  FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the slot machine 1 of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an arrangement of rotating reels of the slot machine 1 of FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing an effective line of the slot machine 1 of FIG. 1, and FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining RT transition of the slot machine 1 of FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the slot machine 1 includes a control device 100 for controlling the entire slot machine 1, a rotary reel unit 40, a rotary reel position detection sensor 44, and a hopper unit 50 for paying out medals. The control device 100, the rotary reel unit 40, the rotary reel position detection sensor 44, and the hopper unit 50 are arranged inside the housing 10 together with a power supply device (not shown) for turning on / off the main power supply of the slot machine 1. Yes.

  The rotary reel unit 40 includes three rotary reels 41, 42, and 43 and stepping motors 61, 62, and 63 that drive the rotary reels 41, 42, and 43. The rotary reel unit 40 is disposed at the approximate center inside the housing 10. On the surfaces of the rotary reels 41, 42, and 43, symbols arranged as shown in FIG. 3 are displayed and reference points (shown in FIG. 8) are provided. This reference point is arranged at the center of the symbol A (bell A) of the rotary reels 41, 42, 43. The rotary reel unit 40 uses a stepping motor that rotates once in 504 steps.

  The rotation reel position detection sensor 44 detects the passage of the reference points of the rotation reels 41, 42, and 43 after the rotation of the rotation reels 41, 42, and 43 is started. When the passage of the reference point of each rotary reel 41, 42, 43 is detected, the rotary reel position detection sensor 44 outputs a detection signal indicating that the reference point of each rotary reel 41, 42, 43 has passed. The output detection signal is transmitted from the rotary reel position detection sensor 44 to the control device 100. In this slot machine 1, the middle stage effective line (the middle stage line 72 shown in FIG. 4) is set as a detection position which is an absolute position of the slot machine 1, and the rotary reels 41, 42, 43 passing through this detection position are set. A reference point is detected. The rotary reel position detection sensor 44 can be arbitrarily arranged according to the design of the slot machine 1 or the like as long as the reference point of the rotary reels 41, 42, and 43 that passes through the detection position can be detected.

  Here, an outline of the game performed in the slot machine 1 will be described. When a game is played in the slot machine 1, first, a medal is inserted from the medal insertion slot 31 or a medal (credit) stored by operating the bet switch 32 is used to bet a medal. When the prescribed number of medals set according to the gaming state of the slot machine 1 (hereinafter simply referred to as “gaming state”) is bet, the activated line is activated and the lever 33 can be operated. That is, the game can be started. At this time, medals inserted in excess of a prescribed number set according to the gaming state or the like are stored as credits.

  The effective line is a virtual line for determining a winning combination, and the symbols of the rotating reels 41, 42, and 43 displayed on the window 21 are connected one by one by the effective line. In this slot machine 1, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, there are three horizontal lines of an upper line 71, a middle line 72, and a lower line 73, a right-up line 74, and a right-down line. It is composed of 75 diagonal two, and is validated according to the number of medals bet (the number of bets). The symbols displayed on the window 21 of the slot machine 1 are three symbols for each rotating reel as shown in FIG.

  When the lever 33 is operated in a state where the game can be started, the winning combination is performed and the rotation of the rotary reels 41, 42, and 43 is started. In this state, when any one of the stop switches 34, 35, 36 is operated, the rotary reels 41, 42, 43 corresponding to the stop switches 34, 35, 36 are stopped, and the window 21 is matched with the winning combination. Results are displayed. By stopping all the rotating reels 41, 42 and 43, one game is completed, and a predetermined number of medals are paid out according to a combination of symbols arranged on the active line, that is, a winning combination.

  As described above, a series of operations for obtaining a game result by operating the bet switch 32, the lever 33, and the stop switches 34, 35, and 36 is referred to as a game, and a game is performed or a period during which a game is performed is a game period. That's it. A game unit is a game, and one game is called a unit game.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the slot machine 1 has a gaming state composed of a normal state (RT0, RT1), an ART and bonus preparation state (RT2), a bonus state (RT3), and an ART (RT4). Have. The transition of the game state is performed when winning of each transition replay or when a predetermined combination (here, a bell) is missed. It should be noted that the missing of a predetermined combination refers to a case where a predetermined combination is missed and symbols corresponding to the predetermined combination are not aligned on the active line.

  The normal state is a gaming state when the player does not hit the ART and bonus preparation state transition combination (RT2 transition replay) or the ART transition combination (RT4 transition replay). In addition, the ART and bonus preparation state hit the ART and bonus preparation state transition combination (RT2 transition replay), but the gaming state has not transitioned to the bonus state or ART (RT3 transition replay or RT4 transition replay has won a prize). No game state.

