  “Special role 1” (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “BB (big bonus)”) is a special role (actuation) in which a BB general gaming state (one of BB gaming state (RT1) described later) is started by winning a prize. Role). In the present embodiment, the symbol combination corresponding to BB is “seven one symbol-seven one symbol-seven one symbol”.

  For BB, the flag is carried over. That is, when BB is won internally, a flag indicating this is set (stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300), and even if BB is not won in the game, the internal winning is held until winning. The state in which the flag shown is maintained is maintained, and the symbol combinations corresponding to BB are aligned and the BB is won. Note that this BB flag carry-over state is also referred to as an internal winning for BB.

  The “special role 2” (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “RB (regular bonus) 1”) is an RB1 gaming state (one of BB gaming state (RT1) described later) by winning in the above-mentioned BB general gaming state. Is a special role (operating role) that is started. In the present embodiment, the symbol combination corresponding to RB1 is “seven 1 symbol-seven 1 symbol-BAR symbol”.

  “Special role 3” (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as “RB (regular bonus) 2”) is an RB2 gaming state (one of BB gaming state (RT1) described later) by winning in the above-mentioned BB general gaming state. Is a special role (operating role) that is started. In the present embodiment, the symbol combination corresponding to RB2 is “seven 2 symbols-seven 2 symbols-BAR symbols”.

  For RB1 and 2, the flag is carried over. In other words, even if RB1 or 2 is won internally, a flag indicating this will be set (stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300), and even if RB1 or 2 won internally in the game is not won The flag indicating the internal winning is maintained until winning, and the symbol combinations corresponding to the internally winning RB1 or 2 are all in a state of winning RB1 or RB2. In the present embodiment, RB1 and RB2 may be collectively referred to as RB. Further, this RB flag carry-over state is also referred to as an internal winning for RB.

  The “re-playing combination” is a winning combination (operating combination) that can play the same number of games as the number inserted in the previous game without inserting medals. In the present embodiment, the symbol combination corresponding to the re-playing combination is “replay symbol-replay symbol-replay symbol”.

  “Small 1 to 3” is a winning combination in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out by winning, and corresponding symbol combinations and payouts are as shown in FIG. That is, the symbol combination corresponding to the small role 1 (cherry) is “cherry symbol-ANY-ANY”, the payout number is 5, and the symbol combination corresponding to the small role 2 (watermelon) is “watermelon symbol-watermelon”. Symbol-watermelon symbol ", the number of payouts is 5, the symbol combination corresponding to the small role 3 (bell) is" ANY-bell symbol-ANY ", and the number of payouts is 5. In the case of the symbol combination “Cherry symbol-ANY-ANY” corresponding to the small role 1 (Cherry) and the symbol combination “ANY-Bell symbol-ANY” corresponding to the small role 3 (Bell), the symbol indicated by ANY is It shows that any symbol can be used.

<Lottery for winning prize>
Next, the lottery value of the winning combination will be described with reference to FIG. The figure shows the name of the condition device, the internal winning probability for each RT mode, and remarks.

  Although details will be described later, the gaming state (RT mode) of the main control unit 300 of the slot machine 100 is roughly divided into a normal gaming state (RT0) and a BB gaming state (RT1), and a BB gaming state (RT1). ) Is further classified into a BB general gaming state, an RB1 gaming state, and an RB2 gaming state. As shown in FIG. 6, the lottery value for the winning combination is RB gaming state for each RT mode and in RT1 mode (in this embodiment, the RB1 gaming state and the RB2 gaming state are also referred to as RB gaming state). It is determined in advance depending on whether or not the RB is in internal winning.

  The internal winning probability of each winning combination is determined by a value obtained by dividing the lottery value associated with the combination of the condition devices by the size of the numerical value range (65536 in this embodiment) of the random value acquired at the time of the internal lottery. It is done. As an example, the internal winning probability of special role 1 (BB) at RT0 is 218/65536, in the BB general gaming state of RT1, and when RB is not internally winning (in FIG. 6, “Non-RB ( The probability that an internal winning in Special Role 2 in the column labeled “RB Non-Internal Winning”) is 26214/65536, is in the RB gaming state of RT1, and the RB is in internal winning (in FIG. 6) The probability of winning internally in the small roles 1, 2, and 3 in the column “in RB (RB internal winning)” is 65536/65536.

  These lottery values are associated in advance with one of the numerical ranges of the random number values (0 to 65535 in the present embodiment), and the main control unit 300 determines which random number value is obtained. It is determined whether or not the lottery value corresponds to the winning combination and the internal lottery process for determining the internal lottery is performed. In addition, as the lottery value, setting 1 to setting 6 in which the internal winning probabilities of at least one winning combination are different are prepared, and an attendant of the game shop can arbitrarily select and set any setting value.

  To illustrate the content shown in the figure, the special combination 1 (BB) of NO1 can be won internally only when the gaming state is RT0. Special role 2 (RB1) of NO2 and special role 3 (RB2) of NO3 are when the game state is BB general game and the RB is not in the internal selection (non-RB (in RB non-internal selection)) Only internal winning is possible.

  The NO4 re-playing role (replay), the NO5 small role 1 (cherry), and the NO6 small role 2 (watermelon) can be won internally only when the gaming state is RT0.

  The small role 3 (bell) of NO7 can be won internally only when the gaming state is RT0. Further, as shown in the corresponding remarks item, this small role 3 (bell) is a small role when a stop operation is performed with the first stop reel as the left reel 110 (in the case of the first stop left). The symbol combination (ANY-bell symbol-ANY) corresponding to 3 (bell) is displayed on the active lines L1, L3 and L4, and a total of nine medals are paid out. On the other hand, when a stop operation is performed with the first stop reel other than the left reel 110, the symbol combination (ANY-bell symbol-ANY) corresponding to the small role 3 (bell) is displayed on the active line L2. A total of 3 medals will be paid out. The small role 3 (bell) is also referred to as “push order bell 1 (left correct bell)”.

  NO8's small roles 1, 3 (Cherry, Bell) are double roles that are won simultaneously for Small Role 1 (Cherry) and Small Role 3 (Bell), and can only be won internally when the gaming state is RT0. It is said that. Further, as shown in the corresponding remarks item, the small roles 1 and 3 (cherry and bell) are used when the stop operation is performed with the first stop reel as the middle reel 111 (when the first stop is in progress). The symbol combination (ANY-bell symbol-ANY) corresponding to the small role 3 (bell) is displayed on the active lines L1, L3 and L4, and a total of nine medals are paid out. On the other hand, when a stop operation is performed with the first stop reel other than the middle reel 111, the symbol combination (ANY-bell symbol-ANY) corresponding to the small role 3 (bell) is displayed on the active line L2. A total of 3 medals will be paid out. The small roles 1, 3 (cherry, bell) are also referred to as “push order bell 2 (medium correct bell)”.

  NO9's small roles 2, 3 (watermelon, bell) are double roles that are simultaneously won for small role 2 (watermelon) and small role 3 (bell), and can be won internally only when the gaming state is RT0 It is said that. Further, as shown in the corresponding remarks item, the small roles 2 and 3 (watermelon and bell) are used when the stop operation is performed with the first stop reel as the right reel 112 (in the case of the first stop right). The symbol combination (ANY-bell symbol-ANY) corresponding to the small role 3 (bell) is displayed on the active lines L1, L3 and L4, and a total of nine medals are paid out. On the other hand, when the stop operation is performed with the first stop reel other than the right reel 112, the symbol combination (ANY-bell symbol-ANY) corresponding to the small role 3 (bell) is displayed on the active line L2. A total of 3 medals will be paid out. The small roles 2, 3 (watermelon, bell) are also referred to as “push order bell 3 (right correct bell)”.

  In the present embodiment, the push order bells 1, 2, and 3 are collectively referred to as “push order bell”, and when the push order bell is internally won, a stop operation that results in nine medal payouts, that is, The stop operation in which the game result in the game is advantageous to the player is called “correct answer stop operation”, and the stop operation in which three medals are paid out, that is, the stop in which the game result in the game is disadvantageous to the player The operation is referred to as “incorrect answer stop operation”. In the present embodiment, when the winning order bell is won internally and the correct answer is stopped, as described above, “ANY-bell symbol-ANY” is displayed on the active lines L1, L3, and L4. In addition to the above, “bell design-bell design-bell design” is displayed on any of the effective lines L1, L3, or L4. On the other hand, when the winning order bell is won internally and the incorrect answer is stopped, as described above, “ANY-bell symbol-ANY” is displayed on the active line L2, but in addition to this, the symbol display Since the bell symbols are displayed in the display areas 1 and 7 of the window 113, the bell symbols are displayed together on the effective line L2. In other words, when the winning order bell is won internally, an effect is displayed in which the bell symbols are displayed together on a predetermined effective line regardless of whether the correct answer or the incorrect answer is stopped.

