Next, the game progress process executed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
As shown in FIG. 3, in the game progress process, the main control CPU 40a performs a game start set process (step S101). In the game start set process, the main control CPU 40a erases or updates information in a predetermined storage area in the main control RAM 40c. Next, the main control CPU 40a starts receiving a medal bet (step S102). Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a checks the gaming state (step S103).

  Next, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not it is during a replay operation (step S104). When the replay operation flag is stored in the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a determines that the replay operation is being performed, and determines that the replay operation flag is not being stored when the replay operation flag is not stored. When the replay operation is in progress, the main control CPU 40a resets the bet number in the previous variation game as the bet number in the current variation game.

  If it is not during the replay operation (step S104: NO), the main control CPU 40a performs a medal management process for setting the number of bets in the current variable game (step S105). In the process of step S105, when the medal detection signal is input from the insertion sensor SE4, the main control CPU 40a adds 1 to the bet number stored in the main control RAM 40c. In step S105, when the operation signal is input from the bet button 18, the main control CPU 40a adds to the bet number so that the bet number stored in the main control RAM 40c becomes the specified bet number X. The credit stored in the main control RAM 40c is subtracted by the added amount.

  When the main control CPU 40a is in a replay operation (step S104: YES), or when the process of step S105 is completed, the bet number in the current variable game is the specified bet number X that allows the start of the variable game. It is determined whether or not they match (step S106). If the bet number does not match the specified bet number X (step S106: NO), the main control CPU 40a proceeds to the process of step S103. In other words, in the process of step S106, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not it is possible to start the variable game. On the other hand, if the bet number in the current variation game matches the specified bet number X (step S106: YES), the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not a start operation by the start lever 21 has been accepted (step S107). ). In the process of step S107, the main control CPU 40a makes an affirmative determination when an operation signal is input from the start lever 21, while a negative determination is made when an operation signal is not input from the start lever 21. When the start operation has not been received (step S107: NO), the main control CPU 40a proceeds to the process of step S103.

  On the other hand, when the start operation is received (step S107: YES), the main control CPU 40a acquires random data for the lottery among the random number data generated in the main control board 40 (step S108). ). In this embodiment, the lottery random number data is numerical data of 2 bytes in total of the upper byte and the lower byte. In other words, the random number data for the role lottery can take a total of 65536 integer values from 0 (0000H) to 65535 (FFFFH). In this specification, “obtain” is intended to be stored (stored) in a predetermined register, but may be stored in the main control RAM 40c.

  When the process of step S108 is completed, the main control CPU 40a performs an internal lottery process (step S109). In the internal lottery process, a role lottery for lottering a role that allows winning in a variable game is performed. In the internal lottery process, a winning lottery is performed, and a winning flag is stored in the main control RAM 40c as information capable of specifying the winning lottery result. Details of the internal lottery process will be described later.

  Next, the main control CPU 40a performs an instruction number determination process (step S110). In the instruction number determination process, the main control CPU 40a initializes an instruction number flag stored in the main control RAM 40c. The instruction number flag is information for enabling specification of an instruction number to be displayed on the payout display unit 30a. The instruction number includes an instruction number in which a stop operation mode of the stop buttons 22a to 22c is determined and an instruction number in which a stop button stop operation mode is not determined.

  When the stop operation mode of the stop buttons 22a to 22c is not notified in the current variation game, the main control CPU 40a determines an instruction number in which the stop operation mode of the stop buttons 22a to 22c is not defined. Further, when the main control CPU 40a notifies the stop operation mode of the stop buttons 22a to 22c in the current variation game, the main control CPU 40a determines an instruction number in which the stop operation mode of the stop buttons 22a to 22c is determined. The main control CPU 40a stores an instruction number flag in the main control RAM 40c as information that can identify the determined instruction number. Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a ends the instruction number determination process. In this embodiment, the main control CPU 40a executes instruction number determination processing, thereby realizing a function as instruction information determination means for determining instruction information to be notified to the player.

