Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

  Conventionally, a game called pachislot, comprising a plurality of reels each having a plurality of symbols arranged on each surface, a start switch, a stop switch, a stepping motor provided for each reel, and a control unit. The machine is known. The start switch detects that the start lever has been operated by the player (hereinafter also referred to as “start operation”) after a game medium such as a medal or coin has been inserted into the gaming machine, and the rotation of all reels is detected. Outputs a signal requesting start. The stop switch detects that a stop button provided for each reel has been pressed by the player (hereinafter also referred to as “stop operation”), and outputs a signal requesting the rotation of the corresponding reel to stop. To do. The stepping motor transmits the driving force to the corresponding reel. Further, the control unit controls the operation of the stepping motor based on the signals output from the start switch and the stop switch, and performs the rotation operation and stop operation of each reel.

  In such a gaming machine, when a start operation is detected, lottery processing using random numbers (hereinafter referred to as “internal lottery processing”) is performed on the program, and the result of the lottery (hereinafter referred to as “internal winning combination”). And the rotation of the reel is stopped based on the timing of the stop operation. Then, when the rotation of all the reels is stopped and the symbol combination related to the winning is displayed, a privilege corresponding to the symbol combination is given to the player. As an example of a privilege granted to a player, a replay (hereinafter also referred to as “replay”) in which an internal lottery process is performed again without paying out game media (medals, etc.) or consuming the game media. An operation of a bonus game in which a game medium payout opportunity increases can be cited.

  In addition, some gaming machines have a predetermined number of games as one set and execute an assist time (hereinafter referred to as “AT”) in the games in the set. “AT” is a function of navigating the establishment (stop display) of a specific small role with a lamp or the like. In addition, as a gaming machine, a replay time (hereinafter referred to as “RT”), which is a gaming state in which the replay winning probability is higher than normal, and an assist replay time (hereinafter referred to as “ART”) in which “AT” is executed simultaneously. ) Is also available.

  As a gaming machine that performs “AT (ART)”, in a game in one set of “AT (ART)”, it is known that whether or not to perform “AT (ART)” of the next set is determined by lottery. (See Patent Document 1). In such a game machine, in order to determine whether or not to perform the next set of “AT (ART)” in the currently executed “AT (ART)”, one set of “AT (ART)” is a delimiter. It is expected that undulations will occur in a plurality of games and that the interest of the game will be enhanced.

  In addition, as a gaming machine that performs “AT (ART)”, a so-called game in which a predetermined number of games is added to the remaining number of games related to “AT (ART)” during “AT (ART)”. One that adds a number is known (see Patent Document 2). In such a gaming machine, the remaining number of games related to “AT (ART)” is added and increased, so that the game becomes clear. In addition, it is expected to increase the visual appeal of the game by displaying the number of games to be added or the number of remaining games after the addition as a numerical value.

  By the way, “AT (ART)” for performing a lottery on whether or not to perform the next set and “AT (ART)” for performing a lottery on whether or not to add the number of games are installed in the gaming machine. Can be considered. However, simply mounting two “AT (ART)” will only produce the effects of two types of “AT (ART)”, and the synergy of mounting two types of “AT (ART)”. The effect was not expected.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that can improve the interest of games related to “AT (ART)” in consideration of the actual situation in the prior art.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a gaming machine having the following configuration.

A loading operation detecting means (for example, a medal sensor 35S described later) for detecting a gaming medium loading operation;
Start operation detecting means (for example, a start switch 16S described later) for detecting a start operation by the player based on detection of the input operation by the input operation detecting means;
Internal winning combination determining means (for example, internal lottery processing described later) for determining an internal winning combination with a predetermined probability based on detection of the start operation by the start operation detecting means;
Based on the detection of the start operation by the start operation detecting means, the variable display means (for example, three reels 3L, 3C, 3R and three reels to be described later) are displayed. Stepping motors 61L, 61C, 61R),
A stop operation detecting means (for example, a stop switch 17S described later) for detecting a stop operation by the player;
Stop control means (for example, reel stop control process described later) for stopping the change display of the symbol based on the determination result of the internal winning combination determining means and detection of the stop operation by the stop operation detecting means;
A game medium for giving a game medium (for example, a medal described later) based on a symbol combination displayed along a winning determination line extending over the plurality of display lines by stopping the variable display in the plurality of display lines. Granting means (for example, a medal payout process described later);
Notification means (for example, a liquid crystal display device 11 to be described later) for notifying display auxiliary information for displaying a combination of symbols giving an advantageous state for a player on a determination line straddling the plurality of display rows;
Based on the internal winning combination determined by the internal winning combination determining means, a first assist state (for example, “D_ART” described later), a second assist state (for example, “B_ART” described later), or a third assist state Assist state lottery means (for example, an after-art lottery process and an during-art process described later) for determining whether or not at least one of (for example, “G_ART” described later) has been won.
The third assist state shifts from the first assist state or the second assist state by winning in the assist state lottery performed in the first assist state or the second assist state,
When the first assist state is won by the assist state lottery, a first assist state in which a predetermined number of games are set as one set is executed. During the execution of the first assist state, the display auxiliary information is displayed by the notification means. In addition to being notified, after completion of the first assist state of the current set, whether or not to execute the first assist state of the next set is determined by lottery (for example, continuous lottery described later),
When the second assist state is won, the second assist state is executed for at least a predetermined number of games. During the execution of the second assist state, the notification means notifies the display auxiliary information and It is determined by lottery (for example, an extra lottery to be described later) whether or not to add one or more games to the number of games of
When the third assist state is won, the third assist state is executed for at least a predetermined number of games. During the execution of the third assist state, the display auxiliary information is notified by the notification means, and this time After completion of the third assist state of the set, whether or not to execute the third assist state of the next set is determined by lottery and whether or not one or more game counts are added to the remaining game count A gaming machine characterized by being determined by

In addition, the gaming machine of the present invention has a first special combination (for example, a small combination / replay data pointer “19 (weak ice)”, “20” described later) as the internal winning combination during execution of the first assist state. When the internal winning combination related to (strong ice) ”is determined, the internal special winning combination is a second special combination (for example, a small combination / replay data pointer“ 21 (weak cherry) ”,“ 22, 23 (described later) ”. There is a higher probability that the lottery will determine to execute the first assist state of the next set after the end of the first assist state of the current set than when the internal winning combination) related to “strong cherry)” is determined, If the first special combination is determined as the internal winning combination during execution of the second assist state, the remaining number of games is 1 or more than when the first special combination is determined as the internal winning combination. Add the number of games There may be a probability that is determined is increased by lottery.
When the first special combination is determined as the internal winning combination during the execution of the third assist state, the second special combination is determined more than the case where the second special combination is determined as the internal winning combination. It is highly probable that lottery will determine to execute the next set of third assist state after the end of the three assist state, and when the second special combination is determined as the internal winning combination, The probability of adding one or more game counts to the remaining game counts may be higher than the case where the first special combination is determined.

In the present embodiment, the winning probability of replay is displayed when an assist time (hereinafter referred to as “AT”) that is a function of navigating the establishment of a specific small role with a lamp or the like and a specific symbol combination is displayed. A pachislot machine having a function of an assist replay time (hereinafter referred to as “ART”) that simultaneously operates with a function of operating a replay time (hereinafter referred to as “RT”), which is a gaming state that is higher than usual, will be described.

<Function flow>
First, the functional flow of the pachislot will be described with reference to FIG.
In the pachislot of this embodiment, medals are used as game media for playing games. In addition to the medals, coins, game balls, game point data, tokens, or the like can be applied as game media.

  When a player inserts a medal and operates the start lever, one value (hereinafter, random number value) is extracted from random numbers in a predetermined numerical range (for example, 0 to 65535).

  The internal lottery means performs lottery based on the extracted random number value and determines an internal winning combination. This internal lottery means is carried out by a main control circuit described later. By determining the internal winning combination, a combination of symbols that permits display along a winning determination line described later is determined. The types of symbol combinations include those related to “winning” in which benefits such as paying out medals, re-games, bonuses, etc. are given to players, and other so-called “loses”. Is provided.

  Further, when the start lever is operated, a plurality of reels are rotated. Thereafter, when the player presses the stop button corresponding to the predetermined reel, the reel stop control means performs control to stop the rotation of the corresponding reel based on the internal winning combination and the timing when the stop button is pressed. Do. The reel stop control means is responsible for a main control circuit described later.

  In the pachislot, basically, a control for stopping the rotation of the corresponding reel is performed within a specified time (190 msec or 75 msec) from when the stop button is pressed. In the present embodiment, the number of symbols that move with the rotation of the reel within the specified time is referred to as “the number of sliding symbols”. When the specified period is 190 msec, the maximum number of sliding symbols is set to 4 symbols, and when the specified period is 75 msec, the maximum number of sliding symbols is set to 1 symbol.

  When the internal winning combination allowing the symbol combination display related to winning is determined, the reel stop control means usually displays the symbol combination within the specified time of 190 msec (four symbols) for the winning determination line. The rotation of the reel is stopped so as to display as much as possible. In addition, the reel stop control means is defined for one or more reels when, for example, a challenge bonus (CB), which is a second type special character, and a middle bonus (MB) that continuously activates CB are operated. The reel rotation is stopped so that the combination of symbols is displayed as much as possible along the winning determination line within a time of 75 msec (for one symbol). Furthermore, the reel stop control means uses various specified times corresponding to the gaming state to rotate the reels so that combinations of symbols that are not permitted to be displayed by the internal winning combination are not displayed along the winning determination line. Stop.

  Thus, when the rotation of the plurality of reels is all stopped, the winning determination means determines whether or not the combination of symbols displayed along the winning determination line is related to winning. This winning determination means is carried out by a main control circuit described later. When it is determined by the winning determination means that it is related to winning, a privilege such as paying out medals is given to the player. In the pachislot, a series of flows as described above is performed as one game.

  Further, in the pachislot, in the above-described series of flows, video display performed by a display device such as a liquid crystal display device, light output performed by various lamps, sound output performed by a speaker, or a combination thereof is used. Various productions are performed.

  When the start lever is operated, an effect random number value (hereinafter referred to as effect random number value) is extracted separately from the random number value used for determining the internal winning combination. When the effect random number value is extracted, the effect content determining means determines, by lottery, what is to be executed this time from among a plurality of types of effect contents associated with the internal winning combination. This effect content determination means is carried out by a sub-control circuit described later.

  When the contents of the effect are determined, the effect executing means executes the corresponding effect in conjunction with each opportunity, such as when the rotation of the reels starts, when the rotation of each reel stops, or when determining whether there is a winning. In this way, in the pachislot machine, the player has the opportunity to know or predict the determined internal winning combination (in other words, the combination of symbols to be aimed at) by executing the production contents associated with the internal winning combination. It is possible to improve the player's interest.

On the other hand, the number of inserted medals is two, and the display combination is “Bell”, “Cherry 1” to “Cherry 9”, “One piece combination”, “BB & Billy medium use combination 1” to “BB & Billy medium use combination” If any one of “4” is determined, 12 medals are paid out.

  In the present embodiment, the number of inserted medals is one, and “Bell”, “Cherry 1” to “Cherry 9”, “One Piece”, “BB & Billy Medium Use 1” to “ When any one of “BB & Billy medium-use combination 4” and “Billy medium-use combination 1” is determined, 15 medals are paid out. “15” which is the number of medals paid out indicates a specific example of the designated number according to the present invention.

  Further, in the present embodiment, for example, as a display combination, a display combination related to replay (“normal lip”, “control lip 1” to “control lip 3” shown in FIG. 8, “RT2 transition lip 1”, and “RT2 transition lip” When any one of the symbol combinations related to “2” is determined, the replay is activated.

  For the display combinations related to “Lip transition eye 1” to “Lip transition eye 12” shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, “2” to “5” are determined as the small role / replay data pointers, and the pressing order in the stop operation Is displayed together with “Normal Lip” when the answer is incorrect. The display combinations related to these “Lip transition eye 1” to “Lip transition eye 12” are display combinations that are triggered when the RT gaming state transitions to the RT0 gaming state described later.

  Further, “14” to “17” are determined as the small role / replay data pointers for the display combinations related to “Bell transition 1” to “Bell transition 10” shown in FIG. If the answer is incorrect, it is displayed with “Bell”. The display combinations related to “Bell transition 1” to “Bell transition 10” are display combinations that are triggered when the RT gaming state transitions to the RT0 gaming state described later.

  In the display combinations related to “single spilled eyes 1” to “single spilled eyes 18” shown in FIG. 9, “SB” is determined as the internal winning combination, and the symbol combination related to “SB” is displayed on the effective line (winning determination line). Displayed when the stop display could not be displayed. The display combinations related to these “single spilled eyes 1” to “single spilled eyes 18” are display combinations that trigger the transition of the RT gaming state to the RT1 gaming state described later.

  In the present embodiment, when “SB” is determined as the internal winning combination, when the stop operation (the first stop of the right reel) is first performed on the right reel 3R, “single spill 1” to “ The symbol combination related to “single spill 18” is stopped and displayed on the active line.

Further, “don 1 control” and “don 2 control” and the like shown in FIG. 9 are data (control control data) provided for control control, and are not defined as display combinations. That is, the symbol combination corresponding to “don 1 control”, “don 2 control”, and the like is one of the symbol combinations related to the loss.
Note that the control control is a control for stopping the plurality of reels 3L, 3C, and 3R so that the symbol combinations permitted to be displayed by the determined internal winning combination are displayed as much as possible.

In this embodiment, “BB1” to “BB4”, “PB1” to “PB4”, “SB” “normal lip”, “control lip 1” to “control lip 3”, “RT2 transition lip 1”, “RT2” Symbol combinations corresponding to “Transition Lip 2”, “Bell”, “Ice”, etc. are specific examples of symbol combinations for internal winning according to the present invention.
Also, “Don 1 control”, “Don 2 control”, “BB billy mid control”, “BB mid control 1” to “BB mid control 5”, “Bell control 1” and “Bell control” The symbol combination corresponding to “2” indicates a specific example of the control symbol combination according to the present invention.

[Bonus operating table]
Next, the bonus operation time table will be described with reference to FIGS. The bonus operation time table stores data stored in a game state flag storage area (see FIG. 40), a bonus end number counter, a game possible number counter, and a winning number counter that are provided in the main RAM 53 when a bonus operation is performed. Is stipulated. That is, the bonus operating time table shows a specific example of the special game end condition defining means according to the present invention.

  The game state flag is data for identifying the type of bonus game to be operated. In the present embodiment, a big bonus, a regular bonus, and a single bonus are provided as bonus game types. The big bonus is called an accessory continuous operation device related to a so-called first type special accessory, and is hereinafter referred to as “BB”. The regular bonus is called a so-called first type special character, and is hereinafter referred to as “RB”. The operation of RB is continuously performed while the operation of BB is performed. The single bonus is called a so-called ordinary actor and is hereinafter referred to as “SB”. The operation of the SB is performed only for one game, and in that game, there is a high probability that a small combination (an internal winning combination corresponding to a payout of medals or a replay) will be won.

  The bonus operation time table (part 1) shown in FIG. 10 defines the value of the bonus end number counter set when the operation of “BB” is performed and the operation of “RB” corresponding to the operation of “BB”. doing. The bonus end number counter is data for managing whether or not a prescribed number (payout number) that triggers the end of the bonus game has been reached.

  In the present embodiment, the operation of “BB1” ends when the medals that reach the specified number “348” are paid out. In addition, the operations of “BB2” and “BB3” are finished when a medal that reaches the prescribed number “228” is paid out, and the operation of “BB4” is paid out of a medal that reaches the prescribed number “60”. Exit if done. Then, the operation of “BB5” is ended when the medal payout reaching the specified number “15” is performed, and the operation of “BB6” is performed when the medal payout reaching the specified number “30” is performed. To finish.

  That is, the numerical value defined by the bonus operation time table is stored in the bonus end number counter, and the subtraction is performed through the operation of the bonus. As a result, the operation of the bonus is completed on condition that the value of the bonus end number counter is updated to a value smaller than “0” (negative value).

  The specified number “15”, which is the value of the bonus end number counter of “BB5”, represents a specific example of the first specified number according to the present invention. In the present invention, since the number of games when “BB5” operates in the smallest number is two, the first specified number may be equal to or more than the specified number and less than twice. The specified number “30”, which is the value of the bonus end number counter of “BB6”, represents a specific example of the second specified number according to the present invention. In the present invention, since the number of games in which “BB6” operates is the smallest, the number of games is three, so the second specified number may be two times or more and less than three times the specified number.

  The bonus operation time table (No. 2) shown in FIG. 11 defines the value of the possible game number counter and the value of the possible winning number counter that are set when the “RB” and “SB” operations are performed. The game possible number counter is data for managing the number of remaining games that can be performed in the operation of “RB” or “SB”, that is, the so-called possible number of games. The winning possible number counter is data for managing the number of remaining games in which a combination of symbols related to winning can be displayed in one regular bonus (RB) game, so-called winning possible number. Note that since the possible number of games of the single bonus (SB) game is “1”, the value of the possible number of winning counter relating to the single bonus (SB) is not defined.

[RT transition table]
Next, the RT transition table will be described with reference to FIG. The RT transition table defines the activation (transition) conditions for each RT gaming state and the termination conditions for each RT gaming state.

  In the present embodiment, five types of RT0 gaming states to RT4 gaming states are provided as RT gaming states, which are different in internal winning combination of replay and their winning probabilities. As shown in FIG. 12, the activation (transition) and termination conditions (trigger) of each RT gaming state are determined by winning a predetermined internal winning combination or a combination of symbols relating to a specific internal winning combination being on the active line. For example, the display is stopped and the bonus game is activated and terminated.

  Specifically, in the initial state (when the main RAM 53 is cleared), “bell (four-sheet payout)”, “control lip 1” to “control lip 3”, or “lip transition eye 1” to “lip transition eye 12”. The RT0 gaming state is activated when the corresponding symbol combination is displayed. In addition, when the operations of “BB1” to “BB4” are finished, and “PB1” to “PB4” are won as internal winning combinations, the RT0 gaming state is activated.

In addition, when the symbol combinations corresponding to “single spilled eyes 1” to “single spilled eyes 18” are displayed, the RT1 gaming state is activated. On the other hand, when the symbol combination corresponding to “RT2 transition lip 1” or “RT2 transition lip 2” is displayed, the RT2 gaming state is activated. Further, when the operations of “PB1” to “PB4” are completed, the RT3 gaming state is activated. When “BB1” to “BB4” are won as internal winning combinations, the RT4 gaming state is activated.

The internal winning combinations “BB1” to “BB4” are specific examples of the specific internal winning combination according to the present invention, and the internal winning combinations “PB1” to “PB4” are special internal winning combinations according to the present invention. A specific example of a role is shown. The internal winning combination “SB” indicates a specific example of a special internal winning combination according to the present invention.

  In the pachi-slot 1 of the present embodiment, the main control circuit 41 (main CPU 51) refers to the RT transition table to control the transition of the RT gaming state. Details of the transition flow of the RT gaming state will be described later. This will be described more specifically with reference to FIG.

[Internal lottery table determination table]
Next, the internal lottery table determination table will be described with reference to FIG. The internal lottery table determination table defines a correspondence relationship between the gaming state, the number of inserted medals, the internal lottery table, and the number of lotteries.

  Specifically, when in the general gaming state (the number of inserted medals is “3”), the general gaming state internal lottery table is used, and “63” is set as the number of lotteries. When in the RB1 gaming state (the number of inserted medals is “2”), the internal lottery table for RB1 gaming state is used, and “8” is set as the number of lotteries. When in the RB2 gaming state (the number of inserted medals is “2”), the internal lottery table for RB2 gaming state is used, and “8” is set as the number of lotteries. In the RB3 gaming state (the number of inserted medals is “1”) or the RB4 gaming state (the number of inserted medals is “1”), the internal lottery table for the RB3 / 4 gaming state is used as the number of lotteries. “5” is set.

[Internal lottery table]
Next, an internal lottery table will be described with reference to FIGS. In the internal lottery table, the small role / replay data pointer and bonus data pointer associated with the winning number in each RT gaming state, each RB gaming state and SB gaming state, and each winning number are determined. Define the correspondence with lottery values.

  The small role / replay data pointer and bonus data pointer are data obtained as a result of lottery performed with reference to the internal lottery table, and are defined by an internal winning combination determination table (see FIGS. 23 to 25) described later. This is data for designating the designated internal winning combination.

  In the internal lottery process of the present embodiment, random numbers extracted from a predetermined numerical range “0 to 65535” are sequentially subtracted by lottery values defined according to each winning number. And then. An internal lottery is performed by determining whether the result of the subtraction is negative (whether a so-called “digit” has occurred). In other words, the winning number when the result of the subtraction becomes negative (“digit” occurs) is won, and the data point assigned to the winning number is acquired.

  Therefore, in the internal lottery process of the present embodiment, the larger the numerical value defined as the lottery value, the higher the probability that the data (that is, the data pointer) to which it is assigned is determined. The winning probability of each winning number can be represented by “the lottery value corresponding to each winning number / the number of all random numbers that may be extracted (random number denominator: 65536)”.

  FIG. 14 shows an internal lottery table (RT0) for a general gaming state. The general gaming state internal lottery table is a table that is referred to when the player is in the RT0 gaming state, and defines lottery values and data pointers according to the winning numbers 1 to 63.

  In the present embodiment, lottery values are defined according to settings 1 to 6. These settings 1 to 6 are provided in order to adjust the expected value of internal winnings such as bonuses and small roles at a game store. For example, a reset switch (not shown) and a setting key type switch (not shown) are provided. Used to change.

  For example, referring to the internal gaming state internal lottery table (RT0), the probability that the winning number “3” (abbreviated as “BB1 + common bell”) in setting 6 is 12/65536. When the winning number “3” is won, “12” is acquired as the small role / replay data pointer, and “1” is acquired as the bonus data pointer.

  The small character / replay data pointer “12” corresponds to the abbreviation “common bell”, and the bonus data pointer “1” corresponds to the abbreviation “BB1”. Accordingly, the winning number “3” from which the small character / replay data pointer “12” and the bonus data pointer “1” are acquired corresponds to the abbreviation “BB1 + common bell”.

  In addition, in the internal lottery table for general gaming state (RT0), the lottery values of the winning numbers “40” (abbreviation “maintenance & falling lip 1”) to “49” (abbreviation “lip in ART”) are “0”. . Therefore, when referring to the internal gaming state internal lottery table (RT0), the winning numbers “40” to “49” are not won.

  When the winning numbers “40” to “49” are won, “2” to “11” are acquired as the small role / replay data pointers, and “normal lip” and “control lip 1” to “control lip 1” to “ “Control Lip 3”, “RT2 Transition Lip 1” and “RT2 Transition Lip 2” are determined (see FIG. 24 described later). Therefore, in the RT0 gaming state, “RT2 transition lip 1” or “RT2 transition lip 2” is not determined as the internal winning combination, and the transition from the RT0 gaming state to the RT2 gaming state is not performed.

  FIG. 15 shows an internal lottery table for RT1 gaming state. The RT1 gaming state internal lottery table is a table that is referred to in the RT1 gaming state, and defines lottery values and data pointers according to the winning numbers "39" to "49". In the RT1 gaming state, the lottery value defined according to the winning numbers “39” to “49” in the internal lottery table for general gaming state (see FIG. 14) is the winning number in the internal lottery table for RT1 gaming state. The lottery value is changed according to “39” to “49”.

  For example, in the RT1 gaming state internal lottery table, the lottery values of the winning numbers “44” to “48” are “4679 (setting 1)”, respectively. When any of the small role / replay data pointers “6” to “10” defined according to the winning numbers “44” to “48” is acquired, “RT2 transition lip 1” and “ RT2 transition lip 2 "is determined. Therefore, in the RT1 gaming state, “RT2 transition lip 1” and “RT2 transition lip 2” may be determined as internal winning combinations, and the RT1 gaming state may transition to the RT2 gaming state.

  FIG. 16 shows an internal lottery table for RT2 gaming state. The RT2 gaming state internal lottery table is a table that is referred to in the RT2 gaming state, and defines lottery values and data pointers according to the winning numbers “39” to “49”. In the RT2 gaming state, the lottery value defined according to the winning numbers “39” to “49” of the internal lottery table for general gaming state (see FIG. 14) is the winning number of the internal lottery table for RT2 gaming state. The lottery value is changed according to “39” to “49”.

  For example, in the RT2 gaming state internal lottery table, the lottery value of the winning number “49” is “47951 (setting 1)”. When the small combination / replay data pointer “11” defined according to the winning number “49” is acquired, “normal lip”, “control lip 1” to “control lip 3” as internal winning combinations. Is determined.

  FIG. 17 shows an internal lottery table for the RT3 gaming state. The RT3 gaming state internal lottery table is a table that is referred to in the RT3 gaming state, and defines lottery values and data pointers according to the winning numbers “39” to “49”. In the RT3 gaming state, the lottery value defined according to the winning numbers “39” to “49” of the internal lottery table for the general gaming state (see FIG. 14) is the winning number of the RT3 gaming state internal lottery table. The lottery value is changed according to “39” to “49”.

