(Relationship between winning area, stop button operation sequence, winnings, etc.)
Next, based on FIG. 16, the relationship between the winning area, the operation order of the stop button, and winnings will be described.

  In FIG. 16, the winning area, the contents corresponding to each winning area, the condition device that is activated when each winning area is determined, whether or not to be determined in each gaming state, and the stop operation sequence The relationship with the combination of symbols that can be displayed on the active line is defined.

  RT0 winning area determination table, RT1 winning area determination table, RT2 winning area determination table, RT3 winning area determination table, RT4 winning area determination table, and RT5 winning area determination, which will be described later, stored in the main ROM 302. In the table, winning areas of “00” to “36” are defined, but not all winning areas can be determined in all gaming states.

  For example, in the RT0 gaming state and the RT1 gaming state, the “losing” of the winning area “00” may be determined, while in the RT2 gaming state, the RT3 gaming state, the RT4 gaming state, and the RT5 gaming state, There is no possibility of determining “losing” of “00”. Further, in the RT2 gaming state, there is a possibility of determining the “Bonus rush replay 01” in the winning area “01”, while in the RT0 gaming state, the RT1 gaming state, the RT3 gaming state, the RT4 gaming state, and the RT5 gaming state, There is no possibility of determining “Bonus rush replay 01” in the winning area “01”.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 16, the condition apparatus which will operate | move differs with the determined winning area. For example, when the winning area “12” is determined by an internal lottery process to be described later, a condition device related to “middle replay”, “upper replay”, “lower replay”, “right-up replay”, and “right-down replay” Will be activated. That is, when the winning area “12” is determined, combinations of symbols related to “middle replay”, “upper replay”, “lower replay”, “upward right replay”, and “downward right replay” are on the active line. Can be displayed.

  In this embodiment, even if the stop buttons 11, 12, and 13 are operated at the same symbol position, winning areas having different combinations of symbols arranged on the effective line are provided depending on the stop operation order by the player. Specifically, through the internal lottery process described later, “Bonus rush replay 01-03”, “Blue 7 complete replay”, “RT4 BAR complete replay 01-03”, “Preparation replay 01-04”, “RT3 during Single BAR match replay 01-03, “RT3 double BAR match replay 01-03”, “state transition replay”, “push order bell A1-A4”, “push order bell B1-B4” are determined as winning areas In such a case, the combination of symbols arranged on the active line differs depending on the stop operation order of the stop buttons 11, 12, 13 by the player. For example, when “Bonus rush replay 03” in the winning area “03” is determined by the internal lottery process described later, even if the stop buttons 11, 12, 13 are operated at the same symbol position, 11 and when the middle stop button 12 is first operated, different symbol combinations are displayed on the active line.

  On the other hand, when the stop buttons 11, 12, and 13 are operated at the same symbol position, there is a winning area where the combination of symbols aligned on the active line is different regardless of the stop operation sequence by the player. Is provided. Specifically, through the internal lottery process described later, “Lose”, “Normal Replay”, “Common Bell”, “Weak Watermelon”, “Strong Watermelon”, “Weak Cherry”, “Strong Cherry”, “Weak Chance” ”,“ Medium chance eyes ”, and“ strong chance eyes ”are determined as winning areas, no matter what order the stop buttons 11, 12, 13 are operated by the player, The combinations of symbols that are aligned are the same. However, if the left stop button 11, the middle stop button 12, and the right stop button 13 are not operated at an appropriate timing, the combination of symbols related to winning may not be displayed on the active line.

  Note that the RT0 gaming state may be described as “non-RT gaming state” or “general gaming state”. The RT1 gaming state, the RT2 gaming state, the RT3 gaming state, the RT4 gaming state, and the RT5 gaming state are collectively referred to as “ It may be described as “RT gaming state”.

(Cylinder production table)
Next, based on FIG. 23, the spinning drum production table will be described.

  The rotation effect table is stored in the main ROM 302 and is defined for the winning area and the rotating effect 01 to the rotating effect 04 corresponding to the winning area. Each of the spinning effects of the spinning effect 01 to the rotating effect 04 is defined as to whether or not to execute the spinning effect for each winning area. For example, when the winning area is “07”, “rotation effect 01” can be executed.

  Here, the “rotating effect” means that the left reel 17a, the middle reel 17b, and the right reel 17c are rotated in the reverse direction, the rotational speed is accelerated or decelerated, and a special symbol combination (for example, the display window 21). As an aspect of the combination of symbols displayed on the screen, it means an effect performed by stopping at a combination of symbols in which the symbols related to “BAR2” are displayed in a straight line). Here, in this embodiment, the operation of the start lever 10 for starting the operation of the 1BET button 7, the operation of the MAX-BET button 8, the rotation of the left reel 17a, the middle reel 17b, and the right reel 17c is performed. In addition, a process in which a process based on the operation for a predetermined time (for example, a process of starting rotation of the left reel 17a, the middle reel 17b, and the right reel 17c) is not performed is also included in the spinning effect.

  However, in this case, the 1BET button 7 or the MAX-BET button 8 necessary for the spinning effect is not the operation of the 1BET button 7 or the MAX-BET button 8 for using the medals necessary for the game. The operation of is not invalidated. Further, not the operation of the start lever 10 for rotating the reel 17 at the start of the game, but the operation of the start lever necessary for the spinning effect is not invalidated. For example, when the start switch 10 sw detects the operation of the start lever 10, the reel rotation is reversed, the rotation speed is increased or decreased, and a special symbol combination (for example, displayed on the display window 21). As a combination mode of the symbols to be displayed, it is possible to temporarily stop the symbol according to “BAR2” by a combination of symbols displayed in a straight line).

