<Design arrangement>
The symbol arrangement applied to each of the reels 110 to 112 described above will be described with reference to FIG. It should be noted that the figure is a view showing the arrangement of the symbols applied to each reel (left reel 110, middle reel 111, right reel 112) in a plane developed.

On each reel 110-112, a plurality of types (10 types in the present embodiment) of symbols shown on the right side of the figure are arranged in a predetermined number of frames (21 frames of numbers 0 to 20 in the present embodiment). Further, the numbers 0 to 20 shown at the left end of the figure are numbers indicating the arrangement positions of the symbols on the reels 110 to 112. For example, in the present embodiment, the number 1 frame on the left reel 110 has a "watermelon" symbol, the number 0 frame on the middle reel 111 has a "bell" symbol, and the number 2 frame on the right reel 112 has a "watermelon" symbol. The symbols of "Seven 1" are arranged respectively.

<Types of winning roles>
Next, the types of winning combinations of the slot machine 100 will be described with reference to FIG. Note that FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the types of winning combinations (including operating combinations), the symbol combinations corresponding to each winning combination, and the operation or payout of each winning combination.

Among the winning combinations in the present embodiment, the special role 1 and the special role 2 (BB (big bonus)) are the roles to be transferred to the bonus game, and the re-game combination 1 and the re-game combination 2 do not insert a new medal. As a role that enables the game again, the winning combination may be distinguished from the winning combination and called the "operating combination". However, the "winning combination" in the present embodiment includes the special role 1 and the special role 2 that are the operating role. The re-game combination 1 and the re-game combination 2 are included. A game in which the insertion of medals is exempted due to the display of the symbol combination corresponding to the re-game combination 1 and the re-game combination 2 may be referred to as a re-game. More specifically, the re-game combination is a combination in which the game can be played without newly using the game medium used for the game. Further, in the present embodiment, if it is a re-game, the same number of game media as the number of game media introduced in the previous game is automatically set. In addition, the "winning" in the present embodiment includes the case where the symbol combination of the operating combination without the distribution of medals (without the payout of medals) is displayed on the effective line. For example, the special combination 1, The prizes for the special role 2, the re-game role 1 and the re-game role 2 are included.

The winning combination of the slot machine 100 includes a big bonus (BB1, BB2), a small combination (small combination 1 to 6), and a replay combination (replay combination 1 and replay combination 2). It goes without saying that the types of winning combinations are not limited to this, and can be arbitrarily adopted.

The "big bonus (BB)" (hereinafter, may be simply referred to as "BB") is a special role (actuating role) in which a big bonus game (BB game), which is a special game, is started by winning a prize. In the corresponding symbol combination, BB1 is "Seven1-Seven1-Seven1" and BB2 is "Seven2-Seven2-Seven2". In addition, the flag is carried over for BB. That is, for example, when the BB1 is internally won, a flag indicating this is set (stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300), but even if the BB is not won in the game, it is inside until the winning. The state in which the flag indicating the winning is set is maintained, the BB is internally won even after the next game, and the corresponding symbol combination "Seven 1-Seven 1-Seven 1" is in a state of winning all the prizes. The main control unit 300 shifts the gaming state to the RT2 gaming state (described in detail with reference to FIG. 7 to be described later) based on the display of the symbol combination corresponding to the BB.

Since the Seven 1 symbol is a red symbol and the Seven 2 symbol is a pink symbol, stopping the red symbol on the effective line in the present embodiment reminds the player of the BB1 prize. Also, the fact that the pink pattern stops on the effective line may remind the player of the BB2 prize.

The "re-game combination (re-game combination 1 and re-game combination 2)" is a winning combination that triggers a re-game in which a medal (game medium) can be played in the next game by winning a prize. It is an operator), and medals are not paid out. The corresponding symbol combination is "replay-replay-replay (normal replay)" for the replay combination 1 and "replay-replay-watermelon (chance replay)" for the replay combination 2.

"Small role (small role 1 to small role 6)" (hereinafter, simply "small role 1", "small role 2", "small role 3", "small role 4", "small role 5", "small role 5" (Sometimes referred to as "role 6") is a winning combination in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out by winning, and the corresponding symbol combinations are "ANY-cherry-ANY (cherry)" for small role 1 and "ANY-cherry-ANY (cherry)" for small role 2. Watermelon-Watermelon-Watermelon (Watermelon) ", Small role 3 is" Bell-Bell-Bell (Bell) ", Small role 4 is" Replay-Bell-Bell (Bell 1) ", Small role 5 is" Bell-Replay- "Bell (Bell 2)" and small role 6 are "Bell-Bell-Replay (Bell 3)". The corresponding payout number is as shown in the figure. In the case of "ANY-cherry-ANY", the middle reel middle symbol of the middle reel 111 may be "cherry", and the symbols of the left reel 110 and the right reel 112 may be any symbol.

Here, the small winning combination 3 (bell) is a winning combination regardless of the order (pressing order) of the stop operations of the stop buttons 137 to 139, but the small winning combination 4 (bell 1) and the small winning combination 5 (bell 2). ) And the small winning combination 6 (bell 3) are designed to win a prize when the order of the stop operations of the stop buttons 137 to 139 matches a predetermined stop operation order. For example, the small winning combination 4 (bell 1) wins a prize when the first stop reel is set to the left reel 110, and the small winning combination 5 (bell 2) is stopped by setting the first stop reel to the middle reel 111. A prize is won when the operation is performed, and the small winning combination 6 (bell 3) is won when the stop operation is performed with the first stop reel as the right reel 112. Hereinafter, small role 4 (bell 1) is also referred to as push order bell 1, small role 5 (bell 2) is also referred to as push order bell 2, and small role 6 (bell 3) is also referred to as push order bell 3, and small roles 4 to 6 are collectively referred to. It is also called a push order bell.

Since the cherry symbol is a red symbol, the watermelon symbol is a green symbol, and the bell symbol is a yellow symbol, stopping the red symbol on the effective line in this embodiment is a cherry prize for the player. If the green symbol stops on the effective line, it may remind the player of the watermelon prize, and if the yellow symbol stops on the effective line, the player wins the bell. May be reminiscent of. In this embodiment, as the colors reminiscent of the internal winning combination, "red" reminiscent of the special role 1, "peach" reminiscent of the special role 2, "blue" reminiscent of the replay roles 1 and 2, and the small role 1 "Red" reminiscent of small roles 2, "green" reminiscent of small roles 2, and "yellow" reminiscent of small roles 3-6. The color reminiscent of each role does not mean a color that limits a specific color on the color wheel chart. For example, the "red" of the Seven 1 symbol of BB1 can be recognized as not "peach". Any color may be reddish, and the "peach" of the Seven 2 pattern of BB2 may be a color with a peachy color that can be recognized as not "red". The same applies to the colors of the patterns corresponding to other roles.

<Type of game state of the main control unit>
Next, the types and transitions of the gaming state of the main control unit 300 of the slot machine 100 will be described.

FIG. 7 is a transition diagram of the gaming state of the main control unit 300 of the slot machine 100. The game states of the main control unit 300 are roughly classified into three game states: a re-game low probability state (RT0), a special role 1 or special role 2 internal winning state (RT1), and a BB game state (RT2). Further, in the direction of the arrow shown in the figure, the gaming state shifts when the conditions described on the arrow are satisfied. In addition, there is a case where the normal game state (RT0 and RT1) and the BB game state (RT2) are roughly classified.

FIG. 8 shows a lottery table for winning combinations in each gaming state. The horizontal axis represents each game state, and the vertical axis shows the lottery value of each winning combination. The lottery probability is a value obtained by dividing the lottery value by 65536 and multiplying it by 100. For example, in RT0 (replay low probability state), the lottery value of the special winning combination 1 is 25, and the winning probability of the special winning combination 1 is 25/65536 * 100≈0.03%.

<Replay low probability state (RT0)>
The re-game low probability state is a game state in which the internal winning probability of the re-game combination is the lowest in the normal game state, and is also an initial game state. In the re-game low probability state, the winning combination to be internally won is drawn by referring to the lottery table in the column of "RT0" on the horizontal axis shown in FIG.

The winning roles that are internally won in the low probability state of re-game include special role 1, special role 2, special role 1 + re-game role 1 + re-game role 2, special role 2 + re-game role 1 + re-game role 2. There are a replay role 1, a replay role 1 + a replay role 2, a small role 1, a small role 2, a small role 3, a small role 4, a small role 5, and a small role 6. If the winning combination is not won, it will be lost and the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination will not be displayed. In addition, the fact that the winning combination was not won may be expressed as "winning a loss".

Here, "special role 1 + re-game combination 1 + re-game combination 2" indicates that the special role 1, the re-game combination 1 and the re-game combination 2 have been won at the same time. As will be described in detail later, when this combination is internally won, the main control unit 300 displays the symbol combination corresponding to the re-game combination 2 on the effective line when the player performs a predetermined stop operation. On the other hand, when the predetermined stop operation is not performed, the stop control is performed so that the symbol combination corresponding to the re-game combination 1 is displayed on the effective line.

Further, "special role 2 + re-game combination 1 + re-game combination 2" indicates that the special role 2, the re-game combination 1 and the re-game combination 2 have been elected at the same time. Even when this combination is won, the main control unit 300 replays the game when the player performs a predetermined stop operation, as in the case of winning the "special role 1 + re-game combination 1 + re-game combination 2". While the symbol combination corresponding to the combination 2 is displayed on the effective line, when the predetermined stop operation is not performed, the stop control is performed so that the symbol combination corresponding to the replay combination 1 is displayed on the effective line.

Further, "re-game combination 1 + re-game combination 2" indicates that the re-game combination 1 and the re-game combination 2 have been won at the same time. Even when this combination is won, the main control unit 300 replays the game when the player performs a predetermined stop operation, as in the case of winning the "special role 1 + re-game combination 1 + re-game combination 2". While the symbol combination corresponding to the combination 2 is displayed on the effective line, when the predetermined stop operation is not performed, the stop control is performed so that the symbol combination corresponding to the replay combination 1 is displayed on the effective line. The predetermined stop operation in the present embodiment means, but is not limited to, the first stop operation in which the first stop reel is the left reel 110. For example, not only the first stop operation but also the second stop operation may be the predetermined stop operation, or the timing of the stop operation may be the predetermined stop operation.

Further, in the re-game low probability state, when the special role 1 or the special role 2 is internally won, the state shifts to the special role 1 or the special role 2 internal winning state described later.

<Special role 1 or special role 2 internal winning state (RT1)>
In the special role 1 or special role 2 internal winning state, the special role 1 or special role 2 is internally won, and the player performs a stop operation at a predetermined timing to obtain a symbol combination corresponding to the special role 1 or special role 2. It is a game state that can be displayed. In the special role 1 or special role 2 internal winning state, the winning combination to be internally won is drawn with reference to the lottery table in the column of "RT1" on the horizontal axis shown in FIG. Special role 1 or special role 2 The winning combination that is internally won in the internal winning state includes re-game combination 1, re-game combination 1 + re-game combination 2, small role 1, small role 2, and small role 3. There are a small role 4, a small role 5, and a small role 6. If the winning combination is not won, it will be lost and the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination will not be displayed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, in the case where the special role 1 or the special role 2 is internally elected, the symbol combination of "BB1 (" Seven 1-Seven 1-Seven 1) "corresponding to the special role 1 is displayed. , When the symbol combination of "BB2 (Seven2-Seven2-Seven2)" corresponding to the special role 2 is displayed, the state shifts to the BB game state described later.