  Special role 2 & small roles 1, 2 and 3 (RB1, cherry, watermelon, bell) of NO10 are special role 2 (RB1), small role 1 (cherry), small role 2 (watermelon) and small role 3 (Bell) is a duplicate combination that is won at the same time, and internal winning is possible only when the gaming state is RT1 (more specifically, during RB (RB non-internal winning)). In addition, this special combination 2 & small combination 1, 2, 3 (RB1, cherry, watermelon, bell), as shown in the corresponding remarks item, symbol combination corresponding to small combination 3 (bell) (ANY-bell design) -ANY) is displayed on the active lines L1, L3 and L4, and a total of nine medals are paid out. It should be noted that "bell design-bell design-bell design" is displayed on any of the effective lines L1, L3, or L4.

  Special role 3 & small roles 1, 2 and 3 (RB2, cherry, watermelon, bell) of NO11 are special role 3 (RB2), small role 1 (cherry), small role 2 (watermelon) and small role 3 (Bell) is a duplicate combination that is won at the same time, and internal winning is possible only when the gaming state is RT1 (more specifically, during RB (RB non-internal winning)). In addition, this special combination 2 & small combination 1, 2, 3 (RB1, cherry, watermelon, bell), as shown in the corresponding remarks item, symbol combination corresponding to small combination 3 (bell) (ANY-bell design) -ANY) is displayed on the active lines L1, L3 and L4, and a total of nine medals are paid out. It should be noted that "bell design-bell design-bell design" is displayed on any of the effective lines L1, L3, or L4.

  NO12 small roles 1, 2, and 3 (cherry, watermelon, bell) are duplicate roles that are won simultaneously for small role 1 (cherry), small role 2 (watermelon), and small role 3 (bell). , Gaming state is RT1 (more specifically, non-RB (RB non-winning), non-RB (RB internal win), RB (RB non-winning), RB (RB internal win)) Only in the case of internal winning is possible. In addition, as shown in the corresponding remarks item, the symbol combination corresponding to the small role 3 (bell) (ANY-bell symbol-ANY) is effective for the small roles 1, 2, 3 (cherry, watermelon, bell). A total of nine medals are paid out displayed on the lines L1, L3 and L4. It should be noted that "bell design-bell design-bell design" is displayed on any of the effective lines L1, L3, or L4.

<Reel stop control>
Next, an outline of the stop control of the reels 110 to 112 will be described. The reel stop control is performed by selecting any one of a plurality of predetermined reel stop data based on a predetermined condition (for example, the result of the internal winning process of the winning combination described above), and the selected reel stop data. Based on.

  In this embodiment, so-called pull-in control (frame slip control) is performed. With the pull-in control, the stop position of the reels 110 to 112 is shifted within a certain number of frames (number of symbols) (drawing range; here, a maximum of four frames) after each stop button 137 to 139 is operated by the player. Refers to control. The reel stop data is stored in the ROM 306 of the main control unit 300. Each reel stop data is allowed to allow a predetermined winning combination symbol combination to be displayed on the winning line 114 and to prohibit any winning combination symbol combination from being displayed on the winning line 114. And control.

  An example of the admissible control is, for example, when a winning combination is won internally, or when a BB is won internally (flag carryover), and the player operates the stop buttons 137 to 139. Control is performed so that the symbol combinations of winning combinations are displayed together within the range of the above-mentioned number of frames. However, since it is only “permitted”, there are cases where the symbol combinations are not aligned depending on the timing of operating each of the stop buttons 137 to 139.

  For example, when the small role 2 (watermelon) is won internally, the watermelon symbols are arranged in more than 4 frames, so if the timing of operating the stop buttons 137 to 139 is not suitable, the watermelon symbols will be the winning line 114. Never stop.

  However, 100% may be arranged depending on the arrangement of symbols on the reels 110 to 112 and the number of drawn frames. For example, since the replay symbol arrangement interval corresponding to the re-gamer (replay) is a maximum of 4 frames, if a re-gamer is won internally, 100% will be won regardless of the timing.

  On the other hand, for example, the prohibition control is performed when, for example, the internal lottery result is lost and the BB internal winning is not being performed (the flag is being carried over), and the timing at which the player operates each of the stop buttons 137 to 139 is illustrated. At best, control is performed so that the symbol combinations of winning combinations are not displayed together within the range of the number of frames.

  In the present embodiment, the reel stop control is performed in the priority order of re-playing combination> small combination> special combination. Therefore, when a special combination and a small combination are won, a symbol corresponding to the small combination is preferentially drawn on the winning line 114 over a symbol corresponding to the special combination. For example, in the present embodiment, when the internal winning is for special role 2 & small roles 1, 2, 3 (RB1, cherry, watermelon, bell), it corresponds to the small role (bell) rather than the symbol corresponding to special role 2 The drawing to be controlled is preferentially controlled to win the bell (see FIG. 6).

<Game state of the main control unit>
Next, the game state transition (RT transition) of the main control unit 300 will be described with reference to FIG. The figure shows an example of RT transition of the main control unit.

  As described above, the gaming state of the main control unit 300 of the slot machine 100 is roughly divided into two types: a normal gaming state (RT0) and a BB gaming state (RT1). The BB gaming state (RT1) is further divided into BB. There are a general gaming state, an RB1 gaming state, and an RB2 gaming state.

<Normal gaming state (RT0)>
The normal gaming state (RT0) is an initial gaming state that first shifts after the slot machine 100 is powered on or reset. The content of the normal gaming state (RT0) is not particularly limited, but in this embodiment, the internal lottery result of the winning combination is set to be losing, or the stop display result is not a combination of symbols of any combination. A game in which the stop display result is generally derived, the internal winning probability of the re-gamer is set to a low probability, and the total number of medals that can be acquired in the gaming state is less than the total number of medals inserted State. Therefore, it is a gaming state that is disadvantageous for the player as compared to the BB gaming state (RT1) described later. In this normal gaming state (RT0), when the special combination 1 (BB) is won, the state shifts to the BB gaming state (RT1).

<BB gaming state (RT1)>
The BB gaming state (RT1) is a gaming state in which the total number of medals to be acquired exceeds the total number of inserted medals, and is a gaming state that is advantageous to the player as compared to the above-described normal gaming state (RT0). . Although the content of the BB gaming state (RT1) is not particularly limited, in the present embodiment, a medal corresponding to the small roles 1 to 3 can be paid out by winning the above-mentioned small roles 1 to 3 with high probability. It is possible, and when a predetermined number of medals are paid out (250 in this embodiment), the game state shifts to the normal gaming state (RT0). It should be noted that a condition for ending the BB gaming state (RT1), that is, a payout of medals exceeding a predetermined prescribed number (250 in this embodiment) in the BB gaming state (RT1) is hereinafter referred to as a BB termination condition. Say.

  The initial state of the BB gaming state (RT1) is the BB general gaming state. That is, when the special combination 1 (BB) is won in the normal gaming state (RT0), first, the state shifts to the BB general gaming state. In the BB general gaming state, when the special combination 2 (RB1) is won, the state shifts to the RB1 gaming state, and when the special combination 3 (RB2) is won, the state shifts to the RB2 gaming state. Also, in the RB gaming state (RB1 gaming state, RB2 gaming state), the RB gaming state (RB1 gaming state, RB2 gaming state) is terminated by 8 wins or 8 games, and shifts to the BB general gaming state. . That is, the BB gaming state (RT1) of the present embodiment has a gaming property in which the BB general gaming state and the RB gaming state shift to each other until the BB termination condition is reached. The conditions for ending the RB gaming state (RB1 gaming state, RB2 gaming state), that is, eight winnings or eight games in the RB gaming state are hereinafter also referred to as RB ending conditions. If the BB termination condition is satisfied during the RB gaming state, the RB gaming state is terminated even when the RB gaming state is in the middle (both the RB gaming state and the BB gaming state are terminated).

  In the present embodiment, as shown in the lottery value of the winning combination in FIG. 6, the RB gaming state does not deviate, and nine medals are surely paid out every game. Therefore, the gaming state is more advantageous than the BB general gaming state. It has become.

<Game state of the first sub-control unit>
Next, the transition (mode transition) of the gaming state of the first sub-control unit 400 will be described using FIG. The figure shows an example of mode transition of the first sub-control unit 400.

  The gaming state of the first sub-control unit 400 of the slot machine 100 is roughly divided into three types: mode A (normal mode), mode B (BB mode), and mode C (AT mode). Here, the AT (assist time) mode refers to a gaming state in which an effect of informing the operation timing of the stop operation or the operation sequence of the stop operation is performed so as to bring a result advantageous to the player. In the mode C (AT mode) of the present embodiment, the operation order of the stop operation is notified by using the image of the effect image display device 157 when the push order bell is won internally. As a result, in the mode C (AT mode), it is possible to easily execute the “correct answer stop operation” which is advantageous to the player.

  Mode A (normal mode) and C (AT mode) are gaming states of the first sub-control unit 400 when the main control unit 300 is in the normal gaming state (RT0), and mode B (BB mode) is The gaming state of the first sub-control unit 400 when the main control unit 300 is in the BB gaming state (RT1). In addition, mode B1 (BB general mode) is the gaming state of the first sub-control unit 400 when the main control unit 300 is in the BB general gaming state, and mode B2 (RB1 mode) is the main control unit 300 is in the RB1 gaming state. When the main control unit 300 is in the RB2 gaming state, the gaming state of the first sub control unit 400 when the main control unit 300 is in the RB2 gaming state.

