<Control unit>
Next, the circuit configuration of the control unit of the slot machine 100 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. In addition, the same figure shows the circuit block diagram of a control part.

  The control unit of the slot machine 100 can be roughly divided into a main effect according to a main control unit 300 for controlling the progress of the game and a command signal (hereinafter simply referred to as a "command") transmitted by the main control unit 300. And a second sub-control unit 500 that controls various devices based on commands transmitted from the first sub-control unit 400.

<Main control unit>
First, the main control unit 300 of the slot machine 100 will be described. The main control unit 300 includes a basic circuit 302 that controls the entire main control unit 300. The basic circuit 302 includes a CPU 304, control program data, lottery data used in internal lottery of winning combination, and stop of reels. ROM 306 for storing position etc., RAM 308 for temporarily storing data, I / O 310 for controlling input / output of various devices, counter timer 312 for measuring time, number of times, etc. , WDT (watch dog timer) 314 is mounted. Note that another storage device may be used for the ROM 306 and the RAM 308, and the same applies to a first sub control unit 400 and a second sub control unit 500, which will be described later.

  The CPU 304 of the basic circuit 302 operates by inputting a clock signal of a predetermined cycle output from the crystal oscillator 315 b as a system clock. Furthermore, when the power is turned on, the CPU 304 transmits the data for frequency division stored in a predetermined area of the ROM 306 to the counter timer 312, and the counter timer 312 generates an interrupt time based on the received data for frequency division. An interrupt request is sent to the CPU 304 at each interrupt time. The CPU 304 executes monitoring of each sensor or the like and transmission of driving pulses in response to the interrupt request. For example, when the clock signal output from the crystal oscillator 315b is 8 MHz, the dividing value of the counter timer 312 is 1/256, and the dividing data of the ROM 306 is 47, the reference time of the interrupt is 256 × 47 × 8 MHz. = 1.504 ms.

  The main control unit 300 derives a numerical value in the range of 0 to 65535 each time the clock signal output from the crystal oscillator 315 a is received. The random number value generation circuit 316 (this circuit incorporates two random number value generation circuits And a start signal output circuit 338 that outputs a start signal (reset signal) when the power is turned on. When the start signal is input from the start signal output circuit 338, the CPU 304 Game control is started (main control main processing to be described later is started).

  The random value generation circuit 316 generates a random value to be used in the basic circuit 302. The generation of random numbers in the random number generation circuit 316 can be roughly classified into two types, a counter mode and a random number mode. In the counter mode, a numerical value to be counted up (down) at a predetermined time interval is acquired, and the numerical value is derived as a random value. There are two more methods for random number mode. The first method in the random number mode performs an operation with a predetermined function (for example, a modulus function) using a seed of random number values, and derives the operation result as a random number value. The second method reads a numerical value from a random number table in which numerical values in the range of 0 to 65535 are randomly arranged, and derives the read numerical value as a random number value. The random value generation circuit 316 uses the white noise superimposed on the signal input from the various sensors 318 to the sensor circuit 320 to acquire an irregular value. The random number generation circuit 316 uses the thus obtained value as an initial value of a counter that counts up (downs) in the counter mode, as a seed of a random number, or when determining the reading start position of the random number table. Use.

  Further, the main control unit 300 is provided with a sensor circuit 320, and the CPU 304 is inserted from the various sensors 318 (bet button 130 sensor, bet button 131 sensor, bet button 132 sensor, and medal insertion slot 141) at every interrupt time. Medal medal acceptance sensor, start lever 135 sensor, stop button 137 sensor, stop button 138 sensor, stop button 139 sensor, settlement button 134 sensor, medal medal payout sensor for medals dispensed from the medal payout device 180, optical type of reel 110 The state of the sensor, the optical sensor of the reel 111, the optical sensor of the reel 112, etc.) is monitored.

  When the sensor circuit 320 detects the H level of the start lever sensor, a signal indicating this detection is output to the random value generation circuit 316. Upon receiving this signal, the random value generation circuit 316 latches the value at that timing, and stores the value in a register that stores the random value used for the lottery.

  On each reel 110 to 112, symbols of a plurality of types (9 types in this embodiment) shown on the right side of the figure are arranged for a predetermined number of frames (20 frames of numbers 0 to 19 in this embodiment) . The numbers 0 to 19 shown at the left end of the figure are numbers indicating the arrangement positions of the symbols on the respective reels 110 to 112. For example, in the present embodiment, "Replay symbol" is displayed on the frame of the number 0 of the left reel 110, "blue 7 symbol" is displayed on the frame of the number 0 of the middle reel 111, and "cherry" is displayed on the frame of the number 0 of the right reel 112. The symbols are arranged respectively.