The probability of internally winning the re-game combination (= (3977 + 5000) / 65536 ≈ 1 / 7.3) in the special combination 1 or special combination 2 internal winning state (RT1) of the present embodiment is as shown in FIG. , It is the same as the probability of internally winning the re-game combination in the re-game low probability state (RT0) (= (150 + 150 + 7678 + 1000) / 65536 ≈ 1 / 7.3).
<BB game state (RT2)>
The BB gaming state is a gaming state that is more advantageous than the normal gaming state. In the BB game state, the winning combination to be internally won is drawn by referring to the lottery table in the column of "RT2" on the horizontal axis shown in FIG. The winning combination that is internally won in the BB game state includes a small combination 2 and a small combination 3. Further, as is clear from the lottery values shown in FIG. 8, RT2 has a higher expected value of the number of game media to be paid out than RT0 and RT1 (with a probability of 90% or more for small winning combination 2 or small winning combination 3). Internally won). Therefore, it can be said that the BB gaming state is a more advantageous gaming state than the normal gaming state.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, when a predetermined number or more (for example, 324 or more) is paid out, the game shifts to the re-game low probability state.

In addition, "special role 1" and "special role 2" are special roles in which the BB game, which is a special game, is started by winning a prize. The "replay role" is a winning role (acting role) that allows a player to play a game without inserting a medal in the next game by winning a prize, and no medal is paid out. A "small role" is a winning role in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out by winning a prize. Further, the internal winning probability of each winning combination is the range of the random number values acquired at the time of the internal lottery by extracting the numerical data corresponding to the range of the lottery data associated with each winning combination from the lottery data prepared in the ROM 306. It is obtained by dividing by numerical data (for example, 65535). The lottery data is divided into several numerical ranges in advance, and each numerical range is associated with each combination or loss. It is determined which combination the random number value obtained as a result of executing the internal lottery corresponds to the lottery data, and the internal lottery combination is determined. The lottery data is prepared with settings 1 to 6 having different winning probabilities for at least one combination, and a game store clerk or the like can arbitrarily select and set any of the set values.

Further, in the re-game low probability state and the special role 1 or special role 2 internal winning state, the total number of medals to be acquired is less than the total number of inserted medals. Therefore, it is a gaming state that is disadvantageous to the player. Further, the BB gaming state is set so as to be a gaming state that is profitable for the player. That is, the BB game state is a game state in which the total number of medals to be acquired exceeds the total number of medals inserted. In the present embodiment, the BB game state ends when a predetermined number of payouts is paid out, and there is no transition of the game state during that period, but it is started by winning a special role 1 or a special role 2, and other A special gaming state (so-called RB gaming state, etc.) may be continuously and repeatedly executed. Further, the BB game state is a case where the BB general game excluding the RB game during the BB game is executed a predetermined number of times (for example, 30 times), or the number of times the RB game executed during the BB game is a predetermined number of times. It may be finished when (for example, 3 times) is reached.

<Game state of the first sub control unit>
Next, the transition of the gaming state (mode transition) of the first sub-control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. 9A. Note that FIG. 9A is a game state transition diagram of the first sub-control unit 400.

The gaming state of the first sub-control unit 400 of the slot machine 100 is roughly classified into two types, mode A (non-AT mode) and mode B (AT mode). Here, the mode B, that is, the AT (assist time) mode is an effect of notifying the stop operation method (operation timing or operation order of the stop operation) so as to bring an advantageous result to the player (hereinafter, operation procedure effect). The game state in which) is executed. That is, it can be said that the AT mode is a state in which a privilege for facilitating the acquisition of profits (medals) is given. In mode B (AT mode) of the present embodiment, when the push order bell is internally won, a stop operation (correct answer) for winning the internally won push order bell using the image of the effect image display device 157 is used. (Also called a stop operation) is notified. For example, when the bell 1 is internally won, the stop operation of setting the first stop reel to the left reel 110 is notified.

<Mode A (non-AT mode)>
Mode A (non-AT mode) is an initial state in which the slot machine 100 first shifts after the power is turned on or reset. In the present embodiment, when the AT lottery is won in the mode A, a predetermined number of AT games (30 games in the present embodiment) are given, and the first game or the next game or a few games after the AT lottery is won. The game state of the sub-control unit 400 shifts from mode A (non-AT mode) to mode B (AT mode).

<Mode B (AT mode)>
In mode B (AT mode), when the push order bell (small winning combination 4, 5, 6) is internally won, the stop operation for winning the internally won push order bell is notified. As a result, in the AT mode, it becomes easier to win the push order bell, and the player can win more medals.

In this mode B (AT mode), when the number of AT games is exhausted and the number of AT games becomes 0, the first sub-control unit 400 changes from mode B (AT mode) to mode A (non-AT mode). ).

As shown in FIG. 9B, the gaming state of the main control unit 300 and the gaming state of the first sub-control unit 400 are not linked, and are the transition time of the gaming state of the main control unit 300. The transition timings of the gaming states of the first sub-control unit 400 do not always match.

Further, in the present embodiment, the AT mode is set to one type, but a plurality of AT modes may be provided, and the notification content may be changed for each AT mode. A single game console can provide a variety of playability, which may not make the player bored. For example, when three types of AT modes are provided as shown in FIG. 9C, (1) In the AT1 mode, when the small winning combination 1 is internally won, the internally winning combination is notified and the small winning combination 4 is provided. If 5 or 6 is internally won, the correct answer stop operation is notified, and (2) In AT2 mode, if small wins 4, 5 or 6 are internally won, a lottery with a winning probability of 50% is performed and the winner is won. In this case, the correct stop operation may be notified, and (3) in the AT3 mode, when the small winning combination 4, 5 or 6 is internally won, the correct stop operation may be notified. As the AT mode, any one of the three AT modes may be selected by a lottery process.

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

The basic control of the game is mainly performed by the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300, and the CPU 304 repeatedly executes the main process of the main control unit shown in the figure unless a power failure or the like is detected.

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

In step S102, the game start process is executed. In the game start process, an error check regarding the medal overflow of the medal auxiliary storage case 240, an automatic activation accessory (SRB) setting, a bonus signal update, a specified number of medals setting, and a game start command indicating the start of one game are transmitted. Make preparations. In addition, when the re-game combination is internally won in the previous game, the number of medals inserted in the previous game is set as the number of medals inserted, and when the re-game combination is not internally won, the non-game state is set. Set the game idle timer to monitor the time.

In step S103, the medal insertion / start operation acceptance process is executed. In the medal insertion / start operation reception process, it is checked whether or not a medal has been inserted, and the winning line indicator lamp 120 is turned on according to the insertion of the medal. In addition, preparations are made for transmitting a medal insertion command indicating that a medal has been inserted to the first sub-control unit 400. If the player wins the re-game in the previous game, the process of inserting the same number of medals as the number of medals inserted in the previous game is performed, so that the player does not need to insert medals. Further, it is checked whether or not the start lever 135 has been operated, and if it is determined that the start operation has been performed, the number of inserted medals is determined and the start lever 135 is operated with respect to the first sub-control unit 400. Prepare to send a start lever reception command indicating that.

In step S104, the number of inserted medals is determined, and a valid winning line is determined.

In step S105, a random number generated by the random number generation circuit 316 is acquired.

In step S106, the winning combination internal lottery process is performed. In the winning combination internal lottery process, the winning combination lottery table stored in the ROM 306 is read according to the current gaming state, and an internal lottery is performed using this and the random number value acquired in step S105. As a result of the internal lottery, if any of the winning combinations (including the operating combination) is internally won, the condition device (flag) for the internally winning combination is activated (the flag of the winning combination is turned ON). Further, in step S106, preparations are made for transmitting an internal lottery command indicating the result of the winning combination internal lottery to the first sub-control unit 400. For example, when the replay is internally won, an internal lottery command indicating that the replay is internally won is prepared to be transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400, and the winning combination is won. If the result of the internal lottery is a loss (non-winning of the winning combination), an internal lottery command indicating the loss is prepared to be transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400.

In step S107, reel stop data is selected based on the internal lottery result in step S106.

In step S108, the rotation of all reels 110 to 112 is started. Further, in step S108, preparations are made for transmitting a reel rotation start command indicating that the reels 110 to 112 have started to rotate to the first sub-control unit 400.

In step S109, the reel stop control process is performed. In the reel stop control process, the stop buttons 137 to 139 can be accepted, and when any of the stop buttons is pressed, any of the reels 110 to 112 corresponding to the pressed stop button is selected in step S106. Stop based on the stop data. When all reels 110 to 112 are stopped, the process proceeds to step S110. In this step S109, for each stop operation, the stop button reception command for the stop buttons 137 to 139 that have been stopped (specifically, for the first stop operation, the stop button reception 1 command and the second stop operation). The stop button reception 2 command is sent to the first sub-control unit 400, and the stop button reception 3 command is sent to the first sub-control unit 400 for the third stop operation. Reel stop command related to the stop position (specifically, reel stop 1 command for the 1st stop reel, reel stop 2 command for the 2nd stop operation, reel stop for the 3rd stop operation 3 Command) is prepared to be transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400.

In step S110, the display determination process is performed. In the display determination process, when a pattern combination corresponding to any winning combination is displayed on the activated winning line 114, it is determined that the winning combination has been won. For example, if "watermelon symbol-watermelon symbol-watermelon symbol" is aligned on the activated winning line, it is determined that the watermelon has won a prize. Further, in step S110, preparations are made for transmitting a display determination command indicating the result of the winning determination to the first sub-control unit 400.

In step S111, the medal payout process is performed. In this medal payout process, if any winning combination with a payout is won, the number of medals corresponding to the winning combination is paid out.

In step S112, a game state control process is performed in which control for shifting the game state is performed. For example, in the case of a BB (Big Bonus) prize, prepare so that the BB game state can be started from the next time. Further, in step S112, preparations are made for transmitting a game state command indicating the game state. For example, when the game state is the BB game state, preparations are made to transmit a game information command indicating the BB game state.

With the above, one game is completed. After that, the game proceeds by returning to step S102 and repeating the above-described processing.

The various commands prepared in each of the above steps are transmitted in the command setting transmission process (step S1006 of FIG. 11) of the main control unit timer interrupt process described later.

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

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

In step S1001, the timer interrupt start process is performed. In this timer interrupt start process, a process of temporarily saving the value of each register of the CPU 304 to the stack area is performed.

In step S1002, the WDT is periodically (this) so that the count value of the WDT 314 does not exceed the initial setting value (32.8 ms in this embodiment) and the WDT interrupt does not occur (so as not to detect an abnormality in the process). In the embodiment, the restart is performed once every 1.5 ms, which is the cycle of interrupting the main control unit timer.

In step S1003, the input port state update process is performed. In this input port state update process, the detection signals of the sensor circuits 320 of the various sensors 318 are input via the input port of the I / O 310 to monitor the presence or absence of the detection signals, and the RAM 308 is monitored by the various sensors 318 (for example, opening / closing the door). It is stored in the signal state storage area provided separately for each sensor, setting key switch sensor, reset switch sensor, first medal detection sensor 760, second medal detection sensor 790, etc.).

