Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine that determines by lottery whether or not to give a game profit to a player.

  In a slot machine as a gaming machine, a winning combination is drawn in accordance with the insertion of a medal (game medium) by a player and the operation of a start switch, and a plurality of rotating reels with various symbols are rotated. Then, according to the lottery result and the player's operation of the stop switch, the rotating reels are sequentially stopped, and when the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is displayed on the active line that is the payout target line, a predetermined number The player is given a gaming profit (hereinafter simply referred to as gaming profit) according to the winning combination.

  In addition, the slot machine is provided with a plurality of game states with different degrees of advantage of the player as the game progresses. For example, the operation mode of the stop switch is a predetermined operation mode among a plurality of operation modes, that is, a predetermined operation order, a predetermined operation timing, or a combination thereof (hereinafter, this predetermined operation mode) When the winning combination (hereinafter referred to as a selected winning combination) for which the winning combination (which is referred to as the correct operation mode) is set as a winning condition and another winning combination is selected as a winning combination (hereinafter referred to as a selected winning type) is stopped. By notifying the switch operation order and operation timing (hereinafter, this notification is simply referred to as an auxiliary effect), the player can easily display the symbol combination corresponding to the selected winning combination on the active line. Some slot machines have an AT gaming state in which a so-called AT (assist time) game is executed. In addition, the probability of winning the replay role is set to be high in advance, and it is set so that almost every game, the selected winning role or the replay role is won, and in the normal gaming state, the player's medal is not given by performing no auxiliary effect. In the AT gaming state, a game characteristic that increases a player's medal by displaying on the effective line a symbol combination corresponding to the selected winning combination won by performing an auxiliary effect is also incorporated.

  In addition, a pseudo-bonus game in which a so-called pseudo-bonus game is executed in which a part of an AT game is differentiated from a normal AT game (hereinafter referred to as a normal AT game) in a bonus game state with a limited number of payouts. Some slot machines have a bonus game state and have changed game playability. In this case, the game state is transitioned between the normal AT game state, the pseudo bonus game state, and the normal game state in which the normal game in which the expected number of acquired medals (theoretical value of the acquired number) is smaller than both game states is executed. (For example, Patent Document 1).

  In the slot machine, for example, when an internal gaming state transitions, an external signal is output in order to transmit the fact to the outside. In the slot machine, for example, a plurality of boards having different functions are provided such that an external signal is output by a board (main control board) different from a board (sub control board) that manages AT games. However, the transmission of information from the sub control board to the main control board is limited. For example, it is possible to directly transmit the start of the normal AT game or the pseudo bonus game from the sub control board to the main control board by a signal or the like. Can not. Therefore, when the sub-control board performs an auxiliary effect, for example, a combination of symbols that can be grasped for winning a normal AT game or a pseudo bonus game is displayed on the active line, and on the main control board, it is displayed on the active line. It is determined whether or not the stop switch is operated according to the auxiliary effect, and indirectly knows that the auxiliary effect based on the pseudo bonus game has started, and the normal AT game and the pseudo bonus game start. An external signal indicating that the

  However, the sub-control board cannot manage the winning combination itself that can display on the active line a symbol combination that can be grasped that the normal AT game or the pseudo bonus game is won. Therefore, in the main control board, the winning combination that can display different symbol combinations on the active line according to the operation mode is won with a predetermined winning probability, and when the winning combination is won, the sub control board By performing an auxiliary effect and causing the player to execute a predetermined operation mode, the main control board determines the symbol combination and grasps that the normal AT game or the pseudo bonus game has started. ing.

  However, in the above winning combination, even if the normal AT game or the pseudo bonus game is not won, the symbol combination imitating the bonus combination is displayed on the active line by executing a predetermined operation. That is, when the player does not follow the operation mode indicated by the sub-control board or makes a mistake in the operation mode, a symbol combination imitating a bonus combination may be displayed on the active line. Then, even though the normal AT game or the pseudo bonus game is not actually won, an external signal indicating that the normal AT game or the pseudo bonus game has started is output to the outside, and the normal AT game or the pseudo bonus game is output. The total number of games may be different from the actual number displayed outside.

  Therefore, on the main control board, after a combination of symbols that can be grasped that a normal AT game or a pseudo bonus game is won is displayed on the active line, it corresponds to the selected winning combination among the games won in the selected winning type. An external signal indicating that a normal AT game or a pseudo bonus game has been started is externally provided that the symbol combination is displayed on the active line a predetermined number of times in succession, that is, by satisfying a plurality of conditions in a predetermined order. Can be output to However, if the order in which multiple stages of conditions for outputting an external signal are to be satisfied is determined, the external signal will be output after the winning type is won in accordance with the order, and the normal AT game or pseudo The gap between the timing of winning the bonus game and the timing of outputting the external signal tends to be large. In addition, in the normal AT game and the pseudo bonus game, it is necessary to set a plurality of conditions for outputting an external signal, so that the processing is complicated.

  The determination means 308 determines whether or not a symbol combination corresponding to any one winning combination constituting the winning type determined in the winning type lottery is displayed on the active line. Here, displaying the symbol combination corresponding to any one winning combination constituting the winning type determined in the winning type lottery may be simply referred to as winning. The payout control means 310 determines that the winning combination is based on the fact that the symbol combination corresponding to any one winning combination constituting the winning type determined in the winning type lottery is displayed on the active line (winned). Pay as many medals as the number corresponding to. The main game state transition means 312 shifts the game state managed by the main control board 200 based on winning of a bonus combination or winning.

  The command determining means 314 sequentially determines commands related to the game accompanying the operations of the betting means 302, the winning type lottery means 304, the reel control means 306, the determination means 308, the payout control means 310, the main game state transition means 312 and the like. The command transmission unit 316 sequentially transmits the commands determined by the command determination unit 314 to the sub control board 202. The external output means 318 outputs the internal state of the slot machine 100 to the outside through a signal (external signal).

  The main control board 200 receives various detection signals from the inserted medal detection unit 124b, the bet switch 126, the start switch 128, and the stop switch 130, and the main CPU 200a executes various processes based on the received detection signals. To do. Further, a main credit display unit 152 and a main payout display unit 154 are connected to the main control board 200, and the payout control unit 310 displays a medal credit number and a payout number on both display units 152 and 154. Control.

  In addition, a reel drive control unit 258 is connected to the main control board 200. The reel drive control unit 258 drives the stepping motor 262 based on the rotation start signal of each of the rotating reels 134a, 134b, 134c transmitted from the main control board 200 based on the operation signal of the start switch 128, and the stop switch. The driving of the stepping motor 262 is stopped based on the stop signal of the left reel 134a, the middle reel 134b, and the right reel 134c and the detection signal of the rotational position detection circuit 260, which are transmitted from the main control board 200 based on the operation signal 130. To do.

  The medal payout device 264 is connected to the main control board 200. A detection signal from the payout medal detection unit 264c is input to the main control board 200, and the payout control unit 310 counts the number of medals to be paid out according to the detection signal, from the payout control unit 264b. Control the discharge of medals.

  The main control board 200 is provided with a random number generator 200d. The random number generator 200d obtains random numbers by sequentially incrementing the count value, looping within a predetermined numerical range, and extracting the count value at a predetermined time point. A random number generated by the random number generator 200d of the main control board 200 (hereinafter referred to as a winning type lottery random number) is used to determine a gaming profit to be given to the player, for example, a winning type.

(Table used in main control board 200)
In the slot machine 100, a plurality of game states are provided during the progress of the game, and a plurality of winning type lottery tables corresponding to the game states are stored in the main ROM 200b. The winning type lottery means 304 extracts a corresponding winning type lottery table from the main ROM 200b in accordance with the current set value stored in the main RAM 200c (showing step by step the ease of obtaining gaming profit) and the gaming state. Then, based on the extracted winning type lottery table, it is determined whether the winning type lottery random number acquired according to the operation signal of the start switch 128 corresponds to which winning type or lose in the winning type lottery table.

  Here, the winning combination constituting the winning type extracted from the winning type lottery table includes a replay role, a small role, and a bonus role. The state where the symbol combinations corresponding to such winning combinations are aligned on the active line is called “display (winning)”, and the winning combination including the winning combination is won, and the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is displayed. Is the internal winning state. Among the winning combinations, the replay combination is a combination that can execute one game again without making a new bet of medals by the player when the symbol combination corresponding to the replay combination is displayed on the active line. A small combination is a combination that allows a predetermined number of medals to be paid out according to the symbol combination by displaying the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination on the active line. Further, the bonus combination is a winning combination that can shift the gaming state managed by the main control board 200 to the bonus gaming state by displaying the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus combination on the active line. In the following, the gaming profits given to the winning combination and the player will be described.

  FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the active line and the virtual line, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 are explanatory diagrams for explaining the winning combination, and FIG. 8 explains the state transition of the gaming state. It is explanatory drawing for.

  FIG. 5A shows an effective line in the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, there is one effective line. Specifically, among the nine symbols (3 reels × upper, middle, and lower three stages) facing the symbol display window 136, the left reel 134a, the middle reel 134b, and the right reel A line connecting positions corresponding to symbols stopped in the middle stage of 134c is set as an effective line A. FIG. 5B shows a virtual line. The virtual line is a line that displays other symbol combinations that make it easy to grasp the winning combination when it is difficult to grasp the winning combination only by the symbol combination displayed on the effective line A. In the present embodiment, the virtual line is 4 Assume one virtual line. Specifically, a line connecting positions corresponding to symbols stopped on the upper stage of the left reel 134a, the upper stage of the middle reel 134b, and the upper stage of the right reel 134c is a virtual line B1, the lower stage of the left reel 134a, the lower stage of the middle reel 134b, The line connecting the positions corresponding to the symbols to be stopped at the lower stage of the right reel 134c is connected to the virtual line B2, the upper stage of the left reel 134a, the middle stage of the middle reel 134b, and the positions corresponding to the symbols to be stopped at the lower stage of the right reel 134c. A line connecting positions corresponding to symbols that stop on the virtual line C1, the lower stage of the left reel 134a, the middle stage of the middle reel 134b, and the upper stage of the right reel 134c is set as the virtual line C2. However, the virtual lines B1, B2, C1, and C2 are merely displayed in a linear pattern, and only the active line A determines the winning combination winning combination.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the winning combination “normal replay”, “special replay 1”, “special replay 2”, “big replay”, “regular replay” (hereinafter referred to as “winning combination”). The five replays may simply be abbreviated as “Replay” as a winning role), “Cherry”, “Normal Bell”, “Common Bell”, “Special Bell 1”, “Special Bell 2”, “Special Bell 3”, “Special Bell 4”, “Special Bell 5”, “Special Bell 6”, “Special Bell 7”, “Special Bell 8”, “Special Bell 9”, “Special Bell 10”, “Special Bell 11”, “Special Bell” “Bell 12”, “Special Bell 13” (hereinafter “Normal Bell”, “Common Bell”, “Special Bell 1”, “Special Bell 2”, “Special Bell 3”, “Special Bell 4”, “Special Bell” "Bell 5", "Special Bell 6", "Special Bell 7", "Special Bell 8", " In particular, 15 bells of “bell 9”, “special bell 10”, “special bell 11”, “special bell 12”, and “special bell 13” may be simply abbreviated as “bell” in some cases), “Big Bonus” (Hereinafter referred to as BB) ". Among these, the winning roles “normal replay”, “special replay 1”, “special replay 2”, “big replay”, and “regular replay” correspond to the above replay roles, and the winning roles “cherry”, “normal bell”, “Common Bell”, “Special Bell 1”, “Special Bell 2”, “Special Bell 3”, “Special Bell 4”, “Special Bell 5”, “Special Bell 6”, “Special Bell 7”, “Special Bell” “8”, “special bell 9”, “special bell 10”, “special bell 11”, “special bell 12”, and “special bell 13” correspond to the above small roles, and the winning combination “BB” serves as the above bonus role. Equivalent to.

(Replay role)
As a result of the lottery type lottery, the winning category includes “Replay” (winning role “Normal Replay”, “Special Replay 1”, “Special Replay 2”, “Big Replay”, “Regular Replay”). When winning and operating in the operation mode (in this case, the order of operation) which is a winning condition, it is written on each of the rotating reels 134a, 134b, 134c among one or more symbol combinations corresponding to the winning combination. When the symbol can be displayed on the effective line A and one or more symbol combinations corresponding to the winning combination are displayed on the effective line A, as described above, the player again bets 1 without placing a bet. A game can be executed. For example, as a result of the winning type lottery, when the winning type including the winning combination “normal replay” is won and operated in the operation mode as a winning condition, it corresponds to the winning combination “normal replay” shown in FIG. Among the symbol combinations, the “Replay A” symbol described on each of the rotating reels 134a, 134b, and 134c can be displayed on the effective line A as shown in FIG. In addition, when a winning type including the winning combination “Special Replay 1” is won and operated in the operation mode as a winning condition, a plurality of symbol combinations corresponding to the winning combination “Special Replay 1” shown in FIG. 7B, for example, as shown in FIG. 7B, the “BAR” symbol indicated on the middle reel 134b can be displayed on the effective line A, and the “BAR” symbol indicated on the right reel 134c is indicated on the effective line A. It can be displayed above. Further, the symbol of the left reel 134a in the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “Special Replay 1” is “ANY”. Here, “ANY” indicates that any symbol may be stopped on the corresponding effective line A. Accordingly, here, the winning type including the winning combination “special replay 1” is won and operated in the operation mode as a winning condition, and the middle reel 134b and the right reel 134c are stopped, corresponding to the left reel 134a. Regardless of the symbol displayed on the active line A, the winning combination “Special Replay 1” will not be affected, that is, the “BAR” symbol on the middle reel 134b When the “BAR” symbol displayed on the right reel 134c is displayed on the active line A, the winning combination “special replay 1” is confirmed regardless of the stop mode of the left reel 134a. It becomes. In the example of FIG. 7B, the “BAR” symbol written on the left reel 134a is displayed on the effective line A, and the “BAR” symbol is linearly displayed on both the effective line A and the virtual line C1. It is displayed. In addition, when a winning type including the winning combination “Special Replay 2” is won and operated in the operation mode as a winning condition, a plurality of symbol combinations corresponding to the winning combination “Special Replay 2” shown in FIG. 7C, for example, as shown in FIG. 7C, the “BAR” symbol written on the left reel 134a can be displayed on the effective line A, and the “bell” symbol written on the middle reel 134b is displayed on the effective line A. It is possible to display the symbol “BAR” on the right reel 134c and display it on the effective line A. When the winning type including the winning combination “Special Replay 2” is won and operated in the operation mode as a winning condition, the player first activates the “BAR” symbol written on the right reel 134c and the left reel 134a. If the “BAR” symbol displayed on the line A and then the “BAR” symbol displayed on the middle reel 134b is displayed on the active line A, “BAR” Even if the symbol is aimed, only the “bell” symbol can be displayed on the effective line A.