<Type of winning combination>
Next, with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6, the types of winning combinations for the slot machine 100 will be described. 5 and 6 are diagrams showing types of winning combinations (including operating combinations), names of condition devices, symbol combinations corresponding to the winning combinations, the number of payouts, and notes.

  The winning combinations of the slot machine 100 include special roles (special role 1 and special role 2) and general roles (replay role 1 to replay role 4 and small roles 1 to 16). The types of winning combinations are not limited to these combinations and may be arbitrarily selected.

  Among the winning combinations in the present embodiment, the special combination 1 and the special combination 2 are roles to shift to a special gaming state in which the player is given a predetermined profit. Further, the replay player 1 to the replay player 4 are roles (players to which a replay is given) that can be replayed without inserting a new medal. These winning combinations may be called "activators". In addition, the “winning” in the present embodiment includes the case where the symbol combination of the operator without medal payout (without medal payout) is displayed on the effective line, for example, special role 1, The special role 2 and the prizes for the replay player 1 to the replay player 4 are included.

  The symbol combination corresponding to special combination 1 (BB) is "Red 7 symbol-Red 7 symbol-Red 7 symbol", and the symbol combination corresponding to special symbol 2 (RB) is "BAR symbol-BAR symbol-BAR It is a design.

  When the special winning combination 1 or the special winning combination 2 is internally won, the special combination internal winning flag corresponding to the internally winning combination is set to ON (stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300). When this flag is set to ON, the main control unit 300 will be described below with reference to FIG. 7 in the special role 1 · 2 internal winning state special role 1.2 (hereinafter, this state may be referred to as RT1 Transition to). The flag remains on until the internal winning combination is won, and it becomes easy to win the internal winning combination in the subsequent games. That is, in a game in which the special combination 1 or special combination 2 is internally won, even if the special combination is not won, the special combination is internally won in the subsequent games, and the symbol combination corresponding to the special combination is It will be easy to get in a row.

  The main control unit 300 displays the gaming state based on the display of the symbol combination corresponding to the special role 1 or the special role 2 (the details will be described later with reference to FIG. 7). State may be referred to as RT2). Furthermore, when a predetermined condition is satisfied in the special role 1 · 2 gaming state, the re-game low probability 1 state (details will be described later with reference to FIG. 7. Hereinafter, this state may be referred to as RT0).

  Replay role 1 to Replay role 4 are winning combinations (operating roles) that can play a game without inserting medals (gaming media) in the next game by winning, and medals are not paid out. . The corresponding symbol combination is as shown in FIG. Note that the replay player may be any role as long as the player can play the next game without inserting a medal. Therefore, for example, the medal may be automatically inserted in the next game (when the medal insertion number is reset in the medal insertion number storage area) when the player wins the replay role, or the medal is awarded to the replay role. The medal inserted in the played game may be carried over to the next game and used.

  The small part 1 to small part 16 are winning combinations in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out (with the number of payouts), and the corresponding symbol combinations and the number of payouts are as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. In addition, "Cherry symbol -ANY-ANY" which is a symbol combination corresponding to small part 2 should just be "Cherry symbol" as the symbol of left reel 110, and the symbol of middle reel 111 and right reel 112 is which symbol It shows that it is good. In addition, “Replay symbol-Cherry symbol-Watermelon symbol” shown in FIG. 6 is not a symbol combination corresponding to a winning combination, but a symbol combination corresponding to a winning combination is not aligned, that is, a case of non-winning combination It is a certain symbol combination (spilled eye) (see, for example, FIG. 37 (h) and FIG. 38 (h)).

<Type of gaming state of RT system>
Next, with reference to FIGS. 7 and 9, the types and transitions of the RT system gaming state in the slot machine 100 will be described. FIG. 7 is a transition diagram of an RT system gaming state in the slot machine 100. As shown in FIG.

<Types of AT-type and bonus-type gaming states (modes)>
Next, the types and transitions of AT-type and bonus-type gaming states (modes) in the slot machine 100 will be described. FIG. 8 is a transition diagram of AT and bonus game states in the slot machine 100. As shown in FIG.

