Description

  In the present invention, a game can be started by setting a predetermined number of bets for one game using game value, and a variable display capable of variably displaying plural types of identification information that can be identified. The present invention relates to a slot machine in which one game is ended by deriving a display result to a device, and a prize can be generated according to the display result derived to the variable display device.

  In general, a slot machine is provided with a variable display device having a plurality of (usually three) reels in which a plurality of types of symbols are drawn on the outer peripheral portion as identification information. The rotation of the reels is started by setting and starting operation with the specified bet number set, and the rotation is stopped by operating the stop switch provided corresponding to each reel. Then, when the rotation of all the reels is stopped, the winning combination is generated by the combination of predetermined winning symbols (for example, 7-7-7, hereinafter also referred to as a combination of symbols being combined) on the winning line. Do. That is, the game is advanced by the operation of the player.

  In these winning combinations, a special combination (for example, a bonus) accompanied by a transition to a specific gaming state advantageous to the player, a small combination accompanied by the provision of gaming values such as medals, and playing a game without using the gaming value There is a replay role with the grant of possible replay. It is common for these winning combinations to be able to win a winning combination on condition that the winning combination is won at the same time as the start operation.

  As this type of slot machine, there is known an assist time (hereinafter referred to as "AT") capable of executing navigation effects and a slot machine for controlling a bonus which is an advantageous state advantageous to a player (for example, Patent Document 1). . In the slot machine of Patent Document 1, the bonus is ended when a predetermined number of medals are paid out, and the AT lottery is executed to determine whether or not to control the AT when the AT lottery condition is established during the bonus. It is decided whether to control to AT.

  By the way, in the slot machine of Patent Document 1, even if the small winning combination is won during the bonus, the number of medals paid out during the bonus is counted if the small winning combination does not win and the medal is not paid out. Absent. Therefore, the number of AT lottery can be increased by operating the stop switch according to a procedure (timing) in which the small winning combination does not win during the bonus and intentionally extending the bonus period. However, the game is performed under the same conditions and the bonus is ended in the case where the stop switch is operated in the procedure where the small winning combination is won and in the case where the stop switch is operated in the procedure where the small winning combination is not intentionally won. This causes the player to feel unfair and reduces the interest in the game.

  The game control board 40 includes a main control unit 41, a control clock generation circuit 42, a random number clock generation circuit 43, a switch detection circuit 44, a motor drive circuit 45, a solenoid drive circuit 46, an LED drive circuit 47, and a power failure detection circuit. 48, a reset circuit 49 is mounted.

  The main control unit 41 is constituted by a one-chip microcomputer, executes a control program stored in the ROM 506, which will be described later, and performs processing relating to the progress of the game, as well as controlling circuits mounted on the game control board 40. Control each part directly or indirectly.

  The control clock generation circuit 42 generates a control clock CCLK that is an oscillation signal of a predetermined frequency outside the main control unit 41. The control clock CCLK generated by the control clock generation circuit 42 is supplied to the clock circuit 502 via the control external clock terminal EXC of the main control unit 41 as shown in FIG. 5, for example. The random number clock generation circuit 43 generates a random number clock RCLK outside the main control unit 41, which is an oscillation signal of a predetermined frequency different from the oscillation frequency of the control clock CCLK. The random number clock RCLK generated by the random number clock generation circuit 43 is supplied to the random number circuit 509 via the random number external clock terminal ERC of the main control unit 41 as shown in FIG. 5, for example. As an example, the oscillation frequency of the random number clock RCLK generated by the random number clock generation circuit 43 may be equal to or less than the oscillation frequency of the control clock CCLK generated by the control clock generation circuit 42.

  The switch detection circuit 44 takes in detection signals input from switches connected directly to the game control board 40 or via the power supply board 101, and transmits the detection signals to the main control unit 41.

The reset circuit 49 gives a system reset signal to the main control unit 41 when the power is unstable, such as when the power is turned on or off. Further, the reset circuit 49 incorporates a watchdog timer, and gives a user reset signal to the main control unit 41 when the time of the watchdog timer is up, that is, when the operation of the CPU 505 of the main control unit 41 is stopped for a predetermined time.

  FIG. 5 shows a configuration example of the main control unit 41 mounted on the game control board 40.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the main control unit 41 is a one-chip microcomputer, and has an external bus interface 501, a clock circuit 502, a unique information storage circuit 503, a reset / interrupt controller 504, a CPU 505, and a ROM 506. And RAM 507, CTC (counter / timer circuit) 508, random number circuit 509, PIP (parallel input port) 510, serial communication circuit 511, and address decoding circuit 512.

  An external bus interface 501 provided in the main control unit 41 shown in FIG. 5 includes an interface function between an external bus and an internal bus of a chip constituting the main control unit 41, an address bus, a data bus, a direction control function of each control signal, etc. Is a bus interface having For example, the external bus interface 501 is connected to an external memory or an external input / output device externally attached to the main control unit 41, and transmits / receives address signals, data signals, various control signals, etc. to / from these external devices. Anything is fine. In this embodiment, the external bus interface 501 includes an internal resource access control circuit 501A.

  The internal resource access control circuit 501A controls the access to the internal data of the main control unit 41 from the external device via the external bus interface 501, and for example, the internal data such as a game control program or fixed data stored in the ROM 506. It is a circuit for limiting improper external reading. Here, a circuit analysis device such as an in-circuit emulator (ICE) may be connected to the external bus interface 501 as an external device.

  The clock circuit 502 included in the main control unit 41 is a circuit that generates an internal system clock SCLK, for example, by dividing an oscillation signal input to the control external clock terminal EXC by two. In this embodiment, the control clock CCLK generated by the control clock generation circuit 42 is input to the control external clock terminal EXC. The internal system clock SCLK generated by the clock circuit 502 is supplied to various circuits, such as the CPU 505, which control the progress of the game in the main control unit 41. The internal system clock SCLK is also supplied to the random number circuit 509 and used to monitor the frequency of the random number clock RCLK supplied from the random number clock generation circuit 43. Furthermore, the internal system clock SCLK may be output from the system clock output terminal CLKO connected to the clock circuit 502 to the outside of the main control unit 41.

  The unique information storage circuit 503 included in the main control unit 41 is a circuit that stores, for example, plural types of unique information serving as internal information of the main control unit 41. As an example, the unique information storage circuit 503 stores three types of unique information such as a ROM code, a chip individual number, and an ID number. The ROM 506 code is a 4-byte numerical value generated from storage data in a predetermined area of the ROM 506, and four numerical values different in generation method may be prepared. The chip individual number is a 4-byte number assigned at the time of manufacture of the main control unit 41, and shows a different numerical value for each chip constituting the main control unit 41. The ID number is an 8-byte number assigned at the time of manufacture of the main control unit 41, and indicates a different numerical value for each chip constituting the main control unit 41. Here, the chip individual number may be read from the user program, while the ID number may be set so as not to be read from the user program. The unique information storage circuit 503 may be included in the ROM 506 by using a predetermined area of the ROM 506, for example. Alternatively, the unique information storage circuit 503 may be included in the CPU 505, for example, by using a built-in register of the CPU 505.

  The reset / interrupt controller 504 provided in the main control unit 41 is for controlling various resets and interrupt requests generated inside and outside the main control unit 41. The reset controlled by the reset / interrupt controller 504 includes a system reset and a user reset. The system reset is a reset that occurs when a low level signal (system reset signal) is input to the external system reset terminal XSRST for a certain period. User reset is performed when a low level signal (user reset signal) is input to the external user reset terminal XURST for a certain period, or that a built-in watchdog timer (WDT) time-out signal is generated, or traveling outside the designated area This is a reset that occurs due to a predetermined factor such as the occurrence of a prohibition (IAT). In this embodiment, since the watchdog timer (WDT) mounted in the reset circuit 49 is used without using the built-in watchdog timer as described above, the user reset signal is input to the external user reset terminal XURST. Or, the user's reset will occur when the travel outside the designated area (IAT) occurs.

  The interrupts controlled by the reset / interrupt controller 504 include a non-maskable interrupt NMI and a maskable interrupt INT. The non-maskable interrupt NMI is an interrupt that is unconditionally accepted even when the CPU 505 is in the interrupt disable state, and when a low level signal is input to the external non-maskable interrupt terminal XNMI (shared with input port P4) for a fixed period. It is an interrupt that occurs. The maskable interrupt INT is an interrupt that can allow / prohibit acceptance of an interrupt request according to a setting instruction of the CPU 505, and can execute multiple interrupts with priority setting. The cause of the maskable interrupt INT is that the low level signal has been input to the external maskable interrupt terminal XINT (also used as the input port P3) for a certain period, and that a timer circuit included in the CTC 508 has timed out. A plurality of interrupt factors are determined in advance, such as occurrence of an interrupt factor due to data transmission in serial communication circuit 511 and occurrence of an interrupt factor due to loading of numerical data that becomes random numbers in random number circuit 509. It should be good.

  The CPU 505 of the main control unit 41 executes a program read from the ROM 506 to execute a process for controlling the progress of the game in the slot machine 1 or the like. At this time, a fixed data reading operation in which the CPU 505 reads fixed data from the ROM 506, a variation data writing operation in which the CPU 505 writes various variation data to the RAM 507 and temporarily stores it, and various variation data temporarily stored in the RAM 507 by the CPU 505 Variable data reading operation to read out the data, reception operation in which the CPU 505 receives input of various signals from the outside of the main control unit 41 via the external bus interface 501 or PIP 510 etc., the CPU 505 via the external bus interface 501 or the serial communication circuit 511 etc. A transmission operation for outputting various signals to the outside of the main control unit 41 is also performed.

  As described above, in the main control unit 41, the CPU 505 executes control in accordance with the program stored in the ROM 506, so that the main control unit 41 (or the CPU 505) executes (or performs) processing specifically hereinafter In practice, the CPU 505 executes control in accordance with a program. The same applies to a microcomputer mounted on another board other than the game control board 40.

  The ROM 506 of the main control unit 41 stores a user program for game control, fixed data, and the like. The ROM 506 also stores a security check program 506A. The CPU 505 reads the security check program 506A stored in the ROM 506 when the main control unit 41 shifts to the security mode in response to power on of the slot machine 1 or occurrence of system reset, and the stored content of the ROM 506 is changed Execute security check processing to check whether or not it is not. The security check program 506A may be stored in an internal memory different from the ROM 506. Also, the security check program 506A may correspond to a security check process of inspecting the storage content of the external memory externally attached to the main control unit 41 via the external bus interface 501, for example.

  The RAM 507 provided in the main control unit 41 provides a work area for game control. Here, at least a part of the RAM 507 may be a backup RAM backed up by a backup power supply. That is, even if the power supply to the slot machine is stopped, the content of at least a part of the RAM 507 is stored for a predetermined period. In the present embodiment, the entire area of the RAM 507 is a backup RAM, and even if the power supply to the slot machine is stopped, the entire contents of the RAM 507 are stored for a predetermined period.

  The CTC 508 included in the main control unit 41 includes, for example, three channels (PTC0 to PTC2) of 8-bit programmable timers, and includes a timer circuit that enables real-time interrupt generation and time measurement. Each of the programmable timers PTC0 to PTC2 has its timer value updated in response to a signal change of the count clock generated based on the internal system clock SCLK (for example, a falling timing at which it changes from high level to low level) That's fine. Also, the CTC 508 may incorporate, for example, four channels (PCC0 to PCC3) of 8-bit programmable counters. Each of the programmable counters PCC0 to PCC3 may be of any type as long as the count value is updated in response to a change in the signal of the internal system clock SCLK or occurrence of a timeout in any of the programmable counters PCC0 to PCC3. The CTC 508 resets the start value of the random number generated by the free run counter used to randomly determine the extension time (variable set time) in extending the security time at each system reset, and resets the start value of the random number generated by the random number circuit 509. You may include the free run counter etc. which are used in order to determine at random each time. Alternatively, these free run counters may be included in an internal circuit of the main control unit 41 different from the CTC 508, for example, a backup area of the RAM 507.

  The random number circuit 509 included in the main control unit 41 is a circuit that generates numerical data that is a random number value having a predetermined update range, such as a 16-bit random number, for example. In the present embodiment, on the side of the game control board 40, numerical data indicating a random number for internal lottery to be described later is controlled so as to be able to be counted. Note that other random values may be used to enhance the gaming effect. The CPU 505 processes or updates various numerical data by software using a random counter different from the random number circuit 509 based on the numerical data extracted from the random number circuit 509, thereby indicating numerical data indicating random numbers for internal lottery. May be counted. In the following, it is assumed that numerical data indicating a random number value for internal lottery does not process numerical data extracted by the CPU 505 from the random number circuit 509 serving as hardware by software. The random number circuit 509 may be built in the main control unit 41, or may be externally attached to the main control unit 41 as a random number circuit chip different from the main control unit 41. .

  The random number value for the internal lottery is a value used to determine whether or not generation of a plurality of types of winning is permitted, and in the present embodiment, takes a value in the range of “0” to “65535”.

  The PIP 510 included in the main control unit 41 is, for example, a 6-bit wide input-only port, and includes an input port P0 to an input port P2 serving as a dedicated terminal and an input port P3 to an input port P5 serving as a function shared terminal. . The input port P3 is also used as an external maskable interrupt terminal XINT connected to the CPU 505 or the like. The input port P4 is also used as an external non-maskable interrupt terminal XNMI connected to the CPU 505 or the like. The input port P5 is also used as a first channel reception terminal RXA used by the serial communication circuit 511. The use setting of the input port P3 to the input port P5 is instructed by the function setting KFCS stored in the program management area.

  An address decode circuit 512 included in the main control unit 41 shown in FIG. 5 is a circuit for decoding each functional block in the main control unit 41 and decoding a chip select signal which is a decode signal for an external device. . By the chip select signal, the internal circuit of the main control unit 41 or an external device serving as a peripheral device is selectively enabled to allow access from the CPU 505.

  The ROM 506 of the main control unit 41 stores, in addition to the user program for game control and the security check program 506A, various selection data, table data and the like used to control the progress of the game. For example, the ROM 506 stores data constituting a plurality of determination tables, determination tables, setting tables, and the like prepared for the CPU 505 to make various determinations, determinations, and settings. Further, in the ROM 506, table data and the like constituting a plurality of command tables used for the CPU 505 to transmit control signals as various control commands from the game control board 40 are stored.

In the RAM 507 of the main control unit 41, a game control data holding area 590 is provided as an area for holding various data used to control the progress of the game in the slot machine 1 or the like. For example, a DRAM is used as the RAM 507, and a refresh operation for maintaining the stored data contents is required. The CPU 505 incorporates a refresh register for performing this refresh operation. For example, the refresh register consists of 8 bits, of which the lower 7 bits are automatically incremented each time the CPU 505 fetches an instruction from the ROM 506. Therefore, updating of the stored value in the refresh register is performed every execution time of one instruction in the CPU 505.

  The main control unit 41 transmits various commands to the sub control unit 91 via the serial communication circuit 511. The command transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the sub control unit 91 is sent in one direction only, and the command is not sent from the sub control unit 91 to the main control unit 41.

  The main control unit 41 receives detection states of various switches connected to the game control board 40 from the input port. Then, the main control unit 41 executes basic processing to shift in stages according to the detection state of various switches input from these input ports.

  In addition, the main control unit 41 can interrupt the basic process to execute the interrupt process when the interrupt occurs. In the present embodiment, the timer circuit included in the CTC 508 executes a timer interrupt process (main) to be described later at each fixed time interval (about 0.56 ms in the present embodiment).

  Further, the main control unit 41 is set to prohibit other interrupts during execution of the interrupt processing, and when a plurality of interrupts occur simultaneously, priority is given according to a predetermined order. The interrupt to be executed is set. If another interrupt factor occurs during execution of the interrupt process and the interrupt factor continues even if the interrupt process is completed, a new interrupt occurs at that point It will be.

  The main control unit 41 repeatedly loops the process according to the control state until the detection states of the various switches connected to the game control board 40 change as the basic process, and the main control unit 41 responds to the change in the detection states of the various switches Execute the process of migrating in stages. Further, the main control unit 41 executes timer interrupt processing (main) at predetermined time intervals (about 0.56 ms in the present embodiment). The execution interval of the timer interrupt process (main) is set to a time longer than the combined time of the process to be repeated depending on the control state in the basic process and the execution time of the timer interrupt process (main). Therefore, at least the processing repeated according to the control state is always performed between the current and the next timer interrupt processing (main).

  The effect control board 90 is connected to the effect switch 56, and a detection signal of the effect switch 56 is input.

  The effect control board 90 is connected to a rendering device such as the liquid crystal display 51 (see FIG. 1) disposed on the front door 1b of the slot machine 1, the rendering effect LED 52, the speakers 53 and 54, and the reel LED 55 described above. These effect devices are driven based on control by a sub control unit 91 described later mounted on the effect control board 90.

  In the present embodiment, the sub control unit 91 mounted on the effect control board 90 is configured to perform output control of the effect devices such as the liquid crystal display 51, the effect effect LED 52, the speakers 53 and 54, and the reel LED 55. However, separately from the sub control unit 91, an output control unit that directly performs output control of the rendering device is mounted on the effect control substrate 90 or another substrate, and the sub control unit 91 is based on a command from the main control unit 41. The output pattern of the rendering device may be determined, and the output control unit may control the output of the rendering device based on the output pattern determined by the sub control unit 91. In such a configuration, the sub control unit 91 and the output control The output control of the rendering device is performed by both of the units.

  In addition, although the liquid crystal display 51, the effect effect LED 52, the speakers 53 and 54, and the reel LED 55 are illustrated as the effect device in the present embodiment, the effect device is not limited to these, for example, a display driven mechanically A device or a mechanically driven combination may be applied as the rendering device.

  Similar to the main control unit 41, the effect control board 90 is constituted by a microcomputer having a sub CPU 91a, a ROM 91b, a RAM 91c, and an I / O port 91d, and a sub control unit 91 for controlling effects, and a effect control board 90. A display control circuit 92 for controlling the display of the liquid crystal display 51 connected to the display unit 52, an LED drive circuit 93 for controlling the drive of the effect LED 52 and the reel LED 55, and an audio output circuit 94 for controlling audio output from the speakers 53 and 54; A reset circuit 95 for giving a reset signal to the sub CPU 91 a when the power is turned on or when an initialization command from the sub CPU 91 a is not inputted for a predetermined time, detects a detection signal inputted from the effect switch 56 connected to the effect control board 90 Switch detection circuit 96 outputs time information including date information and time information Clock device 97 monitors the power supply voltage supplied to the slot machine 1, and when detecting a voltage drop, detects a voltage drop signal indicating that to the sub CPU 91a, other circuits, etc. Is mounted, and the sub CPU 91a receives various commands sent from the game control board 40 to perform various controls for effecting, and directly controls each part of the control circuit mounted on the effect control board 90. Control indirectly or indirectly.

  The reset circuit 95 has a lower voltage for releasing the reset signal than the reset circuit 49 which gives the system control signal to the main control unit 41 in the game control board 40, and the sub control unit 91 performs main control when the power is turned on. It is started earlier than the unit 41. On the other hand, the voltage detection circuit 98 has a lower voltage for outputting the voltage reduction signal than the power failure detection circuit 48 which outputs the voltage reduction signal to the main control unit 41 in the game control board 40, and In this case, the sub-control unit 91 detects a power failure at a later stage than the main control unit 41, and performs a power-off process (sub) described later.

