switch 240 is activated (when the stop button is pressed) and the actual press detection position. A correspondence relationship with the number of sliding frames indicating the amount of rotation to the stop position is set. In the stop control table, the correspondence relationship between the pressed detection position and the actual stop position may be set according to the setting state of the lottery flag.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the red 7 symbol “red 7”, the BAR symbol “BAR”, the replay are applied to the outer peripheral surfaces of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 constituting the reel unit 310. The symbol A “RPA”, the replay symbol B “RPB”, the bell symbol “BL”, the watermelon symbol A “WMA”, the watermelon symbol B “WMB”, and the cherry symbol “CH” are arranged, and in particular, the bell symbol “BL” Are arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less on the outer peripheral surfaces of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. For this reason, the bell symbol “BL” can be displayed on the effective line regardless of the pressed detection position.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the replay symbol A “PRA” or the replay symbol B “RPB” is the bell symbol “BL” with respect to the outer peripheral surfaces of the first reel R1 and the second reel R2. The replay symbol A “PRA” or the replay symbol B “RPB” is arranged with an interval of one frame from the bell symbol “BL” on the outer peripheral surface of the third reel R3. ing. For this reason, regardless of the pressed detection position, either the replay symbol A “RPA” or the replay symbol B “PRB” can be displayed on the active line.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the cherry symbol “CH” is arranged adjacent to the bell symbol “BL” with respect to the outer peripheral surface of the second reel R2. For this reason, the cherry symbol “CH” can be displayed on the active line regardless of the pressed detection position.

  In the gaming machine of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the watermelon symbol A “WMA” or the watermelon symbol B “WMB” is adjacent to the bell symbol “BL” with respect to the outer peripheral surface of the third reel R3. It is arranged. Therefore, regardless of the pressing detection position, either the watermelon symbol A “WMA” or the watermelon symbol B “WMB” can be displayed on the effective line.

  Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the BAR symbol “BAR” is arranged adjacent to the bell symbol “BL” on the outer peripheral surface of the third reel R3.

  In the stop control table that is referred to when any of the batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 6 is won in the internal lottery, the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed because the payouts of the small roles included in each batting order bell are the same. The priority order is set according to the order, and as shown in FIG. 6A, the correct hit order is set for each of the hit order bell 1 to the hit order bell 6, and the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 different from the correct answer hit order is not set. It is treated as correct answer order. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6 (A), two types of correct hit orders are set for each of the hit order bell 1 to the hit order bell 6, and the two correct answer hit orders are those of the stop button to be pressed first. The type is the same, and it can be confirmed that the button is pressed in the correct hit order regardless of the order of the stop buttons to be pressed after the second. For this reason, when any one of the batting order bell 1 to the batting order bell 6 is won, the reel control means 130 determines whether or not it is pressed in the correct hitting order according to the type of the stop button pressed first. In the present embodiment, when any one of the batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 6 is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, the correct answer bell is won as shown in FIG. 6 (B). When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect answering order, one of the four types of incorrect answer bells wins as shown in FIG. 6 (C) and as shown in FIG. 6 (D). The number of sliding symbols with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that the RT fluctuation blank is displayed without winning the small role.

  In the present embodiment, when the correct answer bell wins on the active line L1, as shown in FIG. 6B, the ineffective consisting of the upper stage of the first reel R1, the middle stage of the second reel R2, and the lower stage of the third reel R3. When the bell symbols “BL” are displayed together on the line (the line irrelevant to the determination of winning combination), and the incorrect answer bell is won on the active line L1, as shown in FIG. 6C, the first reels R1 to R1 The bell symbols “BL” are displayed together on the invalid line formed on the upper stage of each of the third reels R3.

  Further, in the internal lottery table that is referred to when any one of the batting order replay 1 to the batting order replay 3 is won in the internal lottery, the priority order is set according to the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3, as shown in FIG. In addition, the correct hit order is set for each of the hit order replay 1 to the hit order replay 3, and the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 different from the correct hit order is treated as an incorrect answer hit order. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7A, two types of correct hit orders are set for each of the hit order replay 1 to hit order replay 3, and these two types of correct hit orders are the stop buttons to be pressed first. The type is the same, and it can be confirmed that the button is pressed in the correct hit order regardless of the order of the stop buttons to be pressed after the second. For this reason, when any one of the hit order replay 1 to the hit order replay 3 is won, the reel control means 130 determines whether or not the correct hit order is pressed depending on the type of the stop button that is pressed first. In the present embodiment, when any one of batting order replay 1 to batting order replay 3 is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, as shown in FIG. Is given priority, and when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect answering order, as shown in FIG. 7C, the number of sliding symbols for the press detection position is set so that the winning of the fall replay is given priority. Yes.

When a combination of symbols indicating a normal replay winning pattern is displayed on the line and the fall replay is won on the effective line L1, as shown in FIG. 7C, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are arranged in the lower stage. A symbol combination indicating a normal replay winning pattern is displayed on the invalid line.

  Further, in the internal lottery table that is referred to when any of the batting order replay 4 to the batting order replay 6 is won in the internal lottery, the priority order is set according to the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3, as shown in FIG. In addition, the correct answer hit order is set for each of the hit order replay 4 to the hit order replay 6, and the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 different from the correct answer hit order is treated as an incorrect answer hit order. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8 (A), two types of correct hit orders are set for each of the hit order replay 4 to the hit order replay 6, and the two correct answer hit orders are the stop buttons to be pressed first. The type is the same, and it can be confirmed that the button is pressed in the correct hit order regardless of the order of the stop buttons to be pressed after the second. For this reason, when any one of the hit order replay 4 to the hit order replay 6 is won, the reel control means 130 determines whether or not the correct hit order is pressed depending on the type of the stop button that is pressed first. In the present embodiment, when any one of the batting order replay 4 to the batting order replay 6 is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, as shown in FIG. Is given priority, and when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect answering order, as shown in FIG. 8C, the number of sliding symbols for the press detection position is set so that the winning of the fall replay is given priority. Yes.

  The winning determination means 140 performs a process of determining whether or not a winning combination has been won based on the stop mode of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. Specifically, while referring to the winning determination table stored in the winning determination table storage means 194 of the main memory 190M, it is displayed on the active line when all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped. It is determined whether or not the symbol combination is in the form of a predetermined winning combination. Then, depending on the symbol combination displayed on the active line in a state where each reel is stopped, as shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, a big bonus (BB), normal replay, promotion replay, fall replay, control replay A, control A winning determination table is prepared so that it is possible to determine whether or not the replay B, the correct answer bell, the incorrect answer bell A to the incorrect answer bell H, the watermelon is awarded, and whether or not the RT fluctuation blank is displayed.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the winning process is executed based on the determination result of the winning determination means 140. As the winning process, for example, when a small role (correct answer bell, incorrect answer bell A to incorrect answer bell H, watermelon) wins, the payout control means 150 performs a medal payout control process, and replay (normal replay). , Promotion replay, fall replay, control replay A, control replay B) wins, the replay processing means 160 performs a replay process, and if a big bonus (BB), promotion replay, or fall replay wins or RT When the variation blank is displayed, the gaming state transition control means 170 performs a gaming state transition control process for transitioning the gaming state.

  The payout control means 150 performs payout control processing relating to the payout of medals according to the game result. Specifically, when a small role wins, the number of medals to be paid out in the game is determined based on a payout according to a predetermined number of predetermined inputs for each role, and medals corresponding to the determined number of payouts Is controlled to be delivered to the hopper unit 320 (dispensing device). However, in this embodiment, there is an upper limit (for example, 9) for the number of medals paid out in one game, and when the total number of payouts exceeds the upper limit, the number corresponding to the upper limit is set in the game. Determined as the number of medals to be paid out.

  The hopper unit 320 performs an operation of paying out medals of the payout number instructed by the payout control means 150. The hopper unit 320 is provided with a payout medal detection switch 325 that operates every time a medal is paid out. The payout control means 150 is actually operated from the hopper unit 320 based on an input signal from the payout medal detection switch 325. It is configured to be able to manage the number of medals paid out.

  When medal credits (internal storage) are permitted, instead of actually paying out medals by the hopper unit 320, the number of credits stored in a credit storage area (not shown) of the main memory 190M (not shown) A credit addition process for adding the number of payouts to the number of credited medals is performed to virtually pay out medals.

