  Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[Embodiment 1]
First, an outline of a slot machine 1 that is an example of a gaming machine according to the present invention will be described. The slot machine 1 according to the first embodiment includes a housing 1a (see FIG. 2) and a front door 1b (see FIG. 1).

  As shown in FIG. 1, the slot machine 1 is configured so that a cylindrical left reel 2L, a middle reel 2C, and a right reel 2R can be visually recognized from a front door 1b through a see-through window 3. Around a see-through window 3 arranged in the center of the panel (display area) 1c, a medal insertion unit 4 for inserting medals, a MAXBET switch 6 for setting a maximum bet number, and a start switch 7 for starting a game, A left stop switch 8L for stopping each reel, a middle stop switch 8C, a right stop switch 8R, and a game display unit 13 for displaying information relating to the game are provided.

  In addition, the slot machine 1 includes a liquid crystal display 51 at the top of the front door 1b, and the speakers 53 and 54, the medal payout opening 9, the title (model name) of the slot machine 1, a payout table, and the like are printed at the bottom. A lower panel (information display panel, information display unit) 1d and a medal tray (lower plate) 1e for storing medals formed and projected forwardly below the medal payout opening 9 are provided. Note that the payout table is a table showing a combination of a combination of a combination, which will be described later, and the number of medals to be paid out according to the combination, and may be printed on the reel panel 1c or the like and displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 in a standby state. May be.

  When a player starts a game in the slot machine 1, generally, a predetermined number of medals (usually three or more) are inserted into the medal insertion unit 4 or a predetermined bet is operated by operating the MAXBET switch 6. Set the number (usually the maximum 3 bets). When the bet amount is set, the start switch 7 becomes effective, and the slot machine 1 is ready to start the game. When the player operates the start switch 7 in a state where the game can be started, each reel (left reel 2L, middle reel 2C, right reel 2R) starts to rotate. In this state, the player operates one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R to stop the rotation of each reel, and the display result is derived and displayed through the fluoroscopic window 3.

  When the rotation of each reel stops, the game ends, and when a combination of symbols corresponding to a predetermined combination is derived (equipped) as a display result, a winning corresponding to the combination occurs. When the number of medals paid out in accordance with the winning is stored, the medal amount exceeding the maximum value is paid out from the medal payout opening 9 when the memorized number of medals exceeds the maximum value (usually 50). When a winning combination with a game state transition occurs, the gaming state transitions according to the combination. If no winning combination occurs, the player operates the MAXBET switch 6 again, or inserts a medal into the medal insertion unit 4 again, and starts the next game.

  If the memorized number of medals remains when the player finishes the game, the memorized medal number is paid out from the medal payout opening 9 when the player operates the settlement switch 10.

  The above is the outline of the slot machine 1.

  Next, a detailed configuration of the slot machine 1 will be described.

  The game display unit 13 includes a credit display 11 for displaying credits, a game auxiliary display 12 for displaying the number of medals paid out due to winning, an error code indicating the contents when an error occurs, and the like. 1BETLED 14 that informs that one bet number is set by lighting, 2BETLED 15 that informs that two bet numbers are set, and 3 bet number are set by lighting A 3BET LED 16 for informing, an insertion request LED 17 for informing a state in which a medal can be inserted is lit, a start valid LED 18 for informing that the game start operation by operating the start switch 7 is effective, and a wait state Waiting LED 19 to notify that it is lit, and a replay game to be described later A replay during the LED20 to inform, is provided by. Note that the wait state is a state in which a certain period of time has not elapsed since the start of the previous game, and the reels are thus waiting to start rotating, and in this embodiment is approximately 4.1 seconds.

  Further, “credit” means the number of medals obtained by subtracting the number of bets from the number of medals stored (inserted) in the slot machine 1. In the present embodiment, when a medal is inserted in a state where the bet number is not set, the automatically inserted medal number is set as the bet number.

  For example, when a player inserts one medal into the medal insertion unit 4 in a state where no medal is inserted, the bet number is set to 1 and the 1BETLED 14 is lit. Next, when the player inserts one medal into the medal insertion unit 4, the bet number is set to 2, and the 2BETLED 15 is lit. Further, when the player inserts one medal into the medal insertion unit 4, the maximum bet number is set to 3, and the 3BET LED 16 and the start valid LED 18 are lit. In this state, the number of medals inserted into the slot machine 1 is three, but since all three are set as the number of bets, “0” is displayed on the credit display 11. When the player further inserts one medal into the medal insertion unit 4 in this state, the maximum bet number is 3, so “1” is displayed on the credit display 11 as credit. In the present embodiment, the upper limit of credits is 50 (sheets).

  The front door 1b of the slot machine 1 can be locked by a locking portion 1f, and is generally locked when starting a game. The front door 1b of the slot machine 1 can be opened by inserting a key into the locking part 1e and rotating it clockwise.

  As illustrated in FIG. 2, the slot machine 1 includes a variable display device 2, a power supply box 100, and a hopper unit 34.

  The variable display device 2 includes the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R described above, and reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R corresponding to the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R. These reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R rotate the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, so that a plurality of types of symbols are continuously displayed through the see-through window 3.

  Further, the variable display device 2 is provided with a reel LED 55 which will be described later, and the reel LED 55 can independently irradiate each symbol of each reel 2L, 2C, 2R, thereby improving the visibility of the reel. can do.

  The power supply box 100 functions as a setting key switch 37 for changing the setting and a reset switch for canceling the error state or the stop state in the normal state. A reset / setting switch 38 functioning as a setting switch for changing the value and a power switch 39 for turning on / off the power are provided.

  In the present embodiment, the slot machine 1 has different expected values for the medal payout rate (so-called machine discount) according to the set value. Here, the medal payout rate is the ratio of the number of medals paid out to the number of medals inserted. For example, when 1000 medals are inserted and 1100 medals are paid out when the game for 1000 medals is completed, the medal payout rate is 110%. Naturally, the player who has more medals than the number of medals inserted (the medal payout rate is 100% or more) is in an advantageous state for the player.

  The set value can be set from 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and the higher the set value, the higher the medal payout rate. That is, the slot machine 1 in which the set value is set to a high value (for example, 4, 5, 6) has a high advantage for the player and the set value is set to a low value (for example, 1, 2, 3). The slot machine 1 being used is less advantageous. The set value may be set in three stages such as 1, 3, 6, 1, 4, H (High), or in seven stages 1 to 7, and need not be limited to six stages.

  In order to change the above set value, it is necessary to turn on the power of the slot machine 1 by operating the power switch 39 after inserting a dedicated key into the setting key switch 37 to turn it on. When the power of the slot machine 1 is turned on as described above, the setting value read from the internal storage device is displayed on the setting value display 24 provided on the front door 1b. Next, when the reset / setting switch 38 is operated, the set value displayed on the set value display 24 is incremented by 1 (the value next to the set value 6 returns to 1). After the reset / setting switch 38 is operated to a desired setting value, when the start switch 7 is operated, the setting value is stored in the internal storage device, and the game shifts to the game ready state.

  In order to confirm the set value, after the game is over, a dedicated key is inserted into the setting key switch 37 in the state where the bet amount is not set, so that the set value is turned on. By inserting a key dedicated to the setting key switch 37 and turning it on, the setting value acquired from the internal storage device is displayed on the setting value display 24. In this state, the game cannot be started, and the game can be started by inserting a dedicated key into the setting key switch 37 and turning it off.

  The hopper unit 34 has a hopper tank 34a for storing medals inserted from the medal insertion section 4, a hopper motor 34b for paying out medals stored in the hopper tank 34a from the medal payout opening 9, and driving of the hopper motor 34b. And a payout sensor 34c for detecting the medals paid out by.

  An overflow tank 35 for storing medals overflowing from the hopper tank 34a is provided adjacent to the hopper tank 34a. Inside the overflow tank 35, there is provided a full sensor 35a made up of a pair of electrically conductive members spaced from each other and provided at a height capable of detecting a predetermined number of stored medals. The full tank sensor 35a is configured such that when the conductive member comes into contact with the medal stored in the overflow tank 35 and conducts electricity, the amount of medal stored in the inside exceeds a predetermined amount, that is, the overflow tank 35 is full. It is possible to detect that a state has been reached.

The push detection sensor 170 of the present embodiment detects the left driven arm 159 when each driven arm 158, 159 passes a predetermined detection position provided in the middle of moving from the position shown in FIG. 4 to the position shown in FIG. , And are arranged so as to change from an off state to an on state.

  The lower panel 1d of the present embodiment is normally moved to the accommodation position, the free end portion of the driving plunger 164 is fitted in one of the driving cutout portions 162a and 162b, and the driven plunger 168 is moved. Is stopped in a state in which the free end portion is fitted in the driven cutout portion 158a. That is, the entire drive arm 160 can be rotated positively by driving the arm drive unit 166 to rotate forward (counterclockwise rotation in FIGS. 3A and 4A). Movements of 158 and 159 are restricted. Therefore, the drive arm 160 and the driven arms 158 and 159 are in a so-called locked state in which the integral movement is restricted.

  When the arm drive unit 166 starts to rotate forward from this locked state, the plunger drive unit 169 is driven in conjunction with the arm drive unit 166 and the driven plunger 168 is moved to the release position, so that the locked state is established. Canceled. Therefore, when the arm drive unit 166 rotates in the forward direction, the entire drive arm 160 rotates in the forward direction with the drive shaft 161 as the rotation center. At this time, the driven arms 158 and 159 move forward integrally with the entire drive arm 160 while changing the position of engagement between a pinion gear (not shown) supported by the drive arm main body 163 and the rack gear 159a of the left driven arm 159. Therefore, the lower panel 1d can move from the storage position to the protruding position.

  When the arm driving unit 166 starts reverse rotation (clockwise rotation in FIGS. 3A and 4A) from the state where the lower panel 1d has moved to the protruding position, the plunger driving unit 169 is driven in conjunction with the arm driving unit 166, and the driven plunger 168 is moved to the pressing position. When the arm drive unit 166 rotates in the reverse direction, the entire drive arm 160 rotates in the reverse direction around the drive shaft 161, the driven arms 158 and 159 move integrally with the entire drive arm 160, and the lower panel 1d protrudes. The free end portion of the driven plunger 168 can be fitted into the driven cutout portion 158a to return to the locked state.

  When the arm driving unit 166 is driven to rotate in the reverse direction from the locked state, the locked state is released by the interlocking of the plunger driving unit 169. However, in this embodiment, since the rearward movement of each driven arm 158, 159 is restricted by the guide hole 153a, the drive arm 160 cannot rotate backward. From this state, when the arm driving unit 166 continues the reverse rotation driving, the engagement between the free end portion of the driving plunger 164 and the driving notches 162a and 162b is released (see FIG. 3A), and the driving arm Only the main body 163 can rotate about the drive shaft 161 as a rotation center. For this reason, the drive arm main body 163 and the driven arms 158 and 159 that can move integrally move forward by the elastic force of the torsion spring 157, and the lower panel 1d moves from the storage position to the protruding position (see FIG. 4 (A)).

  Further, when the engagement between the free end of the drive plunger 164 and the drive cutouts 162a and 162b is released and the lower panel 1d is moved to the protruding position, the arm drive unit 166 starts reverse rotation drive. The plunger driving unit 169 is driven in conjunction with the arm driving unit 166, and the driven plunger 168 is moved to the pressing position. When the arm drive unit 166 rotates in the reverse direction, the free end portion of the drive plunger 164 fits in either of the drive notches 162a and 162b, and the entire drive arm 160 can be rotated in the reverse direction around the drive shaft 161, The entire drive arm 160 moves integrally with each driven arm 158, 159, the lower panel 1d moves from the projecting position to the storage position, and the free end of the driven plunger 168 is fitted into the driven notch 158a and locked. It is possible to return.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, as the movement from the housed position of the lower panel 1d to the protruding position, the arm driving unit 166 moves slowly (delays) by the forward rotation driving, the arm driving unit 166 performs the reverse rotation driving and the torsion spring 157. It is possible to automatically execute high-speed movement (early out) by.
Further, in this embodiment, regardless of the moving speed of the movement from the housing position of the lower panel 1d to the protruding position, the movement of returning the lower panel 1d from the protruding position to the housing position is automatically performed by the reverse rotation driving of the arm driving unit 166. It is possible to execute.