  Similar to the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 has an interrupt function, generates an interrupt when receiving a command from the main control unit 41, and acquires a command transmitted from the main control unit 41. Execute command reception interrupt processing to be stored in the buffer. Further, the sub control unit 91 generates an interrupt each time the number of inputs of the system clock reaches a fixed number, that is, at fixed intervals, and executes timer interrupt processing (sub) described later.

  Also, unlike the main control unit 41, when an interrupt occurs based on the reception of a command, the sub control unit 91 interrupts the process even while timer interrupt processing (sub) is being executed. The command reception interrupt process is executed, and the command reception interrupt process is executed with the highest priority even if an interrupt that triggers the timer interrupt process (sub) simultaneously occurs.

  The sub control unit 91 is also supplied with backup power at the time of a power failure, and while the backup power is supplied, data stored in the RAM 91 c is held.

  In the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, the payout rate of medals changes in accordance with the set value. Specifically, the payout rate of medals is changed by using the winning probability according to the set value in the internal lottery described later. The set value is composed of six steps of 1 to 6, and the payout rate is the highest at 6 and the payout rate decreases as the value decreases in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. That is, when 6 is set as the setting value, the degree of advantage is the highest for the player, and the degree of advantage decreases stepwise as the values become smaller in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

  In order to change the setting value, it is necessary to turn on the setting key switch 37 and then turn on the slot machine 1. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on and the power is turned on, the setting value read from the RAM 507 is displayed on the setting value display 24 as a display value, and the setting value can be changed by operating the reset / setting switch 38. Move to setting change status. In the setting change state, when the reset / setting switch 38 is operated, the display value displayed on the setting value display 24 is updated one by one (when the setting 6 is further operated, the setting is returned to the setting 1) . Then, when the start switch 7 is operated, the display value is determined as the set value. Then, when the setting key switch 37 is turned off, the determined display value (setting value) is stored in the RAM 507 of the main control unit 41, and the state shifts to a state where the game can be progressed.

  Further, in order to confirm the setting value, after the game is over, the setting key switch 37 may be turned on in a state where the bet number is not set. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on in such a situation, the setting value read from the RAM 507 is displayed on the setting value display 24 to shift to a setting confirmation state where the setting value can be confirmed. In the setting confirmation state, the game can not be progressed, and by setting the setting key switch 37 to the off state, the setting confirmation state is ended, and the game can be returned to the state where it can be progressed.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 performs a power cut to determine whether or not the voltage drop signal from the power failure detection circuit 48 is detected each time the timer interrupt process (main) is executed. The determination processing is performed, and when it is determined that the voltage drop signal is detected in the power failure determination processing, the power interruption processing (main) is executed. In the power interruption process (main), the register is saved on the stack of the RAM 507 described later, and data for destructive diagnosis (5 AH in this embodiment) in which any bit becomes 1 in the RAM 507, that is, specific data other than 0 While storing, the data for RAM parity adjustment is calculated so that the RAM parity based on the data stored in all the areas of the RAM 507 becomes 0, and processing for storing in the RAM 507 is performed. The RAM parity is a value calculated as an exclusive OR of the values stored in the respective bits of the corresponding area (in the present embodiment, all the areas) of the RAM 507. Therefore, if the RAM parity based on the data stored in all the areas of the RAM 507 is 0, the data for RAM parity adjustment becomes 0, and the RAM parity based on the data stored in all the areas of the RAM 507 is 1. For example, the RAM parity adjustment data is 1.

  Then, the main control unit 41 calculates the RAM parity based on the data stored in all the areas of the RAM 507 at the time of activation regardless of whether it is the system reset or the user reset, and the value of the destruction diagnosis data On the condition that the RAM parity is 0 and the value of the data for destructive diagnosis is also correct, the processing state of the main control unit 41 is restored to the state before power interruption based on the data stored in the RAM 507 However, if the RAM parity is not 0 (if 1) or if the value of the destruction diagnostic data is not correct, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal and the RAM abnormal error code is set in the register to control the RAM abnormal error state. And to disable the progress of the game. Note that, unlike the normal error state, the RAM abnormal error state is not canceled even if the reset switch 23 or the reset / setting switch 38 is operated, and a new set value is set in the setting change state described above. It will not be released until

  In the present embodiment, all data stored in the RAM 507 is held by the backup power supply even during a power failure, and the main control unit 41 determines that the data in the RAM 507 is normal when the power is turned on. In this configuration, the control state before power interruption is restored based on the data stored in RAM 507, but among the data stored in RAM 507, only data necessary for restoration of the control state at the time of a power failure is backed up, and the power is turned on. The control state before power interruption may be restored based on the data backed up at the time.

  In addition, when the power is turned on, when returning to the control state before power interruption, it is not necessary to return all control states to the control state before power interruption, and the minimum control state that is not disadvantageous to the player. It is not necessary to restore, for example, all the states of the input port and the like to the state before the power failure.

  Next, initialization of the RAM 507 of the main control unit 41 will be described. The storage area of the RAM 507 of the main control unit 41 is divided into important work, non-saved work, general work, special work, unused area, and stack area.

  The important work is a work that stores an RT flag, which will be described later, in addition to data that is inconvenient to initialize, such as various indicator and LED display data, I / O input / output data, gaming time counter, etc. . The non-stored work is a work that holds the state of various switches, and a value is always set regardless of whether or not the data of the RAM 507 is destroyed at startup. The general work is a work in which data such as a stop control table, a stop symbol, and a game state flag described later are stored. The special work is a work in which data such as various software random numbers that is initialized only before the start of setting is stored. The unused area is an unused area in the storage area of the RAM 507, and is initialized if any one of a plurality of initialization conditions described later is satisfied. The stack area is an area in which data saved from the register of the main control unit 41 is stored, and the unused stack area among them is any one of a plurality of initialization conditions described later, similarly to the unused area. Even if it holds, it will be initialized, but the stack area in use will not be initialized for the continuation of the program.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 does not destroy the data in the RAM 507 at startup when the setting key switch 37 is off, at the time of startup when the setting key switch 37 is on, or when a RAM abnormal error occurs. When four initialization conditions at the end of one game are satisfied, three different types of initialization are performed according to the respective initialization conditions.

  The initialization 1 is a state in which the setting key switch 37 is in the on state at the time of startup and the initialization is performed prior to the transition to the setting change state, or when the RAM abnormal error occurs. In the storage area of the RAM 507, all areas (including the unused area and the unused stack area) except the important work and the used stack area, ie, the area from the unsaved work to the unused stack area are initialized. Ru. The initialization 2 is an initialization performed when the setting key switch 37 is off at startup and the data in the RAM 507 is not destroyed. In the initialization 2, non-saved work, unused area and unused area The used stack area is initialized. The initialization 3 is performed at the end of one game, and in the initialization 3, the unused area and the unused stack area in the storage area of the RAM 507 are initialized.

  In this embodiment, although initialization 1 is performed before the transition of the setting change state, it is performed at the end of the setting change state, or before the transition of the setting change state, and at the end of the setting change state. Also good.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when a RAM abnormal error occurs at the time of power-on etc., initialization 1 is executed and the control state before that is initialized. The RT flag assigned to is kept without being initialized. On the other hand, the gaming state flag assigned to the general work will be initialized as the initialization 1 is executed.

  In the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, the specified number of bets (3 in this embodiment, whichever game state is set) can be set according to the game state, and is determined according to the game state. It is possible to start the game on condition that the specified number of bets has been set. In the present embodiment, the pay line LN is activated when the defined number of bets is set in accordance with the game state.

  In the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, when all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped, activated pay lines (in the case of this embodiment, all pay lines are always activated. When a combination of symbols called a winning combination is aligned on the activated pay line is simply called a pay line), a prize is won. The role may be a combination of the same symbols or a combination including different symbols. The type of winning combination is determined according to the game state, but can be roughly divided into a small combination with payout of medals and the need to set the number of bets, and the next game can be started again There are a play role and a special role accompanied by transition to a play state advantageous to the player. In the following, the small part and the re-play part are collectively referred to as a general part. In order to generate a winning of each combination determined in accordance with the gaming state, it is necessary to win an internal lottery to be described later, and the winning flag of the combination must be set in the RAM 507.

  Of the winning flags for each of these winning combinations, the winning flags for the small winning combination and the re-playing combination are only valid in the game for which the flag is set, and are invalid in the next game, but the special winning combination is The game is valid until the combination of the roles accepted by the flag is complete, and the game is invalidated in the game in which the combination of the accepted roles is complete. That is, once the winning combination of the special part is won, even if the combination of the combinations permitted by the flag can not be aligned, the winning flag is carried over to the next game without being invalidated. It becomes.

  Further, in the present embodiment, among the above-mentioned combinations, the special combination is not provided, and only the small combination and the re-play combination are subject to the internal lottery and the prize, but the special combination is provided and the special combination is the internal lottery and the prize It may be a target of

  Hereinafter, the internal lottery of the present embodiment will be described. The internal lottery determines whether or not the display results of all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are derived and displayed (in fact, when the start switch 7 is detected), whether or not the above-mentioned winning combinations for each combination are permitted. It is In the internal lottery, first, a random number value (an integer of 0 to 65535) for the internal lottery is acquired when the start switch 7 is detected. In more detail, the value of the random value storage work assigned to the RAM 507 is set to the drawing work assigned to the RAM 507 as well. Then, for each combination determined according to the gaming status and the presence or absence of the special combination, numerical data stored in the lottery work, the value of the gaming status flag for identifying the gaming status, and the RT to be described later are specified. It is carried out according to the value of the RT flag to be played, the number of bets, and the number of judgment values of each combination determined according to the set value.

  The random number storage work is a storage area in which the numerical data latched at the same time as the operation of the start switch 7 is stored, and whenever the new numerical data is latched, the latched numerical data is subjected to the timer interrupt processing thereafter. The numerical data read out in (main) and stored in the random number value storing work is updated to the latest latched numerical data.

  In the internal lottery, the internal lottery random number value (stored in the lottery work for the internal lottery), the role to be subjected to the internal lottery, the current gaming state flag value, the RT flag value, and the determination value number determined corresponding to the fixed value When the result of the addition overflows, it is determined that the winning combination has been won. Therefore, the winning combination is won with the probability (number of judgment values / 65536) according to the magnitude of the number of judgment values.

  When it is determined that one of the winning combinations has been won, a winning flag corresponding to the winning combination is set in the internal winning flag storing work assigned to the RAM 507. The internal winning flag storage work is configured by a 2-byte storage area, the upper byte of which is assigned as a special role storage work in which the special winning flag is set, and the lower byte is a general winning The flag is assigned as a general role storing work to be set. Specifically, when a special combination is won, a special combination winning flag indicating that the special combination has been selected is set in the special combination storing work, and the winning flag set in the general combination storing work is cleared. When a general combination is won, a winning combination flag indicating that the general combination has been selected is set in the general combination storing work. If neither combination nor combination of winning combinations is won, only the general combination storing work is cleared.

  In the present embodiment, since the special winning combination is not provided, only the general combination storing work is used among the internal winning flag storing works.

  Next, stop control of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R will be described.

  The main control unit 41 refers to the table index and the data for table creation stored in the ROM 506A when the rotation of the reel starts, and when the reel is stopped and the reel which is still rotating remains. Create a stop control table for each spinning reel. Then, when one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R corresponding to the rotating reel is effectively detected, the stop control table of the corresponding reel is referred to and the slip of the reference stop control table is referred to. Based on the number of frames, control is performed to stop the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R corresponding to the operated stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R.

  In the table index, an index indicating the start address of the area where the data for table creation is stored from the reference address at the time of referring to the table index for each setting state of the winning flag by internal lottery (hereinafter referred to as internal winning state). The difference up to the address where the data is stored is registered. As a result, it is possible to acquire the corresponding index data by acquiring the difference corresponding to the internal winning state and adding the difference to the reference address. In the case where the same control is applied, the same address is stored as index data even if the winning situations of the winning combination are different, and in such a case, the same table creation data is referred to. Thus, the stop control table is created.

  The table creation data includes a stop control table indicating the number of sliding symbols according to the stop operation position, and an address of the stop control table to be referred to according to the stop condition of the reel.

  The stop control table referred to according to the stop condition of the reels is all reels rotating, only the left reel is stopped, only the middle reel is stopped, only the right reel is stopped, left, It may differ depending on whether the middle reel is stopped, the left and right reels are stopped, or the middle and right reels are stopped. Furthermore, when any reel is stopped, it is stopped. Because there are also cases where it differs depending on the stop position of the completed reel, for each situation, the address of the stop control table to be referred to is registered for each rotating reel, and based on the top address of the table creation data, The address of the stop control table to be referred to can be specified in accordance with the situation of, and it is necessary from this specified address according to each situation And to be able to identify the stop control table. Even when the stop condition of the reel and the stop position of the stopped reel are different, when the same stop control table is applied, the same address may be registered as the address of the stop control table. In such a case, the same stop control table is referred to.

  The stop control table is data that can specify the number of sliding symbols at each timing when the stop operation is performed. In this embodiment, a stepping motor which makes one revolution in a cycle of 336 steps (0 to 335) is used for the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R. That is, by driving the reel motors 32L, 32C, 32R in 336 steps, the reels 2L, 2C, 2R make one turn. Then, 21 areas (pieces) divided in every 16 steps (the number of steps in which one symbol moves) per reel is defined, and in these areas, an area of 0 to 20 from the reel reference position is defined. The number is assigned. On the other hand, the number of symbols arranged in one reel is also 21 and symbol numbers of 0 to 20 from the reel reference position are assigned to the symbols of each reel, therefore, 0 to 20 symbols The area numbers of 0 to 20 are assigned in order. The number of sliding symbols for each area number is compressed and stored according to a predetermined rule in the stop control table, and the number of sliding symbols for each area number can be acquired by expanding the stop control table. There is.

  As described above, in the stop control table created with reference to the table index and the data for table creation, the area corresponding to each area number corresponds to the area number and the stop reference position (in the present embodiment, the perspective window 3 The sliding coma when the operation of the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R is detected at the timing (the timing at which the number of steps from the reel reference position falls within the range of the number of steps of each region number) It is a table in which the number is set.

  Next, the procedure for creating the stop control table will be described. First, at the start of reel rotation, the top address of table creation data according to the internal winning state of the game is acquired. Specifically, the table index is firstly referred to, index data corresponding to the internal winning state is acquired, and table creation data is identified based on the acquired index data, and all reels are identified from the identified table creation data. The address of the stop control table of each reel corresponding to the rotating state is acquired, and the stop control table of each reel stored in the acquired address is expanded to create the stop control table for all the reels.

  When one of the reels stops or when any two reels stop, the index data acquired at the start of reel rotation, that is, the top address of the table creation data according to the internal winning state of the game. Based on the table creation data, the table creation data is identified, and from the identified table creation data, the address of the stop control table of the unstopped reel corresponding to the stopped reel and the area number of the stop position of the reel is acquired. The stop control table of each stored reel is expanded to create a stop control table for unstopped reels.

  Next, when the main control unit 41 effectively detects any operation corresponding to the rotating reel among the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, the control when causing the corresponding reel to derive the display result To explain, when any one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R corresponding to the rotating reel is effectively detected, the stop operation position based on the number of steps from the reel reference position at the time of detecting the stop operation. The area number is identified, and the number of sliding symbols corresponding to the area number of the identified stop operation position is acquired with reference to the stop control table of the reel in which the stop operation is detected. Then, control is performed to rotate and stop the reel by the acquired number of sliding symbols. Specifically, from the number of steps from the reel reference position at the time of detecting the stop operation, the acquired number of sliding symbols and the number of steps until stopping are calculated, and the reel is rotated by the calculated number of steps and stopped. Take control. Thus, the area corresponding to the area number corresponding to the area number corresponding to the area number of the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected from the area number corresponding to the number of sliding frames is the stop reference position (in the present embodiment, It will stop in the area of the lower design).

  In the table index of this embodiment, only one address is stored as index data corresponding to one internal winning state in one gaming state, and further, one table creation data includes one reel. Only one address is stored as the address of the storage area of the stop control table corresponding to the stop condition (and the stop position of the stopped reel). That is, the table creation data corresponding to one internal winning state in one gaming state, and the stop control table corresponding to the reel stop status (and the stopped position of the stopped reel) are uniquely determined. The stop control table created with reference to is also unique with respect to one internal winning state in one gaming state, and the stop state of the reel (and the stop position of the stopped reel). Therefore, when all of the gaming state, the internal winning state, and the stop condition of the reel (and the stop position of the stopped reel) become the same condition, the reel based on the same stop control table, that is, the same control pattern Stop control is performed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a value of 0 to 4 is determined as the number of sliding symbols, and it is possible to stop the reel by pulling in a maximum of four-frame symbol after detecting the stopping operation. That is, it is possible to designate the stop position of the symbol from the range of maximum 5 frames including the stop operation position at which the stop operation is detected. In addition, since it is necessary to move one frame to move the symbol by one symbol, it is possible to pull in a maximum of four symbols after detecting the stop operation and stop the reel, and the stop having detected the stop operation It will be possible to specify the stop position of the symbol from the range of maximum 5 symbols including the operation position.

  In this embodiment, when one of the winning combinations is won, the winning combination is drawn to the maximum within 4 frames on the pay line, and the non-winning combination is pulled so as not to be aligned on the pay line. A stop control table with the number of frames defined is created and reel stop control is performed, but if none of the roles are won, the stop control table with the number of sliding frames with no combination of symbols determined Create and perform reel stop control. As a result, when the stop operation is performed, if it is possible to align and stop the winning combination in the lead-in range of up to 4 pieces on the pay line, control is performed to align and stop the winning combination. The player who is not in charge is controlled to have his or her body stopped and stopped in the lead-in range of up to 4 frames.

  In this embodiment, the special role is not provided. However, in the structure having the special role, the special role and the small portion may be obtained, for example, when the small role is won while the special role is carried over from before the previous game. In the case where the winning combination has been won at the same time, the number of sliding pieces has been determined so as to draw the winning combination to the winning line in the range of 4 frames as much as possible, and the winning combination is limited to 4 at the winning line. For the stop operation position that can not be withdrawn in the range of the top, create a stop control table with the number of sliding symbols determined so as to draw the winning special part to the pay line to the maximum within the range of 4 top You should do it. As a result, when it is possible to align and stop the small winning combination in the lead-in range of up to 4 pieces on the pay line when the stop operation is performed, the control to align and stop this is performed, and the prize is won If it is not possible to draw in the small winning combination in the drawing range of up to 4 pieces on the line, if it is possible to align and stop the special part winning in the drawing range of up to 4 pieces on the pay line, A control to align and stop these is performed, and a combination that has not won is controlled to have a four-stroke lead-in range and to stop. That is, in such a case, the control of aligning the small winning combination on the pay line has priority over the special winning combination, and it becomes possible to win the special winning combination only when the small winning combination can not be drawn. If the special role and the small portion can be drawn simultaneously, only the small portion is drawn in, and the small portion and the special portion are not aligned on the pay line.

  In addition, when the special role and the small role are winning at the same time, priority is given to the control to align the special role on the pay line over the small role, and the small role is put on the pay line only when the special role can not be withdrawn. You may perform control to align.