  When the replay is won, the replay processing means 160 performs a replay process (regame process) for setting the same preparation state as the previous game without requiring insertion of medals owned by the player for the next game. That is, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, when a replay is won, an automatic insertion is performed in which the same number of medals as the previous game are automatically inserted without using the player's own medals (including credit medals). Processing is performed, and the next game start operation for the start lever SL is waited in a state where the same effective line as the previous game is set.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the gaming state transition control means 170 shifts the gaming state among the normal state, the first replay time state, the second replay time state, the third replay time state, the bonus establishment state, and the bonus state. A game state transition control process is performed. As the game condition transition condition, one condition may be defined, or a plurality of conditions may be defined. In the case where a plurality of conditions are determined, the gaming state is determined based on the fact that one of the plurality of predetermined conditions is satisfied or all of the plurality of predetermined conditions are satisfied. It is possible to shift to another gaming state.

  The normal state is a game state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of game states, and a transition from the normal state to the first replay time state and the bonus establishment state is possible. Specifically, when the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed in the normal state, the state shifts to the first replay time state, and when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal state, the state shifts to the bonus establishment state. To do. In the normal state, among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table F shown in FIG. 3, the winning probability of replay is set to about 1 / 7.2, and the big bonus (BB) is set as the lottery target. An internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table A is performed.

  The first replay time state is a gaming state that transitions when the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed. From the first replay time state, the second replay time state, the third replay time state, and the bonus establishment Transition to the state is possible. Specifically, when the promoted replay wins in the first replay time state, the state shifts to the second replay time state, and when the fall replay wins in the first replay time state, the state shifts to the third replay time state. When the big bonus (BB) is won in the first replay time state, the state shifts to the bonus establishment state. In the first replay time state, among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table F shown in FIG. 3, the replay winning probability is set to about 1 / 1.5, and the big bonus (BB) is set as the lottery target. The internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table B is performed.

  The second replay time state is a gaming state that transitions when the promoted replay wins, and the second replay time state can transition to the first replay time state, the third replay time state, and the bonus establishment state. It has become. Specifically, when the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed in the second replay time state, the state shifts to the first replay time state, and when the fall replay wins in the second replay time state, the third state is displayed. When the state shifts to the replay time state and the big bonus (BB) is won in the second replay time state, the state shifts to the bonus establishment state. In the second replay time state, among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table F shown in FIG. 3, the winning probability of replay is set to about 1 / 1.3 and the big bonus (BB) is set as the lottery target. The internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table C is performed.

  The third replay time state is a gaming state that shifts when a fall replay wins, and the third replay time state can be shifted to the first replay time state and the bonus establishment state. Specifically, when the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed in the third replay time state, the state shifts to the first replay time state, and the big bonus (BB) is won in the third replay time state. Shifts to the bonus establishment state. In the third replay time state, among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table F shown in FIG. 3, the replay winning probability is set to about 1 / 7.3, and the big bonus (BB) is set as the lottery target. The internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table D is performed.

  The bonus establishment state is a gaming state that shifts when the big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery. In the bonus establishment state, an internal lottery table A to an internal lottery table F shown in FIG. 3 has the replay winning probability set to about 1 / 7.1 and the big bonus (BB) is excluded from the lottery target. An internal lottery with reference to the lottery table E is performed.

  In the bonus establishment state, the lottery flag corresponding to the big bonus (BB) is maintained in the winning state until the big bonus (BB) is won, and the symbol combination indicating the big bonus (BB) winning pattern is displayed on the active line. Then, the gaming state transition control means 170 shifts the gaming state from the bonus establishment state to the bonus state.

  The bonus state is a gaming state in which a transition is made when a symbol combination indicating a big bonus (BB) winning pattern is displayed on the active line in the bonus establishment state. In the bonus state, among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table F shown in FIG. 3, the big bonus (BB) and the replay are excluded from the targets of the internal lottery, and the winning probability of the small role is the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery. An internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table F set higher than the table E is performed. That is, in the bonus state, the game state is more advantageous to the player than the other game states in that the small role is won more frequently than the other game states.

  Further, in the bonus state, it is determined whether or not the end condition is satisfied based on the total number of medals paid out by the bonus game, and when medals exceeding the predetermined end payout number (for example, 300) are paid out. The gaming state transition control means 170 ends the bonus state and returns the gaming state to the normal state.

  The communication control means 175 controls the output of signals to the sub-board 20, the hall computer 410 (computer that centrally manages gaming machines installed in the game hall) and the data counter 420 (game hall) as external devices. It is individually connected to each installed gaming machine and performs control to output a signal to a device that displays information related to gaming history of the gaming machine). In the gaming machine of this embodiment, only unidirectional communication from the main board 10 to the sub board 20 is possible between the main board 10 and the sub board 20, and from the sub board 20 to the main board 10. Communication connection is established so that signals cannot be transmitted.

  First, when the internal lottery means 120 performs an internal lottery, the communication control means 175 notifies the sub board 20 of the result of the internal lottery by outputting an internal lottery result notification signal to the sub board 20. Further, when the bet button B0 is pressed to insert a medal, a game start operation is performed with respect to the start lever SL, or a stop operation is performed with respect to the stop buttons B1 to B3, the communication control unit 175 performs the sub board 20. By outputting an operation notification signal to the player, operations performed by the player such as the bet button B0 being pressed on the sub-board 20, the start lever SL being pressed, and the type of the stop button being pressed To be notified. Further, the communication control means 175 notifies the sub-board 20 of the current gaming state by outputting a gaming state notification signal to the sub-board 20. Thus, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, based on the internal lottery result notification signal, the operation notification signal, and the gaming state notification signal output from the main board 10, the effect control means 180 of the sub-board 20 results in the internal lottery, The display device 330 and the sound device 340 can be made to perform operations according to the player's operations and the current game state.

  In the gaming machine of this embodiment, the communication control means 175 determines in advance according to the batting order when the batting order (batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 6 and batting order replay 1 to batting order replay 6) is won in the internal lottery. Based on the fact that the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in accordance with the order of signal output, the output of a specific signal for notifying the hall computer 410 and the data counter 420 that the AT state is staying is started. . More specifically, the communication control means 175 refers to the batting order determination table stored in the batting order determination table storage means 195 of the main memory 190M and follows the signal output batting order when the batting order combination is won in the internal lottery. It is then determined whether or not the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed. In the batting order determination table, one of the two types of correct batting orders set for each batting order as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8 is set as the signal output batting order as shown in FIG. The control means 175, as shown in FIG. 13, is based on the combination of the stop button pressed first and the stop button pressed second among the stop buttons B1 to B3 when any batting order combination is won. It is determined whether or not the stop button has been pressed in accordance with the signal output batting order set in the batting order determination table. If it is determined that the stop button has been pressed in accordance with the signal output batting order, the stop button that has been pressed last is displayed. The output of the specific signal is started when the corresponding stop switch 240 is turned off. Further, the communication control means 175 determines whether or not the AT state has ended based on the change in the gaming state, and determines that the AT state has ended based on the fact that the gaming state has fallen to the normal state. End the output of the specific signal. If the stop button is pressed in the order of signal output while the specific signal is being output, the output of the specific signal is resumed after the output of the specific signal is once completed.

  The specific signal starts to be output when a medal corresponding to the specified insertion number is inserted in the next game in which the stop button is pressed according to the signal output order, or according to the signal output order. The output may be started in response to a game start operation for the start lever SL in the next game of the game in which the stop button is pressed.

  Next, the sub substrate 20 will be described. The sub board 20 is configured to include the effect control means 180 and the sub memory 190S.

  The effect control means 180 uses the display effect performed using the display device 330 (an example of the effect device) or the audio device 340 (an example of the effect device) based on the effect data stored in the effect data storage means 196. Control related to the sound production to be performed. For example, a lamp or LED is turned on or blinked according to the occurrence of a gaming event such as insertion of a medal, an operation on a bet button B0, a start lever SL, stop buttons B1 to B3, or a change in gaming state, By changing the content or outputting sound from the speaker, the game is excited or the execution control of the effect for assisting the game is performed.

  In particular, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the effect control means 180 has an effect state between a plurality of types of effect states including an assist time preparation state (AT preparation state) and an assist time state (AT state: specific game section). Control to change.

  More specifically, the effect control means 180 performs AT lottery (first effect lottery) based on the fact that the big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery. In the AT lottery, any of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is acquired, and the acquired random number value is compared with the AT lottery table stored in the effect lottery table storage unit 197 of the sub memory 190S. It is determined whether or not the AT lottery is won according to the comparison result. In the AT lottery table, as shown in FIG. 14, for each of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767, normal winning (for example, winning probability 1/64), special winning (for example, winning probability 1/512). ) Or lost, and the random value acquired in the AT lottery is associated with the normal winning or the special winning in the AT lottery table, it is determined that the AT lottery has been won. The AT lottery may be performed in response to winning of a combination other than the big bonus (BB) (for example, watermelon).