  For example, in the RT3 gaming state internal lottery table, the lottery value of the winning number “49” is “19968 (setting 1)”. In addition, when the RT3 gaming state internal lottery table is referred to, the winning numbers “44” to “48” are not won. Therefore, in the RT3 gaming state, “RT2 transition lip 1” or “RT2 transition lip 2” is not determined as the internal winning combination, and the transition from the RT3 gaming state to the RT2 gaming state is not performed.

  FIG. 18 shows an internal lottery table for RT4 gaming state. The RT4 gaming state internal lottery table is a table that is referred to in the RT4 gaming state, and defines lottery values and data pointers according to the winning numbers "39" to "49". In the RT4 gaming state, the lottery value defined according to the winning numbers “39” to “49” in the general gaming state internal lottery table (see FIG. 14) is the winning number in the RT4 gaming state internal lottery table. The lottery value is changed according to “39” to “49”.

  FIG. 19 shows an internal lottery table for the RB1 gaming state. This internal lottery table for RB1 gaming state is a table that is referred to in the RB1 gaming state, and defines lottery values and data pointers according to the winning numbers “1” to “8”. For example, when referring to the internal lottery table for the RB1 gaming state, the probability that the winning number “1” (abbreviation “JAC0 (bell)”) is won is 53476/65536. Then, when the winning number “1” is won, “27” is acquired as the data pointer for the small role / replay.

  In the RB1 gaming state, when any of the winning numbers “1” to “8” is won, any one of “27” to “34” is acquired as the small role / replay data pointer. When any of the small combination / replay data pointers “27” to “34” is acquired, “Bell” is included in the determined internal winning combination. On the other hand, in the RB1 gaming state internal lottery table, the sum of the lottery values of the winning numbers “1” to “8” is “65536”. That is, in the RB1 gaming state, “bell” is always determined as the internal winning combination.

  FIG. 20 shows an internal lottery table for the RB2 gaming state. The internal lottery table for RB2 gaming state is a table that is referred to in the RB2 gaming state, and defines lottery values and data pointers according to the winning numbers “1” to “8”. When the internal lottery table for RB2 gaming state is referred to, the winning number “1” (abbreviation “JAC0 (bell)”) is always won, and “27” is acquired as the small role / replay data pointer.

  FIG. 21 shows an internal lottery table for RB3 / 4 gaming state. This internal lottery table for the RB3 / 4 gaming state is a table referred to in the RB3 gaming state and the RB4 gaming state, and defines lottery values and data pointers according to the winning numbers “1” to “5”. For example, when referring to the internal lottery table for the RB 3/4 gaming state, the probability that the winning number “1” (abbreviated as “JAC8 (don't miss single donkey)”) is 19968/65536. When the winning number “1” is won, “35” is acquired as the small role / replay data pointer.

  In the RB3 gaming state and the RB4 gaming state, when any of the winning numbers “1” to “5” is won, any one of “35” to “39” is acquired as the small role / replay data pointer. When any of the small combination / replay data pointers “35” to “39” is acquired, “bell” is included in the determined internal winning combination. On the other hand, the sum of lottery values defined according to the winning numbers “1” to “5” is “65024”. In other words, in the RB1 gaming state, “bell” is determined as an internal winning combination with a probability of 65024/65536, and becomes “lost” with a probability of 512/65536.

  FIG. 22 shows an internal lottery table for the SB gaming state. This SB gaming state internal lottery table is a table that is referred to in the SB gaming state, and defines lottery values and data pointers according to the winning number “50”. In the SB gaming state, the lottery value defined according to the winning number “50” of the internal lottery table for general gaming state (see FIG. 14) is set to the winning number “50” of the internal lottery table for SB gaming state. The lottery value is changed accordingly.

[Internal winning combination determination table]
Next, an internal winning combination determination table will be described with reference to FIGS. The internal winning combination determination table defines the correspondence between the data pointer and the internal winning combination. That is, when the small combination / replay data pointer and the bonus data pointer are determined, the internal winning combination is uniquely acquired.

  The “internal winning combination” in the internal winning combination determination table is data for identifying a combination of symbols on the left reel 3L, the middle reel 3C, and the right reel 3R that is permitted to be displayed along the active line. The “internal winning combination” is represented by 1-byte data in the same manner as the “display combination” in the symbol combination table shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, and a unique symbol for each bit in the 1-byte data. Are assigned. The “O” mark in the internal winning combination determination table indicates the internal winning combination to be won in the acquired data pointer.

  When the small combination / replay data pointer and bonus data pointer are “0”, the content of “internal winning combination” is “lost”, which is the symbol combination table shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. Indicates that display of all symbol combinations specified by is not permitted. Note that all symbol combinations defined by the symbol combination table shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 are “Don 1 control”, “Don 1 control”, “BB billy mid control”, “BB mid control”. The symbol combinations corresponding to “1 for control” to “5 for control during BB”, “1 for bell control”, and “2 for bell control” are excluded.

  FIG. 23 shows a bonus internal winning combination determination table. The bonus internal winning combination determination table defines internal winning combinations related to the operation of the bonus game for bonus data pointers “1” to “7”. That is, the bonus internal winning combination determination table defines the correspondence between the bonus data pointer and the internal winning combination related to the operation of the bonus game. As shown in FIG. 23, for example, when “2” is acquired as the bonus data pointer, “BB2” is determined as the internal winning combination.

  24 and 25 show a small combination / replay internal winning combination determination table. The small winning combination / replay internal winning combination determination table defines internal winning combinations related to small winning combinations and replay (replay) for “1” to “39” of the small winning combination / replay data pointer. That is, the small winning combination / replay internal winning combination determination table defines the correspondence between the small winning combination / replay data pointer and the internal winning combination related to the payout of medals or the internal winning combination related to the operation of the replay.

  FIG. 26 shows a correspondence table between the small combination / replay data pointer and the internal winning combination. This correspondence table defines a correspondence relationship between a small combination / replay data pointer, an abbreviation, and an internal winning combination.

  For example, when “2” is acquired as the data pointer for the small combination / replay, “normal lip” and “control lip 1” are duplicated as the internal winning combination. When “6” is acquired as the small combination / replay data pointer, “normal lip”, “RT2 transition lip 1”, and “RT2 transition lip 2” are duplicated as internal winning combinations.

[Cylinder stop number selection table]
Next, with reference to FIG. 27, the rotating cylinder stop number selection table will be described. The rotation stop number selection table defines the correspondence between the small role / replay data pointer and the rotation stop number. The rotation stop number is data used when acquiring various data required in the reel stop initial setting process described later.

  The rotation stop number selection table of the present embodiment defines a different rotation stop number for each small role / replay data pointer. For example, when the data pointer for the small role / replay is “3”, the spinning stop number “3” is selected.

  In addition, although the number selection table for rotation stop of this embodiment prescribes | regulates a different rotation stop number for every data pointer for small roles and replays, this invention is not limited to this. In the spinning stop number selection table according to the present invention, the same spinning stop number may be defined for different small role / replay data pointers to reduce data.

[Reel stop initial setting table]
Next, the reel stop initial setting table will be described with reference to FIG. The reel stop initial setting table defines a correspondence relationship between the rotation stop number and various data used in a pull-in priority table selection process described later and a number of sliding pieces determination process of each reel described later. Specifically, the reel stop initial setting table includes the rotation stop number, the pull-in priority table selection table number, the pull-in priority table number, the forward push table selection data, the forward push table change data, and the forward push push The correspondence relationship between the table change initial data and the table selection data at the time of irregular pressing is defined.

  The pull-in priority table selection table number and the pull-in priority table number are data used for the pull-in priority table selection process. For example, in the reel stop initial setting table, if a pull-in priority table number corresponding to the turning stop number is defined, it corresponds to the pull-in priority table number defined in the pull-in priority table (see FIG. 34). Data relating to the priority order of the display combination can be acquired.

  In addition, in the reel stop initial setting table, if the pull-in priority table number corresponding to the turn stop number is not specified, the pull-in priority table selection is made with reference to the pull-in priority table selection table (see FIG. 33). A pull-in priority table number corresponding to the table number is determined.

  The forward selection table selection data, the forward push table change data, and the forward push table change initial data are used to designate a stop table (see FIGS. 29 and 31) to be referred to when the forward push is performed. It is data. The “forward push” in the present embodiment is a stop operation when the first stop operation (first stop operation) is performed on the left reel 3L. Corresponds to the order of pressing “Right” and “Middle”.

  The irregular pressing table selection data is data for designating a stop table (see FIG. 32) to be referred to when irregular pressing is performed. In this embodiment, “anomalous push” is a stop operation when the first stop operation is performed on the middle reel 3C or the right reel 3R, and is “middle left / right”, “middle right / left”, “middle right”. This corresponds to the pressing order of “left” and “middle right”.

  In the present embodiment, basically, after the stop operation is detected by the stop switch 17S, the rotation of the corresponding reel is stopped within 190 msec. Specifically, one of the number of sliding symbols “0” to “4” is added to the value of the symbol counter corresponding to the reel when the stop operation is detected, and the value obtained corresponds to the value obtained. The symbol position is determined as the symbol position at which the reel rotation stops (this is referred to as “scheduled stop position”). The symbol position corresponding to the value of the symbol counter corresponding to the reel when the stop operation is detected is the symbol position at which the rotation of the reel starts to be stopped, and this is referred to as a “stop start position”.

  In other words, the number of sliding pieces is the amount of rotation of the reel from when the stop operation is detected by the stop switch 17S until the rotation of the corresponding reel stops. In other words, the number of symbols passing through the middle stage area of the corresponding reel of the display window 4 in the period from when the stop operation is detected by the stop switch 17S until the rotation of the corresponding reel stops. This is grasped by the value of the symbol counter updated after the stop operation is detected by the stop switch 17S.

  Referring to the stop table, the number of sliding pieces is acquired according to the stop start position of each reel. In the present embodiment, the number of sliding pieces is acquired based on the stop table, but this is a tentative one, and the acquired number of sliding pieces does not immediately determine the planned stop position of the reel.

  In the present embodiment, when there is an appropriate number of sliding pieces than the number of sliding pieces acquired based on a stop table described later (hereinafter referred to as “sliding piece number determination data”), a pull-in priority table described later The number of sliding pieces is changed with reference to (see FIG. 34). The sliding piece number determination data is referred to in order to determine a search order when the priorities are compared for each of the symbols from the stop start position to the 4th symbol position that is the maximum number of sliding symbols.

  In the present embodiment, the stop table to be referenced is properly used according to the forward push and the irregular push. In the case of the forward push, the first stop table (see FIG. 29) at the time of the forward push and the second and third stop stop tables (see FIG. 31) at the time of the forward push are referred to. On the other hand, in the case of irregular pressing, the irregular pressing stop table (see FIG. 32) is referred to.

[Stop table for first stop when pushing forward]
Next, with reference to FIG. 29, the first stop table for forward pressing will be described. The forward stop first stop table shown in FIG. 29 is referred to when the forward push table selection data is “01”. The first stop table at the time of forward pressing defines the correspondence relationship between the stop start positions “0” to “20” of the left reel 3L, the number of sliding pieces determination data, and the change status.

  For example, if the stop start position of the left reel 3L is “15”, the number-of-sliding piece determination data is “0”, and the change status is “1”. The change status is used when referring to a forward pressing control change table (see FIG. 30) described later.

[Control change table when pressing forward]
Next, with reference to FIG. 30, the forward change control change table will be described. The forward pressing control change table defines the correspondence between the change target position (scheduled stop position of the left reel 3L), the change status, the change status, and the second and third stop table numbers for forward pressing.

For example, when the change status acquired based on the first stop table (see FIG. 29) at the time of the forward press is “1” and the planned stop position of the left reel 3L is “15”, the change status is “ The stop table number for the second and third stops is “12” at the time of forward pressing.
In the forward push control change table, if the change status and the second and third stop stop table numbers for forward push are not registered in the target position, the stop table number is not changed.

[Stop table for 2nd and 3rd stop when pushing forward and stop table when pushing irregularly]
Next, with reference to FIGS. 31 and 32, the second and third stop tables for forward pressing and the stop table for irregular pressing will be described. The stop table for the second and third stops and the stop table for irregularity when pushing forward define 1-byte stop data according to each of the symbol positions “0” to “20”.

  31 is referred to when the second / third stop table for stoppage is “08”. The irregular pressing stop table shown in FIG. 32 is referred to when the irregular pressing table selection data is “07”.

  In the stop data specified by the stop tables of the second and third stop tables at the time of forward pressing and the stop table at the time of irregularity, is the symbol position associated with the stop data appropriate as the position at which the rotation of the reel is stopped? Has information on whether or not. The stop data includes information indicating whether or not the corresponding symbol position is appropriate as a position to stop the rotation of the reel, the bit corresponding to the “A line” column and the “B line” column in each stop table. Assign to the bit corresponding to. The stop data is defined by assigning information about which of these two types of information should be adopted to the bit corresponding to the “line change” column in each stop table.

  In other words, the second and third stop tables for stoppages and the stop table for anomalies at the time of forward pressing define a plurality of methods for determining the position at which the rotation of the reel is stopped. Therefore, even if the stop start position is the same symbol position, the position where the reel rotation is stopped can be varied based on the stop position at the time of the first stop. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to compress information.

  The determination of the number of sliding piece determination data is performed as follows. First, it is specified which of the eight bit strings (the data in the leftmost column in the figure corresponds to bit 1) constituting the stop data is referred to according to the type of the stop button in which the stop operation is detected. For example, when the middle stop button 17C is pressed, a column of “middle reel A line data” of bit 4 is designated.

  Then, referring to the designated bit string, a search is sequentially performed as to whether or not “1” is defined as the corresponding data for each symbol position from the stop start position to the range of the maximum number of sliding symbols. As a result of this search, the difference from the stop start position to the symbol position where “1” is defined as the corresponding data is calculated, and this difference is used as the number of sliding piece determination data.

  Whether or not the bit string to be referred to is changed from the “A line” column to the “B line” column refers to the “line change” column and “1” is defined in the data corresponding to the stop start position. It is determined by whether or not. When it is determined that the line is to be changed, the column “B line” is designated thereafter, and the above search is performed.

[Pull-in priority table selection table]
Next, the pull-in priority table selection table will be described with reference to FIG. The pull-in priority table selection table defines the correspondence between the pull-in priority table selection table number and stop button pressing order, and the pull-in priority table number in each combination.
The pull-in priority table number is data for acquiring information related to the priority of the display combination defined in the pull-in priority table (see FIG. 34).

  When the left reel 3L is stopped for the first time, the data in the “left reel first stop” column in the pull-in priority table selection table is referred to. For example, when the left reel 3L is stopped for the first time and the drawing priority table selection table number is “2”, “03” is acquired as the drawing priority table number. When the middle reel 3C is pressed in the second stop, the pull-in priority table number is changed from “03” to “02”. On the other hand, when the left reel 3L is stopped for the first time and the drawing priority table selection table number is “2”, when the right reel 3R is pressed in the second stop, the drawing priority table number is changed from “03” to “ Change to 00 ".

  Further, in the pull-in priority table selection table, when the pull-in priority table number is not registered at the target position, the number shown in the right column of the right reel first stop column is the pull-in priority table number. Get as. For example, when the left reel 3L is stopped for the first time and the drawing priority table selection table number is “10”, when the right reel 3R is pressed in the second stop, the drawing priority table number is registered at the target position. Not. Therefore, in this case, the right-hand column of the first reel first stop column corresponding to the pull-in priority table selection table number “10” is referred to, and “00” is acquired as the pull-in priority table number.

[Pull-in priority table]
Next, the drawing priority table will be described with reference to FIG. The pull-in priority table defines the correspondence between the pull-in data for each storage area type and the predetermined priority in each of the pull-in priority table numbers “00” to “04”.

  The pull-in priority order table is used for searching whether there is a more appropriate number of sliding pieces in addition to the number of sliding pieces obtained based on the stop table. The priority order is data that defines the order of priority stop display (drawn) between the types of symbol combinations related to winning. Each pull-in data is similar to “Internal winning combination” in the internal winning combination determination table shown in FIGS. 23 to 25 and “Display combination” in the symbol combination table shown in FIGS. 8 and 9. It is represented by byte data, and a unique symbol combination is assigned to each bit in the one-byte data.

  In the present embodiment, first, the number of sliding pieces is acquired based on the above-described first stop table for first stop (see FIG. 29). However, when there is a more appropriate number of sliding pieces in addition to the number of sliding pieces, the number is changed to the appropriate number of sliding pieces. In other words, in the present embodiment, a more appropriate number of sliding symbols is determined based on the priority of the combination of symbols that allow the stop display by the internal winning combination regardless of the number of sliding symbols acquired from the stop table.

  In the present embodiment, the stop display (withdrawal) of the symbol combination corresponding to the internal winning combination having the higher priority is prioritized over the stop display of the symbol combination corresponding to the internal winning combination having the lower priority. To be done.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 34, not only the priority order of the internal winning combination differs depending on the pull-in priority order table number, but also the number of priority divisions differs. Specifically, when the pull-in priority table number is “00” and “02”, the number of priority divisions is four, and when the pull-in priority table number is “01”, the priority The number of categories is 1. When the pull-in priority table number is “03”, the priority division number is 6. When the pull-in priority table number is “04”, the priority division number is 1. .

  Here, in order to simplify the description, the priority when the pull-in priority table number is “00” will be described, and description of priorities in other pull-in priority table numbers will be omitted.

In the priority “1” when the pull-in priority table number is “00”, pull-in data corresponding to “normal lip”, “bell”, and “don 2 control” is defined.
The priority “2” when the pull-in priority table number is “00” includes “normal lip”, “control lip 1” to “control lip 3”, “RT2 transition lip 1”, “RT2 transition”. Pull-in data corresponding to “Lip 2”, “Ice”, “Bell”, and “Don 1 control” is defined.

  The priority “3” when the pull-in priority table number is “00” includes “normal lip”, “control lip 1” to “control lip 3”, “RT2 transition lip 1”, “RT2 transition”. "Lip 2", "Ice", "Cherry 1" to "Cherry 9", "Bell", "One piece", "Don 1 control", "BB medium control 2", and "BB medium control" The pull-in data corresponding to “4” is defined.

  When the pull-in priority table number is “00”, the priority “4” includes “BB1” to “BB4”, “PB1” to “PB4”, “SB”, “normal lip”, “control lip”. 1 "to" Control Lip 3 "," RT2 Transition Lip 1 "," RT2 Transition Lip 2 "," Bell "," BB & Billy Medium Utility 1 ", and" BB Medium Control 4 " Data is defined.

  For example, “normal lip” is defined for the priority “1” when the pull-in priority table number is “00”, and “normal lip” is also defined for the priority “2”. That is, some internal winning combinations are defined in both the priority “1” and the priority “2”. As described above, the internal winning combination defined in both the priority “1” and the priority “2” has a higher priority than the internal winning combination defined only in the priority “1”. Thereby, the number of priorities can be reduced.

[Search order table]
Next, the search order table will be described with reference to FIG. The search order table preferentially applies from the range of numerical values predetermined as the number of sliding frames (“0” to “4” when the maximum number of sliding frames is 4) (hereinafter referred to as “search order”). ").

  The search order table defines the sliding piece number determination data obtained based on the stop table and the search order. That is, in this embodiment, the order of numerical values to be preferentially applied is determined based on the sliding piece number determination data. In addition, the search order table is provided assuming that there are a plurality of sliding frames having the same priority, and the search order table is applied in a higher order.

  In the present embodiment, as described in the priority attraction-in control process in FIG. 168 described later, each numerical value is searched sequentially from the lower search order “5” in the search order table, and the search order “1” is supported. The number of sliding frames is preferentially applied from the numerical value to be used.

[Game lock lottery table]
Next, the game lock lottery table will be described with reference to FIGS.
The game lock lottery table defines the lottery value of the type of game lock (game lock type) to be won according to the data pointer determined by the internal lottery in the general gaming state or the RT1-4 gaming state. The game lock in the present embodiment is generated during the game. While the game lock is occurring, even if a closing operation or a stopping operation is performed, the detection is treated as invalid or delayed.

  In the game lock lottery processing according to the present embodiment, basically, a random number value for production (random denominator = 65536) extracted from a predetermined numerical range “0 to 65535” is defined according to each game lock type. Subtract sequentially with the lottery values. And then. The lottery is performed by determining whether the result of the subtraction is negative (whether a so-called “digit” has occurred). That is, the player has won the game lock when the subtraction result is less than 0.

  FIG. 36 shows a game lock lottery table (part 1). In this game lock lottery table (part 1), the bonus data pointer is any one of “0” to “4”, and the small role / replay data pointer is any one of “0” and “18” to “25”. In this case, the lottery value that “game lock 1” to “game lock 8” wins is defined.

  When the bonus data pointer is “0” and the small role / replay data pointer is “0”, the random number denominator is set to “4294967296 (65536) in the game lock lottery process described later (see FIG. 157). Change to "squared". Therefore, when the bonus data pointer is “0” and the small role / replay data pointer is “0”, “game lock 4” is won with a probability of 35840/429294967296.

  FIG. 37 shows a game lock lottery table (No. 2). In this game lock lottery table (No. 2), any one of “BB1” to “BB4” is a carryover combination, and the data pointer for small role / replay is any of “0” and “18” to “25”. In this case, the lottery value that “game lock 1” to “game lock 8” wins is defined. For example, when any one of “BB1” to “BB4” is a carryover combination and the data pointer for small role / replay is “0”, “game lock 5” wins with a probability of 256/65536. .

Next, “game lock 1” to “game lock 8” according to the present embodiment will be described.
When “game lock 1” is executed, a game lock of 49000 ms occurs when the start lever 16 is operated (lever on).
When “game lock 2” is executed, a game lock of 51000 ms is generated in response to the first stop operation.
When “game lock 3” is executed, a game lock of 51000 ms is generated in response to the second stop operation.
When “game lock 4” is executed, a game lock of 51000 ms is generated in response to the third stop operation.

When “game lock 5” is executed, a game lock of 3000 ms occurs at the start of rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R. During the game lock, the first reel effect using the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is executed.
In the first reel effect, first, all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R are vibrated for 1000 ms, and the right reel 3R is rotated forward by 1000 ms at a lower rotational speed than usual. Thereafter, all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R are vibrated for 1000 ms, and the process ends. When the first reel effect is finished, the reels 3L, 3C, 3R rotate forward at a normal rotation speed.

  The “vibration” of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is an operation that makes the reels 3L, 3C, 3R appear to vibrate by repeating forward and reverse rotations of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R at high speed. is there.

When “game lock 6” is executed, a game lock of 5000 ms occurs at the start of rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R. While the game lock is occurring, the second reel effect using the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is executed.
In the second reel effect, after executing the same reel effect as the first reel effect, the middle reel 3C and the right reel 3R are rotated forward by 1000 ms at a rotation speed slower than usual. Thereafter, all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R are vibrated for 1000 ms, and the process ends. When the second reel effect is finished, the reels 3L, 3C, 3R rotate forward at a normal rotation speed.

When “game lock 7” is executed, a game lock of 7000 ms occurs at the start of rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R. While the game lock is occurring, the third reel effect using the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is executed.
In the third reel effect, after executing the same reel effect as the second reel effect, all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R are rotated forward by 1000 ms at a rotation speed slower than usual. Thereafter, all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R are vibrated for 1000 ms, and the process ends. When the third reel effect is finished, the reels 3L, 3C, 3R rotate forward at a normal rotation speed.

When “game lock 8” is executed, a game lock of 10000 ms occurs at the start of rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R. Then, while the “game lock 8” is generated, the fourth reel effect using the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is executed.
The fourth reel effect is completed by performing the same reel effect as the third reel effect and then rotating all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R reversely at a normal rotation speed for 3000 ms. When the fourth reel effect is finished, the reels 3L, 3C, 3R rotate forward at a normal rotation speed.

[Pattern winning action flag data table]
Next, the symbol corresponding winning action flag data table will be described with reference to FIG.
The symbol corresponding winning action flag data table defines the correspondence between the reel type and the internal winning combination data that can be displayed according to the symbol of each reel displayed on the winning determination line. That is, by referring to the symbol corresponding winning action flag data table, the internal winning combination that can be displayed at that time can be determined. The symbol corresponding winning action flag data table is provided corresponding to the symbol combination table (see FIGS. 8 and 9).

  For example, when the symbol “Don 2” is stopped and displayed on the winning determination line of the left reel 3L, in the storage areas 1 to 11 corresponding to the symbol code “00000001” (Don 2) in the reel type “Left”, “1” is stored in a bit corresponding to a displayable internal winning combination. Data defined in the symbol corresponding winning action flag data table is logically AND stored with data stored in a symbol code storage area (see FIG. 43) described later.

