Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine, and more particularly to a gaming machine capable of reducing data capacity and increasing efficiency of stop control processing in stop control of a rotating reel.

  Conventionally, in a gaming machine such as a slot machine, a plurality of rotating reels capable of variably displaying a plurality of symbols, a start switch for starting a variation display of the symbols of the rotating reels by a player's operation, and a plurality of rotating reels, respectively. And a plurality of stop switches for individually stopping the change display of the symbols on the rotating reels by the player's operation after the start of the display of the change of the symbols on the plurality of rotating reels, and the progress and effect of the game And a control means for notifying the outside of various effects, and the control device is a lottery for winning or losing a role (hereinafter referred to as “role lottery”). And the combination of symbols related to the winning combination is effective, based on the result of the combination lottery and the stop switch stop operation. A judgment of whether or not aligned on emissions, and so as to impart a predetermined benefit, depending on the result of the determination.

  Here, in the stop control for stopping the rotation of the rotating reel, a plurality of stop tables corresponding to the result of the lottery by the winning lottery means and the rotating reel corresponding to the operated stop switch are provided in advance. In this case, a predetermined stop table is selected from the plurality of stop tables, and the stop position of the rotating reel is determined based on the selected stop table and the symbol position when the stop switch is operated. After rotating to the determined stop position, the rotation is stopped. In such a gaming machine, the stop position of each rotating reel is determined for each result of the winning lottery by the winning lottery means, so it is necessary to provide a stop table for each result of the winning lottery by the winning lottery means and each rotating reel. There is. Specifically, for example, a stop table for a left rotation reel, a stop table for a middle rotation reel, and a stop table for a right rotation reel when winning a cherry role are required. In this case, a large number of stop tables are required such as a stop table for the left rotating reel, a stop table for the middle rotating reel, and a stop table for the right rotating reel.

  Further, as in the assist time game (AT), when the stop control is changed according to the order in which the player operates the stop switch, that is, the so-called stop operation order (correct answer push order, incorrect answer push order), that is, the stop table is changed. Requires a stop table of all patterns according to the result of the winning lottery (the type of winning flag), the rotating reel that has been stopped, the symbol position when the stop switch is operated, and the stop operation sequence. Furthermore, if the number of winning combinations increases, the number of stop tables becomes enormous and the amount of data in the stop table becomes large.

For this reason, even if the winning combination and the rotating reels to be stopped are different, if there is a portion where the stop position is the same in the stop table, there is one that attempts to reduce the amount of data by providing a common table (Patent Document) 1).
In such a prior art (Patent Document 1), a common table is used in a portion where the stop position in the stop table is the same, and a unique table is provided for each winning combination and each rotating reel in a portion where the stop position in the stop table is different, The stop process is performed by combining the common table and the unique table.

  Here, in some slot machines in recent years, there is a so-called overlapping winning in which a winning of a small role and a winning of a bonus occur in the winning lottery. This is because by setting up a winning combination of a so-called rare role with a low probability of drawing such as a cherry role or a watermelon role and a bonus winning combination with a bonus transition role, It is possible to give a sense of expectation that “A bonus may have been won (a bonus flag has been established)?”. In order to execute such overlapping winnings in the role lottery, it is necessary to provide a lottery probability for each combination of a plurality of combinations, and the number of lottery result lottery results is larger than in the conventional case where the overlapping winning is not performed. There is a tendency to increase.

JP 2013-34783 A

In the related art (Patent Document 1) as described above, a common table is used in a portion where the stop position in the stop table is the same. However, if the stop position is greatly different for each combination, the ratio at which the common table can be created May occur or may not be created.
Furthermore, each role with a different stop position requires a unique table. Therefore, each role has a stop table that combines a common table and a unique table. If the percentage of the common table that can be created is low or cannot be created when providing a stop table with a different pattern, a significant effect cannot be expected in reducing the data capacity, and the stop control process cannot be made more efficient. There was a problem.

In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a gaming machine capable of saving storage capacity (memory) and improving the efficiency of stop control processing in stop control of a rotating reel. Objective.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine capable of selecting processing contents that maximizes the effect of data compression and stop control processing efficiency according to the characteristics of the data.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of reflecting a part of the lottery result of the role lottery during the process.

The present invention further can be handled as one data in common a group represented by a predetermined range determined in advance, than each separately provided data, it is possible to compress the data, attempt to save the storage capacity An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that can be used.

The present invention further allows a plurality of types of data to be collected from a single piece of data, allows the data to be compressed and saves storage capacity rather than having each data individually. The purpose is to provide a machine.

The present invention is characterized by the following points. That is, a plurality of rotating reels 62 around which a plurality of symbols 61 are arranged, a start switch 40 for starting rotation of the rotating reel 62, and a plurality of stop switches 50 for stopping the rotation of each rotating reel 62 And a lottery drawing means 120 for performing a lottery of a combination based on the operation of the start switch 40 (hereinafter referred to as “role lottery”), a result of the combination lottery of the combination lottery means 120 and the stop switch 50 A gaming machine 10 including stop control means 140 that performs stop control of the rotary reel 62 in accordance with stop operation timing, wherein the stop control means 140 is configured to rotate the stop switch 50 when the stop switch 50 is stopped. A plurality of stop tables 440 defining information on the stop position of the rotating reel 62 according to the symbol position of the reel 62, and a single stop table 440 used from the plurality of stop tables 440 Table selection means 500 to be selected, and reel stop processing means 600 for stopping the rotary reel 62 using the single stop table 440 selected by the table selection means 500, and the lottery result of the winning lottery A first lottery flag value is provided as a parameter corresponding to a part of the lottery, a second lottery flag value is provided as a parameter corresponding to a part different from the part of the lottery result of the role lottery, and the table selecting means 500 Specific value acquisition means 520 for acquiring a specific value corresponding to the first lottery flag value and the rotary reel 62 on which the first stop operation has been performed from a predetermined number of numerical values; Corresponding to the specific value and the rotating reel 62 on which the stop operation has been performed, a pointer determination table 542 for determining a pointer from a predetermined number of numerical values is provided. Based on the pointer and the second lottery flag value, the pointer determination means 540 that determines the pointer using the bull 542, and a process that can change the pointer (hereinafter referred to as “special process”) are executed. Based on the special processing means 580 and the pointer after the special processing, a new specific value is set as the specific value or the single stop table 440 is selected from a plurality of processes. Branch processing determining means 560 for branch processing for determining any of the processes, and when the new specific value is set in the branch processing, the pointer determining means 540 A new pointer is determined based on the rotating reel 62 on which the stop operation has been performed, and the special processing is performed based on the new pointer and the second lottery flag value. When the branch process is repeated based on the pointer and the single stop table 440 is selected in the branch process, the reel stop processing unit 600 performs the stop process using the single stop table 440. It is performed.

In the present invention, the specific value acquisition unit 520 acquires a specific value corresponding to the first lottery flag value as a result of the role lottery and the rotary reel 62 on which the first stop operation (first stop operation) has been performed. .
Then, the pointer determination unit 540 determines a pointer based on the specific value acquired by the specific value acquisition unit 520 and the rotating reel 62 on which the stop operation has been performed.
Then, the special processing means 580 executes special processing that can change the pointer based on the pointer and the second lottery flag value as a result of the role lottery.

The branch process determining means determines one of the processes in the branch process based on the pointer after the special process. In the branch process, when a new specific value is set, the pointer determination unit 540 determines a new pointer as a parameter based on the new specific value and the rotating reel 62 on which the stop operation has been performed. To do. Based on this new pointer, the branching process is repeated. In the meantime, when a single stop table 440 is selected based on the pointer, the stop table 440 performs stop processing.
That is, finally, when a specific value corresponding to the result of the lottery and the rotating reel 62 on which the stop operation has been performed is acquired, a single stop table is obtained via the pointer based on the specific value. 440 is determined.

  As a result, there is no need for all patterns of the stop table 440 corresponding to the stop operation order for each rotary reel 62 in accordance with the type of winning combination. For example, when the bell combination is a winning combination, the stop table when the left rotating reel 64 is stopped first (first stopping operation), and then the middle rotating reel 66 is stopped second (first operation). Each stop table is provided independently such as a stop table at the time of (2 stop operation) and then a stop table at the time of the third stop operation (third stop operation) of the right rotation reel 68. The total number of stop tables 440 can be reduced as compared with the one. Since the number of types of the stop table 440 can be reduced, the overall data capacity in the stop control of the rotary reel 62 can be reduced.

  Further, throughout the entire stop control, a single stop table 440 is finally selected via a pointer using a parameter called a specific value. When a single stop table 440 is selected from a plurality of stop tables 440 that can be stopped, a lottery is performed, or predetermined parameters for determining a priority order for selecting a single stop table 440 (for example, a medal Processing such as calculating the amount of profits to be given to the player, such as the number of payouts, is not performed. In other words, compared to stop control that uses many such parameters and passes through many processing steps, the efficiency of stop control processing can be improved by using a parameter called a specific value throughout the stop control.

  By the specific value acquisition means 520, the first lottery flag value as a parameter corresponding to a part of the lottery result of the role lottery, and the rotary reel 62 (the so-called first stop operation reel) on which the first stop operation is performed A specific value corresponding to is acquired. Thereafter, a pointer is determined by the pointer determination means 540 based on the specific value and the stopped rotating reel 62. Based on the pointer and the second lottery flag value as a parameter corresponding to the part different from the part of the lottery result of the role lottery (that is, different from the first lottery flag value) by the special processing means 580. Special processing is executed.

  As described above, in the present invention, the specific value acquisition unit 520 does not determine the specific value based on all the results of the winning lottery and the first stop operation reel. The result of the role lottery is divided into a first lottery flag value and a second lottery flag value. The specific value acquisition unit 520 acquires the specific value using the first lottery flag value, and the special processing unit 580 acquires the second lottery flag. The value is reflected in the pointer.

  If the specific value acquisition unit 520 reflects all the results of the lottery at a time to acquire the specific value, it is necessary to provide in advance specific values corresponding to all patterns of the lottery result of the winning lottery and the first stop operation. There is. In this way, there is no problem when the number of lottery results lottery results is small, but when the number of lottery results lottery results increases, the number of all lottery result patterns is distinct from the beginning. Therefore, it is necessary to set a specific value and to create a large number of patterns and to secure a storage capacity for storing them. Considering them, the processing by the specific value acquisition unit 520 is not easy.

  In the present invention, the lottery result of the role lottery is divided into a plurality of first lottery flag values and second lottery flag values, and is reflected in the specific value or the pointer so as to be held (stored) in the specific value acquisition unit 520 in advance. ) Can be suppressed, and the subsequent processing can be facilitated.

  The special processing means 580 in the present invention performs special processing that can change the pointer based on the pointer and the second lottery flag value. That is, until the middle, the same process is performed regardless of the difference in the contents of the second lottery flag value, and the difference in the contents of the second lottery flag value is reflected from the middle of the process. As described above, the process of reflecting the content of the second lottery flag value is not initially performed by the specific value acquisition unit 520, but is performed by the special processing unit 580 later. It is possible to carry out special processing (specifically, special processing 1, special processing 2, and special processing 3) according to the characteristics of the second lottery flag value corresponding to the lottery result of the role lottery when reflecting The processing according to the feature of the lottery result corresponding to the second lottery flag value becomes possible.

Therefore, it is possible to easily cope with variations in the number of patterns according to the combination of the first lottery flag value and the second lottery flag value for each model of the gaming machine 10.
As a result, when all the lottery results of the role lottery cannot be reflected in the specific value of the specific value acquisition means 520, there is no need for another data or program that is newly required to cover the shortage. Thus, necessary data and programs can be appropriately arranged, data can be compressed, and storage capacity can be saved.

Here, the “first lottery flag value” is a parameter (FPL) corresponding to a part of the part lottery result of the part lottery, and this “corresponds to a part of the part lottery result of the part lottery”. Includes mainly those corresponding to small roles.
Here, the “second lottery flag value” is a parameter (FPH) corresponding to a part lottery result of the part lottery different from the part, that is, different from the first lottery flag value. , Mainly those that correspond to features or things related to features.

  Here, the “stop table 440” specifically refers to, for example, the rotation reel 62 according to the symbol position (symbol number, stop operation position) of the rotation reel 62 when the stop switch 50 is stopped. Such information includes information on the stop position (for example, the number of sliding frames). Therefore, when the specific stop table 440 used for stop control is acquired, the stop position of the rotary reel 62 is determined by the symbol position (symbol number 0 to 19) of the rotary reel 62 when the stop switch 50 is stopped. Is confirmed.

  Here, “based on the pointer” is not limited to the case where the specific stop table 440 is simply determined based on the pointer. For example, the specific value is determined by the result of the lottery drawing and the rotating reel 62 that has been stopped, and the pointer is determined by the specific value and the symbol position of the rotating reel 62 when the stop switch 50 is stopped. Depending on the numerical value of the pointer, various decision branching processes are performed, a new specific value or pointer is determined again, and the same process is repeated until a single stop table 440 is specified, or Combinations of these are also included.

  Here, “determining the pointer from a predetermined number of numerical values” means selecting any one numerical value from a predetermined number of numerical values and using the selected numerical value as a pointer. This includes making decisions. Specifically, for example, the pointer is a two-digit hexadecimal number from “00” to “FF” (0 to 255 in decimal number), and one numerical value (for example, “1A”) (Decimal number 26) is selected, and “1A” is determined as a pointer.

Further, in the gaming machine 10 according to the present invention , the special processing means 580 further includes a plurality of types of change processing for changing the pointer, and based on the pointer determined by the pointer determination means 540, Any one of the plurality of types of change processing can be executed.

  The present invention has a plurality of types of change processing for changing the pointer, and executes any one of the plurality of types of change processing based on the pointer. For this reason, there can be a plurality of types having different contents of the changing process for changing the pointer, and the contents to be changed can be selected by the pointer. As a result, the contents of the pointer change process can be made to correspond to the appropriate one according to the characteristics of the original data, and the most efficient data compression and stop control process according to the data characteristics It is possible to select the content of the change process that maximizes the effect of.

In addition, the gaming machine 10 according to the present invention may further include the specific value, the second lottery flag value, and a predetermined fixed value in any one of the plurality of types of special processing in the special processing unit 580. Is added, and the numerical value after the addition is determined as a new specific value, and a new pointer is determined by the pointer determination means 540 based on the new specific value and the rotating reel 62 on which the stop operation has been performed. It is characterized by that.

In any one of the special processes in the special processing means 580, by directly adding the second lottery flag value to the specific value, the contents of the individual lottery results determined by each second lottery flag value are changed to the specific value. It can be directly reflected. Thereby, the difference of the lottery result corresponding to a 2nd lottery flag value can be reflected.
In addition, by adding a fixed value, even if the second lottery flag value is 0, the specific value can be changed, and the pointer can be changed by changing the specific value. . In such a case, the fixed value is more preferably a numerical value other than 0 (a positive integer, specifically, for example, “1”).

Further, in the gaming machine 10 according to the present invention , the specific value and the second lottery flag value are within a predetermined range in any one of the multiple types of the special processing in the special processing means 580. The determined value determined based on whether or not it is included and a predetermined fixed value are added, the numerical value after this addition is determined as a new specific value, and the new specific value and the stop operation are performed A new pointer is determined by the pointer determination means 540 based on the rotating reel 62.

  In the present invention, a determination value determined based on whether or not the second lottery flag value is included in a predetermined range is added to the specific value. Thereby, compared with the case where the second lottery flag value is directly added, the group indicated by the predetermined range of the second lottery flag value can be handled as one common data, and separately Rather than providing data, the data can be compressed and the storage capacity can be saved.

Here, the “determined value determined based on whether or not the second lottery flag value is included in a predetermined range” specifically refers to, for example, the type of the combination When the second lottery flag values are “01”, “02”, “03”, and “04” in order from RB1 to RB4, the determined value is set to “1”.
Further, the addition of the fixed value is the same as that described in the above-described invention , and it is possible to change the pointer even when the second lottery flag value is 0.

The gaming machine 10 according to the present invention further includes a basic value determined based on the pointer and the second lottery flag in any one of the plurality of types of special processing in the special processing means 580. A partial value determined by a part of the value is added, and a numerical value after the addition is determined as a new pointer.

In the present invention, the basic value determined based on the pointer and the partial value determined by a part of the second lottery flag value are added, and the value after this addition is determined as a new pointer.
Since a part of the second lottery flag value is used instead of the whole, even if it is the same second lottery flag value, a part of the second lottery flag value is collected from a different part. A plurality of types of data can be collected from one second lottery flag value data. As a result, the data can be compressed and the storage capacity can be saved rather than having the data of the respective second lottery flag values individually.

  Here, the “partial value determined by a part of the second lottery flag value” means, for example, that the second lottery flag value is converted from a 2-digit hexadecimal notation to an 8-digit binary notation, and 2 Among the numerical values in decimal notation, those including a numerical value of a predetermined digit determined by the pointer as a partial value are included. Specifically, for example, in order to set the stop table 440 for the left rotating reel 64, a second lottery flag value (for example, 68 (hexadecimal number)) consisting of a 2-digit hexadecimal number is set to a binary number. It is converted to an 8-digit number (1101000 (binary number), 11abcdef in terms of a symbol to be described later), and the second-digit number “e” and the first-digit number from the right in the 8-digit number. A binary two-digit numerical value “ef” consisting of “f” = “00” (in decimal notation, ((e × 2 raised to the first power) + (f × 2 raised to the zero raised power)) is used as the partial value. Something to be determined is included.