  Further, in the configuration having the special part, the stop operation is performed when the special part and the re-play part are simultaneously won, such as when the re-play part is won with the special part carried over from before the previous game. When the game is performed, control may be performed to align and stop the symbols of the replay role on the pay line in the lead-in range of up to 4 pieces. In this case, the symbols making up the re-playing combination or the symbols making up the simultaneously playing re-playing combination are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less, ie, 4 frames or less, for any of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R. Because it can always be stopped at any position within the four-frame pull-in range, when the special combination and the re-play combination are simultaneously won, regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R by the player. Instead, you will be rewarded with a complete remake. That is, in such a case, the control of aligning the re-play combination on the pay line has priority over the special combination, and the re-play combination will always be won. When the special combination and the re-play combination can be drawn simultaneously, only the re-play combination is drawn in, and the special combination is not arranged on the pay line at the same time as the re-play combination.

  In the present embodiment, after the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R is started, the main control unit 41 rotates the reels whose stop operation has not yet been detected until the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is detected. Continuing, control is performed to stop the display result on the corresponding reel on condition that the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is detected. Even when the reel rotation is temporarily stopped due to the occurrence of the reel rotation error, the stop operation is still detected until the operation of the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R is detected after the reel rotation is resumed. The rotation of the unreeled reel is continued, and control is performed to stop the display result on the corresponding reel on condition that the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is detected.

  In this embodiment, the control for stopping the display result on the corresponding reel is performed on the condition that the operation of the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R is detected, but the rotation of the reel starts. After that, when a predetermined automatic stop time has elapsed, even if the stop operation of the reels is not performed, automatic stop control is performed to automatically stop each reel, assuming that the stop operation has been performed. It is good. In this case, since the reel is stopped without the operation of the player, it is preferable to derive a display result which does not constitute any combination even if any combination is won.

  Next, various control contents executed by the main control unit 41 in the present embodiment will be described below based on FIGS. 6 to 9.

  When the system reset signal is input from the reset circuit 49, the main control unit 41 performs start processing (main) shown in the flowchart of FIG.

  First, after initializing the built-in device, peripheral IC, interrupt mode, stack pointer, etc. (Sa1), the values of the I register and IY register are initialized. By initialization of the I register and IY register, the address of the interrupt table to be referred to when an interrupt occurs is set in the I register, and the reference address when referring to the storage area of the RAM 41c is set in the IY register (Sa2). These values are fixed values and will always be initialized at startup.

  Next, after permitting access to the RAM 41c (Sa3), it is determined whether the backup flag is set in the backup RAM (Sa4). In this embodiment, a backup flag is set for backup data when a power failure occurs.

  If the backup flag is set, the backup flag is cleared (Sa5). After the backup flag is cleared, the checksum is calculated by obtaining the exclusive OR of the backup data, and it is determined whether the calculated checksum matches the backup checksum (Sa6). The checksum that has been backed up is calculated and set for the backup data when a power failure occurs. Further, the checksum is a value calculated as an exclusive OR of the values stored in each bit of the backup RAM. Therefore, if the value obtained by XORing based on the backup data stored in all the areas in the backup RAM is 0, the checksum is 0, and the checksum is stored in all the areas in the backup RAM. If the value obtained by XORing based on the backup data is 1, the checksum is 1.

  If it is determined in Sa6 that the checksums do not match, or if it is determined that the backup flag is not set in Sa4, the initialization process of initializing all the storage areas of the RAM 41c and backup RAM Is executed (Sa14), it is determined whether the setting key switch 37 is on (Sa15). If the setting key switch 37 is on, a setting change in progress command indicating that the setting is being changed is generated, and the generated setting change in progress command is stored in the command buffer (Sa12). The setting change-in-progress command is transmitted immediately after the processing of step Sa17 is executed by executing the same processing as the command transmission processing of step Sk16 in the timer interrupt processing described later. Then, the main control unit 41 described in FIGS. 8 to 9 permits interruption of the timer interrupt process (main) executed at a constant interval (interval of 0.56 ms) (Sa18), and the winning probability of the winning combination is achieved. To change the setting, ie, change the setting. Then, when the setting change process ends, the process shifts to the game control process shown in FIG.

  If the setting key switch 37 is off in the step of Sa15, an error code indicating RAM abnormality is set in the register (Sa16), an error command indicating RAM abnormality is generated, and the generated error command is stored in the command buffer ( Sa17). The error command is transmitted immediately after the process of step Sa17 is executed by executing the same process as the command transmission process of step Sk16 in the timer interrupt process described later. Then, the main control unit 41 described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 9 permits interruption of the timer interrupt process (main) executed at a constant interval (interval of 0.56 ms) (Sa18), and the error process, ie, the RAM Transition to abnormal error state. Then, for example, when the RAM abnormal error state is released by operating the reset / setting switch 38 or the like by the game store clerk, the processing shifts to the game control processing shown in FIG.

  If it is determined in Sa6 that the checksums match, it is determined whether the setting key switch 37 is on (Sa7). If the setting key switch 37 is on, an initialization process for initializing all the storage areas of the RAM 41c is performed (Sa11), and the above-described processes Sa12 to Sa13 are performed to change the setting, ie, change the setting. Transition. Then, when the setting change process ends, the process shifts to the game control process shown in FIG.

  If it is determined in step Sa7 that the setting key switch 37 is off, each register is restored to the state before power interruption, that is, the state stored in the stack (Sa8). Then, a return command is generated, and the generated command is stored in the command buffer (Sa9), and the timer interrupt executed by the main control unit 41 described in FIGS. 8 to 9 at a constant interval (0.56 ms interval) The interruption of the process (main) is permitted (Sa10), and the process returns to the last process executed before the power failure. The return command is stored in the command transmission buffer assigned to the special work of the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41, and after steps Sa31 to Sa37, it is similar to the command transmission process of step Sk16 in the timer interrupt process described later. It is sent immediately by executing the process. If any process in the game control process shown in FIG. 7 is performed before the power failure, Sd1 to Sd7 of the game process are performed based on the value of the program counter (PC) returned at Sa8. Among the processing of the above, return to the processing performed before the power failure. Also, for example, if any processing in the timer interrupt processing shown in FIG. 8 to FIG. 9 is performed before power interruption, based on the value of the program counter (PC) restored at Sa8, Among the processes of Sk1 to Sk26 of the timer interrupt process, the process returns to the process performed before the power failure.

  The error command is a command that indicates the occurrence or cancellation of an error condition, and the type of error condition.

  The setting change in progress command is a command indicating that the setting is being changed. Since the control state of the main control unit 41 is initialized along with the transition to the setting change state, the control state of the main control unit 41 is initialized by the setting change in-progress command indicating that the setting is being changed. It can be identified.

  The return command is a command indicating that the main control unit 41 has returned to the control state before power interruption.

  In the boot process (main), in addition to the above commands, an input number command, a game state command, an RT information 1 command, a return win number command are generated, and the generated command is stored in the command buffer. Then, the command stored in the command buffer is stored in the buffer for command transmission allocated to the special work of the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41, and after step Sa9, the command transmission processing of step Sk16 in timer interrupt processing described later It is sent immediately by performing the same processing as in.

  The insertion number command is a command for specifying the number of medals inserted.

  The game state command is a command for designating the game state being executed (during re-playing, setting change).

  The RT information 1 command is a command for specifying whether or not it is in the RT state and the type of the RT state.

  The return winning number command is a command for specifying the internal winning result (flag number of the internal winning flag) at the time of the power failure.

  In the present embodiment, the above-described error command, setting change command, return command, inserted number command, bonus type command, gaming state command, RT are commands transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the sub control unit 91. Besides the information 1 command and return winning number command, there are BET command, credit command, winning number command, winning number command, reel rotation start command, reel stop command, RT information 2 command, payout start command, payout end command. .

  The BET command is a command that can specify the number of inserted medals, that is, the number of medals used for setting the number of bets, and is a state from the end of the game (after the setting change) to the start of the game. In a state where is not set, it is transmitted when a medal is inserted or the MAX bet switch 6 is operated to set the bet number. Further, since the BET command is transmitted when the bet number setting operation is performed, it is possible to specify that the bet number setting operation is performed by receiving the bet command.

  The credit command is a command capable of specifying the number of medals stored as a credit, and is in a state from the end of the game (after the change of setting) to the start of the game, and in a state where the specified number of bets is set, Sent when medals are inserted and credits are added.

  The winning number command is a command that can identify the winning status of the internal winning flag and the type of the internal winning flag that has been established, and is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated to start the game. Further, since the winning number command is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated, it is possible to specify that the starting switch 7 has been operated by receiving the winning number command.

  The prize number command is a command capable of specifying the combination of symbols arranged on the prize line LN, the presence or absence of a prize, the type of prize, the number of medals paid out at the time of prize, and all reels are stopped to make a prize decision. Will be sent after

  The reel rotation start command is a command for notifying the start of reel rotation. The reel stop command is a command capable of specifying whether the reel to be stopped is any of the reel 2L, the reel 2C, and the reel 2R, the area number of the stop operation position of the corresponding reel, and the area number of the stop position of the corresponding reel. It is. Further, since the reel stop command is transmitted when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated, it is possible to specify that the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated by receiving the reel stop command. .

  The RT information 2 command is a command for specifying whether or not it is in the RT state and the type of RT state.

  The payout start command is a command for notifying start of medal payout, and is transmitted when payout of medals is started by winning or winning a credit (including medals used for setting the number of bets). The payout end command is a command for notifying the medal payout end, and is transmitted when the payout of the medal due to the winning and the settlement of credits is ended.

  Unlike the error command, setting change command, return command, inserted number command, bonus type command, gaming state command, RT information 1 command, return win number command, BET command, credit command, win number command, winning The number command, the reel rotation start command, the reel stop command, the RT information 2 command, the payout start command, and the payout end command are temporarily stored in a command transmission buffer provided in a special work of the RAM 41 c of the main control unit 41. 8 to 9 is transmitted to the sub control unit 91 in the command transmission process (Sk16) executed in the timer interrupt process (main).

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the control contents of the game control process executed by the main control unit 41.

  In the game control process, BET process (Sd1), internal lottery process (Sd2), reel rotation process (Sd3), winning determination process (Sd4), payout process (Sd5), game end process (Sd6), input / output process (Sd6) Sd7) is sequentially executed, and when the input / output processing (Sd7) is completed, the processing returns to the BET processing (Sd1) again.

  In the BET process in the step Sd1, the bet number is delayed in a settable state, the bet number is set according to the game state, and the game is started when the start switch 7 is operated. .

  In the internal lottery process in the step of Sd2, it is determined whether or not the winning of each combination is permitted based on the random value for the internal lottery latched simultaneously with the start of the game by the detection of the start switch 7 in the step of Sd1. Do the processing. In this internal lottery process, a winning flag is set in the RAM 41 c based on the respective lottery results.

  In the reel rotation process in the step of Sd3, a process of rotating each reel 2L, 2C, 2R, the result of the internal lottery, and the corresponding reel 2L in response to the detection of the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R by the player. , 2C, and 2R (including the process of creating the stop control table described above) and display the symbol combination specified from the stop control table corresponding to the operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R. Execute processing to derive the display result. A reel rotation command indicating that the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R have started rotation, the type of reel to be stopped, and a reel stop command indicating a symbol to be stopped for the reel are generated in the reel rotation process and stored in the command buffer . Each command stored in the command buffer is transmitted to the sub control unit 91 in the command transmission process (Sk16) executed in the timer interrupt process (main) shown in FIGS. Thereafter, the rotation of the reel (one of 2L, 2C, and 2R) corresponding to the operated stop switch is delayed until it stops.

  In the prize determination process in the step of Sd4, when it is determined that the rotation of all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R has stopped in the step of Sd4, a prize is awarded according to the display result derived on each reel 2L, 2C, 2R. Execute processing to determine whether or not it has occurred.

  In the payout process at step Sd5, when the occurrence of a winning is determined at step Sd4, processing such as addition of credits and payout of medals is performed based on the number of payouts corresponding to the winning.

  In the end-of-game process in the step of Sd6, a process of setting the gaming state in preparation for the next game is executed.

  In the input / output process in the step Sd7, the input state of the input port is monitored to detect the presence / absence of the input of various switches, and the detection result is set in the input buffer. In this embodiment, for example, in the switch input determination process of Sk21 and the stop switch process of Sk23 executed in the timer interrupt process (main) shown in FIGS. 8 to 9 described later, the input set in Sd7 Check the buffer status and check if each switch is turned on. Further, in the input / output process in the step Sd7, a process of outputting an output signal to various solenoids and LEDs is performed based on the state of the output buffer. In this embodiment, for example, various output values such as LEDs are set in the output buffer by the LED dynamic display processing of Sk12 executed in the timer interrupt processing (main) shown in FIGS. Ru.

  8 to 9 are flowcharts showing control contents of timer interrupt processing (main) executed by the main control unit 41 by interrupting the start processing and the game control processing at regular intervals (intervals of 0.56 ms). During the execution of the timer interrupt process (main), other interrupts are automatically prohibited.

  In the timer interrupt process (main), first, the register in use is saved in the stack area (Sk1).

  Next, a power failure determination process is performed (Sk2). In the power failure determination process, it is determined whether or not the voltage drop signal is input from the power failure detection circuit 48. If the voltage drop signal is input, the voltage drop signal is also input in the previous power failure determination process. If a voltage drop signal is input even in the previous power failure determination process, it is determined that a power failure has occurred, and a power failure flag indicating that is set.

  After the power failure determination process in the step of Sk2, it is determined whether or not the power-off flag is set (Sk3). If the power-off flag is not set, the process proceeds to Sk4, and the power-off flag is set. To the power off process (main). In the power-off process (main), the backup flag used in the determination of Sa4 of the start process (main) shown in FIG. 6 is set after creation of backup data, or used in the determination of Sa6 of the start process (main) shown in FIG. Execute processing such as calculating checksum by calculating exclusive OR of backup data.

  At Step Sk4, port input processing is performed to input detection data of various switches from the input port.

  Next, the branch counter for identifying the timer interrupt to be executed in the timer interrupt process (main) is advanced by 1 from the four types of timer interrupts 1 to 4 (Sk5). In this embodiment, timer interrupt 1 is a branch process during timer interrupt that controls the motor to control the start of the reel, and more specifically, processes of Sk9 to Sk11 such as a reel start process described later. Is done. Timer interrupt 2 is a branch process during timer interrupt that performs LED display control, update of time counter, monitoring of door open / close state, output control of control signal etc., and update of command and external output signal. Specifically, processing of Sk12 to Sk17 such as LED dynamic display processing to be described later is performed. The timer interrupt 3 is a branch process during timer interrupt that detects the passage of the origin of the reel, monitors the switch input, and reads a random value, and specifically, the passage of the passage of the origin described later. The processing of Sk20 to Sk22, such as time processing, is performed. The timer interrupt 4 is a branch process during timer interrupt that performs stop control of the reel by detecting the input of the stop switch, and more specifically, the process of Sk23 to Sk25 such as the stop switch process described later. Is done. In the step of Sk5, 1 is added when the branch counter value is 0 to 2, and is updated to 0 when the counter value is 3. That is, the branch counter value loops in the order of 0 → 1 → 2 → 3 → 0... Each time the timer interrupt process (main) is executed.

  Then, it is determined whether it is 2 or 3 by referring to the branch counter value, that is, timer interrupt 3 or timer interrupt 4 (Sk 6), and it is not timer interrupt 3 or timer interrupt 4, that is, timer interrupt In the case of 1 or timer interrupt 2, check whether the reel motors 32L, 32C, 32R are starting or during constant speed rotation, and if the reel motors 32L, 32C, 32R are starting or during constant speed rotation For example, motor phase signal output processing is executed to output phase signal data changed in motor step processing of Sk10 described later and phase signal data changed in final stop processing of Sk24 described later (Sk7).

  Next, it is determined whether or not it is 1 by referring to the branch counter value, that is, whether or not it is the timer interrupt 2 (Sk 8), and in the case of not the timer interrupt 2, that is, in the case of the timer interrupt 1, the reel motor Reel start processing (Sk9) that controls step time interval at start of 32L, 32C, 32R, motor step processing (Sk10) that changes phase signal data of reel motor 32L, 32C, 32R, reel motor 32L, 32C After the motor 32R is stopped, a motor phase signal standby process (Sk11) is sequentially performed to change the phase signal to one-phase excitation after a predetermined time elapses, and then the process proceeds to the step Sk25.

  In addition, in the case of timer interrupt 2 in the step of Sk8, LED dynamic display processing (Sk12) for dynamically lighting various displays, and control signal output processing for outputting data such as lighting signals of various LEDs to the output port (Sk13), time counter update processing (Sk14) for updating various time counters, monitoring of detection state of door open detection switch 25, door monitoring processing (Sk15) for requesting transmission of door command, etc., set in command buffer The command transmission process (Sk16) for transmitting various commands such as setting change command, return command, error command etc. to the sub control unit 91 and the external output signal update process (Sk17) for updating the external output signal are sequentially executed. Proceed to step.

  If it is the timer interrupt 3 or the timer interrupt 4 in the step of Sk6, it is further determined whether it is 3 or not with reference to the branch counter value, that is, the timer interrupt 4 (Sk 18). If it is not interrupt 4, that is, if it is timer interrupt 3, the passing of the origin of the rotating reels 2L, 2C, 2R (passing of the reel reference position) is checked to detect occurrence of a reel rotation error and stop. Check if preparation is complete (whether stop preparation complete code is set), and if stop preparation is complete and constant rotation is in progress, operate the stop switch corresponding to the reel being rotated. Whether there is a change in the detection state of the origin passing process (Sk 20) to be activated and switches (MAX BET switch 6, start switch 7, stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, etc.) After the switch input determination processing (Sk21) for performing determination, transmission request of operation detection command, etc., and the random value reading processing (Sk22) for reading out the numerical data from the random value register R1D and storing in the random value storage work, Proceed to step. The time until the operation of the stop switch is validated in the origin passing process is set after a predetermined time has elapsed since the operation of the start switch.

  In the case of timer interrupt 4 in the step of Sk18, when the stop operation position is stored in the work of the stop reel according to the detection of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, the stop stored in the work of the stop reel A stop switch process (Sk23) that determines the stop position based on the operation position and calculates the number of steps to stop after, counts the number of steps up to the stop calculated by the stop switch process, and it is time to stop After the stop process (Sk24) for starting the brake by two-phase excitation and the final stop process (Sk25) for three-phase excitation after a predetermined time since the start of the brake in the stop process, the process proceeds to Sk26.

  At Step Sk26, the register saved in the stack area at Sk1 is restored, and the process returns to the process before the interrupt.

  Next, control of an effect performed by the sub control unit 91 based on a command that the main control unit 41 transmits to the effect control board 90 will be described.

  When the sub control unit 91 receives a command from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 executes a command reception interrupt process. In the command reception interrupt process, the command acquired from the command transmission line is stored in the reception buffer provided in the RAM 91 c.

  The reception buffer is provided with an area capable of storing up to 16 commands, and can store a plurality of commands.

  The sub control unit 91 determines whether or not an unprocessed command is stored in the reception buffer in the timer interrupt process (sub), and if the unprocessed command is stored, the earliest of them is stored. The control pattern table stored in the ROM 91b is referred to based on the command received in the stage, and the liquid crystal display 51, the effect LED 52, the speakers 53 and 54, the reel LED 55, etc. based on the control content registered in the control pattern table. Perform output control of various rendering devices.