In the present embodiment, when the player performs an operation to push the lower panel 1d backward to return it to the accommodation position from the state where the lower panel 1d has moved to the protruding position, the push detection sensor 170. After detecting the left driven arm 159, the arm driving unit 166 and the plunger driving unit 169 can be driven to move the lower panel 1d from the protruding position to the accommodation position and return to the locked state.
Further, in the present embodiment, when the lower panel 1d moves to the protruding position, the belt 167, the drive arm 160, each driven arm so that the front lower end of the lower panel 1d does not protrude forward from the front end of the medal tray 1e. 158, 159, guide holes 153a, and the like are designed.

  A plurality of types of symbols are arranged on each reel (left reel 2L, middle reel 2C, right reel 2R), and the player can place three symbols vertically on each reel through the see-through window 3, That is, a 3 × 3 symbol can be visually recognized. Note that the number of symbols that can be visually recognized is not limited to this, and it is sufficient that at least one symbol can be visually recognized on each reel.

  As shown in FIG. 6, “black 7”, “net 7”, “white 7”, “white BAR”, “black BAR”, “replay”, “replay”, A plurality of types of symbols such as “bell”, “orange”, “watermelon”, and “cherry” that can be distinguished from each other are drawn in a predetermined order.

  In addition, although the above-mentioned plural kinds of symbols are shown on a plane in FIG. 6, since each reel is actually a cylindrical shape as described above, the 0th symbol is arranged next to the 20th symbol. Will be. Moreover, the arrangement | sequence and kind of the above-mentioned several symbols are examples, and can be set arbitrarily.

  In the following description, when the portion from the Nth symbol to the N + Mth symbol is described, it is expressed as “M frame”. That is, for example, when it is expressed as 5 frames or less from “Black 7” of No. 10 of the left reel 2L, it means symbols from “Black 7” of No. 10 of the left reel 2L to “Replay” of No. 15.

  Each of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R is rotated counterclockwise (in FIG. 1 from the upper part to the lower part in the drawing) by reel motors 32L, 32C, 32R arranged in correspondence with each other. Thus, a plurality of types of symbols are displayed continuously. In the present embodiment, the reels 2L, 2C, 2R stop rotating with a delay of a maximum of 190 ms after the corresponding stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated. The delay time until the reel stops is not limited to this, and the rotation may be stopped with a delay of 190 ms or more in order to improve the game performance.

  Each reel 2L, 2C, 2R rotates 80 times per minute, and the symbols for 80 × 21 (the number of symbols per reel) = 1680 frames are changed. Therefore, each reel 2L, 2C, 2R can draw a maximum of 4 symbols in 190 ms. That is, the symbols that stop when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated are the symbols that are four frames ahead of the symbols that were displayed when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R were operated (a total of five frames). ).

  For example, when the stop switch 8L is operated when “Black 7” of No. 10 on the left reel 2L is displayed on the fluoroscopic window 3, the No. 10 “Black 7” of the left reel 2L is inserted in the left reel 2L. Any symbol from “Replay” to No. 15 will be stopped.

  Therefore, for example, when one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is operated, if the symbol displayed on the lower stage of the reel corresponding to the stop switch is used as a reference, the reel to be stopped is the reference symbol. The symbols up to 4 frames ahead can be displayed in the lower row. Therefore, when one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is operated, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are within 5 frames including the symbols displayed on the lower stage of the reel corresponding to the stop switch. The arranged symbols can be displayed on the winning line.

  Here, the winning line means a line in which a winning is generated when a combination of symbols is arranged among 3 × 3 frames displayed through the fluoroscopic window 3. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the winning line is displayed on the reels 2 </ b> L, 2 </ b> C, and 2 </ b> R displayed through the perspective window 3, as shown in the upper left reel 2 </ b> Lt, the left reel middle 2 </ b> Lm, and the left reel lower 2Lb, middle reel upper stage 2Ct, middle reel middle stage 2Cm, middle reel lower stage 2Cb, right reel upper stage 2Rt, right reel middle stage 2Rm, right reel lower stage 2Rb, left reel upper stage 2Lt, middle reel middle stage 2Cm, right reel lower stage 2Rb, The winning line L1, which is an oblique line passing through the line, the winning line L2, which is a parallel line connecting the upper stages (2Lt, 2Ct, 2Rt) of each reel, and the parallel connecting the middle stages (2Lm, 2Cm, 2Rm) of each reel. A winning line L3 that is a line, and a winning line L4 that is an oblique line connecting the reels diagonally to the upper right (2Lb, 2Cm, 2Rt). As described above, the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated to stop all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, and a winning combination is obtained when a combination of symbols corresponding to the combination is arranged on any of the effective winning lines L1 to L4. Occur.

  In the present embodiment, the case where four winning lines are valid will be described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a line that irregularly connects the upper left reel 2Lt, the middle reel middle 2Cm, and the right reel upper 2Rt is validated. Alternatively, a one-line configuration with only the winning line L3 may be used.

  The combination of symbols arranged on the winning line according to the combination can be arbitrarily set, and may be a combination of the same symbols or a combination of different symbols. The winning combination is roughly divided into a role that involves paying out medals (hereinafter referred to as a small role), and a role that can start the next game without the need to set the number of bets (hereinafter referred to as a replaying role). And a role (hereinafter referred to as a special role) accompanied by a transition to a gaming state advantageous to the player (an advantageous gaming state). In the following description, a small combination and a replay combination are also collectively referred to as a general combination.

  In this embodiment, regardless of whether or not medals have been paid out, it is assumed that a predetermined value is given to the player according to the display result derived on the winning line. In other words, it is also a prize that the result of a missed display in a game whose game state has changed (display result when the small role is not available in the game where the small role is won) is a prize, and the special role that does not involve the payout of medals. The winning of a combination of symbols according to the re-playing role is also assumed.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the special roles accompanying the transition to BB (Big Bonus) and RB (Regular Bonus) which are advantageous gaming states are “White 7”, “White 7”, “White 7”. BB (Big Bonus), “Black 7”, “Black 7”, “Net 7” or “Net 7”, “Net 7”, “Black 7” are the winning lines. It is composed of two types of RB (regular bonus) in which a prize is generated when they are aligned.

  The special combination is not limited to the combination and type described above, and can be set arbitrarily. For example, “BB 7”, “White 7”, and “Net 7” may be only the BB where a winning occurs by aligning with the winning line, or may be a plurality of types of BBs and a plurality of types of RBs.

  Further, CB (challenge bonus) may be added to the type of bonus. In this case, when a winning occurs when the CB symbols are aligned on the winning line, the state shifts to a CT (challenge time) state. In the CT state, even if a small role is not won in the normal internal lottery process for determining whether or not a winning of any combination is permitted, it is possible to win a small combination due to reel control restrictions. Permissible. Specifically, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are controlled to stop within a predetermined time (75 ms (usually 190 ms)) after the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated. The CB state is realized by repeatedly shifting to such a CT state until an end condition is satisfied (until the number of medals to be paid out is 254 or more).

  The special role shown in FIG. 8 is won in the internal lottery process, and a winning occurs when the symbols are arranged on one of the winning lines. When the special role is won, the gaming state is a bonus state (big bonus, regular bonus) Migrate to

  The bonus state is terminated under a predetermined condition. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the BB ends when the payout of medals reaches 361 or more, and the RB has been awarded 12 games in a bonus state when four winnings of any of the small roles are generated. It shall end at the time. The end condition is not limited to the above-mentioned condition, but may be arbitrarily changed according to the design of the medal payout rate or the like, but it is preferable that BB pays out at most 466 sheets.

  In practice, the bonus state is divided into a big bonus state and a regular bonus state. The regular bonus state started due to the RB winning is ended when the winning of any small role occurs four times as described above or when 12 games are consumed, but due to the winning of the BB. In the big bonus state to be started, the transition to the regular bonus state is repeated until the condition of the number of medals to be paid out is satisfied. That is, the big bonus state is “a state in which, after the end of one set of regular bonus states, if the conditions for ending the big bonus state are not satisfied, control is performed to shift to the regular bonus state again without using a symbol”. It can be said that there is.

  In addition, when shifting to the regular bonus state in the big bonus state, the transition may be made to the regular bonus state via a symbol. In this case, after the winning of the JACIN symbol (the symbol accompanying the transition to the regular bonus state), the transition to the regular bonus state is made.

  In the present embodiment, SB (single bonus) is included as a special combination. SB wins when “Orange / Black 7 / Orange” is aligned on the winning line. When an SB win occurs, the gaming state shifts to the SB state, and when one game is completed, the game state ends, that is, the gaming state before the transition to the SB state.

  Next, the general combination will be described. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the general combination includes a normal replay, a promotion replay, a rush replay, a fall replay, and a plurality of types of control replays as a replaying combination, and a plurality of types as a small combination with a medal payout. No bells, watermelons, cherries, and one piece.

  In the present embodiment, there are several types of replay as a re-gamer, which are used as a trigger for transitioning to a gaming state. There are five types of replay: normal replay, promotion replay, rush replay, fall replay, and control replay.

  In normal replay, a winning occurs when a combination of “replay / replay / replay” is arranged on any winning line. In the promotion replay, a winning occurs when a combination of “replay / replay / bell” is arranged on any winning line. The rush replay occurs when any combination of “Replay / Replay / Cherry” or “Replay / Replay / White 7” is arranged on any winning line. Troll Replay is awarded when a combination of “Bell Cherry Bell” is available on any winning line.

  When a normal replay, promoted replay, rush replay, or falling replay wins, the number of bets equal to the number of bets in the game where the replay wins is automatically set, and the next game is started without setting a new bet. be able to. In addition, when the promoted replay wins in the normal gaming state, the gaming state shifts to an advantageous gaming state in which the winning probability of the re-gamer increases, and when the rush replay wins, the game state is re-played during the predetermined game. Transition to an advantageous gaming state in which the winning probability increases. On the other hand, after the promotion replay wins, if the fall replay wins in the advantageous gaming state, the gaming state shifts (falls) to the normal gaming state.

  In the control replay 1, a winning occurs when a combination of “black BAR / black BAR / white 7” is arranged on any winning line. In the control replay 2, a winning occurs when a combination of “black BAR / white 7 / replay” is arranged on any winning line. In the control replay 3, a winning occurs when a combination of “black BAR / replay / black BAR” is arranged on any winning line. In the control replay 4, a winning occurs when a combination of “black BAR / black BAR / bell” is arranged on any winning line. In the control replay 5, a winning occurs when a combination of “White 7 / Replay / Replay” is arranged on any winning line.

  Here, the control replay 1, the control replay 2, the control replay 3, the control replay 4, and the control replay 5 are elected only as a combined role that is won at the same time as the replaying role including at least one of the promotion replay, the rush replay, and the fall replay. Then, winning is controlled in order to control the push order of the push order replays in which the types of replays to be awarded differ according to the stop operation order of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. In the following description, control replay 1, control replay 2, control replay 3, control replay 4, and control replay 5 are collectively referred to as control replay.

  For example, when “normal replay + promotion replay + control replay 1 + control replay 5” is won in the internal lottery process, the push order replay is operated by operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R in the order of middle, right, and left. "Replay, Replay, and Replay" are arranged on the winning line, and "Replay, Replay, and Replay" are arranged on any of the winning lines when operated in the other order.

  Bell 1 is awarded when any combination of “any bell any” or “bell • black BAR • bell” is aligned on any winning line. In the case of Bell 2, a winning occurs when a combination of “white BAR, white 7, black BAR” is arranged on any winning line. Bell 3 is awarded when a combination of “white BAR / black BAR / bell” is arranged on any winning line. The winning of the bell 4 occurs when a combination of “white BAR / black BAR / black BAR” is arranged on any winning line. When Bell 1, Bell 2, Bell 3, and Bell 4 win, four medals are paid out.

  Here, the bell 2, the bell 3, and the bell 4 are elected only as a combined role to be elected simultaneously with the small role including the bell 1, and the winning lines to be awarded differ depending on the stop operation order of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. Wins to control the push order of the order bells.

  For example, “bell 1 + bell 4” is won in the internal lottery process, and if the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated in the order of left, center, and right, the bell symbol stops at the middle reel 2Cm. , Because the combination of “any bell any” is aligned on the three winning lines L1, L3, and L4, a total of 12 (4 × 3) medals are paid out, in the other order When the operation is performed, the bell symbol stops at the upper stage 2Ct of the middle reel, and the combination of “any / bell / any” is aligned on one winning line L2, and a winning is generated, so that four medals are paid out. .