<Mode A (normal mode)>
Mode A (normal mode) is an initial state that first shifts to after the power is turned on or reset of the slot machine 100. In mode A (normal mode), when the special role 1 (BB) is won, mode B ( BB mode).

<Mode B (BB mode)>
Mode B (BB mode) is a state in which a transition is made when a special combination 1 (BB) is won in mode A (normal mode) or mode C (AT mode). The initial state of mode B (BB mode) is mode B1 (BB general mode). That is, when winning a special combination 1 (BB) in mode A (normal mode) or mode C (AT mode), first, the mode shifts to mode B1 (BB general mode).

  Further, in the mode B1 (BB general mode), when the special combination 2 (RB1) is won, the mode shifts to the mode B2 (RB1 mode), and when the special combination 3 (RB2) is won, the mode B3 (RB1) is selected. (RB2 mode). In the mode B2 (RB1 mode) or the mode B3 (RB2 mode), the mode shifts to the mode B1 (BB general mode) by 8 wins or 8 games.

  In this mode B (BB mode), when the total payout number of medals in the BB gaming state (RT1) exceeds a predetermined number (250 in this embodiment), mode A (normal) Mode) or mode C (AT mode). Specifically, when the mode B1 (BB mode) is terminated, if the user has AT right, the mode shifts to mode C (AT mode), and if the user does not have AT right, the mode shifts to mode A (normal mode). Here, the AT right is a right that can be shifted to mode C (AT mode), and the AT right means that the number of AT rights (also referred to as the number of AT sets) is 1 or more. In this embodiment, every time a special combination 3 (RB2) is won in the BB gaming state (RT1), the number of AT rights (AT set number) is incremented by one. Note that the number of AT games corresponding to one AT right (the number of games in the AT1 set) is composed of 50 or more games.

<Mode C (AT mode)>
Mode C (AT mode) is a state in which transition is made when there is an AT right at the end of mode B (BB mode). In mode C (AT mode), the number of AT games in one set is determined to be a predetermined number of games (50 games in the present embodiment), but a specific role (in this embodiment, special role 3 (in the RB2 gaming state) ( By internally winning RB2)), the number of AT games can be further increased (50 games in the present embodiment).

  In other words, in this embodiment, the AT right is awarded every time the special role 3 (RB2) is won and the RB2 game state is entered, and the AT game is achieved by the internal winning of the special role 3 (RB2) in the RB2 game state. Since the number is added (the number of AT games is not added in the internal winning of special role 3 (RB2) in the RB1 gaming state), the RB2 gaming state (mode B3) is advantageous in comparison with the RB1 gaming state (mode B2). It is in a state. The remaining AT rights (remaining number of AT sets) are stocked, and when all the AT games in the running AT mode are exhausted, if the AT right (number of AT sets) is stocked, Based on the AT1 set, an AT mode for a predetermined number of games is started.

  Mode C (AT mode) shifts to mode A (normal mode) when there is no AT right and the number of AT games becomes zero.

<Production by production image device>
Next, the effect performed by the effect image device 157 will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10. As described above, when the gaming state of the first sub-control unit 400 is in mode B (BB mode), mode B1 (BB general mode), mode B2 (RB1 mode), or mode B3 (RB2 mode) In one. In the effect in the BB mode, an effect image in which the effect mode is changed for each mode is displayed.

  9A to 9B show an example of the effect image of the mode B1 effect when the gaming state of the first sub-control unit 400 is in mode B1 (BB general mode). In the mode B1 effect, as shown in FIG. 9A, an effect image by a predetermined character (eg, dancer) is displayed, and the number of medals (eg, TOTAL0000) acquired during the BB game state (RT1) is displayed on the screen. When it is displayed on the upper right of the screen, 0 is displayed. In addition, when the special combination 2 (RB1) or special combination 3 (RB2) is won internally in the BB general gaming state (mode B1), as shown in FIG. The “RB target press notification” for notifying the symbol combination of the combination 3 (RB2) “seven 2 symbol-seven 2 symbol-BAR symbol” is executed.

  Specifically, the RB push notification shown in FIG. 9 (b) notifies the player of the special role 3 (RB2), which is an RB advantageous to the player, and notifies the player of the internal winning of the special role 3 (RB2). It is a production that makes you expect. Of course, since the symbol combination corresponding to the RB that has been internally won can be displayed on the active line, when the special winning 2 (RB1) is internally won, the RB push notification shown in FIG. 9B is performed. However, the symbol combination corresponding to the special combination 3 (RB2) is not displayed, but on the reel arrangement, in the left reel 110 and the middle reel 111, the Seven 1 symbol and the Seven 2 symbol are arranged adjacent to each other. Until the 3 stop operation, the player does not know which RB symbol combination is stopped and displayed on the active line. In addition, even if the push operation fails in the game in which the RB push notification is made, the special combination 2 (RB1) and the special combination 3 (RB2) carry the flag carry over, so that the push operation is challenged again in the next game. Is possible.

  FIG.9 (c) has shown an example of the effect image of the mode B2 effect in case the game state of the 1st sub control part 400 exists in mode B2 (RB1 mode). In the mode B2 effect, as shown in FIG. 9C, an effect image by a predetermined character (eg, dancer) is displayed, and an RB game state is displayed on the screen (eg, JAC is displayed at the top of the screen). ), And the number of medals acquired during the BB gaming state (RT1) (for example, 17 when TOTAL0017 is displayed on the upper right of the screen).

  FIG. 9D shows an example of the effect image of the mode B3 effect when the gaming state of the first sub-control unit 400 is in mode B3 (RB2 mode). As shown in FIG. 9D, the mode B3 effect displays an effect image by a predetermined character (for example, dancer) and is in an advantageous RB gaming state on the screen (for example, JAC is displayed at the top of the screen). And CHANCE characters are displayed in the center of the screen), and the number of medals acquired during the BB gaming state (RT1) (for example, 17 is displayed when TOTAL0017 is displayed on the upper right of the screen). .

  FIG. 10A is an example of an effect image when the gaming state of the first sub-control unit 400 is in mode B2 (RB1 mode) and the RB internal winning suggestion effect is executed in the mode B2 effect. The RB internal winning suggestion effect is only an indication (indicating that the RB (special role 2 (RB1) or special role 3 (RB2)) has been won internally, and does not indicate 100% certainty. ) And is executed both when (1) the RB is internally won (true) and (2) when the RB is not internally won (false). In other words, when the RB internal winning suggestion effect is executed, as will be described in detail later, in the BB general gaming state, in addition to the case where the RB is internally won, the RB was not internally won in the BB general gaming state. There is also a case where a winning lottery of an internal winning suggestion effect is won.

  10A-1 shows the first game in mode B2 (RB1 mode), FIG. 10A-2 shows the third game in mode B2 (RB1 mode), and FIG. 10A-3 shows the mode. B2 (RB1 mode) 5th game, FIG. 10 (a-4) shows the effect image of mode B2 (RB1 mode) 7th game. In this case, RB internal winning suggestion from the 3rd game Production has started. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 10 (a-2) to (a-4), the RB internal winning suggestion effect gradually increases the number of predetermined characters (dancers) over several games. This is a continuous production (step-up production), and as the number of predetermined characters increases (step-up production), it can be expected that the RB that is won internally is RB2. Note that, as described above, the RB internal winning suggestion effect is executed even in the case of false, so even if the step-up is performed, the RB internal winning is not determined.

  In the RB internal winning suggestion effect of this embodiment, the effect switching is performed at the time of the third stop operation of each game, and the step-up display is changed. (2 stop operation, 3rd stop operation), the start lever may be changed.

  The RB internal winning suggestion effect starts when the RB (RB1, RB2) is internally won in the RB1 gaming state, and ends when the RB won internally. That is, the RB internal winning suggestion effect is executed not only in the RB1 gaming state (RB gaming state) but also in the BB general gaming state after the end of the RB1 gaming state.

  FIG. 10B is an example of an effect image when the gaming state of the first sub-control unit 400 is in mode B3 (RB2 mode) and the RB2 internal winning confirmation effect is executed in the mode B3 effect. The RB2 internal winning confirmation effect is an effect indicating that 100% of the internal winning for the special role 3 (RB2) is confirmed. In the present embodiment, in the RB2 gaming state which is an advantageous RB gaming state, the RB2 internal winning confirmation effect is executed only when the internal winning is performed for the special role 3 (RB2) which is an advantageous RB role. . It should be noted that the RB2 internal winning confirmation effect is started from the time when RB2 is internally won in the RB2 gaming state, and is ended when the internal winning RB2 is won.