  In addition, when winning the winning type including the winning combination “Big Replay” and operating in the operation mode as a winning condition, among a plurality of symbol combinations corresponding to the winning combination “Big Replay” shown in FIG. For example, if the “red 7” symbol written on each of the rotating reels 134a, 134b, and 134c exists within the pull-in range when the stop switch 130 is pressed, as shown in FIG. The “red 7” symbol written on each of the rotating reels 134a, 134b, and 134c can be displayed on the effective line A. Thus, by displaying the “Red 7” symbol in a straight line on the active line A, the player can easily grasp that the winning type including the winning combination “Big Replay” has been won. In addition, when a winning type including the winning combination “Regular Replay” is won and operated in the operation mode as a winning condition, among the plural symbol combinations corresponding to the winning combination “Regular Replay” shown in FIG. For example, as shown in FIG. 7E, the “Replay A” symbol indicated on the left reel 134a can be displayed on the effective line A, and the “Red 7” symbol indicated on the middle reel 134b is indicated on the effective line A. The “red 7” symbol on the right reel 134c can be displayed on the active line A. When a winning category including the winning combination “Regular Replay” is won and operated in the operation mode that is a winning condition, for example, the player first has the “Red 7” symbol written on the middle reel 134b and the right reel 134c. Is displayed on the active line A, and then the “Red 7” symbol on the left reel 134a is displayed on the active line A. In the situation where the winning combination “Big Replay” may be won, Even if the “Red 7” symbol is aimed, only the “Replay A” symbol can be displayed on the active line A. In the example of FIG. 7E, the symbol combinations displayed on the effective line A are “Replay A”, “Red 7”, and “Red 7”, but the symbol combinations displayed on the virtual line C2 Becomes “Red 7”, “Red 7”, and “White 7”, and the player knows that the winning type including the winning combination “Regular Replay” has been won.

  In the present embodiment, when the stop switch 130 is pressed by the player and the symbols constituting the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination are on the active line A, the reel control means 306 Then, stop control is performed so that the symbol stops on the effective line A. In addition, when the stop switch 130 is pressed, there is no symbol constituting the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination on the effective line A, but the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the rotary reels 134a, 134b, 134c. If it is within the range (drawing range) corresponding to four symbols, the reel control means 306 makes the number of symbols separated as the number of sliding symbols, and configures the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination The stop control is performed so as to stop after maintaining the rotation by the number of sliding frames so as to draw the symbol to be drawn on the effective line A. In addition, when there are a plurality of symbols corresponding to the winning combination in each of the rotating reels 134a, 134b, 134c, and all of them are within the pull-in range of each of the rotating reels 134a, 134b, 134c, a predetermined priority is set. It is determined which symbol is to be drawn on the effective line A according to the rank, and stop control is performed so as to stop after maintaining the rotation by the number of sliding frames so as to draw the prioritized symbol on the effective line A. In this way, simply saying “stop control” or “displayable” not only stops the symbols that make up the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination, but also configures the symbol combination that corresponds to the winning combination within the pull-in range. The process of drawing in the symbol to be stopped and stopping. If the symbol other than the symbols constituting the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is on the effective line A when the stop switch 130 is pressed, the reel control means 306 converts the symbol to the effective line A. A so-called kick-off process is also performed in parallel so as not to stop it upward. Further, as will be described later, when the operation mode (operation order and operation timing) is set as a winning condition for the winning combination constituting the winning type, the reel control means 306 receives the winning according to the operation mode of the player. Stop control is performed so that the symbol combination corresponding to the combination can be displayed on the effective line A.

  In each of the rotating reels 134a, 134b, 134c, one or more symbols constituting one or more symbol combinations corresponding to the winning combination “replay” are always displayed on the active line A by the stop control described above. They are arranged as possible (see FIGS. 3 and 6). For example, one or more symbols constituting the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “normal replay” are separated from each other by a maximum of four symbols in each of the rotating reels 134a, 134b, 134c. It can be displayed on the active line A. In this way, when a winning category that includes the winning combination “Replay” is won and operated in the operation mode that is the winning condition, any symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “Replay” is always valid. It will be displayed on line A. In this way, when the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “Replay” is displayed on the active line A, it becomes possible to start the next one game without inserting medals.

  As will be described in detail later, the stop control in the case of winning the winning type including the winning combination “Replay” is the winning mode (for example, whether the winning combination “Normal Replay” is won alone or other winning combination) (For example, whether or not the winning combination “Big Replay”) and the other winning combination overlapped, etc.). Therefore, depending on the winning mode and the player's operating mode, the winning combination “Replay” (winning role “Normal Replay”, “Special Replay 1”, “Special Replay 2”, “Big Replay”, “Regular” The symbol combination corresponding to any winning combination of “Replay”) will be displayed on the active line A.

  As described above, when a winning type including the winning combination “Big Replay” or the winning combination “Regular Replay” is selected, any symbol combination corresponding to these winning combinations is always valid line A. Will be displayed above. However, as can be understood with reference to FIG. 3, only one “red 7” symbol or “white 7” symbol is arranged on each rotating reel 134a, 134b, 134c. ”Or one of the multiple symbol combinations corresponding to the winning role“ Regular Replay ”is displayed on the active line A, the red on the active line A or the virtual lines B1, B2, C1, C2 The “7” symbol and the “white 7” symbol do not always stop. That is, when the winning combination including the winning combination “Big Replay” and the winning combination “Regular Replay” is selected, even if the stop switch 130 is operated at a random position even if the winning switch is operated in the order of operation. The “Red 7” symbol and the “White 7” symbol may not be displayed on the active line A or the virtual lines B1, B2, C1, C2, and the winning winning combination may be the winning “Big Replay” or the winning “ It may not be easy to grasp that it is “Regular Replay”.

(Small role)
Further, as a result of the winning type lottery, if the winning type “Cherry” including the winning combination “Cherry” is won, among the symbol combinations corresponding to the winning combination “Cherry” shown in FIG. 7 (f), the “white 7” symbol written on the left reel 134a can be displayed on the effective line A, and the “cherry” symbol written on the middle reel 134b can be displayed on the effective line A. Become. Since the right reel 134c is “ANY”, any symbol may be displayed on the active line A. In the example of FIG. 7F, the symbol combinations displayed on the effective line A are “white 7”, “cherry”, and “replay A”, but the symbol combinations displayed on the virtual line C2 are “Cherry”, “Cherry” and “Watermelon A” are provided, and the player can easily grasp that the winning type “Cherry” including the winning role “Cherry” is won. However, in each of the rotating reels 134a, 134b, 134c, the symbols constituting the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “cherry” are arranged so that they may not be displayed on the active line A even by the stop control described above. ing. Therefore, even if the winning type “Cherry” including the winning combination “Cherry” is won, so-called “missing” may occur, and the player does not necessarily place the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “Cherry” on the active line A. It is not always displayed.

  As a result of lottery, the winning role “Bell” (winning role “Normal Bell”, “Common Bell”, “Special Bell 1”, “Special Bell 2”, “Special Bell 3”, “Special Bell 4”, “Special Bell” “Bell 5”, “Special Bell 6”, “Special Bell 7”, “Special Bell 8”, “Special Bell 9”, “Special Bell 10”, “Special Bell 11”, “Special Bell 12”, “Special Bell 13” In the case of winning a winning category that includes “any one of the above”), one or a plurality of symbols written on each of the rotating reels 134a, 134b, 134c among one or a plurality of symbol combinations corresponding to the winning combination. Can be displayed on the effective line A, and when the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “Bell” is displayed on the effective line A, the number of medals corresponding to each winning combination is paid out to the player. For example, as a result of a lottery for a winning category, when a winning category including a winning combination “Normal Bell” is won and a winning condition (operation in an operation sequence associated with a winning combination “Normal Bell” described later) is satisfied. The symbol combination indicated on each of the rotating reels 134a, 134b, 134c shown in FIG. 6 among the symbol combinations corresponding to the winning combination “normal bell” is effective as shown in FIG. 7 (g). Display on line A is possible. Further, as a result of the lottery of the winning category, when the winning category including the winning combination “common bell” is won, among the symbol combinations corresponding to the winning combination “common bell” shown in FIG. As shown in (h), the “Replay A” symbol on the left reel 134a can be displayed on the effective line A, and the “Bell” symbol on the middle reel 134b can be displayed on the effective line A. The “cherry” symbol written on the right reel 134c can be displayed on the active line A. In the example of FIG. 7H, the symbol combinations displayed on the effective line A are “Replay A”, “Bell”, and “Cherry”, but the symbol combinations displayed on the virtual line C1 are “ “Bell”, “Bell”, and “Bell”, and the player can easily grasp that the winning type including the winning combination “common bell” is won. Here, one or a plurality of symbols constituting the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “normal bell” and the winning combination “common bell” are separated by a maximum of four symbols in each of the rotating reels 134a, 134b, 134c. Therefore, they are arranged so that they can be displayed on the effective line A by the above stop control (see FIGS. 3 and 6). However, the winning combination “normal bell” is set so that the number of payouts is larger than the winning combination “common bell” (for example, the winning combination “normal bell” = 9, the winning combination “common bell” = 1). Sheet).

  Further, among the plurality of symbol combinations corresponding to the winning combination “Special Bell 2” to “Special Bell 13”, as an example, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “Special Bell 2” is as shown in FIG. The symbol of the left reel 134a constituting the symbol combination is “red 7” or “watermelon B”, the symbol of the middle reel 134b is “red 7” or “replay A”, and the symbol of the right reel 134c is “ "Bell". Therefore, for the left reel 134a, if the stop control is executed in a range corresponding to nine symbols such as between symbol numbers 3 to 11 of the 21 symbols in FIG. 3, the “red 7” or “watermelon B” symbols are executed. Can be displayed on the active line A. For the middle reel 134b, if the stop control is executed within the range corresponding to twelve symbols such as symbol number 1 to 11 among the 21 symbols in FIG. The “Replay A” symbol can be displayed on the active line A. Further, the right reel 134c is arranged so that the “bell” symbol can be displayed on the effective line A by the above stop control. Therefore, for example, in the case of winning a winning type including the above winning combination “Special Bell 2”, if the player randomly operates, any symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “Special Bell 2” is selected. The probability that it can be displayed on the effective line A is about 1/4 (9/21 × 12/21 × 21/21). By the same calculation, the probability that the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “Special Bell 3” to “Special Bell 5” can be displayed on the effective line A is about ¼, and the winning combination “Special Bell 6” to The probability that the symbol combination corresponding to “special bell 13” can be displayed on the effective line A is about 1/8. Therefore, the player is not always able to display the symbol combinations corresponding to the winning combinations “Special Bell 2” to “Special Bell 13” on the effective line A.

  In addition, the winning combination “special bell 1” to “special bell 13” has a smaller number of payouts than the winning combination “normal bell” (for example, the winning combination “normal bell” = 9, the winning combination “special bell”). Bell 1 ”to“ Special Bell 13 ”= 1 sheet). Therefore, as will be described later, the operation of the stop button switches 130a, 130b, and 130c is limited in the game, and for example, only the symbol combination corresponding to one of the winning combinations “Special Bell 6” to “Special Bell 13” is effective line A If it cannot be displayed above, that is, if only the winning combination “Special Bell 6” to “Special Bell 13” can be won under the operation, a maximum of one for the prescribed number of insertions “3” Only the number of payouts (the expected acquisition number is 1/8) can be obtained, and medals decrease as the game progresses. On the other hand, when the auxiliary effect is executed without restricting the operation of the stop button switches 130a, 130b, 130c, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “normal bell” can be displayed on the active line A. In addition, a game that obtains nine payouts for the specified number of insertions “3” can be realized, and the number of medals can be increased as the game progresses by increasing the winning probability of the winning combination “normal bell”.

  As will be described in detail later, in this embodiment, the winning combination “Normal Bell” is not won by itself, and other winning combinations (for example, the winning combination “Special Bell 1” and the winning combination “Special Bell”) 6 ”), the stop control is set to be different depending on the winning mode of the overlapping winning. Accordingly, in each of the rotating reels 134a, 134b, and 134c, the “bell” symbol is always arranged so as to be displayed on the active line A (see FIGS. 3 and 6), but the winning combination “normal bell” Even if you win a winning type that includes, depending on how you operate it, you may miss it, and the player may not necessarily be able to display the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “normal bell” on the active line A Not exclusively.

(Bonus role)
Further, as a result of the winning type lottery, if the winning type “BB” including the winning combination “BB” is won, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “BB” shown in FIG. As shown in j), the “BAR” symbol on the left reel 134a can be displayed on the effective line A, and the “BAR” symbol on the middle reel 134b can be displayed on the effective line A. The “cherry” symbol indicated by 134c can be displayed on the active line A. When the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “BB” is displayed on the active line A, the bonus game flag is turned ON, so that the game state is set to the bonus game state, and the next one game (hereinafter simply referred to as “game”). After the next game), the game can be executed in the bonus game state until a predetermined number (for example, 26) of medals is paid out. In each of the rotating reels 134a, 134b, and 134c, "BAR", "BAR", and "Cherry" symbols are arranged so that they may not be displayed on the effective line A even by the stop control described above. (See FIGS. 3 and 6). Therefore, even if the winning type “BB” including the winning combination “BB” is won, the player cannot always display the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “BB” on the active line A.

  Here, when one of the winning types is won, an internal winning flag corresponding to each winning type is established (ON), and the left reel 134a, the middle reel 134b, the right are set according to the establishment status of the internal winning flag. The stop control of each of the reels 134c is performed. At this time, if the winning combination including the small combination is won, but the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination cannot be displayed on the active line A within the one game, After completion, the internal winning flag is turned off. In other words, the right to win a small role is limited only to the game won by the winning type including the small role, and the right cannot be carried over to the next game. On the other hand, when the winning type “BB” including the winning combination “BB” (bonus combination) is won, the BB internal winning flag is established (ON) and the symbol corresponding to the winning combination “BB” is set. Until the combination is displayed on the active line A, the BB internal winning flag is carried over the game.