  Here, a combination combination in which a winning combination or a derivation result differs according to the stop operation order of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R such as a pressing order bell and a pressing order replay is referred to as a pressing order. In addition, when the player defeats the push order, the winning of the most advantageous combination by the stop operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R by the player is referred to as a correct push order. For example, if the pushing order is correctly answered when the pushing order bell is selected, the bell stops at the middle reel 2Cm and 12 medals are paid out.

  A watermelon is awarded when “watermelon, watermelon, watermelon” is aligned on any of the winning lines. When the watermelon wins, 4 medals are paid out. For Cherry, any combination of “Cherry White 7 Replay”, “Cherry Black 7 Replay”, “Cherry Net 7 Replay”, “Cherry Watermelon Replay” is available on any winning line. When winning, a prize will occur. When Cherry wins, 4 medals are paid out. A winning combination occurs when “orange / black BAR / black 7” is aligned on any winning line. When one winning combination wins, one medal is paid out.

  As shown in FIG. 6, replay and bell symbols are arranged within 5 frames on all reels. That is, when either of the normal replay and promotion replay is won, the player replays and promotes regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R (the promotion replay is correct when the pushing order is correct). Replays can win any bell. The cherry symbols are arranged within 5 frames on the middle reel 2C, and the cherry symbols or white 7 are arranged within 5 frames on the right reel 2R. That is, when the rush replay or the fall replay is won, the player can win the rush replay and the fall replay regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R if the player pushes the push order correctly.

  On the other hand, for watermelon and one-piece combination, each symbol is not arranged within 5 frames on all reels. Accordingly, when a watermelon, a single combination is won, the player cannot win these small combinations unless the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are properly operated. As for the cherry, as shown in FIG. 6, the cherry symbol on the left reel 2L is arranged only at one place. Therefore, if the player does not operate the stop switch 8L at an appropriate timing, the cherry appears on the left reel 2L. The symbol cannot be stopped. On the other hand, the white 7, black 7, net 7, watermelon symbol on the middle reel 2C and the replay symbol on the right reel 2R are arranged within five frames each. Therefore, if the player stops the cherry symbol on the left reel 2L, the player can win a cherry regardless of the operation timing of the stop switch 8C.

  The general combination is not limited to the combination of symbols and the number of payouts as described above, and can be arbitrarily set. For example, the watermelon may be divided into two types, which may be a parallel watermelon or a diagonal watermelon, or the cherry may be divided into two types and may be a cherry A or a cherry B.

  In addition, when the winning line is configured as a single line consisting only of the middle L3, it may be configured as a general combination in which the above-described symbol combinations are aligned on the invalid line. In such a configuration, for example, when the 8th bell of the left reel 2L, the 7th bell of the middle reel 2C, and the 8th bell of the right reel 2R are aligned on the invalid line L2, the winning line L3 actually Since the symbols that are aligned are the 7th replay of the left reel 2L, the 6th cherry of the middle reel 2C, and the 7th watermelon of the right reel 2R, the “Replay Cherry Watermelon” symbol is aligned on the winning line L3. In such a case, by giving a certain payout (for example, 9 cards), even if the bells are aligned on the invalid line, a winning will occur.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, the slot machine 1 generates a game control board 40 that controls the game state, an effect control board 90 that controls an effect according to the game state, and a drive power source for the electrical components. And a power supply substrate 101.

  The power supply board 101 is supplied with AC100V power from the outside, and generates DC voltages necessary for driving various electrical components constituting the slot machine 1 from the AC100V power supply. The generated DC voltage is supplied to the game control board 40 and is also supplied to the effect control board 90 via the game control board 40.

  A command transmission line for transmitting a command from the main control unit 41 to the sub-control unit 91 and a power supply line for supplying power from the game control board 40 to the effect control board 90 include a single system of cables and connectors. Connected through. Each part on the side of the effect control board 90 becomes operable when all the connectors that connect the command transmission line and the power supply line and each board are connected, and the command transmission line is connected to the effect control board 90. If it is not in a state, power is not supplied and operation is not possible. That is, the effect control board 90 can operate only when both command transmission and the power supply line are connected.

  Moreover, since the game control board 40 performs the process which concerns on a game, it is preferable to set it as the structure which cannot be accessed from the outside on security. Therefore, the game control board 40 and the effect control board 90 are unidirectional communication, and communication from the game control board 40 to the effect control board 90 is allowed, but communication from the effect control board 90 to the game control board 40 is allowed. Is not allowed.

  The power board 101 is connected to the hopper motor 34b, the payout sensor 34c, the setting key switch 37, the full sensor 35a, the reset / setting switch 38, and the power switch 39.

  The game control board 40 includes a MAXBET switch 6, a start switch 7, stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R, a settlement switch 10, a reset switch 23, a door opening detection switch 25, a stop switch 36a, The automatic settlement switch 36b is connected to each of the reel sensors 33L, 33C, and 33R, and detection signals of these connected switches are input. The game control board 40 is connected to a payout sensor 34c, a full tank sensor 35a, a setting key switch 37, and a reset / setting switch 38 via the power supply board 101, and these are connected. A detection signal such as a switch is also input.

  Further, the game control board 40 includes a credit indicator 11, a game auxiliary indicator 12, 1-3 BET LEDs 14-16, an insertion request LED 17, a start valid LED 18, a waiting LED 19, a replaying LED 20, and a BET. The switch effective LED 21, the left, middle, and right stop effective LEDs 22L, 22C, and 22R, the set value display 24, the flow path switching solenoid 30, and the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R are connected, and these are connected. The electrical components are driven based on the control of the main control unit 41 described later. Further, a hopper motor 34b is connected to the game control board 40 via a power supply board 101, and this electric component is also driven based on the control of the main control unit 41 described later.

  The reset switch 23 cancels the error state or the stop state by a predetermined key operation, and the set value display 24 displays the set value at that time while changing the set value or confirming the set value. The switch 36a selects enabling / disabling of a stop function for controlling the stop state (a state in which the progress of the game is restricted until a reset operation is performed), and the automatic checkout switch 36b is an automatic checkout process ( The valid / invalid of the automatic settlement function is selected to control the medal stored as credit regardless of the player's operation), and the flow path switching solenoid 30 allows the flow of medals inserted from the medal insertion unit 4 The road is selectively switched to either a hopper tank 34a side or a medal payout exit 9 side, which will be described later, provided inside the housing 1a. To detect the open state of the 1b. Each of the above-described parts is provided inside the front door 1b.

  The game control board 40 includes a main control unit 41, a random number generation circuit 42, a sampling circuit 43, a switch detection circuit 44, a motor drive circuit 45, a solenoid drive circuit 46, an LED drive circuit 47, and a power interruption detection. A circuit 48 and a reset circuit 49 are provided.

  The main control unit 41 includes, for example, a CPU 41a, a RAM 41b, a ROM 41c, and an I / O 41d. The ROM 41c stores a control program. The RAM 41b reads this control program, and the CPU 41a executes various processes relating to the progress of the game according to the control program, and controls each circuit mounted on the game control board 40.

  The RAM 41b stores data such as a winning flag indicating the winning combination and a gaming state flag indicating the current gaming state as the game progresses. Whether or not a winning combination occurs is determined by a lottery of the main control unit 41 at the start of the game. This lottery is executed based on the game state flag, and the result of the lottery is stored as a winning flag. . The winning combinations are composed of the winning combinations shown in FIG. 8, and the lottery target winning combinations will be described below.

  When winning in the lottery of the main control unit 41, the general combination may be won as a part of a composite combination including a plurality of general combinations. Such a composite combination is composed of a plurality of general combinations, but is set as one winning flag when winning in the lottery of the main control unit 41. In the present embodiment, the combination subject to the lottery includes a complex combination, and as shown in FIG. 10, for example, “BB + watermelon”, a combination in which a special combination and at least one general combination are won at the same time (hereinafter, “simultaneous” A winning combination), for example, a combination of multiple general roles such as “Cherry + 1”, and a special or general winning combination such as “RB” or “Cherry”. Hereinafter referred to as a single role). The small roles set as the lottery target roles are “bell 1 + watermelon + cherry (middle bell)”, “bell 1 + bell 4 (push order bell 1)”, “bell 1 + bell 3 (push order bell 2)”, “Bell 1 + Bell 2 (push order bell 3)”, “Bell 1 (push order bell 4)”, “Bell 1 + Bell 3 + Bell 4 (push order bell 5)”, “Watermelon”, “Watermelon +1 sheet”, “Cherry”, “Cherry + 1”, “1”.

  “Middle tier bell” is a combined role in which Bell 1, watermelon and cherry are elected at the same time. When “Middle tier bell” is elected, it is permitted to derive a display result that “bell belle bell” is aligned on the middle prize line L3. Is done.

  “Push order bell 1” is a combined role in which bell 1 and bell 4 are elected simultaneously. When “push order bell 1” is won and the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated in the order of left, middle, and right. The bell symbol stops at the middle reel middle 2Cm, and it is allowed to derive the display result that “bell bell bell” is aligned on either of the diagonal winning lines L1 and L4. Derivation of a display result in which “bell bell bell” is aligned in the line L2 is allowed. In other words, the correct push order of “push order bell 1” is left, middle, and right.

  “Push order bell 2” is a combined role in which bell 1 and bell 3 are elected simultaneously. When “push order bell 2” is won and the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated in the order of left, right, and middle. The bell symbol stops at the middle reel middle 2Cm, and it is allowed to derive the display result that “bell bell bell” is aligned on either of the diagonal winning lines L1 and L4. Derivation of a display result in which “bell bell bell” is aligned in the line L2 is allowed. That is, the correct push order of “push order bell 2” is left, right, and middle.

  “Push order bell 3” is a combined role in which bell 1 and bell 2 are elected simultaneously, “push order bell 3” is elected, and stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are set to the middle, left, right or middle, right, When operated in the left order, the bell symbol stops in the middle reel middle stage 2Cm, and it is allowed to derive the display result that “bell bell bell” is aligned on either of the diagonal winning lines L1 and L4. When operated, derivation of a display result in which “bell bell bell” is aligned in the upper winning line L2 is allowed. That is, the correct push order of “push order bell 3” is middle, left, right or middle, right, left.

  “Push order bell 4” is a single role that is won by bell 1.

"Replay 3", "Push order promotion replay 4", "Push order maintenance replay 1", "Push order maintenance replay 2", "Push order maintenance replay 3", "Push order entry replay 1", "Push order entry replay 2" ". The above-mentioned lottery target combination is a name, and the combination of the combination will be described in detail below.

  As shown in FIG. 11 (B), “push order promotion replay 1” is a composite combination in which a normal replay, a promotion replay, a fall replay, and a control replay 5 are won at the same time, and “push order promotion replay 1” is won. When the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated in the order of middle, left, and right, it is allowed to derive a display result in which “replay / replay / bell (promotion replay)” is arranged in any winning line.

  Here, when the display result that the “replay / replay / bell (promotional replay)” is aligned is derived, the display result that the “replay / replay / replay (normal replay)” is aligned while shifting to the advantageous gaming state. Even if it is derived, the gaming state does not change. That is, the push order in which the derivation of the display result including “replay / replay / bell (promotion replay)” is allowed is the correct push order of the push order promotion replays 1 to 4.

  “Push order maintenance replay 1” is a combined role in which promotion replay, rush replay, fall replay, control replay 3, control replay 4 and control replay 5 are won at the same time, and “push order maintenance replay 1” is won. When the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated in the order of middle, left, right or middle, right, left, it is allowed to derive the display result that “replay / replay / bell (promotion replay)” is aligned on any winning line.

  “Push order maintenance replay 3” is a combined role in which promotion replay, fall replay, control replay 2, control replay 3, control replay 4 and control replay 5 are won simultaneously, and “push order maintenance replay 3” is won. When the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated in the order of right, middle, and left, it is permitted to derive the display result of “replay / replay / bell (promotion replay)” on any winning line, and the other order When the button is operated, it is allowed to derive a display result in which “Bell Cherry Bell (Tumble Replay)” is arranged on any winning line.

  Here, if the display result that “Replay / Replay / Bell (Promotion Replay)” is aligned is derived, the display result that “Belle Cherry Bell (Tumble Replay)” is aligned while shifting to the advantageous gaming state. When derived, the gaming state shifts to the normal gaming state. That is, the push order in which the derivation of the display result including “replay / replay / bell (promotion replay)” is allowed is the correct push order of the push order maintaining replays 1 to 3.