  The control pattern table includes display patterns of the liquid crystal display 51 corresponding to command types, lighting modes of the rendering effect LEDs 52, output modes of the speakers 53 and 54, lighting modes of the reel LEDs, and the like for each of a plurality of types of effect patterns. The control patterns of these effect devices are registered, and when the sub-control unit 91 receives a command, the control patterns of the control pattern table are registered in correspondence with the effect patterns set in the RAM 91 c in the game. Among them, the control pattern corresponding to the type of the received command is referred to, and the output control of the rendering device is performed based on the control pattern. As a result, an effect corresponding to the effect pattern and the progress of the game is performed.

  When the sub-control unit 91 newly receives a command during execution of an effect triggered by the reception of a certain command, the sub-control unit 91 cancels the effect based on the control pattern being executed, and the newly received command is An effect based on the corresponding control pattern is performed. That is, even when the effect is not finished to the end, when a new command is received, the effect being executed except for the case where the received new command is not a command that triggers a new effect is canceled and a new An effect based on a command will be executed.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, when the setting operation of the bet number is performed during the execution of the effect, that is, when the sub control unit 91 receives the BET command indicating that the bet number has been set, the effect being executed is Is supposed to discontinue. For this reason, if the player wants to advance the next game rather than watching the effect to the end, the effect is canceled and the next game can be started, thus making such a player feel bothersome. There is no In addition, when the settlement operation of the credit or the number of bets is made during execution of the effect, that is, after the sub control unit 91 receives the reel stop command indicating the end of the game, the reel rotation start command indicating the start of the game is received If a payout start command is received before the play, the effect being executed is canceled. It is when the game is ended that the checkout of the credit and the bet number is done, and although there is a will to end the game by ending the effect under execution in such a case, the effect continues unnecessarily. It is supposed not to go away.

  The effect pattern is selected at a selection rate corresponding to the result of the internal lottery indicated by the win number command when the win number command is received, and is set in the RAM 91 c. The selection rate of the effect pattern is registered in the effect table stored in the ROM 91b, and when the sub control unit 91 receives the win number command, the effect table is selected according to the result of the internal lottery indicated by the win number command. With reference to the selection rate registered, one of the effect patterns is selected from the plurality of effect patterns according to the selection rate, and the selected effect pattern is set in the RAM 91 c as the effect pattern of the game. Even when the same command is received, different control patterns are selected according to the effect pattern selected when the winning number command is received. As a result, different effects may be performed depending on the effect pattern.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the transition result is “Replay a-7 a-Bell a”, “Replay a-7 b-Bell a”, “Replay a-7 c-Bell a”, “Replay b-7 a-Bell a “Replay b-7 b-bell a”, “Replay b-7 c-bell a”, “Replay a-bell a-7 a”, “Replay a-bell a-7 b”, “Replay a-bell a-7 c” “Replay b-bell a-7a”, “Replay b-bell a-7b”, “Replay b-bell a-7c”, “Replay a-7a-7a”, “Replay a-7a-7b”, "Replay a-7a-7c", "Replay a-7b-7a", "Replay a-7b-7b", "Replay a-7b-7c", "Replay a-7c-7a", "Replay a-7c" -7b "," Replay a-7c-7c "," Replay b-7a-7 " “Replay b-7a-7b”, “Replay b-7a-7c”, “Replay b-7b-7a”, “Replay b-7b-7b”, “Replay b-7b-7c”, “Replay b It is a combination of "-7c-7a", "Replay b-7c-7b", and "Replay b-7c-7c", and when it is in the winning line LN in RT0, RT2 and RT3, it shifts to RT1. In the present embodiment, the upper bell, which is to be selected as the first stop except for the reels for which the left bell 1 to 4 and the middle bells 1 to 4 and the right bells 1 to 4 are selected, as will be described later. The above transition results are aligned with the payline LN.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 15 to FIG. 18, combinations of lottery target combinations read as lottery target combinations in each gaming state will be described. In the present embodiment, one of the combination as the target of the internal lottery and the winning probability thereof differ depending on whether the gaming state is RT0, RT1 or RT2 or RT3. Note that, as will be described later as a lottery target combination, a plurality of winning combinations may be read simultaneously, and may be won in duplicate. FIG. 17 and FIG. 18 show combinations of combinations read out for each lottery target combination, and by writing “+” between winning combinations, it is shown that they are simultaneously read out as lottery combination combinations in the internal lottery.

  In FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, the vertical column shows the lottery target role, and the horizontal column shows the gaming state. In addition, a circle mark in the column where the gaming state intersects with the lottery target combination indicates that the lottery target combination is read when the gaming state is in, and the cross mark indicates the lottery object when in the gaming state It indicates that the role is not read out.

  In addition, numerical values shown below the circle marks indicate the number of judgment values of a predetermined setting value (for example, setting value 1). An internal lottery is performed using the number of judgment values. The denominator of the determination value number is set to “65536” in correspondence with the random number for the internal lottery (an integer of 0 to 65535). Therefore, for example, the winning probability of the lottery target combination for which "300" is set as the number of determination values is 300/65536.

  Further, FIG. 15 shows a combination of small winning combinations read as a lottery target combination for each gaming state, and FIG. 16 shows a combination of re-playing combinations read as a lottery target combination for each gaming state. In addition, below, common bell, left bell 1, left bell 2, left bell 3, left bell 4, middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 3, middle bell 4, right bell 1, right bell 2, right bell 3 , The right bell 4 may be generically referred to as "bell", middle tier cherry, weak cherry, strong cherry may be generically referred to as "cherry", one weak, one strong is generically referred to as "one piece". Sometimes, weak watermelons and strong watermelons may be collectively referred to as "watermelon", and various replays may be collectively referred to as "replays".

  When it is RT0, common bell, left bell 1, left bell 2, left bell 3, left bell 4, middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 3, middle bell 4, right bell 1, right bell 2, right bell 3, right bell 4, middle cherries, weak cherries, strong cherries, 1 weak, 1 strong, 1 weak watermelon, 1 weak watermelon, 1 normal watermelon, and the normal replay will be the target role of the internal lottery.

  When it is RT1, common bell, left bell 1, left bell 2, left bell 3, left bell 4, middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 3, middle bell 4, right bell 1, right bell 2, right bell 3, right bell 4, middle cherry, weak cherry, strong cherry, weak one, strong one, weak watermelon, strong watermelon, normal replay, special replay, fall + promotion replay 1, fall + promotion replay 2, fall + promotion Replay 3, Fall + Promotion Replay 4, Fall + Promotion Replay 5, Normal + Special Replay 7 are the target roles for the internal lottery.

  When it is RT2 or RT3, common bell, left bell 1, left bell 2, left bell 3, left bell 4, middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 3, middle bell 4, right bell 1, right bell 2, Right bell 3, right bell 4, middle cherry, weak cherry, strong cherry, weak 1 sheet, strong 1 sheet, weak watermelon, strong watermelon, normal replay, normal + fall replay 1, normal + fall replay 2, normal + fall replay 3, Normal + Special Replay 1, Normal + Special Replay 2, Normal + Special Replay 3, Normal + Special Replay 4, Normal + Special Replay 5, Normal + Special Replay 6 are the target roles for the internal lottery.

  As shown in FIG. 17, the common bell is a single winning of the down-to-right bell, and when the common bell is won, a combination of the down-to-right bells is always made.

  Left bell 1 is right down bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 4; left bell 2 is right down bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3 and left bell 3 is right down bell + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7) and left bell 4 are right-down descent bell + upper bell 5 + upper bell 8). The left bells 1 to 4 are also simply referred to as the left bell.

  The middle bell 1 is middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 6, middle bell 2 is middle bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 5, and middle bell 3 is middle bell + upper bell 3 + upper bell The middle bell 4 is middle bell + upper bell 4 + upper bell 7. The middle bell 1 to 4 is simply called middle bell.

  The right bell 1 is middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 7, right bell 2 is middle bell + upper bell 3 + upper bell 5, and the right bell 3 is middle bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell The right bell 4 is middle bell + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6. The right bells 1 to 4 are also simply referred to as the right bell.

  In addition, these left bells 1 to 4, middle bells 1 to 4, and right bells 1 to 4 are also simply referred to as pushing order bells.

  The middle row cherry is a single winner of Cherry 1.

  The weak cherries are cherries 2 + cherries 3 + 1 sheets 1 + 1 sheets 3 and the strong cherries are cherries 2 + cherries 3 + 1 sheets 2 + 1 sheets 3. At the time of weak cherry winning, strong cherry winning is “cherry” in the upper or lower part of the left reel 2L when the stop operation of the left reel is performed at timing when both fall within the lead-in range of “7c” or “watermelon b”. Is derived, but at the time of weak cherry winning, even if aiming at "Cherry" to the right reels 2C and 2R during the middle, the combination of "Cherry-Cherry-Cherry" is not even in any of the invalid lines LM3 and LM4 In the case of strong cherry winning, the player is controlled to aim at "Cherry" on the right reels 2C and 2R while performing a strong cherry, and "Cherry-Cherry-Cherry" is displayed on one of the invalid lines LM3 and LM4. It is possible to control the combination of

  Therefore, in the case where the left, middle, and right reels are respectively targeted for "cherry" and stop operation is performed, and "cherry" is stopped at the upper or lower end of the left reel, "cherry-cherry" is displayed on one of the invalid lines LM3 and LM4. It can be recognized whether it is a strong cherry or a weak cherry depending on whether or not the combination of “cherry” is aligned.

  A weak one is a single winning of one sheet, and a strong one is a single winning of one sheet. At the time of winning one weak sheet, "7b-watermelon b-cherry" constituting one sheet 1 is controlled so as to be aligned, and even if "7b-watermelon b-cherry" is not aligned, it is stopped by the recommended procedure described later By performing the switch operation, it is controlled to be able to derive weak chances that are derived only when one weak card is won (that is, not derived when losing), while configuring one sheet 2 when one strong card is won 7b-Watermelon b-Watermelon b "is controlled to be aligned, and even when" 7b-Watermelon b-Watermelon b "is not aligned, one strong win is won by performing the stop switch operation according to the recommended procedure described later It is controlled to be able to derive strong chance eyes that are derived only occasionally (ie not derived in the case of a loss) (ie, weak chance eyes and strong chance eyes are derived Stop control table is created). In the present embodiment, although the symbols of the right reel 2R for one sheet 1 and one sheet 2 are different for cherry and watermelon b, these symbols are arranged within a range of 5 frames, so one stop It is possible to win one sheet or one sheet 2 by operating the switches 8L, 8C, 8R. However, in any of the reels, the symbols constituting one sheet 1 and the symbols constituting one sheet 2 are not arranged within five frames, and both are winning with the operation of one stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R. It may not be possible.

  For this reason, as a result of "7b-watermelon b-cherry" constituting 1 sheet 1 being aligned, or as a result of performing the stop switch operation in the recommended procedure, a weak chance is derived and recognition of 1 weak sheet is recognized As a result of performing “7b-watermelon b-watermelon b” composing 1 sheet 2 or performing the stop switch operation according to the recommended procedure, it is possible to recognize a strong 1 win by deriving a strong chance eye .

  The weak watermelon is upper watermelon + lower right watermelon + upper right watermelon, and the stronger watermelon is upper watermelon + middle middle watermelon + lower right watermelon + upper right watermelon. Even when the stop operation of the left, middle, and right reels is performed at a timing at which the combination of “watermelon a / b-watermelon a / b-watermelon a / b” can be stopped in the middle when weak watermelon is won, “watermelon a While the combination of / b-watermelon a / b-watermelon a / b is controlled to align in the upper row, to the lower right or to the upper right, when a strong watermelon is won, “watermelon a / b-watermelon a / b-watermelon” is selected. When the left, middle and right reels are stopped at a timing that can stop the combination of a / b in the middle, the combination of “watermelon a / b-watermelon a / b-watermelon a / b” is in the middle It is controlled to align.

  For this reason, as a result of performing the stop operation of the left, middle and right reels at timing that the combination of "watermelon a / b-watermelon a / b-watermelon a / b" can be stopped in the middle, "watermelon a / b-watermelon" Whether the combination of a / b-watermelon a / b is in the upper row, the lower right or the upper right or in the middle can be recognized as to whether the weak watermelon is won or the strong watermelon is won.

  Here, when it is assumed that the game is played in the order of the forward press (stop switch 8L → stop switch 8C → stop switch 8R, that is, left middle right order), the symbol number "in the figure" If the stop switch 8L is operated according to the recommended procedure for operating the stop switch 8L at a specific timing when the symbols arranged in the specific range from 0 "to" 2 "are located at the upper, middle, and lower positions in the perspective window 3, the specific range The expected value for the medal acquisition is higher than when the stop switch 8L is operated by the procedure other than the recommended procedure for operating the stop switch 8L at the timing when the range other than the above is positioned at the upper, middle and lower positions in the see-through window 3 It is advantageous to win medals.

  That is, when the stop switch 8L is operated in the recommended procedure for winning the small winning combination drawn in the internal lottery, the number of small winning combinations of the largest number of small winnings is achieved compared to the case where the stop switch 8L is operated in a procedure other than the recommended procedure. It will be possible to Therefore, the payout rate of medals is higher than when the stop switch 8L is operated in a procedure other than the recommended procedure.

  Specifically, if the stop switch 8L is operated in the recommended procedure, it is possible to win a small combination drawn by an internal lottery for small singles other than one weak and one strong, middle bells 1 to 4, right bells 1 to 4 Can be However, when the stop switch 8L is operated in a procedure other than the recommended procedure, the types of small winnings that can be won decrease. For this reason, when the stop switch 8L is operated in the recommended procedure, it is possible to minimize, as much as possible, the occurrence of the dropout of the small part (the fact that it was not possible to win even though the small part was won). In addition, according to the kind of symbol stopped on the pay line LN, specifically, it becomes possible to win as follows.

  As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 10 and FIG. 17, when the common bell or the left bell is won, “Replay b” of the symbol number “3” of the left reel 2L constituting the lower common bell or the lower right bell This "Replay b" stops at the payline LN because it is three frames ahead of the payline LN. As a result, the common bell or the left bell can be won.

  When the middle row cherry is won, “cherry” of the symbol number “1” of the left reel 2 L constituting the middle row cherry 1 is on the pay line LN, so “cherry” stops at the pay line LN as it is. . As a result, the middle row cherry can be won.

  In addition, when winning the weak cherry, "7c" of the symbol number "2" of the left reel 2L constituting the cherry 2 of weak cherry is one frame ahead from the payline LN, so this "7c" is the payline LN To stop. This makes it possible to win the weak cherries.

  Also, when winning a strong cherry, "7c" of symbol number "2" of left reel 2L constituting cherry 2 of strong cherry is one frame ahead from pay line LN, so "7c" is a pay line LN. To stop. This makes it possible to win strong cherries.

  In addition, when winning a weak watermelon, "Cherry" of the symbol number "1" of the left reel 2L constituting the watermelon rising to the right of the weak watermelon is on the payline LN, so "Cherry" stops at the payline LN as it is Do. This makes it possible to win weak watermelons.

  In addition, when winning a strong watermelon, the "watermelon a" of the symbol number "5" of the left reel 2L constituting the middle watermelon of a strong watermelon is four frames ahead from the pay line LN, so the "watermelon a" is a prize Stop at line LN. This makes it possible to win strong watermelons.

  Thus, when the stop switch 8L is operated in the recommended procedure, the above-mentioned small winning combination can be won, but for example, when the middle-tier cherry is won, it is arranged in the range of symbol numbers "3" to "5" When the stop switch 8L is operated in a procedure other than the recommended procedure so that the design is positioned at the upper, middle, and lower positions in the see-through window 3, “Cherry” is not arranged in the range of 5 frames, so take the middle cherry It will spill. Therefore, it is more advantageous to operate in the recommended procedure than in the procedure other than the recommended procedure.

  Further, in the present embodiment, it is a notification period in which a navigation effect described later is executed, and is controlled to AT (assist time) which is an advantageous state advantageous to the player. Whether or not to control the AT is determined by the AT lottery. The AT lottery is executed when the middle row cherry, the weak cherry, the strong cherry, the weak one, the strong one, the weak watermelon and the strong watermelon are won. Therefore, the range of symbol number "9" to "11", or the range of symbol number "10" to "12", or the range of symbol number "17" to "19", or symbol number "16" to When the stop switch 8L is operated at a predetermined timing where the range of “18” is located at the upper, middle, and lower positions in the see-through window 3 (that is, the timing at which the symbol “7b” constituting one weak and one strong is stopped) It is possible to recognize that the AT lottery is performed when one weak card and one strong card can be won, and one weak card or one strong card is won. However, when the stop switch 8L is operated in the recommended procedure, which is advantageous because the payout rate of medals is increased by preventing the occurrence of one weak or one strong, the “7b” is placed in the range of five frames. Because one weak card and one strong card can not be won, and one weak card or one strong card is dropped, when the player wins one weak card or one strong card, the player draws an AT lottery. I can not recognize what happened. For this reason, there is a possibility that the game may be stopped even if the player wins the AT lottery, or the player's expectation when the AT lottery is performed may not be enhanced. Therefore, in order to suggest to the player that an AT lottery has been executed when one weak or one strong drop occurs, a combination of symbols referred to as a chance eye that is not derived when there is a loss in the internal lottery is selected. Is displayed. As described above, when the stop switch 8L is operated in the recommended procedure, a drop of one weak and one strong is generated, and a chance eye is displayed when a drop of one weak or one strong occurs. By doing this, it is possible to diversify the combination of symbols having different degrees of advantage, and it is possible to make the contents of the game rich in variation and enhance the interest in the game. In addition, since there are sometimes advantageous or disadvantageous combinations of symbols without payout of medals, it becomes possible to impart unexpectedness to the contents of the game, and the interest in the game can be enhanced.

  In the present embodiment, although the chance line is a symbol combination that is not derived when it becomes a loss in the internal lottery, a symbol that is not derived when winning a winning combination other than one weak or one strong in the internal lottery The combination may be a chance eye. In addition, when the winning combination for which the AT lottery condition is met is won, if the winning probability of the AT lottery differs depending on the type of the winning combination won, or if the winning combination is configured to be won simultaneously with the bonus If the probability of winning varies depending on the type of winning combination, or if the degree of advantage varies depending on the type of winning combination, symbol combinations that are not derived when winning in a winning combination of low degree of advantage may be used as a chance eye . Further, a symbol combination satisfying all three patterns may be set as a chance eye, or a pattern combination chance satisfying two patterns among these three patterns may be set.

  In this embodiment, as a chance eye, a weak chance eye is displayed when a weak one is dropped, and a strong chance eye is displayed when a strong one is missed.

  When the stop switch 8L is operated at a specific timing, the “watermelon a” of the symbol number “5” of the reel 2L stops in the upper row when the symbol combination of the strong chance eye is operated (ie symbol number “4” for the payline LN) 'Bell a' stop)). Then, when the stop switch 8C is operated so that “watermelon a” of the symbol number “5” or “13” of the reel 2C is stopped on the payline LN in combination with the reel 2L, either of "Watermelon a" stops. Furthermore, when the stop switch 8R is operated so that the “watermelon a” of the symbol number “5” or the symbol number “9” of the reel 2R is stopped on the payline LN in combination with the reels 2L and 2C, the upper row of the reel 2R "Watermelon a" stops (ie, "Replay b" with symbol number "8" stops on the payline LN). As a result, the symbol of "bell a-watermelon a-replay b" is stopped on the pay line LN, and "watermelon a-watermelon a-watermelon a" is aligned on the upper stage-middle stage-upper stage (Kotani type). Is derived.