(Cylinder effect 01)
“Rotation effect 01” is a rotation effect that can be performed when the winning area is “07”. In other words, this is a spinning effect that can be performed when “blue 7 uniform replay” is determined as the winning area. Here, as described above, “blue 7 uniform replay” is a winning area that can be determined only in the RT1 gaming state. Therefore, it can be said that the turning effect 01 is a turning effect that can be executed in the RT1 gaming state.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the winning area “07” is determined in the internal lottery process to be described later, the main CPU 301 determines the “rotation effect 01 based on the rotor effect 01 lottery effect lottery table to be described later. To determine whether or not to execute. Then, when it is decided to execute the “rotation effect 01”, the operation of the 1BET button 7 for using the medals necessary for the game, the operation of the MAX-BET button 8, Even if the start lever 10 is operated to start rotation of the reel 17a, the middle reel 17b, and the right reel 17c, processing based on the operation is not performed.

  In addition, when the winning area “07” is determined, even if weight is given to the privilege to be given to the player depending on whether the “rotation effect 01” is executed or the “rotation effect 01” is not executed. Good. For example, when the “rotor effect 01” is executed by the main CPU 301, the sub CPU 412 gives a greater number of games that can be played on the ART than when the “rotor effect 01” is not executed. , It is possible to shift to a mode in which the number of ART games can be easily added.

  In the present embodiment, the “rotation effect 01” is performed when the start lever 10 is operated, that is, when the start switch 10sw detects the operation of the start lever 10 by the player. It is not limited to. For example, when one of the left stop switch 11sw, middle stop switch 12sw or right stop switch 13sw detects the operation of the stop button 11, 12, 13 by the player, the "rotation effect 01" is performed. Alternatively, after any of the stop switches 11sw, 12sw, and 13sw detects the operation of the stop button 11, 12, 13 by the player, the stop switches 11sw, 12sw, and 13sw are further stopped by the player. , 13 may be performed when the operation is detected, or when all stop switches 11sw, 12sw, 13sw detect the operation of the stop buttons 11, 12, 13 by the player, You may perform "rotation effect 01".

(Cylinder effect 02)
“Rotating stage effect 02” is a winning order “01” or “02” determined in the RT2 gaming state, and the operating order of the stop buttons 11, 12, and 13 is a predetermined order, and the red 7 replay 02, or a spinning effect that is performed after a predetermined number of games have been played based on the combination of symbols related to part of the follow replay being displayed on the active line. The “rotation effect 02” is a rotation effect in which a predetermined lottery is performed when the winning area is “20” to “36”, and the contents of the rotation effect can be rewritten based on the winning of the lottery. It is. That is, while a predetermined number of games are being played, the “push order bell A1”, “push order bell A2”, “push order bell A3”, “push order bell A4”, “push order” "Bell B1", "Push order bell B2", "Push order bell B3", "Push order bell B4", "Technical intervention", "Common bell", "Weak watermelon", "Strong watermelon", "Weak cherry" When “strong cherry”, “weak chance”, “medium chance” or “strong chance” is determined, the contents of the spinning effect can be rewritten.

  Specifically, in the RT2 gaming state, the main CPU 301 determines “01” to “02” as the winning areas, and sets the stop switches 11sw, 12sw, and 13sw to the stop buttons 11, 12, and 13 in a predetermined order. Based on the detection of the operation, a process of setting “48” to the value of the spinning drum effect 02 lottery game number counter provided in the main RAM 303 is performed. Then, the main CPU 301 performs a process of subtracting “1” from the value of the rotation effect 02 lottery game number counter for each “1” game. Then, when the value of the rotation effect 02 lottery game number counter is “1” or more and the winning area is “20” to “36”, based on the rotation effect 02 lottery effect lottery table described later, Based on the fact that the start switch 10 sw detects the operation of the start lever 10 when the lottery effect 02 is performed and the value of the rotation effect 02 lottery game number counter becomes “0”, the reel After swinging 17 in the forward and reverse directions for a certain period of time, a spinning effect such as rotating the reel 17 in the reverse direction is performed.

  Here, in the present embodiment, a plurality of spinning drum effects 02 are provided. Specifically, (a) the reel 17 is swung for a predetermined time, and a wait process for a predetermined time is performed based on the detection of the operation of the start lever 10 by the start switch 10sw or the elapse of the predetermined time. Rotation effect of rotating the reel 17 forward (hereinafter referred to as “rotation effect 02-01”), (b) The reel 17 is swung for a predetermined time, and the start switch 10 sw detects the operation of the start lever 10. Or, based on the elapse of a predetermined time, and then rotating the reel 17 in reverse (hereinafter referred to as “rotating effect 02-02”), and (c) swinging the reel 17 for a predetermined time to start Based on the detection of the operation of the start lever 10 by the switch 10sw or the elapse of a predetermined time, the weight processing for a predetermined time is performed, and then the reset is performed. The reel-effect rotated reversely Le 17 (hereinafter, referred to as "reel-effect 02-03") are provided.

(C) The control which invalidates the operation of the settlement button, etc. is performed.

  In the present embodiment, the “rotation effect 02” is performed when the start switch 10sw detects an operation of the start lever 10 by the player, but is not limited thereto. For example, the “rotation effect 02” may be performed when other switches such as the 1BET switch 7sw, the MAX-BET switch 8sw, the stop switches 11sw, 12sw, 13sw, and the settlement switch 9sw detect an operation by the player.

(Cylinder effect 03)
“Rotating effect 03” is a rotating effect that can be performed when the winning area is “04” to “06”. In other words, this is a spinning effect that can be performed when “the BAR matching replay 01 during RT4”, “the BAR matching replay 02 during RT4” or “the BAR matching replay 03 during RT4” is determined as the winning area.