  “Push order rush replay 1” is a combined role in which rush replay, tumbling replay and control replay 3 are won at the same time, and “push order rush replay 1” is won, and stop switches 8L, 8C and 8R are set in the middle, left, Operation in the order of right, middle, right, and left allows derivation of display results that include “Replay / Replay / Cherry (Rush Replay)” or “Replay / Replay / White 7 (Rush Replay)” on any winning line If the operation is performed in any other order, it is allowed to derive a display result in which “Bell Cherry Bell (Tumble Replay)” is arranged in any winning line.

If it is operated in any other order, it is allowed to derive a display result in which “Bell Cherry Bell (Tumble Replay)” is aligned on any winning line.

  Here, when a display result including “replay / replay / cherry (rush replay)” or “replay / replay / white 7 (rush replay)” is derived, the display shifts to an advantageous game state while “bell / play”. When the display result of “Cherry Bell (falling replay)” is derived, the gaming state shifts to the normal gaming state. That is, the push order in which the derivation of the display result including “replay / replay / cherry (rush replay)” or “replay / replay / white 7 (rush replay)” is permitted is the correct answer of each push forward rush replay 1 and 2. It becomes the order of pushing.

  In addition, the lottery target combination is not limited to the above, and can be arbitrarily set. For example, the lottery target combination may be a special combination or a general combination itself.

  The gaming state flag stored in the RAM 41b is set to a value corresponding to a plurality of types of gaming states shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, the slot machine 1 is controlled to a plurality of types of gaming states including a normal gaming state, an RT (replay time) 1 to 4 state, an SB state, an internal medium state, and a bonus state. The normal gaming state is a normal gaming state in which a special combination is not won and a medal payout rate is relatively low. The RT1-3 state is a gaming state in which the winning probability of the re-gamer is different from that in the normal gaming state. The SB state is a gaming state in one game after winning the SB, and is a gaming state in which the winning combination of the small role is higher than the normal gaming state or the RT1 to 3 states. The internal state is the gaming state in the game from winning the special role until the special role is won. Here, since the special role has already been won, the role that the special role can win is excluded from the lottery. Is done. The bonus state is a special gaming state that shifts with the occurrence of a special combination winning, and is a gaming state in which the medal payout rate becomes very high due to a significant increase in the probability of a small combination with a medal payout.

When the bonus state ends, the RT1 state transitions. When the SB is won in the RT1 state and the SB is not won (hereinafter referred to as SB loss), the gaming state transitions to the normal gaming state.
When the promoted replay wins in the normal gaming state, the game state shifts to the RT2 state, and when the fall replay wins in the RT2 state or the SB is missed, the gaming state shifts to the normal gaming state.
When the rush replay is won in the RT2 state, the RT3 state shifts to the RT3 state, and when the RT3 state is digested by 50 games, the gaming state shifts to the normal gaming state. Note that if one game is consumed in the SB state in which the SB has won and moved in the RT3 state, one game out of the 50 games in the RT3 state has been consumed.

  When the special combination is won in the normal gaming state, the RT1 to 3 state, and the SB state described later, the gaming state shifts to the internal middle state. If a special combination win occurs in the internal state, the gaming state shifts to the bonus state.

  The SB state shifts when SB wins in either the normal gaming state or the RT1 to RT3 state, and when the SB state is consumed by one game, the gaming state shifts to the original gaming state. If the SB wins in the SB state, the SB state is continued for one game, and when the continued game is digested, the gaming state is changed to the original gaming state (the first SB winning normal gaming state or RT1 to 3 state). To do. Further, if the condition for shifting to the next gaming state is satisfied if the original gaming state is in the SB state, the gaming state is directly shifted from the SB state to the next gaming state.

  Specifically, in the SB state that is shifted when the original gaming state is one of the RT1 and RT2 states, when the SB is missed, the gaming state shifts to the normal gaming state. In addition, in the SB state that is shifted when the original gaming state is the normal gaming state, when the promoted replay wins, the gaming state shifts to the RT2 state. In addition, in the SB state that is shifted when the original gaming state is the RT2 state, the gaming state shifts to the RT3 state when the entry replay wins, and the gaming state shifts to the normal gaming state when the falling replay wins. Further, in the SB state that was shifted when the original gaming state was the RT3 state, when the 50th game is digested, the gaming state shifts to the normal gaming state. In the SB state where the original gaming state is the normal gaming state or the RT1 to 3 state, when the special role is won, the gaming state is shifted to the internal state, and when the special role is won, the game is played. The state moves to the bonus state.

  As shown in FIG. 11A, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment can be controlled to the RT2 state or the RT3 state in which the winning probability of the re-gamer is significantly increased. The trigger for the transition to the RT2 state is a prize for promotion replay, and the trigger for the transition to the RT3 state is a prize for rush replay. In order to win the promotion replay in the normal gaming state, it is necessary to win one of the push order promotion replays 1 to 4 and correct the pushing order. In order to win the rush replay, the player pushes in the RT2 state. It is necessary to win either one of the replays 1 and 2 and correct the pressing order.

  Returning to FIG. 9, the random number generation circuit 42 is configured by a counter that counts up and updates a value each time a pulse is generated. The sampling circuit 43 acquires the numerical value counted by the random number generation circuit 42 and outputs the acquired numerical value to the main control unit 41. The random number generation circuit 42 is set for each type of random number used for the progress of the game, and a range of numerical values to be counted for each type of random number is determined. The sampling circuit 43 acquires the numerical value indicated by the random number generation circuit 42 as a random number in accordance with an instruction from the CPU 41a.

  The configuration for acquiring the random number is not limited to the configuration described above, and is arbitrary. For example, the CPU 41a may process or update various numerical values by software processing using different random counters based on the numerical values acquired from the sampling circuit 43. In the present embodiment, the range of the above random number value is a 16-bit range, that is, a value in the range of 0 to 65535.

  The switch detection circuit 44 receives detection signals input from various switches connected to the game control board 40 and outputs the received detection signals to the main control unit 41. The motor drive circuit 45 controls various motors such as the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R based on the motor drive signal output from the main control unit 41. The solenoid drive circuit 46 controls the flow path switching solenoid 30 based on the solenoid drive signal output from the main control unit 41. The LED drive circuit 47 controls various LEDs and displays connected to the game control board 40 based on the LED drive signal output from the main control unit 41.

  The power interruption detection circuit 48 monitors the power supply voltage supplied to the slot machine 1 and outputs a voltage drop signal indicating the detection of the voltage drop to the main control unit 41 when the voltage drop is detected. The reset circuit 49 outputs a system reset signal to the main control unit 41 when the power is unstable, such as when the power is turned on or when the power is turned off. The reset circuit 49 includes a watchdog timer therein. When the watchdog timer expires, that is, when the operation of the main control unit 41 stops for a certain period of time, a reset signal is sent to the main control unit 41. Output.

  Note that backup power is supplied to the main control unit 41, and the RAM 41b can back up stored data. That is, for example, when power supply to the slot machine 1 is stopped, such as during a power failure, the RAM 41b can store the stored data for a predetermined period. Further, the RAM 41b is subjected to a diagnostic process at the time of activation to determine whether it is normal, and various areas are initialized according to the progress of the game. Note that the area required for continuing the program is not initialized. For this reason, for example, even when a power failure occurs unexpectedly while the game is in progress, the remaining number of credits or the gaming state can be restored to the state before the power failure.

  Further, it is possible to cause the CPU 41a to execute a ROM read prevention function and a bus output mask function by a control program. The ROM read prevention function is a function capable of prohibiting or permitting the reading operation of the storage data of the ROM 41c. When the reading operation of the storage data of the ROM 41c is prohibited, the CPU 41a cannot read the storage data of the ROM 41c. Further, the bus output mask function prohibits reading of data stored in the ROM 41c from an external device or the like by masking the output of the I / O 41d when an external device or the like requests reading of the data stored in the ROM 41c. It is a function. By executing these functions, security can be improved.

  The main control unit 41 receives detection signals from various switches connected to the game control board 40, and executes basic processing according to the received detection signals. The main control unit 41 can also execute an interrupt process by interrupting the basic process when an interrupt occurs. In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 includes a timer therein, and timer interruption processing (main) is caused by the expiration of the timer, that is, a certain time (about 0.56 ms in the present embodiment) has elapsed. Execute.

  The main control unit 41 is set so as to prohibit other interrupts during the execution of the above-described interrupt processing, and when a plurality of interrupts are generated, the interrupt processing is executed according to a preset order. To do. If another interrupt factor occurs during the execution of the interrupt process and the interrupt factor continues even after the ongoing interrupt process ends, the interrupt process being executed is A new interrupt will occur at the end.

  The execution interval T of the timer interrupt process is set to be longer than the sum of the time required for the basic process to make a round and the execution time of the timer interrupt process (main). That is, the relationship between the time T1 in which the basic process is completed and the execution time T2 of the timer interrupt process (main) is T1 + T2 <T. For this reason, the main control unit 41 repeatedly executes the basic process, but the basic process can be executed at least once while the timer interrupt process (main) is executed.

  The effect control board 90 is connected to the liquid crystal display 51, effect effect LED 52, speakers 53 and 54, effect switch 56, reel LED 55, and lower panel 1d, and these effect devices will be described later. It is driven by the control of the sub-control unit 91.

  In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 included in the effect control board 90 controls the output of the effect devices such as the liquid crystal display 51, effect effect LED 52, speakers 53 and 54, and reel LED 55. In addition to the sub-control unit 91, an output control unit that directly controls the output of the effect device may be mounted on the effect control board 90 or another board. When this configuration is adopted, the sub control unit 91 obtains the output pattern of the effect device based on the command from the main control unit 41, and the output control unit performs output control of the effect device based on the output pattern. In this way, the output control of the effect device can be performed by both the sub control unit 91 and the output control unit.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the slot machine 1 is configured to include the above-described liquid crystal display 51, effect effect LED 52, speakers 53 and 54, and effect switch 56 as effect devices, but is not limited to this, and other effects A device can also be adopted, and it is not always necessary to include the above-described rendering device. That is, each of the above-described effect devices is a device that is generally provided for improving game performance and does not affect the operation of the slot machine 1. For this reason, it is possible to employ various effect devices such as a so-called role item that is mechanically driven, a pseudo reel, and a liquid crystal display capable of stereoscopic display. However, in the present embodiment, the slot machine 1 can control the effect state during the assist time (hereinafter referred to as AT), which is a notification period in which the navigation effect can be executed, so that at least the above-mentioned navigation effect can be executed. It is necessary to have a device.

  The effect control board 90 includes a sub-control unit 91, a display control circuit 92, an LED drive circuit 93, an audio output circuit 94, a reset circuit 95, a switch detection circuit 96, a clock device 97, and a power interruption detection circuit. 98 and a panel drive circuit 99 are provided.

  Similar to the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 includes, for example, a CPU 91a, a RAM 91b, a ROM 91c, and an I / O 91d. Similar to the CPU 41a of the main control unit 41, the CPU 91a executes various processes according to the control program. The sub-control unit 91 receives a command output from the game control board 40, and executes various controls for performing effects such as control of various circuits based on the received signal.

  The display control circuit 92 performs display control of the liquid crystal display 51 based on the display control signal output from the sub control unit 91. The LED drive circuit 93 performs drive control of the effect LED 52, the reel LED 55, and the like based on the LED drive signal output from the sub-control unit 91. The audio output circuit 94 performs audio output control of the speakers 53 and 54 based on the audio output signal output from the sub control unit 91.

  The reset circuit 95 outputs a reset signal to the sub-control unit 91 when the power is turned off or when an initialization command is not input for a certain time. The switch detection circuit 96 receives a detection signal input from, for example, a switch of the effect switch 56 connected to the effect control board 90, and outputs the received detection signal to the sub-control unit 91. The clock device 97 outputs time information including date information and time information to the sub-control unit 91. The power interruption detection circuit 98 monitors the power supply voltage supplied to the slot machine 1 and outputs a voltage drop signal indicating the detection of the voltage drop to the sub-control unit 91 when the voltage drop is detected. Based on the panel drive signal output from the sub-control unit 91, the panel drive circuit 99 receives the housing position of the lower panel 1d (FIG. 3A and FIG. )) And a projecting position (see FIGS. 4A and 4B).

  Note that the reset circuit 95 has a lower voltage for releasing the reset signal than the reset circuit 49 provided in the game control board 40. For this reason, the sub-control unit 91 can be activated earlier than the main control unit 41 when the power is turned off. On the other hand, the power interruption detection circuit 98 is set to have a lower voltage for outputting the voltage drop signal than the power interruption detection circuit 48 included in the game control board 40. For this reason, the sub-control unit 91 detects a power failure at a later stage than the main control unit 41 at the time of power interruption, and performs power-off processing.