  Next, the main control CPU 40a performs an effect command transmission process (step S111). In the effect command transmission process, the main control CPU 40a specifies the instruction number determined in the instruction number determination process by referring to the value of the instruction number flag stored in the main control RAM 40c. The main control CPU 40a generates a control command (hereinafter referred to as an instruction number command) that can specify the specified instruction number, and stores it in the output buffer.

  In the effect command transmission process, the main control CPU 40a generates a control command (hereinafter referred to as a winning command) that can identify the selected winning combination when winning any winning combination in the winning lottery. Store in buffer. In this embodiment, the main control CPU 40a does not generate a winning command when the result of the lottery is off.

  Next, the main control CPU 40a performs an instruction number display process (step S112). In the instruction number display process, the main control CPU 40a specifies the instruction number determined in the instruction number determination process by referring to the value of the instruction number flag stored in the main control RAM 40c. Then, the main control CPU 40a displays the specified instruction number on the payout display unit 30a. That is, the main control CPU 40a notifies the instruction information. In this embodiment, the main control CPU 40a executes instruction number display processing, thereby realizing a function as instruction information notification means for notifying instruction information.

  Next, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the shortest game time has elapsed (step S113). When the shortest game time has not elapsed (step S113: NO), the main control CPU 40a repeats the determination process of step S113 and waits until the shortest game time has elapsed. When the shortest game time has elapsed (step S113: YES), the main control CPU 40a sets the shortest game time (step S114).

  Next, the main control CPU 40a controls each actuator of the reels 16a to 16c so that the rotation of the reels 16a to 16c is started (step S115). In the process of step S115, the main control CPU 40a waits until the rotation speed of the reels 16a to 16c becomes constant at a predetermined rotation speed and a stop operation by the stop buttons 22a to 22c can be accepted.

  Next, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not a stop operation by any of the stop buttons 22a to 22c has been received (step S116). In step S116, the main control CPU 40a makes an affirmative determination when an operation signal is input from any of the stop buttons 22a to 22c, while receiving an operation signal from any of the stop buttons 22a to 22c. If not, a negative determination is made. When the stop operation is not received (step S116: NO), the main control CPU 40a repeats the determination process of step S116 and waits until the stop operation is received.

  On the other hand, when a stop operation is received (step S116: YES), the main control CPU 40a executes a reel stop process for stopping the rotation of the reel corresponding to the stop button to which the operation signal is input (step S117). That is, the main control CPU 40a controls the actuator in response to reception of the stop operation, and stops the symbol by stopping the rotation of the reel corresponding to the received stop operation.

  More specifically, the main control CPU 40a determines the effective line NL from among the symbols within a predetermined drawing range (for example, four symbols) based on the result of the role lottery and the stop operation mode of the stop buttons 22a to 22c. Search for a symbol that can be stopped above. Then, the main control CPU 40a controls the actuator so that the searched symbol is stopped on the effective line NL. The main control CPU 40a performs the reel stop process as described above with respect to the stop operation of the stop buttons 22a to 22c, thereby stopping the symbol combination on the effective line NL according to the result of the winning lottery and the operation mode of the stop button. .

  For example, the main control CPU 40a stops the symbol combination corresponding to the stop operation mode of the stop buttons 22a to 22c on the effective line NL when the winning combination with the stop operation mode required for winning is won. For example, in the case where the main control CPU 40a has not won any of the winning combinations, in principle, regardless of the stop operation mode of the stop buttons 22a to 22c, the symbols that are different from the symbol combinations that determine the award. The combination is stopped on the active line NL. In step S117, when the operation signal is input from the stop buttons 22a to 22c, the main control CPU 40a generates a control command (hereinafter, referred to as an operation command) that can identify the stop button to which the operation signal is input. And store it in the output buffer.