  Main control unit 300 of slot machine 100 roughly has a normal mode, an AT mode preparation state, an AT mode, a bonus mode, and an AT mode further includes an AT mode (normal state) and an AT mode (AT set addition). CZ ready state), AT mode (AT set added CZ state). In this embodiment, the AT mode roughly divided into five is referred to as AT-based gaming state,

The bonus mode may be referred to as a bonus game state. As described above, in the present embodiment, the main control unit 300 also controls a state (AT-based gaming state) related to so-called AT (assist time), and according to the AT-based gaming state determined by the main control unit 300, The 1 sub-control unit 400 is configured to set the game state. Hereinafter, the gaming states of the AT system and the bonus system of the slot machine 100 will be described with reference to the drawings as appropriate.

<Normal mode>
The normal mode is a default AT-based gaming state that is initially set immediately after the slot machine 100 is powered on. In FIG. 8, in the normal mode, when the predetermined specific condition A is satisfied (in this example, when the AT right is acquired), the state shifts to the AT mode preparation state, and the special role 1 (or special role When the symbol combination corresponding to 2) is displayed on the pay line L1, it is shown to shift to a bonus mode to be described later.

<AT mode ready state>
The AT mode preparation state is a gaming state in which an AT right is acquired and transition to the AT mode is possible. In FIG. 8, when the predetermined specific condition B is satisfied (in the present example, when the symbol combination corresponding to the second game player 2 is displayed on the pay line L1), the AT mode (normal state) When the symbol combination corresponding to the special combination 1 (or special combination 2) is displayed on the pay line L1, the transition to the bonus mode described later is shown.

  As described above, in the transition of the gaming state of the RT system, the conditions for transitioning (promotion) from the replay low probability 2 state (RT3) to the replay high probability 1 state (RT4) are the same as the specific condition B. When it is satisfied (when the symbol combination corresponding to the second game player 2 is displayed on the pay line L1), the RT system gaming state transitions (promotion) to the game high probability 1 state (RT4) In some cases, the gaming state of the AT system may shift to the AT mode (normal state).

<AT mode (normal state)>
The AT mode (normal state) is a normal state in the AT mode. In FIG. 8, when the predetermined specific condition C is satisfied (in this example, when the AT set added CZ right is acquired), the transition to the AT mode (AT set added CZ preparation state) is made, and the special role is realized. When the symbol combination corresponding to 1 (or special combination 2) is displayed on pay line L1, it shifts to a bonus mode to be described later, and a predetermined specific condition F is satisfied (in this example, AT) In the case of no remaining game number & no stock of AT rights), it is shown to shift to the normal mode.

<AT mode (AT set addition CZ ready state)>
The AT mode (AT set addition CZ preparation state) is a gaming state in which an AT set addition CZ right is acquired, and transition to an AT set addition CZ state, which will be described later, is possible. In FIG. 8, when the predetermined specific condition D is satisfied (in this example, the symbol combination corresponding to the replay player 4 is displayed on the pay line L1 in the state where the AT set added CZ right is acquired). (In the case of AT) (AT set added CZ state), and when a symbol combination corresponding to special combination 1 (or special combination 2) is displayed on pay line L1, a bonus mode to be described later is set. It has been shown to migrate.

  As described above, in the transition of the gaming state of the RT system, the conditions for transitioning (promotion) from the replay high probability 2 state (RT5) to the replay high probability 3 state (RT6) are the same as the specific condition D When it is satisfied (when the symbol combination corresponding to the replay player 4 is displayed on the pay line L1), the RT system gaming state transitions (promotion) to the gaming high probability 3 state (RT6) In some cases, the gaming state of the AT system may shift to the AT mode (AT set addition CZ state).

<AT mode (AT set addition CZ state)>
The AT mode (AT set addition CZ state) is a gaming state in the CZ (chance zone) where the AT set can be added. In FIG. 8, when the predetermined specific condition E is satisfied (in the present example, when the symbol combination corresponding to the replay player 2 is displayed on the pay line L1), the AT mode (normal state) When the symbol combination corresponding to the special combination 1 (or special combination 2) is displayed on the pay line L1, the transition to the bonus mode described later is shown.

  As described above, in the transition of the gaming state of the RT system, the condition for transitioning (demotion) from the replay high probability 3 state (RT6) to the replay high probability 2 state (RT5) is the same condition as the specific condition E When it is satisfied (when the symbol combination corresponding to the second game player 2 is displayed on the pay line L1), the RT system gaming state transitions (demotion) to the game high probability 2 state (RT5) In some cases, the gaming state of the AT system may shift to the AT mode (normal mode).

<Bonus mode>
In the bonus mode, the gaming state of the RT system shifts to the special role 1 · 2 gaming state (RT2), and the bonus game is being executed. In FIG. 8, when the predetermined specific condition G is satisfied (in this example, in the case where there is a payout of at least the prescribed number of medals & stock of AT rights), the mode shifts to the AT mode preparation state and is determined in advance.