<Configuration of storage area provided in main RAM>
Next, the configuration of various storage areas provided in the main RAM 53 will be described with reference to FIGS. Although not described here (not shown), the main RAM 53 is also provided with storage areas for various control data, various flags, various counters and the like used for the various reel effects described above.

[Display combination storage area]
First, the configuration of the display combination storing area will be described with reference to FIG. In the present embodiment, the display combination storage area includes display combination storage areas 1 to 11 each represented by 1-byte data.

  In each of the display combination storage areas 1 to 11, when a predetermined bit is set to “1” (stored), a combination of symbols corresponding to the predetermined bit is displayed on the active line. Indicates. On the other hand, when all the bits are “0”, it indicates that the symbol combination related to winning is not displayed on the active line.

  The main RAM 53 is provided with an internal winning combination storing area (not shown). The internal winning combination storing area is configured similarly to the display winning combination storing area shown in FIG. In the internal winning combination storing areas 1 to 11, when “1” stands for a plurality of bits, display of a combination of symbols respectively corresponding to each bit is permitted. When all the bits are “0”, the content of the internal winning combination is “lost”.

  The main RAM 53 is provided with a carryover combination storage area (not shown). As a result of the internal lottery, when “BB1” to “BB4” and “PB1” to “PB4” are determined as internal winning combinations, the internal winning combinations are stored as carryover combinations in the carryover combination storage area. The carryover combination stored in the carryover combination storage area is cleared until the corresponding symbol combination (for example, “Don 2”-“Don 1”-“Don 1” of “BB1”) is displayed on the winning determination line. It is kept without being. While the carryover combination is stored in the carryover combination storage area, the carryover combination is stored in the internal winning combination storage area in addition to the internal winning combination determined by the internal lottery.

[Game state flag storage area]
Next, the configuration of the game state flag storage area will be described with reference to FIG.
The gaming state flag storage area is composed of gaming state flag storage areas 1 and 2 each represented by 1-byte data. In the present embodiment, in the game state flag, a unique bonus type or RT type is assigned to each bit of the game state flag storage areas 1 and 2.

  In each of the game state flag storage areas 1 and 2, when “1” is stored (standing) in a predetermined bit, the bonus game or RT corresponding to the predetermined bit is being operated. Indicates. For example, when “1” is stored in bit 0 of the gaming state flag storage area 1, the operation of “BB1” is performed, and the state is the BB1 gaming state.

[Operation stop button storage area]
Next, the configuration of the operation stop button storage area will be described with reference to FIG.
The operation stop button storage area stores an operation stop button flag consisting of 1 byte. In the operation stop button flag, the operation state of the stop button is assigned to each bit.

  For example, if the left stop button 17L is a stop button that has been pressed this time, that is, an operation stop button, “1” is stored in bit 0 of the operation stop button storage area. Also, for example, if the left stop button 17L is a stop button that has not yet been pressed, that is, an effective stop button, “1” is stored in bit 4. Based on the data stored in the operation stop button storage area, the main CPU 51 identifies a stop button that has been pressed this time and a stop button that has not yet been pressed.

[Push order storage area]
Next, the configuration of the pressing order storage area will be described with reference to FIG.
The pressing order storage area stores a pressing order flag consisting of 1 byte. In the pressing order flag, the type of stop button pressing order is assigned to each bit. For example, when the pressing order of the stop button is “left middle right”, “1” is stored in bit 0 of the pressing order storage area.

[Design code storage area]
Next, the configuration of the symbol code storage area will be described with reference to FIG. In the symbol code storage area, for each activated line, the symbol code (symbol code storage region 1) of the symbol of the reel that has been stopped most recently and a displayable role (symbol code storage region 2 and later) are stored. . After all the reels are stopped, the symbol code corresponding to the display combination is stored after the symbol code storage area 2.

  In this embodiment, when the stop control position is determined, the winning operation flag data corresponding to the symbol (code) of the stop control position is read from the symbol corresponding winning operation flag data table (see FIG. 38), and the winning operation flag is read out. The data is ANDed with the data already stored in the symbol code storage area. Then, the ANDed data is stored in the symbol code storage area shown in FIG. When a plurality of effective lines are provided, the same number of symbol code storage areas as the number of effective lines are provided. In the present embodiment, the number of effective lines is changed according to the number of inserted medals, and the maximum number of effective lines is 6. For this reason, a number of symbol code storage areas corresponding to six active lines are provided.

[Retrieve priority data storage area]
Next, the configuration of the pull-in priority data storage area will be described with reference to FIG. The pull-in priority data storage area includes a left reel pull-in priority data storage area, a middle reel pull-in priority data storage area, and a right reel pull-in priority data storage area. That is, in the pull-in priority data storage area, a priority data storage area is provided for each reel type.

  Each drawing priority data storage area stores drawing priority data determined in accordance with each symbol position “0” to “20” of the corresponding reel. In the present embodiment, by referring to the pull-in priority data storage area, it is searched whether there is a more appropriate number of sliding symbols in addition to the number of sliding symbols determined based on the stop table described above.

  The contents of the priority order pull-in data stored in the pull-in priority order data storage area differ depending on the type of the pull-in priority table number in the pull-in priority table (see FIG. 34) referred to when determining the pull-in priority order data. . The pull-in priority data indicates that the higher the value, the higher the priority.

  By referring to the drawing priority data, it is possible to relatively evaluate the priority among the symbols arranged on the peripheral surface of the reel. That is, the symbol for which the largest value is determined as the pull-in priority data becomes the symbol with the highest priority. Therefore, it can be said that the pull-in priority data indicates the rank between the symbols arranged on the peripheral surface of the reel. When there are a plurality of symbols with the same value of the pull-in priority data, one symbol is determined according to the search order defined by the above-described search order table (see FIG. 35).

  Although detailed description is omitted in this specification, the sub ROM 82 also stores various table data (for example, a navigation table) necessary for various rendering operations, and the sub RAM 83 also includes various storage areas. Is provided as appropriate.

[Game lock flag storage area]
Next, the configuration of the game lock flag storage area will be described with reference to FIG.
The game lock flag storage area is composed of game lock flag storage areas 1 each represented by 1-byte data. In the present embodiment, a unique lock number is assigned to each bit of the game lock flag storage area 1 in the game lock flag.

  In this embodiment, when a game lock type is determined with reference to a lock lottery table (see FIGS. 36 and 37), a lock number corresponding to the game lock type is stored in the game lock flag storage area. For example, when the determined game lock type is game lock “1”, “1” is stored in bit 0 of the game lock flag storage area 1.

<Game state transition flow>
Next, with reference to FIG. 46, the transition flow of the gaming state between “RT0 gaming state” to “RT4 gaming state”, “BB gaming state” and “PB gaming state” controlled by the main CPU 51 will be described.

  As described above, in the pachislot machine 1 of the present embodiment, five types of game states of “RT0 game state” to “RT4 game state” are provided as RT game states. Then, the main control circuit 41 (main CPU 51) refers to the RT transition table (see FIG. 12), and selects between “RT0 gaming state” to “RT3 gaming state”, “BB gaming state”, and “PB gaming state”. Control transitions.

  First, at the time of shipment or at the end of “BB”, the gaming state becomes “RT0 gaming state”. Next, in the “RT0 gaming state”, when a combination of symbols related to any of “single spilling eye 1” to “single spilling eye 18” is displayed on the winning determination line, the gaming state is “RT0 gaming state”. ”To“ RT1 gaming state ”.

In the “RT1 gaming state”, when a combination of symbols related to “RT2 transition lip 1” or “RT2 transition lip 2” (see FIG. 8) is displayed on the winning determination line, the gaming state is “RT1 gaming state”. “Status” shifts to “RT2 gaming state”.
In “RT1 gaming state”, any one of “Lip Transition 1” to “Lip Transition 12”, “Bell Transition 1” to “Bell Transition 10”, and “Control Lip 1” to “Control Lip 3” When the symbol combination related to the above is displayed on the winning determination line, the gaming state shifts from “RT1 gaming state” to “RT0 gaming state”.

In the “RT2 gaming state (for increased ART)”, when a combination of symbols related to any of “Bell transition eye 1” to “Bell transition eye 10” is displayed on the winning determination line, the gaming state is “ Transition from “RT2 gaming state” to “RT0 gaming state”.
In addition, in the “RT2 gaming state (for increased ART)”, when a combination of symbols related to any of “single spilling eye 1” to “single spilling eye 18” is displayed on the winning determination line, the gaming state is , “RT2 gaming state” shifts to “RT1 gaming state”.

  When “PB1” to “PB4” are determined as internal winning combinations (“PB1” to “PB4” are won), if the gaming state is an RT gaming state other than “RT0 gaming state”, the gaming state is: Transition from the RT gaming state other than the “RT0 gaming state” to the “RT0 gaming state”. On the other hand, if “PB1” to “PB4” are determined as the internal winning combination, if it is “RT0 gaming state”, the gaming state is not changed and “RT0 gaming state” is continuously executed.

  When the symbol combination corresponding to “PB1” to “PB4” is displayed on the winning determination line, the “PB gaming state” is activated. Thereafter, when the operation of “PB gaming state” ends, the gaming state shifts to “RT3 gaming state”.

In the “RT3 gaming state”, when a combination of symbols related to any of “Bell transition eye 1” to “Bell transition eye 10” is displayed on the winning determination line, the gaming state is changed from “RT3 gaming state”. Transition to “RT0 gaming state”.
Further, in the “RT3 gaming state”, when a combination of symbols related to any of “single spilling eye 1” to “single spilling eye 18” is displayed on the winning determination line, the gaming state is “RT3 gaming state”. ”To“ RT1 gaming state ”. Furthermore, when the “RT3 gaming state” is consumed by a predetermined number of games (“100G (game)” in the present embodiment), the gaming state shifts from the “RT3 gaming state” to the “RT1 gaming state”.

  In the “RT0 gaming state” to the “RT3 gaming state”, when any of the internal winning combinations “BB1” to “BB4” is being carried over, the current gaming state is shifted to the “RT4 gaming state”. When the symbol combination corresponding to any of “BB1” to “BB4” is displayed on the winning determination line, the gaming state becomes “BB gaming state”. Thereafter, when the operation of any one of “BB1” to “BB4” is completed, the gaming state transitions from “BB gaming state” to “RT0 gaming state”.

  In the present embodiment, when the execution of ART is determined in the RT0 gaming state, the stop order for displaying the symbol combination corresponding to “SB spilling” on the winning determination line (first stop of the right reel ( Display auxiliary information)) is notified. In addition, in the RT1 gaming state, when the execution of ART is determined, the stop order for displaying the symbol combination corresponding to “RT2 transition lip 1” or “RT2 transition lip 2” on the winning determination line ( Display auxiliary information) is notified. When the symbol combination corresponding to “RT2 transition lip 1” or “RT2 transition lip 2” is displayed on the winning determination line, the gaming state transitions from “RT1 gaming state” to “RT2 gaming state”. .

  In the present embodiment, the “RT1 gaming state” directly shifts to the “RT2 gaming state”. On the other hand, there is no direct transition from the “RT0 gaming state” to the “RT2 gaming state”. In order to shift from “RT0 gaming state” to “RT2 gaming state”, first, “RT0 gaming state” shifts to “RT1 gaming state”, and then “RT1 gaming state” shifts to “RT2 gaming state”. .

  In the “RT1 gaming state” and the “RT2 gaming state”, the probability (high probability) that the internal winning combination related to replay (replay) is won is the internal winning combination related to replay (replaying) in the “RT0 gaming state”. Is higher than the probability of winning (low probability). Therefore, in this embodiment, the “RT0 gaming state (low RT gaming state)” is directly shifted to the “RT1 gaming state (high RT gaming state)”.

  The “RT1 gaming state” in the present embodiment is an RT gaming state for providing a stage between “RT0 gaming state (low RT gaming state)” and “RT2 gaming state (high RT gaming state)”. . In other words, in the “RT1 gaming state”, the internal winning combination (“2” of the small role / replay data pointer “2” to “RT0 gaming state (low RT gaming state)” or “RT1 gaming state” is determined to be maintained. The probability that “5”) is determined is higher than “general (RT0) gaming state”. Therefore, it is difficult to stay in the “RT1 gaming state” unless the stop order (display auxiliary information) for displaying the combination of symbols determined to maintain the “RT1 gaming state” on the winning determination line is notified. If it becomes difficult to stay in the “RT1 gaming state”, the transition of the “RT2 gaming state (high RT gaming state)” becomes difficult.

  In the present embodiment, when the operations of “PB1” to “PB4” with a small number of obtained medal game media are completed, the gaming state is shifted to the “RT3 gaming state”. The “RT3 gaming state” has a higher probability (low probability) of winning the internal winning combination related to replay (replay) than the “RT0 gaming state”. As a result, when the operations of “PB1” to “PB4” are finished, the internal winning combination relating to replay (replay) is easily determined, and after the operations of “PB1” to “PB4” are finished, The medals obtained by the operations of “PB1” to “PB4” can be prevented from being consumed quickly, and the player can be prevented from feeling uncomfortable.

  On the other hand, when the operations of “BB1” to “BB4” with a large number of obtained medal game media are completed, the gaming state is changed to “RT0 gaming state”. Thereby, the operation of “BB1” to “BB4” and the “RT1 gaming state” in which the insertion of medals or the possibility of gradually acquiring medals can be prevented from continuing. As a result, the medal payout can be made swift.

  Note that “RT0 gaming state” indicates the first gaming state according to the present invention. Further, “RT3 gaming state” indicates the second gaming state according to the present invention, and “RT1 gaming state” indicates the third gaming state according to the present invention. In the “RT0 gaming state (low RT gaming state)”, medals held by the player gradually decrease, and in the “RT3 gaming state (medium RT gaming state)”, the decrease in medals held by the player is suppressed or prevented. Is done. Further, in the “RT1 gaming state (high RT gaming state)”, medals may gradually increase, and in the “RT2 gaming state (high RT gaming state)”, medals gradually increase.

[Correspondence table of internal winning combination and stop order]
Next, the correspondence between the internal winning combination and the stop order will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 47 is a correspondence table between internal winning combinations and stop orders, and shows the types of display combinations corresponding to the stop orders.

  The “normal lip” described in FIG. 47 indicates a display combination related to re-playing regardless of the transition between the RT0 gaming state and the RT2 gaming state. Specifically, a combination of symbols “Replay”-“Replay”-“Replay” is displayed along the winning determination line. On the other hand, in the “normal lip (+ lip transition)”, a combination of symbols “Replay”-“Replay”-“Replay” is displayed along the cross-down line, and “ The combination of symbols related to the “lip transition” is stopped and displayed.

  “RT2 transition lip” indicates a display combination in which transition to the RT2 gaming state (ART state) is determined. Specifically, a combination of symbols “bell”-“cherry”-“bell” corresponding to “RT2 transition lip 1”, or “bell”-“lower billy”-corresponding to “RT2 transition lip 2” — The combination of symbols “Bell” is stopped and displayed.

  “Bell” displays a bell symbol in the middle area of the middle reel 3C. In this case, if the number of inserted medals is “3”, the combination of symbols “ANY”-“Bell”-“ANY” is along the center line, cross-down line, and cross-up line (total of 3 lines). Is displayed. Therefore, when the combination of symbols related to “BELL” shown in FIG. 47 is stopped and displayed, the payout becomes “12”.

  On the other hand, “bell (+ bell transition)” displays a bell symbol in the lower area of the middle reel 3C, and displays a combination of symbols related to “bell transition” along the other winning determination lines. The If the number of inserted medals is “3” in this case, the combination of symbols “ANY”-“Bell”-“ANY” is stopped along the bottom line (one line). Therefore, in the stop mode relating to “Bell (+ Bell Transition Eye)” shown in FIG. 47, the payout is “4”.

  In the present embodiment, the pressing order is set for the success or failure of the stop display of various symbol combinations related to “normal lip”, “RT2 transition lip”, and “bell”.

For example, when the small combination / replay data pointer is “2”, “normal lip” and “control lip 1” are won as internal winning combinations. In this case, on the condition that the stop order by the pressing operation of the stop buttons 17L, 17C, and 17R is “left middle right” or “left and right middle”, the stop mode is related to “normal lip”. The stop mode related to “normal lip” in the present embodiment excludes a combination of symbols corresponding to “normal lip” displayed along the cross-down line 8e.
On the other hand, when the stop order is “middle left / right”, “middle right / left”, “right / left middle”, and “right middle / left”, the stop mode is related to “normal lip (+ lip transition)”.

When the small combination / replay data pointer is “8”, “normal lip”, “control lip 2”, “RT2 transition lip 1” and “RT2 transition lip 2” are won as internal winning combinations. In this case, the combination of symbols corresponding to “RT2 transition lip 1” or “RT2 transition lip 2” is stopped on the condition that the stop order by pressing the stop buttons 17L, 17C, and 17R is “middle left and right”. Is displayed.
On the other hand, if the stop order is “Left / Right / Right”, “Right / Left / Right”, “Right / Left / Right”, “Right / Left / Right”, or “Right / Left / Right”, the symbol combination corresponding to “Normal Lip” is stopped. Is done.

When the small combination / replay data pointer is “16”, “bell”, “cherry 4”, “bell control 1”, and “bell control 2” are won as internal winning combinations. In this case, the combination of symbols related to “bell” is stopped and displayed on condition that the stop order by pressing the stop buttons 17L, 17C, and 17R is “middle right”.
On the other hand, if the stop order is “left middle right”, “left / right middle”, “middle left / right”, “middle right / left” and “right middle left”, the symbol related to “bell (+ bell transition eye)” The combination is stopped.

  That is, a game advantageous to the player by the player executing the stop sequence surrounded by the thick solid line in FIG. 47 set in each of the small role / replay data pointers “2” to “17”. It becomes possible to shift to the state. Note that the “advantageous gaming state” here means the RT2 gaming state (for increased ART) in the end.

[Correspondence table of internal winning combination, stop order and RT transition]
Next, with reference to FIG. 48, a correspondence relationship between the internal winning combination, the stop order, and the RT transition will be described.
FIG. 48 is a correspondence table of the internal winning combination, stop order, and RT transition, and shows the transition destination of the RT gaming state according to the stop order.

  For example, when the small role / replay data pointer is “2”, the combination of symbols related to “normal lip” is stopped and displayed on condition that the stop order is “left middle right” or “left and right middle”. Is done. As a result, the symbol combination related to “normal lip (+ lip transition)” is not stopped and the transition to the RT0 gaming state is avoided.

  When the small role / replay data pointer is “8”, the combination of symbols related to “RT2 transition lip” is stopped and displayed on condition that the stop order is “middle left and right”. As a result, the RT gaming state shifts from the “RT1 gaming state” to the “RT2 gaming state”.

  If the small role / replay data pointer is “16”, the combination of symbols related to “bell” is stopped and displayed on the condition that the stop order is “middle right”. As a result, the combination of symbols related to “Bell (+ Bell Transition Eye)” is not stopped and the transition to the RT0 gaming state is avoided.

<Description of sub game state>
Next, the sub gaming state will be described with reference to FIG.
In the present embodiment, various game states related to effects controlled by the sub control circuit 42 (sub CPU 81) are referred to as “sub game states”. In the present embodiment, a general state, a chance zone (CZ), D_ART, B_ART, G_ART, R_ART, and Viking Rush (VR) are set as the sub gaming state.

  The general state and the chance zone are sub game states in which the ART is not activated. On the other hand, D_ART, B_ART, G_ART, R_ART and Viking Rush are sub gaming states in which ART operates.

  In the present embodiment, four types of ART are provided. The first ART (first assist state) is D_ART, and the second ART (second assist state) is B_ART. The third ART (third assist state) is G_ART, and the fourth ART (third assist state) is R_ART. Note that R_ART is the same type of ART as G_ART, and the difference from G_ART is the end condition. Viking rush is executed during G_ART or R_ART.

[General status]
The general state is a sub gaming state that is executed during the RT0 gaming state and the RT1 gaming state. During this general state, basically, a lottery (ART lottery) for determining whether or not the ART is won is performed with reference to an ART lottery table (see FIGS. 50 and 52) described later for each game.

  When ART is won in the ART lottery in the general state, D_ART, B_ART or G_ART is won. When the ART is won by the ART lottery, a lottery is performed for determining the number of precursor games (hereinafter referred to as “art precursor game number”) until the winning ART is shifted to. That is, when ART is won during the general state, the sub gaming state shifts to D_ART, B_ART, or G_ART after the number of ART precursor games is exhausted.

  Further, during the general state, with reference to a chance zone transfer lottery table (not shown) for each game, whether or not to shift to the chance zone (CZ) is determined. When the transition to the chance zone is determined, the number of precursor games until the transition to the chance zone (hereinafter referred to as “the number of CZ precursor games”), the number of staying games in the chance zone (hereinafter referred to as “the number of CZ games”) A lottery for determining etc. is performed.

  In addition, the pachislot of the present invention includes a lottery for determining whether or not to move to the chance zone (CZ), and a chance zone shift in which the number of predictive games and the number of stay games in the chance zone before the shift to the chance zone are determined. A lottery table may be used. That is, whether or not to shift to the chance zone, the number of CZ precursor games and the number of CZ games when shifting to the chance zone, may be determined by one lottery.

[Chance zone]
The chance zone (CZ) is a sub gaming state executed during the RT0 gaming state and the RT1 gaming state. When the transition to the chance zone is determined in the general state, and the number of CZ precursor games is exhausted, the sub gaming state is shifted from the general state to the chance zone. Then, after the transition to the chance zone, when the number of CZ games has been consumed, the chance zone ends.

  It should be noted that the pachislot of the present invention has predetermined conditions such as when a predetermined internal winning combination is determined as an internal winning combination without determining the number of CZ games, or when a predetermined display combination is stopped and displayed. As an opportunity, the end of the chance zone may be determined.

  During the chance zone, ART lottery is basically performed for each game with reference to an ART lottery table (see FIG. 51, FIG. 53, etc.) described later. The ART lottery in the chance zone has a higher probability of winning the ART than the ART lottery in the general state. When ART is won in the ART lottery in the chance zone, D_ART, B_ART or G_ART is won as in the general state. That is, when ART is won in the chance zone, the sub gaming state shifts to D_ART, B_ART, or G_ART after digesting the number of ART precursor games.

[D_ART]
D_ART is a sub gaming state that is executed during the RT2 gaming state. For example, D_ART is started after D_ART is won by ART lottery during the general state or chance zone, and the number of ART precursor games determined by lottery is digested.

  When the sub gaming state shifts to D_ART, the number of staying games of D_ART (hereinafter, “ART start G (game) number”) is determined by referring to the ART game number random determination table (not shown). The determined “ART start G number” is set in the ART game number counter. The value of the ART game number counter is decremented by “1” for each game in D_ART. D_ART ends when the value of the ART game number counter reaches “0”.

  In D_ART, a continuation lottery table (not shown) is referenced for each game, and whether or not “continue” is won is determined (continuous lottery). Is set (stored).

  If “continuation” is won during D_ART, after the game of “ART start G number” is digested in D_ART, a new “ART start G number” is set and D_ART is continued (looped). That is, when “1” is set in the continuation flag when the “ART start G number” game is digested, the “ART start G number” is referred to by referring to the continuation ART game number lottery table (not shown). Is determined. Then, the determined “ART start G number” is set in the ART game number counter, and D_ART is continued.

[B_ART]
B_ART is a sub gaming state executed during the RT2 gaming state. For example, the B_ART is started after the B_ART is won by the ART lottery during the general state or the chance zone, and the number of ART precursor games determined by the lottery is digested.

  When the sub gaming state shifts to B_ART, the “ART start G number” of B_ART is determined by referring to the ART game number determination table (not shown). The determined “ART start G number” is set in the ART game number counter. The value of the ART game number counter is decremented by “1” for each game in B_ART. B_ART ends when the value of the ART game number counter reaches “0”.

  In B_ART, with reference to the extra lottery table (FIGS. 124 to 139) for each game, the extra game number is lottery (additional lottery), and the determined extra game number is added to the ART game number counter. That is, as the number of additional games is determined in B_ART, the number of ART games increases, and B_ART that is advantageous to the player can be continued for a long time.

[G_ART]
G_ART is a sub gaming state executed during the RT2 gaming state. For example, G_ART is started after G_ART is won by ART lottery during the chance zone, and the number of ART precursor games determined by lottery is digested. Further, G_ART is started when “G_ART shift” is determined by ART type shift lottery using an ART type shift lottery table (see FIGS. 58 to 69) described later during D_ART or B_ART. That is, when “G_ART shift” is determined, D_ART or B_ART is terminated and G_ART is started. G_ART is started after digesting the game of the number of pre-union games determined by lottery.

When the start (transition) of G_ART is determined, an ART mode (described later) related to D_ART or B_ART at that time, the value of the ART game number counter, the state of the continuation flag, and the like are reflected in G_ART. Then, G_ART ends when the value of the ART game number counter becomes “0”.
When G_ART is started, the combined game number lottery table (not shown) may be referenced to determine the combined game number, and the determined combined game number may be added to the ART game number counter.