  That is, when the gaming state of the first sub-control unit 400 is in mode B3 (RB2 mode), even if special winning 2 (RB1) is won internally, the RB internal winning suggestion effect is not executed, and special When the winning combination of the combination 3 (RB2) is performed, the RB2 internal winning confirmation effect is executed instead of the RB internal winning suggestion effect. This is because if the RB internal winning suggestion effect is executed while in the advantageous RB2 gaming state, the progress of the advantageous game is disturbed and the sense of achievement of shifting to the advantageous RB gaming state is impaired. On the other hand, in the advantageous RB2 gaming state, and when the internal winning is in the special role 3 (RB2) which is an advantageous RB role, the advantageous RB gaming state is further given by executing the RB2 internal winning finalization effect. A new sense of accomplishment is given.

  Specifically, in the RB2 internal winning finalization effect, as shown in FIG. 10 (b-2), in the game in which RB2 gaming state special role 3 (RB2) was internally won, 50 AT games were added. Is an effect of displaying an effect image (for example, an image indicating +50). In the mode B3 effect and the mode B1 effect after executing the RB2 internal winning finalization effect, as shown in FIGS. 10 (b-3) and (b-4), the special combination 3 (RB2) won internally. An image for which a symbol combination is aimed (for example, an image of “seven 2 symbol-seven 2 symbol-BAR symbol” which is a symbol combination of special role 3 (RB2) and a confirmed character image beside it) is displayed.

  In the present embodiment, the RB2 internal winning confirmation effect is executed in the mode B3 effect, but the RB2 internal winning confirmation effect may be executed in the mode B2 effect. In other words, when the gaming state of the first sub-control unit 400 is in mode B2 (RB1 mode) and the special combination 3 (RB2) is internally won, the RB2 internal winning confirmation effect is executed instead of the RB internal winning suggestion effect. May be. Also, the RB2 internal winning confirmation effect may be executed together with the RB internal winning suggestion effect.

<Execution control of RB internal winning suggestion effect>
Next, execution control of the RB internal winning suggestion effect will be described with reference to FIGS. As described above, in the present embodiment, when a predetermined condition is satisfied in the RB1 gaming state (specifically, when the RB is internally won as described above, when the RB internal winning suggestion effect winning lottery is won) However, it is not always executed when the predetermined condition is satisfied. The RB internal winning suggestion effect is an effect that is executed when the RB is internally won again in the RB gaming state, that is, during the RB gaming state and during the RB internal winning. In other words, the RB winning suggestion indicated by the currently running RB internal winning suggestion indicates that the RB gaming state started by winning the RB that has already won the internal winning after the currently running RB gaming state ends. Indicates that it exists. However, the RB gaming state that should be executed in the future may not be executed. For example, (1) the BB end condition (the number of payouts exceeding 250) is satisfied before the currently executing RB gaming state ends, or (2) after the RB gaming state ends In the BB general gaming state, the BB end condition is satisfied first. In such a case, executing the RB internal winning suggestion effect improves the player's expectation on the other hand, and on the contrary, confuses the player. In such a case, the RB internal winning suggestion effect is not executed.

  FIG. 11 shows an example of the case where the RB internal winning suggestion effect is not executed. In the case of (1) above, that is, in the RB1 gaming state, RB (both RB1 and RB2 are acceptable) is internally won. Since the BB end condition is satisfied before the gaming state ends, a timing chart in a case where the RB internal winning suggestion effect is not executed is shown.

  Both time points t1 and t2 in FIG. 11 show a case where special combination 2 (RB1) is internally won in the RB gaming state, but at time points t1 and t2, the BB gaming state (RT1) during the RB1 gaming state. ) Does not end, the RB internal winning suggestion effect is executed. On the other hand, at time point t3, the BB gaming state (RT1) ends during the RB1 gaming state, so the RB internal winning suggestion effect is not executed. In the present embodiment, in the RB gaming state, nine medals are surely paid out for each game (see FIG. 6), so when the RB is won internally, the total number of payouts in the remaining RB gaming state games Can be calculated. Therefore, the slot machine 100 finishes the currently running RB1 gaming state by taking into account the current total number of payouts in the BB gaming state (RT1) and the total number of payouts in the remaining RB gaming state games. It is possible to determine whether or not the BB end condition is satisfied before the operation is performed. As a result, when the BB end condition is not satisfied while the RB gaming state is being executed (time t1, t2 in FIG. 11), the slot machine 100 executes the RB internal winning suggestion effect, If the BB end condition is satisfied while the RB gaming state is being executed (time t3 in FIG. 11), the RB internal winning suggestion effect is not executed, so the RB internal winning suggestion effect confuses the player. There is no end.

  FIG. 11 shows an example in which the RB internal winning suggestion effect is not executed when the special combination 3 (RB2) is internally won at time t3. However, as described above, the RB internal winning suggestion effect is RB (RB1, RB1,. Since it is executed when RB2) is internally won, the RB internal winning suggestion effect may not be executed when the special combination 2 (RB1) is internally won at time t3.

  FIG. 12 shows another example of the case where the RB internal winning suggestion effect is not executed. In the case of (2) above, that is, in the RB1 gaming state, the RB (RB1 or RB2 is acceptable) is internally won. The RB internal winning suggestion effect is executed once, but in the BB general gaming state after the end of the RB1 gaming state, since the BB end condition is satisfied, the RB internal winning being executed is executed before the BB end condition is satisfied. The timing chart in the case of ending the suggestion effect is shown.

  Both time points t1 and t2 in FIG. 12 show a case where the special combination 2 (RB1) is internally won in the RB1 gaming state, but at the time points t1 and t2, the BB gaming state (RT1) during the RB1 gaming state. ) Does not end, the RB internal winning suggestion effect is executed. Here, the RB internal winning suggestion effect started from the time point t2 is continuously executed even when the game state of the main control unit 300 shifts from the RB1 game state to the BB general game state. However, at the time t3 in the BB general gaming state, when the small wins 1, 2, and 3 are internally won and the bell wins, the BB end condition is satisfied. At the time of internal winning in the small roles 1, 2, and 3 before being established, the currently running RB internal winning suggestion effect is terminated. In the present embodiment, in the BB general gaming state, when the small wins 1, 2, and 3 are won internally, nine medals are surely paid out, so the slot machine 100 is in the BB gaming state (RT1). By considering the current total number of payouts and the number of payouts (9) in the game, it can be determined whether or not the BB end condition is satisfied in the game in the BB general gaming state. As a result, when the BB end condition is satisfied in the game in the BB general gaming state (time t3 in FIG. 12), the slot machine 100 displays the RB internal winning suggestion effect being executed and the medal for which the BB end condition is satisfied. Since it is made to end before paying out, the RB internal winning suggestion effect does not confuse the player.

  FIG. 12 shows an example in which the RB internal winning suggestion effect started when the special combination 2 (RB1) is internally won at time t2 ends at the time t3. However, as described above, the internal winning suggestion effect is shown. Is executed when RB (RB1, RB2) is internally won, so that the RB internal winning suggestion effect that was started when special winning 3 (RB2) is internally won at time t2 is terminated at time t3. Also good.

FIG. 13 shows still another example when the RB internal winning suggestion effect is not executed. In the present embodiment, when the RB (RB1, RB2) is internally won in the RB1 gaming state, the RB internal winning suggestion effect is performed except in the cases (1) and (2) above. However, in the RB2 gaming state, When RB (RB1, RB2) is won internally, the RB internal winning suggestion effect is not performed. More specifically, (3) If RB1 is won internally in RB2 gaming state, no RB internal winning suggestion effect is performed. (4) If RB2 is internally won in RB2 gaming state, RB winning finalization effect is performed. Like to do. FIG. 13 shows a timing chart in the case of (3), that is, in the case where RB1 is internally won in the RB2 gaming state and the RB internal winning suggestion effect is not executed.
At time t1 in FIG. 13, when the special combination 3 (RB2) is internally won in the RB1 gaming state and the BB gaming state (RT1) does not end during the RB1 gaming state, the RB internal winning suggestion effect is executed. The time t2 indicates a case where the special combination 2 (RB1) is internally won in the RB2 gaming state, so that the RB internal winning suggestion effect is not executed. Note that when the special combination 3 (RB2) is internally won at time t2, the RB2 internal winning confirmation effect is executed (see FIG. 10B).

  As described above, in this embodiment, when a transition is made from the BB general game to the RB2 gaming state, which is an advantageous gaming state, the achievement of the transition to the advantageous gaming state is not impaired. I don't dare to make a winning suggestion.

  Hereinafter, the operation of the slot machine 100 will be described based on the effect contents of the mode B (BB mode) described above.

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

  The main process of the main control unit is performed mainly by the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300, and the CPU 304 repeatedly executes the main process of the main control unit in FIG.

  When the power is turned on, first, various initial settings are made in step S101. In this initial setting, setting of a stack initial value to the stack pointer (SP) of the CPU 304, setting of interrupt prohibition, initial setting of the I / O 310, initial setting of various variables stored in the RAM 308, operation permission to the WDT 314, and initial setting Set the value.