In step S1004, various game processes are performed. Specifically, the interrupt status is acquired (various interrupt statuses are acquired based on the signals from the various sensors 318), and processing is performed according to this status. For example, if the interrupt status is in the medal insertion process, the medal insertion acceptance process is performed, and if the interrupt status is the payout process, the medal payout process is performed.

In step S1005, the timer update process is performed. Various timers are updated in each time unit.

In step S1006, the command setting transmission process is performed, and various commands are transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400. The output schedule information to be transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400 is composed of 16 bits in this embodiment, and the bits 15 are strobe information (when it is on, it indicates that data is set) and bits 11. ~ 14 are command types (in this embodiment, a basic command, a start lever reception command, an internal lottery command, a rotation start command accompanying the start of rotation of the reels 110 to 112, and a stop button accompanying the reception of operations of the stop buttons 137 to 139. Reception commands, stop position information commands associated with the stop processing of reels 110 to 112, payout number commands and payout end commands associated with medal payout processing, etc.), bits 0 to 10 are command data (predetermined information corresponding to the command type). It is configured.

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

In step S1007, external signal output processing is performed. In this external signal output processing, the game information stored in the RAM 308 is output to the information input circuit 652, which is separate from the slot machine 100, via the information output circuit 334.

In step S1008, device monitoring processing is performed. In this device monitoring process, first, in step S1003, the signal states of the various sensors 318 stored in the signal state storage area are read out, the presence or absence of errors related to medal insertion abnormality, medal payout abnormality, etc. is monitored, and when an error is detected, Performs error handling. Further, the medal selector 700 (medal blocker in which the solenoid provided in the medal selector 700 operates), various lamps 338, and various 7-segment (SEG) displays are set according to the current gaming state.

In step S1009, it is monitored whether or not the low voltage signal is on. Then, when the low voltage signal is on (when the power cutoff is detected), the process proceeds to step S1011, and when the low voltage signal is off (when the power supply cutoff is not detected), the process proceeds to step S1010.

In step S1010, various processes for terminating the timer interrupt end process are performed. In this timer interrupt end processing, the value of each register temporarily saved in step S1001 is set in each of the original registers. After that, the process returns to the main processing of the main control unit shown in FIG.

On the other hand, in step S1011, a specific variable or stack pointer for returning to the state at the time of power failure at the time of power recovery is saved as recovery data in a predetermined area of the RAM 308, and power failure processing such as input / output port initialization is performed. After that, the process returns to the main processing of the main control unit shown in FIG.

<Processing of the first sub-control unit 400>
The processing of the first sub-control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. Note that FIG. 3A is a flowchart of the main process executed by the CPU 404 of the first sub-control unit 400. FIG. 3B is a flowchart of a command reception interrupt process of the first sub-control unit 400, and FIG. 3C is a flowchart of a timer interrupt process of the first sub-control unit 400.

When the power is turned on, first, the initial setting is executed in step S2001. In this initial setting, the initial setting of the input / output port, the initialization process of the storage area in the RAM 408, and the like are performed.

In step S2002, it is determined whether or not the timer variable is 10 or more, and this process is repeated until the timer variable becomes 10, and when the timer variable becomes 10 or more, the process proceeds to step S2003.

In step S2003, 0 is assigned to the timer variable.

In step S2004, the command processing of the first sub-control unit is performed. In the first sub-control unit command processing, it is determined whether or not a command has been received from the main control unit 300.

In step S2005, an effect control process (detailed later) is performed. For example, when there is a new command in step S2004, the process corresponding to this command is performed. The processing corresponding to this command is, for example, processing such as reading the production data from the ROM 406, or when the production data needs to be updated, of each production device (speaker, lamp, liquid crystal display device, shutter, etc.). It includes updating the production data.

In step S2006, sound control processing is performed. In the sound control process, if there is a command to the sound source IC 418 in the effect data read in step S2005, this command is output to the sound source IC 418.

In step S2007, a lamp control process is performed. In the lamp control process, if there is an instruction to the various lamps 420 in the effect data read in step S2005, this instruction is output to the drive circuit 422.

In step S2008, information output processing is performed. In the information output process, if there is a control command to be transmitted to the second sub-control unit 500 in the effect data read in step S2005, the setting to output this control command is made, and the process returns to step S2002. As a result, the set control command is transmitted to the second sub-control unit 500.

Next, the command reception interrupt process of the first sub-control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. This command reception interrupt process is a process executed when the first sub-control unit 400 detects a strobe signal output by the main control unit 300. In step S2101 of the command reception interrupt process, the command output by the main control unit 300 is stored as an unprocessed command in the command storage area provided in the RAM 408.

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

In step S2201, 1 is added to the value of the timer variable storage area of the RAM 408 described in step S2002 in the first sub-control unit main process shown in FIG. Therefore, in step S2002, the value of the timer variable is determined to be 10 or more every 20 ms (2 ms × 10).

In step S2202, various update processes such as update process of the random value for effect are performed.

<Processing of the second sub control unit>
The processing of the second sub-control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. Note that FIG. 3A is a flowchart of the main process executed by the CPU 504 of the second sub-control unit 500. FIG. 3B is a flowchart of the command reception interrupt process of the second sub-control unit 500. FIG. 3C is a flowchart of the timer interrupt process of the second sub-control unit 500. FIG. 3D is a flowchart of the image control process of the second sub control unit 500.

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

When the power is turned on, the initialization process is first executed in S3001. In this initialization process, the input / output port initial setting, the initialization process of the storage area in the RAM 508, and the like are performed.

In step S3002, it is determined whether or not the timer variable is 10 or more, and this process is repeated until the timer variable becomes 10, and when the timer variable becomes 10 or more, the process proceeds to step S3003.

In step S3003, 0 is assigned to the timer variable.

In step S3004, command processing is performed. The CPU 504 of the second sub-control unit 500 determines whether or not a command has been received from the CPU 404 of the first sub-control unit 400.

In step S3005, the effect control process (detailed later) is performed. For example, when there is a new command in step S3004, processing such as reading the production data corresponding to this command from ROM 506 is performed, and when the production data needs to be updated, the production data is updated.

In step S3006, if there is a shutter control command in the effect data read in step S3005, the shutter control corresponding to this command is performed.

In step S3007, if there is an image control command in the effect data read in step S3005, image control corresponding to this command is performed (details will be described later), and the process returns to step S3002.

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

In step S3101 of the command reception interrupt process, the command output by the first sub-control unit 400 is stored as an unprocessed command in the command storage area provided in the RAM 508.

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

In step S3201, 1 is added to the value of the timer variable storage area of the RAM 508 described in step S3002 in the second sub-control unit main process shown in FIG.

In step S3202, various update processes and the like for updating the effect random value and the like are performed.

Next, the image control process of the second sub-control unit 500 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3D is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the image control process in step S3007 of FIG.

In step S3301, the image data transfer instruction is given. Here, the CPU 504 first swaps the designation of the display area A of the VRAM 536 and the drawing area of the display area B. As a result, the one-frame image stored in the display area not designated as the drawing area is displayed on the effect image display device 157. Next, the CPU 504 sets the ROM coordinates (transfer source address of ROM 506), VRAM coordinates (transfer destination address of VRAM 536), etc. in the attribute register of VDP 534 based on the position information table, and then the image from ROM 506 to VRAM 536. Set the command to instruct the start of data transfer. The VDP 534 transfers the image data from the ROM 506 to the VRAM 536 based on the instruction set in the attribute register. After that, the VDP 534 outputs a transfer end interrupt signal to the CPU 504.

In step S3302, it is determined whether or not the transfer end interrupt signal from the VDP 534 has been input. If the transfer end interrupt signal is input, the process proceeds to step S3303. If not, the transfer end interrupt signal is input. Wait for it.

In step S3303, parameters are set based on the effect scenario configuration table, attribute data, and the like. Here, in order to form a display image in the display area A or B of the VRAM 536 based on the image data transferred to the VRAM 536 in step S3301, the CPU 504 forms image data information (coordinate axes of the VRAM 536, image size) that constitutes the display image. , VRAM coordinates (arrangement coordinates), etc.) are instructed to VDP534. The VDP 534 sets parameters according to the attributes based on the instructions stored in the attribute registers.

In step S3304, a drawing instruction is given. In this drawing instruction, the CPU 504 instructs the VDP 534 to start drawing an image. The VDP 534 starts drawing an image in the frame buffer according to the instruction of the CPU 504.

In step S3305, it is determined whether or not the generation end interrupt signal from the VDP 534 is input based on the end of drawing the image. If the generation end interrupt signal is input, the process proceeds to step S3306. If not, the generation end interrupt signal is generated. Wait for to be entered.

In step S3306, the scene display counter, which is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 508 and counts how many scenes of images are generated, is incremented (+1) to end the process.

<Direction>
Here, the effect executed by the first sub-control unit 400 and the second sub-control unit 500 described above will be specifically described. Since the present embodiment is characterized by the main lottery result production and the sub lottery result production, these two productions will be described below.

<Main lottery result production>
First, the main lottery result production will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 to 17. 14 (a) is a timing chart showing the execution time of the main lottery result effect, FIG. 14 (b) is a diagram showing the contents of the selection lottery table of the main lottery result effect, and FIGS. 15 to 17 are. , It is a figure which shows the production mode of the main lottery result production.

The main lottery result effect is an image effect using the liquid crystal display device 157, and is an effect suggesting a result determined by the main control unit 300. In the present embodiment, the main lottery result effect will be described as an effect that suggests the result of the winning combination internal lottery process executed by the main control unit 300. In the present embodiment, when the condition for executing the main lottery result effect is satisfied (for details, (1) when the lottery for executing the main lottery result effect described later is won, or (2) the sub lottery result effect described later is executed. As shown in FIG. 14A, the main lottery result production is started from t1 when the start lever 135 is operated (when the winning combination internal lottery process is executed) t1. The main lottery result effect of the present embodiment is roughly divided into a first effect mode in which a large image is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 157 and a second effect mode in which a small image is displayed. The first effect mode is an effect mode when the main lottery result effect is executed independently, and the second effect mode is an effect mode when the main lottery result effect is executed together with the sub lottery result effect described later.

15 to 17 are image examples showing the first effect mode of the main lottery result effect. That is, FIGS. 15 to 17 show an example of an image displayed on the liquid crystal display device 157 when the main lottery result effect is executed independently.