  ART is a state where the probability of replaying (replay) is higher than in the normal state and medals are less likely to be reduced (replay time (RT)), and small roles that are difficult to acquire in the normal state (push order etc.) are guaranteed A gaming state in which navigation (assist time (AT)) for acquisition is performed. Further, the bonus state means an ART (pseudo bonus) in which the production method and the lottery method are changed.

  Note that a small combination means a combination associated with a combination of symbols in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out when winning a prize. Replay refers to a role associated with a combination of symbols that enables the next game without betting a medal when winning.

(Control device)
The control device 100 includes a CPU that performs arithmetic operations and the like, a ROM and a RAM that store programs or data necessary for the progress of games, and the like. As shown in FIG. 2, the control device 100 includes a main control unit 110 and a sub control unit 120. The main control unit 110 performs control for advancing the game. For example, the stepping motors 61, 62, and 63 are controlled based on the operations of the bet switch 32, the lever 33, and the stop switches 34, 35, and 36 to start or end the rotation of the rotary reels 41, 42, and 43. The sub-control unit 120 performs control for performing various effects. For example, the content of the effect is determined based on the signal transmitted from the main control unit 110, the liquid crystal display device 22, the electrical decoration device 23, and the speaker 24 are controlled to output the determined content of the effect.

[Main control section]
As shown in FIG. 2, the main control unit 110 includes a combination drawing unit 111 having a plurality of combination drawing tables 1111, a rotating reel control unit 112, a game result determination unit 113, a hopper control unit 114, and an external signal output. Part 115.

  Based on the operation signal of the lever 33, the role lotter 111 performs lottery of a role associated with a predetermined symbol combination of the rotary reels 41, 42, and 43. Specifically, based on a random number acquired when the operation signal of the lever 33 is output and a role lottery table 1111, a role is drawn and a winning combination is determined. The result of the combination drawing is output as a combination drawing result signal. The outputted winning lottery result signal is transmitted from the winning lottery unit 111 to the rotating reel control unit 112 and the sub control unit 120.

  The operation signal of the bet switch 32 is when a predetermined number of medals are stored and the bet switch 32 is operated and received during the bet reception period (when the bet switch 32 is turned on). Is output.

  The operation signal of the lever 33 is an operation signal when the operation signal of the bet switch 32 or the detection signal of the medal insertion sensor for a predetermined number of medals is output and accepted (the lever 33 is turned on). Output).

  The operation signals of the stop switches 34, 35, 36 are the stop switches 34, 35, 36 in a state where the operation signal of the lever 33 is output after the rotation of the rotating reels 41, 42, 43 is started and becomes a steady rotation. Is output when the operation is performed and accepted (when the stop switches 34, 35, and 36 are turned on).

  Note that whether or not an operation signal for each switch has been output is determined for each game. Further, in this specification, the operation of each switch means an operation in which an operation signal of each switch is output unless otherwise described.

  6 and 7 are diagrams illustrating the format of information included in the winning lottery table 1111.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the role lottery table 1111 is provided for each gaming state of RT0 to RT4, and information on lottery classification that may be won by the lottery of the role lottery unit 111 shown in FIG. Have. In each combination lottery table shown in FIG. 6, for each gaming state, a lottery category that may be won is indicated by “◯”, and a lottery category that is not likely to win is indicated by “x”. The lottery table 1111 is provided with a plurality of areas (numerical areas) in which a combination corresponding to a random number acquired when the lever 33 is operated is stored. , “○” is associated with each lot.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 7, the lottery section information stored in the winning lottery table 1111 includes information on one or more combinations set for each lottery section. For example, if the combination associated with the lottery division is a pressing combination that can be won when the stop switches 34, 35, and 36 are operated in a predetermined order, the set pressing is performed. Information on the order and information on the order of operation of the corresponding stop switches 34, 35, 36 are included.

  In FIG. 7, the order of operations of the stop switches 34, 35, and 36 in which the pressing order can be won is indicated by three numbers at the top of the table. In this figure, “1” means the operation of the stop switches 34, 35, and 36 corresponding to the left reel, “2” to the middle reel, and “3” to the right reel. For example, in the case of “123”, the stop switches 34, 35, and 36 are operated in the order of the stop switch 34 corresponding to the left reel 41, the stop switch 35 corresponding to the middle reel 42, and the stop switch 36 corresponding to the right reel 43. It is shown that. The pushing order of the pushing order combination is such that navigation (notification of pushing order) is performed when a predetermined condition is satisfied.

  The slot machine 1 is set so that all of the combinations associated with the winning lottery divisions are won at the same time. For example, as a result of the role lottery of the role lottery unit 111, when the lottery divisions “middle bells 1 to 4” and “right bells 1 to 4” are won, two types of middle bells and four types of middle bells 1 to 4 or Hit right bell 1-4 at the same time. The two types of middle bells operate on different condition devices, but the corresponding symbol combinations are the same. Similarly, the four kinds of middle bells (right bells) 1 to 4 have different condition devices to be operated, but corresponding symbol combinations are the same.