  When the stop switch 8L is operated in the recommended procedure, the “watermelon a” of the symbol number “5” of the reel 2L stops in the upper row when the symbol combination with the weak chance eye is operated (ie symbol number “4” for the payline LN) 'Bell a' stop)). Then, when the stop switch 8C is operated so that “watermelon a” of the symbol number “5” or “13” of the reel 2C is stopped on the payline LN in combination with the reel 2L, either of "Watermelon a" stops. Further, when the stop switch 8R is operated so that the symbol number "5" of the reel 2R or the "watermelon a" of the symbol number "9" is stopped on the payline LN in combination with the reels 2L and 2C, the lower portion of the reel 2R The "bell a" stops (ie, "replay a" with symbol number "11" stops on the pay line LN). As a result, the symbols of "Belle a-Watermelon a-Replay a" or "Belle a-Watermelon a-Replay b" are stopped on the pay line LN, and "Watermelon a- The watermelon a-bell a 'is aligned, and the weak chance eyes are derived.

  As described above, when the stop switch 8L is operated in the recommended procedure, the chance eye is displayed. Therefore, when the stop switch 8L is operated in the recommended procedure, it becomes possible to minimize the occurrence of a small winning as well. As it is displayed, the player can advantageously advance the game.

  When the stop switch 8L is operated in the recommended procedure, it may be configured not to shift to a disadvantageous gaming state which is shifted when the stop switch 8L is operated in a procedure other than the recommended procedure. Specifically, for example, when the stop switch 8L is operated in the recommended procedure, a symbol combination (i.e., a transition result) which shifts to a disadvantageous gaming state is not derived, but when the stop switch 8L is operated in a procedure other than the recommended procedure It is mentioned that the said symbol combination is derived. By configuring in this manner, it is possible to proceed with the game without shifting to at least the disadvantageous gaming state by the recommendation procedure, and it is possible to advantageously proceed the game.

  In addition, when the stop switch 8L is operated in the recommended procedure, it is possible to be configured to shift to an advantageous gaming state in which the transition is not made when the stop switch 8L is operated in a procedure other than the recommended procedure. Specifically, for example, when the stop switch 8L is operated in the recommended procedure, a symbol combination (i.e., a transition result) which shifts to an advantageous gaming state is derived, but the stop switch 8L is operated in a procedure other than the recommended procedure Sometimes it is mentioned that the symbol combination is not derived. By configuring in this way, it is possible to shift to an advantageous gaming state by the recommended procedure, and it is possible to advance the game advantageously.

  In addition, in the slot machine where the bonus is set as one of the winning combinations, when the stop switch 8L is operated in the recommended procedure, notification or suggestion that the bonus is won is made, but in the procedure other than the recommended procedure the stop switch 8L It is also possible to configure so that notification or suggestion is not made when operating the. By this configuration, it is possible to accelerate the detection of the bonus winning according to the recommended procedure, and it is possible to advantageously advance the game by suppressing the waste of medals consumed until the bonus is won. In addition, specifically, the derivation of the symbol combination that constitutes the reach eye, the derivation of the symbol combination that constitutes the chance eye, the lighting or blinking of the effect effect LED 52, the back lamp disposed on the back side (inner side) of the reel (for example, , Lighting and blinking of the reel LED 55), image display by the transmissive liquid crystal display (liquid crystal display configured to make the reel visible) disposed on the front side of the reel, a lamp or LED attached to the front door 1b or the like It is possible to indicate or notify by lighting or blinking (for example, the rendering effect LED 52), vibration of the stop switch, air blowing from around the stop switch, change in temperature of the stop switch, or the like.

  In addition, when the stop switch 8L is operated in the recommended procedure, the AT lottery (in other words, it is determined whether or not to give the player a privilege) with a higher winning probability than when the stop switch 8L is operated in a procedure other than the recommended procedure. Can be configured to be able to receive By configuring in this way, it is possible to increase the probability of transition to the AT by the recommended procedure, and it is possible to advance the game advantageously.

  In addition, when the stop switch 8L is operated in the recommended procedure, it is possible to configure so that the effect is executed with a higher probability than when the stop switch 8L is operated in a procedure other than the recommended procedure. By configuring in this way, it is possible to increase the execution probability of the effect by the recommended procedure, and it is possible to advance the game advantageously. In addition, in the case of a recommendation procedure, 100% is performed, and in the case of procedures other than the recommendation procedure, rendering is performed in a ratio of 0%, and as a rendering, in the case of procedures other than navigation rendering and recommendation procedure There is a premiere effect that is not executed.

  In addition, although the setting value can be estimated when the stop switch 8L is operated in the recommended procedure, the setting value can not be estimated when the stop switch 8L is operated in a procedure other than the recommended procedure. It is. By configuring in this way, it is possible to increase the probability of earning a profit by continuing without stopping the game when assuming that the setting value is high, and it is advantageous to gain a game in order to obtain a profit. You can go ahead. In addition, specifically, derivation of the symbol combination which suggests a setting value, lighting or blinking of the effect effect LED 52, lighting or blinking of a back lamp (for example, reel LED 55) disposed on the back side (inner side) of the reel, reel Image display by a transmissive liquid crystal display (a liquid crystal display configured to allow viewing of a reel) disposed on the front side of the lamp, lighting of a lamp or LED (for example, effect LED 52) attached to the front door 1b or the like The set value can be estimated by blinking, vibration of the stop switch, air blowing from around the stop switch, change in temperature of the stop switch, or the like.

  Thus, since it is advantageous to play the game in the recommended procedure, it is possible to motivate the user to operate the stop switch 8L in the recommended order. In addition, the stop switch 8L is intentionally operated in an order other than the recommended order to reduce a profit and gain in profit in the advantageous state, thereby preventing a player who is playing a game in the recommended order from feeling unfair. It will be possible to This makes it possible to prevent the interest in the game from being reduced.

  As shown in FIG. 18, the normal replay is a single winning of the normal replay 1, and the combination of the normal replay 1 is always prepared when the normal replay is won.

  Special Replay is Special Replay 1 + Special Replay 2 + Special Replay 3 and when Special Replay is won, any combination of Special Replay 1, Special Replay 2 or Special Replay 3 is prepared.

  Fall + Promotion Replay 1 is Promotion Replay + Fall Replay, Fall + Promotion Replay 2 is Normal Replay 1 + Promotion Replay + Fall Replay, and Fall + Promotion Replay 3 is Normal Replay 1 + Normal Replay 2 + Promotion Replay + Fall Replay, Fall + Promotion Replay 4 is Normal Replay 1 + Normal Replay 3 + Promotion Replay + Fall Replay, and Fall + Promotion Replay 5 is Normal Replay 1 + Promotion Replay + Fall Replay + Special Replay 1 is there.

  Normal + Fall Replay 1 is Normal Replay 1 + Fall Replay, and Normal + Fall Replay 2 is Normal Replay 1 + Fall Replay + Special Replay 1, and Normal + Fall Replay 3 is Normal Replay 1 + Fall Replay + It is Special Replay 2.

  Normal + Special Replay 1 is Normal Replay 1 + Normal Replay 2 + Normal Replay 3 + Special Replay 1 and Normal + Special Replay 2 is Normal Replay 1 + Normal Replay 2 + Special Replay 1 and Normal + Special Replay 3 Normal Replay 1 + Normal Replay 2 + Normal Replay 3 + Elevated Replay + Special Replay 1 and Normal + Special Replay 4 are Normal Replay 1 + Normal Replay 2 + Normal Replay 3 + Special Replay 3 and Normal + Special Replay 5 Normal Replay 2 + Normal Replay 3 + Special Replay 3 and Normal + Special Replay 6 are Normal Replay 1 + Normal Replay 2 + Normal Replay 3 + Elevated Replay + Special Replay 3 and Special Replay 7 and Normal Replay 1 + Normal Replay 2 + Special Replay 1 + Special Replay 2 + Special Replay 3.

  In this embodiment, when a plurality of types of small winning combination are simultaneously won, as shown in FIG. Control is performed to align and stop within the lead-in range of up to four frames.

  If the left bell 1 (down right bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 4) is won and the stop operation is performed by left pressing (stop operation to stop the left reel first), the winning combination of the winning combination Control is performed to align the bell combination to the payline LN and to stop it, and when the stop operation is performed by middle press (stop operation to stop the middle reel first) or right press (stop operation to stop the right reel first) A control is performed to align and stop any combination of the upper bell 1, the upper bell 4 or the transition point with the pay line LN.

  If the left bell 2 (down right bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3) is won, and a stop operation is performed by left pressing, the combination of the right down bells among the winning combinations is aligned with the pay line LN and stopped When the stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed to align and stop any combination of the upper bell 2, the upper bell 3 or the transition result with the pay line LN.

  If the left bell 3 (down right bell + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7) is won, and the stop operation is performed by left pressing, the combination of the right down bells among the winning combinations is aligned with the pay line LN and stopped When the stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed to align and stop any combination of the upper bell 6, the upper bell 7 or the transition result with the pay line LN.

  If the left bell 4 (down right bell + upper bell 5 + upper bell 8) is won, and the stop operation is performed by left pressing, the combination of the right down bells among the winning combinations is aligned with the pay line LN and stopped When the stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed to align and stop any combination of the upper bell 5, the upper bell 8 or the transition result with the pay line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the design symbols of the right-down bell are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less on all reels, and when the left bells 1 to 4 are won, the stop operation is performed by left pressing. In this case, regardless of the timing of the stop operation, control is always performed to align the right-down bell to the payline LN, while the symbols constituting the upper bells 1 to 8 are at intervals of 5 frames or more in all reels. Because there is a place where it is placed, even if the left bells 1 to 4 are won, if the stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, it will be the drawing range of the top left bells 1 to 8 that have won. If the stop operation is not performed at an appropriate timing, the winning upper bell can not be aligned with the pay line LN, and in this case, it is controlled so that the transition outcome is aligned with the pay line LN.

  When the middle bell 1 (middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 6) is won and the stop operation is performed by middle pressing, the control of aligning the middle bell combination among the winning small winnings to the pay line LN and stopping is performed When a stop operation is performed by left press or right press, control is performed to align and stop any combination of upper bell 1, upper bell 6 or transition outcome with the pay line LN.

  If the middle bell 2 (middle bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 5) is won, and the stop operation is performed by middle pressing, the control for aligning the middle bell combination among the winning combinations for the winning line LN and stopping is performed. When the stop operation is performed by left press or right press, control is performed to align and stop any combination of the upper bell 2, the upper bell 5 or the transition result with the pay line LN.

  If the middle bell 3 (middle bell + upper bell 3 + upper bell 8) is won and the stop operation is performed by middle pressing, the control for aligning the middle bell combination among the winning small winnings to the pay line LN and stopping is performed When the stop operation is performed by left press or right press, control is performed to align and stop any combination of the upper bell 3, the upper bell 8 or the transition result with the pay line LN.

  When the middle bell 4 (middle bell + upper bell 4 + upper bell 7) is won, and the stop operation is performed by middle pressing, the control for aligning the middle bell combination among the winning combinations for the winning line LN and stopping is performed. When the stop operation is performed by left press or right press, control is performed to align and stop any combination of the upper bell 4, the upper bell 7 or the transition result with the pay line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the design symbols of the middle bell are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less in all reels, and when the middle bells 1 to 4 are won, the stop operation is performed by middle pushing. While the control to align the middle bell to the pay line LN is always performed regardless of the timing of the stop operation, the symbols constituting the upper bells 1 to 8 are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or more in all reels Because there is a part, even if the middle bell 1 to 4 is elected, when the stop operation is performed by the left push or right push, it is appropriate to be the pull-in range of the design symbols of the upper bell 1 to 8 elected If the stop operation is not performed at the timing, the winning upper bell can not be aligned with the pay line LN, and in this case, it is controlled so that the transition outcome is aligned with the pay line LN.

  When the right bell 1 (middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 7) is won, and the stop operation is performed by right pushing, control for aligning the middle bell combination among the winning combinations for the winning line LN and stopping it When the stop operation is performed by left press or middle press, control is performed to align and stop any combination of the upper bell 1, the upper bell 7 or the transition result with the pay line LN.

  If the right bell 2 (middle bell + upper bell 3 + upper bell 5) is won, and a stop operation is performed by right pushing, control of aligning the middle bell combination among the winning combinations for the winning line LN and stopping When the stop operation is performed by left press or middle press, control is performed to align and stop any combination of the upper bell 1, the upper bell 7 or the transition result with the pay line LN.

  If the right bell 3 (middle bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 8) is won, and a stop operation is performed by right pushing, control of aligning the middle bell combination among the won in the winning combination to the payline LN and stopping When the stop operation is performed by left press or middle press, control is performed to align and stop any combination of the upper bell 4, the upper bell 6 or the transition result with the pay line LN.

  If the right bell 4 (middle bell + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6) is won, and a stop operation is performed by right pushing, control of aligning the middle bell combination among the winning combinations for the winning line LN and stopping it When the stop operation is performed by left press or middle press, control is performed to align and stop any combination of the upper bell 4, the upper bell 6 or the transition result with the pay line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the design symbols of the middle bell are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less in all reels, and when the right bells 1 to 4 are won, the stop operation is performed by pressing the right. On the other hand, regardless of the timing of the stop operation, control is always performed to align the middle bell to the payline LN, while the symbols constituting the upper bells 1 to 8 are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or more on all reels. Even if the right bells 1 to 4 are won, there is a place where the right bell 1 to 4 is won, but if the stop operation is performed by left pressing or middle pressing, the drawing range of the upper stage bell 1 to 8 won is appropriate. If the stop operation is not performed at the timing, the winning upper bell can not be aligned with the pay line LN, and in this case, it is controlled so that the transition outcome is aligned with the pay line LN.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when one of the left bell, the middle bell, the right bell, that is, the push order bell is won, the right fall by performing the stop operation in the operation mode according to the type of the winning combination. While the bell or middle bell always wins, by performing the stop operation in an operation mode other than the operation mode according to the type of winning combination, the upper bell is aligned at 1/4, but the upper bell is aligned at 3/4 There are also times when the transition results are aligned.

  For this reason, when the push order bell is won, the expected value of the number of medals to be paid out can be changed depending on whether or not the operation mode is operated in accordance with the type of the winning combination. In other words, even if one of the push order bells wins, it is not possible to intentionally select a specific operation mode without knowing the type, and if the push order matches, it is ensured that the lower right bell or the middle bell Although medals can be reliably acquired by winning, medals can only be acquired at a certain rate if the pushing order does not match.

  As shown in FIG. 20, in the present embodiment, when a plurality of replay player combinations are simultaneously elected, the player wins a replay player combination determined in accordance with the type of the replay player combination elected simultaneously and the stop operation order. Control is performed to align and stop within the lead-in range of up to 4 frames on the line.

  When fall + promotion Replay 1 (promotion Replay + fall replay) is won and the stop operation is performed by the left push, the control for stopping the combination of the promotion replays among the winning replay players in the winning line LN is stopped. When the stop operation is performed by the center push or the right push, the control of stopping the combination of the fall replays in alignment with the pay line LN is performed.

  When fall + promotion Replay 2 (normal Replay 1 + promotion Replay + fall replay) is won, and the stop operation is performed in the middle left and right order, the combination of promotion Replay among the winning replay roles is aligned with the winning line LN When the stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle and left and right, control is performed to align and stop the combination of fall and fall replay on the pay line LN.

  When the fall + promotion Replay 3 (normal Replay 1 + normal Replay 2 + promotion Replay + fall replay) is won, and the stop operation is performed in the middle right-left order, the combination of the promotion replays among the winning replay players is the winning line Control to align and stop to LN is performed, and when a stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle right, left, and left, control to align a combination of fall and fall replay to the pay line LN and to stop is performed.

  If the fall + promotion Replay 4 (normal Replay 1 + normal Replay 3 + promotion Replay + fall replay) is won, and the stop operation is performed in the middle left, right, left, the combination of the promotion replays among the winning replay players wins the line Control to align and stop to LN is performed, and when a stop operation is performed in an order other than middle left and right, control to align and stop a combination of fall and fall replays to a pay line LN is performed.

  When fall + promotion Replay 5 (normal Replay 1 + promotion Replay + fall Replay + special Replay 1) is won, and a stop operation is made in the right middle left order, the combination of promotion replays among the winning replay players is selected. Control is performed to align and stop the pay line LN, and when stop operations are performed in an order other than right, middle, left, control is performed to align and stop the combination of falling falls replay on the pay line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the symbols constituting the elevated replay and the fall replay are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less in all of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R. Regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R, the reel control is performed so that the promotion replay or the fall replay always wins.

  Thus, in the fall + promotion replay 1 to 5, different operation manners are set as operation manners for winning the promotion replay.

  Therefore, in RT1 in which the fall + promotion replay 1 to 5 becomes the target of the internal lottery, any one of the fall + promotion replay 1 to 5 is won, and the promotion replay is achieved by matching the operation mode according to the type. Wins and moves to RT2.

  When the normal + fall Replay 1 (normal Replay 1 + fall Replay) is won, and the stop operation is performed by the left push, the control for aligning the combination of the normal Replay 1 among the winning replay players to the payline LN and stopping When the stop operation is performed by the middle push or the right push, the control of stopping the combination of the fall replays in alignment with the pay line LN is performed.

  When the normal + fall Replay 2 (normal Replay 1 + fall Replay + special Replay 1) is won, and the stop operation is performed by middle pressing, the combination of the normal Replay 1 among the winning replay players is aligned with the payline LN. Control to stop is performed, and when the stop operation is performed by left press or right press, control is performed to align the combination of fall and fall replay with the pay line LN and to stop.

  When the normal + fall Replay 3 (normal Replay 1 + fall Replay + special Replay 2) is won and the stop operation is performed in the right-pushing order, the combination of the normal Replays 1 among the winning replay roles is the winning line LN When the stop operation is performed in the order of the left push or the middle push, control of aligning the combination of the fall and fall replays with the pay line LN and stopping is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the symbols constituting the normal replay 1 and the fall replay are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less in all of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C and the right reel 2R. Reel control is performed such that normal Replay 1 or Fall Replay always wins regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R.

  As described above, in normal + fall replay 1 to 3, different operation modes are set as operation modes for avoiding fall replay.

  Therefore, if any of normal + fall replays 1 to 3 is won in RT 2 and RT 3 where normal + fall replays 1 to 3 are targets of the internal lottery, the operation mode that matches normal replays matches Although the transition to RT1 can be avoided, if it does not coincide with the operation mode for winning the normal replay, the fall replay will be won and the transition to RT1 will be made.

  When the normal + special replay 1 (normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + normal replay 3 + special replay 1) is won, and the stop operation is performed in the left middle right order, the combination of the special replay 1 among the winning replay roles Is controlled to align with the payline LN and stopped, and when the stop operation is performed in an order other than left middle, right, control to align any combination of normal replay 1 to 3 with the payline LN and to stop Do.

  When the normal + special replay 2 (normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + special replay 1) is won, and the stop operation is performed in the middle left / right order, the combination of the special replay 1 among the won in the winning combination When the stop operation is performed in the order other than middle left or right, control is performed to align any combination of normal replay 1 and 2 with the pay line LN and to stop.

