  The main board 10 includes input acceptance means 105, random number generation means 110, internal lottery means 120, reel control means 130, prize determination means 140, payout control means 150, replay processing means 160, gaming state transition control means 170, communication control. A unit 175 includes a main memory 190M.

  The insertion acceptance means 105 accepts insertion of medals for each game, and based on the insertion of medals equivalent to the prescribed number of insertions (3 or 2), the game for the start lever SL (game start operation means) Perform processing to validate the start operation. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the first pressing operation of the start lever SL activated based on the insertion of the medal corresponding to the prescribed insertion number is accepted as the game start operation, and the first reel R1 to the third reel It is an opportunity to start the rotation of R3 and an opportunity to execute an internal lottery.

  Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when the medal is inserted into the medal insertion slot MI, the insertion accepting means 105 inserts the medal with the specified number of insertions as the limit along with the operation of the medal insertion switch 210. Set to the closed state. Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when the bet button B0 is pressed in a state where medals are credited to the gaming machine, the insertion reception means 105 operates the specified number of insertions as the bet switch 220 operates. To the limit, set the credited medals to be inserted.

  The random number generation means 110 is a means for generating a random number value for lottery. The random value can be generated, for example, based on the count value of an increment counter (a counter that counts numerical values so as to circulate a predetermined count range). In the present embodiment, the “random number value” is not only a value randomly generated in a mathematical sense, but even if the generation itself is regular, the acquisition timing etc. is irregular because the acquisition timing is irregular. Contains values that can function as random numbers.

  The internal lottery means 120 determines the success or failure of the role based on the start signal from the start switch 230 operated by the player by the game start operation (first press operation to the activated start lever SL) to the start lever SL. It is a means for performing internal lottery, and performs lottery table selection processing, random number determination processing, lottery flag setting processing, and the like.

  In the lottery table selection process, it is determined which of the plurality of internal lottery tables stored in the internal lottery table storage means 191 of the main memory 190M, the internal lottery table is used to perform the internal lottery. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, three kinds of lottery tables A to C as shown in FIG. 3 are stored in the internal lottery table storage means 191. And in each lottery table, various roles such as replay, small part, and bonus are associated with each of a plurality of random number values (for example, 65536 random numbers from 0 to 65535). It is done.

  In the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the bell A, the bell B1, the bell B2, the illegal disapproval 1 to the illegal disapproval 6, the control minor 1, and the control minor 2 are prepared as minors. As shown in FIG. 3, batting order bells C1 to C6, batting order bells R1 to R6, and a common bell are set as winning modes of the winning combination. These winning modes, as shown in FIG. 4, mean that a plurality of types of small roles among the above-mentioned small roles are won in duplicate, and in particular, in the batting order, the bell A is necessarily included, and the bell The combination of A and other small winning combination to be won is different from each other.

  Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, Replay 1 to Replay 15 are prepared as Replays, and as a winning aspect of Replay, as shown in FIG. 3, normal replay, batting order replay A1 to A3, batting order replay B1 to B4. A batting order replay C1 to C3, a batting order replay D1 to D4, a chance replay A1 to A3, and a chance replay B1 to B4 are set. As shown in FIG. 5, these winning modes mean that a plurality of types of replays are selected in duplicate among the above-mentioned replays, and in each of these winning modes, a combination of replays which is redundantly won is selected. They are different from each other.

  Further, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, the winning probability of the small winning combination is the same in the internal lottery table A and the internal lottery table B, and the replay is won in the internal lottery table B with a higher probability than the internal lottery table A. In the internal lottery table C, losses are associated with all random number values.

  Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, a big bonus (BB) is prepared as a bonus, and in the internal lottery table A, a big bonus (BB) is set as a lottery target, but the internal lottery table B and the internal lottery In Table C, the big bonus (BB) is excluded from the lottery targets.

  Further, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, the normal state, the bonus establishment state, and the bonus state can be set as the gaming state, and in the lottery table selection process, the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table C are selected according to the gaming state. One of them is selected as an internal lottery table to be used in the internal lottery.

  In the random number determination process, based on the start signal from the start switch 230, a random number value (random number for lottery) is acquired from the random number generation unit 110 for each game, and the acquired random number value is used for the internal lottery table storage unit 191 of the main memory 190M. It is determined whether or not the winning combination has been won with reference to the internal lottery table stored in.

  In the lottery flag setting process, the lottery flag corresponding to the combination determined to be won based on the result of the random number determination process is switched from the non-winning state (first flag state, off state) to the winning state (second flag state) , On). In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when two or more types of winning combinations are won in duplicate, a lottery flag corresponding to each of the two or more types of winning combinations that are won in duplicate is set in the winning state. The setting information of the lottery flag is stored in the lottery flag storage unit 192 of the main memory 190M.