  Similar to the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 has an interrupt function. When receiving a command from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 generates an interrupt, receives the command output from the main control unit 41, and receives a buffer. Execute the command reception interrupt process stored in.

  Further, unlike the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 is not set to prohibit other interrupts even during execution of the interrupt process, and executes the command reception interrupt process with the highest priority. Is set. That is, when an interrupt based on command reception occurs, the sub control unit 91 interrupts the timer interrupt process (sub) and executes the command reception interrupt process even if the timer interrupt process (sub) is being executed. Even if interrupts that trigger the timer interrupt process (sub) occur at the same time, the command reception interrupt process is executed with the highest priority.

  The backup power is also supplied to the sub-control unit 91, and the RAM 91b can hold the stored data for a predetermined period even during a power failure.

  In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 can control the gaming state to the AT state. When the sub control unit 91 shifts to the AT state and wins the push order, it notifies the correct push order. In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 notifies the player of the correct push order by executing the effect via the liquid crystal display 51, but is not limited to this, and by voice or the like via the speakers 53 and 54. You may alert | report, and you may alert | report by lighting control of left middle right stop effective LED22L, 22C, 22R.

  Here, in a gaming state that is not in the AT state, the player cannot determine the winning combination or the correct pressing order, and therefore it is difficult to shift the gaming state by the pressing order operation corresponding to the winning combination. However, when shifting to the AT state, the sub-control unit 91 notifies the correct push order in response to any of the push order promotion replays 1 to 4 being won, so the player wins the promotion replay and the RT2 state. In addition, in the RT2 state, the sub-control unit 91 notifies the correct push order in response to any of the push forward entry replays 1 and 2 being won, so the player wins the entry replay. Can be shifted to the RT3 state. As the gaming state transitions in this way, the winning probability of the re-gamer is greatly increased, and even if the pushing order bell is won, the pushing order is notified by the sub-control unit 91, so that medals are consumed. The game can be digested while increasing the medals by correctly answering the push order of the push order bells.

  In the present embodiment, in a game in which the push-up promotion replay is won in a state other than the AT state, if the first stop (the reel that the player stops first) is other than the left reel 2L, the sub-control unit 91 Gives a penalty. Specifically, the sub-control unit 91 receives an alarm sound via the speakers 53 and 54 when the push-up promotion replay is won in a game that is not controlled to the AT state and the first stop is other than the left reel 2L. To set a restriction flag in the RAM 91b. The sub control unit 91 does not perform the AT state lottery in the game in which the restriction flag is set. In the present embodiment, the restriction flag is set for 5 games.

For this reason, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, a display is displayed to call attention so that the first stop is performed from the left reel 2L. Therefore, in the following description, it is assumed that the player performs a stop operation from the left reel 2L unless a navigation effect is executed on the liquid crystal display 51.
As long as the player performs a stop operation from the left reel 2L, even if the push order promotion replay is won, the push order is correct and the promotion replay does not win.

  In the present embodiment, the AT state ends when the predetermined number of games (for example, 30 games) is consumed and the number of navigation stocks in the navigation stock counter set in the RAM 91b becomes zero. Here, the navigation stock indicates an amount (the number of sets in the present embodiment) that can be controlled by the AT due to the large number. By consuming (subtracting) the number of navigation stocks, the AT is controlled while the game is consumed a predetermined number of times (for example, 30), and the navigation effect can be executed during that time. For this reason, it can be said that the greater the determined number of navigation stocks, the higher the degree of advantage for the player because the AT is controlled over a longer period. In the present embodiment, an AT controlled by consuming one navigation stock number is referred to as one AT.

  The AT state ends when the last navigation stock (one set) is digested, but is not limited to this. For example, it may be terminated when the RT3 state is terminated, or may be terminated when the push order bell is pressed incorrectly. When the push order bell is terminated when the push order is incorrect, it is preferable that the RT3 state is also controlled so as to end when the push order bell is pushed incorrectly. That is, it is preferable that the end condition for the AT state and the end condition for the RT3 state are related to each other.

  The detailed configuration of the slot machine 1 has been described above.

  Next, processing executed by the main control unit 41 will be described.

  In the slot machine 1, generally, a game progresses such as setting the number of bets, operating the start switch 7, operating the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R, stopping the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, and paying out medals. In accordance with the progress of such a game, the main control unit 41 executes a game process as shown in FIG.

  When the game process is started, the main control unit 41 starts a BET process (Step Sa1), an internal lottery process (Step Sa2), a reel rotation process (Step Sa3), a winning determination process (Step Sa4), a payout process (Step Sa5), The game end process (step Sa6) is sequentially executed. When the game end process ends, the process returns to the BET process again.

  In the BET process in step Sa1, the main control unit 41 stands by in a state where a bet number can be set, and a prescribed bet number corresponding to the gaming state is set and the game is started when the start switch 7 is operated.

  In the internal lottery process in step Sa2, the main control unit 41 performs lottery based on the random number value for internal lottery at the same time when the start switch 7 is detected, and determines whether or not winning of any combination is permitted. The winning flag indicating the winning combination is determined in the RAM 41b. In the internal lottery process, the main control unit 41 wins a flag indicating each winning combination as a flag, a bonus type if a bonus is won, and a type of effect determined by the main control unit 41 (for example, a freeze effect) ) And the like are transmitted to the sub-control unit 91.

  In the reel rotation process in step Sa3, the main control unit 41 rotates the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, and stops the rotation of the corresponding reels when the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected.

  In the winning determination process in step Sa4, the main control unit 41 responds to the display result (derivation result) derived to each reel 2L, 2C, 2R when the rotation of all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R is stopped. It is determined whether or not a winning is generated. In the winning determination process, the main control unit 41 transmits a winning determination command that can specify the derivation result to the sub-control unit 91.

  When it is determined in the payout process in step Sa5 that a winning is generated in the above-described winning determination process, the main control unit 41 adds a credit or a medal. Pay out.

  In the game end process in step Sa6, the main control unit 41 sets a gaming state in preparation for the next game.

Therefore, in the above game processing, after the reel rotation is stopped, if any winning combination does not occur, no payout or the like is executed, and the game state is not updated, and one game is finished. In addition, when any winning combination occurs, when a small winning combination or normal replay winning occurs, a payout or the like is executed, and the game state is not updated and one game ends. In addition, when a winning of a replaying player (promotion replay, rush replay, falling replay, or control replay) other than BB, RB, SB, or normal replay occurs, payout or the like is not executed, and the game state is updated to 1 game. Ends. Note that, regardless of whether or not any winning combination has occurred, when the specific winning combination is won internally, the gaming state is updated and one game is completed. In addition, for example, when a predetermined number of games are consumed without shifting to a new bonus state or advantageous RT state after the bonus state or advantageous RT state ends, whether or not a winning of any combination has occurred is determined. Regardless, it is possible to update the gaming state and end one game.
As a result, in the present embodiment, the display result is derived for each of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, thereby completing one game.

  In the game process, the main control unit 41 generates a command for the sub-control unit 91 and transmits the generated command to the sub-control unit 91 via the command transmission line when it is necessary according to the progress of the game. The sub-control unit 91 performs control of each rendering device, lottery for shifting to the AT state, and the like according to the received command.

  The special combination and the general combination described above are won in the internal lottery process and cannot be won unless the winning flag is set in the RAM 41b. In the present embodiment, the winning probability of each lottery role in the internal lottery process varies depending on the set value and the gaming state. That is, in addition to the set value of any one of 1 to 6, the gaming state is a normal gaming state described later, one of the RT1 to 3 states, the internal middle state, or the bonus state. A lottery is performed based on a lottery table that differs depending on whether there is any.

  The gaming state is set as a gaming state flag in the RAM 41b. For this reason, the main control unit 41 can determine the current gaming state by referring to the gaming state flag in the RAM 41b. Note that the normal gaming state and the RT1 to RT3 states are set as the same gaming state flag. For this reason, it is necessary to refer to the value of the RT flag in the RAM 41b in order to determine the normal gaming state and the RT1 to RT3 states. For example, the RT flag is set to 0 in the normal gaming state, 1 in the RT1 state, and the like.

  The lottery object combination is set according to a lottery table corresponding to each gaming state, as shown in FIGS. That is, the lottery target combination and the number of determination values differ depending on the normal gaming state, the SB state, the RT1 to 3 state, the internal medium state, and the bonus state.

  In the normal gaming state, the RT1 to 3 state, and the SB state, “BB”, “BB + watermelon”, “BB + watermelon + 1”, “BB + cherry”, “BB + cherry + 1”, “BB + 1”, “RB”, “RB + Watermelon”, “RB + Watermelon + 1”, “RB + Cherry”, “RB + Cherry + 1”, “RB + 1”, “SB”, “Middle Bell”, “Push Order Bell 1” , “Push order bell 2”, “push order bell 3”, “push order bell 4”, “push order bell 5”, “watermelon”, “watermelon + 1”, “cherry”, “cherry + 1” The internal lottery process is performed based on the lottery table in which “one piece combination” is set as the lottery target combination. In the SB state of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, the determination numerical value of “push order bell 1” is larger by 1 than the normal gaming state and the RT1 to 3 states.

  In the middle state, “middle bell”, “push order bell 1”, “push order bell 2”, “push order bell 3”, “push order bell 4”, “push order bell 5”, “watermelon”, “ The internal lottery process is performed based on the lottery table in which “watermelon + 1 sheet combination”, “cherry”, “cherry + 1 sheet combination”, and “one sheet combination” are set as the lottery target combination.

  In the bonus state, based on a lottery table in which “middle bell”, “watermelon”, “watermelon + 1 combination”, “cherry”, “cherry + 1 sheet combination”, and “single combination” are set as the lottery targets. Perform internal lottery processing.

  Furthermore, in the lottery table in the normal gaming state, “normal replay”, “push order promotion replay 1”, “push order promotion replay 2”, “push order promotion replay 3”, “push order promotion replay 4” are given as replaying roles. , Is set as the lottery target combination.

In the lottery tables in the RT1 state and the RT3 state, only “normal replay” is set as the lottery target role as the replaying role. In the lottery table in the RT2 state, as a replaying player, “normal replay”, “push order maintenance replay 1”, “push order maintenance replay 2”, “push order maintenance replay 3”, “push order entry replay 1”, “push” “Last entry replay 2” is set as the lottery target role.
Note that in the lottery table in the SB state, the re-gamer set in the lottery table in the original game state (normal game state, RT1-3 state) is set as the lottery target role as it is as the regamer, and the determination numerical value Also, the same value as the lottery table of the original gaming state is set. That is, the lottery table in the SB state is set depending on the lottery table in the original gaming state.

  In addition, the numerical value shown in FIG. 10, FIG. 11 (A) is a determination value which a lottery object combination wins, and an internal lottery process is performed based on this determination value. The denominator of the determination value is set to 65536 (2 to the 16th power). That is, the winning probability of the lottery target combination is the number of determination values / 65536. Moreover, although the determination value shown to FIG. 10, FIG. 11 (A) is made into the determination value in case a setting value is 1, it is not restricted to this. In order to design the medal payout rate to vary according to the set value as described above, for example, the determination value for the simultaneous winning combination may be increased as the set value increases.

  In the present embodiment, when a special combination and a general combination are won at the same time, the general combination is controlled so as to preferentially win. That is, for example, when “BB + watermelon” is won, the game is controlled so that the watermelon symbols are aligned on any of the winning lines.

  In addition, the winning flag of the general combination (small role or replaying combination) is valid only in the game in which the winning flag is set, and is invalid in the next game. On the other hand, the winning flag for the special combination is valid until the special combination is won from the game in which the winning flag is set, and is invalid in the game in which the special combination is won. In other words, in the case of a general role, if the selected game is not aligned, there will be no winning with a medal payout, but in the case of a special role, the winning flag is invalid even if it cannot be aligned in the selected game Therefore, even a game after the game won by the special role can be won. For this reason, in the internal lottery process in the game until the special combination wins, the special combination lottery is not performed, and the lottery process is performed based on the dedicated lottery table. Note that only the winning flag of SB is different from BB and RB, and if the winning game does not generate a prize, it becomes invalid in the next game. That is, the winning flag of SB is handled in the same manner as the winning flag of the general combination.