  Next, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not all of the reels 16a to 16c have been stopped (step S118). If one or more of the reels 16a to 16c are not stopped (step S118: NO), the main control CPU 40a proceeds to the process of step S116. On the other hand, when all of the reels 16a to 16c are stopped (step S118: YES), the main control CPU 40a performs a display symbol determination process for determining a symbol combination stopped on the effective line NL ( Step S119). In the display symbol determination process, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the symbol combination (comb) for which a prize has been determined is stopped on the active line NL. That is, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not a winning has occurred. In the display symbol determination process, the main control CPU 40a determines the type of symbol combination when the symbol combination (combination) that determines the prize is stopped on the active line NL.

  Next, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not to pay out medals to the player (step S120). In the process of step S120, the main control CPU 40a makes an affirmative determination when the payout combination has won, while making a negative determination when the payout combination has not won. When a medal is paid out (step S120: YES), the main control CPU 40a performs a medal payout process for driving a hopper unit (not shown) to pay out a medal (step S121). Thereby, a prize medal is awarded as a prize. In addition, when a symbol combination for which no prize is determined is stopped on the active line NL, no prize is awarded.

  In step S121, when the payout combination is won, the main control CPU 40a controls the payout display unit 30a so as to display the number of medals to be paid out by winning. In the payout display section 30a, the instruction number is displayed in a period until all reels are stopped, and the number of medals to be paid out by winning is displayed in a period different from the period. The display of the number of medals to be paid out by winning is ended when a predetermined condition is established by operating the bet button 18 or the like.

  When the main control CPU 40a does not pay out medals (step S120: NO) and when the process of step S121 is completed, the main control CPU 40a performs an end process for ending the variable game (step S122). When the end process ends, the main control CPU 40a proceeds to the process of step S101.

  In the termination process, the main control CPU 40a generates a control command (hereinafter, referred to as a variation game end command) for instructing the end of the variation game, and stores it in the output buffer. The variable game end command can specify the presence / absence of a winning combination and the winning symbol combination (combination). In the termination process, the main control CPU 40a stores the replay operation flag in the main control RAM 40c when the replay combination is won. That is, the main control CPU 40a operates replay (replay). Thereby, replay is awarded as a prize.

  In the termination process, the main control CPU 40a performs a process of shifting the gaming state. The main control CPU 40a updates information (hereinafter referred to as a game state flag) that can identify the game state stored in the main control RAM 40c, and shifts the game state. For example, the main control CPU 40a updates the value of the game state flag to a value that can specify the predetermined general game state when the condition for shifting to the predetermined general game state is satisfied.

  For example, the main control CPU 40a updates the gaming state flag value to a value that can specify the carryover gaming state when the bonus combination is won in the combination lottery and the bonus combination is not won. . That is, the main control CPU 40a causes the carryover gaming state to occur. Further, when the bonus combination is won, the main control CPU 40a updates the value of the gaming state flag to a value that can specify the bonus gaming state. That is, the main control CPU 40a causes a bonus game state to occur. Thereby, a bonus game is awarded as a prize. In addition, for example, in the end process, the main control CPU 40a may perform a process of shifting the effect state (effect mode) of the slot machine 10.

Next, the role lottery in this embodiment will be described in detail.
The role lottery is a lottery for determining a combination that allows winning in a variable game from a plurality of types of combinations. In this embodiment, the combination lottery is performed by determining combination data from a plurality of combination data that can identify one or a plurality of combinations as a combination allowing winning. That is, in this embodiment, when the combination data is determined in the combination lottery, the combination determined in the combination data is won.

First, the combination data will be described in detail.
As shown in FIG. 4, the slot machine 10 of this embodiment is provided with a plurality of combination data including combination data 1, 22 to 29, BB1, and BB2 as combination data. For example, the role data 1 is a replay role, the role data 22 to 24 is a bell role, the role data 25 and 27 is a watermelon role, the role data 26 and 28 is a cherry role, and the role data 29 is a chance. The role is determined. A first bonus combination is defined in the combination data BB1, and a second bonus combination is defined in the combination data BB2.