  Then, the effect control means 180 shifts the effect state to the AT preparation state based on the fact that either the normal winning or the special winning is obtained in the AT lottery, and the AT end determination counter 198 makes the result of the AT lottery. Set a value according to. In particular, in the present embodiment, the value set in the AT end determination counter 198 is different between the case where the AT lottery result is a normal winning and the case where it is a special winning, and the result of the AT lottery is a normal winning. In some cases, for example, “30” is set in the AT end determination counter 198 as a value corresponding to 30 games, and in the case where the result of the AT lottery is a special win, for example, 150 games are equivalent. As a value to be set, “150” is set in the AT end determination counter 198.

  In addition, when the production state is set to the AT ready state or the AT state, the production control means 180 notifies the correct batting order when the batting order combination (batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 6, batting order replay 1 to batting order replay 6) is won. Then, a control for causing the display device 330 and the sound device 340 to perform a winning assist effect for assisting the winning of a predetermined combination is performed. Various effects can be adopted as the winning assistance effect. For example, an effect image for informing the correct hitting order is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD, a lamp for informing the correct hitting order is turned on, or the correct hitting order is notified. Sound can be output from a speaker. For this reason, in this embodiment, when any one of batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 6 wins, winning of the correct answer bell is assisted by winning prize assist production, and when any of batting order replay 1 to batting order replay 3 wins The winning replay winning is assisted by a winning assisting effect, and when one of the batting order replay 4 to the batting order replay 6 is won, the winning of the normal replay is assisted by the winning assisting effect. In the present embodiment, when the gaming state stays in the normal state or the third replay time state, the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed to guide the gaming state to the first replay time state. Even if the production state is set to the AT preparation state or the AT state, the winning assistance effect is not performed when the batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 6 is won.

  In the present embodiment, the effect control unit 180 performs control to execute a winning assist effect according to the effect state by referring to the winning assist effect table stored in the effect data storage unit 196 of the sub memory 190S. . Specifically, when the production state is the AT preparation state, if a batting order combination is won in the internal lottery, as shown in FIG. 15, a signal output is output from two types of correct batting orders associated with each batting order combination. When the display device 330 or the audio device 340 is caused to execute a winning assistance effect that notifies the first correct answer order corresponding to the batting order, and the production state is the AT state, when the winning order is won in the internal lottery, it is shown in FIG. In this way, control is performed to cause the display device 330 and the audio device 340 to execute a prize winning effect for notifying the second correct hit order different from the signal output hit order among the two types of correct hit orders associated with each of the hitting orders.

  Further, when the production state is the AT preparation state, the production control unit 180 shifts the production state to the AT state based on the fact that the stop buttons B1 to B3 are performed in the first correct answer order, and enters the AT state. Based on the transition, the decrement update for subtracting the value of the AT end determination counter 198 by a predetermined value is started. Specifically, every time a game in the AT state is performed, a value corresponding to the number of games for one game (for example, 1) from the value of the AT end determination counter 198 is triggered by a game start operation on the start lever SL. Decrement update to be subtracted. When the value of the AT end determination counter 198 reaches a predetermined value (for example, 0), the effect control means 180 performs control to end the AT state. In the present embodiment, when the big bonus (BB) is won, it is determined that the update interruption condition of the AT end determination counter 198 is satisfied, and in this case, the effect state is shifted to the AT preparation state, The decrement update of the value of the AT end determination counter 198 is interrupted, and after the bonus state ends, the decrement update of the AT end determination counter 198 is resumed when the production state returns to the AT state, and the game for the undigested game is performed. Make it. In this case, even if the batting order combination is won in the AT preparation state after the bonus state is ended, the second correct answer batting order is notified and the AT state is resumed without outputting the specific signal. When the batting order combination is won in the preparation state, the first correct answer batting order is notified to start the output of the specific signal, and the AT state may be resumed. When the big bonus (BB) is won, the AT state is ended without shifting the production state to the AT ready state, and the stored value of the AT end determination counter 198 is initialized by the big bonus (BB) winning. You may make it reset to a value (for example, 0).

  Further, the effect control means 180 performs a continuous lottery (second effect lottery) based on the value of the AT end determination counter 198 reaching a predetermined value. In the continuous lottery, any one of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is acquired, and the acquired random number value is compared with the continuous lottery table stored in the effect lottery table storage unit 197 of the sub memory 190S. It is determined whether or not the continuous lottery is won according to the comparison result. In the continuous lottery table, as shown in FIG. 14, for each of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767, normal winning (for example, winning probability 1/2) and special winning (for example, winning probability 1/512). ) Or lost, and the random value acquired in the continuous lottery is associated with the normal winning or the special winning in the continuous lottery table, it is determined that the continuous lottery is won. Even when the continuous lottery is performed, different values are set in the AT end determination counter 198 between the case of the normal winning and the case of the special winning, as in the case of the AT lottery.

  The effect control means 180 ends the AT state when the value of the AT end determination counter 198 reaches a predetermined value (for example, 0), but changes the effect state to the AT ready state based on winning the continuous lottery. Control to return to. That is, in this embodiment, if the continuous lottery is won even if the AT state is once completed, the AT preparation state is restored, so that the winning assistance effect that notifies the first correct batting order when the batting order is won in the AT preparation state. If the player presses the stop buttons B1 to B3 in accordance with the winning assistance effect, the effect state can be shifted to the AT state again.

  Note that the functions of this embodiment can be virtually realized by a computer system (including a game system). In these systems, by downloading a program that causes a computer to function as the main board 10 or the sub board 20 of the present embodiment from an information storage medium such as a CD or a DVD or a Web server on the Internet via the network, the function is achieved. Can be realized. In the above computer system, the medal insertion switch 210, the bet switch 220, the start switch 230, the stop switch 240 and the like virtually function their functions with respect to operation means such as a keyboard, a pointing device (mouse, etc.), or a controller. This can be realized by assigning. In the above computer system, the reel unit 310, the hopper unit 320, and the like are not indispensable constituent elements. These device units virtually control their functions by controlling images displayed on the display (display device 330). Can be realized.

2. Control method of this embodiment In this embodiment, AT lottery can be performed when the big bonus (BB) is won, and the AT state can be shifted to the AT state via the AT preparation state. However, it is possible to return to the AT state again through the AT preparation state by performing a continuous lottery. Hereinafter, the processing performed on the sub-substrate 20 will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 16 to 19.

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing a process related to AT lottery performed by the sub-board 20 when the big bonus (BB) is won.

  First, when it is notified that the big bonus (BB) is won based on the internal lottery notification signal output from the main board 10 (Y in step S100), AT lottery is performed (step S101). In the AT lottery, any of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is acquired and the acquired random number value is associated with either the normal winning or the special winning with reference to the AT lottery table shown in FIG. It is determined whether it is a thing.

  If the result of the AT lottery is either a normal winning or a special winning, it is determined that the AT lottery is won (Y in step S102), the production state is shifted to the AT ready state, and the result of the AT lottery is obtained. The corresponding value is set in the AT end determination counter 198 (step S103). In this embodiment, when the result of the AT lottery is a normal winning, a value “30” corresponding to the number of games for 30 times is set in the AT end determination counter 198, and the result of the AT lottery is a special winning. In this case, a value “150” corresponding to the number of games for 150 times is set in the AT end determination counter 198.

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing a process related to a winning assistance effect performed by the sub-board 20 when the batting order bell is won.

  First, when it is notified that one of batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 6 is won based on the internal lottery result notification signal output from main board 10 (Y in step S200), the current gaming state is the first replay. It is checked whether the user is staying in the time state (first RT state) or the second replay time state (second RT state) (step S201).

  At this time, when the user does not stay in the first replay time state or the second replay time state (N in step S201), there is a possibility that the user stays in the normal state or the third replay time state. The process ends without performing a winning assist effect so as to display the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank and to guide the gaming state to the first replay time state. On the other hand, when staying in either the first replay time state or the second replay time state (Y in step S201), the mode varies depending on whether the current performance state is the AT preparation state or the AT state. Execute the prize winning assist.

  Specifically, when the production state is the AT ready state (Y in step S202), the first correct hit order corresponding to the signal output hit order is notified from the two types of correct hit orders corresponding to the winning hit order bell. A winning assist effect is executed (step S203). If the player determines that the stop buttons B1 to B3 have been pressed in the first correct hit order notified by the winning assistance effect (Y in step S204), the effect state is shifted to the AT state (step S205). In the present embodiment, the decrement update of the value of the AT end determination counter 198 set in step S103 of FIG. 16 is permitted based on the transition of the effect state to the AT state. On the other hand, if the performance state is the AT state (Y in step S206), a winning assistance effect for notifying the second correct answer hit order different from the signal output hit order among the two types of correct answer hit orders corresponding to the winning hit order bell is displayed. Execute (Step S207).

  FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing a process related to a winning assistance effect performed by the sub-board 20 when winning the batting order replay.

  First, when it is notified that any one of batting order replay 1 to batting order replay 6 is won based on the internal lottery result notification signal output from main board 10 (Y in step S300), the current production state is the AT preparation state. Alternatively, a winning assistance effect of a different mode is executed depending on which of the AT states.

  Specifically, when the production state is the AT ready state (Y in step S301), the first correct hit order corresponding to the signal output hit order is notified from the two types of correct hit orders corresponding to the selected hit order replay. A winning assistance effect is executed (step S302). If the player determines that the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the order of the first correct hits notified by the winning assistance effect (Y in step S303), the effect state is shifted to the AT state (step S304). In the present embodiment, the decrement update of the value of the AT end determination counter 198 set in step S103 of FIG. 16 is permitted based on the transition of the effect state to the AT state. On the other hand, if the performance state is the AT state (Y in step S304), a winning assistance effect for notifying the second correct hit order different from the signal output hit order among the two types of correct hit orders corresponding to the selected hit order replay is displayed. Execute (Step S305).

  FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing the processing contents of the sub-board 20 regarding the update of the AT end determination counter 198 when the effect state is staying in the AT state.

  First, when it is notified that a game start operation has been performed on the start lever SL based on an operation notification signal output from the main board 10 (step S400), the number of games for one game is determined from the value of the AT end determination counter 198. Decrement update is performed by subtracting the corresponding value “1” (step S401). When the value of the AT end determination counter 198 reaches “0” which is a predetermined value (Y in Step S402), a continuous lottery is performed (Step S403). In the continuous lottery, any of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is acquired, and the acquired random number value is associated with either the normal winning or the special winning with reference to the continuous lottery table shown in FIG. It is determined whether it is a thing.

  If the result of the continuous lottery is either the normal winning or the special winning, it is determined that the continuous lottery is won (Y in step S404), the production state is shifted to the AT preparation state, and the result of the continuous lottery is obtained. The corresponding value is set in the AT end determination counter 198 (step S406). In the present embodiment, when the result of the continuous lottery is a normal winning, a value “30” corresponding to the number of games for 30 times is set in the AT end determination counter 198, and the result of the continuous lottery is a special winning. In this case, a value “150” corresponding to the number of games for 150 times is set in the AT end determination counter 198. On the other hand, when the result of the continuous lottery is neither the normal winning nor the special winning (in the case of losing) (N in Step S404), the AT state is terminated without shifting to the AT preparation state (Step S406). ).

  As described above, in the present embodiment, whether or not to start the AT state is determined by the sub board 20, and the short direction communication from the main board 10 to the sub board 20 is performed between the main board 10 and the sub board 20. Therefore, the main board 10 cannot grasp whether or not the AT state is started. Therefore, in the present embodiment, a plurality of types of correct answer orders are provided for the batting order (batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 6, batting order replay 1 to batting order replay 6), and one of them is treated as a signal output batting order, An external device (hall computer 410) connected to the gaming machine that the board 10 stays in the AT state based on the stop button B1 to B3 being pressed in accordance with the signal output batting order at the time of winning the batting order. And a method of outputting a specific signal to be notified to the data counter 420).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 20, when a batting order (batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 6, batting order replay 1 to batting order replay 6) is won (Y in step S500), stop buttons B1 to B1 are arranged along the signal output batting order. It is determined whether or not B3 has been pressed (step S501). In the present embodiment, the signal output batting order set in the batting order determination table shown in FIG. 13 based on the combination of the stop button pressed first and the stop button pressed second among the stop buttons B1 to B3. It is determined whether or not the stop button has been pressed along the line. If it is determined that the stop button has been pressed in accordance with the signal output stroke order (Y in step S501), if the specific signal is not being output (N in step S502), the last pressed stop button is displayed. The output of the specific signal is started when the corresponding stop switch 240 is turned off (step S503). On the other hand, although the stop button was pressed in accordance with the signal output stroke order, the game state does not fall to the normal state because the rendering state has shifted to the AT preparation state by winning the continuous lottery at the end of the AT state, If the specific signal is being output (Y in step S501, Y in step S502), the output of the specific signal is resumed (step S503) after the output of the specific signal is terminated (step S504). . If the winning assistance effect is no longer performed due to the end of the AT state, based on the fact that the gaming state has fallen to the normal state (Y in step S503), it is determined that the AT state has ended, and a specific signal is output. Is finished (step S504).

  In the present embodiment described above, when any one of the batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 6 is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pushed along the correct answer batting order, the correct bell is always won and the incorrect answer batting order is obtained. When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed along the line, winning of the correct bell is avoided. In addition, when any one of batting order replay 1 to batting order replay 3 is won, the promotion replay always wins when stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed along the correct batting order, and stop buttons B1 to 1 are arranged along the incorrect batting order. When B3 is pressed, a prize for promotion replay is avoided. In addition, when any one of the batting order replay 4 to the batting order replay 6 is won, the normal replay always wins when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed along the correct batting order, and the stop buttons B1 to B1 follow the incorrect batting order. When B3 is pressed, a normal replay winning is avoided. Further, in the present embodiment, the sub board 20 notifies the first correct answer order corresponding to the signal output order based on the fact that any of the batting orders is won in the production state AT ready state, and the first correct answer The AT state is started based on the stop buttons B1 to B3 being pressed in the hitting order. In the present embodiment, after the AT state is started, the sub-board 20 notifies the second correct answer order different from the signal output order based on the fact that one of the order of winning orders is won. The type of correct answer order to be notified is different between the state and the AT state. In the present embodiment, when one of the batting orders is won, the main board 10 is in the AT state based on the fact that the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed along the signal output batting order (= first correct batting order). The output of a specific signal for notifying that the user is staying at is started. That is, in the present embodiment, when the AT state is started in the sub-board 20, the main board 10 can start outputting a specific signal without affecting the player's degree of advantage. As described above, in the present embodiment, the AT state is started on the main board 10 through the stop operation on the stop buttons B1 to B3 by the player by controlling the type of correct hit order notified to the player by the sub board 20. Can be indirectly notified.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the reels that should be stopped first among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are the same in the two types of correct answer order corresponding to each of the striking orders, and the second and subsequent orders are the same. If the order of the reels to be stopped is different and one of the batting orders is elected, whether or not the stop button is pressed according to the correct hit order based on the type of the stop button pressed first Based on the combination of the stop button pressed first and the stop button pressed second, it is determined whether or not the stop button is pressed according to the signal output order. Therefore, the determination timing of the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 related to the control for stopping the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 and the determination timing of the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 related to the output of the specific signal are separated. Therefore, control and processing related to the progress of the game can be executed without delay.

  In this embodiment, when the performance state stays in the AT state, the value of the AT end determination counter 198 is decremented so as to approach a predetermined value, and the value of the AT end determination counter 198 reaches the predetermined value. The AT state is terminated based on the result, and when one of the batting order combination is won, the AT is terminated when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed along the first correct batting order corresponding to the signal output batting order. Update of the judgment counter 198 is started. Therefore, the update of the AT end determination counter 198 for determining the end of the AT state in the sub-board 20 can be started in conjunction with the output of the specific signal by the main board 10.

3. Modifications The present invention is not limited to those described in the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made. Modifications will be introduced below. Note that the above-described embodiment and various methods described below as modified examples can be appropriately combined and employed as a control method for realizing the present invention.

3-1. Modification 1
In the above embodiment, in the case where any one of batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 6 is won, the correct bell is surely won in the correct answer hit order, and the case where the correct answer bell is avoided in the incorrect answer hit order is taken as an example As explained above, if any one of the batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 6 is elected, the winning of the role other than the correct answer bell is avoided in either case of the correct answer hit order or the incorrect answer hit order, and the correct answer bell wins. In the correct hit order, the correct bell may win on more active lines than the incorrect answer hit order, so that the correct answer hit order may acquire more medals than the incorrect answer hit order.