  The main control unit 41 allows winning of each combination (general combination or special combination) before the display result is derived and displayed on each reel 2L, 2C, 2R (actually, when the start switch 7 is detected). Is determined based on the above-mentioned lottery table. That is, when the start switch 7 is detected, an internal lottery process is performed, and if any winning combination is won, winning of the winning combination is allowed, so that winning combination can be derived and displayed on each reel 2L, 2C, 2R. it can.

  First, the main control unit 41 acquires a random number value for internal lottery (an integer from 0 to 65535) when the operation of the start switch 7 is detected. The main control unit 41 stores the acquired random value in a dedicated area (random number storage work) of the RAM 41b, and further stores the random value stored in the random value storage work in the BET process in step Sa1 of FIG. It is stored in a lottery area (lottery work).

  When executing the internal lottery process in step Sa2 in FIG. 13, the main control unit 41 refers to the gaming state flag set in the RAM 41b as shown in FIG. 14, and determines whether or not the current gaming state is a bonus state. Is determined (step Sb1).

  When the current gaming state is the bonus state (step Sb1; Yes), the main control unit 41 sets a lottery table corresponding to the bonus state in the RAM 41b (step Sb2).

  When the current gaming state is not a bonus state (step Sb1; No), the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the current gaming state is carrying over a special role, that is, whether or not it is an internal middle state. It discriminate | determines (step Sb3).

  When the current gaming state is an internal state (step Sb3; Yes), the main control unit 41 sets a lottery table corresponding to the internal state in the RAM 41b (step Sb4).

  When the current gaming state is not the internal state (step Sb3; No), the main control unit 41 refers to the value of the RT flag set in the RAM 41b, and the gaming state is any of the RT1 to 3 states. It is determined whether or not there is (step Sb5).

  When the current gaming state is one of the RT1 to 3 states (step Sb5; Yes), the main control unit 41 sets a lottery table corresponding to any of the RT1 to 3 states in the RAM 41b. (Step Sb6).

  When the current gaming state is not one of the RT1 to 3 states (step Sb5; No), the main control unit 41 refers to the gaming state flag set in the RAM 41b and determines whether or not the gaming state is the SB state. Is discriminated (step Sb7).

  When the current gaming state is the SB state (step Sb7; Yes), the main control unit 41 sets a lottery table corresponding to the SB state in the RAM 41b (step Sb8).

  When the current gaming state is not the SB state (step Sb7; No), the main control unit 41 determines that the normal gaming state is set, and sets a lottery table corresponding to the normal gaming state in the RAM 41b (step Sb9).

  When the main control unit 41 sets the lottery table according to each gaming state, the main control unit 41 acquires the determination value number according to the bet number and the set value from the set lottery table, and uses the acquired determination value number and the lottery work. Based on the stored random number value, a lottery process for determining whether or not a winning combination is won is executed (step Sb10). In the lottery process, the number of judgment values acquired from the lottery table is sequentially added to the numerical data (random number value) stored in the lottery work. When the result of the addition overflows, it is determined that the winning combination is won. The For this reason, a winning combination will be won with a probability (determination value / 65536) according to the number of determination values.

  When determining that any combination has been won, the main control unit 41 sets a winning flag corresponding to the combination determined to be won in the internal winning flag storing work of the RAM 41b (step Sb11).

  Then, the main control unit 41 generates an internal winning command that can specify the winning flag, and transmits the internal winning command to the sub-control unit 91 (step Sb12). After completing the command storage process, the main control unit 41 ends the internal lottery process and returns to the game process.

  The internal winning flag storage work is composed of a 2-byte area, and is divided into a special role storing work in which a special role winning flag is set and a general role storing work in which a general role winning flag is set. Has been. The winning flag set for the special combination storing work is set when the special combination is won, and is not cleared until the special combination wins. The winning flag set for the general combination storing work is set when the general combination is won, and is cleared when no combination is won.

  The main control unit 41 acquires a random number value for internal lottery when the operation of the start switch 7 is detected. For example, when the operation of the start switch 7 is erroneously detected due to noise such as static electricity, or the game starts. Even if the operation of the start switch 7 is detected in a state where it cannot be performed, if the random number value is acquired, the internal lottery process may not be normally performed. However, in the present embodiment, when the main control unit 41 can start the game in the BET process, the random value stored in the random value storage work is stored in the lottery work, and in the internal lottery process, it is stored in the lottery work. A lottery is performed on the basis of the random number. For this reason, even if the operation of the start switch 7 is erroneously detected when noise such as static electricity or the game cannot be started, the lottery storage work used in the internal lottery process is not affected. Processing can be performed.

  When one of the winning combinations is won in the internal lottery process, the main control unit 41 performs control to permit the derivation display of the winning combination in each reel 2L, 2C, 2R (FIG. 13, step Sa3). Here, stop control of each reel 2L, 2C, 2R will be described.

  The main control unit 41 creates a table index and a table stored in the ROM 41c when each of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R starts rotating or when any of the reels stops and an unstopped reel remains. The stop control table for each rotating reel is created with reference to the data for use. Then, when any operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel is detected, the main control unit 41 refers to the stop control table of the corresponding reel and refers to the stop control table referred to. Based on the number of sliding frames, control is performed to stop the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R corresponding to the operated stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R.

  Note that the number of sliding frames is the number of frames that pass on the reels after the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated and the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R actually stop. For example, when the 18th “white 7” of the left reel 2L shown in FIG. 6 passes the lower stage, the stop switch 8L is operated, and the 20th “bell” is actually stopped on the lower 2Lb of the left reel. It can be seen that the number of sliding frames was 2 frames.

  The table index stores an address for each setting state of the winning flag by internal lottery processing (hereinafter referred to as an internal winning state), and the main control unit 41 obtains an address corresponding to the internal winning state. Data for table creation can be acquired. Even when the internal winning states are different, the same address is stored in the table index when the same reel control is applied. In such a case, the stop control table is created with reference to the same table creation data.

  The table creation data is composed of a stop control table indicating the number of sliding symbols according to the stop operation position, and an address of the stop control table to be referred to according to the reel stop status. The stop operation position means the position of the symbol when the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is detected.

  The stop control table that is referred to according to the reel stop status may differ depending on the stop status of each reel 2L, 2C, 2R. That is, it may differ depending on whether all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are rotating, only one of the reels is stopped, or any two reels are stopped. Further, in a situation where any one of the reels is stopped, there may be a case where it differs depending on the stop position of the stopped reel. For this reason, the address of the stop control table to be referred to for each situation is registered for each rotating reel, and the main control unit 41 specifies the address of the stop control table to be referred to according to each situation. be able to. Then, the main control unit 41 can specify a necessary stop control table according to each situation from the specified address.

  Even when the stop status of the reels and the stop position of the stopped reels are different, when the same stop control table is applied, the same address may be registered as the address of the stop control table. In such a case, the same stop control table is referred to.

  The stop control table is a table that can specify the number of sliding frames for each timing at which stop operation (operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R) is performed. In the present embodiment, stepping motors that make one turn at a cycle of 168 steps (0 to 167) are employed for the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R. That is, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R make one round by driving the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R for 168 steps. The reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R have 21 areas (frames) divided every 8 steps (the number of steps in which one symbol moves) with respect to one reel. A region number of 0 to 20 is assigned from the reel reference position. On the other hand, the number of symbols arranged on one reel is 21, and symbol numbers 0 to 20 from the reel reference position are assigned to symbols of each reel. That is, the area numbers 0 to 20 of the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R are assigned to the symbol numbers 0 to 20 of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, respectively. In the stop control table, the number of sliding symbols for each region number is compressed and stored according to a predetermined rule, and the main control unit 41 expands the stop control table to obtain the number of sliding symbols for each region number. You can get it.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the stop control table created by referring to the table index and the table creation data includes the number of sliding frames from the stop reference position (the lower symbol in the present embodiment) for each area number. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the stop reference position may be the upper stage or the middle stage.

  When creating the stop control table, the main control unit 41 first obtains an address corresponding to the internal winning state of the game at the start of reel rotation based on the table index, and obtains table creation data. Then, the main control unit 41 acquires the address of the stop control table for each reel corresponding to the state in which all the reels are rotating from the table creation data. Further, the main control unit 41 develops a stop control table for each reel stored at the acquired address, and creates a stop control table for all reels.

  When one of the reels stops, or when any two of the reels stop, the main control unit 41 determines the stopped reel and the stop position area of the reel from the table creation data acquired at the start of reel rotation. The address of the stop control table for the unstopped reel corresponding to the number is acquired, and the stop control table for each reel stored in the acquired address is expanded to create a stop control table for the unstopped reel.

  Next, when the main control unit 41 detects an operation of any one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel, control when deriving a display result to the corresponding reel will be described. When the main control unit 41 detects the operation of any of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R corresponding to the rotating reel, the step from the reel reference position (for example, the 0th area) at the time when the stop operation is detected. The area number of the stop operation position is specified based on the number, the number of sliding symbols corresponding to the area number of the specified stop operation position is acquired by referring to the stop control table of the reel where the stop operation is detected. Then, the main control unit 41 performs control to rotate and stop the reels by the acquired number of sliding frames.

  Specifically, the main control unit 41 obtains the number of sliding frames obtained based on the number of steps from the reel reference position at the time when the stop operation is detected, and obtains the number of steps until the stop and stops the reels by the obtained number of steps. Control to stop by rotating. As a result, the area corresponding to the area number that is the stop position ahead of the number of sliding frames from the area corresponding to the area number of the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected is the stop reference position (lower area in this embodiment). Will stop.

  In the table index of this embodiment, only one address corresponding to one internal winning state in one gaming state is stored. Further, only one address is stored in one table creation data as the storage area address of the stop control table corresponding to the stop status of one reel (and the stop position of the stopped reel). That is, the table creation data corresponding to the gaming state and the internal winning state, and the address of the storage area of the stop control table corresponding to the reel stop status (and the stop position of the stopped reel) are uniquely determined, The stop control table created by referring to these is also uniquely determined. For this reason, when all of the gaming state, the internal winning state, and the reel stop status (and the stop position of the stopped reel) are the same, the main control unit 41 performs control based on the same stop control table.

  In the present embodiment, the number of sliding frames is set to a value of 0 to 4, and it is possible to stop the reel by drawing a maximum of 4 frames after detecting the stop operation. That is, the symbol stop position can be specified from a range of up to five frames including the symbol of the stop operation position.

  In the present embodiment, when one of the winning combinations is won, a stop control table is generated so as to perform control for drawing the winning combination to the winning line within the range of 4 frames. In addition, when no winning combination is won, a stop control table is generated so as to perform a control in which any winning combination is not aligned with the winning line. In other words, when any winning combination is won, if the stop operation is performed within the range of 4 winning combinations, the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination is controlled, for example, the number of sliding frames stops at 2 frames. There is nothing. If no winning combination is selected, the number of sliding symbols is set even if one of the winning combinations is stopped within the range of 0 frames. .

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the general combination is won in a state where the special combination has been carried over from before the previous game, control is performed so that the selected general combination is maximally drawn into the winning line within a range of 4 frames. . That is, the control is such that the general combination has priority over the special combination. However, when the general combination won in the 4-frame range cannot be withdrawn and the special combination can be withdrawn in the 4-frame range, the special combination is controlled with priority.

  Specifically, the main control unit 41 first creates a stop control table in which the number of sliding symbols is set so that the winning general combination is drawn to the winning line within a range of 4 frames, and the stop operation position is selected. If the selected general combination cannot be drawn, a stop control table in which the number of sliding symbols is set so that the selected special combination is drawn to the winning line in the range of four frames to the maximum is created. By controlling in this way, if the winning general role is drawn within the range of 4 frames on the winning line, the winning general role will be aligned, and the selected general role will not be drawn. If you can withdraw, you will be able to control the special roles that have been won.

  For example, in a state where BB (white 7, white 7, white 7) is elected, when “Bell” is won, the stop operation position of the winning line of the left reel 2L is “White 7” of No. 18. Since the 20th “bell” is arranged within the range of 4 frames, the 20th “bell” stops on the left reel 2L, and similarly, the “bell” is also applied to the middle and right reels 2C and 2R. ”Stops and“ Bell ”wins.

  Also, for example, in the state where BB (white 7, white 7, white 7) is won, when “cherry” is won, the stop operation position of the winning line of the left reel 2L is, for example, “White 7” ”, There is no“ cherry ”within the range of 4 frames, but“ white 7 ”exists, so 18th“ white 7 ”stops on the left reel 2L, and the middle, right reel 2C, Similarly, in 2R, “White 7” can be aligned by stopping operation within the range of 4 frames. However, for example, if the stop operation position in the lower winning line of the left reel 2L is “net 7” of No. 1, “cherry” of No. 5 exists within the range of 4 frames, so “cherry” stops. Control is performed.