<Pressing order effect of sub control unit>
Next, with reference to FIG. 13, the pushing order effect of the sub control unit (hereinafter, also referred to as “operation condition notification effect” or “pushing order navigation”) will be described. FIG. 13A is a diagram showing an outline of the pushing order effect of the sub control unit when the 7-segment data command indicating selection of 7-segment data SEG 1 to 3 is received, and FIG. 13B shows 7-segment data SEG 4 It is a figure which shows the outline | summary of pushing order production of a sub control part in, when 7 segment data command which shows 9 selection is received.

  In the pushing order effect of the sub control unit of the present embodiment, the contents of the pushing order effect are determined based on the 7-segment data command received from the main control unit 300. Here, the pressing order effect of the sub control unit refers to the effect executed by the first sub control unit 400 that has received the command from the main control unit 300 and the second sub control unit that has received the command from the first sub control unit 400. The sub-control unit includes both the first sub-control unit 400 and the second sub-control unit 500. Needless to say, the pressing order effect according to the present embodiment may be performed by one control unit.

  As shown in FIG. 13A, when the 7-segment data command indicating 7-segment data SEG 1 selection is received, the effect 1-1 is selected when the mode is the normal mode, and the effect is produced when the mode is the AT mode 1-2 or effect 1-3 is selected. Further, as shown in FIG. 13B, when a 7-segment data command indicating 7-segment data SEG4 selection is received, effects 1-2 are selected regardless of the mode, and 7-segment data indicating 7-segment data SEG5 selection When a command is received, effects 1-3 are selected regardless of the mode.

  Here, in the effect 1-1, the characters "1--" are displayed in the display area of the liquid crystal display device 157, the left side lamp 144 is lighted, and the sound of "press from the left" via the speakers 272 and 277. Is an effect that suggests that the first stop operation is on the left. Effect 1-2 is an effect that indicates that the correct operation order is the left → middle → right operation order by displaying the character “123” in the display area of the liquid crystal display device 157, etc. 3 is an effect that indicates that the correct operation order is the left → right → middle operation order by displaying the character “132” in the display area of the liquid crystal display device 157 or the like.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 13A, when the 7-segment data command indicating 7-segment data SEG2 selection is received, the effect 2-1 is selected when the mode is the normal mode, and the mode is the AT mode The effect 2-2 or the effect 2-3 is selected. Further, as shown in FIG. 13B, when a 7-segment data command indicating 7-segment data SEG 6 selection is received, the effect 2-2 is selected regardless of the mode, and 7-segment data indicating 7-segment data SEG 7 selection When the command is received, the effect 2-3 is selected regardless of the mode.

  Here, in the effect 2-1, the character “-1-” is displayed in the display area of the liquid crystal display device 157, the upper lamp 146 is turned on, and the sound of “press from inside” is generated through the speakers 272 and 277. This is an effect that suggests that the first stop operation is in progress by outputting or the like. The effect 2-2 is an effect that indicates that the correct operation order is the middle → left → right operation order by displaying the character “213” in the display area of the liquid crystal display device 157, etc. 3 is an effect that indicates that the correct operation order is the middle → right → left operation order by displaying the character “312” in the display area of the liquid crystal display device 157 or the like.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 13A, when the 7-segment data command indicating 7-segment data SEG 3 selection is received, the effect 3-1 is selected when the mode is the normal mode, and the mode is the AT mode The effect 3-2 or the effect 3-3 is selected. Further, as shown in FIG. 13B, when a 7-segment data command indicating 7-segment data SEG 8 selection is received, effects 3-2 are selected regardless of the mode, and 7-segment data indicating 7-segment data SEG 9 selection When the command is received, the effect 3-3 is selected regardless of the mode.

  Here, in the effect 3-1, the character "--1" is displayed in the display area of the liquid crystal display device 157, the right side lamp 144 is lighted, and the sound of "pressing from the right" via the speakers 272 and 277. Is an effect that suggests that the first stop operation is right. The effect 3-2 is an effect that indicates that the correct operation order is the right → left → middle operation order by displaying the character “231” in the display area of the liquid crystal display device 157, and so on. 3 is an effect that indicates that the correct operation order is the right → middle → left operation order by displaying the character “321” in the display area of the liquid crystal display device 157 or the like.