Next, a specific example of the role lottery table will be described.
As shown in FIG. 5, the combination lottery table is stored in the main control ROM 40b. In the combination lottery table, an element including a first element and a second element as described below for each lottery order from 1 to n (where n is an integer of 2 or more) determined in advance. A combination is determined as a lottery target. As will be described in detail later, in this embodiment, whether or not to win each element combination is determined in order according to a predetermined lottery order.

  Specifically, the first element constituting the lottery object in the role lottery is whether or not the bonus combination is won. The first element is the type of bonus combination for winning. In the combination lottery table, first lottery combination data is defined as information (value) that can identify the first element for each lottery order. For example, in the winning lottery table, in the lottery orders 10 to 14, “1” that is a value indicating the winning data BB1 (first bonus winning) is defined as the first lottery winning data. For example, in the winning lottery table, in the lottery orders 15 to 17, “2”, which is a value indicating the winning data BB2 (second bonus winning), is defined as the first lottery winning data. In the winning lottery table, in the lottery orders 1 to 9, “0”, which is a value indicating “miss” that is not won in any of the winning data BB1 and BB2 (bonus winning), is defined.

  Further, the second element constituting the lottery for the lottery is whether or not to win a small role and a replay role (a role excluding the bonus role). In addition, the second element is a type of a winning combination among a small winning combination and a replay winning combination (excluding a bonus winning combination). In the combination lottery table, second lottery combination data is defined as information (value) that can specify the second element for each lottery order. For example, in the lottery orders 1 to 17, a value indicating any of the combination data 1 to 29 is defined as the second lottery combination data. Specifically, for example, in the lottery order 2, “22” which is a value indicating the combination data 22 (first bell combination) is defined as the second lottery combination data. For example, in the lottery order 15, “25” that is a value indicating the combination data 25 (first watermelon combination) is defined as the second lottery combination data.

  Therefore, for example, in the lottery order 7, “the winning data BB1, BB2 (bonus combination) is not won and the combination data 27 (first watermelon combination) is won” is determined as a lottery target. . For example, in the lottery order 13, it is determined as a lottery object that “the winning data BB1 (first bonus combination) is won and the winning combination data 28 (second cherry combination) is won”. Thus, the lottery object in the combination lottery can be grasped as a combination of the first type combination (bonus combination) and the second type combination (a combination different from the bonus combination).

  Further, probability data is defined in the winning lottery table for each lottery order from 1 to n. The probability data is a determination value for determining whether or not to win a lottery object in the current lottery order. In this embodiment, the probability data is 2-byte numerical data. As will be described in detail later, in the figure, the symbol “↑” shown in the column of probability data indicates that the previous probability data indicated by the symbol of the arrow is maintained and used.

  In addition, the lottery control data (function code) for controlling processing related to the role lottery is defined for each lottery order in the role lottery table. In the drawing, “repetition = N (where N is an integer of 2 or more)” shown in the lottery control data column defines lottery control data that can specify that the same probability data is repeatedly used N times. Is shown. For example, “repetition = 3” indicates that lottery control data that can specify that the same probability data is repeatedly used three times is defined. In the following description, lottery control data that can specify “repetition = N” may be simply referred to as “repetition data”.

  In the drawing, “End” shown in the lottery control data column indicates that lottery control data that can specify that the lottery order is the last of all the lottery orders from 1 to n is defined. Show. In the following description, the lottery control data that can identify “end” may be simply indicated as “end data”. Note that a blank in the lottery control data column indicates that lottery control data that can specify that no special processing is performed is defined.

Next, the internal lottery process (step S109) performed in the game progress process will be described.
As shown in FIG. 6, in the internal lottery process, the main control CPU 40a acquires the current gaming state (step S201). In the process of step S201, the main control CPU 40a specifies the current gaming state based on the value of the gaming state flag stored in the main control RAM 40c.

  Next, the main control CPU 40a selects a role lottery table associated with the gaming state acquired in the process of step S201 (step S202). Next, the main control CPU 40a acquires the data address of the lottery order 1 as the initial lottery data in the selected combination lottery table (step S203). Specifically, the main control CPU 40a acquires the top address of the winning lottery table selected according to the gaming state.