  In step S102, medal insertion / start operation acceptance processing is executed. Here, it is checked whether or not a medal has been inserted, and the winning line display lamp 120 is turned on in response to the insertion of the medal. In addition, preparation is made for transmitting a medal insertion command indicating that a medal has been inserted to the first sub-control unit 400. Note that when a re-win is won in the previous game, a process of inserting the same number of medals as the number of medals inserted in the previous game is performed, so that it is not necessary for the player to insert medals. Also, it is checked whether or not the start lever 135 has been operated. If it is determined that the start operation has been performed, the number of inserted medals is determined and the start lever 135 is operated with respect to the first sub-control unit 400. Prepare to send a start lever acceptance command indicating that.

  In step S103, the number of inserted medals is determined, and an effective winning line is determined.

  In step S104, the random number generated by the random number generation circuit 316 is acquired.

  In step S105, a winning combination internal lottery process is performed. In the winning combination internal lottery process, the winning combination lottery table stored in the ROM 306 is read according to the current gaming state, and the internal lottery is performed using this and the random value acquired in step S104. As a result of the internal lottery, when any winning combination (including an operating combination) is won internally, the condition device (flag) of the internal winning combination is activated (the winning combination flag is turned ON). Also, in this step S105, preparation is made for transmitting an internal lottery command indicating the result of the winning combination internal lottery to the first sub-control unit 400. For example, when a re-game (replay) is won internally, the internal lottery command indicating that the re-game (replay) is internally won is prepared for transmission to the first sub-control unit 400, and the winning combination internal lottery If the result is a loss (no winning combination), preparation for transmitting an internal lottery command indicating a loss to the first sub-control unit 400 is made.

  In step S106, reel stop data is generated based on the internal lottery result in step S105.

  In step S107, the rotation of all reels 110 to 112 is started. Further, in this step S107, preparations are made for transmitting a spinning cylinder rotation start command indicating that the reels 110 to 112 have started to rotate to the first sub-control unit 400.

  In step S108, the stop buttons 137 to 139 can be received. When any one of the stop buttons is pressed, any one of the reels 110 to 112 corresponding to the pressed stop button is generated in step S106. Stop based on.

  In this step S108, for each stop operation, a stop button reception command relating to the stop buttons 137 to 139 that have been operated to stop (specifically, for the first stop operation, the stop button reception 1 command, the second stop operation In response to the stop button reception 2 command and the third stop operation, the stop button reception 3 command) is prepared for transmission to the first sub-control unit 400. Reel stop command related to the stop position (specifically, a reel stop 1 command for the first stop reel, a reel stop 2 command for the second stop operation, and a reel stop for the third stop operation. 3 commands) is prepared for transmission to the first sub-control unit 400.

  In step S109, display determination (winning determination) is performed. Here, when a picture combination corresponding to some winning combination is displayed on the activated winning line 114, it is determined that the winning combination is won. For example, if “watermelon symbol-watermelon symbol-watermelon symbol” is aligned on the activated winning line, it is determined that the watermelon symbol is won. Moreover, in this step S110, preparation for transmitting a display determination command indicating the result of the display determination to the first sub-control unit 400 is made.

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

  In step S111, a game state control process is performed in which control for shifting the game state is performed. For example, in the case of BB (Big Bonus) winning, preparation is made so that the BB gaming state (RT1 mode) can be started from the next time. In step S111, preparation is made for transmitting a game state update command indicating the game state. For example, when the gaming state is the BB general gaming state, preparation is made for transmitting a game information update command indicating the BB general gaming state.

  Thus, one game is completed. Thereafter, returning to step S102 and repeating the above-described processing, the game proceeds.

  The various commands prepared in the above steps are transmitted in a command setting transmission process (step S206 in FIG. 15) of the main control unit timer interrupt process described later.

<Main control unit timer interrupt processing>
Next, a main control unit timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing the flow of the main control unit timer interrupt process.

  The main control unit 300 includes a counter timer 312 that generates a timer interrupt signal at a predetermined cycle (in this embodiment, about once every 1.5 ms), and the main control unit timer is triggered by this timer interrupt signal. Interrupt processing is executed at a predetermined cycle.

  In step S201, a timer interrupt start process is performed. In this timer interrupt start process, a process of temporarily saving each register value of the CPU 304 to the stack area is performed.

  In step S202, the WDT is periodically updated (so that the count value of the WDT 314 exceeds the initial set value (32.8 ms in the present embodiment) and no WDT interruption occurs (so as not to detect a processing abnormality). In the embodiment, the restart is performed once in about 1.5 ms which is the period of the main control unit timer interrupt.

  In step S203, input port state update processing is performed. In this input port status update process, the detection signals of the sensor circuits 320 of the various sensors 318 are input via the input ports of the I / O 310 to monitor the presence or absence of the detection signals, and each of the various sensors 318 is partitioned in the RAM 308. Store in the provided signal state storage area.

  In step S204, various game processes are performed. Specifically, an interrupt status is acquired (various interrupt statuses are acquired based on signals from various sensors 318), and processing according to this status is performed. For example, if the interrupt status is in the medal insertion process, the medal insertion acceptance process is performed. If the interrupt status is in the payout process, the medal payout process is performed.

  In step S205, timer update processing is performed. Various timers are updated for each time unit.

  In step S206, command setting transmission processing is performed, and various commands are transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400. Note that the output schedule information transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400 is composed of 16 bits in the present embodiment, bit 15 is strobe information (indicating that data is set when ON), bit 11 -14 is a command type (in this embodiment, a basic command, a start lever reception command, an internal lottery command, a rotation rotation start command for starting the rotation of the reels 110 to 112, and an operation of the stop buttons 137 to 139 A stop button reception command, a reel stop command accompanying a stop process of the reels 110 to 112, a payout number command accompanying the medal payout process, a payout end command, etc.), bits 0 to 10 are command data (predetermined information corresponding to the command type) It consists of.

  The first sub-control unit 400 can determine the production control according to the change of the game control in the main control unit 300 by the command type included in the received output schedule information, and is included in the output schedule information. Based on the information of the command data, it is possible to determine the content of the effect control.

  In step S207, external signal setting processing is performed. In this external signal setting process, the game information stored in the RAM 308 is output to the information input circuit 652 that is separate from the slot machine 100 via the information output circuit 334.

  In step S208, device monitoring processing is performed. In this device monitoring process, first, the signal states of the various sensors 318 stored in the signal state storage area in step S703 are read, and the presence / absence of errors relating to medal insertion abnormality and medal payout abnormality is monitored, and when an error is detected. Performs error handling. Further, according to the current gaming state, the medal selector 170 (medal blocker in which the solenoid provided in the medal selector 170 operates), various lamps 338, and various 7-segment (SEG) indicators are set.

  In step S209, it is monitored whether or not the low voltage signal is on. Then, when the low voltage signal is on (when power supply cutoff is detected), the process proceeds to step S211. When the low voltage signal is off (when power supply cutoff is not detected), the process proceeds to step S210.

  In step S210, various processes for ending the timer interrupt end process are performed. In this timer interrupt end process, the value of each register temporarily saved in step S201 is set in each original register. Thereafter, the process returns to the main process of the main control unit shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, in step S211, a specific variable or stack pointer for returning to the power-off state at the time of power recovery is saved as a return data in a predetermined area of the RAM 308, and power-off processing such as input / output port initialization is performed. Then, the process returns to the main control unit main process shown in FIG.

<Processing of First Sub-Control Unit 400>
The process of the 1st sub control part 400 is demonstrated using FIG. FIG. 5A is a flowchart of main processing executed by the CPU 404 of the first sub control unit 400. FIG. 4B is a flowchart of command input processing of the first sub-control unit 400, and FIG. 4C is a flowchart of command reception interrupt processing of the first sub-control unit 400. FIG. These are the flowcharts of the timer interruption process of the 1st sub control part 400. FIG.

  When the power is turned on, initial setting is first executed in step S301. In this initial setting, initial setting of the input / output port, initialization processing of the storage area in the RAM 408, and the like are performed.

  In step S302, it is determined whether or not the timer variable is 10 or more, and this process is repeated until the timer variable becomes 10. When the timer variable becomes 10 or more, the process proceeds to step S303.

  In step S303, 0 is substituted into the timer variable.

  In step S304, first sub-control unit command input processing (details will be described later) is performed. In the first sub control unit command input process, it is determined whether or not a command has been received from the main control unit 300. When a command is received, a process corresponding to the received command is performed.

  In step S305, an effect control process is performed. For example, when there is a new command in step S304, the effect data is read from the ROM 406 based on the result of each event process (for example, effect setting process, gaming state control process, etc.) corresponding to this command. When the effect data needs to be updated, the effect data of each effect device (speaker, lamp, liquid crystal image display device, shutter, etc.) is updated.

  In step S306, a sound control process is performed. In the sound control process, if there is a command to the sound source IC 418 in the effect data read in step S305, this command is output to the sound source IC 418.

  In step S307, lamp control processing is performed. In the lamp control process, if there is a command to various lamps 420 in the effect data read in step S305, this command is output to the drive circuit 422.