  Specifically, together with the transition of the gaming state managed by the main control board 200, when the BB internal winning flag is established, as shown in (1) of FIG. 8 according to the establishment status of the BB internal winning flag. In addition, the gaming state managed by the main control board 200 is a bonus established gaming state corresponding to a bonus gaming state preparation state from a bonus non-achieving gaming state that is not won in the winning type “BB” including the bonus combination. Thus, the stop control of each of the left reel 134a, the middle reel 134b, and the right reel 134c is performed based on the bonus established gaming state. At this time, if the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “BB” cannot be displayed on the active line A, the BB internal winning flag is carried over to the next game as it is (the bonus established gaming state is maintained). The symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “BB” can be displayed on the active line A in the next and subsequent games. When the player displays the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “BB” on the active line A, the gaming state managed by the main control board 200 is a bonus as shown in FIG. Transition from the established gaming state to the bonus gaming state. Further, when a predetermined number of medals are paid out in the bonus game state, as shown in (3) of FIG. To do. However, as indicated by the dashed arrow in (4) of FIG. 8, in the game in which the winning combination “BB” is established in the non-bonus game state, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “BB” is placed on the active line A. When displayed, the game state transits directly to the bonus game state without going through the bonus established game state.

  When the internal winning flag corresponding to the winning type including the winning combination “replay” that is the replaying role is established, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is always displayed on the active line A and requires a medal. After the processing necessary for performing the next game without being performed, the internal winning flag is turned off.

(Winning type lottery table)
FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 are diagrams showing a winning type lottery table used when determining the winning type lottery random number, and FIG. 9 shows the winning type lottery table for the bonus established gaming state used in the above-described bonus established gaming state. FIG. 10 shows a winning type lottery table for bonus non-established gaming state used in the bonus non-established gaming state. In the winning type lottery table, a plurality of winning areas are sectioned, and the winning type that is the object of the lottery differs depending on the gaming state, and the presence or absence of losing (unwinning) is different. Each partitioned winning area is associated with a predetermined winning range value (numerical value) and a winning type, and the winning type lottery is calculated by adding up the winning range values of all the winning areas assigned for each gaming state. The total number of random numbers (65536). Accordingly, the probability that each winning category is determined is a value obtained by dividing the winning range value associated with the winning region by the total number of winning type lottery random numbers. The winning type lottery means 304 sequentially acquires a winning range value from a plurality of winning areas in the winning type lottery table based on the gaming state at that time, and subtracts the winning range value from the winning type lottery random number. When the subtraction value is less than 0, the winning type associated with the winning area at that time is set as the lottery result. The lottery procedure can be applied to other lotteries.

  According to the winning-type gaming state winning type lottery table of FIG. 9, the winning area “1” is associated with the winning type “normal replay”, and the winning combination “normal replay” is selected according to the winning “ The symbol combination corresponding to “normal replay” can be displayed on the effective line A.

  Moreover, according to the winning type lottery table, a plurality of winning combinations may win a winning type. For example, in the winning area 2, a winning type “special replay 1” in which the winning roles “normal replay” and “special replay 1” overlap is associated, and in the winning area 3, the winning roles “normal replay” and “special replay” The winning type “special replay 2” in which “replay 2” is duplicated is associated, and the winning area “normal replay” and the winning type “bonus replay 1” in which “big replay” is duplicated are associated in the winning area 4, The winning area 5 is associated with a winning type “bonus replay 2” in which the winning combinations “normal replay” and “regular replay” overlap. Here, a plurality of symbol combinations including a symbol combination in which a bonus symbol (here, “red 7” symbol or “white 7” symbol) is linearly displayed in the symbol display window 136 is associated. The bonus winning combination is “Regular Replay” or “Big Replay”, and the bonus winning type in which the bonus winning combination overlaps with other winning roles is the winning type “Bonus Replay 1” or the winning type. “Bonus Replay 2”. As described above, when a plurality of winning combinations are won in duplicate, a winning condition regarding which symbol combination corresponding to which winning combination is preferentially displayed on the active line A, for example, the stop button switch 130a. , 130b, and 130c are set in order of operation.

  In the following description, the operation of the stop button switches 130a, 130b, and 130c for stopping the rotating reels in the order of the left reel 134a, the middle reel 134b, and the right reel 134c is referred to as “batting order 1”, and the left reel 134a, the right reel 134c, and the middle reel The stop button switches 130a, 130b, 130b for stopping the rotating reels in the order of the middle reel 134b, the left reel 134a, and the right reel 134c are set to “batting order 2”. The operation of 130c is “batting order 3”, the operation of the stop button switches 130a, 130b, 130c for stopping the rotating reels in the order of the middle reel 134b, the right reel 134c, and the left reel 134a is “batting order 4”, the right reel 134c, Reel 13 a. Stop button switches for stopping the rotating reels in the order of the middle reel 134b. The operation of the stop button switches 130a, 130b, 130c is “batting order 5”, and the stop button switch for stopping the rotating reels in the order of the right reel 134c, the middle reel 134b, and the left reel 134a. The operations of 130a, 130b, and 130c are set to “batting order 6”.

  For example, in the bonus establishment gaming state, the winning type “special replay 1” corresponding to the winning area 2 is determined by the winning type lottery, and the stop button switches 130a and 130b are set so that the left reel 134a stops first (first stop). , 130c are sequentially operated (batting order 1 or batting order 2), the stop control is performed so that the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “normal replay” is preferentially displayed on the active line A. In addition, when the stop button switches 130a, 130b, and 130c are sequentially operated so that the middle reel 134b or the right reel 134c stops first (batting order 3 to batting order 6), the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “special replay 1” Is controlled so that is preferentially displayed on the active line A. Therefore, when winning type “special replay 1” is won, “BAR” symbols can be displayed linearly on both the effective line A and the virtual line C1, as shown in FIG. 7B. . In addition, when the winning type “special replay 2” corresponding to the winning area 3 is determined by the winning type lottery, and the stop button switches 130a, 130b, and 130c are sequentially operated so that the left reel 134a stops first (batting order 1) Alternatively, stop control is performed so that the symbol combination corresponding to the winning order 2) and the winning combination “normal replay” is preferentially displayed on the active line A. In addition, when the stop button switches 130a, 130b, and 130c are sequentially operated so that the middle reel 134b or the right reel 134c stops first (batting order 3 to batting order 6), the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “special replay 2” Is controlled so that is preferentially displayed on the active line A. Accordingly, when the winning type “special replay 2” is won, as shown in FIG. 7C, “BAR” written on the right reel 134c and the left reel 134a on both the active line A and the virtual line C1. "" Can be displayed, but the "BAR" symbol written on the middle reel 134b cannot be displayed. The winning combination “special replay 1” and the winning combination “special replay 2” are to make it possible for the player to grasp that an arbitrary game profit has been given through the rotating reels 134a, 134b, 134c, as will be described later. Used.

  Here, as described above, when winning type “special replay 1” is won, any one of the overlaps will occur regardless of the timing at which stop button switches 130a, 130b, 130c are pressed. The symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is always displayed on the active line A. Therefore, even if the player operates the stop button switches 130a, 130b, and 130c so that any one of the left reel 134a, the middle reel 134b, and the right reel 134c is stopped first, the symbol combination corresponding to the replay role is applied to the effective line A. Although it can be displayed above, the combination of symbols displayed differs depending on the stop order.

  When such a replay combination is won in the overlapping winning type, the sub-control board 202 can display on the effective line A a symbol combination corresponding to any of the plurality of winning combinations that have been selected through the auxiliary effect. . In other words, the sub-control board 202 that originally does not control the rotating reels 134a, 134b, and 134c can indirectly operate the stopping mode of the rotating reels 134a, 134b, and 134c. In addition, the main control board 200 manages the sub control board 202 in parallel with the gaming state managed by the main control board 200 by determining the stop operation (in this case, the operation order) performed by the player. It is possible to grasp the game state (bonus game state etc.) being changed and various internal states have changed. In addition, in the main control board 200, instead of or in addition to the stop operation (operation mode) performed by such a player, the winning displayed on the active line A (winned) by the player's operation Based on the combination, it is also possible to grasp that the gaming state managed by the sub control board 202 and various internal states have changed. Which one or both of the game states managed by the sub-control board 202 and the objects for grasping that various internal states have changed can be selected as appropriate according to the specifications.

  In addition, the winning type “bonus replay 1” corresponding to the winning area 4 is determined by the winning type lottery, and the stop button switch so that the left reel 134a of the left reel 134a, the middle reel 134b, and the right reel 134c stops first. When 130a, 130b, and 130c are sequentially operated (batting order 1 or batting order 2), stop control is performed so that the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “normal replay” is displayed on the active line A. Further, when the stop button switches 130a, 130b, and 130c are sequentially operated so that the middle reel 134b or the right reel 134c stops first (batting order 3 to batting order 6), the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “Big Replay” is determined. Stop control is performed so that it is displayed on the effective line A.

  Further, when the winning type “bonus replay 2” corresponding to the winning area 5 is determined by the winning type lottery, and the stop button switches 130a, 130b, and 130c are sequentially operated so that the left reel 134a stops first (batting order 1). Alternatively, stop control is performed so that the symbol combination corresponding to the winning order 2) and the winning combination “normal replay” is displayed on the active line A. Further, when the stop button switches 130a, 130b, and 130c are sequentially operated so that the middle reel 134b or the right reel 134c stops first (batting order 3 to batting order 6), the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “regular replay” is obtained. Stop control is performed so that it is displayed on the effective line A.

  In addition, the winning area 6 is associated with the winning type “Cherry”, and corresponds to the winning combination “Cherry” as shown in FIG. 7F according to the winning type “Cherry”. The symbol combination to be displayed can be displayed on the effective line A. In addition, the winning area 7 is associated with the winning type “common bell”, and according to the winning type “common bell”, as shown in FIG. Can be displayed on the effective line A.

  In addition, the winning area 8 is associated with a winning type “1 in batting order bell” in which the winning roles “normal bell”, “special bell 1”, and “special bell 6” overlap. In such duplicate winning, a winning condition as to which symbol combination corresponding to which winning combination is preferentially displayed on the active line A, for example, the order in which the stop button switches 130a, 130b, 130c are operated is set. ing.

  For example, in the bonus establishment game state, the winning type “1 in batting order bell” corresponding to the winning area 8 is determined by the winning type lottery, and the stop button switches 130a, 130b, and 130c are sequentially turned so that the left reel 134a stops first. When operated (batting order 1 or batting order 2), stop control is performed so that the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “special bell 6” is preferentially displayed on the active line A. In addition, among the left reel 134a, the middle reel 134b, and the right reel 134c, the stop button switches 130a, 130b, and 130c are sequentially operated so that the middle reel 134b stops first and the left reel 134a stops second (second stop). In the case where the winning combination is “batting order 3”, the stop control is performed so that the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “normal bell” is preferentially displayed on the active line A. Further, when the stop button switches 130a, 130b, and 130c are sequentially operated so that the middle reel 134b stops first and the right reel 134c stops second (batting order 4), or the right reel 134c stops first. When the stop button switches 130a, 130b, and 130c are sequentially operated (batting order 5 or batting order 6), the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “special bell 1” is stopped so that it is displayed preferentially on the effective line A. Control is made.

  Here, as described above, the winning combination “ordinary bell” has any symbol combination corresponding to these winning combinations, regardless of the timing at which the stop button switches 130a, 130b, 130c are pressed. Is always displayed on the active line A. The number of payouts for the winning combination “normal bell” is nine. On the other hand, the winning combination “Special Bell 6” and the winning combination “Special Bell 1” have a small number of medals paid out, and the winning combination “Special Bell 1” has any timing on the symbol arrangement. Even if the stop button switch 130a, 130b, 130c is pressed, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is always displayed on the active line A, but the winning combination “special bell 6” The probability that any symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “special bell 6” can be displayed on the active line A when the player randomly operates is as low as about 1/8. Therefore, the expected number of winnings is “winning role“ normal bell ”> winning role“ special bell 1 ”> winning role“ special bell 6 ”.

  In all the winning areas 8 to 23 of the winning type lottery table, the winning combination “Normal Bell”, the winning combination “Special Bell 1” to the winning combination “Special Bell 5”, or the winning combination The winning combination of any one of the roles “Special Bell 6” to “Special Bell 13” is to be selected in duplicate (hereinafter referred to as winning type “1 in batting order bell”, “batting order” in winning areas 8 to 23) 2 in bell, 3 in batting bell, 4 in batting bell, 5 in batting bell, 6 in batting bell, 7 in batting bell, 8 in batting bell, 8 batting bell "Right Order Bell Right 2", "Batting Order Bell Right 3", "Batting Order Bell Right 4", "Batting Order Bell Right 5", "Batting Order Bell Right 6", "Batting Order Bell Right 7", "Batting Order Bell Right" 8 ”may be abbreviated as“ winning order bell ”(specific winning type) in some cases) Bell 1 "to the winning combination" stop operation for winning the special bell 13 "more winning combination" normal bell "are set to be different by winning area. In addition, the winning probability (the number of winning range values) of the winning areas 8 to 23 is set to be equal. Since the player cannot usually know which winning type is won, the winning area “Normal Bell” is won as a selected winning role by providing the winning areas 8 to 23 as described above. It has become extremely difficult to do. However, even when the player wins a winning type in which the player's gaming profits differ according to the operation order of the stop button switches 130a, 130b, 130c, the player can win the winning role “Normal” through the auxiliary effect by the sub-control board 202. By grasping the operation mode in which the “bell” can be won (hereinafter, this operation mode is referred to as the correct operation mode), the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “normal bell” is displayed on the active line A, and the normal gaming state It becomes possible to win more medals. Thus, by executing the auxiliary effect, the AT gaming state (the normal AT gaming state and the pseudo bonus gaming state described later) in which medals tend to increase as the game progresses, and by not performing the auxiliary effect, the game progresses. Accordingly, it is possible to realize a gaming state in which medals tend to decrease. Further, as will be described later, in the normal gaming state, in addition to the fact that the auxiliary effect is not executed, the operation of the stop button switches 130a, 130b, and 130c is performed in the batting order 1 or batting order 2 in order to further reduce the expected number of winnings. (In a normal game state, if the player performs an operation in the batting order 3 to 6 other than the batting order 1 and batting order 2, the player's operation is limited to the batting order 1 or batting order 2 by applying a penalty described later. ) Specifically, in the normal gaming state, even when the winning type “batting order bell” is won, only the winning roles “special bell 6” to “special bell 13” can be won by the batting order 1 or batting order 2 ( Winners “Normal Bell” and Winners “Special Bell 1” to “Special Bell 5” cannot be awarded). Then, in the normal gaming state, in the game where the winning type “batting order bell” is won, the expected number of winnings is about 1/8 with respect to the specified insertion number “3”, and the number of medals is likely to decrease as the game progresses. . On the other hand, in the AT gaming state in which the operation of the stop button switches 130a, 130b, 130c is not limited and the auxiliary effect is executed, in the game in which the winning type “batting order bell” is won, ”Can be won, so the expected number of winnings will be 9 for the prescribed number of insertions“ 3 ”, and by adjusting the winning probability of the winning type“ batting order bell ”, the number of medals will increase as the game progresses An easy game can be realized.