  For example, when “medium bell 1” is hit, the operation order of the stop switches 34, 35, and 36 is “213” and “231”, and the operation order of the stop switches 34, 35, and 36 is “123”. "1", "132", "312" and "321" are simultaneously won. The “213” middle bell and the “231” middle bell are all associated with the same symbol combination, although the operating condition devices are different. The middle bells 1 of “123”, “132”, “312”, and “321” are all associated with the same combination of symbols, although the operating condition devices are different.

  The middle bell, the middle bells 1 to 4 and the right bells 1 to 4 are small roles with payout of medals, and the medals to be paid out when winning are more than the middle bells 1 to 4 and the right bells 1 to 4 The middle bell is set to be more. That is, the middle bell is an example of the first combination having the highest payout of medals among the combinations associated with the same winning combination that has been won at the same time. 1-4 are examples of the 2nd combination with the largest number of winning combinations among the combinations associated with the same winning combination that is won simultaneously.

  In FIG. 7, “middle bells 1 to 4 (right bells 1 to 4) or bell spilling” are shown in the push order column set for “middle bells 1 to 4” and “right bells 1 to 4”. The middle bells 1 to 4 and the right bells 1 to 4 are not able to win depending on the positions of the rotary reels 41, 42, and 43 when the stop switches 34, 35, and 36 are operated. This indicates a possible push order. For this reason, “bell bell spill” corresponds to one of the lottery categories “middle bells 1 to 4” and “right bells 1 to 4”, and either of the middle bells 1 to 4 or right bells 1 to 4 wins The stop switches 34, 35, and 36 are operated in the possible order, which means that the middle bells 1 to 4 and the right bells 1 to 4 are missed.

  The rotary reel control unit 112 includes a rotation start control unit 1121 and a rotation stop control unit 1122.

  The rotation start control unit 1121 controls the stepping motors 61, 62, 63 of the rotary reel unit 40 based on the operation signal of the lever 33 to start the rotation of the rotary reels 41, 42, 43. That is, the rotation start control unit 1121 performs rotation start control of the rotary reels 41, 42, and 43. Note that the rotation start control unit 1121 controls the stepping motors 61, 62, and 63 so that the rotating reels 41, 42, and 43 rotate at a speed of, for example, 80 rotations / minute.

  The rotation stop control unit 1122 controls the stepping motors 61, 62, and 63 of the rotary reel unit 40 based on the role lottery result signal output from the role lottery unit 111 and the operation signals of the stop switches 34, 35, and 36. Then, the rotation of the rotary reels 41, 42, 43 is stopped. That is, the rotation stop control unit 1122 performs rotation stop control of the rotary reels 41, 42, and 43. The rotation stop control unit 1122 includes a rotary reel position detection unit 1123, a symbol table 1124, a symbol detection unit 1125, a push order determination unit 1126, a symbol determination unit 1127, and a stop table 1128.

  The rotating reel position detection unit 1123 detects the positions of the rotating reels 41, 42, and 43 when the stop switches 34, 35, and 36 are operated based on the operation signal of the stop switch 34.

  Specifically, the rotating reel position detection unit 1123 first receives the detection signal output from the rotating reel position detection sensor 44 after the rotation of each of the rotating reels 41, 42, and 43 is first started. Steps of the stepping motors 61, 62, 63 until the operation signals of the stop switches 34, 35, 36 are output (hereinafter simply referred to as steps) are measured. The measurement of the step is performed every time the rotating reels 41, 42, and 43 make one rotation, that is, every time the detection signal output from the rotating reel position detection sensor 44 is received. measure.

  Next, based on the measured steps, the rotary reel position detection unit 1123 detects the absolute position in the slot machine 1, that is, the reference point of each rotary reel 41, 42, 43 from the middle stage line 72. Detect the steps. Then, the positions of the rotating reels 41, 42, 43 when the stop switches 34, 35, 36 are operated are detected from the detected reference point step. The detected positions of the rotating reels 41, 42, 43 are output as a rotating reel position detection signal by the rotating reel position detection unit 1123.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the symbol table 1124 includes information on steps assigned to the symbols (21 symbols A to U) displayed on the rotary reels 41, 42, and 43. In this symbol table 1124, 24 steps are assigned to each symbol. The reference points of the rotary reels 41, 42, and 43 are set to zero, and the steps assigned to the symbols are defined by numbers from zero to 503.