  Further, for example, in order to set the stop table 440 for the intermediate rotation reel 66, a second lottery flag value (for example, 68 (hexadecimal number)) composed of a 2-digit hexadecimal number is set to an 8-digit binary number. Convert to a numerical value (1101000 (binary number)), and the binary digit consisting of the numerical value “c” in the fourth digit from the right and the numerical value “d” in the third digit from the right in the 8-digit numerical value. A numerical value “cd” = “10” (in decimal notation, ((c × 2 raised to the 1st power) + (d × 2 raised to the 0th power)) is determined as the partial value.

  Further, for example, in order to set the stop table 440 for the right rotation reel 68, a second lottery flag value (for example, 68 (hexadecimal number)) consisting of a 2-digit hexadecimal number is set to an 8-digit binary number. Converted to a numerical value (1101000 (binary number)), the binary digit consisting of the numerical value “a” in the sixth digit from the right and the numerical value “b” in the fifth digit from the right in the 8-digit numerical value. The numerical value “ab” = “10” (in decimal notation, ((a × 2 raised to the first power) + (b × 2 raised to the zero raised power)) is determined as the partial value.

Since this invention is comprised as mentioned above, there exists an effect as described below.
According to the present invention, according to the type of the winning combination, there is no need for all the stop table patterns corresponding to the stop operation sequence for each rotating reel, so that the stop table for all patterns is provided. The total number of stop tables can be reduced and the number of stop tables can be reduced, and the data capacity can be reduced.

  Further, according to the present invention, a single stop table is finally selected through the specific value and the pointer. Compared with stop control that uses many parameters and goes through many steps, the use of parameters such as specific values and pointers can improve the efficiency of stop control processing.

According to the present invention, the specific value acquisition means does not acquire the specific value by reflecting all of the result of the lottery at a time. For this reason, all the patterns of the lottery result of the winning lottery and the first stop operation There is no need to provide a corresponding specific value in advance, and even if the number of lottery result lottery results increases, it is not necessary to allocate a specific value from the beginning for all the lottery result pattern numbers. . Thereby, it is not necessary to secure a storage capacity for creating and storing a large number of patterns of data at a time, and the processing by the specific value acquisition means can be facilitated.
The lottery result of the role lottery can be reflected in a plurality of stages using a pointer in the middle, and it is possible to cope with an increase in the number of patterns of the lottery result of the role lottery depending on the model.

Further, according to the present invention, it is possible to have a plurality of types having different contents of the change processing for changing the pointer, and it is possible to select which content change processing is to be performed by the pointer. As a result, the contents of the pointer change processing can be made to correspond to an appropriate one according to the data characteristics, and the most effective data compression and stop control processing efficiency can be achieved according to the data characteristics. It is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of selecting the content of the change process that maximizes the value.

According to the present invention, furthermore, directly reflects the second drawing flag value by directly adding the contents of the individual lottery result being determined by the second drawing flag value for a particular value to a specific value It is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of reflecting the content of the second lottery flag value, which is a part of the lottery result of the role lottery in the middle of the process, to the stop control.

According to the present invention, furthermore, it can be handled as one data in common a group represented by a predetermined prescribed range of the second drawing flag value, than each separately provided data, to compress the data A gaming machine capable of saving storage capacity can be provided.

According to the present invention, it is further possible to collect a plurality of types of data from the data of one second lottery flag value, and to compress the data rather than having each data individually, A gaming machine capable of saving the storage capacity can be provided.

  The gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment enables a game to be started by inserting a predetermined number of medals by operating the max bet switch 34 or inserting medals. Then, when the start switch 40 is pressed, the rotation of the rotary reel 62 is started to start the game, and a lottery is performed using a lottery table corresponding to each state of the main controller 110 described later. Then, based on the operation timing of the stop switch 50 corresponding to each rotary reel 62 and the result of the winning lottery, the gaming machine 10 stops the rotation of the rotating reel 62 so as to match the result of the winning lottery. The gaming machine 10 determines whether the combination of symbols 61 constituting the winning combination is a predetermined effective line (when the combination of symbols 61 of a predetermined combination is aligned on the line, depending on the combination of symbols 61 at the time of stoppage. This is a line to which the profit is awarded, and is hereinafter referred to as the active line 86.) When the player stops on the line, the player is given a predetermined profit such as winning a prize and paying out a predetermined number of medals. . As a result, one game is completed.

“Effective line 86” means a line that will be won when the winning combination is lined up on the line, and “Pocket” for a small role, which will be described later, is a combination of symbols 61 corresponding to the role on the effective line 86. Means that The effective line 86 of the present embodiment is composed of only one reverse V-shaped broken line connecting the lower stage of the left rotating reel 64, the upper stage of the middle rotating reel 66, and the lower stage of the right rotating reel 68. .

In the present embodiment, although not shown in particular, the combination a, combination b, combination c,...

  Four symbols (red 7 (R7), cherry (CH), blue 7 (B7), white) that constitute a combination of symbols 61 that can be transferred to a single bonus (SB1 to SB64) as a special bonus (a bonus) to be described later 7 (W7)) on the reel symbol arrangement, symbol numbers 2 (R7, R7, R7), 7 (CH, CH, CH), 12 (B7, B7, B7), 17 (W7, W7, W7) In addition, each rotating reel 62 is regularly arranged every five symbols. In addition, the symbol interval of the symbol 61 that can be transferred to SB1 to SB64 as the special role (legal item) is not limited to five symbols, and may be arranged for every five symbols or more. You may arrange | position in the space | interval less than a design. Furthermore, in those cases, it is preferable that all the symbol intervals can be arranged uniformly such as four symbol intervals or ten symbol intervals.

In the present embodiment, the table (so-called symbol arrangement table) itself shown in FIG. 2 is not stored as data as it is, but a winning determination is made using such a symbol arrangement table. No, this point will be explained later.
These designs 61 are formed by sticking a tape on which each design is printed on the outer peripheral surface of the rotary reel 62. Note that the number (frame number) of the symbol 61 in FIG. 2 is not a physical number attached to the outer peripheral surface of the rotary reel 62, but is a virtual number for controlling the stop of each symbol 61. This is for specifying a specific symbol 61 in the program.

  As shown in FIG. 3, a control device 100 for controlling the overall operation of the gaming machine 10 is formed inside the gaming machine 10. This control device 100 receives the information (command) from the main control device 110 that controls the state by advancing the game, and controls the effects according to the progress of the game. A sub-control device 300 that controls each state of the effect is provided in order to perform an effect of notifying the player of information related to game content.

  The main control device 110 and the sub control device 300 are connected by one-way communication from the main control device 110 to the sub control device 300 in order to prevent unauthorized operation of the main control device 110. Communication in the reverse direction from the control device 300 to the main control device 110 is not performed (that is, not bidirectional communication). The main controller 110 receives inputs from the start switch 40, the stop switch 50, the max bet switch 34, and the checkout switch 36, performs a lottery drawing, and controls the operations of the reel unit 60 and the storage / dispensing means 24. The sub control device 300 receives a signal from the main control device 110 and controls the operation of the notification means 70 such as the display device 84. On the output side of the sub-control device 300, the display device 84, the speaker 72, and the effect lamp 78 as the notification means 70 are connected.

  Although not particularly illustrated, the main board having the main control device 110 and the sub board having the sub control device 300 are housed in dedicated board cases, respectively. Specifically, the main control device 110 is housed in the main board case, and the sub control device 300 is housed in the sub board case. The main board case is fixed to the upper part inside the housing 12 and the sub board case is fixed to the left side from the front inside the housing 12.

  The main control device 110 and the sub control device 300 are configured by a microcomputer including a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and an I / O port (not shown). The CPU has an interrupt function such as a timer interrupt, and executes various programs by executing a program stored in the ROM. The ROM stores programs executed by the CPU and fixed data such as various tables, and the RAM stores a temporary storage area when the CPU executes the programs, for example, the state of the gaming machine 10 It is used as a storage area for storing the area and the lottery result of the role lottery.

In the main control device 110 of the gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, a normal state that is normally performed is provided. The main control device 110 is provided with a replay time (RT) state in which the probability of winning the re-game combination (replay combination) is set higher (or lower) than the normal state. This RT state is controlled by the main controller 110.
In the sub-control device 300, an assist time (AT) for assisting to stop the combination of the symbols 61 related to the combination on the effective line 86 by notifying the stop operation sequence of the stop switch 50, the winning symbol 61, etc. A state is provided. This AT state is mainly controlled by the sub-control device 300.

Of course, the devices for controlling each state (main control device 110, sub-control device 300) are not limited to those described above, and each state may be controlled by the other control device, A part of the means may be partially controlled by another control device and may be controlled across both control devices. At this time, direct transmission from the sub-control device 300 to the main control device 110 is not performed, but the main control is performed by notifying the predetermined stop operation order from the sub-control device 300 and stopping the player. Information can be transmitted indirectly to the device 110.
The assist time (AT) state is formed so as to be in a special state that is more likely to give a benefit that is beneficial to the player than in the normal state (non-assist time state).

  In the gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to shift by winning the normal state which is a normal state and a lottery (transition lottery) on whether or not to shift in the normal state, and more than the normal state And an assist time state (AT state) as a special state in which a special privilege can be granted.

  The AT state as a special state can be started when a predetermined start condition is achieved, and can be ended when a predetermined end condition is achieved. Specifically, the AT state as a special state can be shifted when a lottery result of a combination lottery, a predetermined transition combination is won, or when a predetermined transition lottery is won by the transition lottery means 330 described later. . In the AT state, the number of medals that the player has acquired (paid to the player) during the AT is set to a predetermined number of games (the so-called acquisition specified number, specifically 120). Of course, the number is not limited to this number.

  The AT state as a special state can be executed until the number of medals acquired (paid out) by the player when it is executed according to the result of the predetermined transfer lottery reaches the specified number of acquisitions. The possible acquisition specified number is set so that it can be added by a predetermined lottery. When determining this addition, it is possible to execute an effect when adding to the specified number of acquisitions in the special state, a so-called additional effect, and as this additional effect, a reel effect using the rotary reel 62 and a display device 84. Both the display effect using and are formed to be executable.

  In addition, it is not limited to these start conditions and end conditions. Instead of the number of payouts, the actual number calculated by subtracting the number of inserted medals from the number of paid out medals instead of the number of payouts. You may set with the net increase number which is the number of acquisition of medals. In addition, the number of games executed during AT may be set to other conditions such as reaching a predetermined number of games (so-called initial number of games or maximum number of games). . That is, the number of games during AT may be ended by executing a predetermined number of games (so-called initial number of games or maximum number of games). These conditions may be a combination of the number of games and the number of acquired medals (or a net increase).

  In the addition, the number of medals to be added to the specified acquisition number (or net increase) is set. Of course, regarding this addition, the number of games that can be executed may be added instead of the number of acquired medals (net increase) as described above, and the number of games and the number of acquired medals (or net increase) May be combined.

  The reel effect is an effect using the rotating reel 62, and the three rotating reels 62 are rotated and stopped, the rotation direction is changed, the rotation speed is changed, the rotation acceleration is changed, and the predetermined symbol 61 is rotated. This can be done by various means. The display effect is an effect performed by a moving image or a still image displayed on the display device 84 which is the liquid crystal display device 84. Note that sound, music, sound effects, and the like from the speaker 72 are appropriately performed along with the display effect.

The AT state as a special state is shifted to the normal state during the AT that can be started repeatedly when the start condition of the AT state is achieved, and the normal state during the AT. States are provided (see FIG. 6).
The normal state during the AT is started with the start of the AT state, and the additional effect (addition game) can be executed in the additional effect state during the AT.

  The main control device 110 includes a combination lottery means 120, a reel control means 130 (start control means 135, stop control means 140), a normal state control means 160, an RT control means 170, a bonus control means 180, a freeze effect control means 230, and an add-on. Each unit includes an effect determination execution means 390, a special state determination means 200, an acquisition specified number counting means 210, a reel effect execution means 245, a payout control means 250, a transition lottery means 330, and a transmission means 260. Details of each means will be described later.

It should be noted that these means, in particular, the special state determining means 200, the acquired prescribed number counting means 210, the transfer lottery means 330, and the like may be included in the sub control device 300 instead of the main control device 110. At that time, since direct transmission of data from the sub-control device 300 to the main control device 110 is not performed, the order of the stop operation by the stop switch 50 is performed by the sub-control device 300 when such transmission is necessary. Is notified to the player by the notification means 70, and the information from the sub-control device 300 is transmitted to the main control device 110 through indirect transmission means such as the player performing stop operation in the stop operation order. The
Further, the arrangement (distribution, separation) of each means with respect to the main control device 110 and the sub control device 300 is not limited to the above-described ones, and various arrangements (distribution, separation) can be made. For example, the reel unit 60 and the storage / dispensing means 24 are also controlled by the sub-control device 300, and the main control device 110 leaves only the part for performing the random number extraction process of the role lottery means 120 or the role lottery, It is possible to arrange all the means in the sub-control device 300.
With the above configuration, the main control device 110 functions as means for performing a lottery of a combination, controlling rotation and stop of the rotary reel 62, and progressing the game.

The main control device 110 is mainly for controlling the game, and is mainly for making the game progress. Hereinafter, the game in the present embodiment will be described.
When the specified number of bets (three) is set, one active line 86 (see FIG. 1) is set. In the gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, 3 is set as the prescribed bet number. As a method for setting the bet number, there are a method for inserting a medal from the medal insertion slot 38 and a method for setting a credit medal as the bet number by operating the max bet switch 34. Then, if the start switch 40 is operated on condition that the specified number of bets (3) is set, the number of bets is confirmed and either of a plurality of winning combinations is won by the winning lottery means 120 or A lottery lottery (role drawing) is performed. At almost the same time as the winning lottery, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time (4.1 seconds in this embodiment) has elapsed since the start of rotation of the rotary reel 62 in the previous game. When (4.1 seconds) elapses, the rotation of all three rotary reels 62 starts. In the present embodiment, the prescribed number is set to 2 only during a bonus game (RBB) described later.

In the present embodiment, when a role is roughly classified, a small role (a role accompanied by paying out medals), a re-playing role (a role that can start the next game without using a medal owned by the player, so-called replay) Role) and a transitional role (a role accompanied by a transition of the state of the game or production).
After the rotation of the rotary reel 62 is started, a predetermined condition (in this embodiment, a process of accelerating the rotary reel 62 is executed, and then a predetermined sensor detects that the rotational position of the rotary reel 62 is the reference position. Is established, the stop switch 50 can be operated (stop operation enabled state).
Thereafter, when one of the three stop switches 50 is operated, the rotation of the rotary reel 62 corresponding to the stop switch 50 is stopped. When all the three stop switches 50 have been operated, the rotation of all three rotary reels 62 is stopped.

  In the present embodiment, processing of a predetermined payout number described later is performed based on a specific value (CW) described later by stop control. Based on a specific value (CW), which will be described later, the gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment will eventually give a profit to the player when a predetermined combination of symbols 61 is arranged on the active line 86. It is formed so that. For example, when the combinations of symbols 61 corresponding to the small combination are arranged on the active line 86, the number of medals corresponding to the small combination is awarded to the player.

  In the gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, as a state of the main control device 110, a normal state that is normally (generally) performed, and in this normal state, a bonus (RBB) is won by a role lottery of the role lottery means 120. If the symbol 61 related to the bonus transition combination does not stop on the active line 86 in spite of the fact, the internal winning state that shifts from the normal state (specifically, the RBB winning state and the RT1 state) In this internal winning state (RBB winning state, RT1 state), the game proceeds when the bonus transition symbol 61 stops on the active line 86, and the profit given to the player is greater than in the normal state. A possible bonus state (RBB state) and a SB (single bonus) state as a special role (specifically, an accessory) that can be transferred as a result of the role lottery from the normal state are provided (see FIG. 5).

In the present embodiment, SB (single bonus) is provided as a plurality of special combinations (combinations) that can be won according to the result of the combination lottery. Specifically, 64 different types of SB (single bonus) from SB1 to SB64 are provided.
A combination of symbols 61 that can be transferred corresponding to SB1 to SB64 (for example, SB1 indicates that the combination of symbols on the effective line 86 of the left rotating reel 64, the middle rotating reel 66, and the right rotating reel 68 is “red 7 (R7)”. , Red 7 (R7), red 7 (R7) ”) are aligned on the active line 86, and only one game is started from the next game of the aligned games. The symbols 64 constituting the combination of symbols 61 that can be transferred to SB1 to SB64 are composed of four types of red 7 (R7), cherry (CH), blue 7 (B7), and white 7 (W7). The combinations of symbols 61 that can be transferred from SB1 to SB64 are regularly arranged on each rotary reel 62. Specifically, the combinations of symbols 62 that can be transferred to SB1, SB2,... Are special roles (the symbol 61 of the left rotating reel 64, the symbol 61 of the middle rotating reel 66, the symbol 61 of the right rotating reel 68). In the form of, using the above four types of symbols in order, SB1 (R7, R7, R7), SB2 (R7, R7, CH), SB3 (R7, R7, B7), SB4 (R7, R7, W7) ), SB5 (R7, CH, R7),... SB64 (W7, W7, W7). Of course, the combination of the symbols 62 is not limited to this, and other combinations may be used.

  In the bonus state, a bonus transition combination as a transition combination is won, and a combination of symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus transition combination (for example, “cherry (CH), watermelon (WM), cherry (CH)”) is an effective line 86. When the game is aligned, the game starts from the next game of the aligned game.

  In addition, even if the combination of symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus transitional combination is not prepared on the active line 86 in the game at the time of winning, the bonus transitional combination will correspond to the bonus transitional combination on the effective line 86 after the next game. The state in which the bonus transition combination is won is valid until 61 combinations are complete (SB is not valid). Other combinations (including SB) become invalid after the next game if the combination of symbols 61 corresponding to the combination is not available on the active line 86 in the game at the time of winning. The bonus state ends when the total number of medals paid out to the player during the bonus state exceeds a preset number (specifically, for example, 26).