  Next, the main control CPU 40a refers to the role lottery table based on the acquired lottery data (data address of the current lottery order) and acquires lottery control data determined in the current lottery order (step S204). . Next, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the acquired lottery control data is repetitive data (step S205). When the acquired lottery control data is repetitive data (step S205: YES), the main control CPU 40a stores the repeat count N that can be specified from the acquired repetitive data in the main control RAM 40c (step S206). For example, when the CPU 40a for main control acquires “repetition = 3” repetition data, the main control CPU 40a stores “2” as the repetition count N in the main control RAM 40c. For example, when the CPU 40a for main control acquires the repetition data “Repetition = 2”, the main control CPU 40a stores “1” as the repetition count N in the main control RAM 40c.

  On the other hand, when the acquired lottery control data is not repetitive data (step S205: NO) and when the process of step S206 is completed, the main control CPU 40a acquires the acquired lottery data (data address of the current lottery order). ) To refer to the combination lottery table and acquire combination data and probability data (step S207). In the process of step S207, the main control CPU 40a acquires the first lottery data determined in the current lottery order as the combination data, and sets the value that can identify the acquired first lottery combination data as the main control. The first lottery combination flag stored in the RAM 40c is set. In this embodiment, the first lottery combination flag corresponds to information that can specify the first element, and the main control RAM 40c functions as a first element storage unit. Further, in the process of step S207, the main control CPU 40a acquires the second lottery combination data determined in the current lottery order as the combination data, and sets a value that can specify the acquired second lottery combination data. The second lottery combination flag stored in the main control RAM 40c is set. Further, the main control CPU 40a acquires probability data determined in the current lottery order.

  Next, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not to win the lottery object in the current lottery order (step S208). Specifically, in the current internal lottery process, the main control CPU 40a acquires the random number data acquired in the process of step S108 of the game progress process and the process of step S207 in the case of the first process in step S208. The addition data Ad is calculated by adding the probability data. In the current internal lottery process, the main control CPU 40a obtains the addition data Ad calculated in the previous step S208 and the probability data acquired in the process in step S207 when the process is the second or subsequent step S208. Addition is performed to calculate new addition data Ad.

  Then, in the process of step S208, the main control CPU 40a determines that the winning is made when the addition data Ad exceeds the maximum value of random number data (65535 in this embodiment), while the addition data Ad is random number data. When the maximum value is not exceeded, it is determined that the winning is not won. In this way, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not to win the element combination targeted for the lottery using the random number data and the probability data determined for the element combination targeted for the lottery in the internal lottery process. Judgment is made.

  When it is determined that the lottery object in the current lottery order is winning (step S208: YES), the main control CPU 40a stores in the main control RAM 40c a value (information) that can identify the combination data that is the lottery object determined to be the winner. The stored winning flag is set (step S209). In the process of step S209, the main control CPU 40a specifies the combination data determined to be winning based on the values of the first lottery combination flag and the second lottery combination flag stored in the main control RAM 40c. A value (information) that can identify the winning combination data is set in the winning flag. Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a ends the internal lottery process.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the lottery object in the current lottery order is not won (step S208: NO), the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the lottery control data acquired in the process of step S204 is end data. Determination is made (step S210). When the lottery control data is end data (step S210: YES), the main control CPU 40a proceeds to the process of step S209. When the process proceeds to the process of step S209 via the process of step S210, the main control CPU 40a does not determine the winning in all the lottery orders. The winning flag stored in the RAM 40c is set.

  On the other hand, if the lottery control data acquired in the process of step S204 is not end data (step S210: NO), the main control CPU 40a determines whether there is a repetition count N stored in the main control RAM 40c. Is determined (step S211). In the process of step S211, the main control CPU 40a makes an affirmative determination when the number of repetitions N is 1 or more, and makes a negative determination when the number of repetitions N is 0.