  In the present embodiment, the order of pushing the second stop operation and the third stop operation when internally winning any replay player in the AT mode is drawn by the first sub-control unit 400 (shown in FIG. 32). The second stop third stop distribution lottery in the internal lottery command reception process is performed, and determination is made according to the result of the lottery. Further, in the present embodiment, in the AT mode, regardless of the internal winning combination, when the operation order is the same, the same effect data is used. For example, in AT mode, when a 7-segment data command indicating 7-segment data SEG 1 selection is internally won by replay-player 1 + 2, 7-segment 7-segment data SEG 1 selection is internally won in replay mode 2 + 3 in AT mode 7 When a segment data command is received, in AT mode, when a 7-segment data command indicating 7-segment data SEG 1 selection is received by internally winning to replay player combination 2 + 4, 7-segment data is internally winning to a small winning combination 3 + 4 + 5 (LCR) When the 7-segment data command indicating SEG 4 selection is received, the effects 1-2 are selected in each case, so the first sub-control unit 400 executes the pressing order effect of the same effect mode. As described above, in the present embodiment, regardless of the internal winning combination, when the operation order is the same, the pushing order effect using the same effect data is executed, so the effect data of the first sub-control unit 400 It can be reduced.

  Further, in the present embodiment, characters such as "1--" are displayed to notify instructions for the three reels 110 to 112, but the notification mode of the pushing order effect is not limited to this. For example, it may be a display mode in which an instruction to any one of the three reels 110 to 112 is specified (for example, a character such as “right” is displayed). In addition, in the case where the operation timing is notified as the pushing order effect, any mode may be used as long as the symbol is specified (for example, the player can display "!". If there is a game pattern that can be identified with the BAR symbol, it may be "!". In other words, the notification mode of the pushing order effect is an example of displaying the numbers and the symbols, and the pushing order effect may be an effect that allows the player to perform a specific operation.

  The basic control of the game is performed mainly by the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300, and the CPU 304 repeatedly executes the main control main process of FIG.

  When the power is turned on, first, in step S101, various initial settings are performed. In this initialization, setting of the stack initial value to the stack pointer (SP) of the CPU 304, setting of interrupt prohibition, initialization of the I / O 310, initialization of various variables stored in the RAM 308, operation allowance to the WDT 314 and initialization Set the value etc.

  In step S102, a medal insertion / start operation acceptance process is executed. Here, it is checked whether or not the medal has been inserted, and the pay line display lamp 120 is turned on according to the insertion of the medal. In addition, preparation for transmitting a medal insertion command indicating that a medal has been inserted to the first sub control unit 400 is performed. In the case where the player plays a winning combination in the previous game, the same number of medals as the number of medals inserted in the previous game is inserted, so that the player does not need to insert the medals. Further, it is checked whether the start lever 135 is operated or not. If it is determined that the start operation has been performed, the number of inserted medals is determined, and an effective pay line is determined and generated by the random number generation circuit 316. Get a random number. Further, in this step S102, preparation is made to transmit a start lever acceptance command indicating that the start lever 135 has been operated to the first auxiliary control unit 400.

  In step S103, a winning combination internal lottery process is performed. Although details will be described later, in this winning combination internal lottery processing, preparation for transmitting an internal lottery command indicating a result of the internal lottery to the first sub control unit 400 or the like is performed. In step S104, a reel stop preparation process is performed. In this reel stop preparation process, reel stop data is selected for each of the reels 110 to 112 based on the result of the internal winning combination lottery process in step S103. In step S105, reel rotation start processing (details will be described later) for starting rotation of all the reels 110 to 112 is executed based on the start operation. In step S106, reel stop processing (details will be described later) for stopping the rotation of all the reels 110 to 112 is performed. Although details will be described later, in this reel stop process, a process of determining whether or not all reels have stopped is performed based on the reel rotation control process of the main control unit timer interrupt process described later.

  In step S107, winning determination of symbols stopped by pressing the stop buttons 137 to 139 is performed. Here, it is determined that a winning combination has been won when a symbol combination corresponding to a winning combination winning internally or a winning combination in a flag carryover is aligned (displayed) on the activated winning line L1. In addition, in this step S107, preparation for transmitting a display determination command indicating the result of the winning determination to the first sub control unit 400 is performed. In step S108, medal payout processing is performed. In this medal payout process, if the player has won a winning combination with a payout, the medals of the number corresponding to the winning combination are paid out.

  In step S109, gaming state control processing is performed. Although the details will be described later, in this gaming state control process, processing for updating the RT state, mode, AT state, etc., and preparation for transmitting a gaming state command indicating the gaming state to the first sub control unit 400 are performed. . One game is completed by the above. Thereafter, the game proceeds by returning to step S102 and repeating the above-described processing. The various commands prepared in the above steps are transmitted in the command setting transmission process of the main control unit timer interrupt process described later.