  Further, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the lottery flag capable of carrying over the winning state to the next and subsequent games until the winning and the winning state for the next and subsequent games are not carried over regardless of the winning A lottery flag (a carry-over impossible flag) to be reset to the winning state is prepared. As a role to which the former carry over flag is associated, there is a big bonus (BB), and a small role and replay are corresponded to the latter carry over impossible flag. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery, the winning state of the lottery flag of the big bonus (BB) is carried over until the big bonus (BB) is won. At this time, the internal lottery means 120 performs an internal lottery to determine whether or not the small winning combination and the replay have been made even in the game carried over with the winning state of the lottery flag of the big bonus (BB). That is, in the lottery flag setting process, in the game in which the winning state of the lottery flag of the big bonus (BB) is carried over, if the small winning combination or the replay is won, the lottery flag of the big bonus (BB) already won. And a lottery flag corresponding to two or more types of roles consisting of a small winning combination won in the internal lottery and a lottery flag of replay, and is set in a winning state.

  The reel control means 130 starts the rotational driving of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 by the stepping motor based on the start signal from the start switch 230 operated by the player by the game start operation to the start lever SL. The stop buttons B1 to B3 (stop operation means) corresponding to the reels in which the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are constantly rotating at a predetermined speed (about 80 rpm: about 80 rotations per minute) are pressed. Control to activate the stop operation due to the control, and to stop the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 rotationally driven by the stepping motor in a mode according to the setting state of the lottery flag (the result of the internal lottery) I do.

  Then, the reel control means 130 stops the reel from the stop switch 240 when the stop switch 240 is actuated by the player pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3 while the stop operation for the stop buttons B1 to B3 is activated. By stopping the supply of the drive pulse (motor drive signal) to the stepping motor of the reel unit 310 based on the signal, control is performed to stop the respective reels of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3.

  That is, the reel control unit 130 determines and determines the stop position of the reel corresponding to the pressed button among the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 each time the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed. Control is performed to stop the reel at the stop position. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, pressing the stop button B1 corresponds to an operation for stopping the first reel R1, and pressing the stop button B2 is an operation for stopping the second reel R2. Correspondingly, pressing the stop button B3 corresponds to an operation for stopping the third reel R3. That is, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 changes, the stopping order of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 changes.

  Further, in the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, in principle, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are being rotated corresponding to the stop button pressed within 190 ms from the time the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed. In the bonus state, exceptionally, the first reel R1 stops within 75 ms from the time the stop button B1 is pressed, and the second reel R2 and the third reel R3 stop buttons B2 and B3. The rotating reel corresponding to the pressed stop button is stopped within 190 ms from the time the key is pressed. When stopping the reels being rotated within 190 ms from the time the stop button is pressed, the stop position of each rotating reel is the number of frames required for the reels to stop from the time the stop button is stopped It is determined in the range of 4 frames (predetermined pull-in range, first pull-in range). When stopping the reel rotating within 75 ms from the pressing point of the stop button, the number of frames required from the pressing point of the stop button to the stop of the reel is in the range of 0 to 1 frame (narrower than the predetermined pull-in range It is determined in the pull-in range, the second pull-in range). Then, the reel control means 130, on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button on which the pressing operation is performed among the stop buttons B1 to B3, the symbol corresponding to the combination won in the internal lottery is the stop button When the pressing operation is performed on the display position on the effective line, the display position is within 0 to 4 frames (when stopping within 190 ms), or within 0 to 1 range (stops within 75 ms) And the symbol corresponding to the combination for which the lottery flag is set to the winning state is displayed at the display position on the activated line, the rotation corresponding to the stop button on which the pressing operation is performed. The control to stop the reels is being performed.

  And in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, with respect to the outer peripheral surface of 1st reel R1-3rd reel R3 which comprise the reel unit 310, red 7 design "red 7", blue 7 design "blue 7" , BAR symbol "BAR", replay symbol "RP", bell symbol "BL", watermelon symbol A "WMA", watermelon symbol B "WMB", watermelon symbol C "WMC", watermelon symbol D "WMD" are arranged When drawing symbols within 4 frames from the pressing detection position onto the effective line, the symbols arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less on the outer peripheral surface of each reel are not affected by the pressing detection position. It can be displayed on the effective line.

  Further, the reel control means 130 performs processing for obtaining the stop position of the rotating reel by logic operation (logic operation processing), and rotation with reference to the stop control table stored in the stop control table storage means 193 of the main memory 190M. A process (table reference process) of determining the stop position of the middle reel is performed.