In the present embodiment, as a bonus state, a big bonus state (RBB state) controlled mainly by main controller 110 is provided. The big bonus state facilitates winning of a small role by making the lottery probability of all small roles higher than the normal state. The big bonus state according to the present embodiment ends with a payout number exceeding 26. Of course, this end condition is not limited to 26 sheets, and other sheets may be used.
In addition, when the combination of symbols 61 corresponding to the re-playing role (replaying role) is arranged on the active line 86, the medal is not paid out, but the bet number is automatically used in the next game without using the medal owned by the player. Can be set and played.

  The role lottery means 120 is a means provided in the main control device 110, and is for performing a lottery (role lottery) of winning or losing a plurality of roles in response to an operation of the start switch 40. . The role lottery means 120 uses a lottery table for determining whether or not a winning combination has been won as a main classification for a normal state, for a bonus state (RBB state), for an internal winning state (RBB winning state), SB A plurality of devices are provided for each of the devices, and are stored in the ROM of the main controller 110. The role lottery means 120 compares a predetermined lottery data with a random number extracted from random numbers generated by a predetermined random number generator (random number generator circuit) having a loop counter that repeatedly counts integer values within a predetermined range. Then, it is determined whether or not it is won. The process by the combination lottery means 120 is performed in step 113 (see FIG. 18) described later.

  The lottery probability used for the role lottery of the role lottery means 120 is formed to be changeable by the manager of the game hall within a preprogrammed range. Specifically, a plurality of setting values (specifically, by operating a setting change switch (not shown) in the housing 12 for changing a setting value that is a value for defining the lottery probability) Can change the lottery probability by selecting any one of 1 to 6). In the present embodiment, six set values 1 to 6 are provided, and the lottery probability is defined to be advantageous to the player in principle as the set value increases.

  A first lottery flag value (FPL) corresponding to the lottery result of the small role or the like is provided as a parameter corresponding to a part of the lottery result of the role lottery. Specifically, the first lottery flag value (FPL) is a 1-digit or 2-digit hexadecimal number (00, 01, 02...) Corresponding to a lottery result such as replay, bell, watermelon, cherry, or lose. Etc.). A second lottery flag value (FPH) corresponding to a lottery result of an accessory etc. is provided as a parameter corresponding to a part different from the part of the result lottery result (first lottery flag value). The second lottery flag value (FPH) is composed of a 1-digit or 2-digit hexadecimal value corresponding to a lottery result such as a bonus (RBB) or a single bonus (SB).

In addition, the numerical value of the 1-digit or 2-digit hexadecimal number in the specific value (CW), the first lottery flag value (FPL), and the second lottery flag value (FPH) is specifically, 00 to FF. In this case, 0, 1, 2,..., 9 which is a single digit is also expressed as 00, 01, 02,. It is handled as a numeric value.
In addition, the winning combination is a winning combination in which the winning combination corresponding to the first lottery flag value (FPL) and the winning combination corresponding to the second lottery flag value (FPH) can be won, and the first lottery A combination corresponding to the flag value (FPL) and a combination corresponding to the second lottery flag value (FPH) are provided as independent winning combinations that can be won independently.

  The reel control means 130 is a means provided in the main control device 110, and a start control means 135 for starting the rotation of each rotary reel 62 and a stop control for performing a stop control for stopping the rotation of each rotary reel 62. Means 140. Of the reel control means 130 (start control means 135 and stop control means 140), the stop control means 140 will be described in detail later.

  The normal state control means 160 controls the progress of the normal state. Here, the normal state in the main control device 110 means a state other than a replay time (RT) by an RT control unit 170 described later and an RBB by a bonus control unit 180. In addition, the winning probability of the re-gamer in the normal state is set lower than the replay time (RT) in the internal winning state (RBB winning state, RT1 state).

In the present embodiment, the RT control means 170 controls the replay time (RT) state.
The bonus control means 180 controls a bonus game, specifically, an RBB state.
The freeze effect control means 230 is for executing a freeze effect that temporarily stops the progress of the game. Specifically, when it is determined that the transition lottery of the transition lottery means 330 is won, the freeze effect control means 230 executes the freeze effect. Note that during the freeze effect, the reel effect execution means 245 may execute a spinning effect that combines rotation, stop, reverse rotation, and the like of the rotary reel 62.

In the normal state during the AT in the special state (AT), the additional effect determination execution means 390 is performed according to a predetermined trigger (specifically, an operation timing of the start switch 40 in each game in the normal state during the AT). A determination is made by lottery as to whether or not to shift to the extra stage production state during AT (so-called extra game).
The extra effect determination execution means 390 is a predetermined trigger in the extra game in which the extra effect is executed during the AT (specifically, the trigger of the operation timing of the start switch 40 in each game during the extra game, Depending on the result of the lottery during the game, it may be triggered by a pre-determined predetermined role), whether the special state (AT) is added or not, and the specified number of medals to be added in the special state (the extra game) It is decided by acquisition lottery).

The special state determining means 200 is used for determining the end of the game section in the special state.
Specifically, the special state determination means 200 is a game in a special state on condition that the predetermined number of medals counted by the predetermined number-of-acquisition counting means 210 described later has reached a predetermined medal number (specifically, 0). End the section.
Note that when a winning lottery of the transferring lottery means 330 described later is won, the special state determining means 200 sets the maximum number of medals that can be acquired during the special state (AT) (initial acquisition specified number).
The acquisition specified number counting means 210 is for counting the acquired specified number by subtraction (or addition) during a special game section.

In the present embodiment, although not shown in particular, the prescribed acquisition number counting means 210 counts and stores the initially prescribed prescribed number (120) that is initially set as the number of medals that can be obtained as a special state. Both the counting means and the counting means for counting and storing the number of acquired special states (additional acquisition specified number) obtained by the addition game are added.
Although not shown in particular, each acquired specified number counting means 210 has a calculation means for subtracting the payout number from the acquired specified number every time a medal is paid out, and a memory for storing a numerical value calculated by this calculating means. Means.

Further, the acquisition specified number counting means 210 may count and store the total acquisition specified number obtained by adding up both the above-described initial acquisition specified number and the additional acquisition specified number.
In addition, the initial acquisition specified number is set in advance to 120, but is not particularly limited to this, and may be less than 120 or more than 120. In addition, the specified number of initial acquisitions may be determined each time by lottery using random numbers.
In addition, the acquisition specified number counting means 210 is not limited to the one that subtracts the number of payouts from the initial acquisition specified number as described above, and every time a medal is paid out to the player, The special state determination means 200 may determine that the special state is terminated when the predetermined number of acquisitions is reached by adding the payout number.

The acquisition specified number counting means 210 counts the number of payouts acquired during the extra game when the extra game is entered during the game section in the special state, but is not particularly limited to this, The payout may not be counted.
The special state determination means 200 determines the end of the game section in the special state on condition that the predetermined acquisition number counted by the acquisition predetermined number counting means 210 has reached a predetermined number (specifically, 0 times).

  That is, the number of sheets counted during the game section in the special state by the acquisition prescribed number counting means 210 is a direct parameter for determining the end of the AT game section in the special state. The special state determining means 200 determines whether or not to determine the end of the game section in the special state depending on whether or not the number of acquired medals has reached the maximum number of medals that can be acquired in the special state.

  Note that, as described above, the number of medals acquired (specified number of acquisitions) is used as a parameter for determining a game section in a special state, but the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto. Other parameters may be used as long as they can be parameters that ultimately determine a game section in a special state (influence the length of the game section (which affects and limits the length)). Specifically, the number of direct games may be used as the parameter. The maximum number of games that can be executed during the AT as a special state (so-called maximum number of games) is determined, and the AT as a special state is that the number of games executed during the AT reaches the maximum number of games. (In this case, the number of games is added, but in the case of subtraction, the number of games executed is subtracted from the maximum number of games, and the value after the subtraction is obtained. May end when the number reaches 0). In addition, other direct or indirect parameters that can determine (limit) the final game section, or a combination of these parameters may be used.

  The reel effect execution means 245 is for executing the reel effect as an additional effect by the rotating reel 62 that is operating as the notification means 70 in the freeze state. This reel effect execution means 245 executes the reel effect of the extra effect.

The payout control means 250 is for performing predetermined processing such as medal payout. The payout control means 250 pays out medals of the payout number determined based on a value such as a specific value (CW) or a specified number (2 or 3) described later.
The transfer lottery means 330 performs a transfer lottery during non-AT using a predetermined transfer lottery probability, and determines whether or not to shift to the AT state as a special state by lottery (transfer lottery). It is. Specifically, the transfer lottery means 330 is set to perform a transfer lottery in each game during non-AT. Of course, the trigger for carrying out the transfer lottery is not limited to this, but other predetermined triggers (for example, the timing at which a predetermined state starts or ends, or the timing at which a predetermined number of games have elapsed from a predetermined trigger) , When a predetermined role is won, etc.).

The transmission means 260 is for transmitting a signal to the sub-control device 300.
The sub-control device 300 includes a receiving unit 310 and an AT control unit 320.
The receiving unit 310 receives a signal from the transmitting unit 260.
The AT control means 320 controls the effect in the AT state. Specifically, the AT control means 320 includes a display effect execution means 370.
The display effect executing means 370 is for executing a display effect performed by the display device 84.

Note that these means may be arranged in the main control device 110, and the display effect execution means 370 may be arranged in the main control device 110 instead of the sub control device 300.
With the above configuration, the sub control device 300 receives a signal from the main control device 110 and performs an effect accompanying the progress of the game.

As shown in FIG. 4, the reel control means 130 rotates according to the start control means 135 for starting the rotation of the rotary reel 62, the result of the role lottery of the role lottery means 120 and the stop operation timing of the stop switch 50. Stop control means 140 that performs stop control of the reel 62 is provided.
The start control means 135 is set so as to start the rotation of the all-revolution reel 62 by the operation of the start switch 40 by the player and maintain the rotation speed in a state where a predetermined rotation speed is reached in advance. Yes.

  The stop control means 140 is based on the lottery result of the combination lottery means 120 and the rotation position (stop operation timing of the stop switch 50) of the corresponding rotation reel 62 when each stop switch 50 is operated. Stop rotation of 62. Note that the stop control means 140 may set a condition for stopping whether or not the order (stop operation order) when each stop switch 50 is stopped is matched with a predetermined condition as necessary. The processing by the stop control means 140 is performed in step 114 (see FIG. 18) and FIGS.

  The stop control means 140 is information about the stop position of the rotary reel 62 according to the symbol position of the rotary reel 62 when the stop switch 50 is stopped (specifically, the operation position based on the symbol number (frame number)) (specifically, Stop table storage means 400 that stores a plurality of stop tables 440 that have determined the number of sliding frames), table selection means 500 that selects a single stop table 440 to be used from the plurality of stop tables 440, and table selection Reel stop processing means 600 for stopping the rotating reel 62 using a single stop table 440 selected by the means 500 is provided.

  The stop table storage unit 400 includes a plurality of stop tables 440 (specifically, “00”, “01”, “02”,..., Etc., refer to FIG. 11 as a single stop table 440). The stop data table 420 is stored (see FIG. 11). Each stop table 440 includes a symbol number of the rotary reel 62 when the stop switch 50 is stopped, and the number of sliding symbols from the middle stage of each rotary reel 62 (specifically, 0, 1, 2, 3). Etc.) are stored (see FIG. 11).

The table selection means 500 acquires a specific value (specifically, a control word (CW)) corresponding to the result of the winning lottery and the rotating reel 62 where the stop operation has been performed, and uses this specific value (CW). Based on this, finally, a single stop table 440 is selected.
The table selection unit 500 includes a specific value acquisition unit 520 that acquires a specific value (CW) corresponding to the result of the lottery drawing and the rotary reel 62 on which the first stop operation (first stop operation) is performed. Pointer determination means 540 for determining a predetermined pointer based on the specific value (CW) and the rotating reel 62 on which the stop operation has been performed, the second lottery flag value (FPH) that is a part of the pointer and the part lottery result A special processing means 580 capable of executing the processing for changing the pointer (special processing) based on the above, a branch processing determining means 560 for performing a branch processing for determining a specific processing from a plurality of processing based on the parameters, Specific value transition determination means 680 for performing a specific value transition determination process described later, specific value change selection means 620 for performing a specific value change selection process described later, and a process selected by the specific value change selection means 620 Run Specific value change execution means 640 is provided.

The specific value acquisition means 520 corresponds to the result of the winning lottery and the rotating reel 62 (the left rotating reel 64, the middle rotating reel 66, the right rotating reel 68) on which the first stop operation is performed. A specific value acquisition table storing specific values (CW) to be stored (see FIG. 7).
Here, “the result of the lottery” means the first lottery flag value (FPL) as a flag pointer corresponding to the lottery result of a small role or the like (replay, bell, watermelon, cherry, lose, etc.). According to the lottery result of the role lottery, the first lottery flag value (FPL) is a hexadecimal one-digit or two-digit numerical value (00, 01) corresponding to the lottery result such as replay, bell, watermelon, cherry, and lose. , 02... Etc.).
Using this specific value acquisition table, the specific value acquisition means 520 uses a lottery result (first lottery flag value) of the combination lottery and a predetermined number of numerical values based on the rotating reel 62 of the first stop operation. The specific value (CW) acquired from (1) is acquired (see FIG. 7).

  Here, “determining the pointer from a predetermined number of numerical values” means selecting any one numerical value from a predetermined number of numerical values and determining the selected numerical value as a pointer. ing. Specifically, the pointer is a two-digit hexadecimal number from “00” to “FF” (0 to 255 in decimal number), and one numerical value (for example, “50”) is selected from these numbers. The selected “50” is acquired as a specific value. The “predetermined number” in this case is 16 × 16 = 256 (decimal number), and one numerical value is determined as a pointer from 256 numerical values. This is because, when using an 8-bit CPU, a 2-digit hexadecimal number that is easy to handle 8-bit numbers (2 to the 8th power = 256 = 16 × 16) is most convenient for reducing the storage capacity. doing. Of course, the “predetermined number” is not limited to this, and may be set to a part of the 256 ranges described above, and is set to a value exceeding the above-described numerical value 256. It may be.

  Here, as described above, “the lottery result of the role lottery” is the first lottery flag value related to the small role in the lottery result of the role lottery, but is not necessarily limited thereto. . Specifically, as the “lottery result of part lottery” in the specific value acquisition means 520, the first lottery flag value related to the small part in the lottery result of the part lottery, It is also possible to include both the second lottery flag value (FPH), which is a flag pointer related to SB (single bonus), RBB (big bonus), etc.). In this way, the specific value acquisition means 520 specifies the specific value (CW) by all the lottery results of the role lottery and the first stop operation. This is suitable when the number of winning items is small and the type of the second lottery flag value (FPH) is small, and the specific value acquisition means 520 does not provide special processing to be described later, and the lottery result of the winning lottery. It is possible to reflect all of these at once. In this case, the left column in FIG. 7 is not only FPL but also a combination of two columns of FPH and FPL, and the special processing in step 511 in FIG.

  In the present embodiment, the specific value (CW) is displayed as 74, 87, 8B, 8C,... In FIG. Of course, the specific value (CW) is not limited to these hexadecimal numerical values, and may be other numerical values or symbols as long as they are numerical values or symbols arranged in a predetermined order. is there.

  The pointer determination unit 540 is based on the specific value (CW) acquired by the specific value acquisition unit 520 and the rotating reel 62 (left rotating reel 64, middle rotating reel 66, right rotating reel 68) on which the stop operation has been performed. The pointer determination table 542 (FIG. 8) stores pointers within a predetermined number range (hexadecimal numbers “00” to “FF”). The pointer determination unit 540 uses the pointer determination table 542 to specify the specific value (CW) acquired by the specific value acquisition unit 520 and the rotating reel 62 (left rotating reel 64, middle rotating reel 66) on which the stop operation has been performed. The pointer is determined from a predetermined numerical value range (hexadecimal numerical values “00” to “FF”) based on the right rotating reel 68) (see FIG. 8). Similarly to the specific value, this pointer is determined from “a predetermined number of numerical values”. Of course, the “predetermined number” is not limited to that described above, and may be a number that is equal to or less than the predetermined number and that exceeds the predetermined number. The “predetermined number” is not limited to being the same, and may be set to different values.

In the present embodiment, this pointer is also formed by a numerical value consisting of hexadecimal numbers. Of course, the pointer is not limited to these hexadecimal numerical values, but other numerical values or symbols. Is also good.
The pointers determined by the pointer determination means 540 are classified into four categories according to their numerical ranges as major classifications. Specifically, the pointer includes a stop table pointer (BTRP) whose numerical value (hexadecimal) range is 00 to 0F (00 or more and 0F or less), and its numerical range is 10 to 4F (10 or more and 4F or less). A transition determination pointer (BTRG), a specific pointer whose numerical range is 50 to EF (50 or more and EF or less) (this specific pointer is finally set as a new specific value CW), It is classified into four special processing pointers whose numerical ranges are F0 to FF (F0 or more and FF or less) (see FIG. 12).
The specific pointer and the special processing pointer are classified into a plurality of ranges with the above-described range being further classified, and the contents thereof will be described in detail later.
In addition to the pointer determination table 542 shown in FIG. 8, the pointer determination means has a plurality of pointer determination tables 542 (pointer determination tables 1, 2, 3) used in a table switching process of a specific value changing process described later. This will be described later in the specific value changing process.

The special processing means 580 is for executing processing that can change the pointer (special processing) based on the pointer and the second lottery flag value (FPH).
The special processing unit 580 has a plurality of types of change processing for changing the pointer, and can execute any one of the plurality of types of change processing based on the pointer determined by the pointer determination unit 540. Specifically, the special processing means 580 has three change processes, special process 1, special process 2, and special process 3, in order to change the pointer.