More specifically, each of FIGS. 15A to 15D shows a first effect mode when the small winning combination 2 (watermelon) is internally won in the winning combination internal lottery process. The effect S1 shown in FIG. 15A is an effect in which the character's clothes, which were initially displayed in white, change to green. Specifically, the character displayed in white appears (0.5 seconds), and then the character's clothes change to green. That is, in the effect S1, the green color is not displayed immediately after the start of the effect, but the green color is displayed after a predetermined period (0.5 seconds) has elapsed after the start of the effect. Since the green color is reminiscent of the color of the design of the small role 2 (watermelon), the player can guess the watermelon winning from the green color. That is, the color of the character's clothes is an image (hereinafter referred to as a winning combination suggestion image) P10 suggesting an internally won combination. The effect S2 shown in FIG. 15B is an effect of displaying a group of characters. Since the group is recognized as showing an infrequently won role (watermelon or cherry) as a convention in the gaming industry, the player can infer a watermelon (or cherry) win from the group. That is, the image of the character group is the winning combination suggestion image P10. The effect S3 shown in FIG. 15 (c) is an effect of displaying one of the symbol combinations corresponding to the small winning combination 2 (watermelon), and FIG. 15 (d) corresponds to the small winning combination 2 (watermelon). It is an effect of displaying a combination of symbols. Since the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination 2 (watermelon) or a part of the display causes the player to guess the watermelon winning, the symbol combination corresponding to the combination or a part of the image is shown in the winning combination suggestion image P10. is there. In the present embodiment, when the main lottery result effect suggesting that the watermelon has been internally won is executed in the first effect mode, the selection lottery A shown in FIG. 14B is performed, and the above-mentioned effects S1 to S4 are performed. Any one of the effects including the above is determined, and the determined effect is executed. For example, when the effect S1 is selected by the selection lottery A, the effect S1 is executed as the main lottery result effect. In addition, when a missed role such as a small role 2 (watermelon) is won, a role specifying effect that can identify the internally won combination (for example, FIG. 15 (d); an effect of displaying the winning combination confirmed image P11 described later). If only) is executed, it may be clear to the players other than the player who is familiar with the operation that the operation error has been made, which may result in discouraging the motivation to proceed with the game. Therefore, it is advisable to execute an effect (for example, FIG. 15B) that suggests the winning of a winning combination including the winning combination that is appropriately internally won. As described above, the design of the small role 2 (watermelon) is a design having a green color scheme that can be recognized as not red, peach, blue, or yellow, which are colors reminiscent of other roles. The image (green) reminiscent of this pattern does not limit a specific color on the color wheel chart, for example, and the color scheme is such that a player sitting at a position approximately 50 cm away from the game table can recognize it as green. Indicates the color scheme.

Similarly, each of FIGS. 16A to 16B shows a first effect mode when the small winning combination 1 (cherry) is internally won in the winning combination internal lottery process, and FIG. 17A shows the first effect mode. Each of (c) shows the first effect mode when the small winning combination 3 (bell) is internally won in the winning combination internal lottery process. The effect C1 shown in FIG. 16A is an effect in which the character's clothes initially displayed in white change to red, and the effect B1 shown in FIG. 17A is initially displayed in white. This is a production in which the character's clothes turn yellow. Specifically, FIG. 16A is an effect in which a character displayed in white appears (0.5 seconds), and then the character's clothes change to red. That is, in the effect C1, the red color is not displayed immediately after the start of the effect, but the red color is displayed after a predetermined period (0.5 seconds) has elapsed after the start of the effect. Specifically, FIG. 17A is an effect in which a character displayed in white appears (0.5 seconds), and then the character's clothes change to yellow. That is, in the effect B1, the yellow color is not displayed immediately after the start of the effect, but the yellow color is displayed after a predetermined period (0.5 seconds) has elapsed after the start of the effect. The appearance (0.5 seconds) of the characters displayed in white in FIGS. 15 (a), 16 (a), and 17 (a) is a common display and is a predetermined period (0.5 seconds). Until the passage of time, it changes to green, red, or yellow, or it is difficult to judge, but by setting the start time of the production as the time when the internal lottery is executed, the player is made to guess the internal lottery. It can be recognized that the production has started. Since red is reminiscent of the color of the pattern of the small role 1 (cherry) and yellow is reminiscent of the color of the pattern of the small role 3 (bell), the player can infer the winning of the cherry or the winning of the bell from the color of the clothes. That is, the color of the character's clothes is the winning combination suggestion image P10. Further, the effect C2 shown in FIG. 16B is an effect of displaying one symbol of the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination 1 (cherry), and the effect B2 shown in FIG. 17B is the effect 3 (bell). ) Is an effect of displaying one symbol of the symbol combination corresponding to), and FIG. 17 (c) is an effect of displaying the symbol combination corresponding to the small winning combination 3 (bell). Since the symbol combination corresponding to the combination or the display of a part thereof causes the player to guess the internal winning of the combination, the symbol combination corresponding to the combination or a part of the image is the winning combination suggestion image P10. When the main lottery result effect suggesting that the cherry has been internally won is executed in the first effect mode, the selection lottery A shown in FIG. 14B is performed to perform the above-mentioned effects C1 to C2. One of the multiple productions including the production is determined and the determined production is executed, and the main lottery result production suggesting that the bell has been internally elected is executed in the first production mode. In this case, the selection lottery A shown in FIG. 14B is performed, one of the plurality of effects including the above-mentioned effects B1 to B3 is determined, and the determined effect is executed. is there. As described above, the design of the small role 1 (cherry) is a design having a red color scheme that can be recognized as not being peach, blue, green, or yellow, which are colors reminiscent of other roles. The image (red) reminiscent of this pattern does not limit a specific color on the color wheel chart, for example, and the color scheme is such that a player sitting in a seat approximately 50 cm away from the game table can recognize it as red. Indicates the color scheme. The same applies to the image (yellow) reminiscent of the design of the small role 3 (bell).

By the way, in the above-mentioned winning combination suggestion image P10, the combination of symbols of the combination or a part of the image directly shows the winning combination itself, and the winning combination can be reliably specified. It is also referred to as a combination confirmed image P11. In FIGS. 15 to 17, the images of the effects S3, S4, C2, B2 and B3 are the winning combination confirmation images P11. Details will be described later in <When the execution times of the main lottery result production and the sub lottery result production overlap>, but in the present embodiment, when the main lottery result production is executed in the second production mode, The winning combination confirmation image P11 is used.

<Sub-lottery result production>
Next, the sub-lottery result production will be described with reference to FIGS. 18 to 19. FIG. 18A is a timing chart showing the execution time of the sub-lottery result effect, FIG. 18B is a diagram showing the effect mode of the sub-lottery result effect, and FIG. 19A is a sub-lottery. It is a table which shows the effect color of a result effect, and FIG. 19 (b) is a figure which shows the content of the execution lottery table of a sub lottery result effect.

The sub-lottery result effect is an image effect using the liquid crystal display device 157, and is an effect suggesting a result determined by the first sub-control unit 400. In the present embodiment, the sub-lottery result effect will be described as an effect that suggests the result of the AT lottery executed by the first sub-control unit 400. In the present embodiment, when the conditions for executing the sub lottery result production are satisfied (for details, (1) when the AT lottery is won, or (2) the AT lottery is not won, but the sub lottery result production described later is performed. (When the execution lottery B is won), the execution of the sub-lottery result production is started from the time t2 determined by the execution time lottery. The time point t2 is a predetermined time during one game, for example, when the start lever is operated or when the third stop operation is performed.

Here, the start lever operation time and the third stop operation time mean, more specifically, when the first sub control unit 400 receives the start lever reception command and the stop button reception 3 command from the main control unit 300. .. Of course, since the time point t2 may be a predetermined time during one game, the trigger for starting the execution of the sub lottery result effect is not limited to the time when the command transmitted from the main control unit 300 is received, and the first sub The control unit 400 itself may determine the execution start time of the sub lottery result effect. For example, even if the start lever reception command is received, if there is an effect currently being executed, the sub lottery result effect is not executed until the effect being executed is completed, and it is determined that the effect being executed is completed. Occasionally, the sub-lottery result effect may be started to be executed. Further, for example, the time until the start of execution of the sub lottery result effect may be determined, and the execution of the sub lottery result effect may be started when it is determined that this time has elapsed.

In the sub-lottery result production, as shown in FIG. 18B, a predetermined character image (for example, a character image such as intense heat in an image having a white background color) C10 is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 157. This is an effect to be displayed, and the predetermined character image C10 is roughly divided into a character edge area C11 and a character edge area C12. In the present embodiment, the inner edge region C11 is colored black, and the edge region C12 is colored with a predetermined color (any of red, green, yellow, and white) shown in FIG. 19 (a). Here, the color of the edge region C12 is a color that suggests the result of the AT lottery, and as shown in FIG. 19A, the high and low expectations are set in the order of red, green, yellow, and white. ing. Specifically, this expectation is based on the result of the AT lottery (winning, non-winning) and, if the AT lottery is won, the expectation for the time when the AT mode starts (immediately, several games ahead, etc.). Yes, in the present embodiment, when the sub lottery result effect having the red character image C10 is executed (hereinafter, also referred to as the red sub lottery result effect), the white sub lottery result effect is performed as compared with the case where the white sub lottery result effect is executed. There is a high possibility that the AT lottery will be won, and there is also a high possibility that the AT mode will be started immediately. At this time, red, green, yellow, and white do not refer to colors that limit a specific color on the color wheel chart, for example, and are viewed from a player who sits at a position approximately 50 cm away from the game table. The colors are arranged so that they can be recognized as red, green, yellow, and white. For example, even if it can be recognized as red, red (R255, G0, B0) is not actually used, and colors close to red (each RGB color is changed within a range of ± 80%). Color) may be used, and although red (R255, G0, B0) is actually used only a few percent of the total color, it can be recognized as red by combining with other color schemes. It may be a thing. The color may be set stepwise according to the production motif. For example, if there is a treasure at the bottom of the deep sea and it is directed until it reaches the treasure, it will develop into a production that reaches the treasure in the order of gradually darkening the blue color (white, light blue, blue, dark blue). It may be easier. A plurality of colors may be displayed at one time. For example, taking the color of FIG. 19A as an example, the expectation is between the expectation when red and green are displayed at one time and red is displayed and the expectation when green is displayed. It may be shown that. This may be able to express many stages, and the player may have a sense of expectation according to the situation.

In addition, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 19B, two execution lottery tables are provided, and using these two execution lottery tables, whether or not to execute the sub lottery result effect and when to execute it The production mode is determined. The execution lottery A is a lottery process that is executed when the AT lottery is won, and in this case, the sub lottery result production is always executed. In the execution lottery A, as shown in FIG. 19B, the probability that the red sub-lottery result effect is selected is 6/10, the probability that the green sub-lottery result effect is selected is 3/10, and the yellow color. The probability that the sub lottery result effect will be selected is 1/10. That is, the probability that the red sub-lottery result production with the highest expectation is selected is the highest. On the other hand, the execution lottery B is a lottery process with a loss, which is executed when the AT lottery is not won. In this case, the sub lottery result production is executed only when the execution lottery B is won. .. In the execution lottery B, as shown in FIG. 19B, the probability that the yellow sub-lottery result effect is selected is 1/10, the probability that the white sub-lottery result effect is selected is 3/10, and there is a loss. The probability of being selected is 6/10. That is, the probability of losing is the highest, and even if the player wins, the yellow or white sub-lottery result production with low expectation will be executed.

In addition, when producing a sense of expectation with colors, it is possible to set a color that is not related to the winning combination, but the player intuitively gives a sense of expectation by using a color that has not been adopted in the past game consoles. Since it is difficult to compose an effect that can be judged, it is preferable to use a color that has been used in past game consoles, that is, red or yellow (a color that is less expected than red).

In the following, the sub-lottery result effect that is executed when the AT lottery is won is called the true sub-lottery result effect, and the sub-lottery result effect that is executed when the AT lottery is not won is false. ) Sub-lottery result production.

<When the execution time of the main lottery result production and the sub lottery result production overlap>
Next, a case where the execution times of the main lottery result effect and the sub lottery result effect overlap with each other will be described with reference to FIGS. 20 to 21. 20 (a) is a timing chart showing the execution time of each effect when the execution time of the main lottery result effect and the sub lottery result effect overlap, and FIGS. 20 (b) and 21 (a) are main. It is a figure which shows the production mode of each effect when the execution time of the lottery result effect and the execution time of the sub lottery result effect overlap, and FIG. 21B is the case where the execution time of the main lottery result effect and the sub lottery result effect overlap. It is a figure explaining the display area of each effect of.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the main lottery result effect is executed from t1 when the start lever is operated, and the sub lottery result effect is executed from t2 when the execution time is determined by the lottery. Since the time point t2 also includes the time when the start lever is operated, there is a possibility that the execution times of the main lottery result effect and the sub lottery result effect overlap in the present embodiment. That is, as shown in FIG. 20A, both the main lottery result effect and the sub lottery result effect may be started from the time t1 when the start lever 135 is operated.