  In step S308, information output processing is performed. In the information output process, if there is a control command to be transmitted to the second sub-control unit 500 in the effect data read in step S305, the control command is set to be output, and the process returns to step S302. As a result, the set control command is transmitted to the second sub-control unit 500.

  Next, the first sub control unit 400 command input process will be described with reference to FIG. The first sub control unit 400 command input process is a flowchart showing the flow of the first sub control unit 400 command input process in step S304 of FIG.

  In step S401, it is determined whether or not there is an unprocessed command in the command storage area of the RAM 408. If there is an unprocessed command, the process proceeds to step S402. If there is no unprocessed command, the first sub-control unit 400 command input process is terminated.

  In step S402, the process jumps to a process corresponding to an unprocessed command. For example, when the unprocessed command is an internal lottery command, an internal lottery process (details will be described later) is executed. When the unprocessed command is a medal payout command indicating medal payout, a medal payout process (explanation) If the unprocessed command is an internal lottery command, a game state update process (details will be described later) is executed when the command is a game state update command.

  Next, the command reception interrupt process of the first sub-control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. This command reception interrupt process is a process executed when the first sub-control unit 400 detects a strobe signal output from the main control unit 300. In step S501 of the command reception interrupt process, the command output from the main control unit 300 is stored in the command storage area provided in the RAM 408 as an unprocessed command.

  Next, the first sub control unit timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 404 of the first sub control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. The first sub-control unit 400 includes a hardware timer that generates a timer interrupt at a predetermined cycle (in this embodiment, once every 2 ms). Execute in the cycle.

  In step S601, 1 is added to the value of the timer variable storage area of the RAM 408 described in step S302 in the first sub-control unit main process shown in FIG. Therefore, in step S602, the value of the timer variable is determined to be 10 or more every 20 ms (2 ms × 10).

  In step S602, various update processes such as an effect random number update process are performed.

<Internal lottery processing>
Next, the internal lottery process will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the internal lottery process executed when the unprocessed command is an internal lottery command in step S402 of FIG. 16B.

  In step S1101, the internal lottery information is updated based on the internal lottery command.

  In step S1102, AT related processing related to AT is executed based on the updated internal lottery information. For example, processing relating to the addition of the number of games in the AT mode is performed, and right granting in the AT mode and addition of the number of games in the AT mode are performed. In this embodiment, as described above, when RB2 is won internally in the RB1 gaming state, the number of games in the AT mode is not added, but when RB2 is internally won in the RB2 gaming state, the AT mode The number of games will be added. That is, in the present embodiment, when the first sub control unit 400 is in mode B (BB mode), it is easier to add the number of games in the AT mode in mode B3 than in mode B1 or mode B2.

  In step S1103, an effect setting process (described in detail later) is executed based on the updated internal lottery information.

  In step S1104, other processing based on the internal lottery command is executed.

<Production setting process>
Next, the effect setting process will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the effect setting process in step S1103 of FIG.

  In step S1201, it is determined whether or not the gaming state of the first sub-control unit 400 is mode A. If the gaming state of the first sub-control unit 400 is mode A (normal mode), the process proceeds to step S1202, and if not, the process proceeds to step S1203.

  In step S1202, a mode A effect setting process (normal mode effect setting process) for effect setting of mode A (normal mode) is executed.

  In step S1203, it is determined whether or not the gaming state of the first sub-control unit 400 is mode B1 (BB general mode). If the gaming state of the first sub-control unit 400 is mode B1 (BB general mode), the process proceeds to step S1204. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step S1205.

  In step S1204, a mode B1 effect setting process (BB general mode effect setting process; details will be described later) for effect setting in mode B1 (BB general mode) is executed.

  In step S1205, it is determined whether or not the gaming state of the first sub-control unit 400 is mode B2 (RB1 mode). If the gaming state of the first sub-control unit 400 is mode B2 (RB1 mode), the process proceeds to step S1206; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S1207.

  In step S1206, a mode B2 effect setting process (RB1 mode effect setting process; details will be described later) for effect setting in mode B2 (RB1 mode) is executed.

  In step S1207, it is determined whether or not the gaming state of the first sub-control unit 400 is mode B3 (RB2 mode). If the gaming state of the first sub-control unit 400 is mode B3 (RB2 mode), the process proceeds to step S1208; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S1209.

  In step S1208, a mode B3 effect setting process (RB2 mode effect setting process; details will be described later) for effect setting in mode B3 (RB2 mode) is executed.

  In step S1209, since the gaming state of the first sub-control unit 400 is mode C (AT mode), a mode C effect setting process (AT mode effect setting process) for effect setting of mode C is executed. In the mode C effect setting process (AT mode effect setting process), the number of AT games is subtracted every time the game is consumed.

<Mode B1 effect setting process>
FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the mode B1 effect setting process (BB general mode) in step S1204 of FIG.

  In step S1301, internal lottery information included in the internal lottery command is acquired.

  In step S1302, based on the acquired internal lottery information, it is determined whether or not a small combination 1, 2, 3 (NO12 in FIG. 6) has been won internally. If the small combination 1, 2, 3 is won internally, the process proceeds to step S1304. If not, the process proceeds to step S1303.

  In step S1303, in the BB general gaming state, the small combination 1, 2 and 3 were not internally won, that is, the special combination 2 (RB1) or special combination 3 (RB2) was internally won (in NO2 or 3 in FIG. 6). Since the internal winning) is set, the RB target effect (see FIG. 9B) is set, and the process proceeds to step 1305. In the case of performing the process of step S1303, (1) special game 2 (RB1) or special game 3 (RB2) is won internally in the game, and (2) special game 2 (RB1) or special game There is a case where a combination 3 (RB2) is being won internally (special combination 2 (RB1) or special combination 3 (RB2) was won internally in the game before the game).

  On the other hand, in step S1304, as a result of the internal winning of the small roles 1, 2, and 3, a medal payout occurs.

  In step S1305, other effect setting processing in mode B1 is performed. For example, an operation for switching the background image in the BB general gaming state is set by operating the start lever 135.

<Direction continuation determination process>
FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the effect continuation determination process in step S1304 of FIG.

  In step S1401, the total payout number at the present time in the BB gaming state (RT1) is acquired.

  In step S1402, in the current game, winning a small combination 1, 2, 3 and 9 medals will be paid out, 9 is added to the total payout number acquired in step S1401.

  In step S1403, it is determined whether or not the total number of payouts plus 9 exceeds 250. When it exceeds 250 sheets, it progresses to step S1404, and when it does not exceed 250 sheets, an effect continuation determination process is complete | finished.

  In step S1404, since the total payout number in the BB gaming state (RT1) exceeds 250 in this game's medal payout and the BB end condition is satisfied, the end setting of the RB internal winning suggestion effect and the RB2 internal winning finalization effect (Corresponding to time t3 in FIG. 12). As a result, when the RB internal winning suggestion effect or the RB2 internal winning confirmation effect is currently being executed, the RB internal winning suggestion being executed is executed before the BB end condition is satisfied based on the start lever operation. The effect or the RB2 internal winning confirmation effect is cancelled.

<Mode B2 effect setting process>
FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the mode B2 effect setting process in step S1206 of FIG.

  In step S1501, internal lottery information included in the internal lottery command is acquired.

  In step S1502, based on the acquired internal lottery information, an RB internal winning suggestion setting process (described later in detail) is executed.

  In step S1503, other effect setting processing in mode B2 is performed. For example, based on the operation of the start lever 135, an effect is set for switching the background image in the RB1 gaming state.

<RB internal winning suggestion effect setting processing>
FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the RB internal winning suggestion effect setting process in step S1502 of FIG.

  In step S1601, it is determined based on the acquired internal lottery information whether the special combination 2 (RB1) or special combination 3 (RB2) has been won internally in the game. If the special combination 2 (RB1) or special combination 3 (RB2) is won internally, the process proceeds to step S1603. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step S1602.

  In step S1602, an execution lottery of the RB internal winning suggestion effect is performed. If a win is made, the process proceeds to step S1603. If not winning, the RB internal winning suggestion effect setting process is terminated. The execution lottery of the RB internal winning suggestion effect in step S1602 is performed when (1) the special winning combination 2 (RB1) and the special winning combination 3 (RB2) are not won internally in the game. 2) Before the previous game, the RB internal winning suggestion effect is set (see step S1607 described later), and the RB internal winning suggestion effect may be being executed. In the case of (1), the RB internal winning suggestion effect is executed. In the case of (2), a lottery of whether or not to perform step-up of the RB internal winning suggestion effect being performed is performed.

  In step S1603, the total payout number at the current time in the BB gaming state (RT1) is acquired. Note that the total payout number at the current time in the BB gaming state (RT1) is updated in the medal payout process (not described).

  In step S1604, the payout possible number to be paid out in the remaining game in the RB1 gaming state is calculated. For example, if the game is the fifth game in the RB1 gaming state, 36 (= 9 × 4 games) are paid out in the remaining games in the RB1 gaming state, so the payout possible number is 36.

  In step S1605, the payable number is added to the total payout number acquired in step S1601.