  In step S201, a winning combination internal lottery is performed. In this winning combination internal lottery, a winning combination internal lottery is performed using the random number value acquired in step S102 of the main control unit main processing and the winning combination lottery table (see FIG. 9) stored in the ROM 306. In step S202, an AT lottery process is performed. Although details will be described later, in this AT lottery processing, processing relating to AT lottery such as AT first winning lottery and AT set added CZ lottery is performed based on the result of the winning combination internal lottery in step 201 and the like.

  In step S203, a pressing order flag setting process is performed. Although the details will be described later, in the push order flag setting process, setting of a correct push order flag and an incorrect push order flag is performed based on the result of the internal winning combination in step 201 and the like. In step S204, an instruction monitor display process is performed. Although the details will be described later, in this instruction monitor display processing, on the pressing order effect using the instruction monitor (disbursed number display 127) based on the correct pressing order flag and the incorrect pressing order flag set in step 203, etc. Perform processing etc. In step S205, after the internal lottery command transmission request process is performed, the winning combination internal lottery process is ended. Although the details will be described later, in the internal lottery command transmission request process of step S205, the internal lottery command is sent to the first sub control unit 400 based on the correct pressing order flag or the incorrect answer pressing order flag set in step 203. Prepare to transmit an internal lottery command indicating the result.

<AT lottery process>
Next, AT lottery processing (step S202) in the winning combination internal lottery processing will be described using FIG. FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the flow of the AT lottery process.

  In step S301, it is determined whether or not the small winning combination 1 or the small winning combination 2 has been internally won, and if it does not fall, the AT lottery processing is ended, and if it falls, the processing after step S302 is performed. In step S302, it is determined whether the AT flag stored in the RAM 308 is on or off. If it is on (if there is an AT right), the process proceeds to step S306, and if off (if there is no AT right) The process proceeds to step S303. In step S303, the first AT winning lottery is performed using a random number value or the like, and in the next step S304, it is determined whether or not the first AT winning lottery has been won. As a result of the determination, the AT lottery process is ended in the case of non-winning, and the routine proceeds to step S305 in the case of winning, and the AT lottery process is ended after setting the AT flag to ON. When the AT flag is set to ON in step S305, the specific condition A (acquisition of the AT right) is satisfied in the mode transition described with reference to FIG.

As a result of the determination, the AT lottery process is ended in the case of non-winning, and the process proceeds to step S308 in the case of winning. In step S308, it is determined whether the AT set addition CZ flag stored in the RAM 308 is on or off. If it is on, the process proceeds to step S309 to add 1 to the stock number of the AT set addition CZ, and then AT lottery. End the process. On the other hand, if it is off, the process proceeds to step S310 to set the AT set addition CZ flag on, and then the AT lottery process is ended.

In step S403, it is determined whether or not the current RT is RT4 (replay high probability 1 state). If it is, the process proceeds to step S404 and RT4 pressing order flag setting processing (details will be described later) is performed. After that, the push order flag setting process is ended, and if it does not correspond, the process proceeds to step S405.

In step S502, it is determined whether or not the winning order small combination has been won, and if so, the process proceeds to step S505, and if not, the process proceeds to step S503.

  In step S503, it is determined whether or not the internal winning combination has been made to the replay player combination 1 + 2, and if so, the process proceeds to step S504. If not, the RT3 push order flag setting process is ended. In step S504, after the stop data distribution lottery is performed using a random value or the like, the process proceeds to step S505. As described above, in the stop data distribution lottery at step 504, one reel stop data is selected by the equal lottery from reel stop data TD1 to TD3 of plural types (three types in this example) shown in FIG. The reel stop data is stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 308. In step S505, in order to perform pressing order effect (promotional navigation) suggesting the correct operation order, after setting the correct pressing order flag to ON, the RT3 pressing order flag setting process is ended.

In step S604, after the stop data distribution lottery is performed using a random value or the like, the process proceeds to step S605. As described above, in the stop data distribution lottery in step 604, one reel stop data is selected by the equal lottery from reel stop data TD4 to TD6 of plural types (three types in this example) shown in FIG. The reel stop data is stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 308.

  In step S605, it is determined whether the AT set addition CZ flag is on or off. If it is on, the process proceeds to step S607, and if it is off, the process proceeds to step S606. In step S606, the RT4 push order flag is set after the incorrect push order flag is set to ON in order to perform push order effect (promotion avoidance navigation to avoid symbol combination of the re-play combination 3) suggesting incorrect operation order. The setting process is ended, and in step S607, the correct pressing order flag is set to ON in order to perform a pressing order effect (promotional navigation to align symbol combinations of replay player 3) in order to suggest the correct operation order, and then press RT4. End the forward flag setting process.