In such a case, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 20B, both the main lottery result effect and the sub lottery result effect are executed on the same screen of the liquid crystal display device 157. The character image of the sub lottery result effect is displayed in the entire display area of the liquid crystal display device 157, and the character image of the main lottery result effect is overwritten in front of the character image of the sub lottery result effect. The display mode of the character image of the sub lottery result effect is not changed depending on whether the character image of the main lottery result effect is displayed or the character image of the main lottery result effect is not displayed. More specifically, the character image C10 of the sub lottery result effect is displayed large in the center of the screen of the liquid crystal display device 157, and the winning combination suggestion image P10 of the main lottery result effect is displayed small in the lower right corner of the screen of the liquid crystal display device 157. That is, the effect image of the second effect mode of the main lottery result effect is displayed by reducing the effect image of the first effect mode to a small size. In this way, when the main lottery result effect and the sub lottery result effect are executed at the same time, the display position and size of the character image C10 of the sub lottery result effect are changed as compared with the case where each effect is executed independently. However, the display position and size of the winning combination suggestion image P10 of the main lottery result production will be changed. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 21B, the sub lottery result effect is an image effect displayed in the area A10 of the entire screen, but the character image C10, which is a main part of the sub lottery result effect, is It is displayed in the area A20 in the center of the screen. Further, the winning combination suggestion image P10 of the main lottery result effect is displayed in the area A30 at the lower right of the screen. As shown in FIG. 21B, since the area A20 and the area A30 do not overlap, even if the main lottery result effect and the sub lottery result effect are executed at the same time, the character image C10 and the winning combination suggestion image P10 overlap. There is no such thing, and the player can visually recognize the two production images at the same time.

Here, the winning combination suggestion image P10 of the main lottery result production when the main lottery result production and the sub lottery result production are executed at the same time will be described in detail. The winning combination suggestion image P10 is shown in FIG. 14 (b). It is a production image of the production selected by the selection lottery B. Further, this effect image is a winning combination confirmation image P11 that can surely identify the winning combination. In the present embodiment, when the watermelon is internally won, the effect S4 is used, and when the cherry is internally won. When the bell is internally won, the winning combination confirmation image P11, which is a small production image of the production B3, is displayed on the screen. If no winning combination is internally won in the winning combination internal lottery process (in the case of loss), as shown in FIG. 21A, a character that can reliably identify the loss. An image (for example, a character image such as "no internal winning combination") is displayed as a winning combination confirmed image P11.

When the execution times of the main lottery result effect and the sub lottery result effect overlap, the effect image of the main lottery result effect is limited to the winning combination confirmed image P11 for the following reasons. In the present embodiment, the color (red, green, yellow, white) of the edge region C12 of the character image C10 displayed in the sub lottery result effect and the color indicated by the winning combination suggestion image P10 displayed in the main lottery result effect (red, green, yellow, white). For example, green in the case of watermelon winning, red in the case of cherry winning, yellow in the case of bell winning, etc.) overlap. That is, since at least one of the plurality of colors used in the sub lottery result production is also used in the main lottery result production, if the main lottery result production and the sub lottery result production are executed at the same time, the player is confused. Then, there is a possibility that the internal winner will be misidentified based on the color of the sub lottery result production. More specifically, the main lottery result effect is an effect that suggests the result of the winning combination internal lottery process executed by the main control unit 300, and the sub lottery result effect is an AT lottery executed by the first sub control unit 400. This is an effect that suggests the result of the above, and is not an effect determined based on the result of the winning combination internal lottery process executed in this game, but an effect determined based on the lottery result in the first sub-control unit 400. Is. Therefore, for example, even when the yellow sub-lottery result effect is executed, the result of the winning combination internal lottery process may be the small combination 2 (watermelon) instead of the small combination 3 (bell). In such a case, the player may misidentify the winning of the bell, and may perform an erroneous stop operation based on the erroneous recognition. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when there is a possibility that such a misidentification may occur, the effect image of the main lottery result effect is set to the winning combination confirmation image P11 that can surely identify the winning combination. We try not to raise any doubts about the internal winners who are recognized by the person. It should be noted that the possibility of misidentifying the internal winning combination occurs not only when the internal winning combination is internally won, but also when the winning combination is lost. Therefore, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 21A, even when the winning combination is lost. It was decided to display the winning combination confirmation image P11.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the main lottery result effect and the sub lottery result effect are executed at the same time, the main lottery result effect is performed without changing the display position and size of the character image C10 displayed in the sub lottery result effect. This was supported by changing the image content, display position, and size of the production image. This is due to the following reasons. The character image C10 is displayed even when the main lottery result effect and the sub lottery result effect are not executed at the same time, whereas the winning combination confirmation image P11 is displayed when the main lottery result effect and the sub lottery result effect are executed at the same time. Is only displayed. Therefore, it was determined based on the lottery result in the first sub-control unit 400 that the character image C10 is displayed large in the area A20 in the center of the screen and the winning combination confirmation image P11 is displayed small in the area A30 at the lower right of the screen. The player is made to easily recognize that the effect is being executed, and is also easily recognized that the effect suggesting the result of the winning combination internal lottery process executed in the main control unit 300 is additionally executed. be able to. On the other hand, on the contrary, for example, the character image C10 displayed in the sub lottery result effect is displayed in the area A30 at the lower right of the screen, and the image displayed in the main lottery result effect is displayed in the area A20 in the center of the screen. In that case, there is a possibility that the player will recognize that only the main lottery result effect has been executed. This is because the character image such as intense heat may be recognized as a part of the main lottery result effect due to the change in the mode of the sub lottery result effect. Furthermore, since the sub-lottery result production does not directly represent the result, if the display position or the like is changed, there arises a problem that it becomes difficult to have the expected feeling planned at the time of design. There is a risk. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the main lottery result effect and the sub lottery result effect are executed at the same time, the main lottery result effect is performed without changing the display position and size of the character image C10 displayed in the sub lottery result effect. This was supported by changing the image content, display position, and size of the production image.

The case where the main lottery result production and the sub lottery result production are executed at the same time has been described above, but the “simultaneous” in the present embodiment is required to have a degree of simultaneity that the player can recognize as simultaneous. , Almost at the same time is included. For example, even if the main lottery result effect is started first and then the sub lottery result effect is executed, the difference is included at the same time as long as the difference is such that the player recognizes it at the same time. Specifically, if the difference between the execution start time of the main lottery result production and the sub lottery result production is within about 200 msec, it can be regarded as simultaneous.

For example, when the first sub-control unit 400 first executes the sub-lottery result effect and then executes the main lottery result effect in response to a command received from the main control unit 300, after executing the sub-lottery result effect. Since time (for example, about 200 msec) is spent preparing the main lottery result production, the start of execution of the production is delayed by this preparation time. However, if the execution triggers are the same (for example, the same conditions are set to execute both effects when the operation of the start lever 135 is received), the time spent on preparation is the game. It is a time within the range that a person can recognize that they started at the same time, and can be regarded as simultaneous. As an example of the difference in execution start time, it is set to within about 200 msec, but it is not that all the things exceeding this time are not simultaneous, and if the execution triggers are the same, it may be regarded as simultaneous. Here, one criterion for whether or not the execution triggers are the same depends on whether or not the execution start time of the two effects is before the next operation. For example, in the case where there is a first operation by the player and then a next second operation by the player, the first effect performed when the first operation is performed and the first The second effect, which is executed after the operation and before the second operation, can all have the same execution trigger as if the first operation was triggered. However, for example, if there is a time of about 1 sec as a difference in the execution start time, the player may recognize that the execution is started at another execution trigger, so that it cannot be regarded as simultaneous.

Further, when at least one color among the plurality of colors used in the sub lottery result production is also used in the main lottery result production, that is, at least one color among the plurality of colors used in the sub lottery result production. When there is an overlap of colors suggesting an internal winning combination, the winning combination confirmation image P11 is displayed in order to eliminate the misidentification of the internal winning combination. However, the "color overlap" in the present embodiment means Not only when both are the same color, but also similar colors are included. This is because even if the two colors are similar, the player may misidentify the internal winner. As described above, at least one of the plurality of colors used in the sub-lottery result production and the color suggesting the internal winning combination sit at a position approximately 50 cm away from the game table. From the player's point of view, it is sufficient if the colors are arranged so that they can be recognized as red, peach, green, yellow, and white. is there.

In the present embodiment, when the main lottery result effect and the sub lottery result effect are executed at the same time, only the image effect is described, but at the same time, even in the sound effect, even if the effect of eliminating the misidentification of the internal winning combination is executed. Good. For example, when the watermelon is internally won in the winning combination internal lottery process, the sound of "watermelon winning" may be output from the speakers 272 and 277 in the main lottery result production. Further, when the main lottery result effect and the sub lottery result effect are executed at the same time, the image effect may not be executed in the main lottery result effect, but only the sound effect may be executed. This is because there are cases where the internal winner can be accurately grasped only by voice.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the main lottery result effect and the sub lottery result effect are executed at the same time, the winning combination confirmed image P11 is displayed as the main lottery result effect. Since it is not possible to reliably identify the internal winning combination for "winning a role" or "winning a small role" (when there are multiple bonus roles, "winning a bonus role" determines which bonus role is won. Is difficult, and when there are multiple small wins, it is difficult to judge whether or not the small wins that are out of alignment are won in "small wins"), which is inappropriate. For example, when the color selected in the sub-lottery result production is yellow, the internal winning combination is small winning combination 2 (watermelon) or small winning combination 3 (watermelon) even though the internal winning combination is only small winning combination 2 (watermelon). When an effect suggesting that it is a bell) is executed, a match occurs between the color selected in the sub-lottery result effect (yellow) and the color meant by the notified internal winner (bell). If there is such a match, the expectation for the production may be impaired. Therefore, in principle, it is not preferable to perform the production so that the winning combination cannot be surely identified. However, there are cases where the color selected in the sub-lottery result production and the color indicated by the notified internal winning combination (bell) do not match, and an production that can reliably identify the internally winning combination is executed. The playability may be a mixture of a case where an effect in which the internally winning combination cannot be surely specified and a case where the effect cannot be surely specified. If it can be sufficiently recognized that what is displayed in the area A30 at the lower right of the screen is an effect suggesting the result of the winning combination internal lottery process executed by the main control unit 300, the internally winning combination is selected. This is because even if it cannot be specified with certainty, the player may be able to correctly recognize the content of the effect without being confused, and it may be possible to prevent an operation error.

<Production control processing>
Based on the characteristics of the main lottery result effect and the sub lottery result effect described above, the effect control process will be described in more detail. FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the effect control process in step S2005 of FIG. 12 (a).

In step S2301, the sub-lottery result effect setting process (detailed later) related to the setting of the sub-lottery result effect is executed.

In step S2302, the main lottery result effect setting process (detailed later) related to the setting of the main lottery result effect is executed.

In step S2303, other effect control processing is executed.