  In this embodiment, “replay” or “bell” is arranged within 5 frames on each reel. That is, when “replay” or “bell” is won in a state where a special role is won, “replay” or “bell” is always provided. In the present embodiment, in such a case, the symbols are arranged so that the special roles are not aligned on the winning line at the same time as “Replay” or “Bell”. Alternatively, the symbols may be arranged so that the special combination is aligned with the invalid line simultaneously with “Replay” or “Bell”. In the case of adopting this configuration, for example, the control may be performed such that special roles are aligned in the lower parallel invalid lines. However, no winnings will be awarded if the winning lines are aligned.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, control is performed so that the general combination is given priority over the special combination in the winning line and the special combination is aligned with the winning line when the general combination cannot be withdrawn. Alternatively, the special combination may be arranged on the winning line in preference to the general combination, and the general combination may be aligned on the winning line when the special combination cannot be drawn.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 continues to rotate the reels until the operation of the corresponding stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is detected after the reels 2L, 2C, 2R start rotating. When the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is detected, control is performed to stop the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R corresponding to the operated stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. Even if the reel rotation temporarily stops due to the occurrence of a reel rotation error, the reel continues to rotate until the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected after the reel rotation is restarted. .

  Further, the main control unit 41 may automatically stop the reel on condition that a predetermined time has elapsed. In this case, the main control unit 41 controls the stop of the reels so that any combination is not stopped on the winning line even if any combination is won. However, when any of the reels is stopped, if a winning combination has already been confirmed, the winning is generated as it is. For example, when a part of reels (for example, the left reel 2L) has a winning combination that a predetermined symbol (for example, cherry symbol) stops and the winning is confirmed, the part of the reels (for example, the left reel 2L) When a predetermined symbol (for example, cherry symbol) is stopped and a winning combination is confirmed, the other reels (for example, middle reel 2C and right reel 2R) may be automatically stopped.

  The above is the description of the processing executed by the main control unit 41.

  Next, processing executed by the sub control unit 91 will be described.

  As described above, the sub control unit 91 performs effect control according to various commands received from the main control unit 41. When receiving various commands from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 executes a command reception interrupt process as shown in FIG. 15, receives the command via the command transmission line (step Sc1), and receives the received command. Is stored in a dedicated area of the RAM 91b (step Sc2). The RAM 91b is provided with an area capable of storing a maximum of 16 commands, and the sub-control unit 91 can accumulate a plurality of commands in the RAM 91b. Note that the number of commands that can be stored in the RAM 91b is not limited to 16, and may be expanded within a possible range.

  The command stored in the RAM 91b in the command reception interrupt process is processed in the timer interrupt process (sub). When starting the timer interrupt process (sub), the sub control unit 91 determines whether or not an unprocessed command is stored in the RAM 91b as shown in FIG. 16 (step Sd1). If not stored (step Sd1; No), the process ends. If an unprocessed command is stored (step Sd1; Yes), each rendering device is controlled based on the oldest command. That is, the sub control unit 91 controls each effect device in the order of the received commands.

  The sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the command is an internal winning command (step Sd2). When the command is not an internal winning command (step Sd2; No), the sub-control unit 91 executes a process according to the type of command (step Sd13) and ends the process. When the command is an internal winning command (step Sd2; Yes), the sub-control unit 91 stores a winning flag in the RAM 91b (step Sd3) and determines whether the AT flag is on (step Sd4). The AT flag is a flag indicating whether or not the AT state is set in the RAM 91b. The AT flag is turned on when in the AT state, and turned off when not in the AT state.

  When the AT flag is on (step Sd4; Yes), the sub control unit 91 refers to the RAM 91b to determine whether or not the winning flag is a flag indicating “normal replay” (step Sd5). When the winning flag is a flag indicating “normal replay” (step Sd5; Yes), the sub-control unit 91 executes an internal push order navigation determination process (step Sd6). The internal push order navigation determination process is a process for determining whether to notify the internal push order specified from the received internal winning command.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 externally outputs a special signal on condition that the value of the continuous correct answer counter becomes “3”. The external device that has received the special signal can display the number of times controlled to the AT state (AT number) so that the player can recognize it. The AT number at this time is required to be an accurate value.

  Here, as in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the case of a configuration in which the AT is terminated on the condition that a predetermined number of games are consumed, for example, “Transition to AT state-special role winning / winning-to bonus state” The AT state may be interrupted by the transition to the bonus state or the like, such as “Transition—Bonus end—Transition to the AT state again”. At this time, if the configuration is such that the special signal is externally output when the AT state is simply started, the special signal will be externally output again even after the AT state is interrupted. There is a possibility that the special signal is output to the outside twice and the AT number to be displayed is two times even though the actual AT number is one time.

  For this reason, in this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not to report the internal pressing order according to the game situation. That is, the sub-control unit 91 notifies the internal push order when the special signal needs to be output externally by making the internal push order correct, and notifies the internal push order when the special signal does not need to be output externally. do not do. However, even if the internal pressing order is not notified, the value of the continuous correct answer counter becomes “3” by the player's operation, and a special signal may be output. In order to avoid such a situation, the sub-control unit 91 does not need to output a special signal, and when the value of the continuous correct counter may be “3”, the internal control sequence Informs the different pressing order (incorrect answer pressing order).

  Hereinafter, the situation determined by the sub-control unit 91 will be described. The sub-control unit 91 makes the transition to the AT state for the first time after winning the AT, and the gaming state is the RT3 state (at the time of the first hit AT), In the case of “state (at AT after power interruption)”, it is determined that a special signal needs to be output to the outside.

  In addition, even if the gaming state is the RT3 state, the sub-control unit 91 "changes to the AT state after the AT is interrupted and the gaming state is the RT3 state (at the time of AT after the interruption)" In the case of “Transition to state (at RT after pushing mistake)”, it is determined that it is not necessary to output a special signal externally.

  For these determinations, a flag based on the number of AT digestion games can be used. In this case, for example, the sub control unit 91 turns on the flag set in the RAM 91b when the AT digestion starts and the number of AT digestion games is 0 (at the time of the first hit AT). While the flag is on, the sub-control unit 91 keeps reporting the internal push order, turns off the flag on condition that the value of the continuous correct counter is “3”, and reports the correct answer of the internal push order. Limit. That is, when the flag is turned on, it means that the special signal needs to be output to the outside, and when the flag is turned off, it means that it is not necessary to output the special signal to the outside.

  Further, when a power interruption occurs, the flag may be turned on according to whether or not it is in the AT state during the power interruption process or the activation process, or whether or not the gaming state is the RT3 state. Since the flag is turned on after the power interruption, the sub-control unit 91 continues to notify the internal push order until the value of the continuous correct counter becomes “3”, and when the value of the continuous correct counter becomes “3”, The main control unit 41 outputs a special signal to the outside.

  In order to control in this way, it is assumed that a continuous correct counter is set in the RAM 91b in the sub-control unit 91 as well as in the main control unit 41. The update timing of the continuous correct answer counter may include the value of the continuous correct counter included in the command transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the sub control unit 91, and the sub control unit 91 may update the same value by receiving the command. The sub control unit 91 may autonomously update by executing the same process as the process of the main control unit 41.

  When the AT flag is off (step Sd4; No), the sub control unit 91 performs an AT lottery process (step Sd7). After the AT lottery process, the sub control unit 91 determines whether or not the AT is won by the lottery process (step Sd8). If the AT is won (step Sd8; Yes), the AT flag in the RAM 91b is turned on (step Sd9), and the process proceeds to the next process.

  After the internal push order navigation decision process, or when the winning flag is a flag indicating “normal replay” (step Sd5; No), or after the AT flag is turned on or when the AT is not won (step) Sd8; No), the sub-control unit 91 selects an effect pattern stored in the ROM 91c based on the AT flag and the winning flag (step Sd10). Here, when the internal winning command is received, the effect pattern is selected at the selection rate corresponding to the result of the internal lottery, that is, the winning flag, and is set in the RAM 91b. The selection rate of the production pattern is registered in the production table stored in the ROM 91c, and the sub-control unit 91 refers to the selection rate from the production table according to the winning flag when receiving the internal winning command, An effect pattern is selected according to the selection rate, and the selected effect pattern is set in the RAM 91b. In addition, when the production pattern is already set in the RAM 91b, for example, during the continuous production, the sub control unit 91 proceeds with the process according to the production pattern without selecting a new production pattern.

  After the effect pattern is selected, the sub control unit 91 refers to the control pattern table stored in the ROM 91c, acquires the control pattern, and sets the acquired control pattern in the RAM 91b (step Sd11). In the control pattern table, various patterns corresponding to command types are registered for each of a plurality of types of effect patterns. The effect pattern is, for example, a display pattern of the liquid crystal display 51, a lighting mode of the effect effect LED 52, or the like. In accordance with this control pattern table, the sub-control unit 91 controls the production according to the progress of the game.

  If the sub-control unit 91 receives a new command during execution of the effect control triggered by the reception of the command, the sub-control unit 91 stops the effect control being executed, and the effect corresponding to the newly received command. Execute the control. That is, even if the production control is not completed, the production can be canceled and the production control based on the new command can be executed. For example, even when an effect based on the command is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, if the player starts the game before the effect is completed, the effect is canceled.

  Control of effects being executed according to commands accompanying operations that are essential when a player starts a game, such as BET commands received when the MAX BET switch 6 is operated, and internal winning commands received when the start switch 7 is operated May be canceled. By adopting such a configuration, when the player wants to start the next game quickly, it does not cause troublesome thoughts. In addition, for a specific effect, a configuration may be adopted in which control of the effect is continued when any command is received. In this case, when the above-described specific effect occurs, the player can have a sense of expectation.

  Then, the sub-control unit 91 executes effect control according to the effect pattern (step Sd12), and ends the process. As described above, since the production pattern is selected according to the selection rate, even if the same internal winning command that is the result of the same internal lottery is received, the production pattern is not always the same.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, whenever an effect is selected (step Sd10, Sd13, etc.), the special effect execution process shown in FIG. 17 is performed. When executing the special effect execution process, the sub control unit 91 determines whether or not the selected effect is an effect of starting a battle among the battle effects (step Se1). The battle effect is an example of a possibility effect that informs the presence / absence of winning after asking whether or not the AT is won. The battle effects of the present embodiment include a battle start effect 512 (see FIG. 18A), a battle effect, and a battle end effect. Here, the battle start effect 512 is an example of a roaring effect in which a teammate character starts a battle with an enemy character. Further, the effect during battle is an example of a rendezvous effect in which an ally character attacks an enemy character or defends against an enemy character's attack. Furthermore, the battle end effect is an example of a notification effect in which an ally character wins, draws, and loses to an enemy character and ends the battle. If it is not won, the production that the ally character loses is selected.

  When the selected effect is not a battle start effect (step Se1; No), the sub-control unit 91 repeats the process of step Se1, and when the selected effect is a battle start effect (step Se1; Yes), the panel is moved. It is determined whether or not the flag is on (step Se2). Here, the panel movement flag is a flag indicating whether or not to move the lower panel 1d. The panel movement flag of the present embodiment is normally set to ON, and when the player inputs an instruction to restrict the movement of the lower panel 1d on the panel movement setting screen described later (specifically, described later) The “NO” button 513b is selected).

When the panel movement flag is on (step Se2; Yes), the sub-control unit 91 moves the lower panel 1d to the accommodation position (FIG. 3A and FIG. 3 (B)) to the projecting position (see FIGS. 4A and 4B) (step Se3), and the panel pressing effect 511 shown in FIG. 18A is executed (step Se4). In the present embodiment, as the movement from the housing position of the lower panel 1d to the protruding position, reverse rotation driving of the arm driving unit 166 and high-speed movement (fast movement) by the torsion spring 157 are executed.
Here, the panel pressing effect 511 is an effect that prompts the player to press the lower panel moved to the protruding position toward the storage position. In the panel pressing effect 511 of the present embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 18A, if the lower panel is pressed like "Chance! Press the panel that popped out!" An image of a character string that suggests the possibility is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

Returning to FIG. 17, after the panel pressing effect 511 is executed, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the pressing detection sensor 170 has detected an operation of returning the lower panel 1d to the accommodation position by the player (step Se5). Specifically, it is determined whether or not the press detection sensor 170 that has been turned off by the lower panel 1d being moved to the protruding position is turned on again. When the sub-control unit 91 detects an operation of returning the lower panel 1d to the accommodation position (step Se5; Yes), the sub-control unit 91 performs a locking operation after the lower panel 1d is moved to the accommodation position (after returning) (step Se6). .
After returning the lower panel 1d (step Se6), or when the panel movement flag is off (step Se2; No), the sub-control unit 91 executes the battle start effect 512 (step Se7) and ends the process. To do.