  Specifically, the main CPU 301 determines, in the internal lottery process described later, that “RT4 BAR-matched replay 01”, “RT4 BAR-matched replay 02” or “RT4 BAR-matched replay 03” is determined as the winning area. In addition, a lottery is performed based on a reeling effect lottery table for the rotating effect 03 described later. Then, the main CPU 301 wins the lottery, and when the symbol related to “BAR2” is aligned with the middle line and the right-up line, or the symbol related to “BAR2” is aligned with the middle-line and the right-down line. On the basis of the above, when the start switch 10sw detects the operation of the start lever 10 in the next game, the control for executing the “rotation effect 03” is performed.

  Here, “RT4 BAR uniform replay 01”, “RT4 BAR uniform replay 02” and “RT4 BAR uniform replay 03” are winning areas that can be determined in the RT4 gaming state. Therefore, the “rotation effect 03” is a rotation effect that can be executed when the gaming state is the RT4 gaming state.

  Further, when executing the “rotation effect 03”, the main CPU 301 operates the 1 BET button 7 and the MAX-BET button 8 to use medals necessary for the game for “about 29600 ms”. Even if the start lever 10 is operated to start rotation of the left reel 17a, the middle reel 17b, and the right reel 17c, processing based on the operations is not performed.

  In the present embodiment, the “rotation effect 03” is performed when the start switch 10sw detects an operation of the start lever 10 by the player, but is not limited thereto. For example, the “rotation effect 03” may be performed when other switches such as the 1BET switch 7sw, the MAX-BET switch 8sw, the stop switches 11sw, 12sw, 13sw, and the settlement switch 9sw detect an operation by the player.

(Cylinder effect 04)

In other words, “common bell”, “weak watermelon”, “strong watermelon”, “weak cherry”, “strong cherry”, “weak chance”, “medium chance” or “strong chance” are determined as the winning areas. This is a revolving effect that can be performed.

  Specifically, in the internal lottery process described later in the RT5 gaming state, the main CPU 301 selects “common bell”, “weak watermelon”, “strong watermelon”, “weak cherry”, “strong cherry”, “weak” as winning areas. When “chance eyes”, “medium chance eyes”, or “strong chance eyes” are determined, a lottery is performed based on a spinning effect lottery table for the rotating effect 04 described later. And main CPU301 performs control which performs "rotation effect 04" based on having won the said lottery.

  In addition, the “rotation effect 04” is provided with effect times S1 to S4 for performing the rotation effect 04. When the production time S1 is determined, during the “about 2384 ms”, the operation of the 1BET button 7 and the operation of the MAX-BET button 8 for using the medals necessary for the game, the left reel 17a, the middle reel 17b, Even if the start lever 10 is operated to start the rotation of the right reel 17c, the processing based on the operation is not performed.

  Similarly, when the production time S2 is determined, the production time S3 is determined to be “about 4768 ms”. When the production time S3 is determined, the production time S4 is determined to be “about 9499 ms”. After performing the operation, the operation of the 1BET button 7 and the operation of the MAX-BET button 8 to use the medals necessary for the game, and the rotation of the left reel 17a, the middle reel 17b, and the right reel 17c for “about 4381 ms”. Even if the start lever 10 is operated to start the operation, processing based on the operation is not performed.

  In the present embodiment, the “rotation effect 04” is performed when all the stop switches 11sw, 12sw, and 13sw detect the operation of the stop buttons 11, 12, and 13, but the present invention is not limited to this. Never happen. For example, when the start switch 10sw detects an operation by the player, the “rotation effect 04” may be performed, and any one of the stop switches 11sw, 12sw, 13sw is a game among the stop switches 11sw, 12sw, 13sw. When the operation of the stop button 11, 12, 13 by the player is detected, the “rotation effect 04” may be performed, or any one of the stop switches 11sw, 12sw, 13sw is stopped by the player. After detecting the above operation, the “rotation effect 04” may be performed when the stop switches 11sw, 12sw, and 13sw detect the operation of the stop buttons 11, 12, and 13 by the player.

  It should be noted that in the “rotation effect 01” to “rotation effect 04”, the operation of the 1BET button 7 or the MAX-BET button 8 for using a medal and the operation of the start lever 10 for starting the rotation of the reel 17 Even when the operation of the stop buttons 11, 12, 13 is detected, the time during which processing based on the operation is not performed can be set as appropriate.

(Direction block table)
Next, the effect block table will be described with reference to FIGS.

  In addition, FIG. 25 is a figure which shows the effect block tables 1-3, and FIG. 26 is a figure which shows the effect block tables 4-9.

  The effect block tables 1 to 9 are stored in the main ROM 302 and are used when executing the spinning effect, and effect block data is defined. The effect block data defines a correction target reel, a movable reel, a correction flag, an offset value of an effect phase table (to be described later) used when executing the spinning effect, and an effect block end flag. .

(Correction reel)
The data corresponding to the correction target reel defined in the effect block data is composed of “3” bit data. When the bit “0” is ON, the right reel 17c is the correction target reel. When the bit “1” is ON, it indicates that the middle reel 17b is a correction target reel, and when the bit “2” is ON, it indicates that the left reel 17a is a correction target reel. Further, the main CPU 301 performs control for correcting the rotation direction of the reel based on the correction flag and the data corresponding to the correction target reel during the spinning effect.

(Movable reel)
The data corresponding to the movable reel specified in the production block data is composed of “3” bit data, and when the bit “0” is ON, it indicates that the right reel 17c is a movable reel. When the bit “1” is ON, it indicates that the middle reel 17b is a movable reel, and when the bit “2” is ON, it indicates that the left reel 17a is a movable reel. Therefore, the main CPU 301 performs control to rotate the reel 17 based on data corresponding to the movable reel during the spinning effect.

(Correction flag)
The data corresponding to the correction flag defined in the effect block data is composed of “1” bit data. When the bit corresponding to the correction flag is ON, the main CPU 301 performs control to correct the rotation direction of the reel during the spinning effect based on the data corresponding to the correction target reel.