<Sub lottery result production setting process>
Next, the sub-lottery result effect setting process will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 23. Note that FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the sub-lottery result effect setting process in step S2301 of FIG. 22.

In step S2401, it is determined whether or not the gaming state of the first sub-control unit 400 is the AT mode. If the game state of the first sub-control unit 400 is the AT mode, the sub-lottery result effect setting process is ended, and if not, the process proceeds to step S2402.

In step S2402, it is determined whether or not the sub lottery result effect is currently being executed. If the sub lottery result effect is being executed, the sub lottery result effect setting process is ended, and if not, the process proceeds to step S2403.

In step S2403, it is determined whether or not there is an execution reservation for the sub lottery result effect. If there is an execution reservation for the sub-lottery result effect, the process proceeds to step 2404, and if not, the process proceeds to step S2406.

In step S2404, it is determined whether or not it is time to execute the sub lottery result effect. If it is time to execute the sub-lottery result effect, the process proceeds to step S2405, and if not, the sub-lottery result effect setting process ends.

In step S2405, since the present time is the execution time of the sub lottery result effect, the sub lottery result effect reserved for execution is executed. For example, if the execution time of the sub lottery result effect is when the start lever is operated, the execution of the sub lottery result effect is started when the start lever is operated.

In step S2406, the AT lottery is executed, and then in step S2407, it is determined whether or not the AT lottery has been won. If the AT lottery is won, the process proceeds to step S2408, and if not, the process proceeds to step S2409.

In step S2408, since the AT lottery was won, the execution lottery A for the sub-lottery result effect is executed (see FIG. 19B). As described above, the execution lottery A is a lottery process without losing, so that the sub lottery result production (true sub lottery result production) is always executed.

On the other hand, in step S2409, since the AT lottery was not won, the execution lottery B of the sub lottery result production was executed (see FIG. 19B), and then in step S2410, whether or not the execution lottery B was won. To judge. As described above, the execution lottery B is a lottery process with a loss. If the execution lottery B is won, the process proceeds to step S2410, and if not, the sub lottery result effect setting process is terminated. The sub-lottery result effect executed when the execution lottery B is won is a fake (gase) sub-lottery result effect.

In step S2411, an execution time lottery is performed in order to determine the execution time of the sub lottery result effect selected by the execution lottery A or B. Execution time The execution time determined by the lottery includes a start lever operation, a first stop operation, a second stop operation, a third stop operation, and the like.

In step S2412, the sub-lottery result effect selected by the execution lottery A or B is reserved for execution so as to start execution at the execution time determined by the execution time lottery. For example, if the red sub lottery result effect is selected in the execution lottery A and the execution time is determined by the execution time lottery when the start lever is operated, the red sub lottery result effect is started when the start lever is operated. Make a reservation for execution.

<Main lottery result production setting process>
Next, the main lottery result effect setting process will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 24. Note that FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing in detail the flow of the main lottery result effect setting process in step S2302 of FIG. 22.

In step S2501, it is determined whether or not the internal lottery command has been received in the command processing (step S2004 of FIG. 12). If the internal lottery command is received, the process proceeds to step S2502, and if not, the main lottery result effect setting process is terminated.

In step S2502, it is determined whether or not to start executing the sub lottery result effect. Here, to start executing the sub lottery result effect specifically means whether to start executing the sub lottery result effect when the internal lottery command is received (when the start lever is operated). If the sub lottery result production is to be started, the process proceeds to step S2506, and if not, the process proceeds to step S2503.

In step S2503, an execution lottery for the main lottery result effect is performed, which determines whether or not to execute the main lottery result effect, and then in step S2504, it is determined whether or not the execution lottery for the main lottery result effect is won. .. Execution of main lottery result effect If the lottery is won, the process proceeds to step S2505. If not, the main lottery result effect setting process ends.

In step S2505, since the execution lottery for the main lottery result production was won, the selection lottery A (see FIG. 14B) is executed.

On the other hand, in step S2506, since the execution of the sub lottery result effect is started when the start lever is operated, the selection lottery B (see FIG. 14B) is executed.

In step S2507, the main lottery result effect selected in the selection lottery A or B is executed. Specifically, when the selection lottery A is executed, the main lottery result effect that displays the winning combination suggestion image P10, which is a large effect image, is started to be executed, and when the selection lottery B is executed, it is a small effect image. The main lottery result effect for displaying the winning combination confirmed image P11 is started to be executed. When the selection lottery B is executed, the sub lottery result effect for displaying the large character image C10 is also started to be executed (step S2502: YES), so that two images are displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 157. It will be.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the main lottery result effect suggesting the internal winning combination of the winning combination internal lottery process and the sub lottery result effect suggesting AT winning are executed at the same time, the main lottery result effect is the second. Since the winning combination confirmation image P11 that can be displayed in the production mode and can reliably identify the winning combination is displayed, even if the color of the sub lottery result production and the color suggesting the internal winning combination overlap. The player does not misidentify the internal winner from the color of the sub lottery result production. That is, even if the main lottery result effect and the sub lottery result effect are executed at the same time, it is possible to prevent the player from performing an erroneous stop operation.

<Modified example of the first embodiment>
FIG. 25 is a timing chart showing a modified example (modified example 1) of the execution time of the above-mentioned main lottery result effect. In the above embodiment (first embodiment), the main lottery result effect is executed at t1 when the start lever is operated, but the execution time of the main lottery result effect is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 25A, it may be executed at t3 at the time of the third stop operation for the stop buttons 137 to 139, or at the start of reel rotation (not shown). Further, in the above embodiment, when the condition for executing the main lottery result effect is satisfied ((1) when the execution lottery for the main lottery result effect is won, or (2) when the sub lottery result effect is executed). , The main lottery result effect is always executed, but as shown in FIG. 25B, sometimes the main lottery result effect may not be executed depending on the conditions. It should be noted that it may be the main control unit 300 or the first sub-control unit 400 that decides not to execute the main lottery result effect.

The effect of starting execution from t1 when the start lever 135 is operated may be changed at the start of reel rotation (modification example 1-1). Specifically, an image displayed on the liquid crystal display device 157 by operating the start lever 135 (first display mode) and an image displayed on the liquid crystal display device 157 when the reel rotation starts (second display mode). And make it different. More specifically, the winning combination displayed on the liquid crystal display device 157 when the reel rotation starts is based on the size of the image suggesting the result of the lottery process in the winning combination displayed on the liquid crystal display device 157 by operating the start lever 135. The size of the image that suggests the result of the internal lottery process is made larger. Further, for example, an image (without a background effect) suggesting the result of the lottery process in the winning combination displayed on the liquid crystal display device 157 by operating the start lever 135 is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 157 when the reel rotation starts. An image (with a background effect) that suggests the result of the internal lottery process. The appearance may be differentiated from the sub-lottery result production, and the recognition as the production related to the operation may be improved. Furthermore, the following effects may be expected. In the game console of the present embodiment, the length of the period from the operation of the start lever to the start of rotation of the reel may vary. This period tends to be longer when the game speed is high and shorter when the game speed is low. As a result, the period for displaying the operation suggestion in the first display mode changes according to the game speed, and a novel effect can be performed. For example, for a player whose game speed is extremely slow, when the game is started, there is virtually no period for producing the main lottery result in the first display mode, and immediately the main lottery result effect is produced in the second display mode. Therefore, for a player whose game speed is extremely slow, it may be possible to improve the game speed to a certain game speed required to see the first display mode. On the other hand, for a player whose game speed is relatively slow, even if the main lottery result effect is executed in the first display mode when the game is started, the execution time is short and it is difficult to recognize. In some cases, the game speed can be increased even for the player.

In addition, the main lottery result production may include notification of a stop operation for winning the internally won push order bell, which is executed when the small winning combination 4 to 6 (push order bell) is won in the AT mode ( Modification 1-2). As this notification, for example, when the small winning combination 4 is internally elected, a notification displaying "Please press the stop button from the left" is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device, or when the small winning combination 5 is internally won, the liquid crystal display device. There is a notification that displays "Please press the stop button from the inside" on the screen of, and a notification that displays "Please press the stop button from the right" on the screen of the liquid crystal display device when the small winning combination 6 is internally elected. is there. The player who sees the image of this notification can recognize that the push order bell has been internally won. It should be noted that the notification of the operation timing to be executed when the so-called missing combination is won may be included. The player who sees the image of this notification can recognize that he has been internally elected as the missing role. In addition, the above-mentioned modified examples 1-1 and 1-2 may be combined, and as an example in that case, the result of the winning combination lottery process displayed on the liquid crystal display device 157 by operating the start lever 135 is suggested. From the size of the image "Please press the stop button from the left", the size of the image "Please press the stop button from the left" that suggests the result of the lottery process in the winning combination displayed on the liquid crystal display device 157 when the reel rotation starts. Make it bigger. Further, for example, the image "Please press the stop button from the left" (without the background effect) suggesting the result of the lottery process in the winning combination displayed on the liquid crystal display device 157 by operating the start lever 135 is displayed on the liquid crystal by starting the reel rotation. The image "Please press the stop button from the left" (with background effect) suggesting the result of the lottery process in the winning combination displayed on the display device 157. In some cases, the appearance can be differentiated from the sub-lottery result production, the recognition as the production related to the operation is improved, and the operation error can be reduced.

FIG. 26A shows a modified example (modified example 2) of the above-mentioned sub-lottery result effect effect mode. In the sub-lottery result production of the above embodiment (first embodiment), the character image C10 is fixedly displayed in a predetermined color determined by the execution lottery, but the color of the character image C10 may be changed. .. For example, as shown in FIG. 26A, the color of the character image C10 may be changed from yellow to green to red. That is, a plurality of sub-lottery result effects G1, G2, and G3 having different colors may be sequentially executed. In this case, the expectation for winning the AT may be further improved.

26 (b) and 26 (c) are timing charts showing a modified example (modified example 3) of the execution time of the sub-lottery result effect. FIG. 26B shows an example of the execution timing when a plurality of sub-lottery result effects having different colors are sequentially executed, and the sub-lottery result effect 1 that was executed before t1 when the start lever is operated is started. The case where the sub-lottery result effect 2 is changed from t1 when the lever is operated is shown. In this way, when executing a plurality of sub-lottery result effects, the start lever operation may be used as an opportunity to switch to the next sub-lottery result effect.

FIG. 26C shows the execution timing of each effect when the sub lottery result effect is interrupted and executed while another effect (effect N) is being executed, and before t1 when the start lever is operated this time. The effect N that was being executed is changed from t1 when the start lever is operated this time to a sub lottery result effect, and after executing this sub lottery result effect until t11 when the next start lever is operated, t11 when the next start lever is operated. The case where the effect N is executed again is shown. In this way, the sub-lottery result effect may be executed by interrupting another effect, triggered by the start lever operation.

FIG. 27A is a timing chart showing a modified example (modified example 4) when the execution times of the main lottery result effect and the sub lottery result effect overlap. In the above embodiment, the case where the main lottery result effect and the sub lottery result effect are started to be executed from t1 when the start lever is operated has been described, but the case where the execution time of the main lottery result effect and the sub lottery result effect overlap is limited to this. It's not something. For example, when the main lottery result effect is to be executed from t3 during the third stop operation as shown in FIG. 25 (a), the main lottery is started from t3 during the third stop operation as shown in FIG. 27 (a). The result production and the sub lottery result production may start to be executed. Even in such a case, both the main lottery result effect and the sub lottery result effect may be executed in the effect mode shown in FIG. 20B, as in the above embodiment.