  In G_ART, with reference to a continuation lottery table (not shown) for each game, whether or not “continue” is won is determined (continuous lottery). When “continue” is won, “1” is set to the continuation flag. The Further, in G_ART, with reference to the extra lottery table (see FIGS. 124 to 140) for each game, the extra game number is lottery (addition lottery), and the determined extra game number is added to the ART game number counter.

  Further, during G_ART, an ART type transfer lottery is basically performed for each game with reference to an ART type transfer lottery table (see FIGS. 70 to 77 and the like) described later. In the ART type transfer lottery during G_ART, “D_ART shift” and “B_ART shift” are not determined. That is, in the ART type transfer lottery during G_ART, it is determined whether or not “R_ART shift” is determined for each game.

  Thus, G_ART has the characteristics of D_ART (continuous lottery) and the characteristics of B_ART (addition lottery). As a result, the relationship between D_ART and B_ART having different characteristics is increased, and the interest of the game related to “AT (ART)” can be enhanced. In addition, G_ART has the characteristics of D_ART and B_ART, which enhances the advantages of D_ART (you can expect ART to continue) and the advantages of B_ART (the number of games can be added). be able to.

[R_ART]
R_ART is a sub gaming state executed during the RT2 gaming state. R_ART is started when “R_ART transition” is determined by ART type transition lottery using an ART type transition lottery table (see FIGS. 70 to 77) described later during G_ART. When “R_ART shift” is determined, G_ART is interrupted and R_ART is started.

  The R_ART according to the present embodiment ends when the operations of “BB1” to “BB4” end. The R_ART according to the present invention is terminated when any one of “BB1” to “BB4” is determined as an internal winning combination or when a combination of symbols related to “BB1” to “BB4” is stopped and displayed. You may make it do. When the operations of “BB1” to “BB4” determined as the internal winning combinations during R_ART are finished, the sub gaming state returns to G_ART.

  In the present embodiment, R_ART does not end even if any of “PB1” to “PB4” is determined as an internal winning combination. When any one of “PB1” to “PB4” is determined as an internal winning combination during R_ART, an effect of prompting stop display of a combination of symbols corresponding to any of “PB1” to “PB4” is performed. In the present embodiment, the symbol combinations corresponding to “PB1” to “PB4” each include the upper bill symbol or the lower bill symbol.

  When the symbol combination corresponding to any of “PB1” to “PB4” is stopped and displayed, the corresponding “PB1” to “PB4” are activated. In this case, R_ART is interrupted, and the sub gaming state shifts to the general state (or chance zone). After that, when the operations of “PB1” to “PB4” are finished, the sub gaming state returns to R_ART before the transition to the general state (or chance zone).

[Viking Rush]
The viking rush shows a specific example of an alternative production according to the present invention. This viking rush is a sub gaming state related to an effect in which the addition (addition) of the number of ART games is expected, and is executed during G_ART or R_ART. Whether or not to execute this Viking Rush is determined for each game during G_ART and R_ART.

  The Viking Rush performs an alternative effect over at least two games (the number of guaranteed games). Specifically, the player selects one of the character decoration portions 22L and 22R (see FIG. 2) of the pachi-slot 1 and performs an effect of touching (touching) with the hand. As described above, the character decoration portions 22L and 22R are provided with the touch sensors 23L and 23R. Therefore, when the player's hand touches the character decorations 22L and 22R, the touch sensor (23L or 23R) that touched the terminal transmits an input signal to the sub-control circuit 42.

  In the viking rush, one of the character decoration portions 22L and 22R is set to the correct answer and the other is set to the incorrect answer for each game. And it is discriminate | determined whether the character decoration part which the player selected is correct. In the present embodiment, when the character decoration portions 22L and 22R set to the correct answer are selected, the alternative effect is continued, and the alternative effect (Viking Rush) is performed over a maximum of seven games. Is executed. Then, the number of ART games to be added (hereinafter referred to as “VR added game number”) is determined according to the number of correct answers. This “VR added game number” indicates a specific example of the number of added games according to the present invention.

In this embodiment, when the number of correct answers is “n”, the initial value is “d”, and the coefficient is “f”, the VR added game number “m” is calculated by the following calculation formula.
m = d × f ⁿ⁻¹

Therefore, the VR additional game number determined in the Viking Rush is multiplied by f every time the answer is correct.
In this embodiment, the initial value “d” is set to “5”, and the coefficient “f” is set to “2”. Thereby, the VR added game number “m” is calculated by the following calculation formula.
m = 20 × 2 ⁿ⁻¹

  That is, in the alternative production, the VR added game number “m” when the number of correct answers is 1 is “5”, and the VR added game number “m” when the number of correct answers is 2 is “10”. " Further, the VR added game number “m” when the number of correct answers is 3 is “20”, and the VR added game number “m” when the number of correct answers is 4 is “40”. The VR additional game number “m” when the number of correct answers is five is “80”, and the VR additional game number “m” when the number of correct answers is six is “160”. Then, the VR added game number “m” when the number of correct answers is 7 times (all the correct answers in the maximum number of effects of alternatives) is “320”.

  In addition, when all of the seven alternative choices are answered correctly, an extra lottery at the time of VR clear using the VR clear extra lottery table (see FIG. 144) described later is performed, and the number of ART games is increased. Benefits such as Viking Rush wins are granted.

In the Viking Rush during G_ART, when an additional number of games (VR added game number) is determined, the determined additional game number is added to the ART game number counter in the G_ART.
On the other hand, in the Viking Rush during R_ART, when the number of games added (VR added number of games) is determined, the VR added number of games is added to the ART game number counter in G_ART, which is the sub game state before the transition to R_ART. Is added.

  In this way, in VR (Viking Rush), since the “VR added game number” is determined based on the player's selection result, the “VR added game number” in “AT (ART)”, that is, VR (Viking Rush) is determined. ) Can attract the player's interest. As a result, it is possible to improve the fun of games related to “AT (ART)”.

  In VR (Viking Rush), when the answer is correct with an alternative effect (problem), the next alternative effect (problem) is output. As a result, it is possible to give a sense of tension to the one-choice production (problem) at a time, and to increase the importance of the answer to the alternative production (problem). As a result, the player's interest can be attracted to the alternative production (problem), and the interest of the game related to “AT (ART)” can be further improved.

<Configuration of data table stored in sub-ROM>
Next, the configuration of various data tables stored in the sub ROM 82 will be described.

[ART lottery table]
Next, the ART lottery table will be described with reference to FIGS.
The ART lottery table is referred to when performing ART lottery during non-ART and during non-bonus. This ART lottery table shows the correspondence between the winning contents of ART and the lottery values set in accordance with the winning combination (data pointer for small combination / replay).

In the ART lottery using the ART lottery table, first, a random number value extracted from a predetermined numerical range (in this embodiment, 0-32767, random number denominator = 32768) is used as the lottery result (ART winning content). It subtracts sequentially with the lottery value specified every time. Next, it is determined whether or not the result of subtraction has become negative (whether or not a so-called “digit” has occurred). When the subtraction result becomes negative (“digit” occurs), the lottery result at that time is won.
The ART lottery referring to various ART lottery tables is performed in an ART lottery process (see FIG. 179) described later.

  FIG. 50 shows an ART lottery table (part 1). This ART lottery table (part 1) is referred to when the sub gaming state is “general state”, “setting 1”, and “between non-flags”.

  Here, “between flags” and “between non-flags” will be described. In this embodiment, when “BB1” to “BB4” and “PB1” to “PB4” are determined as internal winning combinations, the internal winning combinations are stored in the carryover combination storage area as carryover combinations. Specifically, when any one of “BB1” to “BB4” and “PB1” to “PB4” is determined, the corresponding bits of bits 0 to 7 in the carryover combination storage area 1 become “1”. .

  “Between flags” is a period in which the corresponding bits of bits 0 to 7 in the carryover combination storage area 1 are “1”, and “BB1” to “BB4” and “PB1” to “PB4” are internal winning combinations. This is the period during which one of “Between non-flags” is a period in which bits 0 to 7 of the carryover combination storage area 1 are “0”, and “BB1” to “BB4” and “PB1” to “PB4” are internal winning combinations. Both are periods that have not been carried over.

  However, in the present embodiment, a game in which any one of “BB1” to “BB4” and “PB1” to “PB4” is determined as an internal winning combination is not included in “between flags” and “between non-flags”. , “Flag established”.

  As shown in FIG. 50, when performing an ART lottery with reference to the ART lottery table (part 1), there is a high probability that the lottery result will be “out”. For example, even if the winning combination (data pointer for small role / replay) is “20 (strong ice)” or “22, 23 (strong cherry)”, the lottery result is always “out”.

  FIG. 51 shows an ART lottery table (No. 2). This ART lottery table (No. 2) is referred to when the sub gaming state is “in the chance zone (CZ)”, “setting 1”, and “between non-flags”.

  When performing an ART lottery with reference to the ART lottery table (part 2), “B_ART winning”, “ The probability that “D_ART winning” and “G_ART winning” are determined increases. That is, during the chance zone, the probability of winning the ART is higher than in the general state.

  For example, when the winning combination (data pointer for small role / replay) is “19 (weak ice)” or “20 (strong ice)”, “B_ART winning” is determined as the lottery result value. The probability that “2 (D_ART winning)” is determined is high. As shown in FIG. 51, when the winning combination (data pointer for small role / replay) is “19 (weak ice)”, “D_ART winning” is determined as the lottery result with a probability of about 1/3. . If the winning combination (data pointer for small combination / replay) is “20 (strong ice)”, “D_ART winning” is determined as a lottery result with a probability of about 2/3. On the other hand, when the winning combination (small pointer / replay data pointer) is “19 (weak ice)” or “20 (strong ice)”, “B_ART winning” is not determined as the value of the lottery result.

  On the other hand, if the winning combination (data pointer for small role / replay) is “21 (weak cherry)” or “22, 23 (strong cherry)”, “D_ART winning” is determined as the lottery result. The probability that “B_ART winning” is determined is high. As shown in FIG. 51, when the winning combination (data pointer for small role / replay) is “21 (weak cherry)”, “B_ART winning” is determined as the lottery result with a probability of about 1/4. . When the winning combination (data pointer for small combination / replay) is “22, 23 (strong cherry)”, “B_ART winning” is determined as the lottery result with a probability of about 2/3. On the other hand, when the winning combination (small pointer / replay data pointer) is “21 (weak cherry)” or “22, 23 (strong cherry)”, “D_ART winning” is not determined as the lottery result.

  The internal winning combination relating to weak ice (small role / replay data pointer “19”) and strong ice (small role / replay data pointer “20”) is a specific example of the “first special role” according to the present invention. Is. Further, the internal winning combination relating to the weak cherry (small role / replay data pointer “21”) or strong cherry (small role / replay data pointer “22”, “23”) is the “second special role” according to the present invention. One specific example is shown. Furthermore, “D_ART” indicates a specific example of the “first assist state” according to the present invention, and “B_ART” indicates a specific example of the “second assist state” according to the present invention. is there.

  Therefore, when “first special combination” is determined as an internal winning combination during “non-ART”, the probability that the first assist state wins in the ART lottery of the game is higher than that in the second assist state. On the other hand, when the “second special combination” is determined as the internal winning combination during “non-ART”, the probability that the second assist state wins in the ART lottery of the game is higher than that in the first assist state.

  FIG. 52 shows an ART lottery table (No. 3). This ART lottery table (No. 3) is referred to when “in penalty in general state”, “setting 1”, and “between non-flags”.

  Here, “in penalty” will be described. In the present embodiment, for example, “10” is given as a “penalty addition point” when a stop operation is performed in a non-recommended pressing order (stop order). Then, when the total number of “penalty addition points” is “1” or more, it is determined as “in penalty”. The “penalty addition point” is subtracted by “1” for each game.

  As shown in FIG. 52, when performing the ART lottery with reference to the ART lottery table (part 3), the winning combination (data pointer for small role / replay) is “19 (weak ice)”, “20 (strong ice) ) ”,“ 21 (weak cherry) ”or“ 22, 23 (strong cherry) ”,“ D_ART winning ”and“ B_ART winning ”are not determined.

  FIG. 53 shows an ART lottery table (No. 4). This ART lottery table (No. 4) is referred to when it is “during penalty in CZ (chance zone)”, “setting 1”, and “between non-flags”. As shown in FIG. 53, when the ART lottery is performed with reference to the ART lottery table (No. 4), the lottery result is compared with the case where the ART lottery is referred to with reference to the ART lottery table (No. 3) shown in FIG. As a result, the probability that “B_ART winning”, “D_ART winning” and “G_ART winning” are determined increases.

  FIG. 54 shows an ART lottery table (No. 5). This ART lottery table (No. 5) is referred to in the case of “general state”, “setting 6”, and “between non-flags”. As shown in FIG. 54, when the ART lottery is performed with reference to the ART lottery table (No. 5), the lottery result is compared with the case where the ART lottery is referred to with reference to the ART lottery table (No. 1) shown in FIG. As a result, the probability that “B_ART winning” and “D_ART winning” are determined increases. That is, “setting 6” has a higher probability of winning the ART than “setting 1”.

  FIG. 55 shows an ART lottery table (No. 6). This ART lottery table (No. 6) is referred to when “in the chance zone (CZ)”, “setting 6”, and “between non-flags”. As shown in FIG. 55, when performing ART lottery with reference to the ART lottery table (No. 6), if the winning combination (pocket / replay data pointer) is “12 (common bell)”, “B_ART “Win” and “D_ART Win” are determined with a probability of 1024/32768.

FIG. 56 shows an ART lottery table (No. 7). This ART lottery table (No. 7) is referred to in the case of “Penalty in the general state”, “Setting 6”, and “Between non-flags”.
FIG. 57 shows an ART lottery table (No. 8). This ART lottery table (No. 8) is referred to in the case of “during penalty in CZ (chance zone)”, “setting 6”, and “between non-flags”.

  In the present embodiment, ART lottery is not performed for “between flags”. As a result, in the “between flags”, the internal winning combination relating to the replay is more easily determined than the normal state (the RT0 gaming state or the RT1 gaming state) without intentionally stopping and displaying the combination of symbols related to the bonus operation. Even if you continue the RT3 gaming state, you will not win the ART.

  However, ART lottery is performed in a game in which any one of “BB1” to “BB4” and “PB1” to “PB4” is determined as an internal winning combination, that is, a game in which “flag is established”. In “flag establishment”, a small winning combination with a low winning probability may be determined as an internal winning combination simultaneously with the internal winning combination related to the bonus. When a small combination having a low winning probability is determined as an internal winning combination, the probability of winning an ART increases.

  Therefore, in a “flag established” game where a small winning combination with a low winning probability may be determined as an internal winning combination, ART lottery is performed. In the present embodiment, an ART lottery table (not shown) that is referred to in the case of “flag establishment” is provided separately from the ART lottery table that is referred to in the case of “between non-flags”.

[ART type lottery table]
Next, the ART type transfer lottery table will be described with reference to FIGS.
The ART type transfer lottery table is referred to when performing ART type transfer lottery during ART. This ART type transition lottery table shows the correspondence between the ART transition contents and lottery values set in accordance with the winning combination (small combination / replay data pointer).

  In an ART type transfer lottery that refers to an ART type transfer lottery table, first, a random number value extracted from a predetermined numerical range (0 to 32767 and random number denominator = 32768 in this embodiment) is used as a lottery result (ART Subtract the lottery value specified every time). Next, it is determined whether or not the result of subtraction has become negative (whether or not a so-called “digit” has occurred). When the subtraction result becomes negative (“digit” occurs), the lottery result at that time is won.

  FIG. 56 shows an ART type transfer lottery table (part 1). The ART type transition lottery table (part 1) is referred to when “setting 1”, the sub gaming state is “D_ART”, “no continuation”, and the number of ART games is “greater than last (remaining) 3G”. Is done.

  FIG. 59 shows an ART type transfer lottery table (part 2). The ART type transition lottery table (part 2) is referred to when “setting 1”, the sub game state is “D_ART”, “no continuation”, and the number of ART games is “last (remaining) 3G or less” Is done.

  FIG. 60 shows an ART type transfer lottery table (No. 3). The ART type transition lottery table (No. 3) is referred to when “setting 1”, the sub game state is “D_ART”, “continuation is present”, and the number of ART games is “greater than the last (remaining) 3G” Is done.

  FIG. 61 shows an ART type transfer lottery table (part 4). The ART type transition lottery table (part 4) is referred to when “setting 1”, the sub game state is “D_ART”, “continue”, and the number of ART games is “last (remaining) 3G or less” Is done.

  FIG. 62 shows an ART type transfer lottery table (No. 5). The ART type transition lottery table (No. 5) has “setting 1”, the sub game state is “D_ART”, and “no continuation”, and “the number of games in the ART prelude or in the general state is the last number (Remaining) more than 3G ".

  Here, “art precursor” and “preparing ART” will be described. The “pre-ART sign” is a period from when the ART win is determined until the ART win is notified, and is a period during which one or more G (games) are consumed. On the other hand, “ART in preparation” is a period from when an ART winning is notified until the winning ART is started, and is a period during which one or more G (games) are consumed. In other words, “ART in preparation” means a period from when the winning of ART is notified until “RT2 gaming state” is activated, or until “RT2 gaming state” is activated in order to return to ART after the bonus ends. It is a period.

  FIG. 63 shows an ART type transfer lottery table (No. 6). The ART type transition lottery table (No. 6) has “setting 1”, the sub gaming state is “D_ART”, and “no continuation”, and “the number of games in the ART prelude or in the general state is the last number Reference is made in the case of (remaining) 3G or less.

  FIG. 64 shows an ART type transfer lottery table (part 7). The ART type transition lottery table (No. 7) shows that “setting 1”, the sub game state is “D_ART”, and “continuation is present”, and “the number of games in the ART prelude or in the general state is the last (Remaining) more than 3G ".

  FIG. 65 shows an ART type transfer lottery table (No. 8). The ART type transition lottery table (No. 8) shows that “setting 1”, the sub gaming state is “D_ART”, and “continuation is present”, and “the number of games in the ART prelude or in the general state is the last Reference is made in the case of (remaining) 3G or less.

  As shown in FIGS. 58 to 65, when performing the ART type transfer lottery using the ART type transfer lottery table (Nos. 1 to 8), the winning combination (data pointer for small role / replay) is “21 (weak). “Cherry)” or “22, 23 (strong cherry)”, there is a possibility that “G_ART shift” is determined as the lottery result. That is, when performing the ART type transfer lottery in “D_ART”, if the winning combination (data pointer for small role / replay) is “21 (weak cherry)” or “22, 23 (strong cherry)”, There is a possibility that “G_ART shift” is determined as the lottery result.

  For example, when referring to the ART type transition lottery table (No. 1) shown in FIG. 58, if the winning combination (small role / replay data pointer) is “21 (weak cherry)”, the probability is about 1/10. Then, “G_ART shift” is determined as the lottery result. Also, if the winning combination (small pointer / replay data pointer) is “22, 23 (strong cherry)”, “G_ART shift” is determined as the lottery result with a probability of about 1/3.

The internal winning combination relating to the weak cherry (small role / replay data pointer “21”) and strong cherry (small role / replay data pointer “22”, “23”) is one of the “second special roles” according to the present invention. A specific example is shown.
Therefore, when the “second special combination” is determined as the internal winning combination during “D_ART” in the first assist state, the ART type transition of the game is made more than when the “first special combination” is determined. In lottery, there is a high probability that the transition of “G_ART” in the third assist state is determined.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when “first special combination” is determined as an internal winning combination during “D_ART” in the first assist state, it continues more than when “second special combination” is determined. There is a high probability that “continuation” is won in lottery. That is, when the “first special combination” is determined as the internal winning combination during “D_ART”, the execution of the next set of “D_ART” is continued (continuation) than when the “second special combination” is determined. There is expected.

  FIG. 69 shows an ART type transfer lottery table (No. 12). The ART type transition lottery table (No. 12) is “setting 1”, the sub gaming state is “B_ART”, and “the number of games being prepared for ART or being a precursor to ART in the general state is 3G or less last (remaining)” To be referenced.

  As shown in FIGS. 66 to 69, when performing ART lottery using the ART type transition lottery table (No. 9 to No. 12), the winning combination (small pointer / replay data pointer) is “19 (weak ice)”. ”Or“ 20 (strong ice) ”, there is a possibility that“ G_ART shift ”is determined as the lottery result. That is, in the case of performing ART type transfer lottery during “B_ART”, if the winning combination (data pointer for small role / replay) is “19 (weak ice)” or “20 (strong ice)”, the lottery result There is a possibility that “G_ART winning” is determined.

  For example, when referring to the ART type transition lottery table (No. 9) shown in FIG. 66, if the winning combination (small pointer / replay data pointer) is “19 (weak ice)”, the probability is about 1/8. Thus, “G_ART winning” is determined as the lottery result. If the winning combination (data pointer for small combination / replay) is “20 (strong ice)”, “G_ART shift” is determined as the lottery result with a probability of about 1/3.

The internal winning combination relating to weak ice (small role / replay data pointer “19”) and strong ice (small role / replay data pointer “20”) is a specific example of the “first special role” according to the present invention. Is.
Therefore, when “first special combination” is determined as the internal winning combination during “B_ART” in the second assist state, the ART type transition of the game is made more than when “second special combination” is determined. In lottery, there is a high probability that the transition of “G_ART” in the third assist state is determined.

  In the present embodiment, when the “second special combination” is determined as the internal winning combination during “B_ART” in the second assist state, the “first special combination” is determined to be added. There is a high probability that the number of additional games will be determined in lottery. That is, when the “second special combination” is determined as the internal winning combination during “B_ART”, the number of ART games is expected to be added more than when the “first special combination” is determined.

[Medal reception / start check processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 154, the medal acceptance / start check process performed in S3 in the main flow (see FIG. 153) will be described.

  First, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not there is an automatic insertion request (S31). The presence / absence of the automatic insertion request is determined by determining whether or not the automatic insertion counter is “0”. That is, the main CPU 51 determines that there is no automatic input request when the automatic input counter is “0”, and determines that there is an automatic input request when the automatic input counter is “1” or more.

  The automatic insertion counter is data for identifying whether or not a display combination related to re-playing has been established in the previous unit game. When the display combination related to the re-game is established, the medals for the number of coins inserted in the previous unit game are automatically inserted into the automatic insertion counter.

  When the main CPU 51 determines in S31 that there is an automatic loading request (when S31 is YES), the main CPU 51 performs an automatic loading process (S32). In this process, the value of the automatic insertion counter is copied to the insertion number counter, and then the value of the automatic insertion counter is cleared. Thereafter, the main CPU 51 performs a process of S39 described later.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S31 that there is no automatic insertion request (when S31 is NO), the main CPU 51 permits medal acceptance (S33). In this process, the solenoid of the selector 35 (see FIG. 4) is driven, and medals inserted from the medal insertion slot 13 are accepted. The received medals are counted and guided to the hopper 33.

  Next, the main CPU 51 sets the maximum number of inserted sheets according to the gaming state (S34). Specifically, the maximum value of the inserted number is set to “1” in the RB3 and RB4 gaming states, and the maximum value of the inserted number is set to “2” in the RB1 and RB2 gaming states (see FIG. 13). Then, in the general gaming state, the maximum value of the inserted number is set to “3”.

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the medal acceptance is permitted (S35). In S35, when the main CPU 51 determines that the medal acceptance is not permitted (when S35 is NO), the main CPU 51 performs a process of S39 described later.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S35 that the medal acceptance is permitted (S35 is YES), the main CPU 51 performs a medal insertion check process (S36). In this process, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not a medal is inserted, and adds “1” to the inserted number counter when a medal is inserted.

  Next, the main CPU 51 transmits a medal insertion command to the sub control circuit 42 (S37). The medal insertion command includes a parameter for specifying the number of inserted coins.

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the inserted number is a game start possible number (S38). In S38, when the main CPU 51 determines that the inserted number is not the game start possible number (when S38 is NO), the main CPU 51 returns the process to S35 and repeats the processes after S35.

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the start switch is on (S39). When the main CPU 51 determines in S39 that the start switch is not on (when S39 is NO), the main CPU 51 returns the process to S35 and repeats the processes after S35.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S39 that the start switch is on (when S39 is YES), the main CPU 51 performs a medal acceptance prohibition process (S40). With this process, the solenoid of the selector 35 (see FIG. 4) is not driven, and the inserted medal is discharged from the medal payout opening 18. When this process ends, the main CPU 51 ends the medal acceptance / start check process, and moves the process to S4 of the main flow (see FIG. 153).

[Internal lottery processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 155, the internal lottery process performed in S6 in the main flow (see FIG. 153) will be described. In the present embodiment, internal lottery processing using various internal lottery tables described below is executed by the main control circuit 41. That is, in the present embodiment, the main control circuit 41 also serves as means for executing internal lottery processing (internal winning combination determining means).

  Next, the main CPU 51 acquires a random value stored in the random value storage area (S43). Then, the main CPU 51 sets “1” as the initial value of the winning number.