(Direction block end flag)
Data corresponding to the effect block end flag defined in the effect block data is a flag for ending execution of the effect block table. For example, when the production block table 1 is executed, No. Since the production block end flag is defined in the column 2, no. After the process related to the effect block data in the column 1 is completed, the process based on the effect block table 1 is ended.

(Direction phase table)
Next, the effect phase table will be described with reference to FIGS.

  27 is a diagram showing the effect phase tables 1 to 10, FIG. 28 is a diagram showing the effect phase tables 11 to 20, and FIG. 29 is a diagram showing the effect phase tables 21 to 31.

  The effect phase tables 1 to 31 are stored in the main ROM 302 and are used when executing the spinning effect, and store effect phase data. Here, the effect phase data includes (a) the number of executions, (b) a correction flag, (c) a type of a rotation effect execution table (described later) used when executing the rotation effect, and (d) The phase end flag is specified.

(Number of executions)
The data corresponding to the number of executions defined in the effect phase data is the number of times the stepping motors 101, 102, and 103 are controlled based on a rotation effect execution table to be described later when the rotation effect is executed. is there. For example, when the effect phase table 1 is used, the spinning effect execution data of the rotating effect execution table 18 is executed “1119” times.

(Correction flag)
The data corresponding to the correction flag defined in the effect phase data is composed of “1” bit data. When the bit corresponding to the correction flag is ON, correction is performed. Specifically, when the correction flag defined in the effect phase tables 1 to 31 is ON, the main CPU 301 changes the rotation direction of the reel according to the stop position of the reel 17 when performing the spinning effect. Control to correct.

(Phase end flag)
Data corresponding to the phase end flag defined in the effect phase data is a flag for ending execution of the effect phase table. For example, when the production phase table 1 is executed, no. Since the phase end flag is defined in the column 2, no. After the process related to the effect phase data in the column 1 is completed, the process based on the effect phase table 1 is ended.

(Cylinder production execution table)
Next, based on FIG. 30 to FIG. 31, the spinning effect execution table will be described.

  FIG. 30 is a diagram showing the spinning effect execution tables 1 to 9, and FIG. 31 is a diagram showing the spinning effect execution tables 10 to 19.

  The rotation effect execution tables 1 to 19 are stored in the main ROM 302 and are used when executing the rotation effect, and store the rotation effect execution data. Here, the rotation effect, the four-phase OFF flag, the excitation holding count, and the rotation effect execution table end flag are defined in the rotation effect execution data.

(Direction of rotation)
The data corresponding to the rotation direction defined in the rotation effect execution data is data relating to the rotation direction of the reel 17 when executing the rotation effect. Specifically, the rotation direction of the reel is corrected by adding data corresponding to the rotation direction to the data of the current excitation pattern.

(4-phase OFF flag)
Data corresponding to the four-phase OFF flag defined in the spinning effect execution data is a flag for turning off all the excitation phases A to D of the stepping motors 101, 102, and 103. Specifically, when the value of the four-phase OFF flag is “1”, the main CPU 301 performs control to turn off all the excitation phases A to D of the stepping motors 101, 102, and 103. .

(Excitation holding frequency)
Data corresponding to the number of times of excitation holding defined in the spinning effect execution data is a value used to move the stepping motors 101, 102, 103, and holds each excitation phase of A phase to D phase. It is a value indicating time. For this reason, the larger the value of the number of times of excitation holding defined in the spinning drum performance execution tables 1 to 19 is, the longer the main CPU 301 performs control to rotate the reel 17 in the above-mentioned rotation direction for a longer time.

(Cylinder effect execution table end flag)
The rotation effect execution table end flag defined in the rotation effect execution table 1 to 31 is a flag for ending the execution of the rotation effect execution table. For example, when executing the rotation effect execution execution table 1, no. No. 2 has a rotation effect execution table end flag defined therein. After the processing related to the spinning effect execution data in the column 1 is completed, the processing based on the spinning effect execution table 1 is ended.

(Pulse data table)
Next, the pulse data table will be described with reference to FIG.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the reel control board 100 controls the driving of the reel 17 by 1-2 phase excitation with respect to the stepping motors 101, 102, and 103. The main ROM 302 stores a pulse data table (see FIG. 32A) in the case of 1-2 phase excitation.

  Specifically, the pulse data table stores eight pieces of pulse data from (a) position to (h) position, and these pulse data are AB phase, B phase, BC phase, C phase, respectively. This is data for requesting excitation for the phase, CD phase, C phase, AD phase, and A phase. The main control board 300 sequentially reads eight pulse data from the (a) position to the (h) position specified in the pulse data table, and outputs a pulse signal to each phase required by the pulse data. When the output of the pulse signal based on the (h) position is completed, the reel returns to the (a) position, and the reel rotates forward by outputting the pulse signal based on the (a) position.

  Here, pulse signals are output in the order of (a) position, (b) position, (c) position, (d) position, (e) position, (f) position, (g) position, and (h) position. As a result, the reel 17 rotates in the forward direction, but the (h) position, (g) position, (f) position, (e) position, (d) position, (c) position, (b) position, (a ) By outputting pulse signals in the order of positions, the reel 17 rotates in the reverse direction. Here, the “forward direction” refers to the fact that the gaming machine 1 is viewed from the front and the symbols visible through the display window 21 rotate from the upper direction to the lower direction, and the “reverse direction” refers to the gaming machine 1. The symbol that is visible from the front and visible by the display window 21 rotates from the lower direction to the upper direction.

  In the present embodiment, the reel control board 100 controls the driving of the reel 17 by 1-2 phase excitation with respect to the stepping motors 101, 102, and 103. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Alternatively, drive control of the reel 17 may be performed by two-phase excitation. In this case, the main ROM 302 stores a pulse data table (see FIG. 32B) in the case of two-phase excitation.