  In this example, as shown in FIG. 21, when valid medals are inserted, the four valid lines L1 to L4 are activated. Specifically, the effective line L1 is set by the middle stage of each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, and the effective line is set by the upper stage of the first reel R1, the middle stage of the second reel R2, and the lower stage of the third reel R3. L2 is set, and the effective line L3 is set by the upper stage of each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. The effective line L4 is set by the lower stage of the first reel R1, the middle stage of the second reel R2, and the upper stage of the third reel R3. Is set. The middle stage of the second reel R2 is a display position on three effective lines, and the upper stage of the second reel R2 is a display position on one effective line. In this example, when a small combination is won in multiple active lines, the number of medals to be paid out is determined based on the payout of the small combination that has been won for each effective line, and the total is determined by the number of medals in the game. It is determined as the number of payouts.

  In this example, as shown in FIG. 22, a cherry symbol “CH” is displayed at the display position on the effective line of the second reel R2, thereby confirming the winning of the correct bell. It should be noted that “ANY” in the correct bell winning form in FIG. 22 indicates that any symbol may be used. Also, as shown in FIG. 22, the payout for the correct answer bell is set to three, and the payout for each incorrect answer bell is set to one. In other words, in this example, if the correct answer bell and the incorrect answer bell are selected in duplicate because the correct bell payout is higher than the incorrect answer payout, the priority order for winning the correct bell is incorrect. The dividend is set so as to be higher than the priority order regarding the winning of the bell.

  Then, as in the above embodiment, when the hitting bell 1 to the hitting bell 6 is set as the winning mode in which the correct answer bell (specific role) and the four types of incorrect answer bells are won, the internal order lottery is set to the hitting bell 1 to the hitting bell. If any one of 6 is won, the correct bell payout is higher than the incorrect bell payout. Therefore, the correct bell win is given priority regardless of how the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed. The display position of the cherry symbol “CH” which is the symbol constituting the winning form of the correct bell is determined by the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3. Then, as shown in FIG. 23A, a correct hit order is set for each of the hit order bell 1 to the hit order bell 6, and a pressing order different from the correct answer hit order is treated as an incorrect answer hit order. In this example, when any one of the batting order bell 1 to the batting order bell 6 is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, as shown in FIG. 23 (B), the second reel R2 The cherry symbol “CH” is displayed in the middle, the correct bells are won on three active lines L1, L2, and L4 and 9 medals are paid out, and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the order of incorrect answering. Then, as shown in FIG. 23 (C), the cherry symbol “CH” is displayed on the upper stage of the second reel R2, and the correct bell wins alone in one effective line L3, so that only three medals are displayed. The stop position of the rotating reel is determined so that it cannot be acquired. In this example, the correct bell payout is higher than the incorrect bell payout, but the incorrect bell payout may be equal to or less than the correct bell payout.

  Further, in this example, when the correct bells are repeatedly won on the three active lines L1, L2, and L4, RT variation blanks are shown on the invalid lines formed at the lower stages of the first reel R1 and the third reel R3, respectively. When the symbol combination “BL / BL / BL” is displayed and the correct bell is awarded on one effective line L3, the RT variation blank is displayed on the effective line L1 including the middle stages of the first reel R1 and the third reel R3. The symbol combination “BL / BL / BL” is displayed.

  Also in the modified examples shown in FIGS. 21 to 23, since two types of correct answer order are provided for each of the hit order bell 1 to the hit order bell 6 as in the above embodiment, the main board 10 has two types of correct answers. One of the batting orders is treated as a signal output batting order, and the sub-board 20 notifies the first correct batting order corresponding to the signal output batting order out of the two types of correct batting orders when the production state is the AT ready state. When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed along the correct hit order, the effect state is shifted to the AT state, and when the effect state shifts to the AT state, the second correct answer hit order different from the signal output hit order is notified and the sub-board 20 Thus, the main board 10 can indirectly recognize that the AT state has been started while controlling the transition time to the AT state.

3-2. Modification 2
In the above embodiment, the case of notifying the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 when assisting the winning of the small role has been described, but the symbol combination to be aimed by the player when assisting the winning of the small role is notified. By doing so, a winning assistance effect may be performed.

  For example, the symbol arrangement of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 shown in FIG. 5 can be modified as shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 24, the BAR symbol “BAR” arranged on the eighth of each reel is replaced with the white 7 symbol “White 7”, and the BAR symbol arranged on the third of each reel. “BAR” is replaced with a black 7 symbol “black 7”.

  In this example, as shown in FIG. 25, special small roles 1 (specific roles), special small roles 2 (specific roles), and special small numbers are set as small combinations in which symbol combinations indicating two types of winning patterns are set. A role 3 (specific role) is set. As shown in FIG. 24, the red 7 symbol “red 7” and the white 7 symbol “white 7” are arranged at intervals of 6 frames or more on the outer peripheral surface of each reel. ~ If any of the special small roles 3 wins, it will not be possible to win unless the stop button is pressed aiming for the symbols that make up the winning form of the selected special small role at an appropriate timing. Yes. Also in this example, if the selected special small combination cannot be won at the time of winning the special small combination, a symbol combination (not shown) indicating a predetermined RT variation blank is displayed.

  In this example, as shown in FIG. 26, four types of internal lottery tables A to D are stored in the internal lottery table storage unit 191 of the main memory 190M. In this example, as shown in FIG. 27, the normal state, the replay time state, the bonus establishment state, and the bonus state can be set as the gaming state, and the internal state referred to in the internal lottery according to the gaming state. A lottery table is selected.

  More specifically, in the normal state, the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D shown in FIG. 26 is referred to the internal lottery table A in which the winning probability of replay is set to about 1 / 7.3. When the promotion replay wins in the state, the gaming state shifts to the replay time state, and when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal state, the gaming state shifts to the bonus establishment state.

  Further, in the replay time state, the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D shown in FIG. 26 is referred to the internal lottery table B in which the winning probability of replay is set to about 1 / 1.3, and falls in the replay time state. When the replay is won, the gaming state shifts to the normal state, and when the big bonus (BB) is won in the replay time state, the gaming state shifts to the bonus establishment state.

  In the bonus establishment state, the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D shown in FIG. 26 has the replay winning probability set to about 1 / 7.1, and the big bonus (BB) is excluded from the lottery target. When the lottery table C is referred to and the big bonus (BB) is won in the bonus establishment state, the gaming state shifts to the bonus state.

  In the bonus state, among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table D shown in FIG. 26, the replay and the big bonus (BB) are excluded from the lottery object, and the internal lottery in which the winning probability of the small role is higher than the other internal lottery tables. When the table D is referenced and medals exceeding the predetermined number of payouts (for example, 300) predetermined in the bonus state are paid out, the gaming state returns to the normal state.

  In this example, when the batting order combination (batting order replay 1 to batting order replay 6) is won in the internal lottery, the communication control means 175 follows the signal output batting order determined in advance according to the batting order combination. The point that the output of the specific signal for notifying the hall computer 410 or the data counter 420 that the AT state is stayed based on the pressing of B3 is started is the same as in the above embodiment. Even if one of special small roles 1 to 3 is elected in the internal lottery, the hall is based on the fact that the symbol combination indicating the signal output output determined in advance according to the special small role is displayed. Output of a specific signal for notifying the computer 410 and the data counter 420 that the computer is staying in the AT state is started. Specifically, the communication control unit 175 refers to the signal output output determination table stored in the main memory 190M when the special small combination is won in the internal lottery, and the symbol combination indicating the signal output output It is determined whether or not is displayed on the active line. In the signal output output determination table, as shown in FIG. 25, one type of symbol combinations indicating the two types of winning combinations set for each special small role is a signal output output as shown in FIG. The signal output output judgment table shown in FIG. 28 is set based on the symbol combination displayed on the effective line when any special small combination is won. It is determined whether or not the symbol combination set to is displayed on the active line, and the output of the specific signal is started based on the symbol combination indicating the signal output output being displayed.

  Moreover, in this example, when the production control means 180 is set to the AT preparation state or the AT state and the batting order combination (batting order replay 1 to batting order replay 6) is won, the same as in the above embodiment. In this case, when the special small role 1 to special small role 3 are elected when the production state is set to the AT ready state or the AT state, the symbol combination to be aimed by the player is notified. Then, a control for causing the display device 330 and the sound device 340 to execute a winning assist effect for assisting the winning of the special small role is performed. A variety of effects can be adopted as the prize-winning effects for assisting the winning of the special small role. For example, an effect image notifying the symbol combination that the player should aim for can be displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD, or the player can A lamp for notifying a symbol combination to be aimed at can be turned on, or a sound for notifying a symbol combination to be aimed by a player can be output from a speaker.