In the special processing 1 in the special processing means 580, the specific value (CW), the second lottery flag value (FPH), and a predetermined fixed value are added, and the value after this addition is determined as a new specific value (CW). Is done. In the stop control, the first lottery flag value related to the small role or the like that is a part of the lottery result of the role lottery is initially set by the specific value acquisition unit 520 without reflecting all the lottery results of the role lottery at once. Only the (FPL) is reflected, and then, the special processing means 580 changes the result of the second lottery flag value (FPH) corresponding to the winning corresponding to the remaining lottery result of the winning lottery to the specific value (CW). It is reflected. At the processing stage of the specific value acquisition means 520, only the first lottery flag value (FPL) is reflected, so regardless of the difference between the single win and the double win, it will be a single win or a double win. Performs the same control to determine the common value (CW) common to both, and then reflects the contents of the second lottery flag value (FPH) to the specific value (CW) and the pointer at the processing stage of the special processing means 580. Thus, the difference between the single winning and the overlapping winning is reflected in the specific value (CW) and the pointer, and the contents of the bonus and other features are referred to in the middle of the control. More specifically, the special process 1 is suitable (effective) when a so-called rare combination that is rarely won because the lottery probability is set low and a combination such as a bonus is repeatedly won.
Here, the predetermined fixed value is specifically a hexadecimal value “01”, and even if the FPH is “00”, the specific value (CW) is set to “+1” and the fixed value is It is set to change (update) a new specific value (CW) different from the numerical value. Of course, the fixed value is not limited to “01”, and may be another numerical value (integer) such as “02” or “03” as long as it is a numerical value other than “00”. . A new pointer is determined by the pointer determination means 540 based on the new specific value (CW) and the rotating reel 62 on which the stop operation has been performed.

  Specifically, for example, even if the lottery result of the role lottery is a single winning of a rare cherry or a duplicate winning of a cherry and a bonus, the first stop operation at that time is the left rotating reel 64 In this case, the specific value (CW) is set to be “66”. Here, the second lottery flag value (FPH) at the time of winning the bonus (RBB) is set to “01”, and the second lottery flag value (FPH) when the winning combination is not won (losing) Is set to “00”.

The pointer at that time is “1A” (see FIG. 8), and the transition determination process described later is performed, and when the symbol of the cherry role can be stopped at the stop operation timing (when the transition determination process does not shift). The stop table 440 (BTRP) is selected by the transition determination related table regardless of the distinction between the single win and the duplicate win, and the symbol of the cherry role can be stopped on the active line 86 by the stop table 440. Three medals will be paid out.
If the symbol of the cherry role cannot be stopped at the stop operation timing (when transferring in the transition determination process), “+1” is added to the current specific value (CW) regardless of whether it is a single winning or a duplicate winning. (Updated) and the specific value (CW) becomes “67”. With this specific value (CW) “67”, through a loop process (a process repeated from step 517 of FIG. 21 to be described later and returning to step 510), the current specific value (CW) “67” and the rotating reel stopped. “FF” is acquired as a pointer by the left rotating reel 64 which is 62 (see FIG. 8).

  In the case where the pointer is “FF” and the cherry is winning alone, “67” which is the current specific value (CW), “00” corresponding to the loss of the second lottery flag value (FPH), and a fixed value “01” is added, and the added numerical value becomes “68”. The added numerical value “68” is determined as a new specific value (CW), and this new specific value (CW) “68” is determined. "And the rotating reel on which the stop operation is performed (specifically, the left rotating reel 64), the pointer is determined to be" 75 "by the pointer determining means 540 (see FIG. 8). By the branch process, the pointer “75” becomes the specific value (CW) for absolute reference. In the specific value change selection process, the first setting process is performed, and the pointer “75” is added to the current specific value (CW). The current specific value (CW) is set to “75” (not shown), and the pointer of the pointer determination unit 540 is passed through a loop process (a process repeated from step 517 to step 510 in FIG. 21 described later). The determination table 542 determines that the pointer corresponding to the current specific value (CW) “75” and the stop operation reel is “08” (not shown), and a single pointer corresponding to this pointer “08”. The stop table 440 is acquired, the number of sliding frames is calculated by the stop table 440, and the left rotation reel 64 rotates and stops by the number of sliding frames.

  In the special processing 2 in the special processing means 580, the determined value determined based on whether or not the specific value (CW) and the second lottery flag value are included in a predetermined range are added to a predetermined fixed value. The numerical value after the addition is determined as a new specific value (CW), and a new pointer is set by the pointer determination means 540 based on the new specific value (CW) and the rotating reel 62 on which the stop operation has been performed. It is to be decided.

  Here, the “determined value determined based on whether or not the second lottery flag value (FPH) is included in a predetermined range” is “00” as the second lottery flag value (FPH). In the case (the lottery result of the role lottery, if the thing related to the role is lost), the decision value “0” is set, and the second lottery flag value (FPH) is included in the range of “01” to “04”. In the case (the lottery result of the role lottery, when the winning combination RB1, RB2, RB3, RB4 is won), the determined value “1” is set, and the second lottery flag value (FPH) is “05” to “44”. The decision value “2” is set when it is included in the range of (hexadecimal number, 68 in decimal number) (when the lottery result of the role lottery, single bonus SB1, SB2,..., SB64 is won). (See FIG. 13A).

The fixed value in the special process 2 is the same as the content described in the fixed value in the special process 1 described above.
In the special process 2, when a plurality of types of bonuses (RB1 to RB4 and SB1 to SB64) are mounted, depending on whether or not the group corresponding to the bonus is won (whether or not it is inside) , Which is used to divide stop control.
In this special process 2, when the AT combination determined by the first lottery flag value and the plural types of bonus combinations (RB1 to RB4, SB1 to SB64) determined by the second lottery flag value are independent winnings The stop control can be made different for each group in the case of overlapping winning. Specifically, the following stop control can be performed by using the special process 2. For example, in the case of independent winning where only the AT role is winning, stop control is set so that the winning symbol cannot be stopped on the active line 86 unless the stopping operation order is the correct pushing order. Yes. On the other hand, if the AT combination and any one of a plurality of bonus combinations are selected, the winning symbol will be displayed on the active line 86 even if the stop operation order is not correct. Can be set to stop control (stop control different from that in the case of single winning). At that time, any of the above-mentioned RB1 to RB4 can be determined without determining which of the bonuses (for example, RB1 to RB4) is won (any one of RB1 to RB4). If you have won a bonus, you can use multiple stoppages in groups by using the common decision value “1” for stop control that allows you to stop winning symbols regardless of the order of pressing. Can be implemented. In other words, data can be set for each bonus, and compared with those that perform stop control for each bonus, the data can be stored together as a group, thereby reducing the storage capacity and simplifying the program. Is something that can be done. In the above case, even when the number of AT combinations having a stop operation order is large, it is effective for reducing the storage capacity.

  Specifically, when the specific value (CW) is “77”, the pointer becomes “FE” (see FIG. 13B). At this time, the lottery result of the role lottery is one of lost, single bonus winning, and single bonus SB winning in relation to the second lottery flag value (FPH) (see FIG. 13A).

If the lottery result of the combination lottery is lost, the determined value is “0”, and the specific value (CW) “77”, the determined value “0”, and the fixed value “1” are added. The value thus determined is “78”, the new specific value (CW) is determined to be “78”, and the pointer of this new specific value (CW) “78” is collected (FIGS. 13A and 13B). reference).
When the lottery result of the combination lottery is RB1 to RB4 related to the combination, the determined value is “1”, the specific value (CW) “77”, the determined value “1”, and the fixed value “1”. The value obtained by adding is 79, and the new specific value (CW) is determined to be “79”, and the pointer of the new specific value (CW) “79” is collected (FIG. 13A ( b)).

When the lottery result of the combination lottery is SB1 to SB64 related to the combination, the determined value is “2”, the specific value (CW) “77”, the determined value “2”, and the fixed value “1”. The value obtained by adding is “7A”, the new specific value (CW) is determined to be “7A”, and the pointer of this new specific value (CW) “7A” is collected. When the first stop operation is the left rotation reel 64, the pointer is “FD”. When the first rotation operation is the middle rotation reel 66, the pointer is “FC”. (See FIGS. 13A and 13B).
In the special processing 3 in the special processing means 580, the basic value determined based on the pointer and the partial value determined by a part of the second lottery flag value are added, and the numerical value after this addition is used as a new pointer. To decide.

  In the special processing 3, the symbol combination is effective in terms of saving the storage capacity when the symbol combination is regularly repeated. In the present embodiment, the winning symbols of the single bonuses SB1 to SB64 are not particularly illustrated as the winnings, but “red 7 (R7)” positioned at symbol number 2 in the symbol array of the rotating reel 62 The rule is based on four symbols: “Cherry (CH)” located in symbol number 7, “Blue 7 (B7)” located in symbol number 12, and “White 7 (W7)” located in symbol number 17 Is formed.

The four symbols (red 7 (R7), blue 7 (B7), cherry (CH), white 7 (W7)) constituting the combination of symbols 61 that can be transferred to SB1 to SB64 are symbols on the reel symbol arrangement. Number 2 (R7, R7, R7), symbol number 7 (CH, CH, CH), symbol number 12 (B7, B7, B7), symbol number 17 (W7, W7, W7) and 5 symbols for each rotating reel 62 It is regularly arranged for each.
When the stop control related to SB is performed, “7A” is acquired as the specific value (CW). When the rotating reel 62 to be stopped is the left rotating reel 64, the pointer “FD” is acquired and the middle rotating reel 66 In this case, the pointer “FC” is acquired, and in the case of the right rotation reel 68, the pointer “FB” is acquired.

Here, the “basic value determined based on the pointer (all hexadecimal numbers)” is set to the basic value “20” in the case of the pointer “FD”, and the basic value in the case of the pointer “FC”. When the value “24” is set and the pointer is “FB”, the basic value “28” is set (see FIG. 14).
The “partial value determined by a part of the second lottery flag value (all hexadecimal numbers)” is calculated as follows.

  First, the second lottery flag value (FPH) is composed of a hexadecimal one-digit or two-digit numerical value (note that it is represented by two digits such as “01”). Is represented by binary bit representation “--abcdef” (see FIG. 14). Specifically, for example, when the second lottery flag value (FPH) is “68” (hexadecimal number, “104 in decimal number,“ 1101000 ”in binary number), the bit display is“ − ”. -1101000 ", the partial value" ab "becomes" 10 ", the partial value" cd "becomes" 10 ", and the partial value" ef "becomes" 00 "(see FIG. 14).

When the stopped rotation reel 62 is the left rotation reel 64 and the pointer is “FD”, the basic value “20” (hexadecimal number) determined based on the pointer and the second lottery flag value A partial value “ef” = “00” (binary number) determined by a part is added, and a numerical value after the addition is determined as a new pointer “20” (hexadecimal number) (see FIG. 14). ).
When the stopped rotating reel 62 is the middle rotating reel 66 and the pointer is “FC”, the basic value “24” (hexadecimal number, “36” in decimal number) determined based on the pointer is , A partial value “cd” = “10” (binary number, “02” in decimal number) determined by a part of the second lottery flag value is added, and the added numerical value is a new pointer. It is determined as “26” (hexadecimal number, “38” in decimal number).

If the stopped rotating reel 62 is the right rotating reel 68 and the pointer is “FB”, the basic value “28” (hexadecimal number, “40” in decimal number) determined based on the pointer is , A partial value “ab” = “10” (binary number, “02” in decimal number) determined by a part of the second lottery flag value is added, and the added numerical value is a new pointer. It is determined as “2A” (hexadecimal number, “42” in decimal number).
In this way, three partial values (“ab”, “cd”, “ef”) can be collected from one second lottery flag value (FPH), and compared with those for setting each FPH. Thus, the storage capacity can be reduced. Furthermore, since this partial value is a binary two-digit numerical value, four data of “00”, “01”, “10”, and “11” can be set.

When the pointer “FD” is acquired with the specific value (CW) “7A”, the basic value “20” and the four partial values “ef” are added to each other to obtain a new pointer (BTRG). As a result, four values “20”, “21”, “22”, and “23” can be calculated (see FIGS. 15A and 15B).
When the pointer “FC” is acquired with the specific value (CW) “7A”, the basic value “24” and the four partial values “cd” are added to each other to obtain a new pointer (BTRG). As a result, it is possible to calculate “24”, “25”, “26”, and “27” (see FIGS. 15A and 15B).

When the pointer “FB” is acquired with the specific value (CW) “7A”, the basic value “28” and the four partial values “ab” are added to each other to obtain a new pointer (BTRG). As a result, four values of “28”, “29”, “2A”, and “2B” can be calculated (see FIGS. 15A and 15B).
As described above, a large number of data can be calculated from one second lottery flag value (FPH), and the storage capacity can be reduced. This is because, as in the case of the SB of the present embodiment, the combination of the winning symbols is set as a large number of patterns that are regularly repeated, and the storage capacity of the pattern having a large number of patterns from SB1 to SB64. Effective for reduction.

Based on the pointer determined by the pointer determination unit 540, the branch processing determination unit 560 sets a new specific value (CW) as the specific value (CW) or selects a single stop table. A branch process for determining one of the processes is performed.
Specifically, the branch process determination means 560 determines whether or not to shift (set) the specific value (CW) to the new specific value (CW) based on the pointer (specific value shift determination process). Or a single stop table is selected (stop table selection process) or a new specific value (CW) is set as the specific value (CW) (specific value change process). , Branch processing is performed to determine any processing.

In this branching process, when the transition to a new specific value (CW) is performed by the specific value transition determination process or when a new specific value (CW) is set by the specific value change process, the pointer determination unit 540 creates a new specific value. A new pointer is determined based on the value (CW) and the rotating reel 62 on which the stop operation has been performed, and special processing is performed based on the new pointer and the second lottery flag value. The branch process is repeated based on the pointer.
The specific value acquisition means 520 combines the two results (FPL, FPH) without dividing the lottery result of the role lottery into the first lottery flag value (FPL) and the second lottery flag value (FPH). It is also possible to reflect a specific value (CW) at a time. In such a case, branch processing is performed based on a new pointer determined by the pointer determination means 540 without performing the special processing. Is repeated.

When the single stop table 440 is selected in the branch process by the stop table selection process, the reel stop processing unit 600 performs the stop process using the single stop table 440.
As described above, the plurality of processes determined by the branch process determination unit 560 includes the stop table selection process, the specific value shift determination process, and the specific value change process.

The branch process determining means 560, when the numerical value of the pointer (hexadecimal) determined by the pointer determining means 540 is “00” or more and “0F” or less (“00” to “0F”), Select a selection process. The name of the pointer at this time is a stop table pointer (BTRP).
In the stop table selection process, a single stop table 440 is selected using the stop data table (see FIG. 11) based on the pointer (stop table pointer (BTRP)) determined by the pointer determination means 540.

The branching process determining means 560 determines the specific value when the numerical value of the pointer (hexadecimal number) determined by the pointer determining means 540 is not less than “10” and not more than “4F” (“10” to “4F”). Select the migration judgment process. The name of the pointer at this time is a transition determination pointer (BTRG). This specific value shift determination processing is executed by the specific value shift determination means 680 described later.
If the numerical value of the pointer (hexadecimal number) is “50” or more, the branch process determining means 560 selects the specific value change process (CW change process). This specific value change process (CW change process) is executed by the specific value change selection means 620 described later.
The specific value transition determination unit 680 executes a specific value transition determination process.
In the specific value transition determination process, the symbol position of the rotating reel 62 when the stop switch 50 is stopped is acquired, and this symbol position and the pointer determined by the pointer determination means 540 (transition determination pointer (BTRG)) are used. Then, a determination as to whether or not to shift the specific value (CW) to a new specific value (CW), that is, a so-called specific value shift determination is performed using the shift determination data table (see FIG. 10).

Here, the specific value transition determination means 680 has two tables, a transition determination related table (see FIG. 9) and a transition determination data table (see FIG. 10), in order to perform the specific value transition determination process. .
The transition determination related table (see FIG. 9) is specified as a result of the transition determination pointer (BTRG) and the determination (specific value transition determination) on whether or not to shift the specific value (CW) to the new specific value (CW). It shows the relationship between the migration table pointer (migration P) used when the value (CW) is migrated to a new specific value (CW) and the stop table pointer (BTRP). The specific value transition determination means 680 described later acquires a transition table pointer (transition P) in the transition determination pointer (BTRG) and a stop table pointer (BTRP) in the transition determination pointer (BTRG) using the transition determination related table. To do.

The transition determination data table (see FIG. 10) is based on the symbol number (symbol position) when the stop switch 50 is stopped and the transition table pointer (transition P) collected from the transition determination related table (see FIG. 9). This indicates the determined transition determination value (“0” or “1”).
Specifically, when the specific value (CW) is shifted to a new specific value (CW) as a result of the specific value shift determination (when “0” is established as the shift determination value in the shift determination data table). A value obtained by adding a predetermined numerical value (specifically, “1”) to the current specific value (CW) is set as a new specific value (CW), and based on the new specific value (CW) Then, a new pointer is determined by the pointer determination means 540, and after the special processing of the special processing means 580, branch processing is repeated based on the pointer after the special processing.

On the other hand, in the specific value transition determination process, if the specific value (CW) is not shifted to a new specific value (CW) as a result of the specific value transition determination ("1" is established as the transition determination value in the transition determination data table). The pointer (transition determination pointer (BTRG)) is rewritten to another pointer (stop table pointer (BTRP)), and the single pointer determined using the other pointer (stop table pointer (BTRP)) The stop table 440 is used.
The specific value change selection means 620 executes a specific value change process (CW change process).