Next, the push order notification effect determination table will be described with reference to FIG.

  The push order notification effect determination table is provided in the sub-ROM 404, and defines which push order is notified when the sub CPU 402 notifies the push order. Specifically, the push order notification effect determination table is defined with respect to contents for notifying the stop operation order of the stop buttons 11, 12, and 13 based on the state name and the gaming state.

  For example, in the withdrawal state A, when the current gaming state is the RT3 gaming state, “RT3 replay navigation” or “RT4 transition replay removal navigation” is executed. Specifically, in the withdrawal state A, when the winning areas “13” to “19” are determined by the internal lottery process described later, the sub CPU 412 determines that the symbol combination related to “normal replay” is on the effective line. Control for informing the stop operation order displayed on the screen is performed.

  In particular, the sub CPU 402 relates to a part of “red 7 replay 02” or “follow replay” when the state managed by the sub control board 400 is the Bonus ready state B or the ART-in-Busn ready state B. When the combination of symbols is displayed on the active line and the state managed by the main control board 300 is shifted to the RT3 gaming state, and “20” to “27” are determined by the internal lottery process described later, The sub CPU 402 performs control to display on the liquid crystal display device 46 a stop operation sequence for displaying the symbol combination related to “bell” on the effective line.

  When the player does not follow the stop operation sequence displayed on the liquid crystal display device 46 by the sub CPU 402 and the combination of symbols related to “blank” is displayed on the active line, the player is managed by the main control board 300. The state is shifted from the RT3 gaming state to the RT1 gaming state. Thereafter, when the winning areas “08” to “11” are determined by an internal lottery process to be described later, the sub CPU 402 performs a stop operation sequence for displaying the combination of symbols related to “preparation replay” on the active line. The control which alert | reports is performed. As a result, the state managed by the main control board 300 is shifted from the RT1 gaming state to the RT2 gaming state.

  Thereafter, in the internal lottery process described later, winning areas “01” to “02” are determined, and “48” from when the combination of symbols related to “Red 7 Replay” or “Follow Replay” is displayed on the active line. When the game is played, the revolving effect 02 is to be executed. However, after transitioning to the Bonus state B or the Bonus state B during ART, the combination of symbols related to “blank” When “48” game is played after the combination of symbols related to “Red 7 Replay 02” or “Follow Replay” is displayed on the active line again, The production 02 is executed. Then, there arises a problem that consistency between the spinning effect 02 performed at the end of the Bonus state B or the Bonus state B during ART and the effect performed by the liquid crystal display device 46 cannot be achieved.

  On the other hand, in this embodiment, when the gaming state managed by the main control board 300 is the RT2 gaming state, the winning areas “01” to “02” are determined by the internal lottery process described later. In addition, the sub CPU 402 performs a control to display the stop operation order of the stop buttons 11, 12, and 13 that shift to the RT3 gaming state but the spinning effect 02 is not performed as the stop operation order displayed on the liquid crystal display device 46. Do. Specifically, when the winning area “01” is determined by an internal lottery process to be described later, the sub CPU 402 performs control to display an image prompting the user to operate from the right stop button 13 on the liquid crystal display device 46. Do. On the other hand, when the winning area “02” is determined by an internal lottery process to be described later, the sub CPU 402 performs control to display an image prompting the user to operate from the left stop button 11 on the liquid crystal display device 46. As a result, the player operates the stop buttons 11, 12, and 13 based on the image displayed on the liquid crystal display device 46, so that a part of “Red 7 Replay 02” or “Follow Replay” is first displayed. When the “48” game is played after the combination of symbols related to is displayed on the activated line, the spinning effect 02 is executed. As a result, the problem that the consistency between the spinning effect 02 performed at the end of the Bonus state B or the Bonus state B during the ART and the effect performed by the liquid crystal display device 46 does not occur. In addition, the main CPU 301 does not need to provide a process for returning to the RT3 gaming state even when the combination of symbols related to “blank” is displayed in the RT3 gaming state and the state is shifted to the RT1 gaming state. Therefore, the processing burden on the main control board 300 is not increased.

Specifically, the Bonus ready state transition game number determination table defines the range of the number of games until the transition to the Bonus ready state and the lottery value.

  Here, the lottery value of the Bonus ready state transition game number determination table is provided for each set value, and the lottery value defined for each range of the number of games differs for each set value. In particular, in the present embodiment, the lottery value in the Bonus ready state transition game number determination table is defined such that the higher the set value, the higher the probability that the sub CPU 402 determines the range of the faster game number. Thereby, the higher the set value is, the higher the ratio of the sub CPU 402 that determines the short game number as the number of games for shifting to the Bonus preparation state after the withdrawal state A or the withdrawal state B ends. .

  In the present embodiment, when the set value is “1”, the probability that the “129” game to the “133” game is determined as the number of games until the transition to the Bonus preparation state is “0”. On the other hand, when the set value is “6”, the probability that “129” game to “133” game is determined as the number of games until the transition to the Bonus ready state is “2753/65536”. . Therefore, when the set value is “1”, since “129” to “133” games are not determined as the number of games until the transition to the Bonus preparation state, the process until the transition to the Bonus preparation state is performed. When “129” game to “133” game are determined as the number of games, the player can recognize that the setting value of the gaming machine 1 is not “1”.

  In the present embodiment, in the Bonus preparation state transition game number determination table, the higher the set value, the “129” games to “133” games are determined as the number of games until the transition to the Bonus preparation state. The lottery value is defined so that the probability is high. For this reason, the player can estimate the set value by overlapping the number of times that the number of games until the transition to the Bonus ready state is determined by playing the game for a long time.