  First, in the logic operation process, the range from 0 frame to 4 frames from the pressing detection position which is the position of the reel at the time of actuation of the stop switch 240 (the time when pressing of the stop button is detected) according to the priority data defined for each role. The priority is determined for the candidate of the stop position for 5 frames existing inside. In the bonus state, for the first reel R1, the priority is determined for the candidate for the stop position for two frames present in the range of 0 frame to 1 frame from the pressing detection position, and the second reel R2 and the third reel As for R3, the priority is determined for the candidate for the stop position for five frames corresponding to the pressing detection position as described above. Then, the candidate of the stop position having the highest priority among the priorities of the candidates of the stop positions is determined as the actual stop position. However, in the logic operation process, the same priority may be obtained for a plurality of stop position candidates depending on the result of the internal lottery, the press detection position, etc., and the highest priority stop position candidate becomes a plurality. In this case, the actual stop position is determined by table reference processing described later.

  Particularly in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the priority is determined in the order of "replay> small win> bonus", and in the logic operation process, the lottery flag for two or more types of winnings is set to the internal winning state In this case, according to the priority order associated with each combination, the candidate for the stop position including the symbols constituting the winning combination of the higher priority combination stop position including the symbol combination constituting the lower priority combination combination The priority is determined so that the priority is higher than the candidate of.

  In the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the priority for the candidate for the stop position when a plurality of small winning combinations are won in the internal lottery is determined according to the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the activated line. There are cases and cases where the priority is determined according to the number of medals paid out based on a predetermined payout for a small winning combination, and candidates for the stop position according to the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the activated line The priority of each candidate for the stop position is determined so that the priority is higher as the stop position where the number of symbol combinations indicating the winning forms that can be displayed on the active line increases. When the priority of the candidate for the stop position is determined according to the number of payouts of the game, the number of medals paid out based on the payout of the small winning combination corresponding to the symbol displayed at the display position on the activated line is increased Position so as priority (stop position capable of winning a small prize payout is large) is high determine the priority for the candidate of each stop position. However, when the priority for the candidate for the stop position is determined according to the number of medals paid out, the stop position can be made to win each small combination if the small combination with the same payout is won in duplicate. The priorities of the candidates for are treated as identical.

  Then, in the present embodiment, when the batting order bell is won, the logic operation according to the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is performed. Specifically, correct batting order is set for each of batting order bell C1 to batting order bell C6 and batting order bell R1 to batting order bell R6, and an order different from the correct batting order is treated as the incorrect answering order. Then, when one of the bats of order bell is won, when the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed in the correct batting order, logic operation is performed to obtain the priority according to the number of medals paid out, and the number of medals paid out is the largest. The priority is determined so that the priority of the candidate of the stop position which becomes is the highest. Also, when any batting bell is won, if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect answering order, the priority of the candidate for the stop position according to the kind of symbol combination that can be displayed on the activated line The priority is determined so that the priority of the candidate for the stop position which can display the symbol combination constituting the most winning forms is the highest. In the present embodiment, when one of the bats on the bat is won, when the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed in the correct batting order, the stop position at which the number of medals paid out is the largest when stopping the first reel. The candidate for the stop position is the candidate for the stop position that can display the symbol combination that constitutes the most winning forms, and the medals are still paid out if the correct hitting order is in the second and subsequent reels. If the priority of the candidate for the most frequent stop position is high, and the reels stopped second or later turn to incorrect turn order, the stop position that can display the symbol combination constituting the most winning form is Candidates are given higher priority.

  Then, in the present embodiment, when any of the batting bells is won, if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, the priority of the candidate for the stop position where the bell A can be won is the highest. Thus, if the logic operation is performed and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect answering order, it is possible to win the incorrect solution minor 1 to the incorrect solution minor 6 and the control minor 1 to the control minor 2 The logic operation is performed such that the priority of the candidate for the stop position is the highest.

  Further, in the logic operation processing, so-called pull-in processing and kicking-off processing are performed as processing for obtaining reel stop position candidates. The pull-in process is a process of obtaining a candidate for the stop position of the reel so that the winning combination in which the lottery flag is set to the winning state can be made as much as possible. On the other hand, the kicking process is a process of obtaining a candidate for a stop position of the reel so that a combination in which the lottery flag is set to the non-winning state can not be won. As described above, the reel control means 130 can stop the symbol of the winning combination in which the lottery flag is set in the winning state in the form of winning, while the symbol of the winning combination in which the lottery flag is set to the non-winning state is in the winning configuration. In order to prevent the stop, logic operation processing is performed to obtain a candidate for the stop position of the reel.