  In step S608, it is determined whether or not the internal winning combination 2 + 3 has been internally won, and if so, the process proceeds to step S609, and if not, the RT4 pressing order flag setting process is ended. In step S609, after the same stop data distribution lottery as in step S604 is performed, the process proceeds to step S610. In step S610, the RT4 push order flag is set after the incorrect push order flag is set to ON in order to perform a push order effect (promotion avoidance navigation to avoid symbol combination of replay part 3) suggesting the incorrect operation order. End the process.

  In the present embodiment, in order to more strictly prevent unintended promotion due to push order error etc., a configuration for performing promotion avoidance navigation even in AT mode is adopted, but the present invention is not limited to this, and transition If a configuration capable of avoiding the promotion is adopted earlier, the promotion navigation may not be performed in this process (the same applies to other push order flag setting processes).

<RT5 push order flag setting process>

In step S704, after the stop data distribution lottery is performed using a random value or the like, the process proceeds to step S705. As described above, in the stop data distribution lottery in step 704, one reel stop data is selected by the equal lottery from reel stop data TD7 to TD9 of plural types (three types in this example) shown in FIG. The reel stop data is stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 308.

  In step S705, it is determined whether the AT set addition CZ flag is on or off. If it is on, the process proceeds to step S707, and if it is off, the process proceeds to step S706. In step S706, in order to perform pushing order effect (7 alignment avoidance navigation which avoids symbol combination of replay part 4) which suggests incorrect operation order, after setting the incorrect solution pushing order flag to ON, RT5 pushing order The flag setting process is ended, and in step S 707, a push order effect (7 aim navigator for aligning symbol combinations of replay player 4) including the 7 aim navigation images shown in FIG. After the correct pressing order flag is set to ON in order to perform the pressing order effect), the RT5 pressing order flag setting process is ended.

  In step S 708, it is determined whether or not the internal winning combination 2 + 4 has been internally won, and if so, the process proceeds to step S 709. If not, the RT5 pressing order flag setting process is ended. In step S709, after the same stop data distribution lottery as in step S704 is performed, the process proceeds to step S710. In step S710, in order to perform the pushing order effect (7 alignment avoidance navigation which avoids the symbol combination of the replay player combination 4) to suggest the incorrect operation order, after setting the incorrect solution pushing order flag to ON, the RT5 pushing order is performed. End the flag setting process.

<RT6 push order flag setting process>
Next, the RT6 push order flag setting process (step S408) in the push order flag setting process will be described using FIG. FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing the flow of the RT6 push order flag setting process.

  In step S801, it is determined whether the AT flag is on or off. If it is off (in the normal mode), the process proceeds to step S808, and if it is on (the AT mode), the process proceeds to step S802. .

  In step S 803, it is determined whether or not the internal winning combination 2 + 4 has been internally won, and if so, the process proceeds to step S 804. If not, the RT 6 pressing order flag setting process is ended. In step S804, after the stop data distribution lottery is performed using a random value or the like, the process proceeds to step S805. As described above, in the stop data distribution lottery at step 804, one reel stop data is selected by the equal lottery from reel stop data TD7 to TD9 of plural types (three types in this example) shown in FIG. The reel stop data is stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 308.

  In step S805, it is determined whether the AT set addition CZ flag is on or off. If it is on, the RT6 push order flag setting process is ended, and if it is off, the process proceeds to step S806. In step S806, in order to perform the pushing order effect (7 alignment avoidance navigation which avoids the symbol combination of the re-playing part 4) to suggest the incorrect operation order, after setting the incorrect solution pushing order flag to ON, the RT6 pushing order is performed. The flag setting process ends, and in step S 807, after the correct touch order flag is set to ON, the RT 6 push order flag setting process ends.

If not, the RT 6 pressing order flag setting process is ended. In step S809, after the same stop data distribution lottery as in step S804 is performed, the process proceeds to step S810. In step S810, in order to perform the pushing order effect (7 alignment avoidance navigation which avoids the symbol combination of the re-playing combination 4) indicating the incorrect operation order, after setting the incorrect solution pushing order flag to ON, the RT6 pushing order is performed. End the flag setting process.

<Indication monitor display process>
Next, referring to FIG. 22, the instruction monitor display process (step S204) in the winning combination internal lottery process will be described. FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing the flow of instruction monitor display processing.