  It should be noted that the lottery value for determining the “129” game to the “133” game is defined as the number of games until the transition to the bonus preparation state only when a specific setting value (for example, the setting value is “6”), For other setting values (for example, the setting values are “1” to “5”), the lottery value for determining the “129” game to the “133” game is defined as the number of games until the transition to the Bonus preparation state. You may make it not. Thereby, when “129” game to “133” game is determined as the number of games until the transition to the Bonus preparation state, the player can recognize that it is a specific set value.

  Also, a lottery value for determining “129” game to “133” game is defined as the number of games until the transition to the bonus preparation state only when a specific setting value (for example, the setting value is “4”) or more. In the case of other setting values (for example, the setting values are “1” to “3”), the lottery values for determining “129” games to “133” games as the number of games until the transition to the Bonus preparation state is made. It may not be specified. Thereby, when the “129” game to the “133” game are determined as the number of games until the transition to the Bonus preparation state, the player can recognize that the game is more than a specific set value.

(Bonus preparation state transition game number determination table for reset)
Next, the reset bonus preparation state transition game number determination table will be described with reference to FIG.

  The reset-time bonus preparation state transition game number determination table is provided in the sub ROM 404. The reset bonus preparation state transition game number determination table is used when redetermining the number of games to be transferred to the bonus preparation state in the bonus preparation state transition game number reset process described later (see FIG. 83). In the reset-time Bonus preparation state transition game number determination table, the range of the number of games for shifting to the Bonus preparation state and the lottery value are defined.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the Bonus ready state transition game number determination table (see FIG. 39) is defined with a high probability of shifting to the Bonus ready state within the first number of games (for example, “128” game). Yes. For this reason, the player who knows that the probability of shifting to the Bonus ready state by the first number of games is defined to be high is shifted to the Bonus ready state based on the Bonus ready state shift game number determination table. After the number of games is determined, it is assumed that the first game number game is performed and the game is ended. Then, the other player who knows that the probability of shifting to the Bonus ready state by the first number of games is defined to be high is the gaming machine 1 that has finished the game after playing the first number of games. Since the game is not going to be played, the operation of the gaming machine falls.

  On the other hand, the Bonus ready state transition game number determination table for reset is defined with a high probability of transitioning to the Bonus ready state by the first game number (for example, “128” game). For this reason, in the gaming machine 1 in which the game of the first number of games has been performed, the probability of selecting the reset of the number of bonus preparation state transition games described later and shifting to the bonus preparation state by the first number of games is In the gaming machine 1 in which the game of the first number of games has been performed, compared with the probability of shifting to the Bonus ready state by the first game number without selecting the reset of the Bonus ready state transition game number described later. Highly regulated.

  Accordingly, in the gaming machine 1 in which the first game number of games has been performed, a player who plays only a short number of games (for example, “128” game) has selected to reset the Bonus ready state transition game number described later. However, it can be said that it is advantageous compared to the case where the resetting of the number of Bonus preparation state transition games described later is not selected.

  In addition, in the gaming machine 1 in which the game of the first number of games has been performed, if the reset of the number of Bonus ready state transition games described later is not selected, after the game of the first number of games is performed, Within the “649” game (“777” game- “128” game), the player always shifts to the Bonus ready state. On the other hand, when the number of Bonus preparation state transition games is reset, there is a possibility that the transition to the Bonus preparation state is not made within the “649” game (“777” game- “128” game).

  For example, after the “300” game is determined as the number of games until the transition to the Bonus ready state based on the Bonus ready state transition game number determination table of FIG. 39, and the first game number of games is performed, Assume that “700” game has been determined as the number of games until the transition to the Bonus preparation state is selected based on the reset Bonus preparation state transfer game number determination table. The number of games required for the transition to the Bonus ready state is “700” after selecting the reset of the number of Bonus ready state transition games to be described later.

  Therefore, in the gaming machine 1 in which the game of the first number of games has been performed, when the number of bonus preparation state transition games is reset, the bonus preparation state is reached by the second game number (for example, “649” game). The probability of transitioning to the bonus preparation state transition game number is not reset, and is lower than the probability of transitioning to the bonus preparation state by the second number of games.

  Accordingly, in the gaming machine 1 in which the first game number of games has been performed, a player who plays only a short number of games (for example, “128” game) is more likely to reset the Bonus preparation state transition game number. It can be said that it is advantageous compared with the case where the number of state transition games is not reset.

  On the other hand, in the gaming machine 1 in which the first game number of games has been performed, a player who plays a long game number (for example, “649” game) should not reset the Bonus preparation state transition game number. It can be said that it is advantageous compared with the case where the number of state transition games is reset.

  In this embodiment, the Bonus preparation state transition game number determination table for reset is defined such that the lottery value differs for each set value. The higher the set value, the shorter the range of the number of games is determined. It is easy to be done. In addition, when the number of games for transition to the Bonus preparation state is reset, the number of games until the transition to the Bonus preparation state is defined such that “129” to “133” games are not determined.

  Therefore, when the number of games for shifting to the Bonus preparation state is determined based on the reset-time Bonus preparation state transition game number determination table, the number of games until the transition to the Bonus preparation state is “129” games to Since the “133” game is not determined, the player cannot guess the set value.

  This is because, when a player plays a long game and plays a long game number (for example, “649” game), when the Bonus ready state transition game number is selected, the Bonus ready state transition game is selected. This is an example that is disadvantageous compared to the case where the number reset is not selected.

(Bonus preparation state distribution table)
Next, the Bonus preparation state distribution table will be described with reference to FIG.

  The Bonus preparation state distribution table is provided in the sub ROM 404, and is used to notify the stop operation order of the stop buttons 11, 12, and 13 to be notified when the winning areas “01” to “03” are determined. Is provided. In addition, the Bonus preparation state distribution table is defined for any of the Bonus preparation states A to Bonus preparation state C and the lottery values corresponding to these. Here, in the present embodiment, the lottery value is provided for each set value, and the higher the set value, the higher the probability of shifting to the Bonus preparation state C.