27 (b), 28 (a) and (b) are image examples showing a modified example (modified example 5) of the effect mode when the execution times of the main lottery result effect and the sub lottery result effect overlap. .. As shown in FIG. 27 (b), the winning combination confirmation image P11 of the main lottery result production may be a part of the image of the symbol combination corresponding to the internally won combination, or as shown in FIG. 28 (a). , As a character image that directly represents the winning combination (for example, a character image of watermelon winning !, not an image of the effect selected from the selection lottery table B shown in FIG. 14 (b), but a dedicated image). Good. This is because all of them are images that can surely identify the internally won combination, so that even if the sub-lottery result effect is displayed at the same time, the player does not misidentify the internally won combination.

In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 21A, when the winning combination internal lottery process is lost, the character image showing the loss is displayed as the winning combination confirmation image P11, but the present invention is not limited to this. , As shown in FIG. 28B, nothing may be displayed as the winning combination confirmation image P11. This is because it may be possible to identify that the internally won combination is a loss by displaying nothing. Furthermore, if there is a sub lottery result production that improves the player's expectation even though the production that can be recognized as a loss is executed, the sub lottery result production is recognized as a false production (gase production). In some cases, this can be prevented.

(Second Embodiment)
Further, in the above embodiment (first embodiment), the sub-lottery result production that suggests the result of the AT lottery and the production that the execution time overlaps with each other are described as the main lottery result production that suggests the result of the winning combination internal lottery process. , Not limited to this. For example, when the execution time of the bonus winning effect suggesting the bonus winning and the sub lottery result effect overlap, both the bonus winning effect and the sub lottery result effect may be executed. In this case, the player is internally elected. In order not to misidentify the winning combination, the winning combination confirmed image P11 may be displayed as the bonus winning effect (second embodiment). Hereinafter, the effect control when the execution time of the bonus winning effect and the sub lottery result effect overlap will be described.

<Bonus winning production>
FIG. 29 is a diagram showing an effect mode of the above-mentioned bonus winning effect. The bonus winning effect includes a bonus confirmed effect that suggests a bonus winning (it is confirmed that the bonus role has been internally won, but the internally won bonus role (BB1, BB2) is unknown) and the internally won bonus. There is a bonus role specific effect that informs the role (the role of the bonus that was internally won (BB1, BB2) is known), and in this variant, when executing the bonus winning effect, first, the bonus confirmation effect is executed, and then Next, the bonus role specific effect is executed. FIG. 29 (a) is an image example showing the effect mode of the bonus finalizing effect, and FIG. 29 (b) is an image example showing the effect mode of the bonus combination specific effect. As shown in FIG. 29A, the bonus confirmation effect is an effect of displaying a large character image P20 (for example, a bonus confirmation) suggesting a bonus winning in the center of the screen of the liquid crystal display device 157, and a bonus combination specific effect. As shown in FIG. 29 (b), in addition to the character image P20, the internally won bonus combination itself is directly shown, and the internally won combination can be reliably identified as the winning combination confirmed image P11. (For example, an image of a symbol combination corresponding to an internally won bonus combination) is displayed. The effect mode when the bonus winning effect is executed independently is referred to as the first effect mode, and the effect mode when the bonus winning effect is executed at the same time as the sub lottery result effect is referred to as the second effect mode. The effect image shown in FIG. 29 shows an image example of the first effect mode of the bonus winning effect.

FIG. 30 is a timing chart showing the execution time of the bonus winning effect. There are various patterns in the execution time of the bonus winning effect. For example, in FIG. 30A, the bonus confirmation effect is executed from t1 when the start lever of the game internally won as the bonus combination is operated, and then the predetermined number of games is executed. The case where the bonus combination specific effect is started from t11 when the start lever is operated after the lapse of time is shown, and FIG. 30B shows the bonus confirmation effect after the lapse of a predetermined number of games internally won for the bonus combination. A case is shown in which the bonus combination specific effect is started to be executed at t13 at the time of the third stop operation, and FIG. 30 (c) shows the bonus confirmation effect from t1 at the time of operating the start lever of the game in which the bonus combination is internally won. Is executed, and after the bonus confirmation effect is TA executed for a predetermined time, the execution of the bonus combination specific effect is started.

<When the execution time of the bonus winning production and the sub lottery result production overlap>
Next, the case where the bonus winning effect and the sub-lottery result effect are executed at the same time will be described with reference to FIGS. 31 to 32. FIG. 31 (a) is a timing chart showing the execution time of each effect when the execution time of the bonus winning effect and the sub lottery result effect overlaps, and FIG. 31 (b) shows the bonus winning effect and the sub lottery result effect. It is a figure which shows the production mode of each effect when the execution time overlaps.

In the present embodiment, the execution time of the bonus combination specific effect and the sub lottery result effect of the bonus winning effect may overlap. For example, as shown in FIG. 30A, the bonus combination specific effect may be started from t11 when the start lever is operated, and the sub lottery result effect may also be started from t1 when the start lever is operated. Therefore, as an example, as shown in FIG. 31A, both the main lottery result effect and the sub lottery result effect may be started from t1 when the start lever 135 is operated.

In such a case, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 31B, both the bonus combination specific effect and the sub lottery result effect are executed on the same screen of the liquid crystal display device 157. More specifically, the character image C10 of the sub lottery result effect is displayed large in the center of the screen of the liquid crystal display device 157, and the winning combination confirmation image P11 of the bonus combination specific effect is displayed small in the lower right corner of the screen of the liquid crystal display device 157. That is, the production image of the second production mode of the bonus combination specific production is displayed by reducing a part of the production image of the first production mode to a small size (character image P20 of the bonus combination specific production). Is deleted, and only the winning combination confirmed image P11 is displayed small). In this way, when the bonus combination specific effect and the sub lottery result effect are executed at the same time, the display position and size of the character image C10 of the sub lottery result effect is changed as compared with the case where each effect is executed independently. However, the display position and size of the winning combination confirmation image P11 of the bonus combination specific effect will be changed.

When the execution time of the bonus role specific effect and the sub lottery result effect overlap, displaying only the winning combination confirmed image P11 as the bonus role specific effect is the execution time of the main lottery result effect and the sub lottery result effect. This is the same as the reason for executing the effect image of the main lottery result effect limited to the winning combination confirmation image P11 when the two are overlapped. That is, in order to surely eliminate the possibility that the player misidentifies the internal winning combination based on the color of the sub lottery result production.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the bonus combination specific effect for notifying the internally won bonus combination of the bonus winning effects suggesting the bonus winning and the sub lottery result effect suggesting the AT winning are executed at the same time, the bonus is given. Since the winning combination confirmation image P11 that can display the role-specific effect in the second effect mode and can reliably identify the bonus combination that was internally won is displayed, the color of the sub-lottery result effect and the color that suggests the bonus combination are displayed. Even if there is an overlap, the player does not misidentify the internal winning combination from the color of the sub lottery result production. That is, even if the bonus combination specific effect and the sub lottery result effect are executed at the same time, it is possible to prevent the player from performing an erroneous stop operation.

In the present embodiment, when the main lottery result effect and the sub lottery result effect are executed at the same time, only the image effect is described, but at the same time, in the sound effect and the light emission effect, the effect of eliminating the misidentification of the internal winning combination is executed. You may. For example, when the BB1 is internally won in the winning combination internal lottery process, the sound of "BB1 winning" may be output from the speakers 272 and 277 in the main lottery result production. Further, in the configuration in which the BB1 winning lamp for notifying the BB1 winning is separately provided, when the BB1 is internally won in the winning combination internal lottery process, the BB1 winning lamp may be made to emit light in the main lottery result production. Further, when the main lottery result effect and the sub lottery result effect are executed at the same time, the image effect may not be executed in the main lottery result effect, but only the sound effect and the light emission effect may be executed. This is because it may be possible to accurately grasp the internal winning combination only by voice or light emission.

In addition, when the main lottery result effect and the sub lottery result effect are executed at the same time, when the image effect and the lamp light emission effect are executed in the sub lottery result effect, a color suggesting a bonus role is used for the color of the lamp light emission effect. , The player may misidentify the internal winning combination from the color of the sub lottery result production. Therefore, even in such a case, it is preferable to display the winning combination confirmation image P11 as the main lottery result production.

<Modified example of the second embodiment>
32 (a) and 32 (b) are image examples showing a modified example (modified example 1) of the effect mode when the execution times of the bonus combination specific effect and the sub lottery result effect overlap. As shown in FIGS. 32 (a) and 32 (b), the winning combination confirmation image P11 of the bonus combination specific effect is a character image that directly represents the internally won combination (for example, "BB1 winning!" Or "Red 7 winning". , Etc.). In these cases as well, since the image can reliably identify the internally won bonus combination, even if the sub lottery result production is displayed at the same time, the player will not be misidentified as the internally won combination. is there.

In the above embodiment (second embodiment), the bonus winning effect and the sub-lottery result effect are both executed when the respective effect execution conditions are satisfied, but the effect execution condition is satisfied. In addition, the above effect may be executed based on a predetermined button operation (modification example 2).

FIG. 33 (a) is a timing chart when the sub lottery result effect is started to be executed after a lapse of a predetermined time based on the operation of the effect button, and FIG. 33 (b) is an immediate timing chart based on the operation of the effect button. It is a timing chart when the bonus winning effect (bonus confirmation effect) is executed. As shown in FIG. 33 (a), the sub-lottery result effect is started to be executed after a predetermined time TA from t21 when the effect button is operated, and the bonus confirmation effect of the bonus winning effect is shown in FIG. 33 (b). ), The execution is started from t21 when the effect button is operated, triggered by the operation on the effect button, and the bonus combination specific effect of the bonus winning effect is started to be executed after a predetermined time TA from t21 when the effect button is operated. As a result, as shown in FIG. 33 (c), the sub lottery result effect and the bonus combination specific effect are both started to be executed after a predetermined time TA from t21 when the effect button is operated, so that the sub lottery result effect and the bonus combination specific effect are both started. Will be executed at the same time.

Further, FIG. 34 (a) is a timing chart when the sub lottery result effect is immediately started to be executed based on the operation of the effect button, and FIG. 34 (b) is an immediate timing chart based on the operation of the effect button. It is a timing chart when the bonus winning effect (bonus role specific effect) is executed. As shown in FIG. 34 (a), the sub-lottery result effect is started to be executed from t21 when the effect button is operated, triggered by the operation of the effect button, while the bonus confirmation effect of the bonus winning effect is shown in FIG. 34 (b). As shown, the effect is executed before t21 when the effect button is operated, and the bonus combination specific effect of the bonus winning effect is executed from t21 when the effect button is operated, triggered by the operation on the effect button. As a result, as shown in FIG. 34 (c), since the sub lottery result effect and the bonus combination specific effect are started to be executed at the same time as t21 when the effect button is operated, the execution times of the sub lottery result effect and the bonus combination specific effect overlap. It will be.

In this way, the sub lottery result effect and the bonus winning effect may be started to be executed based on the operation for the predetermined operation button. In this case, when the execution time of the sub lottery result effect and the bonus combination specific effect overlaps. As in the above embodiment (second embodiment), the sub lottery result production and the bonus combination specific production may be executed in the production mode as shown in FIG. 31 (b).