  In addition, the winning area 24 is associated with a winning type “losing”, and such a winning will not be paid out of medals, but corresponds to the winning combination “BB” in which the BB internal winning flag is carried over. By displaying the symbol combination to be displayed on the effective line A or displaying the specific symbol combination on the effective line A, it is possible to use it for a game start / end condition or a game profit lottery opportunity.

  Next, when comparing the winning type lottery table for the bonus non-achieved gaming state in FIG. 10 and the winning type lottery table for the bonus established gaming state in FIG. 9, the former is drawing the lottery of the winning type “BB”. In contrast, the latter does not draw the winning type “BB”, while the latter draws the winning type “losing”, whereas the former does not draw. This is because in the latter case, the winning type “BB” has already been won so that the winning type “BB” cannot be won again. In the latter, the replay role and the small role are given priority as will be described later. This is because the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “BB” in the game in which the winning type “losing” is drawn in a lottery can be displayed on the active line A. Although not shown, the latter has a higher winning probability of the winning type “normal replay” than the former.

  As game states managed by the main control board 200, there are bonus game states other than the bonus non-established game state and the bonus established game state. Regardless of the result, in all the lottery results, the corresponding symbol combination is forcibly set to a small combination that can always be displayed on the active line A, so the winning type lottery table is not set.

(Game state transition)
Hereinafter, the transition of the gaming state (non-bonus established gaming state, bonus established gaming state, bonus gaming state) on the main control board 200 will be described in detail. In the present embodiment, the prescribed number of insertions differs depending on the gaming state, and in the bonus non-achieved gaming state and the bonus establishment gaming state, the prescribed number of insertions is set to three. In the gaming state, the prescribed number of throws is set to two.

(Bonus not established gaming state)
The bonus non-established gaming state is a gaming state corresponding to an initial state among a plurality of gaming states managed by the main control board 200. In the non-bonus gaming state, the winning probability of the winning type “normal replay” is set to about 1 / 7.3. Then, as described with reference to FIG. 8, when the winning type “BB” is won in the bonus non-established gaming state, the game proceeds to the bonus established gaming state. In this embodiment, the winning probability of the winning type “BB” is set to about 1/3, for example, and the winning type “BB” is won with relatively few games, so the stay period in the non-bonus game state is shortened.

(Bonus formation gaming state)
The bonus established gaming state is a gaming state that shifts from the bonus non-established gaming state only and continues until the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “BB” is displayed on the active line A. During this time, the BB internal winning flag is maintained. In the bonus established gaming state, the winning probability of the winning type “normal replay” is higher than that in the bonus non-achieving gaming state, and is set to, for example, about 1 / 3.8.

  In the present embodiment, as will be described later, a normal AT game and a pseudo bonus game are realized by the sub control board 202 while maintaining the bonus established gaming state on the main control board 200. Therefore, the winning probability of the winning type lottery in the bonus established gaming state is adjusted so as not to easily transition from the bonus established gaming state to the bonus gaming state.

  In the bonus established gaming state, the winning type lottery means 304 can perform replay even in a game in which the BB internal winning flag is carried over, as can be understood with reference to the bonus established gaming state winning type lottery table shown in FIG. A lottery and small role are drawn. Therefore, when the replay role or small role is won by the winning type lottery, both the replay role and small role winning flag and the BB internal winning flag are established. Here, in this embodiment, the priority order is determined in the order of replay combination> small combination> bonus combination. That is, in a game in which a winning type including a replay role or a small role is won, the reel control means 306 performs stop control so that the symbol combination corresponding to the replay role or the small role is displayed on the active line A, The symbol combination corresponding to the combination “BB” is not displayed on the active line A even if the player aims.

  Here, referring to the winning type lottery table for the bonus establishment gaming state in FIG. 9, in the bonus establishment gaming state, any one of the replay combination, the small combination, and the loss is won. In the present embodiment, by setting the winning probability of the loss to 1/65536, for example, either the replay combination or the small combination will be won. Then, as described above, the symbol combination corresponding to the replay combination or small combination is given priority, and the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “BB” cannot be displayed on the active line A. In addition, it is possible to display the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “BB” on the active line A only in the game where the winning type including the replay role and the small role is not won. The symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “BB” is prevented from being displayed on the active line A by making it impossible to grasp that the player has lost. In addition, even if the winning type lottery is lost, when the player randomly operates, the winning combination “BB” in which only one symbol or two consecutive symbols are written on each of the rotating reels 134a, 134b, 134c There is little possibility that the corresponding symbol combination is displayed. In this way, it is possible to reduce the situation in which the player must intentionally avoid winning the winning combination “BB”, and to easily maintain the bonus established gaming state while reducing the burdensome operation burden on the player. .

  In addition, in the bonus establishment game state, as described above, almost either the replay role or the small role is won, and the replay role is won with a high probability of about 1 / 3.8. When a player's consumption of medals is suppressed and a normal AT game or a pseudo bonus game is realized, the correct operation mode is notified by an auxiliary effect, so that the player can acquire medals. Here, since the replay role is already won with a high probability of about 1 / 3.8, the normal AT game or the pseudo bonus game is executed without executing RT (replay time) or the like that increases the win probability of the replay role. Only can be started quickly.

(Bonus game state)
The bonus game state is a game state in which a transition is made when the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus combination is displayed on the active line A and continues until a predetermined number (for example, 26) of medals are paid out. In such a bonus game state, the winning type lottery table is not set, and the winning type lottery results by the winning type lottery means 304 are all lost. However, regardless of the result of the winning type lottery, the corresponding symbol combinations are forcibly set to small combinations that can be displayed on the active line A in all lottery results. Therefore, in the bonus game, the player can always receive a predetermined number of medals. However, in the present embodiment, since the number of payouts is equal to the specified number of insertions (here, 2), the number of medals obtained by the bonus game is ± 0. Further, in this embodiment, since the auxiliary effect is not executed in the bonus non-achieved game state after the bonus game is ended, the player's medal is often reduced.

  On the other hand, in the bonus established gaming state, an auxiliary effect is executed in a normal AT game or a pseudo bonus game, which will be described later, so that an increase in medals can be expected. Therefore, the player avoids the transition of the gaming state from the bonus established gaming state to the bonus gaming state, and tries to maintain the bonus established gaming state for a long period of time. In this way, while maintaining the gaming state managed by the main control board 200 in the bonus establishment gaming state, the normal AT game and the pseudo bonus game by the sub control board 202 can be realized in the bonus establishment gaming state.

(Sub-control board 202)
Referring back to FIG. 4, the sub control board 202, like the main control board 200, includes a sub CPU 202a that is a central processing unit, a sub ROM 202b that stores programs, a sub RAM 202c that functions as a work area, and the like. It has a semiconductor integrated circuit and controls the production based on commands from the main control board 200. Similarly to the main RAM 200c, a backup power source (not shown) is connected to the sub RAM 202c, and even when the power is turned off, data is retained without being erased. The sub-control board 202 is also provided with a random number generator 202d as in the case of the main control board 200, and the random number generated by the random number generator 202d (hereinafter referred to as a production lottery random number) mainly has a mode of production. Used to determine.

  Further, the sub control board 202 functions by the sub CPU 202a cooperating with the sub RAM 202c based on the program stored in the sub ROM 202b. , Function determining means 336, effect executing means 338 and the like.

  The initialization determining unit 330 executes initialization processing in the sub control board 202. The command receiving means 332 receives commands from other control boards such as the main control board 200 and performs processing for the commands. The secondary gaming state transition means 334 determines one gaming state from a plurality of gaming states including a specific game advantageous to the player based on the winning type command, and transitions the gaming state. Here, the specific game refers to, for example, a normal AT game or a pseudo bonus game in which an auxiliary effect is executed, in which the game proceeds advantageously with respect to the player. A state in which a specific game is being executed is referred to as a specific game state. Further, the sub game state transition means 334 causes the game state managed by the sub control board 202 including the specific game to transition.

  The effect determining means 336 receives the detection signal from the effect switch 132 and determines the effect of the game performed on each device of the liquid crystal display unit 138, the speaker 140, and the effect lamp 142 based on the winning type command. Specifically, the effect determining unit 336 includes image data displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 138, an effect lamp 142, a reel backlight 144, a reel upper light 146, a sub credit display unit 156, a sub payout display unit 158, and the like. In addition to determining the illumination data for presentation through the illumination device, the audio data constituting the audio to be output from the speaker 140 is determined. The effect execution means 338 executes the determined game effect. Each functional unit will be described in detail later.

  The effects include an effect executed by the main control board 200 such as the reel effect described above and an effect executed by the sub-control board 202. The effects executed by the sub control board 202 are as the game progresses, the liquid crystal display unit 138, the speaker 140, the effect lamp 142, the reel backlight 144, the reel upper light 146, the sub credit display unit 156, and the sub payout display unit. 158 is a visual and auditory expression means provided through 158 and the like, which can give a story to the game and can suggest a lottery result of the winning type with a more dynamic image. In such an effect, for example, an effect suggesting winning of a normal AT game or a pseudo bonus game is performed over a plurality of games, and the player's expectation can be enhanced. Also, even if you haven't won any of the winning categories, you can make the player have a high expectation of a high payout through the performance as if the niece is winning, so that the player will not get bored. It becomes possible.

  In addition, there is an auxiliary effect as an effect that suggests the above-described winning type lottery result. For example, in the bonus establishment gaming state, when the winning type “batting order bell” in the winning area 8 to 23 in the bonus type gaming state winning type lottery table shown in FIG. It is impossible to grasp the correct operation mode (which can win the winning combination “normal bell”). Therefore, if the player simply stops the left reel 134a, the middle reel 134b, and the right reel 134c, the symbol combination corresponding to the selected winning combination based on the correct operation mode is not necessarily displayed on the active line A. It is not always possible. Here, the effect execution means 338 executes the auxiliary effect before the player performs the stop operation and notifies the correct operation mode, so that the player can acquire many medals.

  In the present embodiment, the effect moving image is processed in the sub control board 202, but the image including still images and moving images displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 138 has an enormous amount of data and processing load associated with the display. For this reason, there is a case where the effect moving image is processed separately by interposing a liquid crystal control board.

(Game state transition)
FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the state transition of the gaming state. Hereinafter, the gaming state (normal gaming state, normal AT gaming state, pseudo bonus gaming state) that is transitioned by the secondary gaming state transition means 334 on the secondary control board 202 will be described in detail. In the present embodiment, a normal normal gaming state and a chance normal gaming state are provided as the normal gaming state, a normal AT gaming state and a chance AT gaming state are provided as the normal AT gaming state, and a pseudo bonus gaming state. Are provided with a big bonus game state and a regular bonus game state.

(Normal game state)
The normal gaming state is a gaming state corresponding to an initial state among a plurality of gaming states managed by the sub control board 202. When the normal game state is executed, the main control board 200 is in the bonus established game state, so that the winning probability of the replay role or small role is set high. Since it is lower than the normal AT gaming state and the pseudo bonus gaming state and almost no auxiliary effect is performed, the number of medals that can be acquired is limited.

  Further, in the normal gaming state, the operation of the stop button switches 130a, 130b, 130c is limited to a valid operation mode (batting order 1 or batting order 2) in order to reduce the expected number of games, and the player If the operation is performed in an irregular operation mode (batting order 3 to 6) other than the legitimate operating mode, for example, until the predetermined number of games is consumed, the winning probability of the normal AT game or the pseudo bonus game is set low, When the predetermined number of games is consumed, a penalty that the game progresses disadvantageously, such as temporarily stopping the number of games to be counted under the condition that a gaming privilege is given, will be imposed.

  In the normal game state, a normal normal game state and a chance normal game state are provided, and the secondary game state transition means 334 shifts the game state to the chance normal game state at a predetermined opportunity in the normal normal game state (1 ) When the predetermined number of games is consumed, the normal game state is restored (2). Further, the secondary gaming state transition means 334 can shift the gaming state to the pseudo bonus gaming state (big bonus gaming state or regular bonus gaming state) in the normal normal gaming state (3). Further, the secondary gaming state transition means 334 can shift the gaming state to the normal AT gaming state in any of the normal normal gaming state and the chance normal gaming state (4). However, it is easy to shift from the normal normal gaming state to the normal AT gaming state. For example, in any of the chance normal gaming state and the normal normal gaming state, when it is determined by lottery whether to shift to the normal AT gaming state based on the winning type determined by the winning type lottery, The probability of shifting to the normal AT gaming state associated with each winning category is higher in the chance normal gaming state than in the normal normal gaming state. Specifically, when the winning type “Cherry” is won by the winning type lottery, the probability of shifting to the normal AT gaming state in the chance normal gaming state is higher than the probability of shifting to the normal AT gaming state in the normal normal gaming state. About 20 times higher. Therefore, when winning type “Cherry” is won, there is a possibility that in the normal normal gaming state, there is a possibility of entering the pseudo bonus gaming state with the same probability as the normal AT gaming state. In the gaming state, even if the possibility of transition to the pseudo bonus gaming state is subtracted, the gaming profit in the chance normal gaming state is greater than that in the normal normal gaming state. Therefore, the player desires to stay in the chance normal game state rather than the normal normal game state. Further, when the predetermined number of games is consumed in the normal game state without shifting to the normal AT game state or the pseudo bonus game state (so-called ceiling arrival), the secondary game state transition means 334 changes the game state to the normal AT game state. Transition to the normal AT gaming state of the state.