  When the normal + special replay 3 (normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + normal replay 3 + promotion replay + special replay 1) is won, and the stop operation is performed in the middle left / right order, the special replay 1 of the winning replay roles is Control is performed to align and stop the combination of the winning lines LN, and when the stopping operation is performed in an order other than middle left and right, control to align any of the combinations of Replay 1 to 3 to the winning lines LN and stop I do.

  When the normal + special replay 4 (normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + ordinary replay 3 + special replay 3) is won, and the stop operation is performed in the middle right left order, the combination of the special replay 3 among the winning replay roles is selected. A control is performed to align and stop the pay line LN, and when a stop operation is performed in an order other than middle right and left, control is performed to align any combination of normal replay 1 to 3 with the pay line LN and stop.

  When the normal + special replay 5 (normal replay 2 + ordinary replay 3 + special replay 3) is won, and the stop operation is performed in the middle left, the combination of the special replays 3 among the won in the winning combination is the winning line LN. When the stop operation is performed in an order other than middle left and right, control is performed to align and stop any combination of normal replays 2 and 3 with the pay line LN.

  When the normal + special replay 6 (normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + normal replay 3 + promotion replay + special replay 3) is won, and the stop operation is performed in the right middle left order, the special replay among the winning replay players Control is performed to align the combination of 3 to the payline LN and to stop it, and when the stop operation is performed in an order other than right middle left, one of the combinations of normal replay 1 to 3 is aligned with the payline LN and stopped Control.

  When the normal + special replay 7 (normal replay 1 + normal replay 2 + special replay 1 + special replay 2 + special replay 3) is won, and the stop operation is performed by the left push, the special replay 1 to 3 of the won Control is performed to align and stop any combination of the above in the pay line LN, and when a stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed to align the combination of normal replay 1 to the pay line LN and to stop.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the symbols constituting the special replays 1 to 3 and the regular replays 1 to 3 are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less in all of the left reel 2L, middle reel 2C and right reel 2R, Reel control is performed so that special replays 1 to 3 or normal replays 1 to 3 always win, regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R according to the stop operation order.

  As described above, in normal and special replays 1 to 6, different operation modes are set as operation modes for winning special replay.

  Therefore, when any one of normal + special replay 1 to 6 is won in RT 2 and 3 where the normal + special replay 1 to 6 is the target of the internal lottery, the operation mode to match the special replay is matched. If so, the special replay is won, and in particular if it is RT2, it will shift to RT3, but if it does not match, the regular replay will be won.

  Also, the normal + special replay 7 is subject to the internal lottery only at RT1, but in this case, if the stop operation is performed by left pressing, special replay will be won and transition to RT3 will be made, but middle pressing or right pressing In the case where the stop operation is performed, the normal replay only wins.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, it is controlled to any one of RT0 to RT3.

  RT0 transitions after changing the setting. Then, regardless of the number of games after the transition to RT0, RT0 ends by transitioning to RT1 by stopping the transition.

  The winning probability of the replay player in RT0 is about 1 / 7.3, and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1. As described above, as the replay role, only the normal replay is the target of the internal lottery, and only the ordinary replay can be won.

  RT1 shifts when the transition outcome stops at RT0, RT2, RT3, or when the fall replay wins at RT2,3. Then, RT1 is ended by transitioning to RT2 when the promotion replay wins, or transition to RT3 when the special replay wins.

  The winning probability of the replay player in RT1 is approximately 1 / 7.3, and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1. As described above, as replay players, normal replay, special replay, fall + promotion replay 1 to 5 and normal + special replay 7 are considered as internal lottery targets, and normal replay, promotion replay, fall replay, special replay Can win a prize.

  The RT2 is transitioned to when the promotion replay is won in the RT1 (when one of the fall + promotion replays 1 to 5 is won and the promotion replay is stopped in the order of winning). Then, RT2 is ended by transitioning to RT1 due to a stop of a fall fall replay play or transition appearance or transition to RT3 due to a special replay play.

  The winning probability of the replay player in RT2 is about 1 / 3.06, and the payout rate of medals per game is less than one. As described above, as replay players, normal replay, normal + fall replay 1 to 3 and normal + special replay 1 to 6 are targeted for internal lottery, and normal replay, fall replay and special replay can be won. .

  RT3 is when Special Replay is won in RT1 (when Special Replay is won, or when Normal + Special Replay 7 is won and left operation is stopped by stop operation), or when Special Replay is won in RT 2 (Normal) + When special replay 1 to 6 is won, and the special replay is stopped in the order of winning, the transition is made). Then, RT3 ends when the fall replay is won or the transition outcome is stopped and the transition to RT1 is made.

  The winning probability of the replay player in RT3 is approximately 1 / 1.27, and the payout rate of medals per game is 1 or more. As described above, as replay players, normal replay, normal + fall replay 1 to 3 and normal + special replay 1 to 6 are targeted for internal lottery, and normal replay, fall replay and special replay can be won. . In the present embodiment, in particular, the normal replays to be subjected to the internal lottery, the normal + fall fall replays 1 to 3, and the normal + special replays 1 to 6 among the normal play + special replay 1 to 6 is the highest probability The winning probability of the part is determined (Normal Replay: about 1 / 4.44, Normal + Fall Replay 1 to 3: About 1/3. 61, Normal + Special Replay 1 to 6: About 1/3. 51) .

  Among RT0 to RT3, RT3 is the highest medal payout rate per game, and is the most advantageous gaming state.

  In RT2 among RT0 to RT2, the winning probability of the replay player is higher than RT0 or 1 and the payout rate of medals per game is higher than RT0 or 1 in RT0 or 1 It can be said that the player is more advantageous than the player.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the gaming state is RT1 to RT3, the sub control unit 91 produces an assist time (hereinafter referred to as an AT) which is an announcement period in which navigation effects for notifying internal lottery results can be performed It is possible to control the state.

  Here, the transition of the gaming state of this embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 13, after the setting change, the control is first controlled to RT0. At RT0, transition to RT1 is performed by stopping the transition.

  Because one of the left bell 1 to 4, the middle bell 1 to 4, and the right bell 1 to 4 is won at RT0 and the small part can not be won, the transition outcome is stopped, Shift to RT1 if any of the left bell 1-4, middle bell 1-4, right bell 1-4 is won in RT3 that has been shifted after changing settings, and the small part can not be won It becomes.

  At RT1, the promotion replay moves to RT2 by winning. Since the fall replay + promotion 1 to 5 is won in RT1 and the promotion replay will be won if the stop order is correct, in RT1 the fall + promotion 1 to 5 is won, and the correct answer order to RT2 It will be migrated. Also, in RT1, special replay is won or normal plus special replay 7 is won, and the special replay is won, and the process shifts to RT3.

  At RT2, the fall replay is won, or the transition is stopped to shift to RT1, and the special replay is shifted to RT3.

  In RT2, normal + fall replays 1 to 3 are won, and the fall replay is won because the stop order is incorrect. Further, when any one of the left bell 1 to 4, the middle bell 1 to 4, and the right bell 1 to 4 is won, and the small part can not be won, the transition appearance stops. For this reason, in RT 2, normal + fall replays 1 to 3 are won, and the stop order becomes incorrect, or one of left bell 1 to 4, middle bell 1 to 4, and right bell 1 to 4 is won, If it is not possible to win the small part, it will shift to RT1. On the other hand, in RT 2, the normal replay + special replay 1 to 6 is won, and the special replay is won when the stop order is correct. For this reason, in RT2, normal + special replay 1 to 6 is won, and when the stop order is correct, the process shifts to RT3.

  At RT 3, the fall replay wins, or the transition is stopped to shift to RT 1. At RT 3, normal + fall replays 1 to 3 are won, and the fall replay is won because the stop order is incorrect. Further, when any one of the left bell 1 to 4, the middle bell 1 to 4, and the right bell 1 to 4 is won, and the small part can not be won, the transition appearance stops. For this reason, in the RT3, the normal + fall replay 1 to 3 is won, and the stop order becomes incorrect, or any of the left bell 1 to 4, the middle bell 1 to 4, and the right bell 1 to 4 is won, If it is not possible to win the small part, it will shift to RT1.

  In the present embodiment, the RAM 507 is a special replay continuous prize which counts the number of consecutive special prizes which is the number of times the special replay is consecutively won without the regular replay being won when the normal replay + special replay 1 to 6 is won. The number counter is assigned, and the main control section 41 adds 1 to the value of the special replay continuous winning number counter when the special replay is won in the game in which the normal plus special replay 1 to 6 is won, When the replay is won, the value of the special replay continuous winning number counter is cleared (updated to 0).

  In addition, when the value of the special replay continuous winning number counter becomes 7, the main control unit 41 sets a freeze flag indicating control to freeze state in the RAM 507 and clears the value of the special replay continuous winning number counter. Do (update to 0). Then, the main control unit 41 controls the freeze state for a certain period of time when the start operation of the next game is performed in accordance with the setting of the freeze flag, and delays the start of the reel rotation.

  The sub control unit 91 performs an AT lottery to determine whether or not to control AT when winning middle cherry, weak cherry, strong cherry, weak one, strong one, weak watermelon, and strong watermelon. During AT, the net increase of medals is calculated by subtracting the number of medals used by the player for setting the number of bets from the number of medals obtained by the player as the number of medals obtained by the player. When the obtained number reaches 50, which is a predetermined number (hereinafter, also referred to as “the number of AT ending sheets” or simply “the number of ending sheets”), the AT ends. If the AT lottery is won during AT, the number of endings is increased by 50 per one winning, and if the number of medals won by the player is equal to the number of endings of AT, the number of endings is 50 Is added and controlled by the AT for an extended period after the termination condition of the AT is satisfied.

  When the sub-control unit 91 is in a state not controlled by the AT in RT1 to RT3, the control to the AT can be performed on the condition that the number of sheets to be finished in the AT has not been reached.

  Specifically, in RT1 to RT3 (mainly RT1), the sub-control unit 91 controls the AT when the player's acquired number has not reached the end number. During the period from RT1 to RT3, the player is controlled by the AT without counting the number of medals acquired, and navigation effects can be performed. Under the present circumstances, in RT1 it becomes the object of the navi effect when winning downfall + promotion replay 1 to 5 and in navi production, it is informed of the pushing order to win the promotion replay upon winning of fall + promotion replay 1 to 5. It is possible to shift from RT1 to RT2 by performing the stop operation according to the notified pressing order.

  In addition, after the control start of the AT, during the transition from RT1 to RT2 also, the push order for winning the bell is notified when the bell is won, so by performing the stop operation in accordance with the notified push order, the medals can be reliably made. It is also possible to earn

  In RT2, it is the target of the navi effect at the time of winning normal + special replay 1 to 6, and in the navi effect, it is informed that the pushing order for winning the special replay at the time of winning normal + special replay 1 to 6 is notified. It is possible to shift from RT2 to RT3 by performing the stop operation according to the pressing order.

  In addition, during the transition from RT2 to RT3 after the start of control of the AT, when the normal + fall fall replay 1 to 3 is won, a push order for avoiding the fall fall replay is notified, so the stop operation is performed according to the informed push order. Thus, it is possible to avoid transition to RT1 and to notify the pushing order for winning the bell at the time of winning the pushing order bell. Therefore, by performing the stop operation in accordance with the informed pushing order, medals are surely acquired, And the transition to RT1 can be avoided.

  After the start of AT, when transitioning from RT2 to RT3, the ART is started, and the player starts counting the number of medals acquired.

  After ART starts, when the normal + fall fall replays 1 to 3 are won, a push order for avoiding fall fall replays is notified. By performing the stop operation according to the informed push order, it is possible to avoid transition to RT1. Since the pushing order for winning the bell is notified when the pushing order bell is won, by performing the stop operation in accordance with the informed pushing order, it is possible to surely obtain a medal and avoid transition to RT1.

  The sub control unit 91 controls the ART in a period until the number of medals acquired by the player reaches the number of ATs. When the number of games remains and the target role of the navigation is won, the navigation effect is executed.

  Thereafter, when the number of medals obtained by the player reaches the end number of ATs and the end number of ATs is not added, the ART is ended and controlled to non-AT.

  When it is controlled to non-AT, the navigation effect is not executed. Thereby, when it is RT3, the possibility that the transition results will be increased is increased, and the possibility of moving to RT1 is increased.

  In addition, when the end number of ATs is added, the number of medals obtained by the player is continuously controlled by ART until the number of ATs reaches the end number of ATs.

  When the sub control unit 91 is controlled by the AT or the ART, the sub control unit 91 executes the navigation effect by winning the navigation target role according to the gaming state. The navigation target role according to the gaming state, when it is RT1, is fall + promotion replay 1 to 5 and push order bell, and when it is RT 2 it is normal + fall replay 1 to 3, normal + special replay 1 to 6 When the push order bell and RT3 are, the normal + fall replay 1 to 3 and the push order bell.

  As the navigation effect when winning in the fall + promotional replay 1 to 5, the pushing order (see FIG. 20) for winning the promotion replay is notified according to the winning situation. For example, as a navigation effect when winning the fall + promotion replay 1, a message such as “left middle right!” Or “right and left middle!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, as the navigation effect when winning the fall + promotion replay 2, a message such as “middle right and left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, as a navigation effect when winning the fall + promotion Replay 3, a message such as “middle right left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, as a navigation effect when winning the fall + promotion Replay 4, a message such as “right, left, middle!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, as a navigation effect when winning the fall + promotion replay 5, a message such as “right middle left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  As the navi effect when the normal + fall replay 1 to 3 is won, a pushing order (see FIG. 20) for notifying the promotion replay according to the winning situation is notified. For example, as the navigation effect when the normal + fall replay 1 is won, a message such as “left middle right!” Or “left right middle!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as the navigation effect when the normal + fall replay 2 is won, a message such as “middle left and right!” Or “middle right left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as the navigation effect when the normal + fall replay 3 is won, a message such as “right left middle!” Or “right middle left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  As a navi effect when the normal + special replay 1 to 6 is won, a push order (see FIG. 20) for notifying the special replay according to the winning situation is informed. For example, as a navigation effect when winning the normal + special replay 1, a message “left middle right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as the navigation effect when the normal replay + special replay 2 is won, a message such as “right and left middle!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as the navigation effect when the normal + special replay 3 is won, a message such as “middle left and right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as the navigation effect when the normal replay + special replay 4 is won, a message such as “middle right left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as the navigation effect when the normal replay + special replay 5 is won, a message of “right, left, middle!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, as the navigation effect when the normal replay + special replay 6 is won, a message such as “right middle left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  In addition, as the navigation effect when winning in any of the pushing order bells, a pushing order (see FIG. 19) for informing the right falling bell or the middle bell reliably is notified. For example, when the left bell is won, by stopping the left reel as the first stop reel, it is possible to reliably win the right-down bell, so “left middle right for stopping the left reel as the first stop reel A message such as “!” Or “right and left inside” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, when the middle bell is won, the middle bell can be reliably won by stopping the middle reel as the first stop reel, so “middle left and right!” For stopping the middle reel as the first stop reel. Or, a message such as “middle right left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, when the right bell is won, the middle bell can be reliably won by stopping the right reel as the first stop reel, so “right and left middle!” For stopping the right reel as the first stop reel. Alternatively, a message such as “right middle left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  As described above, in the navi effect in the present embodiment, a message reminiscent of an operation mode that is advantageous for the player is notified in the same mode regardless of the type of navigation target combination. Therefore, the player can operate in an operation mode that is advantageous to the player without being aware of the type of the selected navigation target role.

  The mode of the navi effect is not limited to such a mode, and may be any mode as long as the player can distinguish according to the winning situation. The navigation effect is not limited to the one displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, but may be performed using the effect effect LED 52, the speakers 53 and 54, the reel LED 55, and the like.

  And, by performing the navi effect, it is possible to avoid the purpose of winning a promotion replay, a special replay, a bell, a winning of a fall replay, a stop of a transition appearance, and a deliberately elected promotion replay.

  Next, various control contents executed by the sub control unit 91 in the present embodiment will be described below based on FIGS.

  When the system reset signal is input from the reset circuit 95, the sub control unit 91 performs start processing (sub) shown in the flowchart of FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 21, in the activation process (sub), first, the sub control unit 91 initializes the built-in device, peripheral IC, interrupt mode, stack pointer etc. (Sn1), and then RAM 91c and external memory (backup Permit access to RAM) (Sn2). Next, it is determined whether or not the return command generated at Sa9 of the start process (main) of FIG. 5 has been received from the main control unit 41 (Sn3). If the return command has not been received, it is determined whether the setting change-in-progress command generated in Sa12 of the start process (main) of FIG. 5 has been received from the main control unit 41 (Sn4). If the command under setting change is received, a setting change command receiving flag indicating that the command under setting change is received is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c (Sn5).

  After the setting change-in-command reception flag is set, it is determined whether the backup flag is set in the RAM 91c (Sn6). If it is determined that the backup flag is set, the backup flag is cleared (Sn7). After clearing the backup flag, the exclusive OR of the backup data of the area stored in the backup RAM is calculated to calculate the checksum (Sn8). After this, it is determined whether the calculated checksum matches the checksum being backed up (Sn9). If the checksums match, it is determined whether the setting change in-progress command reception flag is set (Sn10).

  If it is determined that the command under setting change is not received, it is determined whether the error command generated in Sa13 of the start process (main) of FIG. 5 is received from the main control unit 41 ( Sn13). If it is determined that an error command has been received, initialization of the RAM 91c is executed (Sn14), and error processing is performed (Sn15). In the error processing, an error notification is made. For example, when the error state is released by operating the reset / setting switch 38 by the game clerk, the error notification is ended and the original state is restored. If it is determined in Sn13 that an error command has not been received, that is, if a setting change command, a return command, and an error command have not been received, initialization of the RAM 91c is executed (Sn12) . After the process of Sn12 is completed, the timer interrupt process (sub) shown in FIG. 22 is performed in response to the timer interrupt.

  FIG. 22 is a flowchart of timer interrupt processing (sub) executed by the CPU 91 c at intervals of 1.12 seconds based on the count value of the internal clock.

  In the timer interrupt process (sub), first, the register in use is saved in the stack area (Sb1). Next, a power failure determination process is performed (Sb2). In the power failure determination process, it is determined whether or not the voltage drop signal is input from the power failure detection circuit 48. If the voltage drop signal is input, the voltage drop signal is also input in the previous power failure determination process. If a voltage drop signal is input even in the previous power failure determination process, it is determined that a power failure has occurred, and a power failure flag indicating that is set.

  After the power failure determination processing in the step of Sb2, it is determined whether or not the power failure flag is set (Sb3), and if the power failure flag is set, the processing shifts to power failure processing (sub). In the power-off process (sub), the backup flag used in the determination of Sn6 in the start process (sub) shown in FIG. 21 is set after creation of backup data, or used in the determination of Sn9 in the start process (sub) shown in FIG. Execute processing such as calculating checksum by calculating exclusive OR of backup data.

  If the power-off flag is not set, command analysis processing is executed (Sb4). In command analysis processing, it is determined whether or not a command is stored in the command buffer, and if the command is stored in the command buffer, the command is acquired from the command buffer. Then, the processing corresponding to the acquired command is executed.

  In the step of Sb5, an AT lottery process of performing an AT lottery to determine whether to control to the AT is executed (Sb5).

  In the step of Sb6, an AT control process is carried out to provide a navigation effect when the player is selected as a navigation target in the AT game (Sb6). In the AT control process, the result of the internal lottery is specified based on the win number command received from the main control unit 41 during AT, and the navigation effect is selected when it is specified that the navigation target role to be the target of the navigation effect is won. Run.