In the specific value change process (CW change process), a plurality of setting processes (a first setting process, a second setting process, and a third setting process described later) for setting a new specific value (CW) as the specific value (CW) are performed. Is provided. The specific value change selection means 620 performs a specific value change selection process that selects execution of one of the processes based on the pointer. Each setting process selected by the specific value change selecting process of the specific value change selecting means 620 is executed by a specific value change executing means 640 described later.
In the specific value change selection process, a first setting process for setting the pointer as a new specific value (CW), an addition value determined based on the pointer is added to the specific value (CW), and a numerical value after this addition Is set as a new specific value (CW), and a table switching process as a third setting process for switching the pointer determination table 542 to another pointer determination table 542 is provided.

  In the specific value change selection process by the specific value change selection means 620, the first to third setting processes are selected based on the numerical value of the pointer made up of hexadecimal numbers. Specifically, the specific change selection unit 620 selects the first setting process when the pointer is “50” or more and “8F” or less (“50” to “8F”) in the specific value change selection process. When the pointer is not less than “90” and not more than “CF” (“90” to “CF”), the second setting process is selected, and the pointer is not less than “D0” and not more than “EF” (“D0” to “ EF "), the third setting process (table switching process) is selected.

The specific value change executing means 640 is for executing each setting process (first, second and third setting processes) selected by the specific value change selecting means 620 based on the pointer. In this embodiment, a plurality of setting processes (first, second, and third setting processes) are provided, but the present invention is not necessarily limited to this, and any one (for example, the first setting process) Only the setting process) or two (for example, only the first setting process and the second setting process) may be included, and in addition to these three, another setting process is added and four or more setting processes. May be selected by a pointer.
The specific value change execution means 640 sets a pointer as the current CW in the first setting process. The so-called acquisition pointer is overwritten (absolutely referenced) on the current specific value (CW). For example, when the current pointer is “50”, the current specific value (CW) is set to “50”. The absolute reference of the first setting process is simpler and simpler than the other setting processes (second and third setting processes), and is preferably performed in the first setting process as much as possible. . It is preferable to use another second setting process or the third setting process when the number of patterns of the stop process is large and the simple reference of the first setting process cannot be handled. Is. Here, the absolute reference means that the numerical value of the pointer becomes the CW numerical value as it is, and the relative reference means that the numerical value of the pointer does not become the numerical value of the CW as it is and other relative numerical values. It is.

In the second setting process, the specific value change execution unit 640 adds the addition value determined based on the pointer to the specific value (CW), and sets the value after the addition as a new specific value (CW).
Here, the addition value is determined based on the pointer, and specifically, numerical values such as “−32” to “31” as shown in FIG. 16 (in FIG. 16, The added value is expressed in decimal number). This addition value indicates how much the current pointer has increased (“0” to “+31”) from the pointer of the reference addition value “0” or how much it has decreased (“−1” to “−”). 32 "), and is shown as the difference between the current pointer and the pointer of the reference value" 0 ". Of course, the addition value is not limited to this, but is determined based on a pointer, and any other value can be used as long as it can indicate a new specific value by being added to the specific value. It may be a numerical value.
The pointer used for the second setting process changes the current specific value (CW) from the addition value “0” that maintains the current state without increasing or decreasing the current specific value (CW) to “+31” (decimal number). “B0” to “CF” that are increased step by step are set, and these are indicated by the abbreviation “CW +”.

Further, the pointer used for the second setting process is set to “AF” to “90” that are gradually decreased from the addition value “−1” to “−32” (decimal number). "Is abbreviated.
The reference value is the numerical value of the pointer “B0” (hexadecimal number. 176 for decimal number) that maintains the current state from 100 (hexadecimal number, 256 for decimal number), in which the hexadecimal number shifts from two digits to three digits. A numerical value calculated by subtraction, and is set to “50” (hexadecimal number, 80 in decimal number).

Note that the above-described reference value, addition value, and preset pointers for “CW−” and “CW +” are not limited to the above-described numerical values. If the reference value is changed, the range of the acquisition pointer is also changed. It can be changed.
In the above description, “CW +” adds “0” to “31”, and “CW−” uses “−1” to “−32” as “add”. However, it is not particularly limited to this expression. For example, “CW +” adds “0” to “31”, and “CW−” “subtracts” “1” to “32”. Such an expression may be used.

  The second setting process substantially adds an addition value (“−32” to “32”) determined based on the pointer to the specific value, and sets the numerical value after the addition as a new specific value. It is. Various calculation processing methods can be used for this purpose, but in this embodiment, in order to reduce the storage capacity, the current pointer, a predetermined reference value “50”, and the current identification An arithmetic processing is employed in which a value is added to a value, and a numerical value of a predetermined number of digits (two digits) of the numerical value after the addition is set as a new numerical value. By the calculation process, the addition values (“−32” to “32”) shown in FIG. 16 are substantially added to the specific value. Of course, the specific calculation processing method in the second setting process is not limited to the above-described one, and addition values (“−32” to “32”) determined based on the pointer as shown in FIG. ) In advance and stored in a predetermined table, the addition value is collected based on the pointer, and the collected addition value is directly added to the specific value to calculate a new specific value. .

  Specifically, when the current specific value (CW) is to be changed (updated) by “+1” using “CW +”, the pointer “B1” (hexadecimal number) is designated. When the reference value “50” (hexadecimal number) is added to the pointer “B1”, it becomes “101” (hexadecimal number, 257 in decimal number). Here, the predetermined number of digits is two digits and overflows (overflow), and the third digit “100” is rounded down to “01”. A numerical value obtained by adding this to the current specific value (CW) becomes a new specific value (CW). For example, when the current specific value (CW) is “11” (hexadecimal number), the new specific value (CW) = current specific value “11” + acquisition pointer “B1” + reference value “50”. = “11” + “B1” + “50” = “112”, “112” overflows (overflows), and a two-digit numerical value is collected, and the new specific value (CW) is “12”. (Both are hexadecimal numbers) (see FIG. 16).

  When the current specific value (CW) is to be changed (updated) by “−1” using “CW−”, the pointer “AF” (hexadecimal number) is designated. When the reference value “50” (hexadecimal number) is added to the pointer “AF”, it becomes “FF” (hexadecimal number, 255 in decimal number). A numerical value obtained by adding this to the current specific value (CW) becomes a new specific value (CW). For example, when the current specific value (CW) is “11” (hexadecimal number), the new specific value (CW) = current specific value (CW) “11” + acquisition pointer “AF” + reference value “50” = “11” + “AF” + “50” = “110”, the third digit of “110” overflows (overflows), and a two-digit numerical value is collected and a new specific value is obtained. (CW) is “10” (both are hexadecimal numbers) (see FIG. 16).

When the third setting process (table switching process) is selected in the specific value change selecting process by the specific value change selecting means 620, the specific value change executing means 640 executes the table switching process as the third setting process.
In the third setting process, a plurality of pointer determination tables 542 are provided.
A part of the pointer (FIG. 17) of the pointer determination table (FIG. 8) of the pointer determination means 540 includes selection values (“D1”, “D2” corresponding to the pointer determination table 542 (pointer determination tables 1, 2, 3). "," D3 ") are stored in advance.

In this table switching process, the pointer determination table 542 is switched to another pointer determination table 542 (pointer determination tables 1, 2, 3).
In the table switching process, when the pointer determined by the pointer determination unit 540 is not a selection value (“D1”, “D2”, “D3”), the pointer determination unit 540 determines that the pointer determination table 542 (the pointer shown in FIG. 8). The determination table 542 is formed so that the pointer is determined using the pointer determination table 0) shown in FIG.
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, pointer determination tables 0, 1, 2, and 3 are provided as the pointer determination table 540, and the pointer determination table 0 is switched to the pointer determination table 1, 2, or 3. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Specifically, for example, when returning from the pointer determination table 1, 2 or 3 to the pointer determination table 0, when switching from the pointer determination table 1 to the pointer determination table 2 or 3, or from the pointer determination table 2 to the pointer determination table The case of switching to 1 or 3 or the case of switching from the pointer determination table 3 to the pointer determination table 1 or 2 may be included, or a combination of these may be included.

When the pointer determined by the pointer determination means 540 is a selection value (“D1”, “D2”, “D3”), the pointer determination corresponding to the selection value (“D1”, “D2”, “D3”) Switching to the table 542 (pointer determination tables 1, 2, 3) is performed. When “D1” is acquired as the pointer, the pointer determination table 1 is used. When “D2” is acquired as the pointer, the pointer determination table 2 is used and “D3” is acquired as the pointer. In such a case, the pointer determination table 3 is used.
The pointer determination unit 540 is configured to determine a pointer using the pointer determination table 542 after switching. The selection value and pointer determination tables 1, 2, and 3 are provided when one pointer determination table 0 alone cannot cope with the increase in the number of patterns in the lottery result of the winning lottery. Thus, when only one pointer determination table 0 can correspond to the number of winning lottery patterns, it can be omitted without providing.

The reel stop processing means 600 is for performing the stop processing of the rotary reel 62 by using the single stop table 440 selected by the table selection means 500. Specifically, the reel stop processing means 600 is described in the single stop table 440. The rotating reel 62 is rotated by the number of sliding symbols that is being operated (specifically, the number of sliding symbols at the position of the symbol number at the timing of the stop operation), and then the rotation is stopped.
As shown in FIG. 5, the transition state in the main control device 110 includes a normal state, an internal winning state (RT1 state, RBB being selected state), a bonus state (RBB state), and an SB state.

  The normal state is controlled by the normal state control means 160. When the bonus (RBB) is won by the winning lottery by the winning lottery means 120 in the normal state or the SB state, the normal state or the SB state is shifted to the internal winning state (the RT1 state, the RBB winning state). In this internal winning state (RT1 state, RBB winning state), the replay lottery probability is higher than in the normal state.

  The RT state in the internal winning state (RT1 state, RBB winning state) is a state in which replay controlled by the RT control means 170 is won with high probability. In the RT state, when the combination of the RBB bonus transition symbols 61 is complete, the RBB winning state, the so-called RT1 state, shifts to the bonus state (RBB state). This bonus state (RBB state) is controlled by the bonus control means 180. In this bonus state (RBB state), the replay lottery probability is set to zero.

When a predetermined number, for example, 26 sheets are paid out in the bonus state (RBB state), the state shifts from the RBB state to the normal state.
The SB state is a so-called single bonus, which can be shifted from the normal state, and is played only once, and if it is not won even if it is won, the right to win (winning flag) It is not carried over to the game of.
In the present embodiment, the main control device 110 is in a state other than the RBB state and the SB state (that is, the normal state and the internal winning state), and the sub control device 300 is in a state other than the AT state (that is, the non-AT state). State) is a normal game.

As shown in FIG. 6, the transition state (effect state) in the special state (AT) includes two states, a normal state during AT and an additional effect state during AT.
When shifting to the special state (AT), the normal state during the AT is entered. In the normal state during AT, if the winning effect determination execution means 390 determines that the transition to the additional effect state during AT is selected in the lottery of whether or not to shift to the additional effect state during AT, the transition to the additional effect state during AT is performed. Transition is determined, and the transition to the extra performance state (additional game) during the AT is performed.

Note that the special state (AT) is set to end when it is determined that the end condition has been achieved when a predetermined number of medals (specified number of acquisitions) has been paid out.
The extra game is executed in the extra stage during AT.
As shown in FIG. 7, in the specific value acquisition table, a part of the result of the lottery (specifically, the first lottery flag value (FPL: a flag pointer representing a winning combination including a small part)), A specific value (CW) corresponding to the rotating reel 62 (L: left rotating reel 64, C: middle rotating reel 66, R: right rotating reel 68) on which one stop operation has been performed is set. This specific value acquisition table is stored in the specific value acquisition means 520. The specific value acquisition means 520 uses the specific value acquisition table to determine a specific value (CW) based on a part of the lottery result (first lottery flag value (FPL)) and the rotating reel 62 of the first stop operation. Is obtained.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the pointer determination table 542 includes a specific value (CW) and a rotating reel 62 (L: left rotating reel 64, C: middle rotating reel 66, R: right rotating reel 68) on which a stop operation has been performed. ) And a predetermined pointer are set. This pointer determination table 542 is stored in the pointer determination means 540. By using this pointer determination table 542, the pointer determination means 540 is used to specify the specific value (CW) and the rotating reel 62 (left rotating reel 64, middle rotating reel 66, right rotating reel 68) on which the stop operation has been performed. Based on this, a predetermined pointer (hexadecimal number) is determined. The pointers in the pointer determination table 542 are classified into a plurality of types according to the numerical range. Specifically, the pointer has a stop table pointer (BTRP) whose numerical value (hexadecimal) range is “00” to “0F” (“00” or more and “0F” or less), and its numerical range is “10”. ”To“ 4F ”(“ 10 ”or more and“ 4F ”or less), and the numerical value range thereof is“ 50 ”to“ EF ”(“ 50 ”or more and“ EF ”or less). A specific pointer (a part of this specific pointer is set as a new specific value (CW)) and its numerical range is “F0” (“F0” to “FC” are not set, and substantially Is composed of “FB”) to “FF”, and is classified mainly into four types in the case of special processing pointers.

As shown in FIG. 8, the notation of the pointer or the like of the intermediate rotation reel 66 with the specific value (CW) “51” is “−−”, but this is “unused”. It means "cannot be selected" (the same applies to other "-"). Here, when this "-" is provided in a plurality of different specific values (CW), the data can be compressed by combining them. For example, the pointers of the left rotation reel 64, the middle rotation reel 66, and the right rotation reel 68 of one specific value (CW) are “pointer A”, “pointer B”, and “-”, and the other one specific value (CW). When the pointers of the left rotation reel 64, middle rotation reel 66, and right rotation reel 68 of the value (CW) are "-", "-", and "pointer C", these two specific values are used. (CW) pointer data of the left rotating reel 64, the middle rotating reel 66, and the right rotating reel 68 are pointer data of one specific value (CW) such as “pointer A”, “pointer B”, and “pointer C”. Data can be stored together. As a result, the data of the pointer can be compressed, and the storage capacity (memory) can be saved.
As shown in FIG. 9, in the transition determination related table, a transition table pointer (transition P) and a stop table pointer (BTRP) are associated with each other in relation to the transition determination pointer (BTRG).

  When the branch table determination unit 560 acquires the transition table pointer (transition P) in the transition determination pointer (BTRG), performs the specific value transition determination, and shifts the specific value (CW) to the new specific value (CW). The specific value (CW) is updated (rewritten) to a value obtained by adding “1” to the current specific value (CW). Further, when the branch process determining means 560 does not shift the specific value (CW) to the new specific value (CW) as a result of the specific value transition determination, the stop table pointer (BTRP) in the transition determination pointer (BTRG) is set. Acquired and the stop process of the rotating reel 62 is performed by the stop table 440 corresponding thereto.

  The transition table pointer (transition P) in the transition determination related table of FIG. 9 is set so that it can be calculated from the data of the transition determination pointer (BTRG) by a combination of predetermined arithmetic processing and condition determination.

  Further, in the above-described migration determination related table of FIG. 9, the data of both the migration determination pointer (BTRG) and the migration table pointer (migration P) are displayed (stored) in the same state. May occur in places that are the same or non-identical. When the values of the migration determination pointer (BTRG) and the migration table pointer (migration P) are the same (when they match), only one migration determination pointer (BTRG) is stored, and the other migration table pointer (migration P). May be omitted (data is not stored).

  More specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 9, when the transition determination pointer (BTRG) is “16”, the stop table pointer is also “16” and the numerical value is the same. Only “16” is stored, the stop table pointer “16” is not stored, and the data “16” stored in the transition determination pointer (BTRG) is used. As a result, when it is determined that both values are the same by a predetermined flag or the like, the data of the transfer determination pointer (BTRG) is used as it is as the transfer table pointer (transfer P), so that the data is shared. The storage capacity (memory) can be saved. Note that the data to be stored may be reversed, and the transition determination pointer (BTRG) may be omitted and only the transition table pointer (transition P) may be stored.

  Here, in the migration determination related table shown in FIG. 9, a so-called front-alignment is performed so that the frequently used migration determination pointer (BTRG) is arranged at the head of data (the earlier side in which the program processing is performed). doing. When executing a program, it is possible to increase the execution processing speed of the program by locating frequently used data on the top side in order to determine whether or not it corresponds to the data on the top side.

  Further, when arranging these data, if the data is repeatedly generated in a predetermined pattern as described above, the data can be shared and used as described above. For this reason, when the data of the migration determination related table shown in FIG. 9 is arranged, such data is arranged so that it is repeatedly generated, and further, such repeated data is set to be arranged on the head side. Yes. Thereby, the execution processing speed can be further increased.

In the transition determination data table shown in FIG. 10, the symbol number (symbol position) when the stop switch 50 is stopped and the transition table pointer (transition P) collected from the transition determination related table (refer to FIG. 10), A transition determination value (“0” or “1”) is determined.
The branch process determining means 560 uses the transition determination data table in the specific value transition determination process to determine the transition determination value determined by the symbol number when the stop switch 50 is operated and the transition table pointer (transition P). Is “0”, the specific value (CW) is shifted to a new specific value (CW). Specifically, the updated value obtained by adding 1 to the current specific value (CW) is used as the new specific value (CW) (rewritten).

  The branch process determining means 560 uses the transition determination data table in the specific value transition determination process to determine the transition determination value determined by the symbol number when the stop switch 50 is operated and the transition table pointer (transition P). Is “1”, the specific value (CW) is not shifted to the new specific value (CW).