  When there is a repeat count N (step S211: YES), the main control CPU 40a updates the repeat count N stored in the main control RAM 40c by subtracting 1 (step S212). Next, the main control CPU 40a acquires the data address of the next lottery order as the next lottery data (step S213). For example, in the process of step S213, the main control CPU 40a acquires the next data address by an offset process of adding 1 to the current data address.

  Next, the main control CPU 40a refers to the winning lottery table based on the acquired lottery data (data address of the next lottery order) and acquires the winning data (step S214). Specifically, in the process of step S214, the main control CPU 40a acquires the first lottery data determined in the current lottery order as the role data, and is a value that can specify the acquired first lottery data. Is set in the first lottery combination flag stored in the main control RAM 40c. Further, in the process of step S214, the main control CPU 40a acquires the second lottery data set in the current lottery order as the role data, and sets a value that can specify the acquired second lottery role data as the main data. The second lottery combination flag stored in the control RAM 40c is set.

  On the other hand, in the process of step S214, the main control CPU 40a does not newly acquire probability data. That is, in the process of step S214, the main control CPU 40a maintains the already acquired probability data. When the process of step S214 ends, the main control CPU 40a proceeds to the process of step S208. As described above, the main control CPU 40a according to this embodiment does not newly acquire probability data even when shifting to the next lottery order when repeated data is determined as the lottery control data. The probability data is repeatedly used over N repetition times that can be specified from the repetition data.

  On the other hand, when there is no repetition count N (step S211: NO), the main control CPU 40a acquires the data address of the next lottery order as the next lottery data (step S215). Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a proceeds to the process of step S204. When the process proceeds to step S204, the main control CPU 40a executes the process of step S207 to acquire the combination data and the probability data from the combination lottery table. That is, the main control CPU 40a newly acquires probability data in addition to the combination data.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the main control CPU 40a executes a game progress process, thereby realizing a function as a determination unit that performs a predetermined determination process. And the internal lottery process as a specific determination process among the predetermined determination processes is selected according to a predetermined order for a plurality of types of element combinations including the first element and the second element. This is a process for sequentially determining whether or not.

The slot machine 10 of this embodiment has the following effects.
As shown in FIG. 5, for example, in the combination lottery table, the number of element combinations configured to include the combination data BB1 as the first element is “5”, and includes the combination data 25 as the second element. The number of element combinations is “3”. That is, in the above-described combination lottery table, the number of element combinations including the specific first element among the element combinations that can be selected in the internal lottery process includes the specific second element. More than the number of element combinations. According to a different aspect, the type of the first element is less than the type of the second element.

  In the combination lottery table, “1”, which is a value indicating the combination data BB1 (first bonus combination), continues as the first lottery combination data in the lottery orders 10 to 14 without interposing other values. Is set to Similarly, in the combination lottery table, “2”, which is a value indicating the combination data BB2 (second bonus combination), continues as the first lottery combination data in the lottery orders 15 to 17 without interposing other values. It is set to be.

  In other words, in this embodiment, whether or not to win is determined according to the order set so that element combinations configured to include the same first element are consecutively selected. It has become. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is possible to prevent the first element (bonus combination) to be a lottery object from being frequently changed by executing the processes of steps S207 and S214 of the internal lottery process. In addition, in the lottery orders 1 to 9, “0”, which is a value indicating a loss that does not win any of the combination data BB1 and BB2, as the first lottery combination data is continuous without interposing other values. Is set. For this reason, in this embodiment, it is possible to determine whether or not “out of” which does not win any of the combination data BB1 and BB2 is to be won efficiently.

  In the above-described combination lottery table, the lottery orders 1 to 17 are set so that the lottery is selected in the order from the largest to the smallest number of element combinations including the same first element. Therefore, in this embodiment, whether or not to win is determined in the order from the largest to the smallest number of element combinations including the same first element. Therefore, when determining whether or not to win, frequent change of the first element included in the lottery object is further suppressed.