  For example, when the Bonus preparation state A is determined as a result of the lottery using the Bonus preparation state distribution table, the symbol combination related to “Red 7 Replay 01” or “Red 7 Replay 03” may be stopped. Control for notifying the operation order of the stop buttons 11, 12, 13 is performed. Specifically, the sub CPU 402 notifies that the right stop button 13 is first stopped when the winning area “01” is determined in the internal lottery process described later. Further, in a later-described internal lottery process, when the winning area “02” is determined, a notification that the left stop button 11 is first stopped is given. On the other hand, in the internal lottery process described later, when the winning area “03” is determined, the combination of symbols related to “Blue 7 Replay” is obtained by informing that the middle stop button 12 is first stopped. It is not displayed on the active line.

  When the Bonus preparation state B is determined as a result of the lottery using the Bonus preparation state distribution table, the combination of symbols related to “Red 7 Replay 02” can be stopped. Control to notify the operation order is performed. Specifically, the sub CPU 402 notifies that the left stop button 11 is first stopped when the winning area “01” is determined in the internal lottery process described later. Further, in a later-described internal lottery process, when the winning area “02” is determined, a notification that the right stop button 13 is first stopped is given. On the other hand, in the internal lottery process described later, when the winning area “03” is determined, the combination of symbols related to “Blue 7 Replay” is obtained by informing that the middle stop button 12 is first stopped. It is not displayed on the active line.

  In addition, as a result of the lottery using the Bonus preparation state distribution table, when it is determined to shift to the Bonus state C, the stop button 11, 12, which can stop the combination of symbols related to “Blue 7 Replay”. Control which notifies 13 operation orders is performed. Specifically, when the winning area “03” is determined in the internal lottery process described later, the sub CPU 402 notifies that the left stop button 11 is first stopped. On the other hand, when the winning area “01” or “02” is determined in the internal lottery process to be described later, it is related to “Red 7 Replay” by informing that the middle stop button 12 is first stopped. The combination of symbols is not displayed on the active line.

(Promotional lottery table)
Next, the promotion lottery table will be described with reference to FIG.

  The promotion lottery table is provided in the sub ROM 404, and after the Bonus preparation state A or the Bonus preparation state B is determined as a result of the lottery based on the Bonus preparation state distribution table (see FIG. 30), the Bonus state A or Before the transition to the Bonus state B, it is provided for performing a lottery so that the transition is made to the Bonus preparation state B or the Bonus preparation state C.

  Specifically, the promotion lottery table includes (a) a promotion lottery table for the Bonus preparation state A and (b) an promotion lottery table for the Bonus preparation state B.

(Promotion lottery table for Bonus preparation state A)
In the promotion lottery table for the Bonus preparation state A, as shown in FIG. 42A, the lottery value for each winning area and the Bonus preparation state of the transfer destination are defined. For example, when the winning area “32” is determined in the Bonus preparation state A, the sub CPU 402 performs a lottery to shift to the Bonus preparation state B at “32768/65536”.

(Promotional lottery table for Bonus ready state B)
In the promotion lottery table for the Bonus preparation state B, as shown in FIG. 42 (b), the lottery value for each winning area and the Bonus preparation state of the transfer destination are defined. For example, when the winning area “32” is determined in the Bonus preparation state B, the sub CPU 402 performs a lottery to move to the Bonus preparation state C at “4128/65536”.

(Restoration lottery table)
Next, the resurrection lottery table will be described with reference to FIG.

  The resurrection lottery table is provided in the sub-ROM 404, and the spinning effect performed by the main control board 300 at the end of the Bonus state B or the Bonus state B during ART is “Rotating effect 02-01”. It is provided to draw a lottery whether to shift to the ART game number determination state or the ART game number addition state. Specifically, lottery values corresponding to (a) winning A, (b) winning B, and (c) non-winning are defined in the resurrection lottery table.

  In addition, when the spinning effect performed by the main control board 300 is “rotating effect 02-01”, the sub CPU 402 enters the ART game number determination state or the ART game number addition state based on the revival lottery table. If winning A is determined as a result of lottery of whether or not to move, the ART game is performed at the timing when all the stop buttons 11, 12, and 13 are operated after the "rotation effect 02-01" is performed. Control is performed to notify the liquid crystal display device 46 or the like of the transition to the number determination state or the ART game number addition state.

  On the other hand, when the spinning effect performed by the main control board 300 is “rotational effect 02-01”, the sub CPU 402 enters the ART game number determination state or the ART game number addition state based on the resurrection lottery table. If winning B is determined as a result of lottery as to whether or not to move, after the “rotation effect 02-01” is performed, in the next game in which all the stop buttons 11, 12, and 13 are operated Then, at the timing when the start switch 10sw detects the operation of the start lever 10, control is performed to notify the liquid crystal display device 46 or the like that the state shifts to the ART game number determination state or the ART game number addition state.

  Here, when the spinning effect performed by the main control board 300 is “rotational effect 02-01”, the sub CPU 402 determines the ART game number determination state or the ART game number addition state based on the resurrection lottery table. If winning A or winning B is determined as a result of drawing whether or not to shift to “3”, control is performed to store “3” in the navigation stock storage area provided in the sub RAM 405. Therefore, the resurrection lottery table is used for the lottery performed when the spinning effect 02-01 is executed in the Bonus state B and the Bonus state B during ART.