  FIG. 8 shows only the step at the center of each symbol. The steps assigned to each symbol are assigned 12 steps on the upstream side in the rotational direction and 11 steps on the downstream side in the rotational direction from the central step. For example, when the rotary reels 41, 42, and 43 rotate in the direction X, the steps assigned to the symbol A are 493 to 503 steps and 0 to 12 steps. Moreover, the symbols A to U shown in FIG. 8 are symbols corresponding to the numbers 0 to 20 shown in FIG.

  The symbol detection unit 1125 is based on the rotation reel position detection signal output from the rotation reel position detection unit 1123 and the symbol table 1124, and the rotation reels 41, 42, when the stop switches 34, 35, 36 are operated. The symbol of 43 predetermined positions is detected.

  For example, if the step of the upper line 71 when the operation signal of the left stop switch 34 is output is 360 steps, the symbol detection unit 1125 determines the symbol of the upper line 71 based on the symbol table 1124 shown in FIG. Is detected as symbol G, the symbol of the middle line 72 is symbol H, and the symbol of the lower line 73 is symbol I. The detected symbol is output as a symbol detection signal by the symbol detector 1125.

  Based on the combination drawing result signal output by the combination drawing unit 111 and the operation signals of the stop switches 34, 35, and 36, the push order determination unit 1126 pays out medals as a result of the combination drawing of the combination drawing unit 111. When a plurality of types of push order combinations are won at the same time, the order of the operated stop switches 34, 35, 36 is the predetermined push order of the push order with the largest number of medals paid out of the pressed push orders. It is determined whether or not they match. The determination result is output as a pressing order determination signal by the pressing order determination unit 1126.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, the order of operation of the stop switches 34, 35, 36 of the middle bell, which is the pushing order with the highest payout of medals, is, for example, the case where “middle bell 1-4” is hit , “213” and “231”, for example, “312” and “321” when hitting “right bell 1 to 4”.

  The symbol determination unit 1127 receives a medal as a result of the combination drawing of the combination drawing unit 111 based on the combination drawing result signal output by the combination drawing unit 111 and the symbol detection signal output by the combination detection unit 1125. When a plurality of types of winning combinations are won at the same time, a symbol at a predetermined position when a stop switch 34, 35, 36 is operated on a predetermined rotating reel among the rotating reels 41, 42, 43 is a predetermined symbol. It is determined whether or not.

  For example, the 19th symbol “bar A” (design T in FIG. 8) shown in FIG. 3 can be stopped on any effective line of the intermediate rotating reel 42 as a predetermined symbol of “middle bell 1”. Suppose a range symbol has been set. In this case, in the slot machine 1, the symbols when the stop switches 34, 35, and 36 are operated can be stopped by moving up to four symbols (ie, sliding up to four frames). When the stop switch 35 corresponding to the intermediate rotation reel 42 is operated, the symbol on the middle line 72 of the intermediate rotation reel 42 is shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not the 18th symbol “watermelon” to the 3rd symbol “Lip A” (symbol S to symbol D shown in FIG. 8).

  Further, for example, as a predetermined symbol of “Right Bell 1”, the symbol “Seven” (symbol K of FIG. 8) shown in FIG. Suppose that the design of the range which can be stopped by is set. In this case, the symbol determination unit 1127 hits the “right bell 1” as a result of the lottery, and when the stop switch 36 corresponding to the right rotation reel 42 is operated, the symbol on the middle line 72 of the right rotation reel 43. Is determined whether it is the 9th symbol “bar C” shown in FIG. 3 to the 12th symbol “Lip A” (symbol J to symbol M shown in FIG. 8). This determination result is output as a symbol determination signal by the symbol determination unit 1127.

  The stop table 1128 is a rotation that is determined according to the winning combination as a result of the drawing of the winning combination portion 111 and the symbols on the effective line when the operation signals of the stop switches 34, 35, and 36 are output. It has information on the stop positions of the reels 41, 42, 43. The information on the stop positions of the rotary reels 41, 42, and 43 includes the winning combination as a result of the winning combination of the winning combination drawing portion 111 and the symbols on the effective line when the stop switches 34, 35, and 36 are operated. Accordingly, the number of steps of the stepping motors 61, 62, 63 to be rotated after the stop switches 34, 35, 36 are operated (the number of sliding symbols of the symbol) is included.

  The rotation stop control of the rotary reels 41, 42, and 43 is performed by the rotation stop control unit 1122, the symbol drawing result signal output by the symbol drawing unit 111, the symbol detection signal output by the symbol detection unit 1125, and the stop table 1128. And based on. For example, rotation stop control (so-called pull-in control) of the rotating reels 41, 42, and 43 is performed so that the symbols corresponding to the winning combination are aligned on the effective line, or the symbol corresponding to the winning combination is not present. Rotation stop control (so-called kicking control) of the rotary reels 41, 42, and 43 is performed so as not to be aligned on the effective line. The result of the rotation stop control of the rotation reels 41, 42, 43 is output as a rotation reel stop signal by the rotation stop control unit 1122. The output rotation reel stop signal is transmitted from the rotation stop control unit 1122 to the game result determination unit 113 and the like.