  On the other hand, when the operation of returning the lower panel 1d to the accommodation position is not detected (step Se5; No), the sub-control unit 91 has passed a predetermined period (for example, 30 seconds) after moving the lower panel 1d to the protruding position. Whether or not (step Se8). In order to control in this way, in the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 can measure the time after the lower panel 1d is moved using a timer. If the predetermined period has not elapsed (step Se8; No), the sub-control unit 91 returns to the process of step Se5. If the predetermined period has elapsed (step Se8; Yes), the sub-control unit 91 passes through the panel drive circuit 99. Then, the lower panel 1d is moved from the protruding position to the accommodation position by the moving mechanism of the lower panel 1d (step Se9), and the process is terminated.

  In the present embodiment, the lower panel setting process shown in FIG. 19 is executed from the time of power-on. When executing the lower panel setting process, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the player has performed an operation of inputting the effect switch 56 as shown in FIG. 19 (step Sf1). When the operation for inputting the production switch 56 is not performed (step Sf1; No), the sub-control unit 91 repeats the process of step Sf1 and when the operation for inputting the production switch 56 is performed (step Sf1; Yes). ), A panel movement setting screen 513 shown in FIG. 18B is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 (step Sf2).

  Here, the panel movement setting screen 513 is a screen for setting whether to allow or restrict the movement between the housing position and the protruding position of the lower panel 1d. The panel movement setting screen 513 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18B, indicates a character string “Do you want to produce an effect of popping out the panel?” And “lower panel 1d is allowed to move”. This is a screen displaying images of “YES” button 513a and “NO” button 513b indicating that the movement of lower panel 1d is restricted.

  Returning to FIG. 19, after the panel movement setting screen 513 is displayed, the sub-control unit 91 inputs that the player selects the “YES” button 513 a or the “NO” button 513 b using the buttons 7, 8 L, 8 C, 8 R, etc. Is determined (step Sf3). If the input is not completed (step Sf3), the sub-control unit 91 repeats the process of step Sf3. If the input is completed (step Sf3; Yes), the sub-control unit 91 determines whether the “YES” button 513a is selected. (Step Sf4). When the “YES” button 513a is selected (step Sf4; Yes), the sub control unit 91 turns on the panel movement flag (step Sf5), and when the “NO” button 513b is selected (step Sf4; No). Then, the panel movement flag is turned OFF (step Sf6). After setting the panel movement flag, the sub-control unit 91 hides the panel movement setting screen 513 (step Sf7), and ends the process.

  The above is the description of the processing executed by the sub-control unit 91.

  Next, specific control of the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment will be described.

When it is determined that the battle start effect 512 is to be executed, the sub-control unit 91 locks the lower panel 1d unless the player selects the “NO” button 513b on the panel movement setting screen 513. The state is released and the lower panel 1d is moved from the storage position to the protruding position, and a panel pressing effect 511 is executed.
At this time, the sub-control unit 91 reversely drives the arm drive unit 166 and drives the plunger drive unit 169 via the panel drive circuit 99, thereby releasing the locked state of the lower panel 1d. The lower panel 1d is moved at high speed from the accommodation position to the protruding position by the elastic force of 157. That is, the lower panel 1d is quickly displayed.

Further, after the movement of the lower panel 1d, when an operation of pressing the lower panel 1d by the player who has confirmed the panel pressing effect 511 is detected by the pressing detection sensor 170, the battle start effect 512 is executed and the lower panel 1d is moved. Return to the storage position and lock again.
At this time, the sub-control unit 91 drives the arm drive unit 166 in the reverse rotation direction and the plunger drive unit 169 via the panel drive circuit 99 to drive the free end portion of the drive plunger 164 to the drive notch portion. The whole drive arm 160 can be moved integrally by being fitted to 162a and 162b, and then the lower panel 1d is moved to the accommodation position and returned to the locked state again.

If the operation of depressing the lower panel 1d is not performed for a predetermined period after the lower panel 1d is moved, the lower panel 1d is returned to the accommodation position without being executed, and is again locked.
In this way, unless the operation of pressing the lower panel 1d is performed, the battle effect is not started and the player cannot recognize the possibility of winning the AT, so the player presses the lower panel 1d. Can be interested in.

  This completes the description of the specific control of the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment.

As described above, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the sub control unit 91 controls the moving mechanism of the lower panel 1d shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. The panel 1d can be moved between the storage position and the protruding position.
In this way, the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment performs various effects such as the special effect shown in FIG. 18A using the lower panel 1d that moves between the accommodation position and the protruding position. can do.

Here, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 20A, when the lower panel 1d is moved to the accommodation position, the portion of the slot machine 1 that is arranged closest to the player side is This is the front end of the medal tray 1e (see the one-dot chain line). That is, the front end (see the two-dot chain line) of the lower panel 1d is arranged behind the front end of the medal tray 1e (see the left-pointing arrow in FIG. 20A).
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 20B, even if the lower panel 1d moves to the protruding position, the lower end of the lower panel 1d that is the front end of the lower panel 1d (see the two-dot chain line) It is comprised so that it may be arrange | positioned back rather than the front end (refer dashed-dotted line) of the saucer 1e (refer the left-pointing arrow of FIG.20 (B)).

  By doing in this way, in the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, even if the lower panel 1d moves to the protruding position, the front lower end of the lower panel 1d moves forward (player side) from the front end of the medal tray 1e. Therefore, contact of the lower panel 1d with the player can be reduced more than the slot machine in which the front end of the lower panel 1d moved to the protruding position can be the front end of the slot machine itself. As a result, the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment suffers from a bad influence such as a player being shaken by the sudden contact of the lower panel 1d and losing balance, and a fall or injury caused by the lower panel 1d colliding with the player. Can be reduced.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the sub control unit 91 detects the battle start effect 512 when the press detection sensor 170 detects the player's operation of returning the lower panel 1d from the protruding position to the accommodation position side. Execute.
By doing in this way, the slot machine 1 of this embodiment can perform an effect when an operation is performed by the player to return the lower panel 1d from the protruding position to the accommodation position side. Similarly to 56, it can be used as an operation means for effect execution. As a result, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment can make the player interested in the operation of the lower panel 1d, and the player has performed an operation of returning the lower panel 1d from the protruding position to the accommodation position side. Occasionally, the game is more interesting than a slot machine that does not produce a performance.

  In particular, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the player's operation of returning the lower panel 1d from the protruding position to the accommodation position side is detected by the press detection sensor 170, the player's operation moves the lower panel 1d to the accommodation position. Even if it is insufficient to return completely, the sub-control unit 91 can automatically move the lower panel 1d to the accommodation position and return it to the locked state.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the lower panel 1d moves between the accommodation position and the protruding position when the rotation shaft 156 provided at the upper end rotates.
By doing in this way, the slot machine 1 of this embodiment has easier control of the movement of the lower panel 1d than the slot machine in which the rotating shaft 156 is not provided in the lower panel 1d.

In particular, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the lower panel 1d is provided below the slot machine 1, and the rotating shaft 156 is provided at the upper end of the lower panel 1d. When the lower panel 1d is moved from the accommodation position to the protruding position by the rotation of the rotating shaft 156, the angle formed by the straight line extending along the direction in which the player looks down on the lower panel 1d and the front surface of the lower panel 1d is perpendicular. It moves so as to approach (see FIGS. 20A and 20B).
By doing so, it becomes easier for the player to see the front surface of the lower panel 1d than a slot machine that does not move so that the front surface of the lower panel 1d is perpendicular to the direction in which the player looks down on the lower panel 1d. As a result, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the information displayed on the front surface of the lower panel 1d can be easily used as part of the effect.

Further, according to the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 displays the panel movement setting screen 513 shown in FIG. 18B when the effect switch 56 is input by the player. Therefore, it is possible to set whether the player allows or restricts the movement of the lower panel 1d via the panel movement setting screen 513.
By doing so, a player who does not like to move the lower panel 1d can select the “NO” button 513b on the panel movement setting screen 513, and the lower panel 1d will not move. You can play games. As a result, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment can reduce a decrease in the interest of the game compared to the slot machine that cannot restrict the movement of the lower panel 1d.

  In the embodiment described above, the sub-control unit 91 unconditionally moves the lower panel 1d to the protruding position and executes the panel pressing effect 511 when the selection to execute the battle start effect is made. For example, the movement of the lower panel 1d and the panel pressing effect 511 may not be executed unless a selection to execute the battle start effect is made when the bonus winning or AT winning is confirmed. By doing so, the player who recognizes that the special effect is executed when the bonus winning or AT winning is confirmed is interested in whether or not the special effect is executed. So that the fun of the game is further improved.

  In the embodiment described above, the sub-control unit 91 requests an operation of returning the lower panel 1d moved to the protruding position as a condition for executing the battle start effect 512 when the selection to execute the special effect is made. However, for example, the operation of the MAXBET switch 6, the operation of the effect switch 56, or a combination of the operations of these switches may be requested together. In this case, a plurality of operations may be ordered and the battle start effect 512 may not be executed unless the operations are performed in the correct order. In this way, various effects can be executed as the special effects, and the player can be interested in executing the special effects, so that the interest of the game is further improved.

  In the above embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 executes the movement of the lower panel 1d and the display of the panel pressing effect 11 and the battle start effect 512 when executing the special effect. For example, these effects may be combined with lighting of the effect LED 52, audio output of the speakers 53 and 54, and the like. By doing so, the player can be interested in the execution of special effects using various effect devices, so that the interest of the game is further improved.

  In the present embodiment, the title (model name) and the payout table are displayed on the lower panel 1d, but other information may be displayed. For example, the lower panel 1d may be configured in the same manner as the liquid crystal display 51 to display various images according to the game situation. In this case, for example, when the lower panel 1d is moved to the protruding position, a character image that prompts the player to press the lower panel 1d (for example, a character image of “PUSH !!”) or a player is displayed. On the other hand, a character image suggesting the degree of expectation (for example, a character image such as “chance !!” or “great chance !!!!”) may be displayed.

  Note that, as in the above embodiment, the lower panel 1d has a lower end portion that is obliquely upward and forward with a rotation shaft 156 provided at the upper edge as a center of rotation so that a player can easily see a title, a payout table, and the like. The lower panel 1d is not limited to rotational movement, but may be slid, for example. For example, a moving mechanism capable of moving back and forth while supporting the lower panel 1d may be provided so that the lower panel 1d can be moved forward and backward. In addition, the moving direction of the moving mechanism is not limited to the front-rear direction, and may be inclined in the up-down direction or the left-right direction. Therefore, for example, the lower panel 1d may be movable between a front diagonally upward and a rear diagonally downward.

  As in the present embodiment, the rotation axis 156 of the lower panel 1d is provided at the upper end of the lower panel 1d so that the player of the lower panel 1d can easily see the title, the payout table, etc. Although it is preferable that the lower end portion is rotated about the rotation shaft 156 as a rotation center, the rotation shaft 156 may not be provided at the upper end portion. For example, you may provide the rotating shaft of the lower panel 1d in the center part and lower end part of an up-down direction. Further, the axial direction of the rotation shaft 156 is not limited to the left-right direction, and may be, for example, a direction inclined with respect to the up-down direction or the left-right direction. For example, the rotation axis of the lower panel 1d extending in the up-down direction may be provided at the right end, left end, or left-right center.

  In the present embodiment, when the special effect shown in FIG. 18A is executed, the lower panel 1d is moved early from the storage position to the protruding position, but may be moved late. Further, in the present embodiment, only one type of special effect for moving the lower panel 1d is executed. However, early and late advance of the lower panel 1d is performed in accordance with the expectation by executing a plurality of types of special effects. And may be used properly. For example, the lower panel 1d may be moved early when the expected degree of AT winning is high, and the lower panel 1d may be moved late when the expected degree of AT winning is low.

  In the above embodiment, the slot machine that can define the bonus state, the internal medium state, and the AT state and can be controlled to the advantageous game state has been described. It may be a slot machine.