  In the step of Sb7, the user is prompted to operate the stop switch 8L when the symbols in the specific range (see FIG. 3) of the symbol numbers “0” to “2” on the reel 2L described above are displayed. That is, the specific range navigation effect execution processing is executed to urge the operation of the stop switch 8L at the specific timing (Sb7).

  In step Sb8, an acquired number counting process is performed to count the acquired number of medals acquired by the player when being controlled by AT at RT3, that is, being controlled by ART (Sb8). As described above, during AT, the number of medals obtained by the player as the number of medals obtained by the player is the number of medals obtained by the player minus the number of medals used for setting the number of bets. The net increase number is counted, and when it reaches 50, which is the end number of AT, AT ends. If the AT lottery is won during AT, the number of endings is increased by 50 per one winning, and if the number of medals won by the player is equal to the number of endings of AT, the number of endings is 50 Is added and controlled by the AT for an extended period after the termination condition of the AT is satisfied.

  In the step of Sb9, when the AT lottery is further won during AT, 50 sheets are added to the AT end number of sheets per one winning (that is, the end number is increased by 50) to execute the end number increase processing ( Sb 9).

  In step Sb10, a process is performed to end the AT when the number of medals obtained by the player during AT reaches the end number (Sb10). If the number of medals obtained by the player ends in the same number as the number of AT's end, 50 will be added to the number of the end, and it is controlled by the AT even after the AT's end condition is satisfied. .

  Although not shown in detail, in the timer interrupt process (sub), in addition to the processes described above, execution processes of various effects are also performed.

  Next, the AT lottery process executed by Sb5 of the timer interrupt process (sub) of FIG. 22 will be described using FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 23, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the winning number command has been received from the main control unit 41 (Sc1). If the winning number command has not been received, the process ends. When the win number command is received, the result of the internal lottery is specified based on the win number command, and it is determined whether the lottery condition of the AT lottery is satisfied (Sc2). Specifically, it is determined whether or not any of middle cherries, weak cherries, strong cherries, 1 weak, 1 strong, 1 weak watermelon, and 1 strong watermelon have been won. If the lottery condition of the AT lottery is not established, the process is ended.

  When the lottery condition of the AT lottery is satisfied, the AT lottery process is executed (Sc3). Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the AT lottery executed in the AT lottery process is won (Sc4). If the AT lottery is not won, the process is ended.

  If the AT lottery is won, an AT flag indicating that the AT is to be controlled is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c, and the process is ended (Sc5).

  Next, with reference to FIG. 24, the specific range navigation effect execution processing to be executed in Sb7 of the timer interrupt processing (sub) of FIG. 22 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 24, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the winning number command has been received from the main control unit 41 (Sg1). If the winning number command has not been received, the process ends.

  When the winning number command is received, it is determined whether or not one weak (see FIG. 17) or one strong (see FIG. 17) winning is made based on the winning number command (Sg2). If no win is made, the process is ended. When one of the wins has been won, a specific range navigation effect for urging the user to operate the stop switch 8L is performed in a recommended procedure (that is, a specific timing) (Sg3). In the specific range navigation effect, the liquid crystal display 51 displays the characters “CHANNEL!”.

  As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 10 and FIG. 17, in order to make both cherries and watermelons winable, the designs of the symbol numbers “0” to “2” which is a specific range are on the top of the perspective window 3 It is necessary to operate the stop switch 8L at a specific timing located in the middle and lower stages. Therefore, when it is suggested that the player has won the cherry or the watermelon by the specific range navigation effect, the player tries to operate the stop switch 8L in the recommended procedure. This urges the user to operate the stop switch 8L in the recommended procedure.

  In this way, when one weak card or one strong card is won, the specific range navigation effect is executed by Sg3 and the chance eye is made to be easily displayed by urging to operate the stop switch 8L in the recommended procedure. . This makes it possible to quickly recognize that the AT lottery has been won, and can enhance the interest in the game.

  In addition, perform AT lottery only when the chance eye is displayed, or when the chance eye is displayed, perform AT lottery under a higher winning probability than when one weak card or one strong card is won, etc. Thus, when the stop switch 8L is operated in the recommended procedure, it may be advantageous.

  Next, the number-of-acquired sheets counting process executed by Sb 8 of the timer interrupt process (sub) of FIG. 22 will be described using FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 25, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether the AT flag is set in Sc5 of FIG. 23 (Se1). That is, it is determined whether AT is being executed. If the AT flag is not set, the process ends. On the other hand, when the AT flag is set, it is determined based on the RT2 information command from the main control unit 41 whether or not the transition to RT3 is underway (Se2). That is, it is determined whether it is in ART. If it is not during RT3 (ART), the process is ended.

  If it is in RT3 (ART), it is determined whether or not a reel rotation start command has been received from the main control unit 41 (Se3). That is, the number of bets is set, the start switch 7 is operated, and it is determined whether or not the game is started. If the reel rotation start command has not been received, the process proceeds to Se5. When the reel rotation start command is received, three are subtracted from the count value of the obtained number counter for counting the number of medals obtained by the player during AT (that is, ART) (Se4). Since three medals are set as the number of bets in one game in the slot machine 1, three are subtracted from the count value in the step of Se4.

  In the step of Se5, it is determined whether or not the winning number command has been received from the main control unit 41 (Se5). If the winning number command has not been received, the process proceeds to Se8. When the winning number command is received, the result of the internal lottery is specified based on the winning number command, and it is determined whether or not one weak card or one strong card is won (Se6). If one weak card or one strong card is won, the process proceeds to Se8. If one weak card or one strong card has not been won, the payout number corresponding to the type of the small winning combination is added to the count value of the obtained number counter when the winning combination is won (Se7).

  Here, as shown in FIG. 19, in the pushing order bell, the pushing order is the specific operation order (the left bell 1 to 4 is the left first stop, the middle bell 1 to 4 is the middle first stop, the right bell 1 to 4 is The bell is awarded at the time of the first right stop and 15 medals can be obtained, but in the case of an order other than the specific operation order, the transition outcome may be stopped and the medal may not be obtained. However, in the process of Se7, when the pushing order bell is won, 15 sheets are added to the count value of the obtained sheet counter regardless of the actual pushing order. By this, it is selected whether the pushing order is to be the specific operation order or the order other than the specific operation order (that is, the number of medals to be paid out is selected), and the number of medals acquired by the AT is adjusted. Can be prevented. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the intentional delay that the number of medals acquired by the AT reaches the number of finish medals. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game from being played in an unfair manner in which the AT is intentionally extended while the AT lottery is again won and the AT is continued.

  In the step of Se8, it is determined whether or not a winning number command has been received from the main control unit 41 (Se8). If the winning number command has not been received, the process ends. When the winning number command is received, the winning result is specified from the winning number command, and it is determined whether one weak or one strong is winning (Se9). If one weak card or one strong card is not won, the process is ended. When one weak card or one strong card is won, the process is terminated by adding "1" corresponding to one sheet obtained in the winning to the obtained sheet number counter (Se10).

  As described above, when it is determined in the step of Se3 that it is not RT3, that is, when the AT is interrupted and moved to RT2 or the like, the count value in the number-of-acquisitions counter is not reset. By interrupting and adjusting the number of medals acquired by the AT, it is possible to prevent the intentional delay that the number of medals acquired by the AT reaches the end number. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game from being played in an unfair manner in which the AT is intentionally extended while the AT lottery is again won and the AT is continued.

  In addition, even if it is determined that one weak or one strong card is won in the step of Se6, if it is determined that one weak or one strong card is not won in the step of Se9, the number-of-earnings counter is used. Since the counting is not performed, the counting is not performed when the chance eye is derived by dropping one weak or one strong. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the interest in the game from being reduced when the chance is derived. In addition, operate the stop switch in the recommended procedure, and when you advance the game in an advantageous way so as to prevent the drop of the small part and lead the chance eyes, it is a weak one or the premise that it is missed Since one strong card is not counted, it is possible to prevent the end of the AT from being prematurely, and to prevent the interest in the game from being reduced.

  In addition, even if you try to extend the AT by stopping the small winning combination by operating the stop switch 8L in a procedure other than the recommended procedure, and try to increase the opportunity to add the number of AT completion, in Se7, one weak or one When a small winning combination other than a strong one is won, the number-of-earnings counter is used to count such actions. In addition, since it is possible to win the most small part in the recommended procedure, when the game is performed in the recommended procedure, for example, the player intentionally intends to drop the small part and gain a profit There will be no. However, when the stop switch 8L is operated in the recommended procedure, one weak one or one strong one is dropped. However, in the present invention, when one weak card or one strong card is dropped, the number-of-earnings counter is not counted. Therefore, the player who plays the game according to the recommended procedure is disadvantaged and the interest in the game is reduced because one card is not counted as a premise to be missed in performing the game according to the recommended procedure and displaying the chances. Can be prevented. In addition, it is more advantageous to play the game according to the recommended procedure by displaying the chance eye even if the same single missed game occurs, so it is the same for the case where the game is played according to the recommended procedure and the game performed according to the other procedures. It is possible to prevent the player who plays the game according to the recommended procedure from having an unfair feeling as the game at the AT is not performed under the conditions. This makes it possible to prevent the interest in the game from being reduced.

  In addition, when it is determined that one weak or one strong card has been won in Se9, the number of obtained sheets is counted, so the medal is awarded even though one weak card or one strong card is won. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of a situation that is not consistent with the progress of the game, that is, the counting is not performed without it.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 26, the process for increasing the number of sheets to be executed in Sb9 of the timer interrupt process (sub) of FIG. 22 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 26, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether the AT flag is set at Sc5 in FIG. 23 (Sh1). That is, it is determined whether AT is being executed. If the AT flag is not set, the process ends. On the other hand, when the AT flag is set, the AT lottery executed in Sc3 of FIG. 23 is performed, and it is determined whether or not the AT lottery has been won (Sh2). That is, the AT lottery condition is established during the AT, the AT lottery is performed, and it is determined whether or not the AT lottery is won. In other words, it is determined whether to add the number of ATs to be finished. If the AT lottery is not won, the process is ended. When the AT lottery is won, 50 sheets are subtracted from the count value of the obtained sheet number counter. As a result, the number of end sheets of the AT increases by 50 (that is, 50 sheets are added to the number of end sheets), and the AT is extended by one set (one set of the number of ends of 50 sheets). In addition, for example, when the count value of the acquisition number counter is 30 when subtracting 50 sheets from the count value of the acquisition number counter, subtraction is performed until the count value of the acquisition number counter becomes −20, etc. Even when the number of sheets to be subtracted is larger than the count value, subtraction is performed until the count value becomes negative.

  If the AT lottery is won during AT, the AT is extended by subtracting 50 from the number-of-earnings counter in Sh3. Can increase the sense of anticipation that the player will be dissatisfied with the game. Also, as the number of AT games increases over a long period, the expected value for the number of ATs to increase increases, and the expectation for the increase in AT numbers increases, thereby enhancing the interest in the game. be able to. In addition, since the count is not performed when one weak card or one strong card is won, it is possible to increase the expectation for the end number of the AT to be added.

  In the present embodiment, although the number of completed ATs is increased by subtracting 50 from the obtained number counter, the threshold to be compared with the number of medals obtained by the player at AT is changed from 50 to 100. Depending on the situation, the number of ATs may be increased.

  Next, AT termination control processing executed by Sb10 of the timer interrupt processing (sub) of FIG. 22 will be described using FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 27, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether the AT flag is set at Sc5 in FIG. 23 (Sf1). That is, it is determined whether AT is being executed. If the AT flag is not set, the process ends. On the other hand, when the AT flag is set, it is determined whether or not the count value of the obtained number counter is 50 or more (Sf2). If the count value of the obtained number counter is less than 50, the process is ended.

  If the count value of the acquisition number counter is 50 or more, it is determined whether the count value of the acquisition number counter is 50 (Sf3). If the count value of the number-of-acquisition counter is not 50 (ie, if it exceeds 50), the AT flag is cleared and the process is ended. When the AT flag is cleared, an effect indicating that the AT is finished is executed by the liquid crystal display 51, and the AT is finished.

On the other hand, when the count value of the acquisition number counter is 50, 50 is subtracted from the acquisition number counter (Sf5). As a result, the number of end sheets of the AT increases by 50 (that is, 50 sheets are added to the number of end sheets), and the AT is extended by one set (one set of the number of ends of 50 sheets). In addition, for example, when the count value of the acquisition number counter is 30 when subtracting 50 sheets from the count value of the acquisition number counter, subtraction is performed until the count value of the acquisition number counter becomes −20, etc. Even when the number of sheets to be subtracted is larger than the count value, subtraction is performed until the count value becomes negative. Further, in the present embodiment, although the AT number of finished sheets is added by subtracting 50 sheets from the obtained number counter, the threshold value to be compared with the number of medals obtained by the player by the AT is changed from 50 to 100. Depending on the situation, the number of ATs may be increased.

  As described above, when the number of medals obtained by the player at the AT reaches 50, which is the same as the number of the end sheets, a benefit (extension of AT) is given at a rate of 100%. If the number of medals acquired does not reach 50, which is the same as the number of the final number, the possibility of awarding a bonus is 0%. That is, when the number of medals obtained by the player at AT becomes 50 equal to the number of the end, the number of medals obtained by the player at AT does not become 50 equal to the number of the end It is more likely that benefits (extension of AT) will be given than when. As a result, it is possible to prevent a sense of regret from the fact that the medals exceeding the number of finish are not obtained, and it is possible to improve the interest in the game.

  Further, by extending the AT as a benefit, the AT is extended even though the termination condition of the AT is established, so that the interest in the game can be enhanced.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10, since the number of payouts differs depending on the winning combination for which the winning is achieved, the number of medals obtained by the player can be varied. As a result, since it is not always possible to acquire the same number of medals as the number of finish, it is possible to obtain the joy when the same number as the number of finish is obtained, and to increase the interest in the game.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15, the lottery probability of each winning combination is set such that the probability of winning the bell (the probability of winning the sum of the various bells) becomes the highest. And, as shown in FIG. 10, the payout number is 15 when the bell is won. Therefore, when only the bell is won during the AT, the number obtained in the AT is not the same as the number in the end. In other words, the AT ends when 12 bells (15 payouts−3 bets) × 4 = 60 are won in five Bell prizes. Therefore, in order to make the acquired number in AT the same number as the end number, for example, 4 winnings of Bell (12 sheets x 4 = 48 sheets) and 1 winning combination of cherries (-1 sheets (number of payouts) Combination of 2 pieces-3 pieces of bets x 1 = 1 piece) and one winning combination of watermelon (3 pieces (6 pieces of payout number-3 pieces of bets) x 1 = 3 pieces) or 3 times of bell In a combination of (12 × 3 = 36) and one cherry (–1 × 1 = 1) and 5 watermelon (3 × 5 = 15) combinations You need to get As described above, by configuring the winning combination with the highest probability of winning alone not to be the same as the number of finish, it becomes possible to increase the joy when a prize other than the bell occurs, which makes the game interesting Can be improved.

  Next, a specific example when a strong chance is displayed when one strong card is won will be described using FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 28 (1), when the game is started by the AT, the liquid crystal display 51 displays “Chance is !!”, and the stop switch is displayed in the recommended procedure (that is, specific timing) to display the chance eye. It is assumed that the specific range navigation effect for prompting the user to operate is executed (Sg3 in FIG. 24). At this time, a token has not been acquired by the AT, and the liquid crystal display 51 displays the characters "remaining 50" indicating that the number of medals to reach the end number is 50.

  As shown in FIG. 28 (2), when the reels 2L, 2C, 2R whose stop switches are operated stop, the strong chance eyes (in this example, upper stage, middle stage, upper stage (Kotani type) "watermelon a-watermelon a- It is assumed that "watermelon a" is displayed. At this time, although one weak sheet or one strong sheet is missed, the number of sheets is not counted ("N" in Se9 of FIG. 25). Therefore, the display of the liquid crystal display 51 also remains "the remaining 50 sheets".

  Next, with reference to FIG. 29 and FIG. 30, a specific example when the number of medals obtained by the AT becomes the same as the number of finish will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 29 (1), when the game in AT3 at RT3, ie, in ART, is started, "ART start" is displayed from the liquid crystal display 51, and the medal until reaching the end number in ART is displayed. The word "remaining 50 sheets" is displayed, which indicates that the number of sheets is 50 sheets.

  As shown in FIG. 29 (2), temporarily from the liquid crystal display 51 "213 as a navigation effect indicating the pressing order to win the middle bell 1 to 4 in this game temporarily to win the middle bell 1 to 4 in this game, as shown in FIG. Suppose that “(middle → left → right)” is displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 29 (3), it is assumed that as a result of operating the stop switch according to the navi effect, the bell is won and 15 medals are obtained. At this time, the character “15 GET!” Indicating that 15 medals have been obtained from the liquid crystal display 51 and the number of medals until reaching the end number in the ART is 35 The words "35 remaining" are displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 29 (4), it is assumed that the game proceeds and the number of medals remaining until reaching the end number in ART is two. Thereafter, the process proceeds to any one of the patterns shown in FIGS. 30 (5) to 30 (7) or 30 (8) to 10 (10).

  In the case of proceeding to the patterns of FIG. 30 (5) to (7), for example, the left bell is won, and “123” (left → middle → right) is displayed from the liquid crystal display 51 as navigation effect. As a result of operating the stop switch according to the effect, it is assumed that the bell is won and 15 medals are obtained. As a result, since the number of medals acquired by the player exceeds 50, the character "END" is displayed from the liquid crystal display 51, and the ART is ended (Sf4 in FIG. 27).

  In the case of progressing to the patterns of FIGS. 30 (8) to (10), for example, the weak cherry is won, and the cherry symbol is displayed from the liquid crystal display 51 as a navigation effect, and the weak cherry is won according to the navigation effect It is assumed that as a result of operating the stop switch, weak cherries have won two medals. As a result, the number of medals obtained by the player becomes 50, which is the same as the number of the end, so that the liquid crystal display 51 displays the characters "2 GET!" Then, 50 pieces of ART (AT) for one set are added to the end number (Sf 5 in FIG. 27), and the liquid crystal display 51 displays a character indicating this and a character to congratulate the player.

  Next, modifications of the above embodiment will be described. In the above embodiment, when winning 1 weak or 1 strong, the AT lottery is executed as giving a different value from when not winning 1 weak or 1 strong, but a different aspect of value is given It is also possible.

  For example, when the player wins one weak or one strong, the winning probability of the AT lottery is higher than that when not winning one weak or one strong. In addition, for example, when the player wins 1 weak or 1 strong, the advantage of the AT is made higher than when 1 weak or 1 weak is not won (the number of navistocks, the number of games in the AT, navi The number of effects etc.) can be mentioned.

  For example, the bonus is simultaneously won when one weak or one strong is won, but the bonus is not simultaneously won when one weak or one strong is not won. Further, for example, when the player wins one weak or one strong, the probability that the bonus is simultaneously won is high, but when the one weak or one is not win, the probability that the bonus is simultaneously winning is low. To be mentioned. Also, for example, it is stated that the types (advantages) of the bonus to be simultaneously won are different when winning one weak card or one strong card and not winning one weak card or one strong card. Be

  In addition, for example, when winning 1 weak or 1 strong, the symbol combination which becomes the transition to the advantageous game state (for example, transitioning to RT3 and RT2 etc to RT1 etc) is elected 1 weak or 1 strong Making it easier to be derived than when it was not done.