  Here, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, when the lottery order is set so that the same combination data BB1 and BB2 as the first element are not consecutively drawn, steps S207 and S214 of the internal lottery process. By executing this process, the first element (bonus combination) to be a lottery is frequently changed, and the internal lottery process becomes complicated. In this embodiment, such a problem is suitably solved by configuring as described above.

  Further, as described above, in this embodiment, the first element is a bonus combination, and the second element is a combination (small combination and replay combination) different from the bonus combination. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is possible to simplify the determination process (so-called role lottery) for determining whether or not to win a bonus combination and a combination different from the bonus combination.

The slot machine 10 of this embodiment has the following effects.
(1) According to the embodiment, the number of element combinations configured to include a specific first element is greater than the number of element combinations configured to include a specific second element, and is the same. Whether or not to win is determined according to the lottery order set so that the element combinations including the first element are successively selected. For this reason, when making a determination in a predetermined order for a plurality of types of element combinations, frequent changes of the first element included in the lottery object are suppressed. Therefore, the determination process can be simplified.

  (2) According to the embodiment, whether or not to win is determined in the descending order of the number of element combinations configured to include the same first element. Therefore, when determining whether or not to win, frequent change of the first element included in the lottery object is further suppressed. Therefore, the determination process can be further simplified.

  (3) According to the embodiment, it is possible to simplify the internal lottery process (so-called role lottery) for determining whether or not to win a bonus combination and a combination different from the bonus combination. Since such an internal lottery process is executed every time a variable game is performed, the processing load as a gaming machine can be effectively reduced.

(4) According to the embodiment, the process can be simplified for the internal lottery process using random number data.
(5) According to the embodiment, when the same probability data is used in the internal lottery process, the acquired probability data is maintained without newly acquiring the probability data. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the process of acquiring probability data and simplify the determination process.

The embodiment described above may be changed to another embodiment as follows, for example.
-The lottery order is selected from among the element combinations that include the same first element, from the element combination with a large value as probability data, to the element combination with a small value. It may be set. In other words, the lottery order as a predetermined order is set so that the lottery is selected in the order of element combinations that are highly likely to be determined to be winning, and elements combinations that are unlikely to be determined to be winning. Good. According to this embodiment, whether or not to win is determined in the order of element combinations that are highly likely to be determined to be winning and those that are unlikely to be determined to be winning. Therefore, in determining whether or not to win, it is possible to increase the possibility that the winning process is completed before the first element constituting the lottery object is changed and the determination process can be terminated. Therefore, the determination process can be further simplified.

  -The lottery order should just be set so that the element combination comprised including the same 1st element may become lottery object continuously, and you may change the continuous frequency | count. For example, the number of times that an element combination including the same first element is successively selected may be two times, or four times or six times or more.

The first element may be one type of bonus combination or three or more types of bonus combinations. The first element may be a small combination or a replay combination.
In the internal lottery process, the main control CPU 40a determines that the first element constituting the element combination that is the current lottery target is different from the first element that constitutes the element combination that was the previous lottery target In addition, the first lottery combination data that makes it possible to specify the first element constituting the element combination to be selected this time is set and stored in the first lottery combination flag stored in the main control RAM 40c. Also good. For example, in the example of the lottery table shown in FIG. 5, it is preferable to provide lottery control data that can specify that the first lottery data is repeatedly used X times (where X is an integer of 2 or more). Specifically, the lottery order 1 has lottery control data that can specify the number of repetitions X = 9, the lottery order 10 has lottery control data that can specify the number of repetitions X = 5, and the lottery order 15 has the number of repetitions X. The lottery control data that can specify = 3 is set. Then, the main control CPU 40a subtracts 1 from the number of repetitions X every time the process of step S208 is performed. If the number of repetitions X is not 0, the first lottery combination data is not acquired and maintained. 2 Get lottery data and probability data. That is, the main control CPU 40a does not update the first lottery combination flag. On the other hand, when the number of repetitions X = 0, the main control CPU 40a acquires the first lottery combination data, the second lottery combination data, and the probability data. That is, the main control CPU 40a updates the first lottery combination flag. In addition, you may change similarly about the 2nd lottery combination flag regarding a 2nd element. According to this, when the determination process is performed according to a predetermined order, when the first element constituting the element combination is changed, the storage content of the main control RAM 40c may be updated. It is possible to suppress frequent rewriting of information that makes it possible to specify one element. Therefore, the determination process can be further simplified.