  Next, the main CPU 51 acquires a lottery value corresponding to the winning number with reference to the internal lottery table, and subtracts the lottery value from the random number value (S44).

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the calculation result in S44 is less than 0 (negative value) (S45).

  When the main CPU 51 determines in S45 that the calculation result is not less than 0 (when S45 is NO), the main CPU 51 updates the random number value and the winning number (S46). Specifically, the value of the calculation result is set to a random value, and the winning number is incremented by one.

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not all winning numbers have been checked (S47). When it is determined in S47 that the main CPU 51 has not checked all the winning numbers (when S47 is NO), the main CPU 51 returns the process to S44 and repeats the processes after S44.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S47 that the main CPU 51 has checked all the winning numbers (when S47 is YES), the main CPU 51 sets “0” as the data pointer (S48). That is, the main CPU 51 sets “0” as the small role / replay data pointer and the bonus data pointer.

  Here, returning to the description of the processing of S45 again, when the main CPU 51 determines in S45 that the calculation result is less than 0 (negative value) (when S45 is YES), the main CPU 51 According to the winning number, a small role / replay data pointer and a bonus data pointer are acquired (S49).

  After the processing of S48 or S49, the main CPU 51 refers to the small winning combination / replay internal winning combination determination table (see FIGS. 24 and 25), and acquires the internal winning combination based on the small winning combination / replay data pointer. (S50).

  Next, the main CPU 51 stores the acquired internal winning combination in the internal winning combination storing area (S51).

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the data stored in the carryover combination storage area is “00000000” (S52). In S52, when the main CPU 51 determines that the data stored in the carryover combination storage area is not “00000000” (when S52 is NO), the main CPU 51 performs the process of S57 described later.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S52 that the data stored in the carryover combination storage area is “00000000” (when S52 is YES), the main CPU 51 determines the internal winning combination determination table for bonus ( Referring to FIG. 23), an internal winning combination is acquired based on the bonus data pointer (S53).

  Next, the main CPU 51 stores the acquired internal winning combination in the carryover combination storing area (S54).

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not any of bits 0 to 2 of the carryover combination storage area 1 is “1” (S55). In S55, when the main CPU 51 determines that any of bits 0 to 2 in the carryover combination storage area 1 is not "1" (when S55 is NO), the main CPU 51 performs the process of S57 described later. .

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S55 that any of the bits 0 to 2 in the carryover combination storage area 1 is “1” (when S55 is YES), the main CPU 51 sets the RT3 gaming state flag. The game state flag storage area is updated by setting (S56). Specifically, “1” is stored (set) in bit 3 of the game state flag storage area 2 (see FIG. 40).

  Next, the main CPU 51 updates the internal winning combination storing area based on the internal winning combination stored in the carryover combination storing area (S57). Thereafter, the main CPU 51 ends the internal lottery process, and moves the process to S7 of the main flow (see FIG. 153).

[Lottery value change processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 156, the lottery value changing process performed in S42 in the flowchart of the internal lottery process (see FIG. 155) will be described.

  First, the main CPU 51 refers to the gaming state flag storage area (see FIG. 40) to determine whether or not the RT gaming state flag is on (S61). Specifically, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not “1” is set in any of the bits 3 to 7 in the gaming state flag storage area 2 (see FIG. 40).

  When it is determined in the processing of S61 that the RT gaming state flag is on (when S61 is YES), the main CPU 51 refers to the RT internal lottery table corresponding to the RT gaming state that is on, The lottery value of the winning number (“39” to “49”) related to the replay in the internal lottery table for general gaming state (see FIG. 14) is changed (S62).

  On the other hand, when it is determined in the process of S61 that the RT gaming state flag is not on (when S61 is NO), or after the processing of S62, the main CPU 51 refers to the gaming state flag storage area and determines the SB gaming state. It is determined whether or not the flag is on (S63). Specifically, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not “1” is set in the bit 2 in the gaming state flag storage area 2 (see FIG. 40).

  When it is determined in the process of S63 that the SB gaming state flag is ON (when S63 is YES), the main CPU 51 refers to the internal lottery table for SB (see FIG. 14). The lottery value of the winning number (“50”) relating to the small combination of) is changed (S64).

  On the other hand, when it is determined in the process of S63 that the SB gaming state flag is not on (when S63 is NO), or after the process of S64, the main CPU 51 ends the lottery value change process, and the process is an internal lottery process. The process moves to S43 (see FIG. 155).

[Game lock lottery processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 157, the game lock lottery process performed in S7 in the main flow (see FIG. 153) will be described.

  First, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the data stored in the carryover combination storage area is “00000000” (S71). In S71, when the main CPU 51 determines that the data stored in the carryover combination storage area is not “00000000” (when S71 is NO), the main CPU 51 performs the process of S75 described later.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the data stored in the carryover combination storage area is “00000000” in S71 (when S71 is YES), the main CPU 51 has the winning number “0”. Is determined (S72). Here, when the winning number is “0”, “losing” is determined in the internal lottery. In S72, when the main CPU 51 determines that the winning number is not “0” (when S72 is NO), the main CPU 51 performs the process of S75 described later.

  In S72, when the main CPU 51 determines that the winning number is “0” (when S72 is YES), the main CPU 51 determines whether or not it is in the RT0 gaming state (S73). In S73, when the main CPU 51 determines that it is not in the RT0 gaming state (when S73 is NO), the main CPU 51 ends the game lock lottery process, and moves the process to S8 of the main flow (see FIG. 153).

  In S73, when it is determined that the main CPU 51 is in the RT0 gaming state (when S73 is YES), the main CPU 51 multiplies the effect random number value 1 and the effect random number value 2 by the effect random number value 1 Is stored in the main RAM 53 (S74). As a result, the random number denominator becomes 65536 squared only when the winning number is “0 (lost)”.

  After S74, when S72 is NO, or when S71 is NO, the main CPU 51 refers to the game lock lottery table (part 1) (see FIG. 36) and plays the game based on the random number value 1 for performance. Lock lottery is performed (S75). In S75, when any game lock ("1" to "8") is won, a game lock flag corresponding to the won game lock and a value corresponding to the won game lock are set in the lock timer. Then, the main CPU 51 ends the game lock lottery process, and moves the process to S8 of the main flow (see FIG. 153).

  In the present embodiment, a value obtained by multiplying the production random number value 1 and the production random number value 2 is used as the production random number value 1, whereby the game lock lottery referring to the game lock lottery table (see FIGS. 36 and 37). It was set as the structure which uses again the random number value 1 for presentation used. However, by providing the production random number 3, the game lock lottery referring to the game lock lottery table (part 1) according to the present invention uses a value obtained by multiplying the production random number 2 and the production random value 3. It may be.

[Reel stop initial setting process]
Next, the reel stop initial setting process performed in S8 in the main flow (see FIG. 153) will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the main CPU 51 refers to the rotating drum stop number selection table (see FIG. 27), and acquires the rotating drum stop number based on the internal winning combination acquired in the internal lottery process of S6 in FIG. 153. (S101).

  Next, the main CPU 51 refers to the reel stop initial setting table (see FIG. 28), and acquires various information corresponding to the rotation stop number based on the acquired rotation stop number (S102). Specifically, the main CPU 51, corresponding to the acquired rotation stop number, pull-in priority table selection table number, pull-in priority table number, forward push table selection data, forward push table change data, forward push Time table change initial data and irregular pressing time table selection data are acquired.

  Next, the main CPU 51 stores the rotating identifier “0FFH (11111111B)” in the entire symbol code storage area (see FIG. 43) (S103).

  Next, the main CPU 51 stores “3” in the stop button non-operating counter provided in the main RAM 53 (S104). Thereafter, the main CPU 51 ends the reel stop initial setting process, and moves the process to S9 of the main flow (see FIG. 153). The stop button non-operating counter is a counter for managing the number of stop buttons whose stop operation has not been detected.

[Lock process at game start]
Next, with reference to FIG. 159, the game start time locking process performed in S10 in the main flow (see FIG. 153) will be described.

  First, the main CPU 51 sets a reel effect pattern according to the game lock flag (S111). As the reel effect pattern, as described above, first to fourth reel effects are set.

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the value of the lock timer is “0” (S112). When the main CPU 51 determines in S112 that the value of the lock timer is not “0” (when S112 is NO), the main CPU 51 repeats the process of S112 until the value of the lock timer becomes “0”. stand by.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S112 that the value of the lock timer is “0” (when S112 is YES), the main CPU 51 ends the game start lock process, and the process proceeds to the main flow ( The process proceeds to S11 in FIG.

[Retrieve priority storage processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 160, the pull-in priority storage process performed in S13 in the main flow (see FIG. 153) will be described.

  First, the main CPU 51 stores the stop button non-operating counter in the main RAM 53 as the number of searches (S121). Next, the main CPU 51 performs a search target reel determination process (S122). In this process, for example, the main CPU 51 selects a predetermined reel from the rotating reels and determines the selected reel as a search target reel.

  For example, in S122, when all (three) reels are rotated, the left reel 3L is first determined as a search target reel. Thereafter, various processes up to S131 described later are performed on the left reel 3L. When the process returns to S122 again, the middle reel 3C is determined as a search target reel. Then, various processes up to S131 described later are performed on the middle reel 3C, and when returning to S122 again, the right reel 3R is next determined as a search target reel.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs a pull-in priority table selection process (S123). In this process, the pull-in priority table is selected based on the internal winning combination (the small combination / replay data pointer) and the operation stop button. Details of the pull-in priority table selection process will be described later with reference to FIG. 161 described later.

  Next, the main CPU 51 sets “0” as the symbol position data and sets “21” as the symbol check count (S124). Then, the main CPU 51 performs a symbol code acquisition process (S125). In this process, the symbol code corresponding to the current symbol position data located on the effective line (winning determination line) of the search target reel is stored in the symbol code storage area. At this time, symbol codes for the number of valid lines are stored. Details of the symbol code storage process will be described later with reference to FIG. 162 described later.

  Next, the main CPU 51 updates the display combination storing area (see FIG. 39) based on the acquired symbol code and the data in the symbol code storing area (see FIG. 43) (S126). At this time, regardless of whether the internal winning combination is won or not, a combination of symbols that can be displayed (a displayable combination) is stored in the display combination storing area based on the stopped symbol.

  In this embodiment, the symbol code storage area information (symbol code and displayable role corresponding thereto) is updated for each reel to be stopped. At this time, the displayable combination may be obtained from data prepared in advance that defines the correspondence between the stopped reel symbol and the corresponding displayable combination, or the stopped reel symbol. And the symbol combination table (see FIG. 8 and FIG. 9) may be obtained by collation. When the former method is used, the correspondence relationship between the symbol and the displayable combination changes for each reel.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs a pull-in priority acquisition process (S127). In this process, the main CPU 51 draws in priority for the combination whose bit is “1” in the display combination storing area (see FIG. 39) and whose bit is “1” in the internal winning combination storage area. With reference to the ranking table (see FIG. 34), pull-in priority data is acquired.

  In addition, when a symbol of a winning combination (for example, a role relating to “Bell”: see FIG. 8) is displayed on a part of reels, a drawing priority order of the winning combination is given to a reel that is “ANY”. Do not get data. Further, if there is a possibility that a winning combination that has not been won is confirmed in the reel for which winning is confirmed, the drawing priority data is set to “stop prohibited (all bits 0)”.

  Next, the main CPU 51 stores the acquired pull-in priority data in the pull-in priority data storage area (see FIG. 44) (S128). At this time, the pull-in priority data is stored in the pull-in priority data storage area so that each priority value corresponds to a bit in the storage area. Next, the main CPU 51 adds 1 to the symbol position data and subtracts 1 from the number of symbol checks (S129).

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the number of symbol checks is 0 (S130). In S130, when the main CPU 51 determines that the number of symbol checks is not 0 (when S130 is NO), the main CPU 51 returns the process to S125 and repeats the processes after S125.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S130 that the number of symbol checks is 0 (S130 is YES), the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the number of searches has been searched (S131).

  In S131, when it is determined that the main CPU 51 has not searched the number of times of search (when S131 is NO), the main CPU 51 returns the process to S122 and repeats the processes after S122. On the other hand, when it is determined in S131 that the main CPU 51 has searched for the number of times of search (when S131 is YES), the main CPU 51 ends the pull-in priority storage process, and the process is S14 of the main flow (see FIG. 153). Move to.

[Pull-in priority table selection processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 161, the drawing priority order table selection process performed in S123 in the flowchart of the drawing priority order storing process (see FIG. 160) will be described.

  First, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the drawing priority table number is set, that is, whether or not the drawing priority table number is stored directly in the reel stop initial setting process (S8) (S141). ). When the main CPU 51 determines in S141 that the pull-in priority table number has been set (if YES in S141), the main CPU 51 ends the pull-in priority table selection process and stores the pull-in priority order. The process proceeds to S124 of the process (see FIG. 160).

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the pull-in priority table number is not set in S141 (when S141 is NO), the main CPU 51 stores the pressing order storage area (see FIG. 42) and the operation stop button. Referring to the area (see FIG. 41), the corresponding pull-in priority table number is set (S142). Thereafter, the main CPU 51 ends the pull-in priority order table selection process, and moves the process to S124 in the pull-in priority order storing process (see FIG. 160).

  In S142, first, the main CPU 51 refers to the pressing order storage area and the operation stop button storage area, and acquires the data of the pressing order and the operation stop button. Next, the main CPU 51 refers to the drawing priority table selection table corresponding to the drawing priority table selection data, and acquires the drawing priority table number based on the pressing order and the operation stop button. Thereafter, the main CPU 51 sets the acquired pull-in priority table number.

[Design code acquisition processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 162, the symbol code acquisition process performed in S125 in the flowchart (see FIG. 160) of the pull-in priority storage process will be described.

  First, the main CPU 51 sets valid line data (S151). Next, the main CPU 51 sets the symbol position data for checking the search target reel based on the search symbol position and the effective line data (S152). For example, when the search target reel is the left reel 3L, since it is desired to acquire information on the middle stage of the search target reel, the check symbol position data indicating the middle stage is set.

  Next, the main CPU 51 obtains a symbol code of the symbol position data for checking (S153). Thereafter, the main CPU 51 ends the symbol code storing process, and moves the process to S126 of the pull-in priority storing process (see FIG. 160).

[Reel stop control process]
Next, with reference to FIG. 163, the reel stop control process performed in S14 in the main flow (see FIG. 153) will be described. In the present embodiment, the reel stop control process described below is executed by the main control circuit 41. In other words, in the present embodiment, the main control circuit 41 also serves as means for executing reel stop control processing (stop control means).

  First, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not a valid stop button has been pressed (S161). In S161, when the main CPU 51 determines that the effective stop button is not pressed (when S161 is NO), the main CPU 51 repeats the process of S161 and the effective stop button is pressed. Wait until.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S161 that a valid stop button has been pressed (in the case where S161 is YES), the main CPU 51 stores the pressing order storage area (see FIG. 42) and the operation stop button storage area (see FIG. 42). 41) is updated (S162). Next, the main CPU 51 decrements the stop button non-operating counter by 1 (S163).

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines a search target reel from the operation stop button (S164). Then, the main CPU 51 stores the stop start position in the main RAM 53 based on the symbol counter (S165).

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs a sliding piece number determination process (S166). The details of the sliding piece number determination process will be described later with reference to FIG. 164 described later. Next, the main CPU 51 transmits a reel stop command to the sub-control circuit 42 (S167). The reel stop command transmitted in this process includes information such as the type of reel to be stopped, the number of sliding pieces, and the ON / OFF edge of the stop switch. Note that the ON / OFF edge information of the stop switch may be monitored by an interrupt process described later, and the information may be transmitted to the sub control circuit 42.

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines a planned stop position based on the stop start position and the number of sliding pieces determined in S166, and stores the determined planned stop position in the main RAM 53 (S168). In this process, the main CPU 51 adds the number of sliding frames to the stop start position, and sets the result as the planned stop position.

  Next, the main CPU 51 sets the planned stop position determined in S168 as a search symbol position (S169). Next, the main CPU 51 performs the symbol code acquisition process described with reference to FIG. 162 (S170). Thereafter, the main CPU 51 updates the symbol code storage area (see FIG. 43) using the acquired symbol code (S171).

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs a control change process (S172). Details of the control change process will be described later with reference to FIG. 169 described later. Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the pressed stop button has been released (S173). In S173, when the main CPU 51 determines that the pressed stop button is not released (when S173 is NO), the main CPU 51 repeats the process of S173 and waits until the pressed stop button is released. To do.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S173 that the pressed stop button has been released (YES in S173), the main CPU 51 performs a reel stop command transmission process (S174). In this process, the main CPU 51 transmits a reel stop command to the sub control circuit 42. At this time, the data structure of the reel stop command to be transmitted is the same as that of the reel stop command transmitted in S167. However, the ON edge / OFF edge information included in the reel stop command transmitted in S174 is different from the ON edge / OFF edge information included in the reel stop command transmitted in S167.

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the stop button non-operation counter is “0” (S175). In S175, when the main CPU 51 determines that the inoperative counter is not “0” (when S175 is NO), the main CPU 51 performs the pull-in priority storage process described with reference to FIG. 160 (S176). ). Thereafter, the main CPU 51 returns the process to S161 and repeats the processes after S161.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S175 that the inoperative counter is “0” (when S175 is YES), the main CPU 51 ends the reel stop control process, and the process proceeds to the main flow (FIG. 153). (Refer to S14).

[Sliding piece number determination processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 164, the slip piece number determination process performed in S166 in the flowchart of the reel stop control process (see FIG. 163) will be described.

  First, the main CPU 51 selects line mask data corresponding to the operation stop button based on a line mask data table (not shown) (S181). In this process, for example, when the left stop button 17L is pressed, the main CPU 51 sets “10000000” in which the bit 7 corresponding to the “left reel A line” of the stop data is set as line mask data. Select. For example, when the middle stop button 17C is pressed, the main CPU 51 selects “00010000” in which bit 4 corresponding to “middle reel A line” of the stop data is set as line mask data. To do. Further, for example, when the right stop button 17R is pressed, the main CPU 51 selects “00000010” in which bit 1 corresponding to “right reel A line” of the stop data is set as line mask data. To do.

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not it is the first stop (the stop button non-operation counter is “2”) (S182). In S182, when the main CPU 51 determines that it is not the first stop (when S182 is NO), the main CPU 51 performs the second and third stop processing (S183). The details of the second and third stop processes will be described later with reference to FIG. Thereafter, the main CPU 51 performs processing of S191 described later.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S182 that the main CPU 51 is the first stop (when S182 is YES), the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the operation stop button is a left stop button (S184).

  In S184, when the main CPU 51 determines that the operation stop button is the left stop button (when S184 is YES), the main CPU 51 acquires the table selection data and the symbol counter at the time of forward pressing (S185). In this process, the forward-pressing table selection data is acquired with reference to the reel stop initial setting table (see FIG. 28). Next, the main CPU 51 refers to the first stop table for forward pressing corresponding to the table selection data for forward pressing, and acquires the number-of-slip determination data and the change status based on the symbol counter (S186). Thereafter, the main CPU 51 performs processing of S191 described later.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S184 that the operation stop button is not the left stop button (when S184 is NO), the main CPU 51 obtains the irregular pressing table selection data and selects the irregular pressing table selection. An irregular pressing stop table corresponding to the data is set (S187). In this process, the irregular selection table selection data is acquired with reference to the reel stop initial setting table (see FIG. 28).

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs a line change bit check process (S188). Details of the line change bit check process will be described later with reference to FIG. 166 described later. Next, the main CPU 51 performs line mask data change processing (S189). Details of the line mask data changing process will be described later with reference to FIG. 167 described later. Thereafter, the main CPU 51 refers to the set irregular stop table when it is pressed, and acquires the number of pieces of sliding piece determination based on the line mask data and the stop start position (S190).

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs a priority pull-in control process (S191). In this process, the drawing priority order data corresponding to each symbol position in the range from the stop start position to the maximum number of sliding symbols “4” is compared, and the most appropriate number of sliding symbols is determined. Details of the priority pull-in control process will be described later with reference to FIG. 168 described later. Thereafter, the main CPU 51 ends the sliding piece number determination process, and moves the process to S167 of the reel stop control process (see FIG. 163).

[Second and third stop processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 165, the second and third stop processing performed in S183 in the flowchart (see FIG. 164) of the sliding piece number determination processing will be described.

  First, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not it is during the second stop operation (S201). In S201, when the main CPU 51 determines that it is not during the second stop operation (when S201 is NO), the main CPU 51 performs the process of S204 described later.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S201 that the main CPU 51 is at the time of the second stop operation (when S201 is YES), the main CPU 51 pushes the stop buttons in the order of pressing (first stop is the left reel 3L). It is determined whether or not (S202). In S202, when the main CPU 51 determines that it is not a forward press (when S202 is NO), the main CPU 51 performs a process of S204 described later.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S202 that the main CPU 51 is a forward press (when S202 is YES), the main CPU 51 performs a line change bit check process (S203). Details of the line change bit check process will be described later with reference to FIG. 166 described later.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs a line mask data change process (S204). Details of the line mask data changing process will be described later with reference to FIG. 167 described later. Next, the main CPU 51 performs a sliding frame number search process (S205). In this process, with reference to the stop table (FIGS. 29, 31 and 32), the slip piece number determination data is determined based on the stop start position.

  For example, when the line mask data is “00010000” corresponding to “middle reel A line”, the main CPU 51 refers to the column of “middle reel A line” of bit 4. Then, a search is sequentially performed as to whether or not the corresponding data is “1” for each symbol position within the range of the maximum number of sliding symbols from the stop start position. Next, the main CPU 51 calculates the difference from the symbol position where the corresponding data is “1” to the stop start position, and determines the calculated value as the number of sliding pieces determination data. Then, after the processing of S205, the main CPU 51 ends the second and third stop processing, and shifts the processing to S191 of the sliding piece number determination processing (see FIG. 164).

[Line change bit check processing]
Next, referring to FIG. 166, the line change bit performed in S188 in the flowchart (see FIG. 164) of the sliding piece number determination process and in S203 in the flowchart of the second and third stop processes (see FIG. 165). The check process will be described.

  First, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the change status is “1” or “2” (S211). In S211, when the main CPU 51 determines that the change status is “1” or “2” (when S211 is YES), the main CPU 51 sets the corresponding line status (S212). In this process, in this embodiment, when the change status is “1”, the A line status is set, and when the change status is “2”, the B line status is set. After the process of S212, the main CPU 51 ends the line change bit check process, and the process is S189 of the slip piece number determination process (see FIG. 164) or the flowchart of the second and third stop processes (FIG. 165). (See 165).

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S211 that the change status is not "1" or "2" (when S211 is NO), the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the line change bit is on. (S213). In this process, the main CPU 51 refers to the column corresponding to the “middle reel line change bit” or “right reel line change bit” in the stop table (see FIGS. 31 and 32), and the data corresponding to the stop start position is stored. It is determined whether or not “1”. When the main CPU 51 determines that the data corresponding to the stop start position is not “1”, that is, the line change bit is not on (when S213 is NO), the main CPU 51 performs the line change bit check process. And the process proceeds to S189 in the sliding frame number determination process (see FIG. 164) or S204 in the flowchart of the second and third stop processes (see FIG. 165).

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S213 that the data corresponding to the stop start position is “1”, that is, the line change bit is ON (when S213 is YES), the main CPU 51 The line status is set (S214). The B line status is data used for changing the line mask data. After the process of S214, the main CPU 51 ends the line change bit check process, and the process is S189 of the slip piece number determination process (see FIG. 165) or the flowchart of the second and third stop processes (see FIG. 165). ) In S204.

[Line mask data change processing]
Next, referring to FIG. 167, the line mask data to be performed in S189 in the flowchart (see FIG. 164) of the sliding piece number determining process and in S204 in the flowchart of the second and third stop processes (see FIG. 165). The change process will be described.

  First, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the C line status is set (S221). Note that the setting of the C line status is performed in the case of forward pressing in a second post-stop control change process (see FIG. 170) described later.

  In S221, when the main CPU 51 determines that the C line status is set (when S221 is YES), the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the operation stop button at the second stop is the middle stop button. A determination is made (S222).

  In S222, when the main CPU 51 determines that the operation stop button at the second stop is the middle stop button (when S222 is YES), the main CPU 51 rotates the line mask data to the right twice (S223). ). If it is a forward press and the operation stop button at the second stop is a middle stop button, the operation stop button at the third stop is a right stop button. Therefore, the line mask data is changed from “00000010” to “10000000” by the process of S223. As a result, the column of bit 7 corresponding to the “right reel C line data” in the stop table for second and third stops (see FIG. 31) at the time of forward pressing is referred. Then, after the processing of S223, the main CPU 51 ends the line mask data change processing, and the processing is S190 of the slip piece number determination processing (see FIG. 164) or the flowchart of the second and third stop processing (see FIG. 165). ) In S205.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S222 that the operation stop button at the time of the second stop is not the middle stop button (when S222 is NO), the main CPU 51 rotates the line mask data to the left twice. (S224). If it is a forward press and the operation stop button at the second stop is not the middle stop button, the operation stop button at the third stop becomes the middle stop button. Therefore, the line mask data is changed from “00010000” to “01000000” by the process of S224. As a result, the column of bit 6 corresponding to the “middle reel C line data” of the stop table for the second and third stops at the time of forward pressing is referred. Then, after the processing of S224, the main CPU 51 ends the line mask data change processing, and the processing is S190 of the sliding piece number determination processing (see FIG. 164) or the flowchart of the second and third stop processing (see FIG. 165). ) In S205.