  When storing the symbol number (symbol position) and the corresponding data (specifically, data consisting of “0” and “1”), in the conventional (initial) case, the symbol X in FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, eight data (eight types of transition table pointer (transition P) transition determination value “0” or “1”) are stored for each symbol (one frame) of each symbol number (each symbol position). Stored as 1 byte. In this case, when the types of migration table pointers (migration P) increase, a capacity (frame) for eight data must be prepared, and thus a capacity (frame) for data is wasted. Since the type of the migration table pointer (migration P) is not necessarily a multiple of 8, empty data is generated, and the capacity (frame) for the empty data is wasted. In the present embodiment, as indicated by a symbol P in FIG. 10, a total of 8 data (shift determination) for 4 symbols (4 frames) of symbol numbers (symbol positions) of two types of transition table pointers (migration P). Value) is stored as 1 byte. Similarly, as shown by symbols Q, R, S, and T in FIG. 10, a total of 8 symbols for 4 symbols (4 frames) of symbol numbers (symbol positions) of two types of migration table pointers (migration P). Data (migration judgment value) is stored as 1 byte.

  That is, the data of the migration determination values of the two types of migration table pointers (migration P) has a total of 5 bytes including symbols P, Q, R, S, and T. In this way, a total of 8 pieces of data (migration judgment value) for 4 symbols (4 frames) of symbol numbers (symbol positions) of the two types of migration table pointers (migration P) are stored as 1 byte. Thus, even if the type of the migration table pointer (migration P) is added, 8 pieces of data (8 types of migration table pointer (migration P)) for each symbol (one frame) as described above (migration judgment) Compared with the case of storing (value) as 1 byte, it is possible to suppress the waste of capacity (frame) for empty data. Note that the above-described configuration is possible because the symbol number (symbol position) of the present embodiment is a total of 20 symbols (20 frames) from 0 to 19.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the stop data table 420 includes a plurality of stop tables 440 (specifically, for example, “05”, “06”, “07”,..., Etc. of the stop table 440). ing. A numerical value such as “05” in the stop table 440 is a numerical value of the stop table pointer (BTRP). Each stop table 440 includes a symbol number of the rotary reel 62 when the stop switch 50 is stopped, and the number of sliding symbols (specifically, 0, 1, 2,. 3) and so on.

  Specifically, for example, when the stop table pointer (BTRP) is “05” using the left rotating reel 64, “05” of the stop table 440 is selected, and the stop switch 50 at that time is stopped. If the symbol number at the middle position when operated is “4”, the stop data table 420 indicates that the number of sliding frames is “0”, and it stops as it is without rotating (sliding) (bita stop). , “Bell (BE)” stops at the middle position. In addition, in “06” of the stop table 440, when the symbol number of the middle position when the stop operation is performed is “16”, the stop data table 420 sets the number of sliding frames to “4” and 4 frames. Rotate to move (slide) and stop, and “Blue 7 (B7)” of symbol number “12” stops at the middle position.

  In the stop data table 420 shown in FIG. 11, the number of sliding frames is shown for easy understanding, but actually, the numerical value of the number of sliding frames is not stored in each column. On the actual data, the bit display of “0” and “1” is made, the symbol position that can be stopped is “1”, and the symbol position that cannot be stopped is “0”. Based on the bit display, the number of frames that can be stopped is rotated. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this, and the numerical value of the number of sliding frames may be directly stored, and the rotary reel 62 may be rotated and moved by the number of symbols (number of frames).

  In the list table of processing based on the pointer shown in FIG. 12, the range of the acquisition pointer, the name, and the specification content are described. The acquisition pointers “00” to “0F” become stop table pointers (BTRP) and are used to select a single stop table. The acquisition pointers “10” to “4F” become a transition determination pointer (BTRG) and are used for the transition determination process. The acquisition pointers “50” to “EF” become specific pointers, are used for specific value change selection processing, and a predetermined pointer is set to the specific value (CW). The acquisition pointers “50” to “8F” are changed by directly specifying the pointers in the CW. The acquisition pointers “90” to “AF” are “CW−”, and are obtained by subtracting a positive pointer from the current CW (adding a negative pointer) to obtain a new CW. The acquisition pointers “B0” to “CF” are “CW +”, and a pointer is added to the current CW (a plus pointer is added) to obtain a new CW. The acquisition pointers “D0” to “EF” are CWs for table switching processing, and the pointer (selection value) indicates the pointer determination table 542 (pointer determination tables 1, 2, 3).

The acquisition pointers “F0” to “FF” (“F0” to “FC” are not set) are special processing pointers and correspond to a plurality of special processing. Among them, the acquisition pointers “FB” to “FD” correspond to special processing 3 (addition of basic value and partial value), and the acquisition pointer “FE” corresponds to special processing 2 (specific value (CW)). The acquisition pointer “FF” corresponds to the special processing 1 (specific value (CW) and the second lottery flag value (CW)), corresponding to the determined value determined based on the second lottery flag value (FPH) and a fixed value. FPH) and a fixed value are added).
In FIG. 13A, in the special process 2, the lottery result of the role lottery corresponding to the type of the accessory, and those included in the predetermined group of the second lottery flag value (FPH) are the common decision values (0, 1, 2).

  If the lottery result of the combination lottery indicates that the content related to the combination is lost, the second lottery flag value (FPH) is “00”, and “0” is set as the determined value. As a result of the lottery of the role lottery, the second lottery flag value (FPH) when RB1 is won is “01”, the second lottery flag value (FPH) when RB2 is won is “02”, The second lottery flag value (FPH) when RB3 is winning is “03”, the second lottery flag value (FPH) when RB4 is winning is “04”, and these are all determined in common. The value “1” is set. Similarly, the lottery result of the role lottery, the second lottery flag value (FPH) when SB1 is won is “05”,..., The second lottery flag value when SB64 is won ( FPH) is “44”, and a common decision value “2” is set for all of these.

In FIG. 13B, as already described, in the special process 2, the above-described determined values (“0”, “1”, “2”) and the fixed value “1” are added. In the case of a loss, the specific value “77” is shifted to “78”, and when any of the bonuses RB1 to RB4 is won, the specific value “77” is shifted to “79”, and SB1 to SB64. If either is won, the specific value “77” is shifted to “7A”.
In FIG. 14, as already described, in the special process 3, the second lottery flag value (FPH) is displayed in 8 bits, the partial value based on the pointer is sampled, the partial value and the basic value based on the pointer, Are added to obtain a new pointer. In the pointer “FD”, the partial value “ef” is collected, in the pointer “FC”, the partial value “cd” is collected, and in the pointer “FB”, the partial value “ab” is collected. The values (“20”, “24”, “28”) are added to each other, and new pointers (“20”, “26”, “2A”) are collected.

  In FIG. 15A, as already described, in the special processing 3, the pointers “FD”, “FC”, and “FB” are acquired in each rotating reel 62, and new pointers as described above are collected. In the transition determination related table, as shown in FIG. 15B, four types of data are arranged adjacent to each other by four numerical values “00”, “01”, “10”, and “11” expressed by partial values. Is arranged. Note that the stop table pointer (BTRG) is collected, and in the specific value shift determination process, when the shift is made, the specific value (CW) of FIG. 15A shifts from “7A” to “7B”.

In FIG. 16, as already described, in the second setting process, the pointers “90” to “AF” are set to the added values “−32” to “−1”, and the pointers “B0” to “CF” are set. , Addition values “0” to “32” are set.
In FIG. 17, as described above, in the table switching process as the third setting process, the selection values (“D1”, “D2”, “D3”) as the pointers of the pointer determination table 542 (pointer determination table 0) are collected. As a result, table switching processing to another pointer determination table 542 (pointer determination tables 1, 2, and 3) is performed. After the table is switched, a new pointer is collected based on the switched pointer determination table 542.

Based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 18, a general game control process executed by the main controller 110 for each game will be described.
In step 112, the main controller 110 determines whether or not the start switch 40 has been operated. Here, if it is determined that the start switch 40 has been operated, the main controller 110 makes it impossible to set the number of bets. Thereafter, the process proceeds to the next step 113. On the other hand, if it is determined that the start switch 40 has not been operated, step 112 is again performed.

As a premise of this step 112, a betting number setting process is performed. In this betting number setting process, it is determined whether or not a prescribed betting number is set as the betting number. Specifically, the main controller 110 determines whether or not the number of medals set as the number of bets on the game has reached a specified number of bets (2 or 3).
In step 113, the role lottery means 120 performs a role lottery process. At this time, the result of the winning lottery is transmitted from the main control device 110 to the sub-control device 300. Further, the transfer lottery means 330 performs a transfer lottery process. When these processes are completed, the process proceeds to the next step 114.

In step 114, rotation variation processing of the rotary reel 62 in the reel unit 60 is performed. After the rotation reel 62 reaches a predetermined rotation speed, if the stop switch 50 corresponding to the rotating rotation reel 62 is operated by the main control device 110, the stop control means 140 causes the rotation control of each rotation reel 62. The rotation is stopped. The stop operation sequence corresponding to the winning combination of the stop switch 50 (left stop switch L, middle stop switch C, right stop switch R) at this time is stored in a predetermined storage area formed in the main controller 110. Then, it is read out in the subsequent processing.
Further, after all stop operations are completed, the rotation stop information of all the rotation reels 62 is transmitted from the transmission unit 260 of the main control device 110 to the reception unit 310 of the sub control device 300. Then, when the rotation variation process for all the rotary reels 62 is completed, the process proceeds to the next step 115.

In step 115, the payout control means 250 performs a payout process corresponding to the payout number of medals determined based on the specific value (CW) or the like. In the case where payout is not required, payout processing is not performed. Then, the process ends.
In the flowchart shown in FIG. 18, the general game control process has been described. However, in the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 19 to 26, the stop control process will be described specifically.
The first stop operation process will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.
First, in step 311, the player operates the start switch 40 to be turned on. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 312.
In step 312, the role lottery means 120 performs a role lottery process. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 313.

In step 313, rotation of the rotary reel 62 in the reel unit 60 is started. Then, when the rotation speed of the rotary reel 62 reaches a predetermined rotation speed, the rotation becomes steady. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 314.
In step 314, the player operates the stop switch 50 serving as the first stop operation, so that the stop switch 50 serving as the first stop operation is activated (turns on). Then, the process proceeds to next Step 315.
In step 315, the specific value acquisition unit 520 acquires a specific value (CW) corresponding to the first lottery flag value (FPL) which is a part of the result of the lottery and the rotating reel 62 of the first stop operation. The Then, the process proceeds to next Step 316.

  In the present embodiment, the first lottery flag value (FPL), which is a part of the result of the lottery drawing, and the specific value (CW) corresponding to the first stop reel are acquired. There is no limitation, and a combination of both the first lottery flag value (FPL) and the second lottery flag value (FPH), which are all the results of the winning lottery, and the specific value ( CW) can also be acquired.

In step 316, various processes corresponding to the specific value (CW) acquired by the specific value acquisition means 520 and the rotating reel 62 that has been stopped are performed. Eventually, a single stop table 440 is selected. The contents of these various processes will be described later in detail. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 317.
In step 317, the reel stop processing unit 600 performs the stop process of the rotary reel 62 in the first stop operation using the selected single stop table 440. Specifically, the rotary reel 62 is rotated by the number of sliding frames calculated by the selected stop table 440. Then, the process ends.

Based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 20, the second stop operation process and the third stop process will be described.
In the second stop operation process, the final specific value (CW) of the first stop operation process is used as the current specific value (CW), and in the third stop process, the final specific value of the second stop operation process is used. The value (CW) is used as the current specific value (CW).

In step 411, the player operates the stop switch 50, which is the second (in the case of the second stop operation) or the third (in the case of the third stop operation) stop operation, so that the second stop operation is performed. Alternatively, the stop switch 50 as the third stop operation is activated (turned on). Then, the process proceeds to next Step 412.
In step 412, various processes corresponding to the current specific value (CW) and the stopped rotating reel 62 are performed. Eventually, a single stop table 440 is selected. The contents of these various processes will be described later in detail. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 413.

In step 413, stop processing of the rotating reel 62 by the second stop operation or the third stop operation is performed. Using the selected single stop table 440, the reel stop processing means 600 performs stop processing of the rotary reel 62 in the second stop operation or the third stop operation. Specifically, the rotary reel 62 is rotated by the number of sliding frames calculated by the selected stop table 440. Then, the process ends. In this flowchart, the second stop operation process is performed when the second stop operation process is performed, and the third stop operation process is performed when the third stop operation process is performed. Both are not mixed.
Various processes corresponding to the current specific value (CW) and the rotating reel 62 that has been stopped will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.

  First, in step 510, the pointer determination means 540 uses the pointer determination table 542 (see FIG. 8) to determine the current specific value (CW) and the type of the rotation reel 62 that has been stopped (left rotation reel 64, medium rotation). Pointers corresponding to the reel 66 and the right rotating reel 68) are determined. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 511.

In step 511, special processing is performed by the special processing means 580. The contents of this special process will be described later with reference to FIG. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 512.
Based on the pointer determined by the pointer determination unit 540, in step 512, the branch process determination unit 560 performs a plurality of processes (specifically, a total of specific value transition determination process, stop table selection process, specific value change process). It is determined which of the three processes) is to be performed.
Specifically, it is determined whether the numerical value of the pointer falls within the range corresponding to which process. When the hexadecimal number as the pointer is “50” or more (“50” ˜), it is determined as the specific value changing process, and the process proceeds to Step 518. On the other hand, if the hexadecimal number as the pointer is “00” or more and “0F” or less (“00” to “0F”), it is determined as stop table selection processing and the process proceeds to step 513. On the other hand, if the hexadecimal number as the pointer is “10” or more and “4F” or less (“10” to “4F”), it is determined as the specific value shift determination processing and the process proceeds to step 515.

  If it is determined in step 512 that the numerical value of the hexadecimal number as the pointer is equal to or greater than “50” (“50” ˜) and it is determined that the specific value change process is to be executed, in step 518, the specific value change executing means is executed. The specific value changing process (CW changing process) is executed by 640. The contents of the specific value changing process will be described later in detail with reference to FIG. Then, the process returns to step 510.

If it is determined in step 512 that the hexadecimal value as a pointer is “00” or more and “0F” or less (“00” to “0F”), and it is determined that stop table selection processing is to be executed, step 513 is performed. 1, data of a single stop table 440 corresponding to the pointer (stop table pointer (BTRP)) is acquired using the stop data table 420 (FIG. 11). Then, the process proceeds to next Step 513.
In step 513, using the single stop table 440 acquired from the stop data table 420 (FIG. 11), the number of sliding symbols (0, 1, 2, 3, etc.) corresponding to the symbol number where the stop switch 50 is operated. Is obtained (calculated). Then, the process ends.

  If it is determined in step 512 that the hexadecimal value as the pointer is “10” or more and “4F” or less (“10” to “4F”) and it is determined that the specific value transition determination processing is to be executed, step In 515, using the transition determination related table (FIG. 9), the transition data (specifically, the transition table pointer (transition P)) corresponding to the pointer (transition determination pointer (BTRG)) and the data of the stop table 440 are stored. (Specifically, stop table pointer (BTRP)) is acquired. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 516.

In step 516, the specific value shift determination means 660 determines whether or not to shift the specific value (CW) to a new specific value (CW) (specific value shift determination). Specifically, according to the transition determination data table (FIG. 10), the transition determination value is “0” or “1” depending on the transition table pointer (transition P) and the symbol number where the stop switch 50 is stopped. It is determined whether or not there is. When the transition determination value determined by the transition table pointer (transition P) and the symbol number is “0”, it is determined to “migrate”, and when the transition determination value is “1”, “no transition”. To be determined. If “no shift” is determined by the specific value shift determination, the process proceeds to step 514, and if “transfer”, the process proceeds to step 517.
In step 517, 1 is added to the numerical value (hexadecimal number) of the current specific value (CW), and the numerical value after the addition is set as a new specific value (CW) (updated). Then, the process returns to step 510.

Based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 22, the special processing in step 511 in FIG. 21 will be described.
First, in step 551, the special processing means determines which special processing from among a plurality of special processing (special processing 1, 2, 3) based on the acquired pointer. Specifically, the special processing unit 580 determines whether the current pointer numerical value corresponds to a predetermined range (numerical value) corresponding to the special operation.

If the hexadecimal number as the pointer is “FF”, it is determined as special processing 1 and the process proceeds to step 553. If the hexadecimal number as the pointer is “FE”, it is determined as special processing 2 and the process proceeds to step 552. On the other hand, when the hexadecimal number as the pointer is “FB” to “FD”, it is determined as the special processing 3 and the process proceeds to Step 554. If it is determined that the hexadecimal value as the pointer is less than “FB”, the process ends.
If it is determined in step 551 that the pointer is “FF”, special processing 1 is executed by the special processing means 580 in step 553. The contents of the special process 1 will be described later in detail with reference to FIG. Then, the process ends.
If it is determined in step 551 that the pointer is “FE”, special processing 2 is executed by the special processing means 580 in step 552. The contents of the special processing 2 will be described later in detail with reference to FIG. Then, the process ends.

If it is determined in step 551 that the pointer is “FB” to “FD”, special processing 3 is executed by special processing means 580 in step 553. The contents of the special processing 3 will be described later in detail with reference to FIG. Then, the process ends.
Based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 23, the content of the special process 1 of step 553 of FIG. 22 is demonstrated.
In step 561, a value obtained by adding the value of the second lottery flag value (FPH) to the current specific value (CW) is set as a new specific value (CW). Then, the process proceeds to next Step 562.
In step 562, the new specific value (CW) added with the fixed value “1” is overwritten as the new specific value (CW), and the pointer determination means 540 uses the new specific value (CW). The pointer is collected using the pointer determination table 542. Then, the process ends.