  Further, as a result of the role lottery of the role lottery unit 111, if the winning order with payout, that is, in the lottery classification shown in FIG. 6 hits "middle bell 1-4" and "right bell 1-4" In addition to the lottery result signal, the symbol detection signal, and the stop table 1128, the rotating reel is further based on the pressing order determination signal output from the pressing order determination unit 1126 and the symbol determination signal output from the symbol determination unit 1127. The rotation stop control of 41, 42, 43 is performed.

  Specifically, it is determined by the pressing order determination unit 1126 that the operated stop switches 34, 35, and 36 match the pressing order of the pressed pressing combination, and the symbol determination unit 1127 is on the active line. If it is determined that the symbol is a predetermined symbol, among the combinations that are associated with the same symbol combination that has been won at the same time, the push forward with the highest medal payout, that is, the middle bell wins the prize In addition, rotation stop control of the rotary reels 41, 42, and 43 is performed.

  On the other hand, when it is determined by the push order determination unit 1126 that the order of the operated stop switches 34, 35, 36 does not match the push order of the pressed push combination, or the push order determination unit 1126 operates It is determined that the order of the stop switches 34, 35, and 36 is matched with the pressing order of the pressed pressing combination, but the symbol determining unit 1127 determines that the symbol on the active line is not a predetermined symbol. If the combination of the same symbols won at the same time is associated, the winning combination having the largest number of winnings, that is, the middle bell (right bell) 1 to 4 wins the rotary reel 41, The rotation stop control of 42 and 43 is performed.

  The game result determination unit 113 determines a game result based on the combination lottery result signal output from the combination drawing unit 111 and the rotation reel stop signal output from the rotation reel control unit 112. The result of the game includes, for example, a determination as to whether or not the winning combination has won based on the symbols arranged on the active line. Here, the game result determination unit 113 determines that the winning combination has been won when the combination of symbols stopped on the active line matches a predetermined symbol, and outputs the determination result as a game result determination signal. The output game result determination signal is transmitted from the game result determination unit 113 to the hopper control unit 114 and the sub control unit 120.

  The hopper control unit 114 controls the hopper unit 50 based on the game result determination signal output by the game result determination unit or the operation signal output by operating the settlement switch of the operation unit 30, Make a withdrawal. The medals paid out based on the game result determination signal (medals won by winning and winning) are first stored as credits. As a result of storing medals, if the upper limit of credits (for example, 50) is exceeded, the hopper control unit 114 controls the hopper unit 50 and pays out medals from the hopper unit 50 in excess of the upper limit. Further, when the settlement switch is operated when there is one or more stored medals (when the credit is 1 or more), the hopper control unit 114 controls the hopper unit 50, and the stored medals are stored in the hopper unit. 50 is paid out.

  When the gaming state shifts to a predetermined advantageous state, the external signal output unit 115 outputs a signal indicating that the gaming state has shifted to the predetermined advantageous state to the hall computer. In addition, when the slot machine 1 is changed or reset, the external signal output unit 115 notifies the sub-control unit 120 or the like that a setting change signal indicating that the setting of the slot machine 1 has been changed or the slot machine 1 A reset signal indicating that the slot machine 1 has been reset or a power-on signal indicating that the power of the slot machine 1 has been turned on is output.

  The advantageous state means an advantageous state having a higher expectation of medal acquisition than the normal gaming state. For example, in addition to the bonus state (RT3) and ART (RT4), the ART winning amount in the normal state (RT1) is high. Probability states are also included.

[Sub-control unit]
As shown in FIG. 2, the sub control unit 120 includes an advantageous state drawing unit 121, an ART control unit 122, a ceiling measurement unit 123, an effect control unit 124, and an advantageous state transition unit 125.

  The advantageous state lottery unit 121 draws, for example, whether or not to shift the gaming state to ART (or bonus state) based on the part lottery result signal output from the part lottery unit 111 of the main control unit 110 (ART). A lottery) or a lottery (high probability state transition lottery) to determine whether or not to shift the ART lottery state to the high probability state with a probability corresponding to the winning combination.

  Specifically, in the ART lottery, for example, when a predetermined combination is won, a push order push to shift the gaming state to the ART based on the ART drawing state at the time of the predetermined combination is pushed. Whether or not the order is to be navigated (notified) is determined. When it is determined that the ART lottery is won by the advantageous state lottery unit 121, a game period (the number of ART games) that can be played on the ART is also determined. In addition, when the game state is ART, the advantageous state lottery unit 121 performs lottery such as adding the number of ART games when receiving a combination lottery result signal indicating that a predetermined combination has been won. These lottery results are output as an ART lottery result signal by the advantageous state lottery unit 121. The output ART lottery result signal is transmitted from the advantageous state lottery unit 121 to the ART control unit 122 and the effect control unit 124.