  -The lottery control data (function code) may not be defined in the role lottery table. That is, in the internal lottery process, the main control CPU 40a may reacquire probability data every time the next lottery order is entered regardless of whether the probability data is the same.

In the role lottery table, different probability data may be defined for each lottery order.
・ You may change the procedure for determining whether or not you win. For example, the main control CPU 40a calculates the subtraction data Sb by subtracting the probability data from the random number data in the first process of step S208, while the calculated subtraction is performed in the second and subsequent processes of step S208. Subtraction data Sb is calculated by subtracting probability data from data Sb. Then, the main control CPU 40a may determine that the winning is achieved when the calculated subtraction data Sb is 0 or less, and may determine that the winning is not achieved when the calculated subtraction data Sb is not 0 or less.

  The embodiment may be embodied in a determination process different from the role lottery. That is, you may change the 1st element and 2nd element which comprise the element combination used as a lottery object. For example, the type of the production mode as the production state to be the transition destination may be set as the first element, and the number of variable games for maintaining the production mode of the migration destination may be set as the second element. For example, the type of gaming state that becomes the transition destination may be set as the first element, and the number of variable games that maintain the gaming state of the transition destination may be set as the second element.

The element combination may include another element in addition to the first element and the second element.
The slot machine 10 may include a dedicated display device that displays the instruction number.

The slot machine 10 may include four or more reels.
The slot machine 10 may include a single control board that integrates the functions of the main control board 40 and the sub-control board 41. Further, the function of the main control board 40 may be realized by dividing it into a plurality of boards. The main control CPU 40a may be composed of a plurality of CPUs mounted on a single substrate.

The main control CPU 40a, the main control ROM 40b, and the main control RAM 40c may be configured as a one-chip microcomputer.
The function of the sub control board 41 may be realized by dividing it into a plurality of boards. For example, the slot machine 10 may include a display board that specially controls the effect display device 13, a lamp board that specially controls the decorative lamp 14, and an audio board that specially controls the speaker 15. You may further provide the control board which controls a group collectively. The sub control CPU 41a may be composed of a plurality of CPUs mounted on a single substrate.

The slot machine 10 may be a gaming machine that uses a gaming medium different from medals. For example, the game medium may be a game ball.
-It may be embodied as a pachinko gaming machine. The pachinko gaming machine includes a game board, a start port, a display device that displays a variable game, a special winning opening, and a control device. The control device makes a jackpot determination when the game ball has entered the start opening, and when winning the jackpot determination, displays the jackpot symbol in the variable game, and after the jackpot variable game ends, Grant a jackpot game to be released. In this case, a big hit can be set as the first element, and a symbol can be set as the second element. In addition, the variation time of the variable game can be set as the first element, and the contents of the effect accompanying the variable game can be set as the second element.

The following technical idea can be understood from the above-described embodiment.

  (B) First element storage means for storing information enabling identification of the first element is provided, and the determination means is configured such that the first element constituting the element combination to be selected this time is the previous lottery If the first element constituting the target element combination is different from the first element, information for enabling identification of the first element constituting the element combination to be selected this time is stored in the first element storage means. Let me.

  (C) If the determination value determined for the element combination that is the object of the current lottery is the same value as the determination value determined for the element combination that was the object of the previous lottery, While the determination value is used again to determine whether or not to win, the determination value determined for the element combination that is the current lottery target is the determination value determined for the element combination that was the previous lottery target If the values are different, a determination value determined for the element combination that is the current lottery target is acquired, and it is determined whether or not to win by using the acquired determination value.