  In S221, when the main CPU 51 determines that the C line status is not set (when S221 is NO), the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the B line status is set (S225). . In S225, when the main CPU 51 determines that the B line status is not set (in the case where S225 is NO), the main CPU 51 ends the line mask data changing process, and the process is determined as the number of sliding frames (see FIG. 164) or the process of S205 in the flowchart of the second and third stop processing (see FIG. 165).

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the B line status is set in S225 (when S225 is YES), the main CPU 51 rotates the line mask data once to the right (S226). By this processing, for example, when the line mask data is “00000010”, it is changed to “00000001”. As a result, the column corresponding to “B line data” in the stop table (see FIGS. 31 and 32) is referred to. Then, after the processing of S226, the main CPU 51 ends the line mask data change processing, and the processing is S190 of the slip piece number determination processing (see FIG. 164) or the flowchart of the second and third stop processing (see FIG. 165). ) In S205.

[Priority pull-in control processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 168, the priority pull-in control process performed in S191 in the flowchart (see FIG. 164) of the sliding piece number determination process will be described.

  First, the main CPU 51 sets a search order table (see FIG. 35) according to the gaming state (S231). Next, the main CPU 51 sets initial values for the search order counter and the number of checks (S232). Specifically, the main CPU 51 sets “1” as an initial value in the search order counter. Further, the main CPU 51 sets the data length of the search order table as an initial value for the number of checks. Specifically, “5” is set as the initial value of the number of checks.

  Next, the main CPU 51 sets the start address of a stop order table (not shown), and adds the address of the search order table based on the sliding piece number determination data (S233).

  Next, the main CPU 51 obtains the number of sliding symbols corresponding to the value of the search order counter (S234). Next, the main CPU 51 adds the acquired number of sliding frames to the expected stop start address, and acquires pull-in priority data (S235).

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the pull-in priority data acquired in S315 exceeds the pull-in priority data acquired previously (S236). In S236, when the main CPU 51 determines that the pull-in priority data acquired in S235 does not exceed the pull-in priority data acquired previously (when S236 is NO), the main CPU 51 performs the process of S238 described later. Do.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S236 that the pull-in priority data acquired in S235 exceeds the pull-in priority data acquired previously (when S236 is YES), the main CPU 51 detects the slip acquired in S234. The number of frames is saved (S237).

  Next, the main CPU 51 subtracts 1 from the number of checks and adds 1 to the search order counter (S238).

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the number of checks is “0” (S239). When the main CPU 51 determines that the number of checks is not “0” in S239 (when S239 is NO), the main CPU 51 returns the process to S234 and repeats the processes after S234.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the number of checks is “0” in S239 (when S239 is YES), the main CPU 51 restores the number of sliding symbols that have been retreated (S240). Thereafter, the main CPU 51 ends the priority pull-in control process and also ends the number of sliding pieces determination process (see FIG. 164).

[Control change processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 169, the control change process performed in S172 in the flowchart of the reel stop control process (see FIG. 163) will be described.

  First, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not it is after the third stop (S251). When the main CPU 51 determines in S251 that it is after the third stop (when S251 is YES), the main CPU 51 ends the control change process, and the process is S173 of the reel stop control process (see FIG. 163). Move to.

  On the other hand, in S251, when the main CPU 51 determines that it is not after the third stop (when S251 is NO), the main CPU 51 determines whether or not it is after the second stop (S252). In S252, when the main CPU 51 determines that it is after the second stop (when S252 is YES), the main CPU 51 performs a control process after the second stop (S253). The details of the second post-stop control process will be described later with reference to FIG. 170 described later. After the process of S253, the main CPU 51 ends the control change process, and moves the process to S173 of the reel stop control process (see FIG. 163).

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S252 that the main CPU 51 is not after the second stop (when S252 is NO), the main CPU 51 determines whether or not it is a forward press (S254). In S254, when the main CPU 51 determines that the press is not forward (when S254 is NO), the main CPU 51 ends the control change process and moves the process to S173 of the reel stop control process (see FIG. 163). .

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S254 that the main CPU 51 is the forward press (when S254 is YES), the main CPU 51 determines the forward push control change table according to the forward push table change data (see FIG. 30). And the number of searches is set (S255).

  Next, the main CPU 51 acquires a scheduled stop position (S256). Then, the main CPU 51 updates the change target position according to the acquired planned stop position (S257).

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the change target position updated in S257 matches the planned stop position (S258). In S258, when the main CPU 51 determines that the updated change target position does not match the scheduled stop position (when S258 is NO), the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the number of searches is “0”. (S259). In S259, when the main CPU 51 determines that the number of searches is not “0” (when S259 is NO), the main CPU 51 returns the process to S257 and repeats the processes after S257.

  On the other hand, in S259, when the main CPU 51 determines that the number of searches is “0” (in the case where S259 is YES), the main CPU 51 sets the second- Obtained as the third stop table number and set the corresponding stop table (S260).

  Next, the main CPU 51 sets “0” in the C line check data (S261). After the process of S261, the main CPU 51 ends the control change process, and moves the process to S173 of the reel stop control process (see FIG. 163).

  In S258, when the main CPU 51 determines that the updated change target position coincides with the scheduled stop position (when S258 is YES), the main CPU 51 performs the second forward pressing according to the value of the line change status. The third stop table number and C line check data are acquired (S262).

  Next, the main CPU 51 sets the corresponding stop table based on the second and third stop table numbers for forward pressing (S263). After the process of S263, the main CPU 51 ends the control change process, and moves the process to S173 of the reel stop control process (see FIG. 163).

[Control change processing after second stop]
Next, the second post-stop control change process performed in S253 in the flowchart of the control change process (see FIG. 169) will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not it is a forward press (S271). In S271, when the main CPU 51 determines that it is not a forward press (when S271 is NO), the main CPU 51 ends the control change process after the second stop and also ends the control change process (see FIG. 169). To do.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S271 that the main CPU 51 is a forward press (when S271 is YES), the main CPU 51 determines whether the C line check data is on (change status is “3”) or not. Is determined (S272). The C line check data is acquired by the process of S262 of the control change process (see FIG. 169). In S272, when the main CPU 51 determines that the C line check data is not on (in the case of NO determination in S272), the main CPU 51 ends the control change process after the second stop and performs the control change process (FIG. 169) also ends.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that the C line check data is on in S272 (when S272 is YES), the main CPU 51 turns on the line change bit corresponding to the stop start position at the second stop. It is determined whether or not (S273). In S273, when the main CPU 51 determines that the line change bit corresponding to the stop start position at the time of the second stop is not ON (when S273 is NO), the main CPU 51 ends the control change process after the second stop. At the same time, the control change process (see FIG. 169) is also terminated.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S273 that the line change bit corresponding to the stop start position at the time of the second stop is on (when S273 is YES), the main CPU 51 determines that the stored forward push is performed. “1” is added to the second and third stop table numbers, and the corresponding stop table is set (S274). Next, the main CPU 51 sets the C line status (S275). Then, after the process of S275, the main CPU 51 ends the second post-stop control change process and also ends the control change process (see FIG. 169).

That is, it is checked whether an activation condition or termination condition for any RT gaming state is satisfied.

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the RT gaming state transition condition is satisfied (S282). In S282, when the main CPU 51 determines that the RT gaming state transition condition is not satisfied (when S282 is NO), the main CPU 51 performs the process of S284 described later.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S282 that the RT gaming state transition condition is satisfied (when S282 is YES), the main CPU 51 refers to the RT transition table (see FIG. 12) and transitions. Based on the conditions, the RT game state flag of the transfer destination is set to a predetermined bit of the game state flag storage area (see FIG. 40), and the game state flag storage area is updated (S283).

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs display command transmission processing (S284). Specifically, the main CPU 51 transmits a display command to the sub control circuit 42. The display command includes parameters that specify a display combination, a payout number, and the like. Then, after the process of S284, the main CPU 51 ends the RT control process, and moves the process to S18 of the main flow (see FIG. 153).

[Bonus end check process]
Next, with reference to FIG. 172, the bonus end check process performed in S19 in the main flow (see FIG. 153) will be described.

  In S322, when the main CPU 51 determines that the value of the bonus end number counter is less than “0” (in the case of YES determination in S322), the main CPU 51 performs a bonus end time process (S323). In this process, the main CPU 51 clears the bonus end number counter and turns off the gaming state flag (BB gaming state flag) corresponding to “BB” in operation. If the value of the bonus end number counter is less than “0”, 348 BB (BB1), 228 (BB2, BB3), 60 (BB4), 15 ( BB5) or 30 (BB6) is exceeded.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs a bonus end command transmission process (S324). In this process, the main CPU 51 transmits a bonus end command to the sub-control circuit 42. The bonus end command includes information indicating that the bonus game has ended.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs an initialization process at the end of the bonus (S325). Then, after the process of S325, the main CPU 51 ends the bonus end check process and moves the process to S21 of the main flow (see FIG. 153).

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S322 that the value of the bonus end number counter is not less than “0” (when S322 is NO), the main CPU 51 determines the respective values of the winning number counter and the possible game number counter. Update (S326). The value of the winning count counter is decremented by “1” when a small role (a medal payout) is displayed, and the value of the possible number of games counter is “1” for one game regardless of the stop symbol. Subtracted.

  Next, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the value of the winning number counter or the value of the possible game number counter is “0” (S327). In S327, when the main CPU 51 determines that the value of the winning number counter or the value of the game possible number counter is not “0” (when S327 is NO), the main CPU 51 ends the bonus end check process. The process proceeds to S21 of the main flow (see FIG. 153).

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S327 that the value of the winning number counter or the value of the possible game number counter is “0” (when S327 is YES), the main CPU 51 performs processing at the end of RB. (S328). Specifically, processing such as turning off the gaming state flag (RB gaming state flag) corresponding to “RB”, clearing the winning possible number counter and the gaming possible number counter, and the like are performed. Thereafter, the main CPU 51 ends the bonus end check process, and proceeds to S21 of the main flow (see FIG. 153).

[Bonus activation check process]
Next, with reference to FIG. 173, the bonus operation check process performed in S20 in the main flow (see FIG. 153) will be described.

  First, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not “BB” (“BB1” to “BB6”) is in operation (S331). In S331, when the main CPU 51 determines that “BB” is not in operation (when S331 is NO), the main CPU 51 performs the process of S334 described later.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S331 that “BB” is in operation (in the case where S331 is YES), the main CPU 51 determines whether or not “RB” is in operation (S332). ). In S332, when the main CPU 51 determines that “RB” is in operation (in the case where S332 is YES), the main CPU 51 ends the bonus operation check process, and the process of the main flow (see FIG. 153). Move to S2.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines that “RB” is not in operation in S332 (when S332 is NO), the main CPU 51 performs RB operation processing based on the bonus operation table (see FIG. 11). (S333). Then, after the process of S333, the main CPU 51 ends the bonus operation check process, and moves the process to S2 of the main flow (see FIG. 153).

  If S331 is NO, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the bonus game is a win (S334). In S334, when the main CPU 51 determines that the bonus game is not a prize (when S334 is NO), the main CPU 51 performs a process of S338 described later.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S334 that the bonus game is a win (when S334 is YES), the main CPU 51 determines the winning bonus game based on the bonus operation time table (see FIG. 10). A corresponding bonus activation process is performed (S335). In this embodiment, in this process, the main CPU 51 refers to the bonus operating time table (see FIG. 10), sets “1” to the corresponding bit in the gaming state flag storage area (see FIG. 40), The value of the bonus end number counter is a predetermined value (“348” for “BB1”, “228” for “BB2” or “BB2”, “60” for “BB4”, “BB5” ”Is set to“ 15 ”, and“ BB6 ”is set to“ 30 ”). Furthermore, in this process, the process at the time of RB operation demonstrated by said S333 is also performed.

  Next, the main CPU 51 clears the value of the carryover combination storage area (S336). Next, the main CPU 51 performs a bonus start command transmission process (S337). In this process, the main CPU 51 transmits a bonus start command to the sub-control circuit 42. The bonus start command includes information indicating that the bonus game has started. After S337, the main CPU 51 ends the bonus operation check process and moves the process to S2 of the main flow (see FIG. 153).

  When S334 is NO, the main CPU 51 determines whether or not the winning combination related to replaying is a win (S338). In S338, when the main CPU 51 determines that the role related to replay is not winning (when S338 is NO), the main CPU 51 ends the bonus operation check process, and the process of the main flow (see FIG. 153). Move to S2.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 51 determines in S338 that the winning combination related to replaying is a win (when S338 is YES), the main CPU 51 requests automatic insertion of medals (S339). That is, the main CPU 51 copies the insertion number counter to the automatic insertion number counter. After the process of S339, the main CPU 51 ends the bonus operation check process and moves the process to S2 of the main flow (see FIG. 153).

[Interrupt processing under the control of the main CPU (1.1172 msec)]
Next, with reference to FIG. 174, an interrupt process by the control of the main CPU 51 performed in S12 in the main flow (see FIG. 153) will be described.

  First, the main CPU 51 saves the register (S341). Next, the main CPU 51 performs an input port check process (S342). In this process, signals input from various switches such as the stop switch 17S are checked.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs a timer update process (S343). In this process, for example, the main CPU 51 performs a process of subtracting the value of the lock timer for each interrupt process. Next, the main CPU 51 performs communication data transmission processing (S344). In this processing, various commands are mainly transmitted to the main control circuit 41 and the sub control circuit 42 as appropriate.

  Next, the main CPU 51 performs a reel control process (S345). In this process, the main CPU 51 starts rotation of the left reel 3L, the middle reel 3C, and the right reel 3R when the start of rotation of all the reels is requested, and thereafter, each reel rotates at a constant speed. The three stepping motors 61L, 61C, 61R are driven and controlled. When the number of sliding symbols is determined, the main CPU 51 updates the symbol counter of the corresponding reel by the number of sliding symbols. Then, the main CPU 51 waits for the updated symbol counter to match the value corresponding to the scheduled stop position (the symbol at the scheduled stop position reaches the area on the active line (winning determination line) of the display window). The corresponding stepping motor is driven and controlled so that the rotation of the corresponding reel is decelerated and stopped. Further, in the present embodiment, in the process of S345, not only the above-described normal acceleration process, constant speed process and stop process, but also a reel effect pattern is set when the reel effect pattern is set during the acceleration process. Reel effect (reel action) and lock control processing are also performed.

Next, the contents of various processes (tasks) executed by the sub CPU 81 of the sub control circuit 42 using a program will be described with reference to FIGS.

[Main board communication task]
First, the main board communication task performed by the sub CPU 81 will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 81 performs reception check of the command transmitted from the main control circuit 41 (S501). Next, when receiving a command, the sub CPU 81 extracts the type of the received command (S502).

  Next, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not a command different from the previous command is received (S503). When the sub CPU 81 determines in S503 that the command different from the previous command has not been received (when S503 is NO), the sub CPU 81 returns the process to S501 and repeats the processes after S501.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S503 that the sub CPU 81 has received a command different from the previous one (when S503 is YES), the sub CPU 81 stores a message in the message queue based on the received command (S504). ). The message queue is a mechanism for exchanging information between processes.

In S512, when the sub CPU 81 determines that there is no message in the message queue (when S 512 is NO), the sub CPU 81 performs a process of S515 described later.

  On the other hand, when the sub CPU 81 determines in S512 that there is a message in the message queue (when S512 is YES), the sub CPU 81 copies game information from the message (S513). In this process, for example, various data such as an internal winning combination, a type of reel that has stopped rotating, a display combination, and a game state flag specified by parameters are copied to a storage area (not shown) provided in the sub RAM 83. The

  Next, the sub CPU 81 performs effect content determination processing (S514). In this process, the sub CPU 81 determines the contents of the effect, registers the effect data, and the like according to the type of the received command.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 registers animation data (S515). Next, the sub CPU 81 registers sound data (S516). Next, the sub CPU 81 registers lamp data (S517). These registration processes are performed based on the effect data registered in the effect content determination process in S514. Sub-CPU81 returns a process to S511 after S517, and repeats the process after S511.

[Production content decision processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 177, the effect content determination process performed in S514 in the flowchart of the effect registration task (see FIG. 176) will be described.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not a start command is received (S521).

  When the sub CPU 81 determines in S521 that the start command is being received (S521 is YES), the sub CPU 81 performs a start command receiving process (S522). In this process, the sub CPU 81 extracts a random number for production, determines the production number by lottery based on the internal winning combination and the like and registers it. Here, the production number is data for designating the production content to be executed this time. Details of the start command reception process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 registers start effect data in accordance with the registered effect number (S523). The effect data is data that designates animation data, sound data, and lamp data. Therefore, when the effect data is registered, the corresponding animation data and the like are determined, and effects such as display of video are executed. After the process of S523, the sub CPU 81 ends the effect content determination process, and moves the process to S515 of the effect registration task (see FIG. 176).

  On the other hand, when the sub CPU 81 determines in S521 that the start command is not received (S521 is NO), the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the reel stop command is received (S524).

  When the sub CPU 81 determines in S524 that the reel stop command is being received (when S524 is YES), the sub CPU 81 determines the stop time according to the registered effect number and the type of the operation stop button. The effect data is registered (S525). Thereafter, the sub CPU 81 ends the effect content determination process, and moves the process to S515 of the effect registration task (see FIG. 176).

  On the other hand, when the sub CPU 81 determines in S524 that the reel stop command is not received (when S524 is NO), the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the display command is received (S526).

  When the sub CPU 81 determines in S526 that the display command is being received (S526 is YES), the sub CPU 81 performs a display command receiving process (S527). Details of the display command reception process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 registers the effect data at the time of display according to the registered effect number and display combination (S528). Thereafter, the sub CPU 81 ends the effect content determination process, and moves the process to S515 of the effect registration task (see FIG. 176).

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S526 that the display command is not received (when S526 is NO), the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the payout end command is received (S529). In S529, when the sub CPU 81 determines that it is time to receive a payout end command (when S529 is YES), the sub CPU 81 performs payout end command reception processing (S530). Thereafter, the sub CPU 81 ends the effect content determination process, and moves the process to S515 of the effect registration task (see FIG. 176).

  On the other hand, when the sub CPU 81 determines in S529 that it is not at the time of receiving the payout end command (when S529 is NO), the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not it is at the time of receiving the bonus start command (S531).

  When the sub CPU 81 determines in S531 that the bonus start command is being received (when S531 is YES), the sub CPU 81 registers effect data for starting the bonus (S532). Thereafter, the sub CPU 81 ends the effect content determination process, and moves the process to S515 of the effect registration task (see FIG. 176).

  On the other hand, when the sub CPU 81 determines in S531 that the bonus start command is not received (S531 is NO), the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the bonus end command is received (S533). When the sub CPU 81 determines in S533 that the bonus end command has been received (YES in S533), the sub CPU 81 registers the bonus end effect data (S534).

  Further, when the ART is started after the bonus ends, the sub CPU 81 stores “1” in the “preparing identification data storage area”. As a result, the pachislot 1 becomes “ART ready” after the bonus ends.

  Further, if the bonus to be ended is any one of “BB1” to “BB4”, the sub CPU 81 stores “0” in the “rocket identification data storage area”. Thereby, when the sub gaming state is “R_ART”, the “R_ART” is ended. Then, the sub gaming state becomes “G_ART”. Thereafter, the sub CPU 81 ends the effect content determination process, and moves the process to S515 of the effect registration task (see FIG. 176).

  When the sub CPU 81 determines in S533 that the bonus end command is not received (when S533 is NO), the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not a no-operation command is received (S535). In S535, when the sub CPU 81 determines that it is not a no-operation command reception (in the case of NO determination in S535), the sub CPU 81 ends the effect content determination process and performs the process of the effect registration task (see FIG. 176). Move to S515.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S535 that the sub CPU 81 is receiving a no-operation command (when S535 is YES), the sub CPU 81 performs a no-operation command receiving process (S536). The details of the no-operation command reception process will be described later with reference to FIG. 189 described later. After the process of S536, the sub CPU 81 ends the effect content determination process, and moves the process to S515 of the effect registration task (see FIG. 176).

[Start command reception processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 178, the start command reception process performed in S522 in the flowchart of the effect content determination process (see FIG. 177) will be described. In this embodiment, the start command reception process described below is executed by the sub-control circuit 42.

  First, the sub CPU 81 performs a mode lottery process (S541). In the present embodiment, when the sub game state is the “general state”, a plurality of modes having different probabilities of winning the “CZ (chance zone)” are provided. In the process of S541, a lottery of a plurality of modes in this “general state” is performed. In this transition lottery, a mode lottery table (not shown) in which lottery values for each mode are set according to the internal winning combination is used.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 performs CZ lottery processing (S542). In this process, a CZ lottery table (not shown) in which CZ lottery values are set according to the internal winning combination and mode is used.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 performs an ART lottery process (S543). The details of the ART lottery process will be described later with reference to FIG. 179 described later. Next, the sub CPU 81 performs ART processing (S544). Details of the ART processing will be described later with reference to FIG. 180 described later. The ART lottery process and the process during ART show a specific example of the assist state lottery means according to the present invention.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 performs a fixed combination time process (S545). Details of the fixed combination time process will be described later with reference to FIG. 181 described later. Next, the sub CPU 81 performs VR-related processing (S546). Details of the VR-related processing will be described later with reference to FIG. 182 described later.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 performs a bonus mid-process (S547). Details of the bonus mid-process will be described later with reference to FIG. 183 described later. Next, the sub CPU 81 performs effect lottery processing (S548). Details of the effect lottery process will be described later with reference to FIG. 184 described later. After the process of S548, the sub CPU 81 ends the process at the time of receiving the start command, and moves the process to S523 of the effect content determination process (see FIG. 177).

[ART lottery processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 179, the ART lottery process performed in S543 in the flowchart (see FIG. 178) of the start command reception process will be described.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the sub gaming state is “general state” or “CZ (chance zone)” (S561). In S561, when the sub CPU 81 determines that the sub game state is not the “general state” or “CZ (chance zone)” (when S561 is NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the ART lottery process, Is shifted to S544 of the start command reception process (see FIG. 178).

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S561 that the sub gaming state is “general state” or “CZ (chance zone)” (when S561 is YES), the sub CPU 81 determines various ART lottery tables (FIGS. 50 to 57). Based on the reference, ART lottery is performed (S562). Next, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the lottery result is “lost” (S563). In S563, when the sub CPU 81 determines that the lottery result is “losing” (in the case where S563 is YES), the sub CPU 81 ends the ART lottery process, and starts the process when the start command is received (see FIG. 178). ) To S544.

  On the other hand, when the sub CPU 81 determines in S563 that the lottery result is not “losing” (when S563 is NO), the sub CPU 81 stores information corresponding to the lottery result (S564). Specifically, if the lottery result is “D_ART winning”, “1” is stored in the “ART identification data storage area”, and if the lottery result is “B_ART winning”, it is stored in the “ART identification data storage area”. “2” is stored. If the lottery result is “G_ART winning”, “3” is stored in the “ART identification data storage area”.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 determines the loop mode with reference to the ART initial mode lottery table (FIGS. 91 to 102), and stores it in the “loop mode storage area” (S565). In this process, if the lottery result of the ART lottery is “B_ART winning”, “loop mode 1 (50%)” is always determined. In the continuous lottery in “B_ART”, “losing” is always determined. Therefore, “B_ART” is not continued (looped).

  Next, the sub CPU 81 determines the number of ART precursor games based on the precursor game number lottery table (see FIGS. 145 to 148) and sets it in the ART precursor counter (S566). After the process of S566, the sub CPU 81 ends the ART lottery process and moves the process to S544 of the start command reception process (see FIG. 178).

[Processing during ART]
Next, with reference to FIG. 180, a description will be given of the ART processing performed in S544 in the flowchart of the start command reception processing (see FIG. 178).

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the sub game state is any one of “ART”, “ART precursor”, and “ART in preparation” (S571). In other words, it is determined whether or not the sub gaming state is “non-bonus” and “other than loop mode 0”. In S571, when the sub CPU 81 determines that it is not “ART”, “ART precursor”, or “ART ready” (when S571 is NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the ART processing and performs the processing. The process proceeds to S545 of the start command reception process (see FIG. 178).