<Modified examples of the first embodiment and the second embodiment>
In the above embodiment, the sub lottery result effect is an image effect using the liquid crystal display device 157, but the sub lottery result effect is not limited to the effect using the liquid crystal display device 157. For example, a shutter 163A capable of emitting light may be provided in front of the liquid crystal display device 157, and the sub-lottery result effect may be executed using the shutter 163A.

FIG. 35 is a diagram showing an effect mode when the sub lottery result effect is executed using the shutter 163A. FIG. 35A shows the emission color of the shutter 163A, and the emission color is a color suggesting the result of the AT lottery. In this modified example, as shown in FIG. 35 (a), the level of expectation is set in the order of red, green, and yellow.

When the execution time of the main lottery result effect (or bonus winning effect) and the execution time of the sub lottery result effect using the shutter 163A overlap, as shown in FIG. 35 (b), the sub lottery result effect is the shutter 163A. The shutter 163A is emitted in a predetermined color, and the main lottery result effect is such that the winning combination confirmation image P11 is displayed on the open screen (area visible to the player) of the liquid crystal display device 157. It may be.

Also in this case, the player can correctly grasp the internal winning combination without being confused by the emission color of the shutter 163A.

Finally, the color of the pattern applied to the reels 110 to 112 is supplemented. In the above embodiment, as described above, stopping the red symbol on the effective line may remind the player of the BB1 prize, and stopping the pink symbol on the effective line may remind the player of the BB2 prize. Was sometimes reminiscent of the player. Also, stopping the red symbol on the effective line may remind the player of the cherry prize, and stopping the green symbol on the effective line may remind the player of the watermelon prize. In addition, the fact that the yellow symbol stopped on the effective line sometimes reminded the player of winning a bell. Here, the color of the symbol is not only the color having the largest area ratio to the total area of the symbol, but also the color of the social convention (the convention of the amusement world) and other symbols. Is to be done. As an example, as shown in FIG. 36 (a), the watermelon pattern has red, white, silver, green and black colors in detail, and the ratio of green is 20% of the total area of the pattern. Degree. However, the fact that the watermelon symbol is recognized as green is that the concept of watermelon is green has already been formed in the game world, and as shown in FIG. 36 (b), other symbols on the reel have This is due to the fact that the design, which is the concept of green, is not applied. However, it is difficult to recognize a symbol that does not contain green at all (the ratio of green is 0% of the total area of the symbol) as a green symbol, with exceptions. The exception will be described with reference to FIG. 37.

Regarding the color of the symbol combination arranged on the effective line, it is not limited to the case where all the symbols arranged on the effective line are formed in the same color. For example, as shown in FIG. 37 (a), if the color of two of the three symbols is green, this symbol combination may be recognized as green. In FIG. 37 (a), the symbol described as green is approximately (about 90%) green, and the symbol described as purple is approximately (approximately 90%) purple. Also, even if the colors of the three symbols are different, if they are common in that they have the same motif (for example, the motif of bamboo), the colors of the three symbols are the symbolic colors of the same motif (for example, green for bamboo). Is recognized as. In FIG. 37 (b), the ratio of green of each symbol is 10%. Further, as shown in FIG. 37 (c), even if one of the three symbols is green and the other two symbols are yellow, the area of the green symbol is yellow. If it is larger than the area of the marked symbol, it may be recognized as green.

Further, in the above embodiment, when the main lottery result effect (or bonus winning effect) and the sub lottery result effect are started to be executed at the same time, the main lottery result effect is not changed without changing the effect mode (effect image) of the sub lottery result effect. The effect control for changing the effect mode (effect image) of (or the bonus winning effect) was executed. However, executing such an effect control is not necessarily limited to the case where the main lottery result effect and the sub lottery result effect are started to be executed at the same time, and in a broad sense, at least one of the execution periods of the main lottery result effect. It suffices if at least a part of the execution period of the part and the sub lottery result production overlaps. In such a case, the player may misidentify the internal winning combination based on the color of the sub lottery result effect during the overlapping period.

FIG. 38 is a time chart in the case where the execution period of the main lottery result effect and the execution period of the sub lottery result effect overlap, although the execution of the main lottery result effect and the sub lottery result effect is not started at the same time. The modified example shown in FIG. 38 shows a case where both the main lottery result effect and the sub lottery result effect are started to be executed when the start lever is operated. More specifically, in FIG. 38 (a), when the main lottery result effect is executed before the sub lottery result effect, in FIG. 38 (b), the sub lottery result effect is executed before the main lottery result effect. This is the case where the main lottery result effect and the sub lottery result effect are executed at the same time. For example, in FIG. 38 (a), when the sub lottery result effect is executed after the effect of the stage before the sub lottery result effect is executed for the period of ΔT, FIG. 38 (b) shows the stage before the main lottery result effect. It is assumed that the main lottery result effect is started to be executed after the effect is executed for the period of ΔT. In this way, if the execution triggers are the same (for example, the same conditions are set to execute both effects when the operation of the start lever 135 is received), the main lottery result effect and the sub It is not necessary to start executing the lottery result production at the same time. As described above, the term “simultaneous” is required to have a degree of simultaneity that the player can recognize as simultaneous. Therefore, ΔT shown in FIG. 38 is a period that the player cannot recognize as simultaneous. It has become.

Further, in the above embodiment, the effect control when the main lottery result effect (or bonus winning effect) and the sub lottery result effect are executed at the same time has been described. It may be a game table capable of simultaneously executing a plurality of suggested effects, and the above effect control may be applied when a game table having such a configuration executes a plurality of effects at the same time.

FIG. 39 shows, as an example of a plurality of effects, a time chart in the case where the combination lottery result effect A showing the lottery result of the small combination and the combination lottery result effect B showing the lottery result of the special combination are executed at the same time. There is. FIG. 39A shows a lottery for a small winning combination when the special winning combination and the small winning combination are internally elected at the same time, and the start lever is operated when the special winning combination and the small winning combination are internally won at the same time. It is shown that the combination lottery result effect A suggesting the result is executed and the combination lottery result effect B suggesting the winning of the special combination is executed. Here, since the role lottery result production B is a production that displays the expectation of winning the special role by color, there is a possibility that the internal winning combination may be mistaken based on the color of the image of the role lottery result production B. .. Therefore, when the combination lottery result production A and the combination lottery result production B are executed at the same time, the production mode of the combination lottery result production B is left as it is, while the production mode of the combination lottery result production A is changed (for example). , The image of the internally won symbol combination is displayed in a small size, etc.).

As shown in FIG. 39 (a), the case where the special role and the small role are internally won at the same time is the case where the special role and the small role are internally won at the same time in one game, as shown in FIG. 39 (b). As described above, the case where the special role is internally elected (the special role is internally elected) and the small role is internally elected is also included.

Further, even in the case of the modification shown in FIG. 39, if the execution periods of the two winning combination lottery result effects A and B overlap, the execution of the two winning combination lottery result effects A and B is not started at the same time. Good. For example, as shown in FIG. 40 (a), the combination lottery result effect A may be started before the combination lottery result effect B, or as shown in FIG. 40 (b), the combination lottery result effect B. May be started before the role lottery result production A. For example, in the modified example shown in FIG. 40 (b), the winning combination lottery result effect B may be started to be executed at the time of the betting operation of this game.

In addition, the sub-lottery result production of the above embodiment is the expectation of the result (AT lottery result) determined by the first sub-control unit 400 (AT lottery result (winning, non-winning) and when the AT lottery is won. The time when the AT mode was started (immediately, several games ahead, etc.) was expressed by a plurality of colors. That is, the color shown by the sub-lottery result production of the above-described embodiment is information on the sense of expectation, not definite information. However, the sub-lottery result effect may include a definite effect that notifies the definite information. For example, when red is displayed in the sub lottery result production, 100 AT games are given, and when yellow is displayed in the sub lottery result production, 50 AT games are given. It may be made clear that the fact is confirmed.

Further, in the above embodiment, one color is selected from a plurality of colors by executing the execution lottery to determine the sub-lottery result effect, but it is not always necessary to use the plurality of colors. It may be composed of only one color, and a lottery for whether or not to select the one color may be performed, and if the winner is won, a sub lottery result effect using the one color may be executed. It should be noted that this one color only needs to be composed mainly of one color, and does not mean that it is strictly composed of only one color.

Further, in the above embodiment, the first sub control unit 400 determines the AT mode / non-AT mode, but separately, the main control unit 300 may determine the AT mode / non-AT mode. .. Conventionally, the sub-control unit executes the effect of notifying information about the operation of the stop button in the AT mode (such as the operation procedure effect of the above embodiment), but the main test target of the game console is the main control unit. Therefore, there is a problem that the operation procedure effect by the sub-control unit is unlikely to appear as a test result. Therefore, in order to solve such a problem, the main control unit 300 may determine the AT mode / non-AT mode (for example, the main control unit 300 has a predetermined internal winning probability (for example, 1/300)). Draw a lottery to switch to AT mode and determine AT mode / non-AT mode). More specifically, transition processing between AT mode and non-AT mode (lottery processing for transitioning from non-AT mode to AT mode, etc.), selection lottery for main lottery result production, selection lottery for sub lottery result production, sub lottery Execution time of result production Lottery processing such as lottery is performed by the main control unit 300, and the first sub-control unit 400 and the second sub-control unit 500 receive the processing result of the main control unit 300 and are internally elected. Main lottery result production that suggests a role, bonus winning production that suggests bonus winning, production that suggests the determination of AT mode, role lottery result production A that shows the lottery result of a small role, and a role that shows the lottery result of a special role The lottery result effect B is executed. In the above embodiment, the effect suggesting the determination of the AT mode is a sub-lottery result effect.

FIG. 41 is a transition diagram of the gaming state of the main control unit 300 of such a modified example, and FIG. 42 shows the gaming state of the main control unit 300 and the gaming state of the first sub-control unit 400 of such a modified example. It is a time chart for explaining the state transition by associating with.

The main control unit 300 of the slot machine 100 is roughly classified into a re-game low probability state (RT0), a special combination 1 or 2 internal winning state (RT1), and a BB game state (RT2). In this modification, the gaming states roughly divided into these three are referred to as RT-type gaming states. Further, in this modification, the main control unit 300 also controls a state related to the so-called AT (assist time) (hereinafter, referred to as an AT system game state), and according to the AT system game state determined by the main control unit 300. The first sub-control unit 400 sets the game state. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 41, the AT system gaming state of the main control unit 300 has two gaming states of mode A (non-AT mode) and mode B (AT mode). 1 The gaming state of the sub control unit 400 is set to match the gaming state of the AT system of the main control unit 300.

Here, the game state of the RT system of the main control unit 300 and its transition, and the game state of the first sub-control unit 400 and its transition are the same as those of the first embodiment (see FIGS. 7 and 9A). , The description will be omitted, and the transition of the game state of the AT system of the main control unit 300 will be described.

Explaining the game state of the AT system of the main control unit 300 in comparison with the game state of the RT system of the main control unit 300, as shown in FIG. 41, RT0, RT1 and RT2 are in the non-AT mode. , RT0 is in AT (assist time) mode. That is, RT0 is composed of a non-AT mode and an AT mode.

FIG. 42 (a) is a time chart diagram showing a case where the main control unit 300 and the first sub control unit 400 start the AT mode, and FIG. 42 (b) shows the main control unit 300 and the first sub control. It is a time chart diagram which showed the case where the part 400 ends AT mode.