Based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 24, the special process 2 of step 552 of FIG. 22 is demonstrated.
In step 581, the special processing means 580 determines which of the predetermined numerical values the second lottery flag value (FPH) corresponds to.
Specifically, the special processing means 580 determines which value the second lottery flag value (FPH) corresponds to. If the second lottery flag value (FPH) is “0”, the lottery result of the combination lottery, the thing related to the combination is lost, and the process proceeds to step 583.
In addition, when the second lottery flag value (FPH) is “01” to “04”, the lottery result of the role lottery, the item related to the role is the one that has won one of the bonuses RB1 to RB3. Then, go to step 582.
Also, when the second lottery flag value (FPH) is “05” to “44”, the lottery result of the role lottery, the item related to the role is one of the single bonuses SB1 to SB64. Then, the process proceeds to Step 584.

If it is determined in step 581 that the second lottery flag value (FPH) is any of “01” to “04”, in step 582, the current specific value (CW) is set to the determined value “1”. "Is added as a new specific value (CW). Then, the process proceeds to next Step 583.
When it is determined in step 581 that the second lottery flag value (FPH) is any one of “05” to “44”, in step 584, the determined value “2” is set to the current specific value (CW). "Is added as a new specific value (CW). Then, the process proceeds to next Step 583.

In step 583, the new specific value (CW) added with the fixed value “1” is overwritten with the new specific value (CW), and the pointer determination means 540 uses the new specific value (CW) to point the pointer. A pointer is collected using the decision table 542. Then, the process ends.
Based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 25, the special processing 3 in step 554 in FIG. 22 will be described.

In step 590, the basic value determined based on the collected pointer is acquired by the special processing means 580. Specifically, when the pointer is “FD”, the basic value “20” is acquired, when the pointer is “FC”, the basic value “24” is acquired, and when the pointer is “FB”, the basic value “20” is acquired. The value “28” is acquired. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 591.
In step 591, the partial value of the second lottery flag value (FPH) corresponding to the pointer is acquired. Specifically, a numerical value consisting of one or two hexadecimal digits (in the notation, two digits such as “01”) is displayed as a bit consisting of a binary number in the form of “--abcdef”. “A”, “b”, “c”, “d”, “e”, and “f” are numerical values of “0” or “1”. Specifically, when the pointer is “FD”, the partial value “ef” is acquired, when the pointer is “FC”, the basic value “cd” is acquired, and when the pointer is “FB”, the basic value “cd” is acquired. The value “ab” is obtained. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 592.

In step 592, a base value, a numerical value obtained by adding the partial values, determined as pointer. Then, the process ends.
Based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 26, the specific value changing process (CW changing process) in step 518 in FIG. 21 will be described.
In step 610, the specific value change selection means 620 determines whether the first setting process, the second setting process (subtraction, addition), or the third setting process corresponds to the process based on the acquired pointer.
The specific value change selecting means 620 has a pointer numerical value of “50” or more and “8F” or less (“5
0 "to" 8F "), the first setting process is selected. Then, the process proceeds to Step 611.

The specific value change selection means 620 is a case where the numerical value of the pointer is “90” or more and “CF” or less (“90” to “CF”) (specifically, “90” or more and “AF” or less ( “90” to “AF”) and “B0” or more and “CF” or less (a range including “B0” to “CF”)), an added value (“−32” including both positive and negative). To “31”) is selected (substantially addition or subtraction). In the second setting process, the addition value is “−32” to “−1”, and a subtraction range that is substantially subtracted by adding a negative numerical value, and the addition value is “0” to “31”. ”And an addition range that is substantially an addition.
Specifically, the specific value change selecting unit 620 determines that the addition value is “−32” to “−32” when the numerical value of the pointer is “90” or more and “AF” or less (“90” to “AF”). A second setting process (subtraction) that substantially subtracts “−1” is selected. Then, the process proceeds to Step 612.

The specific value change selecting means 620 substantially subtracts the added value from “0” to “31” when the numerical value of the pointer is not less than “B0” and not more than “CF” (“B0” to “CF”). The second setting process (addition) to be added is selected. Then, the process proceeds to Step 613.
The specific value change selection means 620 selects the table switching process as the third setting process when the numerical value of the pointer is not less than “D0” and not more than “EF” (“D0” to “EF”). Then, the process proceeds to Step 614.
If the first setting process is selected in step 610, a pointer is set to the current specific value (CW) in step 611. Then, the process ends.

If the second setting process (subtraction) is selected in step 610, the value corresponding to the pointer is subtracted from the current specific value (CW) in step 612. By performing the predetermined arithmetic processing, substantially any one of the addition values “−32” to “−1” corresponding to the pointer is added to the current specific value (CW). Then, the process ends.
If the second setting process (addition) is selected in step 610, a value corresponding to the pointer is added from the current specific value (CW) in step 613. By performing the predetermined arithmetic processing, substantially any one of the addition values “0” to “31” corresponding to the pointer is added to the current specific value (CW). Then, the process ends.

If the table switching process as the third setting process is selected in step 610, another pointer determination table 542 (pointer determination table 1, 2 or 3) corresponding to the pointer (selected value) is determined in step 614. Change to Specifically, when the pointer is the selection value “D1”, the pointer determination table 542 is changed to the pointer determination table 1, and when the pointer is the selection value “D2”, the pointer determination table 542 is the pointer. If the pointer is changed to the determination table 2 and the pointer is the selection value “D3”, the pointer determination table 542 is changed to the pointer determination table 3. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 615.
In step 615, the pointer determined in the other pointer determination table 1, 2 or 3 is set as the current specific value (CW). Then, the process ends.

In the present embodiment, the specific value acquisition means 520 has a specific value (corresponding to the first lottery flag value resulting from the role lottery and the rotary reel 62 on which the first stop operation (first stop operation) has been performed ( CW).
Then, the pointer determination unit 540 determines a pointer based on the specific value (CW) acquired by the specific value acquisition unit 520 and the rotating reel 62 on which the stop operation has been performed.
Then, the special processing means 580 executes special processing that can change the pointer based on the pointer and the second lottery flag value as a result of the role lottery.

The branch process determining means 560 determines one of the processes in the branch process based on the pointer after the special process. In the branching process, when a new specific value (CW) is set, the pointer determination means 540 uses the new specific value (CW) and the rotating reel 62 on which the stop operation has been performed as a parameter. Determine the new pointer. Based on this new pointer, the branching process is repeated. In the meantime, when a single stop table 440 is selected based on the pointer, the stop table 440 performs stop processing.
That is, finally, when a specific value (CW) corresponding to the result of the lottery drawing and the rotating reel 62 on which the stop operation has been performed is acquired, the pointer is determined based on the specific value (CW). Thus, a single stop table 440 is determined.

As a result, each rotating reel can be selected according to the type of winning combination.
Every 62 does not require all patterns of the stop table 440 corresponding to the stop operation order. For example, when the bell combination is a winning combination, the stop table when the left rotating reel 64 is stopped first (first stopping operation), and then the middle rotating reel 66 is stopped second (first operation). Each stop table is provided independently such as a stop table at the time of (2 stop operation) and then a stop table at the time of the third stop operation (third stop operation) of the right rotation reel 68. The total number of stop tables 440 can be reduced as compared with the one. Since the number of types of the stop table 440 can be reduced, the overall data capacity in the stop control of the rotary reel 62 can be reduced.

  Further, throughout the stop control, a single stop table 440 is finally selected via a pointer using a parameter called a specific value (CW). When a single stop table 440 is selected from a plurality of stop tables 440 that can be stopped, a lottery is performed, or predetermined parameters for determining a priority order for selecting a single stop table 440 (for example, a medal Processing such as calculating the amount of profits to be given to the player, such as the number of payouts, is not performed. In other words, the stop control process is made more efficient by using a parameter called a specific value (CW) over the entire stop control as compared to the stop control using many such parameters and going through many processing steps. Can do.

  By the specific value acquisition means 520, the first lottery flag value (FPL) as a parameter corresponding to a part of the lottery result of the role lottery and the rotary reel 62 (the so-called first stop operation) on which the first stop operation is performed The specific value (CW) corresponding to the reel is acquired. Thereafter, the pointer determination means 540 determines the pointer based on the specific value (CW) and the rotating reel 62. Then, the special processing means 580 makes the second lottery flag value as a parameter corresponding to the pointer different from the part of the lottery result of the role lottery (that is, different from the first lottery flag value (FPL)). Based on (FPH), special processing is executed.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the specific value acquisition unit 520 does not set a specific value (CW) based on all the results of the lottery at once and the first stop operation reel. . The lottery result of the role lottery is divided into a first lottery flag value (FPL) and a second lottery flag value (FPH), and the specific value acquisition means 520 uses the first lottery flag value (FPL) to specify a specific value (CW). In the middle of the subsequent processing, the special processing means 580 reflects it in the pointer using the second lottery flag value (FPH).

  When the specific value acquisition means 520 reflects all the results of the lottery at once to acquire the specific value (CW), the specific value (CW) corresponding to all the patterns of the lottery results of the winning lottery and the first stop operation ( CW) must be provided in advance. In this case, there is no problem when the number of lottery results lottery results is small, but when the number of lottery results lottery results increases, the number of patterns of all lottery results is specified separately from the beginning. The value (CW) must be set and dealt with, and considering the creation of a large number of patterns of data and the storage capacity for storing them, the processing by the specific value acquisition means 520 is not easy. .

In the present embodiment, the lottery result of the role lottery is divided into a plurality of first lottery flag values (FPL) and second lottery flag values (FPH), and is reflected in the specific value (CW) or pointer. The amount of data stored (stored) in advance in the specific value acquisition unit 520 can be reduced, and subsequent processing can be facilitated.
In the present embodiment, as a combination, a combination corresponding to the first lottery flag value (FPL) and a combination corresponding to the second lottery flag value (FPH) are duplicate winning combinations, and a single winning combination But have something.

  When the specific value acquisition unit 520 acquires the specific value corresponding to the first lottery flag value and the first stop operation reel, the second lottery flag value that is a part of the winning lottery result is not reflected. The specific value is acquired by the same process regardless of whether the combination corresponding to the first lottery flag value is a single winning or a duplicate winning. When the special processing means 580 changes the pointer based on the pointer and the second lottery flag value, the result of the second lottery flag value can be reflected in the result of the first lottery flag value. It can be reflected in the stop control through the pointer change process whether it is a win or a duplicate win. That is, since only the first lottery flag value is reflected in the initial specific value, the presence / absence of duplicate winning is not reflected, and the second lottery flag value is reflected on the pointer, so that there is / or absence of duplicate winning. Will be reflected. Whether or not to determine whether or not duplicate winning is determined depends on the specific value reflecting the first lottery flag value.

In the present embodiment, the same processing is performed until the middle of the processing regardless of whether the single winning or the double winning is distinguished, and the difference between the single winning and the overlapping winning can be reflected from the middle of the processing. The amount of data can be reduced as compared with the case where the data of the classification is held in advance.
In the present embodiment, there are a plurality of types of change processing for changing the pointer, and one of the plurality of types of change processing is executed based on the pointer. For this reason, there can be a plurality of types having different contents of the changing process for changing the pointer, and the contents to be changed can be selected by the pointer. As a result, the contents of the pointer change process can be made to correspond to the appropriate one according to the characteristics of the original data, and the most efficient data compression and stop control process according to the data characteristics It is possible to select the content of the change process that maximizes the effect of.

In the present embodiment, in the special processing 1, by directly adding the second lottery flag value (FPH) to the specific value (CW), the contents of the individual lottery results determined by each second lottery flag value are displayed. It can be directly reflected on the specific value (CW). Thereby, the difference in the lottery result between the duplicate winning and the single winning can be reflected during the process.
In addition, by adding a fixed value, even if the second lottery flag value is 0, the specific value (CW) can be changed, and the pointer can be changed by changing the specific value (CW). It becomes possible to make it. The fixed value is “1”, but is not particularly limited to this, and may be a numerical value other than 0 (a positive integer).

  In the present embodiment, in the special process 2, a determined value determined based on whether or not the second lottery flag value is included in a predetermined range is added to the specific value (CW). Thereby, compared with the case where the second lottery flag value is directly added, the group indicated by the predetermined range of the second lottery flag value can be handled as one common data, and separately Rather than providing data, the data can be compressed and the storage capacity can be saved.

As shown in FIG. 13A, the determined values are RB1 to RB4, and the second lottery flag values are “01”, “02”, “03”, and “04” in order. In some cases, the determined value is set to “1”.
Further, in the special process 2, by adding a fixed value, the pointer can be changed even when the second lottery flag value is 0.
In the present embodiment, in the special processing 3, the basic value determined based on the pointer and the partial value determined by a part of the second lottery flag value are added, and the numerical value after the addition is a new pointer. As determined.

  “Partial value determined by a part of the second lottery flag value” means that the second lottery flag value is converted from a two-digit hexadecimal notation to an eight-digit binary notation, and the numerical value in the binary notation The numerical value of a predetermined digit determined by the pointer is used as the partial value. Specifically, in order to set the stop table 440 for the left rotating reel 64, a second lottery flag value (for example, 68 (hexadecimal number)) composed of a 2-digit hexadecimal number is set to an 8-digit binary number. The numerical value (01101000 (binary number), converted to 01abcdef in the symbols described later), the second digit from the right in the 8-digit numerical value (the least significant bit at the right end is the first bit, and in order from the right) 1st bit, 2nd bit, ... 2nd bit when defined as 8th bit (Hereinafter, the same expression is used) "e" and 1st digit (1st bit) from the right A binary two-digit numerical value “ef” = “00” consisting of a numerical value “f” (in decimal numbers, ((e × 2 raised to the first power) + (f × 2 raised to the zeroth power)) is a partial value. As determined.

  In addition, in order to set the stop table 440 for the intermediate rotation reel 66, a second lottery flag value (for example, 68 (hexadecimal number)) consisting of a hexadecimal two-digit numerical value is converted into a binary 8-digit numerical value ( 01101000 (binary number)), the numerical value “c” of the fourth digit (fourth bit) from the right and the numerical value “d” of the third digit (third bit) from the right among the eight digits A binary two-digit numerical value “cd” = “10” (in decimal notation, ((c × 2 raised to the 1st power) + (d × 2 raised to the 0th power)) is determined as a partial value.

Further, in order to set the stop table 440 for the right rotation reel 68, a second lottery flag value (for example, 68 (hexadecimal number)) consisting of a hexadecimal two-digit numerical value is converted into a binary eight-digit numerical value ( 1101000 (binary number)), and in the 8-digit numerical value, the sixth digit (6th bit) from the right “a” and the fifth digit (fifth bit) from the right “b” A binary two-digit numerical value “ab” = “10” (in decimal notation, ((a × 2 raised to the 1st power) + (b × 2 raised to the 0th power)) is determined as the partial value.
In the special process 3, not all of the second lottery flag value but the second lottery flag value is displayed in bits ("--abcdef") and a part thereof ("ab", "cd" or "ef") is displayed. Therefore, even if it is the same second lottery flag value, by collecting a part of a part of the digit part indicated by the bit of the second lottery flag value from a different part, A plurality of types of data (“ab”, “cd”, or “ef”) can be collected from the data of the two lottery flag values (bit display “--abcdef”). As a result, the data can be compressed and the storage capacity can be saved rather than having the data of the respective second lottery flag values individually.

  In the present embodiment, the pointer determination table 542 determines a pointer from a predetermined number of numerical values (specifically, hexadecimal numbers “00” to “FF”). Based on this pointer, the branch process determining means 560 selects one of the following three processes: (1) specific value transition determination process, (2) single stop table 440 selection process, or (3) specific value change process. Have decided. For this reason, a predetermined number of numerical values used as pointers in (1), (2) or (3) are used to branch to either (1), (2) or (3) above. , (1), (2) or (3) must be provided with a pointer so as not to overlap in each of (1), (2) or (3). Since the number of numerical values used as pointers is set to a predetermined number, (1) a specific value shift determination process and (2) a single stop table 440 selection process requires a large number of pointers. (3) The number of remaining pointers that can be allocated to the specific value changing process is reduced.

In such a case, if the process in the (3) specific value changing process is only the first setting process (so-called absolute reference process) in which the pointer is set as a new specific value as it is, it can be set as a new specific value. The number decreases. In the present embodiment, in addition to the first setting process (absolute reference process), an addition value determined based on the pointer is added to the specific value, and the numerical value after the addition is set as a new specific value. 2 setting processing (so-called relative reference processing).
Even if the number of pointers assigned to (3) specific value change processing in the branch processing is small, in the subsequent second setting processing, the added value added based on the pointer is added to the specific value, and the numerical value after this addition Can be set as a new specific value, and variations of the specific value can be increased. As described above, by performing the second setting process (relative reference process) in addition to the first setting process (absolute reference process), as a result, (1) a specific value transition determination process and (2) a single The number (range) of pointers that can be allocated to the selection process of the stop table 440 can be sufficiently secured.

  This increases the degree of freedom of pointer assignment in (1), (2), and (3) above, thereby increasing the degree of freedom in design of stop control, and (1) (2) ( It is possible to easily cope with the pointer fluctuation necessary for 3). Further, when the degree of freedom in designing the stop control is increased in this way, when the pointers as parameters necessary for the processes (1), (2), and (3) cannot be sufficiently secured, the deficiency is concerned. The extra data and programs required to cover the data are no longer necessary, and the necessary data and programs can be placed properly, and the data can be compressed and the storage capacity can be saved. Can do.

  The pointer determination table 542 determines a pointer from hexadecimal numbers “00” to “FF”. That is, the pointer becomes one numerical value (integer) in the range of 16 × 16 = 256 (decimal number) from “00” to “FF” (when used, it is a two-digit hexadecimal numerical value). ) Is determined as a pointer. This is because an 8-bit CPU is used in the control device of the gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, and an 8-bit (2 to the power of 8 = 256 = 16 × 16) numerical value that is easy to handle is 2 in hexadecimal. This is because the numerical value of the digit is most convenient for reducing the storage capacity.