  In step S1606, it is determined whether or not the calculated number obtained by adding the payable number to the total payout number exceeds 250. When the number exceeds 250, the BB end condition is satisfied during the RB1 gaming state, so the RB internal winning suggestion effect setting process ends. When the number does not exceed 250, the process proceeds to step S1607.

  In step S1607, an RB internal winning suggestion effect (see FIG. 10A) is set. In the present embodiment, whether or not the RB has been internally won, whether or not the type of the RB that has been internally won (RB1 or RB2), whether or not the RB internal winning suggestion effect is being executed, Depending on which step), the content of the effect of the RB internal winning suggestion effect is set.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, in the RB1 gaming state, (1) special combination 2 (RB1), special combination 3 (RB2) is won internally, or (2) special combination 2 (RB1) and special combination 3 ( If neither of RB2) was won internally, but the RB internal winning suggestion effect execution lottery was won, and the number of medals paid out in the RB1 gaming state does not exceed 250, Set the winning suggestion effect. The RB internal winning suggestion effect executed when the condition (1) is satisfied is a true RB internal winning suggestion effect, and the RB internal winning suggestion effect executed when the condition (2) is satisfied is a false RB internal. This is also a winning suggestion. In this embodiment, the fake RB internal winning suggestion effect is executed, but the fake RB internal winning suggestion effect may not be executed.

  In the case of YES in step S1606, in the case of time t3 in FIG. 11 (when RB2 is internally won in the RB1 gaming state, the calculated number obtained by adding the payable number to the total payout number exceeds 250 sheets). , RB internal winning suggestion effect is not executed).

<Mode B3 effect setting process>
FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the mode B3 effect setting process in step S1208 of FIG.

  In step S1701, internal lottery information included in the internal lottery command is acquired.

  In step S1702, based on the acquired internal lottery information, it is determined whether or not special combination 3 (RB2) has been won internally. If the special combination 3 (RB2) is won internally, the process proceeds to step S1703; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S1705.

  In step S1703, RB2 internal winning confirmation effect setting processing (details will be described later) is executed.

In step S1704, since the special combination 3 (RB2) is won internally in the RB2 gaming state, the number of AT games is added. In this embodiment, as described above, 50 games are added, but the details are as follows according to the presence or absence of the current number of AT games.
(1) When there are no AT games at the present time The first sub-control unit 400 shifts from the normal gaming state (RT0) in mode A (normal mode) to the BB general gaming state, and the first RB2 from the BB general gaming state In the case of transitioning to the gaming state, if the internal winning of special role 3 (RB2) is made in this first RB2 gaming state, the number of AT games at the time of special winning 3 (RB2) internal winning is 0 (BB When winning RB2 in the general gaming state, one set (50 games) of AT rights is granted, but since the number of AT games corresponding to this one set is granted at the end of the BB gaming state (RT2), at this time 0) By adding 50 games, the number of AT games becomes 50 (= 0 + 50). At the end of the BB gaming state (RT1), 50 additional games are added to the 50 games corresponding to the one set, so the number of AT games is 100 games.
(2) When there are AT games at the present time The first sub-control unit 400 shifts from the normal gaming state (RT0) in the mode C (AT mode) to the BB general gaming state, and the first RB2 from the BB general gaming state. In the case of the transition to the gaming state, when the internal winning of the special combination 3 (RB2) is made in the first RB2 gaming state, the number of AT games at the special winning 3 (RB2) internal winning is not 0 ( There is a remaining AT game number in mode C), and 50 games are added to the remaining AT game number. In addition, when the first sub-control unit 400 shifts from the normal gaming state (RT0) in the mode A (normal mode) to the BB general gaming state, and shifts from the BB general gaming state to the second RB2 gaming state. In the second RB2 gaming state, when the special combination 3 (RB2) is won internally, 50 games are added to the current number of AT games 50.

  In step S1705, other effect setting processing in mode B3 is performed. For example, an operation for changing the background image in the RB2 gaming state is set by operating the start lever 135.

<RB2 internal winning finalization setting process>
FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the RB2 internal winning confirmation effect setting process in step S1703 of FIG.

  In step S1801, the total payout number at the current time in the BB gaming state (RT1) is acquired.

  In step S1802, the payout possible number to be paid out in the remaining game in the RB2 gaming state is calculated. For example, if the game is the fifth game in the RB2 gaming state, 36 (= 9 × 4 games) are paid out in the remaining games in the RB1 gaming state, so the payable number is 36.

  In step S1803, the payable number is added to the total payout number acquired in step S1801.

  In step S1804, it is determined whether the calculated number obtained by adding the payable number to the total payout number exceeds 250. When the number exceeds 250, the BB end condition is satisfied in the RB2 gaming state, so the RB2 internal winning confirmation effect setting process ends. When the number does not exceed 250, the process proceeds to step S1805.

  In step S1805, an RB2 internal winning confirmation effect (see FIG. 10B) is set.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the special combination 3 (RB2) is internally won in the RB2 gaming state and the number of medals paid out in the RB2 gaming state does not exceed 250, the RB internal winning suggestion effect is achieved. RB2 internal winning finalization effect is set without setting. On the other hand, when the special combination 2 (RB1) is won internally in the RB2 gaming state, neither the RB internal winning suggestion effect nor the RB2 internal winning finalization effect is set.

  Note that NO in step S1702 of FIG. 23 corresponds to the case of time t2 in FIG.

<Processing at game state update>
Next, the game state update process will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the game state update process executed when the unprocessed command is a game state update command in step S402 of FIG. 16B.

  In step S1901, the RT information indicating the gaming state (RT) of the main control unit 300 is updated based on the gaming state update command.

  In step S1902, a mode transition process for transitioning the gaming state (mode) of the first sub-control unit 400 is executed based on the updated RT information. For example, in mode A (normal mode), when a special combination 1 (BB) is won, the mode shifts to mode B1 (BB general mode) of mode B (BB mode). Further, when the special combination 2 (RB1) is won in the mode B1 (BB general mode), the mode shifts to the mode B2 (RB1 mode), and the special combination 3 (RB2) is performed in the mode B1 (BB general mode). When winning, the mode is shifted to mode B3 (RB2 mode). In the mode B2 (RB1 mode) or the mode B3 (RB2 mode), the mode shifts to the mode B1 (BB general mode) by 8 wins or 8 games. Further, in this mode B (BB mode), when the total number of medals paid out in the BB gaming state (RT1) exceeds a predetermined number (250 in this embodiment), and has AT rights Shifts to mode C (AT mode), and shifts to mode A (normal mode) when it does not have the AT right. Mode C (AT mode) shifts to mode A (normal mode) when there is no AT right and the number of AT games becomes zero.

  In step S1903, other processing based on the game state update command is executed.

<Processing of second sub-control unit>
The process of the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6A is a flowchart of main processing executed by the CPU 504 of the second sub-control unit 500. FIG. 7B is a flowchart of command reception interrupt processing of the second sub control unit 500. FIG. 8C is a flowchart of the timer interrupt process of the second sub control unit 500. FIG. 4D is a flowchart of the image control process of the second sub control unit 500.

  First, the main process of the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG.

  When power is turned on, initialization processing is first executed in step S2101. In this initialization process, input / output port initialization, storage area initialization in the RAM 508, and the like are performed.

  In step S2102, it is determined whether or not the timer variable is 10 or more, and this process is repeated until the timer variable becomes 10. When the timer variable becomes 10 or more, the process proceeds to step S2103.

  In step S2103, 0 is assigned to the timer variable.

  In step S2104, command processing is performed. The CPU 504 of the second sub control unit 500 determines whether a command has been received from the CPU 404 of the first sub control unit 400.

  In step S2105, effect control processing is performed. For example, when there is a new command in step S2104, processing such as reading the effect data corresponding to this command from the ROM 506 is performed, and when it is necessary to update the effect data, the effect data is updated.

  In step S2106, if there is a shutter control command in the effect data read in step S2105, shutter control corresponding to this command is performed.

  In step S2107, if there is an image control command in the effect data read in step S2105, image control corresponding to this command is performed (details will be described later), and the process returns to step S2102.

  Next, the command reception interrupt process of the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. This command reception interrupt process is a process executed when the second sub control unit 500 detects the strobe signal output from the first sub control unit 400.

  In step S2201 of the command reception interrupt process, the command output from the first sub-control unit 400 is stored as an unprocessed command in a command storage area provided in the RAM 508.

  Next, the second sub control unit timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 504 of the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. The second sub-control unit 500 includes a hardware timer that generates a timer interrupt at a predetermined cycle, and executes a timer interrupt process at a predetermined cycle triggered by this timer interrupt.

  In step S2301, 1 is added to the value of the timer variable storage area of the RAM 508 described in step S2102 in the second sub-control unit main process shown in FIG.

  In step S2302, various update processes for updating the production random number and the like are performed.

  Next, the image control processing of the second sub control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4D is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the image control process in step S2107 in FIG.