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S571 that the sub CPU 81 is any one of “ART”, “ART precursor”, and “ART ready” (when S571 is YES), the sub CPU 81 determines the ART type transfer lottery. Referring to the tables (see FIGS. 58 to 77), ART type transfer lottery is performed (S572). Then, the sub CPU 81 stores the lottery result of the ART type transfer lottery in the “ART identification data storage area”.

  Specifically, if the lottery result is “D_ART shift”, “1” is stored in the “ART identification data storage area”, and if the lottery result is “B_ART shift”, it is stored in the “ART identification data storage area”. “2” is stored. If the lottery result is “G_ART shift”, “3” is stored in the “ART identification data storage area”. If the lottery result is “R_ART shift”, “1” is stored in the “rocket flag storage area”. Since “R_ART shift” is won (determined) during “G_ART”, when “1” is stored in the “rocket flag storage area”, “3” is displayed in the “ART identification data storage area”. Stored.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 performs the ART mode transition lottery with reference to the ART mode transition lottery table (see FIGS. 103 to 114) (S573). Then, the sub CPU 81 stores the lottery result of the ART mode transition lottery in the “loop mode storage area”.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 refers to the extra lottery table during ART (see FIGS. 124 to 126) and performs extra lottery (S574). Then, the sub CPU 81 updates the values of the “ART game number counter” and the “VR stock counter” based on the lottery result of the extra lottery (addition value based on the lottery result is added).

  Next, the sub CPU 81 performs a continuous lottery process (S575). In this continuous lottery process, continuous lottery is performed with reference to a continuous lottery table (not shown). Then, when “continuation” is won, the sub CPU 81 stores “1” in the “continuation flag storage area”. When the current ART (“B_ART” or “G_ART”) ends and the next ART (looped ART) starts, the sub CPU 81 stores “0” in the “continuation flag storage area”. To do.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not it is “G_ART shift” or “VR winning” (S576). “G_ART shift” is determined by the ART type transfer lottery in S572, and “VR winning” is determined by the additional lottery in S574. In S576, when the sub CPU 81 determines that it is not “G_ART shift” and “VR winning” (when S576 is NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the ART processing, and starts the process when the start command is received ( The process proceeds to S545 in FIG.

  In S576, when the sub CPU 81 determines that it is “G_ART shift” or “VR winning” (when S576 is YES), the sub CPU 81 determines the ART early warning game number lottery table (see FIGS. 149 to 151). ), The number of precursor games is determined, and the number of precursor games is determined (S577). Then, the sub CPU 81 sets the number of precursor games in the “combination precursor counter” or “VR precursor counter”. After the processing of S577, the sub CPU 81 ends the ART processing, and moves the processing to S545 of the start command reception processing (see FIG. 178).

[Processing when finalizing role]
Next, with reference to FIG. 181, the fixed combination time process performed in S545 in the flowchart of the start command reception process (see FIG. 178) will be described.

  In the present embodiment, apart from lottery processing such as type transition lottery mode transition lottery in the “general state” and “ART”, lottery processing such as type transition lottery and mode transition lottery is performed at the time of a decisive combination. Therefore, the lottery result at the time of the final combination may overlap with the lottery result in the “general state” or “ART”. In this case, any duplicate lottery result is validated.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not it is a confirmed winning combination (S581). In the present embodiment, when the internal lottery process is any one of “Lose (R4)”, “BB2 (R1 to 4)”, and “PB1 to 4”, the final combination time is set.

  “Lose (R4)” is a case where “Lost” is determined as the internal winning combination and “Game lock 4” is determined, and “BB2 (R1-4)” is “BB2” as the internal winning combination. Is determined, and any one of “game lock 1” to “game lock 4” is determined. “PB1 to 4” is a case where any of “PB1” to “PB4” is determined as the internal winning combination. Note that “BB2 (R1-4)” and “PB1-4” do not include the carryover time.

  When the sub CPU 81 determines in S581 that it is not a confirmed winning combination (in the case where S581 is NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the confirmed winning time process, and the process is a start command receiving process (see FIG. 178). To S546.

  When the sub CPU 81 determines in S581 that the winning combination is being won (if S581 is YES), the sub CPU 81 refers to the determined combination ART type transition lottery table (see FIGS. 78 to 86). Then, type transfer lottery is performed (S582). Then, the sub CPU 81 stores the lottery result of the type transfer lottery in the “ART identification data storage area”.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 performs mode transition lottery with reference to the determined combination mode transition lottery table (see FIGS. 115 to 119) (S583). Then, the sub CPU 81 stores the lottery result of the mode transition lottery in the “loop mode storage area”.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 performs an extra lottery with reference to the extra lottery table (see FIGS. 127 to 136) for the confirmed combination (S584). Then, the sub CPU 81 updates the values of the “ART game number counter” and the “VR stock counter” based on the lottery result of the extra lottery (addition value based on the lottery result is added).

  Next, the sub CPU 81 performs a continuous lottery process (S585). In this continuous lottery process, continuous lottery is performed with reference to a continuous lottery table (not shown). It should be noted that “continuation” is always won in the continuous lottery in S585, which is a confirmed combination. Then, the sub CPU 81 stores “1” in the “continuation flag storage area”.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not it is “VR winning” (S586). In S586, when the sub CPU 81 determines that it is not “VR winning” (in the case where S586 is NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the fixed combination time process, and starts the process when the start command is received (see FIG. 178). To S546.

  In S586, when the sub CPU 81 determines that the “VR winning” is set (when S586 is YES), the sub CPU 81 sets “1” to the “VR precursor counter” (S587). That is, if “VR winning” is determined at the time of a final combination, “VR (Viking Rush)” is started from the next game. After the process of S587, the sub CPU 81 ends the fixed combination time process and moves the process to S546 of the start command reception process (see FIG. 178).

[VR related processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 182, the VR related processing performed in S546 in the flowchart of the start command reception processing (see FIG. 178) will be described.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not “VR (hiking rush)” is being performed (S591). In S591, when the sub CPU 81 determines that “VR (hiking rush)” is not in progress (when S581 is NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the VR-related processing, and executes the start command reception processing (FIG. (See 178).

  When the sub CPU 81 determines in S591 that “VR (hiking rush)” is in progress (when S591 is YES), the sub CPU 81 determines that the “VR guaranteed game number counter” is “1” or more. It is determined whether or not (S592).

  In S592, when the sub CPU 81 determines that the “VR guaranteed game number counter” is not equal to or greater than “1” (when S592 is NO), refer to the VR billy touch lottery table (see FIG. 143). Then, the touch correspondence (correct answer of the touch) is determined (S593). After the processing of S593, the sub CPU 81 ends the VR related processing, and moves the processing to S547 of the start command reception processing (see FIG. 178).

  In S592, when the sub CPU 81 determines that the “VR guaranteed game number counter” is equal to or greater than “1” (when S592 is YES), the sub CPU 81 determines “both correct answers” as touch correspondence, “4” is stored in the “touch corresponding data storage area”. Then, “1” is subtracted from the “VR guaranteed game number counter” (S594). After the process of S594, the sub CPU 81 ends the VR related process, and moves the process to S547 of the start command reception process (see FIG. 178).

[Bonus processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 183, the mid-bonus process performed in S547 in the flowchart of the start command reception process (see FIG. 178) will be described.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not a bonus is in progress (S601). When the sub CPU 81 determines in S601 that the bonus is not in effect (when S601 is NO), the sub CPU 81 terminates the bonus in-progress processing, and proceeds to S548 in the start command reception processing (see FIG. 178). Move.

  When the sub CPU 81 determines in S601 that the bonus is being performed (when S601 is YES), the sub CPU 81 refers to the bonus type transition lottery table (see FIGS. 87 to 90), and determines the type transition lottery. (S602). Then, the sub CPU 81 stores the lottery result of the type transfer lottery in the “ART identification data storage area”.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 performs mode transition lottery with reference to the bonus mode transition lottery table (see FIGS. 120 to 123) (S603). Then, the sub CPU 81 stores the lottery result of the mode transition lottery in the “loop mode storage area”.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 performs an extra lottery with reference to the bonus extra lottery table (see FIGS. 137 to 140) (S604). Then, the sub CPU 81 updates the values of the “ART game number counter” and the “VR stock counter” based on the lottery result of the extra lottery (addition value based on the lottery result is added). After the processing of S604, the sub CPU 81 ends the mid-bonus processing and moves the processing to S548 of the start command reception processing (see FIG. 178).

[Direction lottery processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 184, the effect lottery process performed in S548 in the flowchart (see FIG. 178) of the start command reception process will be described.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the winning combination is any one of “PB1” to “PB4” (S611). In S611, when the sub CPU 81 determines that the winning combination is any one of “PB1” to “PB4” (in the case where S611 is YES), the sub CPU 81 determines that the “production that aims at the billy” No. ”is set (S612). After the process of S612, the sub CPU 81 ends the effect lottery process and the start command reception process (see FIG. 178).

  In addition, as the “directive aiming for the billy”, for example, an effect of prompting a stop operation in which a symbol of “upper billy” and a symbol of “lower billy” are arranged along the winning determination line, or “PB1” as an internal winning combination This is an effect to notify that any one of “PB4” has been determined. That is, “Aim for Billy” indicates a specific example of the special symbol display notification according to the present invention.

  In S611, when the sub CPU 81 determines that the winning combination is not “PB1” to “PB4” (when S611 is NO), the sub CPU 81 determines that the gaming state is “RB3 gaming state” or “RB4”. It is determined whether or not the game state is set (S613).

  In S613, when the sub CPU 81 determines that the gaming state is “RB3 gaming state” or “RB4 gaming state” (in the case where S613 is YES), the sub CPU 81 corresponds to “Aim for Billy”. “Production No.” is set (S614). After the process of S614, the sub CPU 81 ends the effect lottery process and ends the start command reception process (see FIG. 178).

  In S613, when the sub CPU 81 determines that the gaming state is not “RB3 gaming state” or “RB4 gaming state” (when S613 is NO), the sub CPU 81 determines the effect lottery based on the gaming state and the winning combination. Processing is performed (S615). Then, the “production No.” determined by the production lottery process is set. After the process of S615, the sub CPU 81 ends the effect lottery process and ends the start command reception process (see FIG. 178).

[Process when receiving display command]
Next, with reference to FIG. 185, the display combination command reception process performed in S527 in the flowchart of the effect content determination process (see FIG. 177) will be described.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not “ART preparation is in progress” (S621). In S621, when the sub CPU 81 determines that “ART is being prepared” (when S621 is YES), the sub CPU 81 displays the symbol combination corresponding to “RT2 transition lip” along the winning determination line. It is determined whether or not it has been done (S622).

  When the sub CPU 81 determines in S622 that the symbol combination corresponding to “RT2 transition lip” is not displayed along the winning determination line (when S622 is NO), the sub CPU 81 receives the display combination command. The time process ends, and the process moves to S528 of the effect content determination process (see FIG. 177).

  When the sub CPU 81 determines in S622 that the symbol combination corresponding to “RT2 transition lip” is displayed along the winning determination line (when S622 is YES), the sub CPU 81 determines that “the identification data being prepared is stored”. “Region” is cleared (S623). That is, “0” is stored in the “preparing identification data storage area”. After the process of S623, the sub CPU 81 ends the display combination command reception process, and moves the process to S528 of the effect content determination process (see FIG. 177).

  When the sub CPU 81 determines in S621 that it is not “ART ready” (when S621 is NO), the sub CPU 81 performs a count process (S624). Details of the counting process will be described later with reference to FIG. 186 described later.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 performs a VR related display process (S625). Details of the VR related display processing will be described later with reference to FIG. 188 described later. After the process of S625, the sub CPU 81 ends the display combination command reception process, and moves the process to S528 of the effect content determination process (see FIG. 177).

[Count processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 186, the count process performed in S624 in the flowchart (see FIG. 185) of the display combination command reception process will be described.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not “VR (Viking Rush)” or “R_ART” is in progress (S641). In S641, when the sub CPU 81 determines that it is during “VR” or “R_ART” (when S 641 is YES), the sub CPU 81 performs processing of S648 described later.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S641 that the sub CPU 81 is not in “VR” or “R_ART” (S641 is NO), the sub CPU 81 is in “D_ART”, “B_ART” or “ It is determined whether or not “G_ART” is in progress (S642). In S642, when the sub CPU 81 determines that it is not in “D_ART” or “B_ART” (when S642 is NO), the sub CPU 81 performs processing in S648 described later.

  In S642, when the sub CPU 81 determines that “D_ART” or “B_ART” is being performed (when S642 is YES), the sub CPU 81 subtracts “1” from the value of the ART game number counter ( S643).

  Next, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the value of the ART game number counter has become “0” (S644). In S644, when the sub CPU 81 determines that the value of the ART game number counter is not “0” (when S 644 is NO), the sub CPU 81 performs a process of S648 described later.

  On the other hand, when the sub CPU 81 determines in S644 that the value of the ART game number counter has become “0” (when S644 is YES), the sub CPU 81 stores “1” in the “continuation flag storage area”. It is determined whether or not it has been performed (S645).

  When the sub CPU 81 determines that “1” is stored in the “continuation flag storage area” in S645 (when S645 is YES), the sub CPU 81 performs continuation processing (S646). In this continuation process, the sub CPU 81 stores “0” in the “continuation flag storage area”. Also, an initial value (for example, “50”) is set in the ART game number counter. After the process of S646, the sub CPU 81 performs a process of S648 described later.

  In the present embodiment, the initial value set in the ART game number counter is set to a predetermined value (for example, “50”). However, the initial value to be set in the ART game number counter according to the present invention may be determined by lottery as one of a plurality of predetermined values. Further, when the ART corresponding to the first “continuation” is executed, one of a plurality of predetermined values may be determined by lottery and used as an initial value.

  When the sub CPU 81 determines that “1” is not stored in the “continuation flag storage area” in S645 (when S645 is NO), the sub CPU 81 clears the corresponding sub storage area (S647). . Specifically, “0” is stored in the “unaltered lottery state storage area”, “loop mode storage area”, and “ART identification data storage area”.

  After the process of S646, after the process of S647, if S641 is YES, S642 is NO, or S644 is NO, the sub CPU 81 performs a precursor check process (S648). Details of the warning check process will be described later with reference to FIG. 187 described later. After the process of S648, the sub CPU 81 ends the count process, and moves the process to S625 of the display combination command reception process (see FIG. 185).

[Precursor check processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 187, the precursor check process performed in S648 in the flowchart of the count process (see FIG. 186) will be described.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not it is a precursor (S661). That is, it is determined whether or not the number of precursor games is set in various precursor counters (CZ precursor counter, ART precursor counter, coalescence precursor counter, rocket precursor counter, and VR precursor counter). When the sub CPU 81 determines in S661 that the warning is not in progress (when S661 is NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the warning check process and also ends the count process (see FIG. 186).

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S661 that the sub CPU 81 is a precursor (when S661 is YES), the sub CPU 81 subtracts “1” from the values of various precursor counters (S662). Next, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the values of various precursor counters are “0” (S663). In S663, when the sub CPU 81 determines that the values of the various precursor counters are not “0” (when S663 is NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the precursor check process and counts the process (see FIG. 186). Also ends.

  On the other hand, in S663, when the sub CPU 81 determines that the value of the various precursor counters is “0” (in the case of YES determination in S663), the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the CZ (chance zone) starts. It is determined (S664). That is, it is determined whether the counter that has become “0” is a CZ precursor counter.

  In S664, when the sub CPU 81 determines that the CZ (chance zone) starts (when S664 is YES), the sub CPU 81 performs CZ start processing (S665). After the process of S665, the sub CPU 81 ends the warning check process and also ends the count process (see FIG. 186).

  In the CZ start time process, the CZ game number lottery table (not shown) is referred to determine the CZ game number and set it in the CZ game number counter. Further, “1” is stored in the CZ identification data storage area.

  On the other hand, when the sub CPU 81 determines in S664 that it is not at the start of CZ (chance zone) (when S664 is NO), the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not it is the start of “D_ART” or “B_ART”. Is discriminated (S666). That is, it is determined whether the counter that has become “0” is an ART precursor counter.

  In S666, when the sub CPU 81 determines that it is the start time of “D_ART” or “B_ART” (when S666 is YES), the sub CPU 81 performs an ART start process (S667). In the ART start process, the sub CPU 81 sets an initial value (eg, “50”) in the “ART game number counter”. Further, the sub CPU 81 sets “1” in the “preparing identification data storage area”. In the RT2 gaming state, “1” is not set in the “preparing identification data storage area”. After the process of S667, the sub CPU 81 ends the warning check process and also ends the count process (see FIG. 186).

  On the other hand, when the sub CPU 81 determines in S666 that it is not the time of starting “D_ART” or “B_ART” (when S666 is NO), the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not it is the time of starting “G_ART”. (S668). That is, it is determined whether or not the counter that has become “0” is a coalescence precursor counter.

  In S668, when the sub CPU 81 determines that it is time to start “G_ART” (when S668 is YES), the sub CPU 81 performs G_ART start time processing (S669). In this G_ART start process, the sub CPU 81 sets an initial value (for example, “50”) in the “ART game number counter”. Further, the sub CPU 81 stores “3” in the “ART identification data storage area”. After the process of S669, the sub CPU 81 ends the warning check process and also ends the count process (see FIG. 186).

  On the other hand, when the sub CPU 81 determines in S668 that it is not the time to start “G_ART” (when S668 is NO), the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not it is the time to start “R_ART” (S670). That is, it is determined whether the counter that has become “0” is a rocket precursor counter.

  In S670, when the sub CPU 81 determines that “R_ART” starts (when S670 is YES), the sub CPU 81 performs R_ART start processing (S671). In the R_ART start process, the sub CPU 81 stores “1” in the “rocket identification data storage area”. After the process of S671, the sub CPU 81 ends the warning check process and also ends the count process (see FIG. 186).

  On the other hand, when the sub CPU 81 determines in S670 that it is not the time to start “R_ART” (when S670 is NO), the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not it is the time to start “VR” (S672). That is, it is determined whether the counter that has become “0” is a VR precursor counter.

  When the sub CPU 81 determines in S672 that it is not at the time of starting “VR” (when S672 is NO), the sub CPU 81 ends the precursor check process and also ends the count process (see FIG. 186).

  On the other hand, in S672, when the sub CPU 81 determines that “VR” starts (when S672 is YES), the sub CPU 81 performs VR start processing (S673). In the VR start process, the sub CPU 81 subtracts “1” from the value of the VR stock counter. Further, “1” is stored in the VR identification data storage area. As a result, the sub gaming state becomes “VR”. That is, “VR” is started from the next game (game) in which the VR start processing of S673 is performed. After the process of S673, the sub CPU 81 ends the precursor check process and also ends the count process (see FIG. 186).

[VR related display processing]
Next, with reference to FIG. 188, the VR related display time process performed in S625 in the flowchart of the display combination command reception time process (see FIG. 185) will be described. This VR related display time process shows a specific example of the alternative production execution means according to the present invention.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not “VR” is in progress (S681). When the sub CPU 81 determines in step S681 that “VR” is not in progress (NO in step S681), the sub CPU 81 ends the VR related display time process and also displays the display combination command reception process (see FIG. 185). ) Ends.

  When the sub CPU 81 determines in S681 that “VR” is in progress (YES in S681), the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not it is the 8G (game) eye of “VR” (S682). . In S682, when the sub CPU 81 determines that it is the 8G (game) eye of “VR” (S682 is YES), the sub CPU 81 performs the process of S686 described later.

  In S682, when the sub CPU 81 determines that it is not the 8G (game) eye of “VR” (when S 682 is NO), the sub CPU 81 performs a VR touch correct / incorrect determination process (S683). In the VR touch correct / incorrect determination processing, the VR correspondence bill lottery table (see FIG. 143) is referred to, and the touch correspondence (correct touch) determined when the start lever 16 is operated and the value in the touch operation identification data storage area are determined. Based on this, the correctness is determined.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not the result of the VR touch correct / incorrect determination process is “success” (S684). In S684, when it is determined that the result of the VR touch correct / incorrect determination process is “success” (when S684 is YES), the sub CPU 81 adds “1” to the “VR correct answer counter” (S685). . After the processing of S685, the sub CPU 81 ends the VR related display time processing and ends the display combination command reception processing (see FIG. 185).

  In S682, when the sub CPU 81 determines that it is the 8G (game) eye of “VR” (S682 is YES), the sub CPU 81 performs a VR clear process (S686). In the VR clearing process, the sub CPU 81 refers to the extra lottery table (see FIG. 144) at the time of VR clearing, and lottery the extra contents. Then, a value corresponding to the determined addition content is added to the “ART game number counter” and the “VR stock counter”.

  After the process of S686, or when S684 is YES, the sub CPU 81 performs the VR extra process (S687). In the VR extra process, the sub CPU 81 determines the additional game number according to the value of the “VR correct answer counter” and adds it to the “ART game number counter”.

  Next, the sub CPU 81 performs a VR end process (S688). In the VR end process, the sub CPU 81 stores “0” in the “VR identification data storage area”. If the value of the “VR stock counter” is “1” or more, the number of precursor games is determined by referring to the ART predictor game number random determination table (see FIGS. 149 to 151). Then, the determined number of precursor games is added to the “VR precursor counter”. After the processing of S688, the sub CPU 81 ends the VR related display time processing and ends the display combination command reception time processing (see FIG. 185).

[Processing when no operation command is received]
Next, with reference to FIG. 189, the non-operation command reception process performed in S536 in the flowchart of the effect content determination process (see FIG. 177) will be described.

  First, the sub CPU 81 determines whether or not there is a touch input (S701). When the sub CPU 81 determines in S701 that there is no touch input (NO in S701), the sub CPU 81 ends the no-operation command reception process and also ends the effect content determination process (see FIG. 177). To do.

  On the other hand, when the sub CPU 81 determines in S701 that there is a touch input (when S701 is YES), the sub CPU 81 stores data corresponding to the touch input in the touch operation identification data storage area corresponding to the touch input. (S702). After the process of S702, the sub CPU 81 ends the no-operation command reception process and also ends the effect content determination process (see FIG. 177).

  In S702, when a touch operation (input) is performed on the character decoration unit 22L, “1” is stored in the touch operation identification data storage area, and when a touch operation is performed on the character decoration unit 22R, “2” is stored in the touch operation identification data storage area.

<Billy Bonus>
Next, the billy bonus will be described.
In this embodiment, three types of billy bonuses are provided. That is, in this embodiment, the billy bonus A, the billy bonus B, and the billy bonus C are provided.

  In the present embodiment, when the internal winning combination (PB1 to PB4) related to the operation of the billy bonus is determined, “effect aiming for billy” is performed. That is, it is notified that the stop operation should be performed so that the symbol “billy (formed by the upper billy and the lower billy)” is displayed in the display window 4. When the combination of symbols corresponding to “PB1” to “PB4” is stopped and displayed, the corresponding billy bonus is activated.

  In the present embodiment, during the operation of the billy bonus (Billy Bonus A, Billy Bonus B or Billy Bonus C), “aim for donation” is performed. This “aim for don” effect is, for example, an effect of prompting a stop operation such that “Don 1” and “Don 2” symbols are arranged along the winning determination line. In other words, “Aim for Don” is a specific example of the specific symbol display notification according to the present invention. By performing this “Aim for Dong”, the player recognizes that the symbol “Don 1” or “Don 2” may be stopped and displayed along the winning determination line during the billy bonus. can do.

[Billy Bonus A]
Billy bonus A (RB4) shows a specific example of the first special game according to the present invention. In this billy bonus A, “PB1” and “PB2” are determined as internal winning combinations, and the symbol combination corresponding to “PB1” (“upper billy”-“upper billy”-“ice”) or “PB2” is supported. This is activated when the symbol combination ("lower billy"-"ice"-"ice") is displayed along the winning determination line.

  “PB1” and “PB2” are specific examples of the first special internal winning combination according to the present invention. When the symbol combination corresponding to “PB1” or “PB2” is stopped and displayed, one “Billy (formed by upper billy and lower billy)” symbol is displayed in the display window 4. This “Billy (formed by an upper billy and a lower billy)” symbol represents a specific example of a special symbol according to the present invention.

  The gaming state in which the billy bonus A (RB4) is operating is the RB4 gaming state (see FIG. 11). Therefore, during the billy bonus A, the internal winning combination is determined with reference to the internal lottery table for RB3, 4 gaming state (see FIG. 21).

  When referring to the RB3, 4 gaming state internal lottery table (see FIG. 21), one of the winning numbers “1” to “5” or “losing” is determined. When any one of the winning numbers “1” to “5” is determined, any one of “35” to “39” is acquired as the data pointer for the small role / replay. In addition, when “losing” is determined, “0” is acquired as the small role / replay data pointer.

  In the internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table for RB3, 4 gaming state, for example, when a winning number “3” (abbreviation “JAC10 (per don single temper)”) is won, “37” is used as a data pointer for a small role / replay Is acquired. When “37” is acquired as the data pointer for the small role / replay, “Bell”, “Ice”, “Cherry 1” to “Cherry 5”, “Cherry 7” to “Cherry 9” are used as the internal winning combination. , “One-hand combination”, “BB & Billy medium use combination 1” to “BB & Billy medium use combination 4”, “Billy medium use combination 1” and “Don 1 control use” are determined (see FIG. 26).