  In the present embodiment, the prize control effect table stored in the effect data storage means 196 of the sub memory 190S is also obtained when the effect control means 180 wins the special bonus 1 to 3 in the internal lottery. By referring to, a control for executing a winning assist effect according to the effect state is performed. Specifically, when the special state role is won in the internal lottery when the production state is the AT ready state, as shown in FIG. 29, two types of winnings associated with each special small role are obtained. If the display device 330 or the sound device 340 is caused to execute a winning assist effect that informs the first symbol combination corresponding to the signal output of the symbol combinations indicating the form, and the effect state is the AT state, an internal lottery is performed. When one of the special small roles is won, as shown in FIG. 29, the second symbol combination different from the signal output item is selected from the symbol combinations indicating the two types of winning combinations associated with the special small roles. Control is performed to cause the display device 330 and the audio device 340 to execute the winning assistance effect to be notified.

  Then, when the production state is the AT preparation state, the production control means 180 shifts the production state to the AT state based on the fact that the first symbol combination indicating the special bonus winning form is displayed on the active line. Then, based on the transition to the AT state, the decrement update for subtracting the value of the AT end determination counter 198 by a certain value is started.

  In this example, when the special small combination is won in the internal lottery, the sub-board 20 executes processing according to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  First, when it is notified that one of the special small roles 1 to 3 is won based on the internal lottery result notification signal output from the main board 10 (Y in step S600), the current effect state is AT. Depending on whether the state is the preparation state or the AT state, the winning assistance effect in a different mode is executed.

  Specifically, when the performance state is the AT ready state (Y in step S601), the second corresponding to the signal output output is selected from the symbol combinations indicating the two types of winning patterns corresponding to the selected special small role. A winning assistance effect for notifying one symbol combination is executed (step S602). When the player determines that the first symbol combination is displayed on the active line by pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3 aiming at the first symbol combination in accordance with the winning assist effect (Y in step S603), the effect state is changed. The state is shifted to the AT state (step S604). In this example as well, the decrement update of the value of the AT end determination counter 198 is permitted based on the transition of the effect state to the AT state. On the other hand, if the performance state is the AT state (Y in step S605), a second symbol combination different from the signal output item is selected from the symbol combinations indicating the two types of winning patterns corresponding to the selected special small role. A winning assistance effect to be notified is executed (step S606).

  Thus, also in this example, whether or not to start the AT state is determined by the sub board 20, and only the short direction communication from the main board 10 to the sub board 20 is performed between the main board 10 and the sub board 20. Since it is possible, the main board 10 cannot grasp whether or not the AT state is started. Therefore, in the present embodiment, a symbol combination indicating a plurality of types of winning combinations is assigned to each of the special small roles 1 to 3, and one of them is treated as a signal output item, and the main board 10 The external device connected to the gaming machine (such as the hall computer 410 or the A method of outputting a specific signal to be notified to the data counter 420) is adopted.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 31, when any one of special bonus 1 to special bonus 3 is won (Y in step S700), whether or not the symbol combination indicating the signal output output is displayed on the active line. Is determined (step S701). In this example, based on the symbol combination displayed on the effective line, it is determined whether or not the symbol combination set in the signal output output determination table shown in FIG. 28 is displayed. If it is determined that the symbol combination indicating the signal output output is displayed on the active line (Y in step S701), if the specific signal is not being output (N in step S702), the signal output output is determined. When the message is displayed, the output of the specific signal is started (step S703). On the other hand, the symbol combination indicating the signal output is displayed on the active line, but the game state is changed to the normal state because the winning lottery at the end of the AT state is won and the effect state is shifted to the AT preparation state. When the specific signal is output without falling (Y in step S701, Y in step S702), the output of the specific signal is resumed after the output of the specific signal is ended (step S704). (Step S703). Then, when the winning assistance effect is not performed due to the end of the AT state, based on the fact that the gaming state has fallen to the normal state (Y in step S703), it is determined that the AT state has ended, and a specific signal is output. Is finished (step S704).

  Also in the modified example described above, the output of the specific signal can be started on the main board 10 without affecting the advantageous degree of the player when the sub board 20 starts the AT state. For this reason, it is indirectly determined that the AT state is started on the main board 10 through the stop operation on the stop buttons B1 to B3 by the player by controlling the type of symbol combination notified to the player by the sub board 20. Can be notified.

  In this modification, it is determined whether or not the main board 10 starts outputting a specific signal based on the symbol combination displayed on the effective line. The output of the specific signal may be started when the position is a pressing detection position (timing of the player's stop operation) where the symbol combination indicating can be displayed.

3-3. Modification 3
In the second modification, a case has been described in which a symbol combination indicating two types of winning patterns is assigned to each special small role, and one of them is set as a symbol combination indicating a signal output output. Make a special winning combination of different types and select one of them as a special winning role related to the output of a specific signal, and change the type of the special winning role to be notified according to the stage. Also good.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 32, special small roles 1 to 6 having different symbol combinations indicating winning patterns are set, and a red 7 pattern “red 7” and white that constitute the winning shapes of these special small roles are set. Since the 7 symbol “white 7” cannot be drawn on the active line at the same time as described in the modified example 2, when the special small roles 1 to 6 are selected, an appropriate value corresponding to the selected special small role is selected. The prize cannot be achieved unless the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed at the timing. Also in this example, if the selected special small combination cannot be won at the time of winning the special small combination, a symbol combination (not shown) indicating a predetermined RT variation blank is displayed.

  In this example, as shown in FIG. 33, special small role 1 (first specific role) and special small role 2 (second specific role) are won in duplicate, and special small role 3 (first specific role). And the special small role 4 (second specific role) is won in duplicate, and the special small role 5 (first specific role) and the special small role 6 (second specific role) are won in duplicate. .

  In this example, when the communication control means 175 wins multiple types of special small roles in the internal lottery, the hall computer 410 or the data counter is selected based on the fact that a predetermined signal output combination is won. Output of a specific signal for notifying 420 that the vehicle is staying in the AT state is started. Specifically, the communication control means 175 refers to the signal output combination determination table stored in the main memory 190M when a plurality of types of special small combinations are won in the internal lottery. It is determined whether or not has won a prize. In the signal output combination determination table, as shown in FIG. 34, the signal output combination is set as shown in FIG. 34 according to the winning mode of the special combination, and the communication control means 175 has a plurality of types of special combinations. If the signal output combination set in the signal output combination determination table shown in FIG. 34 has won, it is determined whether or not the signal output combination has won and the output of the specific signal is performed. Start.

  Further, in this example, when the production control unit 180 is set to the AT ready state or the AT state, if a plurality of types of special small roles are won, the special small role that the player should aim for is selected. A control for causing the display device 330 and the sound device 340 to perform a winning assist effect for notifying and assisting the winning of the special small role is performed. A variety of effects can be adopted as the winning assistance effect for assisting the winning of the special small role. For example, an effect image for notifying the special small role that the player should aim at is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD, or the player It is possible to turn on a lamp for notifying a special small role to be aimed at or to output a sound for notifying a special small role to be aimed by a player from a speaker.

  In this embodiment, when the effect control means 180 wins multiple types of special small roles in the internal lottery, refer to the winning auxiliary effect effect table stored in the effect data storage means 196 of the sub memory 190S. By doing so, control which performs the prize-winning auxiliary effect according to the production state is performed. Specifically, when the production state is the AT preparation state and a plurality of types of special small roles are won in the internal lottery, as shown in FIG. 35, the first notification target role corresponding to the signal output role is obtained. When the display device 330 or the audio device 340 executes the winning assistance effect for informing the player and the effect state is the AT state, when multiple types of special small roles are won in the internal lottery, as shown in FIG. In addition, a control for causing the display device 330 and the audio device 340 to perform a winning assist effect that notifies the second notification target combination different from the signal output combination is performed.

  Then, when the production state is the AT preparation state, the production control means 180 shifts the production state to the AT state based on the winning of the first notification target combination, and based on the transition to the AT state, the AT The decrement update is started to subtract the value of the end determination counter 198 by a certain value.

  In this example, when a plurality of types of special small roles are won in the internal lottery, the sub-board 20 executes processing according to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  First, when it is notified based on the internal lottery result notification signal output from the main board 10 that multiple types of special small roles have been won (Y in step S800), the current production state is the AT ready state or A different winning assistance effect is executed depending on which of the AT states.

  Specifically, when the performance state is the AT preparation state (Y in step S801), a winning assistance effect for notifying the first notification target role corresponding to the signal output role of the two selected special small roles. Is executed (step S802). When the player determines that the first notification target combination has won a prize by depressing the stop buttons B1 to B3 aiming at the first notification target combination according to the winning assistance effect (Y in step S803), the effect state is set to the AT state. (Step S804). In this example as well, the decrement update of the value of the AT end determination counter 198 is permitted based on the transition of the effect state to the AT state. On the other hand, if the effect state is the AT state (Y in step S805), a winning assist effect for informing a second notification target combination different from the signal output combination of the two selected special small combinations is executed ( Step S606).