(Normal AT gaming state)
The normal AT gaming state is a gaming state that shifts from the normal gaming state or the pseudo bonus gaming state, and an auxiliary effect is performed by the sub control board 202. In addition, the normal AT gaming state is managed by the number of continuations that is the (upper limit) number of games that can maintain the normal AT gaming state, and the number of games since the start of the normal AT gaming state reaches the set number of continuations. It ends by doing. Further, in the normal AT gaming state, the number of continuations is added and a lottery is also performed, and the number of continuations is extended by winning. Here, when the number of continuations is added, the normal AT gaming state is maintained for a long time by the added number of games, and the player can proceed with the game advantageously. Further, in the normal AT gaming state, after the number of games reaches the number of continuations and once it is finished, a continuous lottery is performed as to whether or not to transition to the normal AT gaming state again, that is, whether or not to repeat the normal AT gaming state. You can also.

  In the normal AT gaming state, since the bonus control gaming state is in the main control board 200, the winning probability of the replay role or small role is set high, and the correct operation mode is notified by the auxiliary effect, It is possible to obtain many medals while suppressing the consumption of. In addition, since the normal AT game is executed on the same sub-control board 202, the normal AT game can be started immediately after winning the normal AT game.

  In the normal AT gaming state, no penalty is imposed as in the normal gaming state. In the normal AT gaming state, when the selected winning combination is duplicated, the correct operation mode is notified to win the selected winning combination based on the correct operation mode, and the player can acquire a medal. Yes. Therefore, the irregular operation mode corresponding to the correct operation mode cannot be penalized.

  In the normal AT gaming state, a normal AT gaming state and a chance AT gaming state are provided, and the secondary gaming state transition means 334 shifts the gaming state to the chance AT gaming state at a predetermined opportunity in the normal AT gaming state ( 5) When the predetermined number of games is consumed, the normal AT gaming state is restored (6), and the number of games in the normal AT gaming state is resumed. Further, the secondary gaming state transition means 334 can shift the gaming state to a pseudo bonus gaming state (a big bonus gaming state or a regular bonus gaming state) in any of the normal AT gaming state and the chance AT gaming state. However, (7), the chance AT gaming state is easier to shift to the pseudo bonus gaming state than the normal AT gaming state. For example, in any game state of the chance AT gaming state and the normal AT gaming state, when it is determined by lottery whether to shift to the pseudo bonus gaming state based on the winning type determined by the winning type lottery, The probability of shifting to the pseudo bonus gaming state associated with each winning category is higher in the chance AT gaming state than in the normal AT gaming state. Specifically, when the winning type “Cherry” is won by the winning type lottery, the probability of shifting to the pseudo bonus gaming state in the chance AT gaming state is higher than the probability of shifting to the pseudo bonus gaming state in the normal AT gaming state. About 20 times higher. Therefore, the player desires to stay in the chance AT gaming state rather than the normal AT gaming state. When the number of games in the normal AT gaming state is set and the continuation count that is the number of games that can maintain the normal AT gaming state (upper limit) is reached, the normal AT gaming state ends. However, since the secondary gaming state transition means 334 shifts to the chance normal gaming state at the end of the normal AT gaming state (8), the player can expect to return to the normal AT gaming state. Further, in the normal AT gaming state, after the number of games reaches the number of continuations and once it is finished, a continuous lottery is performed as to whether or not to transition to the normal AT gaming state again, that is, whether or not to repeat the normal AT gaming state. You can also.

(Pseudo bonus game state)
The pseudo bonus game state is a game state in which the winning combination “Big Replay” or the winning combination “Regular Replay” is displayed on the active line A, and transitions from the normal gaming state or the normal AT gaming state. An auxiliary effect is performed by the sub control board 202. The pseudo bonus game state ends when the number of times of navigation, which is the number of games for notifying the correct operation mode by the auxiliary effect, has reached the set number of times of navigation. In the pseudo bonus game state, a big bonus game state and a regular bonus game state are provided. In the big bonus game state, the number of times of navigation at the start of the pseudo bonus game state is larger than that in the regular bonus game state. Therefore, the player desires to play in the big bonus game state rather than the regular bonus game state. When the pseudo bonus game state ends, the game state before the start of the pseudo bonus game state is restored. Therefore, if the gaming state before the start of the pseudo bonus gaming state is the normal AT gaming state, the secondary gaming state transition means 334 returns the gaming state to the normal AT gaming state (9), and if the gaming state is the chance AT gaming state, the chance Return to the AT gaming state (10), and if it is the normal normal gaming state, return to the normal normal gaming state (11). However, the sub game state transition means 334 may return the game state to the chance normal game state by satisfying a predetermined condition only when the game state before the start of the pseudo bonus game state is the normal normal game state (12). ).

  In the pseudo bonus game state, as in the normal AT game state, since the bonus control game state is set in the main control board 200, the winning probability of the replay role or small role is set high, and the correct operation mode is notified by the auxiliary effect. By doing so, it becomes possible to acquire many medals while suppressing consumption of medals.

  As described above, the gaming state managed by the main control board 200 is almost in the bonus establishment gaming state, and on the condition that it is the bonus establishment gaming state, the sub control board 202 changes the gaming state to the normal state. Transition is made between a gaming state, a normal AT gaming state, and a pseudo bonus gaming state. However, there is a possibility that the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “BB” may be displayed on the active line A, and the gaming state managed by the main control board 200 may transition from the bonus established gaming state to the bonus gaming state. . Since the sub-control board 202 can grasp the gaming state on the main control board 200, when the bonus established gaming state transitions to the bonus gaming state, the gaming state of the sub-control board 202 is temporarily stopped and an auxiliary effect is produced. Do not do. Then, when the main control board 200 transitions from the non-bonus established gaming state to the bonus established gaming state, the gaming state of the sub control board 202 is resumed.

  Note that, when the normal gaming state or the normal AT gaming state is shifted to the pseudo bonus gaming state, the reel control unit 136 may perform a special reel effect that rotates the rotating reels 134a, 134b, and 134c in a special manner.

(Table used in sub-control board 202)
The sub ROM 202b stores a plurality of game lottery tables and the like. The sub gaming state transition means 334 extracts a corresponding gaming state lottery table from the sub ROM 202b based on the winning type determined by the winning type lottery means 304, and selects a predetermined game based on the extracted gaming state lottery table. It is determined whether or not it corresponds.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a gaming state lottery table, where FIG. 12A is used for a normal normal gaming state, FIG. 12B is used for a chance normal gaming state, and FIG. The normal AT gaming state is used, and FIG. 12D is used for the chance AT gaming state. Although the game state lottery table is originally different for each lottery result of the winning type lottery even in the same gaming state, here, for convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the game state lottery table is not affected by the lottery result of the winning type lottery. In each gaming state lottery table, a plurality of winning areas are divided, and each of the divided winning areas is associated with a predetermined winning range value and a game, and all the assigned areas are assigned to each gaming state. When the winning range values in the winning area are totaled, the total number of production lottery random numbers (65536) is obtained. Therefore, the probability that each of the specific game and the loss is won is a value obtained by dividing the winning range value associated with the winning area by the total number of effect lottery random numbers. For example, in the gaming state lottery table for the normal normal gaming state in FIG. 12A, five winning areas are sectioned, and the winning probability of each game differs depending on the winning range value for each winning area. .

  Comparing the gaming state lottery table for normal normal gaming state in FIG. 12 (a) with the gaming state lottery table for chance normal gaming state in FIG. Big bonus games and regular bonus games are not determined by lottery unlike the gaming state lottery table. In addition, since the transition from the chance normal game state to the normal normal game state is made by digestion of a predetermined number of games, the normal normal game is not determined by lottery. However, the winning range value for the normal AT game in the game state lottery table for chance normal gaming state is set to a value larger than the winning range value for the normal AT game in the normal state gaming state lottery table. Further, when the gaming state lottery table for the normal AT gaming state in FIG. 12C and the gaming state lottery table for the chance AT gaming state in FIG. 12D are compared, it is predetermined from the chance AT gaming state to the normal AT gaming state. Therefore, the normal AT game is not determined by lottery in the chance AT gaming state gaming state lottery table. In the normal AT gaming state lottery table of FIG. 12C, for the convenience of explanation, the chance AT game is directly lottery. A lottery is entered for the transition to the lottery area where the number of games continues, and a chance AT game is further drawn in the lottery area.

(Regular bonus game state transition from normal AT game state)
FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining the extra effect of the regular bonus gaming state that shifts from the normal AT gaming state. In the regular bonus gaming state that shifts from the normal AT gaming state, an extra effect is provided for adding the number of times the normal AT gaming state is continued. In this extra production, if the winning type “batting order bell” is won, hints on the correct operation mode of the winning role “normal bell” will be given, and the player will operate in the correct operation mode so that the number of continuations of the normal AT gaming state It is something to add on.

  For example, a case will be described in which the correct operation mode in which the winning type “ordinary bell 1” is won on the main control board 200 and the winning combination “normal bell” can be won is the batting order 3. As shown in FIG. 13 (a), in the regular bonus game state transitioning from the normal AT game state, when the winning type “bell 1 in batting order” is won by the winning type lottery, the sub control board 202 has the effect determining means 336. However, in the liquid crystal display unit 138, “x” is displayed at a position corresponding to the left reel 134a, “?” Is displayed at a position corresponding to the middle reel 134b and the right reel 134c, and it corresponds to the middle reel 134b and the right reel 134c. Either the stop button switch 130b or the stop button switch 130c is operated.

  When the player operates the stop button switch 130b and the reel control means 306 stops the middle reel 134b, the effect determining means 336 is displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 138 as shown in FIG. “◯” is displayed at a position corresponding to the middle reel 134b, “?” Is displayed at positions corresponding to the left reel 134a and the right reel 134c, and a stop button switch 130a and a stop button switch corresponding to the left reel 134a and the right reel 134c. Either of 130c is operated. When the player operates the stop button switch 130a and the reel control means 306 stops the left reel 134a, the player is operated in a correct operation mode that can win the winning combination “normal bell”. The effect determining means 336 displays, for example, “+ 10G” on the liquid crystal display unit 138 after the reel control means 306 stops the right reel 134c, and notifies that the number of times of normal AT gaming state has been added 10 times. The secondary gaming state transition means 334 adds the number of continuations of the normal AT gaming state 10 times. When the player operates in a mode other than the correct operation mode, the effect determining unit 336 finishes the additional effect in the one game, and the auxiliary game state transition unit 334 determines the number of times of normal AT gaming state continuation. Do not add.

When the operation to be displayed above (batting order 1, 2) is performed, the off condition is established.

  As shown in FIG. 14, in the normal gaming state in the bonus establishment gaming state, as the output stage, the initial stage (A), the batting order bell one correct answer stage (B), the batting order bell twice correct answer stage (C), the first AT signal It stays in any of the preparation stage (D), the second AT signal preparation stage (E), the first BN signal preparation stage (F), and the second BN signal preparation stage (G). These stages (A) to (G) are collectively referred to as a signal off stage (X). Further, the first AT signal preparation stage (D) and the second AT signal preparation stage (E) are collectively referred to as AT signal preparation stage (Y), and the first BN signal preparation stage (F) and the second BN signal preparation stage (G) are referred to. Collectively, it is also called a BN signal preparation stage.

  In the normal gaming state in the bonus established gaming state, after the execution of the normal AT game is decided on the sub control board 202 and the auxiliary effect is executed, the main control board 200 is turned on when the winning type “batting order bell” is won. When the condition 1 is satisfied twice consecutively and the ON condition 3 is satisfied once, the external output means 318 outputs an AT signal indicating that the normal AT game is being performed to the outside.

  For example, while staying in the initial stage (A), which is the first stage where none of the stage transition conditions are satisfied, the winning type “batting order bell” is won in the main control board 200 and the sub-control board 202 The auxiliary effect is executed, and an operation (batting order 3, 4, 5 or 6) for displaying the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “normal bell” on the effective line A is notified, and the player performs the operations of batting orders 3 to 6 When the ON condition 1 is established according to the execution, the main control board 200 shifts the output stage to the correct order stage (B) of the batting order bell once (1). Further, while the output stage stays in the correct answer stage (B) once in the batting order bell, the winning type “batting order bell” is won in the main control board 200, and the auxiliary effect is executed in the sub control board 202, and the winning combination An operation for displaying the symbol combination corresponding to “normal bell” on the effective line A (hitting order 3, 4, 5 or 6) is notified. Then, when the ON condition 1 is satisfied in response to the player performing the operations of the batting orders 3 to 6, the main control board 200 shifts the output stage to the batting order bell twice correct answer stage (C) (2).

  Further, while staying in the correct answer stage (C) twice in the batting order bell, the winning types “special replay 1”, “special replay 2”, “bonus replay 1”, and “bonus replay 2” are displayed on the main control board 200. The winning effect is executed on the sub-control board 202, the batting order 2 is notified in the operation of displaying the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “normal replay” on the effective line A on the sub-control board 202, and the player When the ON condition 3 is satisfied in response to the operation of the batting order 2, the main control board 200 changes the output stage from the batting order bell twice correct answer stage (C) to the first AT stage (H) (3), External output means 318 outputs the AT signal to the outside.

  Further, while staying in the initial stage (A) or the batting order bell correct answer stage (B), the main control board 200 receives the winning types “special replay 1”, “special replay 2”, “bonus replay 1”, “Bonus Replay 2” is won, an auxiliary effect is executed on the sub-control board 202, and the batting order 2 of the operations for displaying the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “ordinary replay” on the active line A on the sub-control board 202 is When the ON condition 3 is established in response to the notification and the player has performed the batting order 2 operation, the main control board 200 sets the output stage to the initial stage (A) when staying in the initial stage (A). ) To the first AT signal preparation stage (D) (4), and, when staying in the correct answer stage (B) once in the batting order bell, preparing the second AT signal from the correct answer stage (B) in the batting order bell To transition to the floor (E) (5). Further, while staying in the first AT signal preparation stage (D), the winning type “batting order bell” is won in the main control board 200, and the auxiliary effect is executed in the sub-control board 202, and the winning combination “normal bell” is executed. When an operation (in order of batting order 3, 4, 5 or 6) for displaying the symbol combination corresponding to is performed on the active line A is notified, and the on condition 1 is established in response to the player performing the operations of batting order 3 to 6 The main control board 200 shifts the output stage to the second AT signal preparation stage (E) (6). Further, while the output stage stays in the second AT signal preparation stage (E), the winning type “batting order bell” is won in the main control board 200, and the auxiliary effect is executed in the sub-control board 202, and the winning combination “ An operation for displaying the symbol combination corresponding to “normal bell” on the active line A (batting order 3, 4, 5 or 6) is notified, and the on-condition 1 according to the player performing the operations of batting orders 3 to 6 When is established, the main control board 200 shifts the output stage to the first AT stage (H) (7), and the external output means 318 outputs the AT signal to the outside.