The added value determined based on the pointer in the second setting process of the specific value changing process of the present embodiment is calculated based on the current pointer and a predetermined reference value. By setting the value to an appropriate numerical value, the new specific value (CW) can be changed to a numerical value different from the original specific value (CW).
In the present embodiment, a current pointer, a predetermined reference value, and a current specific value (CW) are added, and a numerical value of a predetermined number of digits after the addition (a two-digit hexadecimal number) Numerical value) is a new specific value (CW). If the added numerical value is within the range of a predetermined number of digits (a two-digit numerical value in hexadecimal), the numerical value as it is is set as a new specific value (CW). In addition, when the numerical value after addition exceeds a predetermined number of digits (2-digit numerical value in hexadecimal), the excess number of digits (the third digit or more in hexadecimal) is omitted and predetermined. Only the numerical value of the number of digits (a 2-digit numerical value in hexadecimal) is set as a new specific value (CW). This is a so-called overflow (overflow). By using this overflow, the number of digits of the numerical value to be used can be limited and a specific value (CW) can be determined in advance. The range of subsequent processing and reference can be limited, and numerical processing can be facilitated.

More specifically, for example, when the current specific value (CW) is 11 (hexadecimal) and the current CW is to be updated (changed) by one, the pointer in the column of the addition value “1” in FIG. “B1” is collected. The reference value is set to 50 (hexadecimal number). (Note that the reference value is set to a numerical value that overflows from 2 digits to 3 digits by adding to the pointer “B0” where the addition value is “0”. That is, 2 digits from “B0”. The final value “FF” is a numerical value that is “FF” − “B0” + 1 = 50 (hexadecimal, 80 in decimal).)
In this case, the sum of 11 (hexadecimal number) as the current specific value (CW), B1 (hexadecimal number) as the pointer, and 50 (hexadecimal number) as the reference value is 112 (hexadecimal number) ) Here, two hexadecimal digits are set as the predetermined number of digits, and this 112 (hexadecimal number) overflows (overflow), and the two-digit numerical value which is the predetermined number of digits is , 12 (hexadecimal number). The numerical value of 12 (hexadecimal number) becomes a new specific value (CW). As a result, the original specific value 11 (hexadecimal number) becomes the new specific value 12 (hexadecimal number), and the specific value (CW) is updated by +1. That is, as a result of adding the addition value “+1” (decimal number) to “11” (hexadecimal number) as the current specific value (CW) by the above arithmetic processing, a new specific value “12” (hexadecimal number) is obtained. It will be.
Here, the 2-digit hexadecimal number is specifically “00” to “FF”, and 0, 1, 2,... 0 is expressed in the eyes, 00, 01, 02,..., 09, which are handled as two-digit numerical values.

In the example described above, “CW +”, so-called +1 update, is described. A specific example of “CW-”, so-called −1 update, will be described below.
More specifically, for example, when the current specific value (CW) is 11 (hexadecimal) and the current CW is to be updated (changed) by -1, the column of the addition value "-1" in FIG. The pointer “AF” is collected. The reference value is set to 50 (hexadecimal number). The reference value is the same as the calculation method described above. In this case, the sum of 11 (hexadecimal number) that is the current specific value (CW), “AF” (hexadecimal number) as a pointer, and “50” (hexadecimal number) as a reference value is “110” (hexadecimal, 272 in decimal). Here, if two hexadecimal digits are set as the predetermined number of digits, this “110” (hexadecimal number) overflows (overflow), and two digits which are the predetermined number of digits. The numerical value of “10” (hexadecimal number). The numerical value of “10” (hexadecimal number) becomes a new specific value (CW). As a result, the original specific value “11” (hexadecimal number) becomes the new specific value “10” (hexadecimal number), and the specific value (CW) is updated (changed) by −1. That is, as a result of adding the addition value “−1” (decimal number) to “11” (hexadecimal number) as the current specific value (CW) by the above arithmetic processing, a new specific value “10” (hexadecimal number) is obtained. ).
By simply storing one common reference value (“50” hexadecimal number) in advance in the entire range of the added value, the calculation value as described above can be used to obtain the added value corresponding to each pointer. Without storing each separately, it is possible to obtain the same result as the processing result in which the added value corresponding to each pointer is added to the specific value and the numerical value after the addition is used as the new specific value. As a result, the storage capacity can be reduced (data compression) rather than storing each added value in the entire range.

In the table switching process as the third setting process of the specific value changing process according to the present embodiment, when the pointer determined by the pointer determination unit 540 is not a selection value, the pointer is determined using the original pointer determination table 542 as it is. It is determined.
When the pointer determined by the pointer determination means 540 is a selection value, switching to the pointer determination table 542 corresponding to this selection value is performed, and the selection value indicates (corresponding to the corresponding pointer determination table 542). ) The pointer is switched (shifted) to the pointer determination table 542, and the pointer is determined using the pointer determination table 542 after the switching. The number of patterns for specific value migration determination processing and selection processing for a single stop table 440 increases, and it becomes impossible to secure a specific value (CW) and pointer range by the initial pointer determination table 542 alone. In this case, the pointer determination table 542 provided separately can increase a large amount of specific values (CW) and pointer variations at a time, and can handle a large number of patterns.

  In the present embodiment, in the specific value shift determination process, a specific value (CW) is newly determined based on the symbol position of the rotating reel 62 when the stop switch 50 is stopped and the pointer determined by the pointer determination means 540. Whether or not to shift (change) to a specific value (CW) is determined.

  If the specific value (CW) is not shifted to the new specific value (CW) as a result of the specific value shift determination process, the pointer (specifically, the shift determination pointer (BTRG)) is changed to another pointer (specifically In this case, a single stop table 440 that is rewritten to a stop table pointer (BTRP) and determined using the other pointer (specifically, the stop table pointer (BTRP)) is used. In such a case, the specific value (CW) is not transferred, but via the pointer (specifically, the shift determination pointer (BTRG)) and another pointer (specifically, the stop table pointer (BTRP)). A single determined stop table 440 is used. That is, switching of the stop table 440 determined based on the specific value (CW) is not performed (see FIG. 21).

  On the other hand, when the specific value (CW) is shifted to a new specific value (CW) as a result of the specific value shift determination process, a predetermined numerical value (specifically, “1”) is added to the current specific value (CW). ) Is set as a new specific value (CW), a new pointer is determined by the pointer determination means 540 based on the new specific value (CW), and after the special processing by the special processing means 580 The branching process is repeated based on the pointer after the special process (see FIG. 21). In such a case, the stop table 440 determined based on the specific value (CW) before shifting to the new specific value (CW) by shifting the specific value (CW) to the new specific value (CW). Therefore, switching to the stop table 440 determined based on the new specific value (CW) is performed.

  That is, it is possible to distinguish between the case where the stop table 440 is not switched and the case where the stop table 440 is switched based on the symbol position of the rotary reel 62 when the stop switch 50 is stopped. . As a result, when the stop switch 50 can be stopped using the stop table 440 corresponding to the previously determined specific value (CW) according to the symbol position of the rotating reel 62 when the stop operation is performed, It is possible to cope with a case where the table cannot be stopped using the table 440. When the stop table 440 cannot be used for stopping, the specific value (CW) is changed, and the same process is performed, and the corresponding stop table 440 is also changed, thereby changing the symbol 61 to be stopped. And appropriate stop processing can be performed.

  In the present embodiment, the specific value (CW) is acquired by the first stop operation acquired by the specific value acquisition unit 520, and then the acquired specific value (CW) and the stop operation (first stop operation, second Based on the rotating reel 62 on which the stop operation and the third stop operation) are performed, the determination process of the stop table 440 is performed, so that the specific value (CW) and the determination process using the specific value (CW) are performed. It is possible to include (reflect) part of the elements of the stop operation order as part of the configuration of the stop control data.

  In the present embodiment, even if the result of the winning lottery is the same, when the stop operation order is CLR, the stop table 440 of the left, middle and right rotating reels 62 is, for example, “01”, “01”, On the other hand, when “04” is used and the stop operation order is CRL, the stop tables 440 of the left, middle, and right rotating reels 62 are formed to be, for example, “03”, “01”, and “04”. (Not shown). Even if the combination lottery results are the same, due to the difference in the stop operation order, a part of the combination of final specific values (CW) of each stop operation is different. The part (in the above-described case, the left rotating reel 64) is different, and the stop symbol can be made different.

  In the present embodiment, the data capacity related to stop control can be compressed by performing stop control using the specific value (CW) and various tables as described above. Not. In the present embodiment, when the final specific value (CW) is determined, a stop symbol corresponding to the specific value (CW) in a one-to-one relationship is specified. For this reason, conventionally, after all the rotating reels 62 are stopped, the winning determination is performed on the effective line 86 (for each effective line 86 if there are a plurality of effective lines 86). Thus, the conventional prize determination itself is no longer necessary. For this reason, in the present embodiment, in the conventional stop control, the array data in which the symbol numbers (frame numbers) as shown in FIG. It is not necessary. Since it is not necessary to store the array data itself as shown in FIG. 2 as it is (no longer necessary), the number of data to be stored is reduced, and a winning determination process as conventionally performed is also unnecessary. In addition to the reduction in storage capacity, the effect of shortening the processing time for stop control is also produced.

In the present embodiment, stop symbols are specified in a one-to-one correspondence for each final specific value (CW). In principle, the number of medals to be paid out is defined in correspondence with the stop symbol.
Here, as a conventional method of determining the number of payouts, the symbol arrangement data as shown in FIG. 2, the data of the effective line 86, the symbol combination data composed of the symbol combinations of the winning combinations, and the payout for each winning combination The sheet number data and the upper limit sheet number data (specifically, 15 sheets) that is the maximum value of the payout number are previously stored. The conventional payout number processing is as follows (a) to (c). (A) Using the symbol arrangement data, the effective line data, and the symbol combination data, a stopped symbol combination is calculated for each effective line. (B) The total payout number is calculated using the payout number data for each stopped symbol combination. (C) When the total payout number is equal to or greater than the upper limit number data, the payout number is rewritten to the upper limit number (for example, although the number of active lines 86 is different from the gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, In a gaming machine having a plurality of (for example, 2), if the winning symbols of 8 are aligned on 2 active lines 86 and a total of 2 sets are awarded, the total number of payouts is The number of sheets actually paid out is rewritten to the upper limit of 15 sheets).

  On the other hand, as a method for determining the number of payouts according to the present embodiment, when the final specific value (CW) is finalized, a stop pattern of 3 symbols × 3 symbols displayed on the symbol display window 16 (so-called stop) The payout number is acquired and the payout number is also acquired. The data on the number of payouts corresponding to the stop event is a winning line by the effective line 86 (if there are a plurality of effective lines 86 as described above, a plurality of winning lines (compound (A winning) is included) and the number of sheets calculated in advance by the upper limit number (specifically, 15 sheets) is stored in advance as data. When the final specific value (CW) is determined, a plurality of stop symbols to be finally stopped are selected (the state at the timing when the so-called third stop operation is performed), and the stop symbol (stop start) is selected. The payout number is determined according to the combination of the stop positions at the stage where the combination of the stop positions of the left, middle and right rotary reels 62 is determined.

More specifically, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 27 (a) and 27 (b), a payout number reference data structure and a payout number reference that defines the correspondence between a specific value (CW) and a payout number are shown. A table is provided.
In the present embodiment, in the data structure for determining the number of winnings, the range of payout number, loss determination, and specific value (CW) is allocated to 8 bits in 1 byte as shown in FIG. . Further, as shown in FIG. 27B, as an example, the correspondence between the determination range of the specific value (CW), the specific value (CW), and the number of payouts is determined in advance.
When the specific value (CW) is accompanied by a medal payout, the payout number reference is performed in the payout number reference table.

  Specifically, when the specific value (CW) is accompanied by a medal payout, the combination of symbols of the winning combination is stopped on the active line 86 at the stop operation timing such as the cherry or watermelon combination. A role that can be missed, which can be lost, a transitional role that can cause the failure (for example, a transitional role to AT), depending on the pushing order (the order of stop operation of each rotary reel 62), When the winning combination is made, the bell combination, etc., which is established regardless of the pushing order, is used for reference of the number of payouts and determination of loss (missing determination) using this payout number reference table.

Specifically, in a predetermined range in which the specific value (CW) is set in advance, the payout number is generally arranged in one block (range) so that the number of payouts is 15, and the specific value (CW) is In another predetermined range determined in advance, the number of payouts is generally arranged in one block (range) so that the number of payouts is two, and another predetermined range in which the specific value (CW) is predetermined. In this case, the blocks are arranged in one block (range) so that the number of payouts is one in principle. The payout number itself can be set within a range of 15 sheets depending on the model.
In the payout number determination data structure of FIG. 27A, if the overwriting that the symbols related to the winning combination could not be aligned with the effective line 86 occurs, the game will be lost, so the payout number determination data structure A flag for determining a loss is provided therein, and when the loss flag is established, no payout is set.

  For example, in the case where the correspondence between the specific value (CW) and the number of payouts is shown as shown in FIG. 27B, the block having the specific value (CW) in the range (1) (CW is F0 to F2). In principle, when 15 medals are set to be paid out, and the range of the specific value (CW) is the block (2) (CW is F3 to F4), in principle, One medal is set to be paid out. However, when the block (CW is F0 to F2) in the range (1) of the specific value (CW) and the lowermost data (F2) is referred to, the block is set to be lost. By having such a loss determination, the data can be compressed and formed so as to be superior to having each payout number including zero lost as data. . In addition, in the case of having a plurality of active lines 86 as in the conventional method of determining the number of payouts, the combination of symbols stopped for each active line 86 is determined, and the number of payouts is determined for each combination of symbols. When the calculated number of payouts is the sum of the number of payouts and exceeds the upper limit number of sheets by combining a plurality of symbols, processing such as rewriting to the upper limit number is not necessary at all in the present embodiment. A processing program for that purpose is also unnecessary, and the processing time can be shortened.

  The payout number reference table is provided for determining whether the number of medals inserted is two or three even if the occurrence of the above-mentioned missing or the combination of stop symbols is the same. Even if various conditions such as a case where the number of payouts is set to be different due to a difference in the number or a difference in the gaming state, it can be surely dealt with. Even if the stop symbols are the same, if the number of payouts varies depending on the specified number, etc., a numerical value for specifying a predetermined data storage location in the payout number storage location of the payout number reference table (used as a kind of pointer) And the number of payouts stored in another location can be collected according to the numerical value.

  That is, in the present embodiment, the specific value (CW) is finally determined, the stop symbol corresponding to the specific value (CW) is specified, and the stop symbol is specified. The number of payouts is also confirmed. Specifically, for example, when the final specific value (CW) is determined at the timing of the first stop operation and the number of payouts is also determined, the number of payouts is determined at the timing of the first stop operation. Become. This is different from the conventional method in which the stop operation of all the rotary reels 62 is completed and the payout number is determined based on the stopped symbols of all the rotary reels 62. That is, it is possible to determine the number of payouts at an early stage as compared with the case where the determination process is performed based on the results of all stop symbols as in the conventional stop control. Thereby, it becomes possible to advance the progress of the game and the production at an earlier stage than before, and the progress and the production of the game can be made effective.

  In the present embodiment, since the final specific value (CW) and the stop symbol correspond one-to-one, the transition to the bonus game is also performed based on the final specific value (CW). That is, when the specific value (CW) finally becomes a predetermined specific value (CW), it can be determined that the game is shifted to the bonus game. Accordingly, when the final specific value (CW) is determined is the first stop operation or the second stop operation, it is earlier than the determination after the winning determination process after the conventional third stop operation. The transition to the bonus game can be determined at the stage, and it is possible to effectively perform the game such as the subsequent effects and the progress of the effects.

Here, if the number of payouts is set to a predetermined fixed number during a predetermined game, the processing using the payout number reference table as described above is not performed and the specific value is set. The number of payouts may be determined according to the state specified by (CW).
In the present embodiment described above, the special role is set as SB as a special feature. However, the special role is not limited to this SB, and may be other special features. Other than the above, a combination (small combination) such as a plurality of bells may be used.

  As the special combination in the present embodiment described above, there are a plurality of SBs which are one type of combination, but not limited to one type of combination, and a plurality of types of combination. May have a plurality. For example, 64 bonus As from bonus A1 to bonus A64 and bonus B from bonus B1 to bonus B64 may be provided as bonuses that are bonuses. Moreover, it may have a plurality of types of roles. For example, 64 bells A1 to Bell A64 may be provided as bells as a small role, and Bell B may be provided from Bell B1 to Bell B64.

Further, in the present embodiment, the lottery result of the role lottery is reflected in two divided into the first lottery flag value (FPL) and the second lottery flag value (FPH), but the lottery result of the role lottery Is divided into two, the first lottery flag value (FPL) and the second lottery flag value (FPH), and is not reflected in the specific value (CW) or the pointer, It is also possible to reflect all combinations of both FPL and one at a time. In this case, the special processing (step 511) by the special processing unit 580 described above is not performed, and the specific value acquisition unit 520 determines the specific value (CW) corresponding to all the lottery results of the winning lottery and the first stop operation reel. ) And the pointer determination means 540 determines a pointer based on the specific value (CW) and the rotating reel 62 on which the stop operation has been performed, and the branch processing determination means based on the pointer, One of the processes is determined in the branch process.
Further, in the present embodiment, when the combination of winning symbols is set as many patterns that are regularly repeated as in SB1 to SB64 described above, it is effective for reducing the storage capacity in the stop control. However, it is not limited to this that is the target of the effect. For example, the present embodiment is effective in reducing the storage capacity even when the number of AT roles for which the stop operation order is set is large and the combination of winning symbols is set as a large number of patterns. It will be something like that.