  Thus, also in this example, whether or not to start the AT state is determined by the sub board 20, and only the short direction communication from the main board 10 to the sub board 20 is performed between the main board 10 and the sub board 20. Since it is possible, the main board 10 cannot grasp whether or not the AT state is started. Therefore, in the present embodiment, a plurality of types of special small roles are elected redundantly, one of them is treated as a signal output role, and the main board 10 outputs a signal output role when multiple types of special small roles are won. Adopts a method of outputting a start signal for notifying an external device (the hall computer 410 or the data counter 420) connected to the gaming machine that the AT state has started based on the winning of the game.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 37, if a plurality of types of special small roles are won (Y in step S900), whether the signal output combination set in the signal output combination determination table shown in FIG. 34 has won a prize. It is determined whether or not (step S901). If it is determined that the signal output combination has been won (Y in step S901), if the specific signal is not being output (N in step S902), the signal output combination is triggered by the winning of the signal output combination. Output is started (step S903). On the other hand, the signal output combination won, but the game state does not fall to the normal state because the effect state has shifted to the AT ready state by winning the continuous lottery at the end of the AT state, and a specific signal is output. If it is in the state (Y in step S901, Y in step S902), the output of the specific signal is terminated (step S904), and then the output of the specific signal is resumed (step S903). Then, when the winning assistance effect is not performed due to the end of the AT state, based on the fact that the gaming state has fallen to the normal state (Y in step S903), it is determined that the AT state has ended, and a specific signal is output. Is finished (step S904).

  Also in the modified example described above, the output of the specific signal can be started on the main board 10 without affecting the advantageous degree of the player when the sub board 20 starts the AT state. For this reason, it is indirectly controlled that the AT state is started in the main board 10 through the stop operation for the stop buttons B1 to B3 by the player by controlling the type of the role notified to the player by the sub board 20. You can be notified.

  In this modification, it is determined whether or not the main board 10 starts outputting a specific signal based on the type of winning combination. However, when the special small combination is won, the signal output combination can be won. The output of the specific signal may be started when the position is the pressing detection position (timing of the player's stop operation).

3-4. Modification 4
In the embodiment and the first modification described above, the start signal is output when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the signal output batting order both when the batting order bell is won and when the batting order replay is won. However, the signal output batting order may be set only in either the batting order bell or batting order replay.

  Further, in the second modification, the signal output outcome is set for the special small combination, but the signal output batting order may not be set in the batting order replay. The signal output combination is set for the winning mode that is won in duplicate, but the signal output batting order may not be set in the batting order replay.

3-5. Modification 5
In the embodiment and the first modification described above, the case where the first correct hit order can be notified when the batting order combination is won regardless of whether the player stays in either the first replay time state or the second replay time state. However, the first correct answer is issued only when the game state stays in the first replay time state, or the first correct answer is issued only when the game state stays in the second replay time state. You may make it alert | report a batting order.

  Further, in the above-described modification 2, the case where the first symbol combination can be notified regardless of whether the game state is staying in the normal state or the replay time state is described. However, it is limited to the case where the game state is staying in the normal state. The first symbol combination may be notified or the first symbol combination may be notified only when the gaming state stays in the replay time state.

  Moreover, in the said modification 3, although the case where the 1st alert | reporting object role can be alert | reported was demonstrated even when staying in any of a normal state and a replay time state, when the gaming state is staying in a normal state You may make it alert | report only the 1st alerting | reporting object combination, and alert | report the 1st alerting | reporting object role only when the game state is staying in the replay time state.

3-6. Modification 6
In the above embodiment, the case has been described in which a continuous lottery is performed at the end of the AT state, and the transition to the next AT state is confirmed. When the game is digested, the technique of the above embodiment or the above modification can be applied to a game specification in which the number of transitions to the AT state is managed by the number of sets in which one stocked set is digested. In addition, when a predetermined role is won in a game in the AT preparation state or the AT state, an extra lottery in which the number of games in the AT state is added or a set number for determining the number of transitions to the AT state is added. An extra lottery may be performed.

3-7. Modification 7
In the embodiment and the modification described above, when the sub-board 20 starts the AT state by performing the winning assist effect that notifies the first correct answer order corresponding to the signal output order when the batting order combination is won in the AT preparation state. The example in which the main board 10 can start outputting the specific signal in conjunction with the above has been described. However, when the predetermined signal output condition is satisfied after the AT state is started, based on the winning of the batting order The output of the specific signal may be started by notifying the first correct answer order corresponding to the signal output order.

  As a signal output condition, it is possible to win the Nth (N is a natural number of 1 or more) batting order winning after the AT state is started. The winning number of the batting order combination may be the total of the winning number of the batting order bell and batting order replay, or may be the winning number of only batting order bell or the winning number of batting order replay. Further, even when the AT state is resumed by winning the continuous lottery at the end of the AT state, the first correct answer order corresponding to the signal output batting order at the time of winning the Nth batting order after the AT state is resumed Can be notified. If the Nth batting order combination is not won after the AT state is started, the second correct answer batting order may be notified in the AT state.

  In the above embodiment and the first modification, when the stop button is pressed according to the first correct hit order in the AT preparation state, the effect state shifts to the AT state, but in this modification, the RT fluctuation blank is displayed in the AT preparation state. An example of processing performed by the sub-board 20 when the winning order is won will be described by taking the case where the effect state shifts to the AT state as an example.

  FIG. 38 is a flowchart showing a process related to a prize winning effect performed by the sub-board 20 when winning the batting order bell.

  First, when it is notified that any of the batting order bell 1 to batting order bell 6 is won based on the internal lottery result notification signal output from the main board 10 (Y in step S1000), it stays in the AT ready state. In such a case (Y in step S1001), the winning assistance effect is not performed, and the effect state is set to the AT state based on the fact that the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the active line (Y in step S1002). (Step S1003). In this modification as well, the decrement update of the value of the AT end determination counter 198 is permitted based on the transition of the effect state to the AT state. On the other hand, when not staying in the AT ready state (N in step S1001) and staying in the AT state (Y in step S1004), the mode differs depending on whether or not the Nth batting order winning is won Execute the prize winning assist.

  Specifically, in the case of winning the Nth batting order (Y in step S1005), it is determined that the signal output condition is satisfied, and the two correct answer batting orders corresponding to the winning batting order bell are selected. A winning assist effect for informing the first correct answer order corresponding to the signal output order is executed (step S1006). At this time, the main board 10 performs a process of outputting a specific signal based on the stop button being pressed according to the signal output order in accordance with the flowchart shown in FIG. On the other hand, if it is not the winning of the Nth batting order (N in step S1005), it is determined that the signal output condition is not satisfied, and the signal output batting order of the two types of correct batting orders corresponding to the winning batting order bell is determined. A winning assistance effect for informing the second correct answer striking order different from is executed (step S1006).

  FIG. 39 is a flowchart showing a process related to a winning assistance effect performed by the sub-board 20 when winning the batting order replay.

  First, when it is notified that any one of batting order replay 1 to batting order replay 6 is won based on the internal lottery result notification signal output from the main board 10 (Y in step S1100), the vehicle is in the AT ready state. In such a case (Y in step S1101), a winning assist effect for informing a second correct hit order different from the signal output hit order among the two types of correct hit orders corresponding to the selected hit order replay is executed (step S1102). On the other hand, when not staying in the AT ready state (N in step S1101) and staying in the AT state (Y in step S1103), the mode varies depending on whether or not the N-th batting order combination is won. Execute the prize winning assist.

  Specifically, in the case of winning the Nth batting order (Y in step S1104), it is determined that the signal output condition is satisfied, and the two correct answer batting orders corresponding to the winning batting order replay are selected. A winning assist effect for informing the first correct answer order corresponding to the signal output order is executed (step S1105). At this time, the main board 10 performs a process of outputting a specific signal based on the stop button being pressed according to the signal output order in accordance with the flowchart shown in FIG. On the other hand, if it is not the winning of the Nth batting order (N in step S1104), it is determined that the signal output condition is not satisfied, and the signal output batting order is selected from the two types of correct batting order corresponding to the winning batting order replay. A winning assistance effect for informing the second correct answer striking order different from is executed (step S1102).