  In step S2401, an instruction to transfer image data is issued. Here, the CPU 504 first swaps the designation of the display areas A and B in the VRAM 536. As a result, an image of one frame stored in the display area not designated as the drawing area is displayed on the effect image display device 157. Next, the CPU 504 sets ROM coordinates (transfer source address of the ROM 506), VRAM coordinates (transfer destination address of the VRAM 536), and the like in the attribute register of the VDP 534 based on the position information table and the like, and then the image from the ROM 506 to the VRAM 536. Set an instruction to start data transfer. The VDP 534 transfers the image data from the ROM 506 to the VRAM 536 based on the command set in the attribute register. Thereafter, the VDP 534 outputs a transfer end interrupt signal to the CPU 504.

  In step S2402, it is determined whether or not a transfer end interrupt signal from VDP 534 is input. If a transfer end interrupt signal is input, the process proceeds to step S2403; otherwise, a transfer end interrupt signal is input. Wait for it.

  In step S2403, parameters are set based on the production scenario configuration table and attribute data. Here, in order to form a display image in the display area A or B of the VRAM 536 based on the image data transferred to the VRAM 536 in step S2401, the CPU 504 includes information on image data constituting the display image (coordinate axes and image sizes of the VRAM 536). , VRAM coordinates (arrangement coordinates, etc.) are instructed to the VDP 534. The VDP 534 performs parameter setting in accordance with the attribute based on the instruction stored in the attribute register.

  In step S2404, a drawing instruction is performed. In this drawing instruction, the CPU 504 instructs the VDP 534 to start drawing an image. The VDP 534 starts drawing an image in the frame buffer in accordance with an instruction from the CPU 504.

  In step S2405, it is determined whether or not a generation end interrupt signal from the VDP 534 is input based on the end of image drawing. If the generation end interrupt signal is input, the process proceeds to step S2406. If not, the generation end interrupt signal is determined. Wait for input.

  In step S2406, a scene display counter that is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 508 and counts how many scene images have been generated is incremented (+1), and the process ends.

<Others>
In the above embodiment, the end condition for the BB gaming state (RT1) is a payout of medals exceeding a prescribed number (for example, 250) in the BB gaming state (RT1). However, the end of the BB gaming state (RT1) The conditions are not limited to this. For example, the BB gaming state (RT1) end condition may be (1) the number of games in the BB gaming state (RT1) and (2) the number of RB winnings in the BB gaming state (RT1).

  Further, in the present embodiment, in the RB gaming state (RB1 gaming state, RB2 gaming state), nine medals are surely paid out for each game. The number of payouts to be paid out in the RB gaming state is calculated by multiplying the number of remaining games in the RB gaming state, and it is determined whether or not the BB gaming state ends during the RB gaming state. However, when the number of payouts for each game is different in the RB gaming state, the payout number in the RB gaming state is calculated for each game in consideration of the payout status of the game, and the BB gaming state It may be determined whether or not the gaming state ends. For example, in a case where a plurality of small roles with different payout numbers can be won in the RB game state (for example, when there are a plurality of small roles with different replays, loses, or payout numbers), the number of payouts in the RB game state is not constant. Therefore, by determining the BB end condition for each game, the execution control of the RB internal winning suggestion effect and the RB2 internal winning confirmation notification can be accurately performed, and the RB internal winning suggestion effect and the RB2 internal winning confirmation notification are performed. More can be done.

  Further, in the present embodiment, after the RB is internally won in the RB1 gaming state and the RB internal winning suggestion effect is executed, in the BB general gaming state, when the BB end condition is satisfied, before the BB end condition is satisfied. The RB internal winning suggestion effect being executed is ended (see time point t3 in FIG. 12), but the timing for ending the RB internal winning suggestion effect is not limited to the winning combination internal lottery, but the third stop operation. Any timing may be used as long as it is performed. For example, it may be before the stop operation of all the stop buttons 137 to 139 becomes effective.

  Note that the slot machine may be a slot machine that only exchanges electronic data without using medals. In this case, the game medium includes computerized data corresponding to medals. The input includes inputting the digitized data from a predetermined external device (electronic storage device), and the payout of the game medium is the conversion of the digitized data to the predetermined external device (electronic storage device). Including output.

<Summary of Embodiment>
As described above, according to the gaming table (for example, the slot machine 100) of the above embodiment, a plurality of reels (for example, the reels 110 to 112) that are provided with a plurality of types of symbols and are driven to rotate, A plurality of stop buttons (for example, stop buttons 137 to 139) provided corresponding to each of the reels for individually stopping the rotation of the reels, and lottery for lottery of internal winning of a plurality of types of roles Corresponding to a stop button for which a stop operation has been performed based on a lottery result of the lottery means after the plurality of reels are driven to rotate after the means (for example, main control unit 300, winning combination internal lottery process S105) Stop control means (for example, main control unit 300, reel stop data selection process S106, reel control process S108) for performing stop control to stop the reel, and the stop control unit A first combination is determined based on whether or not the symbol combination of the plurality of reels stopped by the stop control by the symbol combination is a symbol combination determined corresponding to an internal winning combination by the lottery means. Determination means (for example, main control unit 300, winning determination process S109), and the plurality of types of combinations include a first combination (for example, BB) and a second combination (for example, RB1, RB2). The first role is a role in which a special game (for example, BB gaming state (RT1)) that is more advantageous to the player than the normal game is started by winning the first role, The special game is started by winning a general game (for example, BB general game state) which is an initial state of the special game and winning the second combination in the general game. Special game that starts For example, an RB gaming state), and the special game is a special game that is executed before the first end condition (for example, payout exceeding a specified number) is established. And the special game is either the first end condition or a second end condition (for example, eight winnings or games) different from the first end condition. It ends when either of them is established, and the second combination in the special game is configured so that it can be won internally, and the internal winning of the second combination is carried forward until the second winning combination is won The effect means (for example, the 1st sub control part 400, the 2nd sub control part) which can perform the effect (for example, RB internal winning suggestion effect, RB2 internal winning confirmation effect) related to the internal winning of the second role is possible. 500, first sub-control unit 400 And a device controlled by the second sub-control unit 500, a command input process S304, an effect control process S305, an effect control process S2105, an image control process S2107, and the like, and the effect means is one of the special games In the case where the second combination is won internally and the first end condition is not satisfied in the special game after the first game, the execution of the effect is permitted between the special games (for example, RB internal winning suggestion effect is executed at time points t1 and t2 in FIG. 11), the second combination is won internally in one of the special games, and the special game after the first game is the first game. When one end condition is satisfied, the execution of the effect is not permitted during the special game (for example, the RB internal winning suggestion effect is not executed at time t3 in FIG. 11). And it formed.

  According to this basic configuration, even if the special combination is won internally for the second role, if the special game is ended during the special game, the effect related to the internal winning of the second role is not executed. In the special game, the player is not confused.

  In the above basic configuration, if the second combination is won internally in one of the special games, does the first end condition hold in the special game after the first game? Whether or not in the game in which the second combination is won internally, includes second determination means (for example, main control unit 300, RB internal winning suggestion effect setting processing S1603 to S1606, etc.), If it is determined by the second determination means that the first end condition is not satisfied, execution of the effect is permitted during the special game, and the first determination is performed by the second determination means. When it is determined that the condition is satisfied, it is a preferable example that the execution of the effect is not permitted between the special games.

  In this case, in the game in which the second role is won internally, it can be determined whether or not the special game is ended during the special game. Can be controlled accurately.

  In the above preferred example, when the first determination means determines that a winning combination with a payout has been won, a payout means (for example, the main control unit 300, A medal payout device 180 and a medal payout process S110). The plurality of types of combinations include a first small combination (for example, a small combination with five payouts) and the first small combination. A second small combination (for example, a small combination with three payouts) having a different payout number of game media, and the special game includes the first small combination and the second small combination. Is a game that can be won, and the establishment of the first ending condition is preferably when the total number of payouts of the game medium at the time of the special game exceeds a predetermined number of payouts. .

  In this case, even if the number of payouts during the special game is used as the special game end condition, it is possible to accurately determine whether or not the special game will end during the special game. It is possible to more accurately control whether or not to produce an effect related to.

  In each configuration described above, the second combination includes a third combination (for example, RB1) and a fourth combination (for example, RB2), and the special game includes the general game. A first special game (for example, RB1 gaming state) started by winning the third combination and a first special game started by winning the fourth combination in the general game And a second special game (RB2 game state) that is more advantageous to the player than the first special game, and the directing means is the internal winning of the fourth role in the first special game. If the first end condition is not satisfied in the special game, the execution of the effect is allowed during the first special game, and the fourth role is won internally in the first special game. And the first end condition is satisfied in the first special game. Case, it is preferable not to allow the execution of the effect between the said first special game.

  In this case, in the case of an unfavorable special game, when the fourth role that starts the advantageous special game by winning a prize is won internally, control is performed as to whether or not the effect related to the internal winning of the second role is executed. As a result, the player is not given a sense of regret when an advantageous special game cannot be executed.

  In each configuration described above, it is desirable that the effect includes an effect suggesting an internal winning of the second role (for example, an RB internal winning suggesting effect).

  In this case, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation for the special game and to improve the game motivation.