  In addition, for example, when a player wins one weak card or one strong card, it is easier to execute a specific effect (premium effect) than when not winning one weak card or one strong card.

  In addition, for example, when the player wins one weak card or one strong card, the types of effects increase or the probability of performing an effect is increased as compared with the case where one weak card or one strong card is not won.

  Further, for example, when the weak 1 sheet or the strong 1 sheet is not won, the setting value can not be estimated, but when the weak 1 sheet or the strong 1 sheet is elected, the setting value can be estimated. Specifically, according to the setting value, in the one where the winning probability of one weak or one strong is set to the probability according to the setting value, and the setting value is estimated from the winning frequency of one weak or one strong Increase the difference in the odds of winning 1 weak or 1 strong.

  In addition, the chance eye, reach eye, or any other specific symbol that a value different from when not winning one weak or one strong card was given when winning one weak or one strong one It may be suggested or informed by a combination.

  In addition, lighting and blinking of the effect effect LED 52, and the back side of the reel that a value different from that when not winning one weak or one strong was awarded when winning one weak or one strong Lighting and blinking of a back lamp (for example, the reel LED 55) disposed on the inside), image display by a transmissive liquid crystal display (a liquid crystal display configured to allow visual observation of the reel) disposed on the front side of the reel, Indication or notification may be given by lighting or blinking of a lamp or LED (for example, effect effect LED 52) attached to the door 1b or the like, vibration of the stop switch, air flow from around the stop switch, temperature change of the stop switch, etc. .

  It is also possible to combine the values listed above.

  By making the values different as described above, it is possible to give unexpectedness to the contents of the game because there are times when it is advantageous or even when there is a symbol combination without payout of medals, which makes it possible to add interest to the game. It can be enhanced.

  Further, in the above embodiment, an example is given where a value (execution of AT lottery) different from that when losing is given when weak one or strong one is won, but the pre-determination means determines the specific result For example, when the winning combination with the highest probability of winning is awarded, the value different from that when the winning combination with the highest winning probability is awarded, or when the small winning combination with the largest number of payouts or the highest probability of winning is won, A small combination with a large number of payouts or a high probability of winning is won, but giving a different value from when a dropout occurs.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 31, a modification of the AT termination control process executed by Sb10 of the timer interrupt process (sub) of FIG. 22 will be described. In the AT end control process of FIG. 27, when the number of medals obtained by the player at AT becomes 50 equal to the number of the end, the number of medals obtained by the player at AT is the same as the number of the end The embodiment is described in which the possibility of awarding the benefit (extension of AT) is higher than when the number of cards does not reach 50. However, in the AT termination control process of FIG. When the number of medals reaches 50, which is the same as the number of final cards, the degree of advantage of the benefit than when the number of medals obtained by the player at AT does not become 50, which is the same as the number of final cards. An embodiment will be described in which the number of additions to the number is increased. A detailed description of the same control as that of the above embodiment (in particular, the control of FIG. 27) will be omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 31, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether the AT flag is set at Sc5 in FIG. 23 (Sj1). That is, it is determined whether AT is being executed. If the AT flag is not set, the process ends. On the other hand, when the AT flag is set, it is determined whether or not the count value of the obtained number counter is 50 or more (Sj2). If the count value of the obtained number counter is less than 50, the process is ended.

  If the count value of the acquisition number counter is 50 or more, it is determined whether the count value of the acquisition number counter is 50 (Sj3). If the count value of the obtained number counter is not 50 (that is, if it exceeds 50), 10 is subtracted from the obtained number counter (Sj4). As a result, the number of AT ending sheets increases by 10 (ie, 10 sheets are added to the number of ending sheets), and AT is extended.

  On the other hand, if the count value of the acquisition sheet counter is 50, 50 sheets are subtracted from the acquisition sheet counter (Sj5). As a result, the number of end sheets of the AT increases by 50 (that is, 50 sheets are added to the number of end sheets), and the AT is extended by one set (one set of the number of ends of 50 sheets).

  Then, although not shown, the sub-control unit 91 determines that the number of medals obtained by the player in the extended AT has reached the end number (when the number is equal to the end number and exceeds the end number) Clears the AT flag and terminates AT. That is, in this modification, the AT is extended once but is extended when the number of medals obtained by the player before extension is the same as the number of the end, rather than when the number of the end exceeds the number The period will be longer.

  In this way, the player gains AT the benefit (increasing the number of AT ending sheets by 50) which is obtained when the number of medals obtained by the player at AT reaches 50 of the same number as the number of ending sheets. This is greater than the benefit (increasing the number of AT ending sheets by 10) obtained when the number of medals does not reach 50 as the same as the ending number of sheets, and the degree of advantage of the benefits is increased. As a result, it is possible to prevent a sense of regret from the fact that the medals exceeding the number of finish are not obtained, and it is possible to improve the interest in the game.

  In this modification, when the number of medals obtained by the player at the AT reaches the end number, a bonus is always given to add the number of the end of the AT, but the medal obtained by the player at the AT It may be determined by lottery whether or not the benefit is given when the number of the has reached the end number. In this case, for example, a lottery may be performed at the start of the AT to determine whether to give a benefit.

(1) As described above, in the present embodiment, when the stop switch 8L is operated in the recommended procedure, chances are derived when one weak or one strong drop occurs. Then, in the AT, when the player wins a game other than one weak card or one strong card, the number of medals according to the lottery result is counted regardless of whether or not these are won.
Therefore, the AT is extended by operating the stop switch 8L in a procedure other than the recommended procedure to prevent winning of the small winning combination, and even if it is intended to increase the chance that the number of ATs to be added is increased, one weak or one strong When a small winning combination other than the winning combination is made, the number-of-earnings counter is used to count such actions.
When one weak card or one strong card is won, one card is not counted if one weak card or one strong card is not won (in this example, it is determined as "N" in Se6 of FIG. 25). In this case, the processing of Se7 is performed, and the part not subjected to the processing of Se10 when it is determined as "N" in Se9).
That is, when it is determined that one weak card or one strong card is not won, the number-of-earnings counter is not counted. Therefore, even when one weak card or one strong card is dropped and a chance eye is derived There is no counting. And, since it is possible to win the most small part in the recommended procedure, when the game is performed in the recommended procedure, for example, the player intentionally intends to drop the small part and gain a profit There will be no. However, when the stop switch 8L is operated in the recommended procedure, one weak one or one strong one is dropped. However, in the present invention, when one weak card or one strong card is dropped, the number-of-earnings counter is not counted. In this way, it is possible to prevent the interest in the game from being lowered by the player who has played the game according to the recommended procedure becoming advantageous since the missing one is not counted when the chance is derived. it can.

(2) As described above, in the present embodiment, when one weak or one strong is won when one is won, one is counted (in this example, FIG. 25). The part which performs the process of Se10, when it determines with "Y" by Se9 of (5).
Therefore, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a situation in which the game is not consistent with the progress of the game in which the medal is not given and the counting is not performed even though one weak or one strong prize is won.

(3) As described above, in the present embodiment, the effect of prompting the user to operate the stop switch in the recommended procedure (that is, specific timing) is executed when one weak card or one strong card is won (in this example, The part which performs the process of Sg3 of FIG.
Therefore, the chance eye is easily displayed, and it is possible to quickly recognize that the AT lottery has been won, and it is possible to enhance the interest in the game.

(4) As described above, in the present embodiment, the ending number of ATs is increased when the specific condition is satisfied (in this example, the process of Sh3 is performed when it is determined as “Y” in Sh2 of FIG. 26). Part to do).
As a result, since the expectation for the AT to be long can be heightened even for a long period of time until the number of medals obtained is low and the number of finish is reached, it is possible to prevent the player from attracting dissatisfaction with the game. it can.

(5) As described above, in the present embodiment, the difference between the total number of medals awarded to the player and the total number of medals used for setting the number of bets as the number of medals obtained by the player The count value is not reset when a certain net increase is counted and the AT is interrupted before the net increase reaches the end number of AT (in this example, the number obtained when it is determined as "N" in Se2 of FIG. 25) Part that does not perform processing to reset the counter).
Therefore, by interrupting the AT and adjusting the number of medals acquired by the AT, it is possible to prevent the intentional delay that the number of medals acquired by the AT reaches the end number. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game from being played in an unfair manner in which the AT is intentionally extended while the AT lottery is again won and the AT is continued.

(6) As described above, in the present embodiment, 15 sheets are counted when the push order bell is won and the stop switch is operated in a procedure other than the specific operation procedure (in this example, the push order bell is elected Sometimes it is a part which counts 15 sheets by the process of Se7 of FIG.
Therefore, it is selected that the pressing order is to be the specific operation order or the order other than the specific operation order (that is, the number of medals to be paid out is selected) and the number of medals acquired by the AT be adjusted. It can prevent. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the intentional delay that the number of medals acquired by the AT reaches the number of finish medals. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game from being played in an unfair manner in which the AT is intentionally extended while the AT lottery is again won and the AT is continued.

(7) As described above, in the present embodiment, when AT is finished by acquiring the same number as the number of AT's end, the number of sheets exceeding the number of AT's end is obtained and bonus is given rather than when AT is ended. The possibility of doing this is increased (in this example, the portion that performs the processing of Sf5 when it is determined as “Y” in Sf3 of FIG. 27).
Therefore, since AT is extended as a privilege, it is possible to prevent having a sense of regret for the fact that medals exceeding the number of finish sheets can not be obtained, and it is possible to improve interest in the game.

(8) As described above, in the present embodiment, when AT is finished by obtaining the same number as the number of AT's finish, the number of sheets exceeding the number of AT's finish is obtained and bonus is awarded more than when AT is finished. (In this example, the portion that performs the processing of Sj5 when it is determined that “Y” is determined in Sj3 of FIG. 31).
Therefore, since AT is extended as a privilege, it is possible to prevent having a sense of regret for the fact that medals exceeding the number of finish sheets can not be obtained, and it is possible to improve interest in the game.

(9) As described above, in the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not the occurrence of winnings including various bells, various watermelons, various cherries, one weak card, one strong card is permitted (for example, Sd2 in FIG. 7). To do the processing of
Therefore, the number of medals obtained by the player can be varied. As a result, since it is not always possible to acquire the same number of medals as the number of finish, it is possible to obtain the joy when the same number as the number of finish is obtained, and to increase the interest in the game.

(10) As described above, in the present embodiment, the AT is continued as a benefit (in this example, the processing of Sf 5 in FIG. 27 is performed to add the number of ATs to be ended and the AT continues).
Therefore, by extending the AT as a benefit, the AT is extended even though the termination condition of the AT is established, so that the interest in the game can be enhanced.

(11) As described above, in the present embodiment, 15 sheets are counted when the push order bell is won and the stop switch is operated in a procedure other than the specific operation procedure (in this example, the push order bell is elected Sometimes it is a part which counts 15 sheets by the process of Se7 of FIG.
Therefore, it is selected that the pressing order is to be the specific operation order or the order other than the specific operation order (that is, the number of medals to be paid out is selected) and the number of medals acquired by the AT be adjusted. It can prevent. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the intentional delay that the number of medals acquired by the AT reaches the number of finish medals. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game from being played in an unfair manner in which the AT is intentionally extended while the AT lottery is again won and the AT is continued.

(12) As described above, in the present embodiment, the difference between the total number of medals awarded to the player and the total number of medals used for setting the number of bets as the number of medals obtained by the player The count value is not reset when a certain net increase is counted and the AT is interrupted before the net increase reaches the end number of AT (in this example, the number obtained when it is determined as "N" in Se2 of FIG. 25) Part that does not perform processing to reset the counter).
Therefore, by interrupting the AT and adjusting the number of medals acquired by the AT, it is possible to prevent the intentional delay that the number of medals acquired by the AT reaches the end number. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game from being played in an unfair manner in which the AT is intentionally extended while the AT lottery is again won and the AT is continued.

(13) As described above, in the present embodiment, when only the bell winning with the highest probability of winning occurs during AT, the same number as the number of AT ending is obtained to prevent AT from ending. (For example, as shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 15, even if only various bells are won, the portion which does not become 50 pieces).
Therefore, it is possible to increase the pleasure when a prize other than the bell occurs by configuring the winning number of the highest winning probability alone not to be equal to the ending number, thereby improving the interest in the game. It can be done.

(14) As described above, in the present embodiment, when the AT wins a game other than one weak or one strong, it counts the number of medals according to the lottery result, and at least one weak or one strong When one wins or one weak does not win, one is not counted (in this example, if Se6 in FIG. 25 is determined to be “N”, the processing of Se7 is performed, Se9 Where the processing of Se10 is not performed when it is determined that "N".
Therefore, it is premised that it is dropped when operating the stop switch in the recommended procedure (that is, specific timing) and advancing the game in an advantageous manner so as to prevent the small player from being dropped and to derive an opportunity. Since one weak card or one strong card is not counted, it is possible to prevent the AT from ending prematurely and to prevent the interest in the game from being reduced.

  In the above embodiment, an example of extending AT as a benefit has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, a BB (Bic bonus) in which the probability of winning a predetermined combination such as a small combination is higher than usual. And RB (regular bonus), bonus increase, bonus increase probability increase, bonus easy to be granted state, AT continuance rate increase and AT more advantageous stock grant such as AT stock increase, shift to AT Provision of easy-to-use state, allowance of transition to advantageous RT, execution of setting suggestion effects, increase of effect types, transition to a state in which premium effects appear easily, and two for giving the player a wallpaper or music of a portable terminal Applying the configuration described in the above embodiment to a slot machine that provides benefits different from the above embodiment, such as the display of a dimensional code, the application of wallpaper and music of a mobile terminal, etc. It is possible to implement the invention.

  In particular, when a bonus is a bonus, for example, one combination such as one weak or one strong is separately provided, and a combination combination combining one combination and a bonus is provided, and the combination combination is won. The present invention can be realized by arranging symbols so that a chance is derived when a single role is dropped both in the case where it is possible to derive a bonus and in the case where a single single role is won. It is possible.

  In addition, regarding the awarding of benefits, when the number of obtained players of the player exceeds the end number of ATs and the AT is ended, the benefits are awarded so that the benefits become more easily obtainable as the number of obtained plates approaches the number of endings. It is also possible.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the AT has been exemplified as an advantageous state, but not limited to this embodiment, for example, in a slot machine, an RT more advantageous than other RTs, an advantage over a normal gaming state In the above embodiment, the slot machine is controlled to an advantageous state of a mode different from the above embodiment, such as a bonus, a CT (challenge time) which is advantageous over the normal gaming state, with some or all reels being uncontrolled. The present invention can be realized by applying the configuration shown.

  Further, in the above embodiment, an example of counting the net increase in number of medals has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, the game is different from the above embodiment, such as counting only the payout number of medals The present invention can be realized by applying the configuration shown in the above embodiment to a slot machine that counts the amount of gaming value acquired by a player.

  Further, in the above embodiment, an example is given in which all are counted when the winning combination other than one weak or one strong is won, but the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, for example, a predetermined one The configuration described in the above embodiment is applied to a slot machine that counts the amount of gaming value acquired by the player with a trigger different from that of the above embodiment, such as targeting only the winning combinations in the section. It is possible to realize the invention.

  In the above embodiment, an example has been described in which the player counts the number of medals obtained when one weak or one strong wins during AT, but the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, for example. The present invention can be realized by applying the configuration shown in the above embodiment to a slot machine which does not count even if one weak or one strong is won during an AT. It is possible.

  Further, in the above embodiment, although an example is shown in which the chance is displayed as a special display result, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, for example, reach eyes or small winnings indicating that a bonus is won by internal lottery. The present invention can be realized by applying the configuration described in the above embodiment to a slot machine that displays a special display result of a mode different from the above embodiment, such as a missing eye indicating that the user has missed .

  Further, in the above embodiment, a specific range navigation effect for prompting the user to operate the stop switch in a recommended procedure (that is, a specific timing) in which a symbol in a specific range is displayed is performed by an effect that suggests winning watermelon or cherry Although an example was given, the symbol of the specific range is displayed in a mode different from the above-mentioned embodiment, such as urging operation of a stop switch with a lamp or a sound not only at this timing, for example. The present invention can be realized by applying the configuration shown in the above-described embodiment to a slot machine that performs navigation effects for prompting the user to operate the stop switch at a specific timing.

  In the above embodiment, an example is given in which the count value of the acquisition number counter is not reset when the AT is interrupted. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, the count value of the acquisition number counter is reset when the AT is interrupted. The present invention can be realized by applying the configuration shown in the above embodiment to a slot machine.

  For example, if a bonus is provided and the AT is interrupted from the bonus winning time to the bonus ending when the bonus is won, the medal won by the player from the bonus winning time to the winning time When the number of sheets (net increase number) decreases, the number of sheets for that amount may be reflected on the count value of the acquisition number counter.

  In the above embodiment, an example is given in which 15 medals are counted regardless of whether or not the stop switch is operated in the specific operation order when the push order bell is won, but the invention is not limited to this embodiment, for example When the push order bell is won, 15 sheets are counted when the operation is performed in the specific operation order, and when the transition outcome is derived by being operated in the order other than the specific operation order, the specific operation order is counted, etc. The present invention can be realized by applying the configuration described in the above embodiment to a slot machine in which the number to be counted is changed depending on whether or not the operation is performed. In addition, at the time of push order bell winning, 15 medals are given when the operation is performed in the specific operation order, and 6 medals are given when the operation is performed in the order other than the specific operation order, etc. It is also possible to apply the present invention to a slot machine that counts the higher payout number when medals are paid out even if the game is operated in order.

  In the above embodiment, an example is given in which the payout number is set so that the same number of medals as the end number is obtained only when the bell with the highest probability of winning is won and the AT does not end. Not limited to the form, for example, the configuration described in the above embodiment is applied to a slot machine in which the same number of medals as the end number is obtained even if only the highest winning probability is won and AT is ended. It is possible to implement the present invention.

  In this case, for example, only when the end number of ATs is added, even if only the highest winning probability is won, the same number of medals as the end number of ATs may be acquired to end the AT. It can be mentioned.

  Moreover, although the example which performs each presentation using the liquid crystal display 51 and the speakers 53 and 54 was mentioned in the said embodiment, it does not restrict to this embodiment, for example, the back side of the presentation effect LED 52 and the reel ( The back lamp (for example, the reel LED 55) disposed on the inside), the transmissive liquid crystal display disposed on the front side of the reel (the liquid crystal display configured to make the reel visible), the front door 1b, etc. The above embodiment is a slot machine that effects by means different from the above embodiment, such as a lamp or LED (for example, effect effect LED 52), vibration of stop switch, air blowing from around stop switch, change of temperature of stop switch, etc. The present invention can be realized by applying the configuration shown in FIG. In addition, the effect may be performed using a part of the device having another function (for example, when performing effect or notification using the reel LED 55, the reel LED 55 has a function of illuminating the reel from the back side) ), A device may be provided to perform only the effect.

  Further, in the above embodiment, a procedure for operating the stop switch 8L at a specific timing is described as an example of a recommended procedure, but the invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, a procedure for operating the stop switch 8C at a specific timing, stop switch A slot machine in which a recommended procedure different from the above embodiment is set, such as a procedure for operating 8R at a specific timing, or a procedure for operating any two or all stop switches in a specific timing or a specific sequence or a specific timing and a specific sequence. It is also possible to apply the present invention to