  In the bonus establishment game state, execution of the big bonus game and the regular bonus game is determined in the sub control board 202, and after the auxiliary effect is executed, the main control board 200 is turned on when the winning type “batting order bell” is won. When the condition 1 is satisfied twice and the ON condition 1 is satisfied twice and the ON condition 2 is satisfied once, the external output means 318 indicates that a big bonus game or a regular bonus game is being performed. Output the signal to the outside.

  For example, if the ON condition 1 is satisfied while staying in the initial stage (A), the main control board 200 determines the order of the output stages in the same manner as when the execution of the normal AT is determined in the sub control board 202. Transition to the bell correct answer stage (B) once (1). Further, when the ON stage 1 is satisfied in the correct answer stage (B) in which the output stage is the batting order bell once, the output stage is changed in the main control board 200 as in the case where the execution of the normal AT is determined in the sub control board 202. Transition to the correct answer stage (C) (2) Also, while staying in the correct answer stage (C) twice in the batting order bell, the winning types “bonus replay 1” and “bonus replay 2” are won on the main control board 200, and the auxiliary effect is executed on the sub control board 202. Then, the sub-control board 202 is notified of an operation (batting order 3 to 6) for displaying the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “Big Replay” and “Regular Replay” on the effective line A, and the player has the batting order 3 to 6 When the ON condition 2 is satisfied in response to the execution of the operation, the main control board 200 causes the output stage to transit from the batting order bell twice correct stage (C) to the first BN stage (I) (8), and external output means 318 outputs the BN signal to the outside.

  Further, while staying in the initial stage (A) or the batting order bell correct answer stage (B), the winning types “bonus replay 1” and “bonus replay 2” are won in the main control board 200, and the sub-control board. In 202, an auxiliary effect is executed, and the sub-control board 202 is notified of an operation (batting order 3 to 6) for displaying the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “Big Replay” and “Regular Replay” on the active line A. When the ON condition 2 is established in response to the operations of the batting orders 3 to 6, the main control board 200 changes the output stage from the initial stage (A) to the first stage (A) when staying in the initial stage (A). Transition to the 1BN signal preparatory stage (F) (9), and, when staying in the correct answer stage (B) once in the batting order bell, the output stage is changed from the correct answer stage (B) to the second BN signal level. Step (G) to transition (10). Further, while staying in the first BN signal preparation stage (F), the winning types “bonus replay 1” and “bonus replay 2” are won in the main control board 200, and the auxiliary effect is executed in the sub control board 202. The sub-control board 202 is notified of an operation (batting order 3 to 6) for displaying the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “Big Replay” and “Regular Replay” on the effective line A, and the player performs the operations of the batting orders 3 to 6 When the on-condition 2 is established in response to the execution of, the main control board 200 shifts the output stage to the second BN signal preparation stage (G) (11). Further, while the output stage stays in the second BN signal preparation stage (G), the winning types “bonus replay 1” and “bonus replay 2” are won in the main control board 200 and the auxiliary control board 202 has the auxiliary effect. Is executed, and the operation (display order 3 to 6) of displaying the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “Big Replay” and “Regular Replay” on the effective line A is notified on the sub-control board 202, and the player is in the order 3 to When the ON condition 2 is satisfied in response to the execution of the operation 6, the main control board 200 shifts the output stage to the first BN stage (I) (12), and the external output means 318 sends the BN signal to the outside. Output.

  In this way, after the execution of the normal AT game is decided and the auxiliary effect is executed on the sub control board 202, the ON condition 1 is continuously executed twice on the main control board 202 when the winning type “batting order bell” is won. If the ON condition 3 is satisfied once, the AT signal is output to the outside regardless of the order in which the ON condition 3 is satisfied, and execution of the normal AT game is determined in the sub-control board 202 and the auxiliary effect is executed. Thereafter, in the main control board 202, when the winning type “batting order bell” is won, if the ON condition 1 is continuously established twice and the ON condition 2 is satisfied once, the BN signal is output regardless of the order of establishment. Since it is output to the outside, the AT signal and the BN signal are externally generated by an erroneous operation on the stop switch 130 by the player even though the normal AT game and the pseudo bonus game are not started. It can be prevented from being output. Further, the AT signal and the BN signal corresponding to the normal AT game and the pseudo bonus game can be output appropriately and immediately.

  By the way, while the pseudo bonus game is won in the sub control board 202 and stays in the initial stage (A) and the correct answer stage (B) once in the batting order bell, the win type “bonus replay 1”, When “Bonus Replay 2” is won, an auxiliary effect is executed on the sub-control board 202, and an operation for displaying the symbol combinations corresponding to the winning roles “Big Replay” and “Regular Replay” on the active line A on the sub-control board 202. Among them, the batting orders 3 to 6 are notified. Here, the ON condition 2 is established in response to the player performing the operations in batting order 3 to 6, and the main control board 200 changes the output stage from the initial stage (A) to the first BN signal preparation stage (F). The transition is made (9), and the batting order bell once correct answer stage (B) is changed to the second BN signal preparation stage (G) (10). However, if the player accidentally operates in batting order 2, the on condition 3 is satisfied, and the main control board 200 changes the output stage from the initial stage (A) to the first AT signal preparation stage (D) ( 4) Also, the batting order bell once correct answer stage (B) makes a transition to the second AT signal preparation stage (E) (5). Therefore, when the player mistakenly operates and the ON condition 3 is satisfied and the output stage is shifted to the first AT signal preparation stage (D) and the second AT signal preparation stage (E), the main control board 200 The winning types “bonus replay 1” and “bonus replay 2” are won, the auxiliary effect is executed on the sub-control board 202, and the symbol combinations corresponding to the winning roles “big replay” and “regular replay” are executed on the sub-control board 202. Is displayed on the active line A, and when the ON condition 2 is established in response to the player performing the operations of the batting orders 3 to 6, the main control board 200 performs the first AT. When staying in the signal preparation stage (D), the output stage is shifted from the first AT signal preparation stage (D) to the first BN signal preparation stage (F) (13), and the second If you are staying in T signal output preparation step (E) to transition from the first 2AT signal output preparation step (E) to the 2BN signal output preparation step (G) (15).

  Also, while the normal AT game is won on the sub-control board 202 and stays in the initial stage (A) and the correct answer stage (B) once in the batting order bell, the winning type “bonus replay 1”, When “bonus replay 2” is won, an auxiliary effect is executed on the sub-control board 202, and the batting order 2 of the operations for displaying the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “normal replay” on the effective line A is shown on the sub-control board 202. Informed. Here, the ON condition 3 is established in response to the player performing the batting order 2 operation, and the main control board 200 changes the output stage from the initial stage (A) to the first AT signal preparation stage (D). (4) Also, the batting order bell is changed from the correct answer stage (B) to the second AT signal preparation stage (E) (5). However, if the player accidentally operates in any of the batting orders 3 to 6, the ON condition 2 is satisfied, and the main control board 200 changes the output stage from the initial stage (A) to the first BN signal preparation stage (F ) (9), and a transition to the second BN signal preparation stage (G) from the correct answer stage (B) once in the batting order bell (10). Therefore, when the player mistakenly operates and ON condition 2 is satisfied and the output stage transitions to the first BN signal preparation stage (F) and the second BN signal preparation stage (G), the main control board 200 The winning types “special replay 1”, “special replay 2”, “bonus replay 1”, and “bonus replay 2” are won, and an auxiliary effect is executed on the sub-control board 202. When the batting order 2 is notified among the operations for displaying the symbol combination corresponding to “Replay” on the effective line A, and the on condition 3 is established in response to the player performing the batting order 2 operation, the main control board 200 When the first BN signal preparation stage (F) is stayed, the output stage is changed from the first BN signal preparation stage (F) to the first AT signal preparation stage (D) (14). If you are staying in 2BN signal output preparation step (G) transitions the output stage from the 2BN signal output preparation step (G) to the 2AT signal output preparation step (E) (16). In this way, even if an incorrect operation mode is performed by the player while the auxiliary performance is being performed and the game state is changed to the preparatory stage of the game state, the normal AT game and the simulation are quickly performed. An AT signal and a BN signal corresponding to each bonus game can be output.

  Further, in the normal gaming state where the auxiliary effect is not performed on the sub-control board 202, the batting order 2 corresponding to pinching is a legitimate operation mode, so that the winning types “special replay 1” and “special” are selected on the main control board 200. When “Replay 2”, “Bonus Replay 1”, and “Bonus Replay 2” are selected and operated in the batting order 2 corresponding to pinching, the ON condition 3 is satisfied, and the output stage stays at the initial stage (A). If it is, the transition is made to the first AT signal preparation stage (D) (4), and if it is staying at the correct answer stage (B) once the batting order bell, the transition is made to the second AT signal preparation stage (E). (5) Therefore, while staying at the first AT signal preparation stage (D) and the second AT signal preparation stage (E), the winning types “special replay 1”, “special replay 2”, “bonus replay 1” are selected on the main control board 200. When “bonus replay 2” is won and operated in batting order 1, clear condition 1 is satisfied, and the output stage is shifted to the initial stage (A) (17).

  Further, even if neither the pseudo bonus game nor the normal AT game is won on the sub-control board 202, the legitimate operation can be performed while staying at any stage of the signal off stage (X). By performing the operation in an irregular operation mode (batting order 3 to batting order 6) other than the mode, it is possible that any of the ON conditions 1 to 3 is satisfied and the output stage is changed. For example, while staying in the initial stage (A), the winning type “batting order bell” is won on the main control board 200, and the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “normal bell” is displayed on the effective line A. If the operation is performed in an irregular operation mode (batting order 3 to batting order 6) other than the normal operation mode, the main control board 200 satisfies the ON condition 1 and causes the output stage to transition to the batting order bell once correct answer (1). . Therefore, while staying at any stage of the signal off stage (X), the winning type “batting order bell” is won on the main control board 200, and other than the correct operation mode in which the winning combination “normal bell” can be won. Is performed, the clear condition 2 is established, and the output stage is shifted to the initial stage (A) (18). Thus, although the normal AT game and the pseudo bonus game are not started, the output stage is unintentionally shifted from the initial stage (A) to another output stage due to an erroneous operation on the stop switch 130 by the player. However, it is possible to quickly return to the initial stage (A) and prevent the AT signal and the BN signal from being output to the outside.

  By the way, in the sub-control board 202, when the set number of continuations is reached, the normal AT game ends and the auxiliary effect ends. However, at this time, the main control board 200 has not yet grasped the end of the normal AT game. When the auxiliary effect ends, it becomes difficult for the player to display the selected winning combination based on the correct operation mode on the active line A. In particular, if the proper operation mode (batting order 1 or batting order 2) is observed, the selection winning combination based on the correct answer operating mode is always missed. Therefore, when the winning type “batting order bell” is won, the operation in the proper operation mode (batting order 1, 2) is continuously performed twice, so that the main control board 202 ends the normal AT gaming state. Know what you did. Specifically, while the output stage stays in the first AT stage (H), the winning type “batting order bell” is won on the main control board 200, and the winning role “special bell 6” to the winning role “special bell”. When the operation is performed in the proper operation mode (batting order 1 and 2) for displaying the symbol combination corresponding to “13” on the effective line A, the main control board 200 shifts to the second AT stage (J). (19). In addition, while staying in the second AT stage (J), the winning type “batting order bell” is won on the main control board 200, and the symbols corresponding to the winning combination “Special Bell 6” to the winning combination “Special Bell 13”. When the operation is performed in a proper operation mode (batting order 1, 2) for displaying the combination on the effective line A, the off condition is established, and the main control board 200 shifts the output stage to the initial stage (A) (20). The external output means 318 stops outputting the AT signal to the outside.

  On the sub-control board 202, when the prescribed number of navigation times is reached, the pseudo bonus game is ended and the auxiliary effect is ended. However, at this time, the main control board 200 has not yet grasped the end of the pseudo bonus game. When the auxiliary effect ends, it becomes difficult for the player to display the selected winning combination based on the correct operation mode on the active line A. In particular, if the proper operation mode (batting order 1 or batting order 2) is observed, the selection winning combination based on the correct answer operating mode is always missed. Therefore, when the winning type “batting order bell” is won, the main control board 202 ends the pseudo bonus game state by performing the operation in the proper operation mode (batting order 1, 2) continuously twice. Know what you did. Specifically, while the output stage stays in the first BN stage (I), the winning type “batting order bell” is won on the main control board 200, and the winning combination “special bell 6” to the winning combination “special bell”. When the operation is performed in the proper operation mode (batting order 1, 2) for displaying the symbol combination corresponding to “13” on the effective line A, the off condition is established, and the main control board 200 sets the output stage to the second BN stage (L (21). Further, while the output stage stays at the second BN stage (L), the winning type “batting order bell” is won on the main control board 200, and the winning combination “Special Bell 6” to the winning combination “Special Bell 13” is won. When an operation is performed in a proper operation mode (batting order 1, 2) for displaying the corresponding symbol combination on the effective line A, the off condition is established, and the main control board 200 changes the output stage to the initial stage (A). (22) The external output means 318 stops the output of the BN signal to the outside. In this way, in a game won in the selected winning combination based on the correct operation mode, if the legitimate operating mode in which the selected winning combination is not displayed on the active line A is continued twice, the main control board 200 thereby causes the normal AT game to be played. It grasps that the state and the pseudo bonus game state have ended, and stops outputting an external signal to that effect.

  Further, as described above, the gaming state can be shifted to the pseudo bonus gaming state even in the AT gaming state on the sub control board 202. Therefore, after the pseudo bonus game is won in the AT gaming state on the sub control board 202 while staying in the first AT stage (H), the winning types “bonus replay 1” and “bonus replay 2” are played on the main control board 200. ”Is won and an auxiliary effect is executed on the sub-control board 202, and the sub-control board 202 is operated to display the symbol combinations corresponding to the winning roles“ Big Replay ”and“ Regular Replay ”on the effective line A (batting order 3 to 3). 6) is notified, and when the ON condition 2 is satisfied in response to the player performing the operations of batting orders 3 to 6, the main control board 200 changes the output stage to the first BN stage (I) (23). The external output means 318 stops the output of the AT signal and outputs the BN signal to the outside.