  In the present embodiment, the resurrection lottery table is used for all setting values when the setting values are “1” to “6”, but is not limited thereto. For example, the sub ROM 404 may store a resurrection lottery table with different lottery values for each set value. In this case, in the revival lottery table in which the lottery value differs for each set value, (a) the higher the set value, the higher the lottery value for winning A and the lottery value for winning B may be defined higher. b) When the set value is an odd number, the lottery value for winning A and the lottery value for winning B may be defined higher than when the set value is an even number, and (c) if the set value is high The higher the value, the higher either the winning value of winning A or the winning value of winning B may be specified. (D) When the set value is an odd number, the set value is an even number. The lottery value for winning A or the lottery value for winning B may be set high.

  In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 402 draws whether or not to shift to the ART game number determination state or the ART game number addition state based on the resurrection lottery table, so that the winning A or the winning B is determined. In this case, control is performed to store “3” in the navigation stock storage area provided in the sub-RAM 405, but this is not limitative, and the navigation stock storage provided in the sub-RAM 405 is not limited. The value stored in the area can be set as appropriate. In this case, (a) the value stored in the navigation stock storage area provided in the sub RAM 405 may be a value other than “3”, or (b) the navigation stock provided in the sub RAM 405. The value stored in the storage area may be determined by lottery.

  In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 402 performs lottery using the same resurrection lottery table in the Bonus state B and the Bonus state B during ART. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the Bonus state B, when the spinning effect 02-01 is executed in the Bonus state B resurrection lottery table used when the rotating effect 02-01 is executed and in the Bonus state B during ART. The resurrection lottery table for the Bonus state B used during ART may be stored in the sub ROM 404. In this case, (a) the lottery value of the winning A defined in the Bonus state B revival lottery table and the lottery value of the winning A stipulated in the revival lottery table for the Bonus state B during ART are different. (B) The winning B lottery value defined in the Bonus state B resurrection lottery table is different from the winning B lottery value defined in the ART Bonus state B resurrection lottery table. (C) The winning A lottery value specified in the Bonus state B resurrection lottery table and the winning A lottery value specified in the ART Bonus state B resurrection lottery table It may be different according to the set value, or (d) the winning B lottery value defined in the Bonus state B revival lottery table and the ART Bonus state B Lottery value of winning B as defined in revival drawing table may vary according to the set value.

  Whether the transition to the ART game number determination state or the ART game number addition state is made based on the resurrection lottery table when the rotation effect performed by the main control board 300 is “rotation effect 02-01”. As a result of the lottery, if the non-winning is determined, control to store “3” in the navigation stock storage area provided in the sub RAM 405 is not performed, so the state shifts to the ART game number transition state. There is no.

(ART game number lottery table)
Next, the ART game number addition lottery table will be described with reference to FIG.

  The lottery table for adding the number of ART games is provided in the sub ROM 404. In addition, the ART game number addition lottery table indicates that the number of games that the sub-control board 400 can play in the ART state based on information related to a winning area included in a reel rotation start acceptance command described later received from the main control board 300. It is provided to determine the number of games to be added to.

  For example, when the information related to the winning area included in the reel rotation start acceptance command described later received from the main control board 300 is information related to “common bell”, the sub CPU 402 has a probability of “4587/65536”. , “10” game is determined as the number of additional games, “20” game is determined as the number of additional games with the probability of “2244/65536”, and “30” is determined as the number of additional games with the probability of “678/65536”. A game is determined, “50” games are determined as the number of additional games with a probability of “154/65536”, and “100” games are determined as the number of additional games with a probability of “9/65536”. On the other hand, if the information related to the winning area included in the reel rotation start acceptance command (described later) received from the main control board 300 is information related to the “common bell”, the number of added games with the probability of “57864/65536” As a result, the “0” game is determined. In this case, the number of games that can be played in the ART state is not added.

(Program start processing by the main control board 300)
Next, a program start process performed by the main control board 300 will be described with reference to FIG. Note that the program start process is a process performed based on the power switch 511sw being turned on.

(Step S1)
In step S1, the main CPU 301 performs an initial setting process. Specifically, the main CPU 301 sets a table address for setting the internal register of the gaming machine 1, and performs a process of setting the register address based on the table. Then, when the process of step S1 ends, the process proceeds to step S2.

(Step S2)
In step S2, the main CPU 301 performs a RAM checksum calculation process. Specifically, the main CPU 301 calculates the checksum of the main RAM 303, and when the calculation is completed, performs processing for setting the checksum of the main RAM 303. Here, the “checksum” is a kind of code for detecting an error. Then, when the process of step S2 ends, the process proceeds to step S3.

(Step S3)
In step S3, the main CPU 301 performs a process of determining whether or not the setting change key switch is ON. In the present embodiment, the setting change key switch is turned on by turning a predetermined angle while a setting changing key (not shown) is inserted into the keyhole. Therefore, in step S3, the main CPU 301 performs a process of determining whether or not the setting change key (not shown) is rotated by a predetermined angle in a state where the key is inserted into the keyhole. When it is determined that the setting change key switch is ON (step S3 = Yes), the process proceeds to step S4, and when it is determined that the setting change key switch is OFF (step S3). = No), the process proceeds to step S6.

(Step S4)
In step S4, the main CPU 301 determines whether or not the door opening sensor is ON. In the present embodiment, when a dedicated key is inserted into the keyhole 4 and rotated clockwise by a predetermined angle, and the front door 3 is opened by a predetermined angle or more, the door opening sensor 41s is turned on. Therefore, in step S4, the main CPU 301 determines whether or not the dedicated key is inserted into the keyhole 4 and rotated clockwise by a predetermined angle, and the front door 3 is opened at a predetermined angle or more. I do. If it is determined that the door opening sensor is ON (step S4 = Yes), the process proceeds to step S8, and if it is determined that the door opening sensor is OFF (step S4 = No). ), The process proceeds to step S5.

(Step S5)
In step S5, the main CPU 301 sets a setting change device operation abnormality flag.