  In this modification, it is determined whether or not the signal output condition is satisfied based on the number of wins for the batting order since the AT state is started. If the signal output condition is satisfied, the sub-board 20 is selected when the batting order is won. A winning assist effect that informs the first correct answer order corresponding to the signal output order is performed, and if the signal output condition is not satisfied, the sub-board 20 notifies the second correct answer order different from the signal output order when the winning order is won. For this reason, the types of correct hit order to be notified differ depending on whether or not the signal output condition is satisfied. Also in this modified example, as in the case of the above embodiment, the main board 10 stays in the AT state based on the fact that the stop button is pressed in accordance with the signal output batting order when winning the batting order. If the output of the specific signal to be notified is started, the main board 10 starts to output the specific signal without affecting the player's advantage after the sub-board 20 starts the AT state. Can do. As described above, in the present modification, the main board 10 is notified that the AT state has been started via the stop operation by the player by controlling the type of the correct answer order notified to the player by the sub-board 20. Can do.

3-8. Modification 8
In the second modification, the sub-board 20 starts the AT state by performing a winning assist effect informing the first symbol combination corresponding to the signal output when the special role is elected in the AT ready state. The example in which the main board 10 can start outputting the specific signal in conjunction with the above has been described. However, when the predetermined signal output condition is satisfied after the AT state is started, based on the winning of the special small role Thus, the output of the specific signal may be started by notifying the first symbol combination corresponding to the signal output point.

  As a signal output condition, the winning combination of the Nth (N is a natural number greater than or equal to 1) winning assistance effect (special small role and batting order replay: hereinafter abbreviated assistance target role) after the AT state is started It can be. Note that the winning number of the winning assistance target role may be the total number of winning times of the special small role and batting order replay, or may be the winning number of only the special small role or the winning number of batting order replay. In addition, even when the AT state is resumed by winning the continuous lottery at the end of the AT state, the number corresponding to the signal output output at the time of winning the Nth winning assistance target role after the AT state is resumed. It is possible to notify the first correct answer order corresponding to one symbol combination and signal output order. If the winning combination is not the Nth winning assistance target after the AT state is started, the second symbol combination and the second correct answer order may be notified in the AT state.

  In this modification, an example of processing performed by the sub-board 20 when the special small role is won will be described by taking as an example the case where the effect state shifts to the AT state due to the display of the RT fluctuation blank in the AT preparation state.

  FIG. 40 is a flowchart showing a process related to a winning assistance effect performed by the sub-board 20 when a special small role is won.

  First, when it is notified that one of the special small roles 1 to 3 is won based on the internal lottery result notification signal output from the main board 10 (Y in step S1200), it stays in the AT ready state. If it is determined (Y in step S1201), the winning assistance effect is not performed, and based on the fact that the symbol combination indicating the RT variation blank is displayed on the active line (Y in step S1202), the effect state is changed. The state is shifted to the AT state (step S1203). In this modification as well, the decrement update of the value of the AT end determination counter 198 is permitted based on the transition of the effect state to the AT state. On the other hand, when not staying in the AT ready state (N in step S1201) and staying in the AT state (Y in step S1204), depending on whether or not the winning combination for winning the Nth prize is determined. A winning assist effect in a different mode is executed.

  Specifically, when the winning combination for winning the Nth prize is selected (Y in step S1205), it is determined that the signal output condition is satisfied, and two types of winnings corresponding to the selected special small combination are received. A winning assist effect for informing the first symbol combination corresponding to the signal output of the symbol combinations indicating the form is executed (step S1206). At this time, the main substrate 10 performs a process of outputting a specific signal based on the signal output output being displayed according to the flowchart shown in FIG. Note that the specific signal may be output based on the pressing detection position where the signal output output can be displayed. On the other hand, if it is not the Nth winning assistance target combination (N in Step S1205), it is determined that the signal output condition is not satisfied, and two types of winning forms corresponding to the selected special small combination are shown. A winning assist effect for notifying the second symbol combination different from the signal output in the symbol combination is executed (step S1206).

  In this modification, it is determined whether or not the signal output condition is satisfied based on the number of winning assisting winning combinations since the AT state is started. When the board 20 performs a winning assistance effect informing the first symbol combination corresponding to the signal output result and does not satisfy the signal output condition, the sub board 20 is different from the signal output result when the special small role is won. In order to notify the second symbol combination, the types of symbol combinations to be notified differ depending on whether or not the signal output condition is satisfied. In this modification, the main board 10 is brought into the AT state based on the fact that the signal output output is displayed at the time of winning the special small role or that the signal detection output is displayed. If the output of the specific signal for notifying that the user is staying is started, the specific signal is sent to the main board 10 without affecting the player's advantage after the sub board 20 starts the AT state. Output can be started. As described above, also in this modification, by controlling the type of symbol combination notified to the player by the sub-board 20, the main board 10 is notified that the AT state has been started via the stop operation by the player. Can do.

3-9. Modification 9
In the third modification, the sub-board 20 performs the AT assisting effect by notifying the first notification target combination corresponding to the signal output combination when a plurality of types of special small combinations are won in the AT preparation state. The example in which the main board 10 can start outputting the specific signal in conjunction with the start of the state has been described, but there are a plurality of cases where a predetermined signal output condition is satisfied after the AT state is started. The output of the specific signal may be started by notifying the first notification target combination corresponding to the signal output combination based on the fact that the kind of special small combination is won in duplicate.

  As a signal output condition, the winning combination of the Nth (N is a natural number greater than or equal to 1) winning assistance effect (special small role and batting order replay: hereinafter abbreviated assistance target role) after the AT state is started It can be. Note that the winning number of the winning assistance target role may be the total number of winning times of the special small role and batting order replay, or may be the winning number of only the special small role or the winning number of batting order replay. In addition, even when the AT state is resumed by winning the continuous lottery at the end of the AT state, the first corresponding to the signal output combination at the time of winning the Nth winning assistance target combination after the AT state is resumed. It is possible to notify the first correct answer order corresponding to the notification target combination and the signal output order. If the winning combination is not the Nth winning assistance target after the AT state is started, the second notification target combination and the second correct answer order may be notified in the AT state.

  In the present modification, an example of processing performed by the sub-board 20 in the case where the effect state shifts to the AT state due to the display of the RT fluctuation blank in the AT preparation state will be described when multiple types of special small roles are won simultaneously. To do.

  FIG. 41 is a flowchart showing a process related to a winning assist effect performed when the sub-board 20 overlaps multiple types of special small roles.

  First, when it is notified that a plurality of types of special small roles are won based on the internal lottery result notification signal output from the main board 10 (Y in step S1300), the user is staying in the AT ready state. (Y in step S1301), the winning assistance effect is not performed, and the effect state is changed to the AT state based on the fact that the symbol combination indicating the RT fluctuation blank is displayed on the active line (Y in step S1302). Transition is performed (step S1303). In this modification as well, the decrement update of the value of the AT end determination counter 198 is permitted based on the transition of the effect state to the AT state. On the other hand, when not staying in the AT preparation state (N in step S1301) and staying in the AT state (Y in step S1304), depending on whether or not the winning combination for winning the Nth prize is determined. A winning assist effect in a different mode is executed.

  Specifically, in the case of winning the Nth winning assistance target character (Y in step S1305), it is determined that the signal output condition is satisfied, and signal output is performed out of the two types of selected special small characters. A winning assistance effect for informing the first notification target combination corresponding to the combination is executed (step S1306). At this time, the main substrate 10 performs a process of outputting a specific signal based on the winning of the signal output combination according to the flowchart shown in FIG. The specific signal may be output based on the pressing detection position where the signal output combination can be won. On the other hand, if it is not the winning combination for the Nth winning award (N in step S1305), it is determined that the signal output condition is not satisfied, and the signal output combination of the two selected special small combinations is A winning assist effect for informing a different second notification subject combination is executed (step S1306).

  In this modification, it is determined whether or not the signal output condition is satisfied based on the number of winning winning combination winning roles after the AT state is started, and if the signal output condition is satisfied, When the sub-board 20 performs a winning assistance effect for notifying the first notification target role corresponding to the signal output combination at the time of overlapping winning, and does not satisfy the signal output condition, the sub-board 20 at the time of overlapping winning of a plurality of types of special small roles. However, in order to notify the second notification target combination different from the signal output combination, the type of the special small combination to be notified differs depending on whether or not the signal output condition is satisfied. In this modification, the main board 10 is in the AT state based on the fact that the signal output combination has won a prize at the time of overlapping winning of multiple types of special small combinations, or the pressed detection position where the signal output combination can be won. If the output of the specific signal for notifying that the user is staying at the start is started, the main board 10 is specified without affecting the advantage of the player after the sub board 20 starts the AT state. The signal output can be started. As described above, also in this modification, the sub board 20 controls the type of special small role to be notified to the player, thereby notifying the main board 10 that the AT state has been started via the stop operation by the player. be able to.