  In addition, while staying in the first BN stage (I), the correct operation mode in which the winning type “batting order bell” is won on the main control board 200 and the winning combination “normal bell” can be won, and the legitimate operation When the clear condition 3 is established by performing an operation mode other than the operation mode (batting order 1 or batting order 2) in which the left reel 134a as the mode stops for the first time, the output stage transitions to the third BN stage (M) (24 ). The third BN stage (M) is provided as the output stage when the pseudo bonus game is won in the normal AT gaming state and the winning type “batting order bell” is won during the pseudo bonus game. Since the extra effect is performed on the sub-control board 202, the player executes the operations of the batting orders 3 to 6, but the main control board 200 determines that the pseudo bonus game state is ended by this operation, and BN This is to prevent the signal output from being stopped.

  While staying in the third BN stage (M), the winning type “batting order bell” is won in the main control board 200, the auxiliary effect is executed in the sub control board 202, and the symbol corresponding to the winning combination “normal bell” When the operation (batting order 3, 4, 5 or 6) for displaying the combination on the effective line A is notified and the on condition 1 is established in response to the player performing the operations of the batting orders 3 to 6, the main control board At 200, the output stage is transitioned to the fourth BN stage (K) (25). Then, while staying in the fourth BN stage (K), the winning type “batting order bell” is won on the main control board 200, and the auxiliary effect is executed on the sub-control board 202, corresponding to the winning combination “normal bell”. When an operation (in batting order 3, 4, 5 or 6) for displaying the symbol combination to be performed on the active line A is notified, and the on condition 1 is established in response to the player performing the operations of batting orders 3 to 6, In the control board 200, the output stage is shifted to the first BN stage (I) (26). Thus, even if the clear condition 3 is satisfied and the output stage transitions to the third BN stage (M), the on-condition 1 is transitioned to the first BN stage (I) when the on condition 1 is satisfied twice, so that an extra effect is executed. During the operation, it is possible to prevent the output of the BN signal from being stopped due to the operation being performed in an operation mode other than the correct operation mode.

  On the other hand, while staying at the third BN stage (M), the winning type “batting order bell” is won on the main control board 200, and the symbols corresponding to the winning combination “special bell 6” to the winning combination “special bell 13”. When the operation is performed in a proper operation mode (batting order 1, 2) for displaying the combination on the effective line A, the off condition is established, and the main control board 200 shifts the output stage to the second BN stage (L) (27 ). Then, while staying at the second BN stage (L), the winning type “batting order bell” is won on the main control board 200, and the symbols corresponding to the winning combination “Special Bell 6” to the winning combination “Special Bell 13” are selected. When the operation is performed in a proper operation mode (batting order 1, 2) for displaying the combination on the effective line A, the off condition is established, and the main control board 200 shifts the output stage to the initial stage (A) (22). The external output means 318 stops outputting the BN signal to the outside.

  In addition, while staying in the fourth BN stage (K), the correct operation mode in which the winning type “batting order bell” is won on the main control board 200 and the winning combination “normal bell” can be won, and the legitimate operation When the clear mode 3 is satisfied by performing an operation mode other than the operation mode (batting order 1 or batting order 2) in which the left reel 134a as the mode stops for the first time, the output stage is shifted to the third BN stage (M) (28 ).

  Further, while staying in the fourth BN stage (K), the winning type “batting order bell” is won on the main control board 200, and the symbols corresponding to the winning combination “Special Bell 6” to the winning combination “Special Bell 13”. When the operation is performed in a proper operation mode (batting order 1, 2) for displaying the combination on the effective line A, the off condition is established, and the main control board 200 shifts the output stage to the second BN stage (L) (29 ). While staying in the second BN stage (L), the winning type “batting order bell” is won in the main control board 200, the auxiliary effect is executed in the sub control board 202, and the symbol corresponding to the winning combination “normal bell” When the ON condition 1 is satisfied in response to the operation of displaying the combination on the effective line A (batting order 3, 4, 5 or 6), the main control board 200 changes the output stage to the fourth BN stage (K). Transition (30). It should be noted that while staying in the second BN stage (L), the correct operation mode in which the winning type “batting order bell” is won on the main control board 200 and the winning combination “normal bell” can be won, and the legitimate operation When the clear condition 3 is established by performing an operation mode other than the operation mode (batting sequence 1 or batting sequence 2) in which the left reel 134a as the mode stops for the first time, the main control board 200 sets the output stage to the second BN. Maintain step (L) (29). That is, when the clear condition 3 is satisfied, the continuous number of off-conditions when the winning type “batting order bell” is won is maintained as it is.

  In addition, while staying in the first AT stage (H), the correct operation mode in which the winning type “batting order bell” is won on the main control board 200 and the winning combination “normal bell” can be won, and the legitimate operation When the clear condition 3 is satisfied by performing an operation mode other than the operation mode (batting order 1 or batting order 2) in which the left reel 134a as the mode stops for the first time, the output stage transitions to the third AT stage (N) (31 ). As in the third BN stage, the third AT stage is operated in an operation mode (batting order 1 or batting order 2) in which the winning type “batting order bell” is won and the left reel 134a stops for the first time in the normal AT gaming state. Is provided to prevent the AT signal output from being stopped when it is determined that the normal AT gaming state has ended.

  While staying in the third AT stage (N), the winning type “batting order bell” is won in the main control board 200, the auxiliary effect is executed in the sub-control board 202, and the symbol corresponding to the winning combination “normal bell” When the operation (batting order 3, 4, 5 or 6) for displaying the combination on the effective line A is notified and the on condition 1 is established in response to the player performing the operations of the batting orders 3 to 6, the main control board At 200, the output stage is transitioned to the fourth AT stage (O) (32). Then, while staying in the fourth AT stage (O), the winning type “batting order bell” is won on the main control board 200, and the auxiliary effect is executed on the sub-control board 202, corresponding to the winning role “normal bell”. When an operation (in batting order 3, 4, 5 or 6) for displaying the symbol combination to be performed on the active line A is notified, and the on condition 1 is established in response to the player performing the operations of batting orders 3 to 6, In the control board 200, the output stage is shifted to the first AT stage (H) (33). Thus, even if the clear condition 3 is satisfied and the output stage transitions to the third AT stage (N), the on-condition 1 is transitioned to the first AT stage (H) when the ON condition 1 is satisfied twice. During this time, it is possible to prevent the output of the AT signal from being stopped by being operated in an operation mode other than the correct operation mode.

  On the other hand, while staying in the third AT stage (N), the winning type “batting order bell” is won on the main control board 200, and the symbols corresponding to the winning role “special bell 6” to the winning role “special bell 13”. When the operation is performed in a proper operation mode (batting order 1, 2) for displaying the combination on the effective line A, the off condition is established, and the main control board 200 shifts the output stage to the second AT stage (J) (34). ). Then, while staying at the second AT stage (J), the winning type “batting order bell” is won on the main control board 200, and the symbols corresponding to the winning combination “Special Bell 6” to the winning combination “Special Bell 13” are selected. When the operation is performed in a proper operation mode (batting order 1, 2) for displaying the combination on the effective line A, the off condition is established, and the main control board 200 shifts the output stage to the initial stage (A) (20). The external output means 318 stops outputting the AT signal to the outside.

  Further, while staying in the fourth AT stage (O), the correct operation mode in which the winning combination “normal bell” can be won, and the operation mode in which the left reel 134a, which is a valid operation mode, stops first (batting order). When the clear condition 3 is established by performing an operation mode other than 1 or batting order 2), the main control board 200 shifts the output stage to the third AT stage (N) (35).

  Further, while staying in the fourth AT stage (O), the winning type “batting order bell” is won on the main control board 200, and the symbols corresponding to the winning role “special bell 6” to the winning role “special bell 13”. When the operation is performed in a proper operation mode (batting order 1, 2) for displaying the combination on the effective line A, the off condition is established, and the main control board 200 shifts the output stage to the second AT stage (J) (36 ). Also, while staying in the second AT stage (J), the winning type “batting order bell” is won on the main control board 200, and the auxiliary effect is executed on the sub-control board 202, corresponding to the winning role “normal bell”. When the ON condition 1 is satisfied in response to the operation (display order 3, 4, 5 or 6) for displaying the symbol combination to be displayed on the effective line A, the main control board 200 sets the output stage to the fourth AT stage (O (37).

  By the way, as described above, the gaming state can be shifted to the pseudo bonus gaming state even in the AT gaming state on the sub-control board 202. However, while the first AT stage (H) is staying, the ON condition 2 is When established, the main control board 200 shifts the output stage to the first BN stage (I) (23). In the main control board 200, when the output stage is other than the first AT stage (H), that is, stays in the third AT stage (N) and the second AT stage (J), the ON condition 1 is satisfied twice. When the ON condition 2 is satisfied once, the process proceeds to the first BN stage (I). Further, when staying in the fourth AT stage (O), when the ON condition 1 is satisfied once and the ON condition 2 is satisfied once, the transition is made to the first BN stage (I).

  Specifically, while staying in the third AT stage (N), the winning types “bonus replay 1” and “bonus replay 2” are won on the main control board 200, and the auxiliary effect is executed on the sub control board 202. Then, the sub-control board 202 is notified of an operation (batting order 3 to 6) for displaying the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “Big Replay” and “Regular Replay” on the effective line A, and the player has the batting order 3 to 6 When the ON condition 2 is established in response to the execution of the operation, the main control board 200 shifts the output stage to the BN signal preparation stage (P) during the first AT (38). Further, while the output stage stays in the BN signal preparation stage (P) during the first AT, the winning type “batting order bell” is won in the main control board 200, and the auxiliary effect is executed in the sub-control board 202, and the win is won. When the ON condition 1 is satisfied in response to the operation (display order 3, 4, 5 or 6) for displaying the symbol combination corresponding to the combination “normal bell” on the effective line A, the main control board 200 outputs The stage is changed to the BT signal preparation stage (Q) during the second AT (39). While the output stage stays in the BN signal preparation stage (Q) during the second AT, the winning type “batting order bell” is won in the main control board 200, and the auxiliary effect is executed in the sub-control board 202, and the win is won. When the ON condition 1 is satisfied in response to the operation (display order 3, 4, 5 or 6) for displaying the symbol combination corresponding to the combination “normal bell” on the effective line A, the main control board 200 outputs The stage is changed to the first BN stage (I) (40), and the external output means 136 stops the output of the AT signal and outputs the BN signal to the outside.

  Further, while staying in the second AT stage (J), the winning types “bonus replay 1” and “bonus replay 2” are won on the main control board 200, and the auxiliary effect is executed on the sub control board 202. The control board 202 is notified of an operation (batting order 3-6) for displaying the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “Big Replay” and “Regular Replay” on the effective line A, and the player performs the operations of the batting orders 3-6. When the ON condition 2 is established in response to this, the main control board 200 shifts the output stage to the third AT BN signal preparation stage (R) (41). Further, while the output stage stays in the BN signal preparation stage (R) during the third AT, the winning type “batting order bell” is won in the main control board 200, and the auxiliary effect is executed in the sub-control board 202, and the win is won. When the ON condition 1 is satisfied in response to the operation (display order 3, 4, 5 or 6) for displaying the symbol combination corresponding to the combination “normal bell” on the effective line A, the main control board 200 outputs The stage is shifted to the BT signal preparation stage (Q) during the second AT (42). While the output stage stays in the BN signal preparation stage (Q) during the second AT, the winning type “batting order bell” is won in the main control board 200, and the auxiliary effect is executed in the sub-control board 202, and the win is won. When the ON condition 1 is satisfied in response to the operation (display order 3, 4, 5 or 6) for displaying the symbol combination corresponding to the combination “normal bell” on the effective line A, the main control board 200 outputs The stage is transitioned to the first BN stage (I) (40). Further, while staying in the fourth AT stage (O), the winning types “bonus replay 1” and “bonus replay 2” are won on the main control board 200, and the auxiliary effect is executed on the sub control board 202, The control board 202 is notified of an operation (batting order 3-6) for displaying the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “Big Replay” and “Regular Replay” on the effective line A, and the player performs the operations of the batting orders 3-6. When the ON condition 2 is established in response to this, the main control board 200 shifts the output stage to the second AT BN signal preparation stage (Q) (43). While the output stage stays in the BN signal preparation stage (Q) during the second AT, the winning type “batting order bell” is won in the main control board 200, and the auxiliary effect is executed in the sub-control board 202, and the win is won. When the ON condition 1 is satisfied in response to the operation (display order 3, 4, 5 or 6) for displaying the symbol combination corresponding to the combination “normal bell” on the effective line A, the main control board 200 outputs The stage is transitioned to the first BN stage (I) (40). Thus, when the gaming state is shifted to the pseudo bonus gaming state even in the AT gaming state on the sub-control board 202, conversion of the external signal from the AT signal to the BN signal becomes possible.

  By the way, while staying in the second AT stage (J), the third AT stage (N), and the fourth AT stage (O), the main control is executed even though the pseudo bonus game is not won in the sub-control board 202. When the winning types “Bonus Replay 1” and “Bonus Replay 2” are won on the board 200 and the player mistakenly operates in any of the batting orders 3 to 6, the ON condition 2 is satisfied, and the main control is performed. In the substrate 200, the output stage is changed from the second AT stage (J) to the third AT BN signal preparation stage (R) (41), and the third AT stage (N) to the first AT BN signal preparation stage (P). (38), and transition from the fourth AT stage (O) to the second AT BN signal preparation stage (Q) (43). Therefore, during the 1st AT BN signal preparation stage (P), during the 2nd AT BN signal preparation stage (Q), and during the 3rd AT BN signal preparation stage (R), the winning combination “Normal Bell” was won. When the clear condition 3 is satisfied by performing an operation mode other than the correct operation mode and the operation mode (the batting order 1 or the batting order 2) in which the left reel 134a which is a legitimate operation mode is first stopped, the output stage is set. Transition to the third AT stage (N) (44, 45, 46). Further, while staying in the BT signal preparation stage (P) during the first AT and the BN signal preparation stage (Q) during the second AT, the winning type “batting order bell” is won on the main control board 200, and the winning role “special” When an operation is performed in a proper operation mode (batting order 1, 2) for displaying the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “special bell 13” on the effective line A, the off condition is established, and the main control board 200 The output stage is transited to the second AT stage (J) (47, 48). Further, while staying at the BN signal preparation stage (R) during the third AT, the winning type “batting order bell” is won on the main control board 200, and the winning role “Special Bell 6” to the winning role “Special Bell 13”. When the operation is performed in a proper operation mode (batting order 1, 2) for displaying the symbol combination corresponding to the active line A, the off condition is established. In the main control board 200, the winning type “batting order bell” is selected in the main control board 200. ”Is selected, and the off-conditions are applied when an operation is performed in a legitimate operation mode (batting order 1 and 2) in which the symbol combinations corresponding to the winning combination“ Special Bell 6 ”to the winning combination“ Special Bell 13 ”are displayed on the effective line A In the main control board 200, the output stage is shifted to the initial stage (A) (49), and the external output means 318 stops the output of the AT signal to the outside.