  In the high-probability state lottery, specifically, for example, if the ART lottery is not won, it is determined whether to shift the ART lottery state to the high-probability state with a probability corresponding to the winning combination. Done. The advantageous state lottery unit 121 outputs the result of the high probability state transition lottery as a high probability state lottery result signal. The output high probability state lottery result signal is transmitted from the advantageous state lottery unit 121 to the effect control unit 124.

  The ART control unit 122 determines whether to change the gaming state from the normal state to ART, or from ART to the normal state, and based on the determination result, changes the gaming state from the normal state to ART, or ART. To normal state.

  Whether or not to shift the gaming state from the normal state to ART is determined based on, for example, the ART lottery result signal output from the advantageous state lottery unit 121, that is, whether or not the ART lottery has been won. When it is determined that the gaming state is shifted from the normal state to the ART, the ART control unit 122 outputs the determination result as an ART preparation signal. The output ART preparation signal is transmitted from the ART control unit 122 to the ceiling measurement unit 123 and the effect control unit 124.

  Whether or not to shift the gaming state from ART to the normal state, for example, the ART period added to the number of ART games determined when the gaming period after shifting to ART (the number of ART digested games) hits the ART lottery Judgment is made based on whether or not the total number of ART games including the number of games has been reached. When it is determined that the number of ART digest games has reached the total number of ART games and it is determined that the gaming state is to be shifted from ART to the normal state, the ART control unit 122 outputs the determination result as a normal state preparation signal. The output normal state preparation signal is transmitted from the ART control unit 122 to the effect control unit 124.

  After the normal preparation signal is output, when the specific push order is not won and the specific push order is not won, the game state is changed from ART to the normal state. In this case, the ART control unit 122 shifts the gaming state from the ART to the normal state, and outputs an ART end signal indicating that the gaming state has shifted from the ART state to the normal state. The output ART end signal is transmitted from the ART control unit 122 to the effect control unit 124 and the like.

  Further, the ART control unit 122 measures the total number of ART games based on the ART lottery result signal output from the advantageous state lottery unit 121, and based on the game result determination signal output from the game result determination unit 113, The number of ART digest games is counted.

  Further, the ART control unit 122 notifies the pressing order of the pressing order based on the gaming state. The notification of the pressing order is performed using the liquid crystal display device 22 or the like via the effect control unit 124. For example, when an ART preparation signal is received, a push order for transitioning the gaming state to the ART preparation state (RT2 transition replay), and a push order for transitioning the gaming state from the ART preparation state to ART (RT3, RT4) Transition replay), and the pressing order such as the pressing order (6 selection bell) in which medals are paid out at the time of winning is notified.

  Based on the game result determination signal output from the game result determination unit 113, the ceiling measuring unit 123 measures the game period that has elapsed without shifting to this advantageous state after the end of the predetermined advantageous state. Specifically, for example, after the game state has shifted from the bonus state to the normal state, the game period that has passed without a specific combination (RT3 transition replay) for shifting the game state from the normal state to the bonus state being won Measure the number of ceiling digestion games. The measured number of ceiling digest games is output as a ceiling measurement signal by the ceiling measurement unit 123 and transmitted from the ceiling measurement unit 123 to the advantageous state transition unit 125.

  Further, the ceiling measuring unit 123 receives, for example, an ART preparation signal (that is, when an advantageous state is entered), or a setting change signal, a reset signal, or a power-on signal ( That is, when the slot machine 1 is changed or reset or powered on, the number of ceiling digest games is reset to zero.

  The effect control unit 124 may be, for example, a role lottery result signal output from the role lottery unit 111, an ART lottery result signal output from the advantageous state lottery unit 121, or an ART transition signal output from the ART control unit 122 and the normal An effect pattern is selected for each game in accordance with the state transition signal. The selection of the production pattern is performed based on a table in which the contents of the production corresponding to the winning combination or the gaming state are stored. The effect control unit 124 controls the liquid crystal display device 22, the illumination device 23, and the speaker 24 based on the selected effect pattern, and outputs the effect.

  By the way, the production table includes a precursor production table that may be selected when, for example, a predetermined combination is won or an ART drawing is won. The sign effect table is one of the areas stored in the effect table that is selected only during a predetermined game period (prediction effect period) in which the sign effect is performed. This is one of the effects suggesting the expected level of transition.

  When the sign effect table is selected, the effect control unit 124 determines and stores a game period (number of sign games) for ending the sign effect. Then, the effect control unit 124 measures the game period (number of predictor digest games) that has elapsed from the start of the predictor effect, and whether or not the number of predictor digest games has reached the stored number of predictor games. Determine. When it is determined that the number of precursor games has reached the stored number of precursor games, the effect control unit 124 ends the precursor effect.