  If the symbol combination (“Don 2”-“Don 1”-“Lip”) corresponding to “BB & Billy Medium Utility 1” is displayed along the winning decision line in Billy Bonus A, The medal is paid out (see FIG. 8). The number of possible winnings in the RB4 gaming state is “1” (see FIG. 11), so the billy bonus A ends. In addition, when the symbol combination corresponding to “BB & Billy Medium Utility 1” is displayed along the winning determination line, if the stop button is pressed at a predetermined timing, the combination of the first specific symbols (“Don 1 "-" Don 1 "-" Don 1 ") are displayed along the cross-up line 8d.

  If the symbol combination ("Don 2"-"Cherry"-"ANY") corresponding to "BB & Billy Medium Utility 2" is displayed along the winning line in Billy Bonus A, 15 medals Is paid out and Billy Bonus A ends. In addition, when the symbol combination corresponding to “BB & Billy Medium Utility 2” is displayed along the winning determination line, if the stop button is pressed at a predetermined timing, the combination of the first specific symbols (“don” 1 "-" Don 1 "-" Don 1 ") is displayed along the center line 8b.

  If the symbol combination (“Don 1”-“Lip”-“Ice”) corresponding to “BB & Billy Medium Utility 3” is displayed along the winning line in Billy Bonus A, 15 medals Is paid out and Billy Bonus A ends. In addition, when the symbol combination corresponding to “BB & Billy Medium Utility 3” is displayed along the winning determination line, if the stop button is pressed at a predetermined timing, the combination of the first specific symbols (“Don 1 "-" Don 1 "-" Don 1 ") is displayed along the bottom line 8c.

  If the symbol combination ("Don 1"-"Cherry"-"Ice") corresponding to "BB & Billy Medium Use 4" is displayed along the winning line in Billy Bonus A, 15 medals Is paid out and Billy Bonus A ends. In addition, when the symbol combination corresponding to “BB & Billy Medium Utility 4” is displayed along the winning determination line, if the stop button is pressed at a predetermined timing, the combination of the first specific symbols (“Don 1 "-" Don 1 "-" Don 1 ") are displayed along the cross-up line 8d.

  As described above, the player recognizes that the combination of the first specific symbols ("Don 1"-"Don 1"-"Don 1") may be stopped and displayed in the billy bonus A. Yes. Then, when the player performs a stop operation such that the combination of specific symbols (“Don 1”-“Don 1”-“Don 1”) is stopped and displayed, the above-mentioned stop button is pressed at a predetermined timing. It is easy to become.

  In the present embodiment, “BB & Billy medium use combination 1” to “BB & Billy medium use combination 4” indicate one specific example of the first internal winning combination. That is, the first internal winning combination is the combination of the first specific symbols (“Don 1”-“Don 1”-“Don 1”) when the corresponding symbol combination is displayed along the winning determination line. This is an internal winning combination that can be displayed along the winning determination line.

  The first specific symbol combination ("Don 1"-"Don 1"-"Don 1") is a symbol corresponding to the internal winning combination "BB2" defined when the number of inserted symbols is three. (See FIG. 8). However, the first specific symbol combination ("Don 1"-"Don 1"-"Don 1") is not a symbol corresponding to the internal winning combination defined when the number of inserted symbols is one. Therefore, even if the combination of the first specific symbols (“Don 1”-“Don 1”-“Don 1”) is displayed along the winning determination line in the billy bonus A, the operation of “BB2” is performed. Absent.

  On the other hand, in the billy bonus A, the symbol combination corresponding to "Bell" ("ANY"-"Bell"-"ANY") and the symbol combination corresponding to "Ice" ("Ice"-"Ice"-"Ice" ")" Is displayed along the winning determination line, 15 medals are paid out and the billy bonus A ends. When a symbol combination corresponding to “bell”, “ice” or the like is displayed along the winning determination line, the combination of the first specific symbols (“ Don 1 "-" Don 1 "-" Don 1 ") are not displayed along the winning determination line.

  “Bell”, “ice”, and the like in the present embodiment indicate a specific example of the second internal winning combination. That is, the second internal winning combination indicates that the combination of the first specific symbols (“Don 1” − “Don 1” − “Don 1”) is displayed when the corresponding symbol combination is displayed along the winning determination line. This is an internal winning combination that is not displayed along the winning line.

  In the present embodiment, when “35” to “39” are acquired as the small combination / replay data pointer, the first internal winning combination and the second internal winning combination are won. Then, when “35” or “36” is acquired as the data pointer for the small role / replay, if the stop button is pressed at a predetermined timing, the symbol combination corresponding to the first internal winning combination is won. Displayed along the judgment line. However, the combination of the first specific symbols (“Don 1”-“Don 1”-“Don 1”) is not displayed along the winning determination line. As a result, the first specific symbol combination (“Don 1”-“Don 1”-“Don 1”) is not displayed along the winning determination line, and the billy bonus A ends.

  If “35” or “36” is acquired as the small role / replay data pointer and the stop button is pressed at a predetermined timing, the combination of the first specific symbols (until the second stop) “Don 1” − “Don 1” − “Don 1”) is a stop mode that can be displayed along the winning determination line.

  In addition, when “35” or “36” is acquired as the small role / replay data pointer, if the stop button is not pressed at a predetermined timing, the second internal winning such as “bell” and “ice” The combination of symbols corresponding to the combination is displayed, and the billy bonus A ends.

  On the other hand, if “37” to “39” are acquired as the small role / replay data pointer, and the stop button is pressed at a predetermined timing, the symbol combination corresponding to the first internal winning combination, A combination of the first specific symbols (“Don 1”-“Don 1”-“Don 1”) is displayed along the winning determination line. As a result, the combination of the first specific symbols (“Don 1”-“Don 1”-“Don 1”) is displayed along the winning determination line, and the billy bonus A ends.

  If “37” to “39” are acquired as the small role / replay data pointer and the stop button is not pressed at a predetermined timing, the second internal winning combination such as “bell” and “ice” is used. The combination of symbols corresponding to the combination is displayed, and the billy bonus A ends.

  By the way, when “losing” is determined in the billy bonus A, in this embodiment, a combination of the first specific symbols (“Don 1”-“Don 1”-“Don 1”) or a combination of the second specific symbols (“ Stop control is performed so that “Don 2” − “Don 1” − “Don 1”) is displayed along the winning determination line. Billy Bonus A ends with 4 games or 1 win. Therefore, the billy bonus A ends when “losing” is determined four times consecutively or when a small combination is displayed once before “losing” is determined four consecutive times.

  In the present embodiment, when “37” to “39” are acquired as the small role / replay data pointer during the billy bonus A and when “losing” is determined, that is, the combination of the first specific symbols is determined to be a winning decision. If it can be displayed along the line, the lottery value in the bonus ART transition lottery table (see FIGS. 86 to 89) is set so that “G_ART” is always won in the ART lottery. That is, when the combination of the first specific symbols can be displayed along the winning determination line in the billy bonus A, a privilege advantageous to the player is given.

  In this way, the billy bonus A ends in one game (game) in the smallest case. Therefore, when “35” or “36” is acquired as the small role / replay data pointer in one game (game), a privilege advantageous to the player cannot be obtained. Thereby, the game in the billy bonus A is performed with a sense of tension, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  When the symbol combination corresponding to “PB1” or “PB2” is stopped and displayed, one “Billy (formed by the upper billy and lower billy)” symbol is displayed in the display window 4. This suggests that the billy bonus that is subsequently started is the billy bonus A that ends in one game (game). As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game in which the operation of the billy bonus is determined.

  In the present embodiment, the billy bonus A is an RB (first special bonus) that ends with a single winning. However, the billy bonus A according to the present invention may be a BB (an accessory continuous operation device related to the first type special accessory) that ends when a specified number (15 or more) of medals are paid out.

[Billy Bonus B]
The billy bonus B (BB5) is a specific example of the second special game according to the present invention. In this billy bonus B, “PB3” is determined as an internal winning combination, and a symbol combination (“lower billy”-“upper billy”-“ice”) corresponding to “PB3” is displayed along the winning determination line. Operates in case.

  “PB3” indicates a specific example of the second special internal winning combination according to the present invention. When the symbol combination corresponding to “PB3” is stopped and displayed, two symbols of “Billy (formed by the upper billy and the lower billy)” are displayed in the display window 4.

  The gaming state in which the billy bonus B (BB5) is operating is the BB5 gaming state (see FIG. 10). And while operation of BB5 is performed, operation of RB3 is performed continuously. Therefore, during the billy bonus B, as in the billy bonus A, the internal winning combination is determined with reference to the RB 3 and 4 gaming state internal lottery table (see FIG. 21).

  Since the value of the bonus end number counter set in the BB5 gaming state is “15”, the billy bonus B ends when more than 15 medals are paid out. In the present embodiment, when a small combination wins during the billy bonus B, 15 medals are paid out, so at least two games (games) are played in the billy bonus B.

  When “35” or “36” is acquired as the data pointer for the small role / replay during the billy bonus B, the combination of the first specific symbols (“Don 1”-“Don 1”-“Don 1”) Is not displayed along the winning line. Further, when “37” to “39” are acquired as the small role / replay data pointers, and the stop button is pressed at a predetermined timing, the combination of the first specific symbols (“don 1” − “ Don 1 ”-“ Don 1 ”) is displayed along the winning determination line. Further, when “losing” is determined in the billy bonus B, the combination of the first specific symbol or the combination of the second specific symbol is displayed along the winning determination line.

  In the present embodiment, when “37” to “39” are acquired as the small role / replay data pointer during the billy bonus B and when “losing” is determined, “G_ART” must be won. The lottery value of the bonus ART transfer lottery table (see FIGS. 86 to 89) is set. That is, in the billy bonus B, when the combination of the first specific symbols can be displayed along the winning determination line, a privilege advantageous to the player is given.

  Thus, in the billy bonus B, at least two games (games) are performed. Therefore, when “35” or “36” is acquired as the small role / replay data pointer in two games (games), it is not possible to obtain a privilege advantageous to the player. Thereby, the game in the billy bonus A is performed with a sense of tension, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  When the symbol combination corresponding to “PB3” is stopped and displayed, two “Billy (formed by the upper billy and lower billy)” symbols are displayed in the display window 4. This suggests that the billy bonus that is subsequently started is the billy bonus B that can be played at least twice. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game in which the operation of the billy bonus is determined.

[Billy Bonus C]
The billy bonus C (BB6) shows a specific example of the third special game according to the present invention. In this billy bonus C, “PB4” is determined as an internal winning combination, and a symbol combination corresponding to “PB4” (“upper billy”-“upper billy”-“upper billy”) is displayed along the winning determination line. Activates when

  “PB4” indicates a specific example of the third special internal winning combination according to the present invention. When the symbol combination corresponding to “PB4” is stopped and displayed, three symbols of “Billy (formed by upper billy and lower billy)” are displayed in the display window 4.

  The gaming state in which the billy bonus C (BB6) is operating is the BB6 gaming state (see FIG. 10). And while the operation of BB6 is being performed, the operation of RB3 is continuously performed. Therefore, during the billy bonus C, as in the billy bonus A and the billy bonus B, the internal winning combination is determined with reference to the RB 3, 4 gaming state internal lottery table (see FIG. 21).

  Since the value of the bonus end number counter set in the BB5 gaming state is “30”, the billy bonus C ends when more than 30 medals are paid out. In the present embodiment, when a small combination wins during the billy bonus C, 15 medals are paid out, so at least three games (games) are played in the billy bonus C.

  When “35” or “36” is acquired as the data pointer for the small role / replay during the billy bonus C, the combination of the first specific symbols (“Don 1”-“Don 1”-“Don 1”) Is not displayed along the winning line. Further, when “37” to “39” are acquired as the small role / replay data pointers, and the stop button is pressed at a predetermined timing, the combination of the first specific symbols (“don 1” − “ Don 1 ”-“ Don 1 ”) is displayed along the winning determination line. Further, when “losing” is determined during the billy bonus C, the combination of the first specific symbol or the combination of the second specific symbol is displayed along the winning determination line.

  In the present embodiment, when “37” to “39” are acquired as the small role / replay data pointer during the billy bonus C and when “losing” is determined, “G_ART” must be won. The lottery value of the bonus ART transfer lottery table (see FIGS. 86 to 89) is set. That is, in the billy bonus B, when the combination of the first specific symbols can be displayed along the winning determination line, a privilege advantageous to the player is given.

  Thus, in the billy bonus C, at least three games (games) are performed. Therefore, when “35” or “36” is acquired as the small role / replay data pointer in three games (games), it is not possible to obtain a privilege advantageous to the player. Thereby, the game in the billy bonus A is performed with a sense of tension, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  When the symbol combination corresponding to “PB4” is stopped and displayed, three symbols of “Billy (formed by upper billy and lower billy)” are displayed in the display window 4. This suggests that the billy bonus that is subsequently started is the billy bonus C that can be played at least three times. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the game in which the operation of the billy bonus is determined.

In the present embodiment, when a combination that can display a combination of the first specific symbols (“Don 1”-“Don 1”-“Don 1”) along the winning determination line during the billy bonus is determined ( A bonus (G_ART winning) advantageous to the player is given to “37” to “39” as the small role / replay data pointer. In other words, if “37” to “39” are acquired as the small role / replay data pointer, even if the combination of the first specific symbols is not displayed along the winning determination line, the privilege (G_ART) advantageous to the player To win).
However, the gaming machine of the present invention may be configured to give a privilege (G_ART winning) advantageous to the player when the combination of the first specific symbols is displayed along the winning determination line.

  Further, in this embodiment, when PB1 to PB4 are determined as the internal winning combination, “Billy aiming effect” and “B_ART” are won, and “Bill aiming effect” is performed in the subsequent billy bonus. . When a combination that can display the combination of the first specific symbols (“Don 1”-“Don 1”-“Don 1”) along the winning determination line during the billy bonus is determined, “G_ART It was configured to win.

  However, as a gaming machine of the present invention, for example, when BB1 to BB4 are determined as internal winning combinations, “Don't aim” and “D_ART” are won, and in the subsequent big bonus (BB), You may make it the structure which performs "aim for Billy". When a combination that can display three “Billy” symbols (formed by the upper and lower billies) in the big bonus (BB) along the winning determination line is determined, “G_ART” It may be configured to win.

<Stop control>
Next, stop control according to the pachislot 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 190 is an explanatory diagram showing a stop mode when a combination of symbols corresponding to “bell” is stopped and displayed.

  When any of the winning numbers “51” to “55” is won by the internal lottery process (see FIG. 155), any of “13” to “17” is acquired as the data pointer for small role / replay (FIG. 14). reference). In this case, “13” to “17” are determined as the rotation stop number (see FIG. 27), and “16” to “20” are determined as the pull-in priority table selection table number.

As shown in FIG. 47, when “13” is acquired as the small role / replay data pointer, the answer is correct when the stop order is “left middle right”, and the answer is incorrect when the stop order is any other stop order. . Also, when “13” is acquired as the data pointer for the small role / replay, “Bell”, “Cherry 1”, “Bell control 1” and “Bell control 2” are determined as the internal winning combination. In addition, “16” is determined as the pull-in priority table selection table number.
The “Bell” internal winning combination is a specific example of an exceptional internal winning combination according to the present invention.

First, a case where the stop order is incorrect will be described.
As shown in FIG. 33, when the pull-in priority table selection table number is “16” and the stop order is incorrect (other than “left middle right”), “02” is determined as the pull-in priority table number. The When the pull-in priority table number is “02”, “bell”, “bell control 1”, and “bell control 2” are defined in the priority data (contents) of the pull-in priority table ( (See FIG. 34). Therefore, stop control is performed such that the symbol combinations corresponding to “bell”, “bell control 1”, and “bell control 2” are preferentially displayed.

  The symbol combination corresponding to “bell” is “ANY” − “bell” − “ANY”, and the symbol combination corresponding to “bell control 1” is “bell” − “bell” − “bell”. It is. The symbol combination corresponding to “bell control 2” is “lip”-“cherry”-“ice”.

  It should be noted that the symbol combination “bell”-“bell”-“bell” corresponding to “bell control 1” and the symbol combination “lip”-“cherry”-“ice” corresponding to “bell control 2”. Is a symbol combination for control control. That is, the combination of symbols corresponding to “Bell Control 1” and “Bell Control 2” is not a symbol combination that is allowed to be stopped according to the winning combination, and does not affect the game depending on the presence or absence of display. Absent.

  The symbol combination “ANY”-“bell”-“ANY” includes a symbol combination “bell”-“bell”-“bell”. As a result, of the symbol combinations “ANY”-“Bell”-“ANY”, the symbol combination “Bell”-“Bell”-“Bell” and “Rip Control 2” corresponding to “Rip Control 2” Stop control is performed such that a combination of symbols “-” cherry ”-“ ice ”is preferentially displayed along the winning determination line. As a result, “lip”-“cherry”-“ice” is displayed along the center line 8b, and “bell”-“bell”-“bell” is displayed along the bottom line 8c (see FIG. 190A). .

  In this case, “ANY”-“Bell”-“ANY”, which is a combination of symbols that are permitted to stop according to the winning combination, is displayed along the bottom line 8c. Four medals are paid out in the game played. A combination of symbols corresponding to the “bell transition” is displayed along a winning determination line other than the bottom line 8c.

Next, stop control when the stop order is correct (“left middle right”) will be described.
As shown in FIG. 33, when the pull-in priority table selection table number is “16” and the stop order is correct (“left middle right”), “01” is determined as the pull-in priority table number. When the pull-in priority table number is “01”, “bell” and “bell control 1” are defined in the priority data (contents), and “bell control 2” is not defined ( (See FIG. 34). Therefore, stop control is performed such that a combination of symbols corresponding to “bell” and “bell control 1” is preferentially displayed.

  As a result, a combination of symbols (“bell”-“bell”-“bell”) corresponding to “bell control 1” is displayed along the center line 8b (see FIG. 190B). In this case, “ANY”-“Bell”-“ANY”, which is a combination of symbols permitted to be displayed in accordance with the winning combination, is displayed along the center line 8b, the cross-up line 8d, and the cross-down line 8e. ing. Therefore, twelve medals are paid out in a game played with three inserted sheets.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the control symbol combination for which the stop display is not permitted is set as the control control data, and the priority of the control control data is defined in the pull-in priority table. As a result, the plurality of reels 3L, 3C, 3R are controlled and controlled based on the specified priority order, and the symbol combination ("ANY"-"Bell") corresponding to the determined internal winning combination (for example, "Bell"). -"ANY") and control symbol combinations ("lip"-"cherry"-"ice") can be stopped and displayed.

  That is, even if the number of sliding symbols is not accurately defined in the stop table, the symbol combination corresponding to the intended display combination can be displayed along the winning determination line by performing the control control based on the priority order. Therefore, it is possible to easily design and develop the control system of the gaming machine without accurately defining the number of sliding pieces on the stop table.

Next, stop control related to “losing” in the billy bonus will be described.
When “losing” is determined by the internal lottery process (see FIG. 155) during the billy bonus (the inserted number “1”) and “0” is acquired as the small role / replay data pointer, “35” is determined (see FIG. 27). When reel stop control is performed with reference to a stop table (not shown) selected when the number for stopping the rotation is “35”, it corresponds to “don 1 control” or “don 2 control” The combination of symbols to be displayed is displayed along the winning determination line. That is, when “losing” is determined during the billy bonus, “Don 1”-“Don 1”-“Don 1” or “Don 2”-“Don 1”-“Don 1” are in the winning determination line. Displayed along.

<Modification>
Next, a modified example of the pachi-slot 1 will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the modified example of the pachi-slot 1, stop control related to “losing” in the billy bonus is executed by control control. Therefore, the modified example of the pachi-slot 1 is different from the above-described embodiment of the pachi-slot 1 in the internal lottery table, the internal winning combination determining table, the spinning cylinder stop number selection table, and the reel stop initial setting table.

[Internal lottery table]
FIG. 191 shows an internal lottery table for RB3 / 4 gaming state according to a modification of the pachislot 1. This internal lottery table for RB3 / 4 gaming state is a table that is referred to in the RB3 gaming state and the RB4 gaming state, and defines lottery values and data pointers according to the winning numbers “1” to “6”. For example, when referring to the internal lottery table for the RB3 / 4 gaming state, the probability that the winning number “6” (abbreviation “losing”) is won is 512/65536. When the winning number “6” is won, “40” is acquired as the small role / replay data pointer.

[Internal winning combination determination table]
FIG. 192 and FIG. 193 show a small combination / replay internal winning combination determination table according to a modified example of the pachi-slot 1. The small winning combination / replay internal winning combination determining table defines internal winning combinations related to small winning combination and replay (replay) for “1” to “40” of the small winning combination / replay data pointer. That is, the internal winning combination determination table for the small role / replay includes the data pointer for the small role / replay, the internal winning combination related to the payout of medals, the internal winning combination related to the replay operation, or data provided for control control. Define the correspondence.

[Cylinder stop number selection table]
FIG. 194 shows a rotating cylinder stop number selection table according to a modification of the pachi-slot 1. This spinning stop number selection table defines the correspondence between the small role / replay data pointer and the spinning stop number. In the modification of the pachi-slot 1, when the small role / replay data pointer is “40”, the rotation stop number “41” is selected.

[Reel stop initial setting table]
FIG. 195 shows a reel stop initial setting table according to a modification of the pachi-slot 1. This reel stop initial setting table defines the correspondence between the spinning stop number and various data used in the pull-in priority table selection process and the number of sliding pieces for each reel.

  Specifically, the reel stop initial setting table includes the rotation stop number, the pull-in priority table selection table number, the pull-in priority table number, the forward push table selection data, the forward push table change data, and the forward push push The correspondence relationship between the table change initial data and the table selection data at the time of irregular pressing is defined. For example, when the number for turning stop is “41”, “03” is determined as the pull-in priority table number.

  The winning number “6” (abbreviated as “losing”) is won by the internal lottery process (see FIG. 155) during the billy bonus (the inserted number “1”), and “40” is acquired as the data pointer for the small part / replay. Then, “1” is stored in bits 1 and 2 corresponding to “don 1 control” and “don 2 control” in the internal winning combination storing area 10 (not shown).

  Further, when “40” is acquired as the small role / replay data pointer, “41” is determined as the rotation stop number (see FIG. 194), and “02” is determined as the drawing priority table number. (See FIG. 195). When the pull-in priority table number is “03”, “don 1 control” and “don 2 control” are defined in the priority data (contents) of the pull-in priority table (see FIG. 34). As a result, stop control (control control) is performed so that a combination of symbols corresponding to “don 1 control” and “don 2 control” is preferentially displayed along the winning determination line.

  The symbol combination corresponding to “don 1 control” is the first specific symbol combination according to the present invention, and is “don 1” − “don 1” − “don 1”. In addition, the symbol combination corresponding to “don 2 control” is a combination of the second specific symbols according to the present invention, and is “don 2” − “don 1” − “don 1”. When the number of inserted sheets is 1, “Don 1”-“Don 1”-“Don 1” and “Don 2”-“Don 1”-“Don 1” are targets for control control. It is a symbol combination and is not a symbol combination in which stop display is permitted according to the winning combination.

  When stop control is performed such that a combination of symbols corresponding to “Don 1 control” and “Don 2 control” is preferentially displayed along the winning determination line, the stop button is pressed at a predetermined timing. If it is the timing, “Don 1”-“Don 1”-“Don 1” or “Don 2”-“Don 1”-“Don 1” are displayed along the winning determination line. That is, when “losing” is determined during the billy bonus, if the stop button is pressed at a predetermined timing, “Don 1” — “is not a symbol combination that is permitted to be stopped according to the winning combination. "Don 1"-"Don 1" or "Don 2"-"Don 1"-"Don 1" are displayed along the winning determination line.

In addition, this modification can take the following structures.

  The gaming machine according to one embodiment of the present invention has been described above including the effects thereof. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described herein, and it goes without saying that various embodiments are included without departing from the gist of the present invention described in the claims.

For example, in the present embodiment, when stop control is performed so that a combination of symbols corresponding to “bell” and “bell control 1” is preferentially displayed, “bell” − “bell” − “bell”. The number of sliding pieces of the stop table was defined so that the combination of symbols was displayed along the center line 8b. However, as the stop control according to the present invention, stop control is performed such that a combination of symbols “bell”-“bell”-“bell” is displayed along the center line 8b using a control symbol combination. You may go.
Specifically, when the symbol combination “bell”-“bell”-“bell” is displayed along the center line 8b, the symbol combinations displayed along other winning determination lines (for example, “ Ice "-" lip "-" don 2 "etc.) is set as the bell middle stage control symbol combination. Then, the bell middle stage control symbol combination is defined in the priority data (contents) of the pull-in priority table number “02”, and is not defined in the priority data (contents) of the pull-in priority table number “01”.