  Hereinafter, specific processing in the main control board 200 and the sub control board 202 will be described based on flowcharts.

(Main processing of main control board 200)
FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing main processing of the main control board 200. Here, first, an outline of one game after initialization will be described along the main process of the main control board 200, and then the details of each process will be described. Here, processing related to the features of the present embodiment will be described in detail, and descriptions of configurations unrelated to the features of the present embodiment will be omitted. Although detailed description is omitted, when each process is performed, the switches (the bet switch 126, the start switch 128, and the stop button switches 130a, 130b, and 130c) used in each process are activated at the start of the process. And invalidated at the end of the process.

(Step S100)
When the power of the slot machine 100 is turned on via the power switch 148 and becomes energized, the initialization unit 300 executes an initialization process in preparation for the start of the game. The initialization unit 300 generates backup data at any time while the power is on, and holds the backup data in the main RAM 200c. Therefore, even if an unexpected power interruption occurs, it is possible to restore the state before the power interruption using the stored backup data in this initialization process. For example, even if an unexpected power interruption occurs during the rotation of the rotating reels 134a, 134b, and 134c, the rotating reels 134a, 134b, and 134c are started again after the return operation. Therefore, in the initialization process, the main RAM 200c is basically not initialized (RAM clear).

(Step S200)
Subsequently, the betting means 302 bets medals through the operation of the bet switch 126 by the player or the insertion of medals into the medal insertion unit 124. Further, the command determining means 314 generates a making command indicating that the operation has been performed, and the command sending means 316 sends the generated making command to the sub control board 202.

(Step S300)
Next, the winning type lottery means 304 validates the game start operation with respect to the start switch 128 and shifts to a state of waiting for the operation of the start switch 128. Then, the winning type lottery means 304 executes the winning type lottery in accordance with the operation of the start switch 128 by the player. The lottery process S300 by the winning type lottery means 304 will be described in detail later.

(Step S400)
When the start switch 128 is operated, the reel control means 306 drives the stepping motor 262 to rotate the left reel 134a, the middle reel 134b, and the right reel 134c. In this reel rotation process, when a predetermined time (for example, 4.1 seconds) elapses from the start of rotation of the left reel 134a, middle reel 134b, and right reel 134c in the previous game (wait), the left reel in the game The rotation of 134a, middle reel 134b, and right reel 134c is started, and when all of the left reel 134a, middle reel 134b, and right reel 134c are rotated at a constant speed, the process proceeds to step S500. Further, the reel control means 306 may execute a reel effect. The reel rotation processing S400 by the reel control means 306 will be described in detail later.

(Step S500)
Subsequently, when the reel control means 306 activates the stop button switches 130a, 130b, and 130c and receives an operation of the stop button switches 130a, 130b, and 130c by the player, the reel control means 306 receives the rotation reel (the left reel 134a, Either the middle reel 134b or the right reel 134c) is controlled to stop. The external output means 318 outputs an external signal of the slot machine 100 based on the operation of the stop button switches 130a, 130b, and 130c.

(Step S600)
Next, the determination means 308 determines which combination the symbol combination displayed on the active line A shown in FIG. 5A corresponds to and determines the gaming state according to the symbol combination. Various processes required for change and replay are executed. In addition, the command determination unit 314 generates a winning command including a symbol combination displayed on the effective line A and a medal payout number when the symbol combination corresponding to the small role is displayed on the effective line A. The command transmission unit 316 transmits the generated winning command to the sub-control board 202. Further, the main game state transition means 312 changes the game state from the bonus established game state to the bonus game state based on the fact that the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination “BB” is displayed on the active line A in the bonus established game state. Transition. The external output means 318 outputs an external signal of the slot machine 100 based on the result determined by the determination means 308. The determination process S600 by the reel control unit 306 will be described in detail later.

(Step S700)
Subsequently, when the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination is displayed on the active line A based on the determination result in step S600, for example, the payout control unit 310 executes a medal payout process corresponding to the small combination. When the symbol combination corresponding to the replay combination is displayed on the active line A, a process for automatically betting the next game is executed. In addition, when a predetermined number of medals are paid out in the bonus game state, the main game state transition means 312 transitions the game state from the bonus game state to the bonus non-established game state. Thus, the payout control means 310 performs various processes corresponding to the symbol combination displayed on the active line A, and ends the one game. Further, when the medal payout process is performed, the command determination unit 314 generates a payout command indicating that the payout process has been performed, and the command transmission unit 316 transmits the generated payout command to the sub-control board 202. .

  One game is executed through a series of processes from step S200 to step S700. Thereafter, steps S200 to S700 are repeated.

(Sub-processing of sub-control board 202)
FIG. 43 is a flowchart showing a sub process of the sub control board 202. Here, processing related to the feature of the present embodiment will be described in detail, and description of the configuration unrelated to the feature of the present embodiment will be omitted.

(Step S1100)
When the power of the slot machine 100 is turned on via the power switch 148 and becomes energized, the initialization determining means 330 executes an initialization process in preparation for the start of the game. The initialization determination unit 330 generates backup data at any time while the power is turned on, and holds the backup data in the sub RAM 202c.

(Step S1200)
Command receiving means 332 stands by until a command from main control board 200 is received.

(Step S1300)
If it is determined in step S1200 that a command has been received, the command receiving unit 332 executes various processes based on the received command, and repeats the processes from step S1200.

(Command reception processing S1300)
FIG. 44 is a flowchart showing the command reception process in step S1300.

(Step S1301)
First, the command receiving means 332 determines whether or not the received command is an input command. As a result, if the received command is a submission command, the process proceeds to step S1302, and if the received command is not a submission command, the process proceeds to step S1303.

(Step S1302)
If it is determined that the command received in step S1301 is a throw-in command, the effect execution means 338 determines that the effect that has been executed up to that time has been performed under a predetermined condition, assuming that the game start preparation for the next game has been performed. Switch or end with.

(Step S1303)
Subsequently, the command receiving unit 332 determines whether or not the received command is a winning type command. As a result, if the received command is a winning type command, it is assumed that one game has started, and the process proceeds to step S1304. If the received command is not a winning type command, the process proceeds to step S1307.

(Step S1304)
If it is determined that the command received in step S1303 is a winning type command, the secondary gaming state transition means 334 determines that the gaming state managed by the main control board 200 indicated by the winning type command is a bonus established gaming state. On the condition, various lottery processes are executed based on the winning type indicated in the winning type command and the gaming state managed by the sub control board 202.

(Step S1305)
Subsequently, the effect determining means 336 determines the game effect based on the winning type command. Here, when a normal AT game or a pseudo bonus game is being executed and the winning type indicated in the winning type command is the winning type “batting order bell”, an auxiliary effect for informing the correct operation mode is determined. Further, when a normal AT game is being executed and the winning type indicated in the winning type command is the winning type “special replay 1”, “special replay 2”, “bonus replay 1”, or “bonus replay 2” The effect determining means 336 determines an auxiliary effect for notifying the batting order 2. In addition, when the pseudo bonus game is executed and the winning types indicated in the winning type command are the winning types “bonus replay 1” and “bonus replay 2”, the effect determining means 336 has the batting orders 3-6. An auxiliary effect for notifying one of the batting orders is determined. The effect determining process S1305 by the effect determining means 336 will be described in detail later.

(Step S1306)
Next, the effect executing means 338 starts executing the effect determined by the effect determining means 336. For example, if the determined effect is an auxiliary effect, the effect execution unit 338 executes the auxiliary effect.

(Step S1307)
Subsequently, the command receiving unit 332 determines whether or not the received command is a stop command. As a result, if the received command is a stop command, the process proceeds to step S1308. If the received command is not a stop command, the process proceeds to step S1309.

(Step S1308)
If it is determined that the command received in step S1307 is a stop command, the effect execution means 338 determines whether the stop command is a first stop command, a second stop command, or a third stop command. The stop operation determines which stop button switch 130a, 130b, or 130c is the stop operation, and changes the production mode based on the determination result and the content of the production.

(Step S1309)
Subsequently, the command receiving unit 332 determines whether the received command is a winning command. As a result, if the received command is a winning command, the process proceeds to step S1310. If the received command is not a winning command, the process proceeds to step S1313.

(Step S1310)
If it is determined that the command received in step S1309 is a winning command, the effect executing means 338 executes an effect based on the winning command.

(Step S1311)
Subsequently, the secondary gaming state transition means 334 grasps the progress state of the gaming state managed by the secondary control board 202 and determines the end of the gaming state. For example, if the current gaming state is a normal AT game, the normal AT game counter is decremented by 1, and when the normal AT game counter reaches 0, the normal AT game is terminated. If the current gaming state is a pseudo bonus game, when the winning type in the game is the winning type “batting order bell”, the pseudo bonus game counter is decremented by 1, and when the pseudo bonus game counter becomes 0, the pseudo bonus game counter is reached. End the game. When the gaming state is thus completed, the gaming state described with reference to FIG. 11 is entered.

(Step S1312)
Next, the secondary game state transition means 334 makes a start determination of the game state managed by the secondary control board 202. When the start condition of the normal AT game or the pseudo bonus game is satisfied, the game state is started. For example, if a normal AT game is won by lottery in step S1304, the normal AT game is immediately started in step S1312. In addition, when winning the pseudo bonus game, it waits for the winning type corresponding to the pseudo bonus game (waiting for the winning type “bonus replay 1” in the big bonus game, and winning type “bonus replay 2 in the regular bonus game” "Waiting for winning"), the winning combination corresponding to the pseudo-bonus game (the big bonus game is the winning combination "Big Replay", the regular bonus game is the winning combination "Regular Replay"), the operation according to the operation mode was made After that, the pseudo bonus game is started.

(Step S1313)
Subsequently, the command receiving unit 332 determines whether or not the received command is a payout command. As a result, if the received command is a payout command, the process proceeds to step S1314. If the received command is not a payout command, the command reception process S1300 is terminated.

(Step S1314)
If it is determined that the command received in step S1313 is a payout command, effect execution means 338 executes an effect based on the payout command, and ends command reception processing S1300. Then, the numerical values of the sub credit display unit 156 and the sub payout display unit 158 are updated in accordance with the medal payout.

(Production determination process S1305)
FIG. 45 is a flowchart showing the effect determination process in step S1305.

(Step S1305-1)
The secondary game state transition means 334 determines whether or not the pseudo bonus game is started from the normal AT game, that is, whether or not the pseudo bonus game is from the normal AT game. As a result, if it is during the pseudo bonus game from the normal AT game, the process proceeds to step S1305-2, and if it is not during the pseudo bonus game from the normal AT game, the effect determination process S1305 is ended.

(Step S1305-2)
Subsequently, the effect determining unit 336 determines whether or not the winning type indicated in the winning type command is the winning type “batting order bell”. As a result, if the winning type is the winning type “batting order bell”, the process proceeds to step S1305-3. If the winning type is not the winning type “batting order bell”, the effect determining process S1305 is terminated.

(Step S1305-3)
If it is determined in step S1305-2 that the winning type is the winning type “batting order bell”, the effect determining unit 336 executes the extra effect and ends the effect determining process S1305.

  As mentioned above, although preferred embodiment of this invention was described referring an accompanying drawing, it cannot be overemphasized that this invention is not limited to this embodiment. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made within the scope of the claims, and these are naturally within the technical scope of the present invention. Is done.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, if the pseudo bonus gaming state is shifted from the normal gaming state as the predetermined gaming privilege, a normal AT game (normal AT gaming) is given and the normal gaming state is shifted. If it is a thing, the example which adds (adds) the continuation number of normal AT games (normal AT game) was given. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and various gaming benefits such as provision of a pseudo bonus game itself for a predetermined number of times of navigation can be provided.

  In the above-described embodiment, the winning probability lottery is executed by the winning type lottery means 304 of the main control board 200. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and there are various cases such as the sub game state transition means 334 of the sub control board 202. Can be done in the functional part.

  In the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, the winning combination “Special Replay 1”, the winning combination “Special Replay 2”, the winning combination “Big Replay”, the winning combination “Regular Replay”, etc. Although different winning types are assigned, 1-4 winning combinations selected from the respective winning combinations may be assigned to one winning type. In this case, the winning combination to be displayed can be specified by changing the operation mode to be notified according to the selected pseudo bonus game.

  In the embodiment described above, the normal AT gaming state and the pseudo bonus gaming state are provided as the specific gaming state, and the AT signal and the BN signal indicating the normal AT gaming state and the pseudo bonus gaming state are output to the outside. However, as the specific gaming state, three or more gaming states may be provided, and an external signal indicating the three or more gaming states may be output to the outside.

  In the above-described embodiment, the normal AT gaming state ends when the set number of continuations is reached, and the pseudo bonus gaming state ends when the set number of navigations is reached. However, not only in such a case, each gaming state (normal AT gaming state, pseudo bonus gaming state) that can receive an auxiliary effect has reached the set number of continuations, has reached the set number of navigation, It may be ended by digesting various game opportunities that can receive an auxiliary effect, such as reaching a set payout number or reaching a set earned number (payout number-input number). Further, in the above-described embodiment, in each gaming state that can receive an auxiliary effect, it has been explained that the number of continuations is added and lottery is performed, and the number of continuations is extended by winning, but this is not the case. Various lotteries can be performed to change the end condition of the gaming state, such as increasing / decreasing or changing the number of various gaming opportunities that can receive an auxiliary effect.

  Further, the processes performed by the main control board 200 and the sub control board 202 described above do not necessarily have to be processed in time series in the order described in the flowchart, and may include processes in parallel or by a subroutine.