  The advantageous state transition unit 125 sets an upper limit value (the number of ceiling games) of the game period required to shift the gaming state to a predetermined advantageous state, and based on the ceiling measurement signal output from the ceiling measurement unit 123 Then, it is determined whether or not the measured number of ceiling digest games has reached the set number of ceiling games. And when it determines with the measured game period having reached the set number of ceiling games, the advantageous state transfer part 125 makes a game state transfer to a predetermined advantageous state. For example, when the game period measured by the ceiling measuring unit 123 reaches the set number of ceiling games, the advantageous state transition unit 125 outputs a forced transition signal for shifting the gaming state to ART. The output forced transition signal is transmitted to the ART control unit 122 to shift the gaming state to ART (ceiling function).

  The number of ceiling games is, for example, a predetermined game period. In addition to the case where the measured game period reaches the set ceiling game number, the slot machine 1 is changed or reset. Will be reset.

(Game control processing)
Next, the game control process of the slot machine 1 will be described with reference to FIGS.

[Control processing of game period]
As shown in FIG. 9, when the player operates the bet switch 32, the main control unit 110 turns on the bet switch 32 and outputs a bet switch operation signal (step S100).

  After the operation signal for the bet switch 32 is output, when the player operates the lever 33, the main control unit 110 turns on the lever 33 and outputs the operation signal for the lever 33 (step S101). When the operation signal of the lever 33 is output, the hand drawing part 111 performs the hand drawing (step S102). The result of the lottery of the combination is output as a combination of lottery result signal by the combination of lottery part 111. The outputted winning lottery result signal is transmitted from the winning lottery unit 111 to the ceiling measuring unit 123 and the like.

  When the combination drawing result signal is transmitted from the combination drawing unit 111, the rotary reel control unit 112 controls the stepping motors 61, 62, and 63 to start the rotation of the rotary reels 41, 42, and 43 (step S103). . When the player operates the stop switches 34, 35, 36 after the rotation speeds of the rotary reels 41, 42, 43 reach a constant speed, the main control unit 110 causes the stop switches 34, 35, 36 to operate. Is turned on and an operation signal for the stop switches 34, 35, 36 is output (step S104).

  When the operation signals of the stop switches 34, 35, and 36 are output, the rotating reel control unit 112 controls the stepping motors 61, 62, and 63 to stop the rotating reels 41, 42, and 43 (step S105).

  During the game period, if the stop switches 34, 35, 36 are operated while the rotary reels 41, 42, 43 are rotating, the positions from which the stop switches 34, 35, 36 are operated based on the winning lottery result signal. Retraction control or kicking control is performed so as to stop within 4 frames (4 symbols) or within 190 ms. The pull-in control is control for stopping the rotating reels 41, 42, and 43 so that a specific symbol stops on the effective line. The kicking control is a control for stopping the rotating reels 41, 42, and 43 so that a specific symbol does not stop on the effective line.

  Further, when the operation signal of the stop switches 34, 35, and 36 is output, the rotating reel control unit 112 determines whether or not all the rotating reels 41, 42, and 43 are stopped (Step S106). When it is determined that all the rotating reels 41, 42, 43 are not stopped, the process returns to step S104, and steps S103 to S106 are repeated until all the rotating reels 41, 42, 43 are stopped.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that all the rotating reels 41, 42, 43 are stopped, the rotating reel control unit 112 transmits a rotating reel stop signal to the game result determining unit 113, and the process proceeds to step S107. In step S107, the game result determination unit 113 determines a result such as whether or not a winning combination is won based on the winning combination result signal and the rotating reel stop signal, and based on the determination result. Then, processing such as paying out medals is performed. When the processes of steps S100 to S107 are executed, the main control unit 110 determines that one game has been completed.

  After the process of step S107, the process returns to step S100, and the main control unit 110 waits for the operation of the bet switch 32.

[Control processing of the game period when a medal is paid out in a pushing order]
The control process of the game period in the case where the medal payout is in a pushing order will be described with reference to FIG. The control process shown in FIG. 10 is performed in parallel with the control process shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 10, when a combination of lotteries is performed by the combination drawing unit 111 and, as a result, a plurality of types of pushing orders with medals are paid out at the same time (step S200), the result of this combination drawing is the combination drawing. The part 111 outputs it as a role lottery result signal. The output combination lottery result signal is transmitted from the combination drawing unit 111 to the rotary reel control unit 112 and the like.

  When the combination drawing result signal is transmitted from the combination drawing unit 111, the rotation start control unit 1121 of the rotation reel control unit 112 performs rotation start control of the rotation reels 41, 42, and 43 (step S201). When one of the stop switches 34, 35, 36 is operated by the player after the rotation speed of the rotary reels 41, 42, 43 has reached a certain speed, the main control unit 110 operates the operated stop switch. The switches 34, 35, and 36 are turned on, and operation signals for the operated stop switches 34, 35, and 36 are output (step S202).

  When the operation signal of the stop switches 34, 35, and 36 is output, the rotary reel position detector 1123 detects the position of the rotary reels 41, 42, and 43 when the operation signal is output. Based on the position of the rotating reels 41, 42, and 43 detected by the rotating reel position detecting unit 1123 and the symbol table 1124, the symbol detecting unit 1125 performs a predetermined rotation among the rotating reels 41, 42, and 43. In the reel, a symbol at a predetermined position when the stop switches 34, 35, and 36 are operated is detected (step S203). The detected symbol is output as a symbol detection signal by the symbol detector 1125.

  When the operation signals of all the stop switches 34, 35, 36 are output and the symbol detection signals are output for all the rotating reels 41, 42, 43, the push order determination unit 1126 operates the operated stop switches 34, 35. , 36 match the order of operations of the push order with the highest payout of medals out of the combinations associated with the same symbol combination that has been won at the same time as a result of the combination drawing of the combination drawing unit 111. It is determined whether or not (step S204). The determination result is output as a pressing order determination signal by the pressing order determination unit 1126.

  When it is determined from the output push order determination signal that the order of the operated stop switches 34, 35, and 36 matches the order of the push order operations with the highest payout of medals, the symbol determination unit 1127. Is determined based on the symbol detection signal output by the symbol detection unit 1125 whether or not the symbol at the predetermined position of the predetermined rotating reel detected by the symbol detection unit 1125 is the predetermined symbol (step S205). ). This determination result is output as a symbol determination signal by the symbol determination unit 1127.

  When it is determined from the output symbol determination signal that the symbol at the predetermined position of the predetermined rotating reel when the stop switch 34, 35, 36 is operated is the predetermined symbol, the rotation stop control unit 1122 At the same time, the rotation stop control of the rotary reels 41, 42, and 43 is performed so that the push order with the largest payout of medals out of a plurality of types of push order with payout of medals won (step S206). The rotation of all the reels 41, 42, 43 is stopped (step S208).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S204 that the order of the operated stop switches 34, 35, and 36 does not match the order of the push-forwarding operations with the highest payout of medals, or stop in step S205. When it is determined that the symbol at the predetermined position of the predetermined rotating reel when the switches 34, 35, and 36 are operated is not the predetermined symbol, the rotation stop control unit 1122 selects the combination of the same symbols that are simultaneously hit. Rotation stop control of the rotary reels 41, 42, and 43 is performed so that the push order with the largest number of winning combinations wins among the pushing orders that the player has won (step S207), and the rotations of all the reels 41, 42, and 43 are rotated. Is stopped (step S208).

  When all the rotating reels 41, 42, 43 are stopped, the rotation stop control unit 1122 outputs a rotation stop signal indicating the result of the rotation stop control of the rotating reels 41, 42, 43 and transmits it to the game result determination unit 113. . The game result determination unit 113 that has received the rotating reel stop signal determines whether the winning combination is won based on the winning lottery result signal and the rotating reel stop signal, or among the winning combinations at the same time. As a result, it is determined which of the winning combinations has won. Based on this result determination, a process such as paying out medals is performed (step S209).

  After the game result determination and processing in step S209 are performed, the process returns to step S200, and the main control unit 110 waits for a winning combination with a medal payout.

  As described above, in the slot machine 1, when a plurality of types of winning combinations that have been paid out medals are simultaneously won as a result of the winning combination, the stop switch 34 is used when the symbol at the predetermined position on the predetermined rotating reel is the predetermined symbol. , 35, and 36, the winning combination with the most payout among the combinations associated with the same combination of symbols won simultaneously can be won. Thereby, the game performance of the slot machine 1 can be improved, and the player's willingness to play can be maintained.

  Further, as a result of the lottery, when a plurality of types of pushing orders with medals are paid out at the same time, the stop switches 34, 35, and 36 are operated in a predetermined pushing order, and at a predetermined position of a predetermined rotating reel. By operating the stop switches 34, 35, and 36 when the symbol is a predetermined symbol, the combination of the same symbol that is won at the same time is associated with the pushing combination with the highest medal payout. You can win a prize. For this reason, for example, in order to increase medals during ART, not only the stop switches 34, 35, 36 are operated in a predetermined order, but also the predetermined symbols of the rotary reels 41, 42, 43 are on the effective line. It is necessary to operate the stop switches 34, 35, 36 when Thereby, the game performance of the slot machine 1 can be improved, and the player's willingness to play can be maintained.