  In step S901, it is determined whether either the correct pressing order flag or the incorrect pressing order flag stored for each internal winning combination is on or off, and if it is off, the instruction monitor display process is ended, and either If is on, the process proceeds to step S902. In step S902, instruction monitor display control is performed.

  In this instruction monitor display control, 7-segment data is selected based on the internal winning combination and the stop data corresponding to the correct pressing order flag or the incorrect pressing order flag set to ON, and the selected 7-segment data is displayed for the number of payouts It sets as lighting pattern data of device 127 (instruction monitor). For example, when the correct pressing order flag corresponding to the re-playing combination 1 + 2 is set to ON, and the stop data TD1 is stored as the stop data, it suggests that the first stop operation of the correct operation order is the left. The 7-segment data SEG1 is set as lighting pattern data of the payout amount indicator 127 (instruction monitor). As a result, the number-of-payouts indicator 127 (instruction monitor) lights up in the display mode shown by SEG1 in FIG. 12 (a). Even in the case where stop data TD2 or TD3 is stored as the stop data, the number-of-payouts display 127 (instruction monitor according to the display control of the push order navigation at the time of the internal winning of the replay player combination 1 + 2 described with reference to FIG. The lighting pattern data of) is set.

  In addition, when the correct pressing order flag corresponding to the second game player 2 + 3 is set to ON, and the stop data TD 5 is stored as the stop data, it suggests that the first stop operation of the correct operation order is in progress. The 7-segment data SEG2 is set as lighting pattern data of the payout amount indicator 127 (instruction monitor). As a result, the number-of-payouts indicator 127 (instruction monitor) lights up in the display mode shown by SEG2 in FIG. 12 (a). On the other hand, in the case where the incorrect cancellation pressing order flag corresponding to the second game player 2 + 3 is set to ON and the stop data TD5 is stored as the stop data, the first stop operation of the incorrect answer operation order is left or right. The 7-segment data SEG1 or SEG3 indicating that is set is set as lighting pattern data of the number-of-payouts display 127 (instruction monitor). As a result, the number-of-payouts display 127 (instruction monitor) lights up in the display mode shown by SEG1 or SEG3 in FIG. 12 (a). Even in the case where stop data TD4 or TD6 is stored as the stop data, the number-of-payouts display 127 (instruction monitor according to the display control of push order navigation at internal winning of replay player combination 2 + 3 described with reference to FIG. The lighting pattern data of) is set.

  In addition, when the correct pressing order flag corresponding to the second game player 2 + 4 is set to ON, and the stop data TD 9 is stored as the stop data, it suggests that the first stop operation of the correct operation order is right. The 7-segment data SEG3 is set as lighting pattern data of the payout amount indicator 127 (instruction monitor). As a result, the number-of-payouts display 127 (instruction monitor) lights up in the display mode shown by SEG 3 in FIG. On the other hand, in the case where the incorrect cancellation pressing order flag corresponding to the replay role 2 + 4 is set to ON and the stop data TD9 is stored as the stop data, the first stop operation of the incorrect answer operation order is left or middle. The 7-segment data SEG1 or SEG2 indicating that is set is set as lighting pattern data of the number-of-payouts display 127 (instruction monitor). As a result, the number-of-payouts display 127 (instruction monitor) lights up in the display mode shown by SEG1 or SEG2 in FIG. 12 (a). Even in the case where stop data TD7 or TD8 is stored as the stop data, the number-of-payouts display 127 (instruction monitor according to the display control of push order navigation at the time of internal winning of replay player combination 2 + 4 described with reference to FIG. The lighting pattern data of) is set.

  Further, when the correct pressing order flag corresponding to small part 3 + 4 + 5 (LCR) is set to ON, 7-segment data SEG4 indicating that the correct operation order is left middle right is displayed on the number-of-payouts indicator 127 ( Set as lighting pattern data of the instruction monitor. As a result, the number-of-payouts indicator 127 (instruction monitor) lights up in the display mode shown by SEG 4 in FIG. In addition, the lighting pattern data of the number-of-payouts display 127 (instruction monitor) is set according to the display control of the pushing order navigation when the pushing order small part is internally selected as described in FIG. .

  Referring back to FIG. 22, in step S903 of the instruction monitor display process, after the push order flag is set to off, the instruction monitor display process is ended.

<Internal lottery command transmission request processing>
Next, an internal lottery command transmission request process (step S205) in the winning combination internal lottery process will be described using FIG. FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing the flow of the internal lottery command transmission request process.

  In step S1001, it is determined whether the correct touch order flag is on or off. If it is on, the process proceeds to step S1002, and if it is off, the process proceeds to step S1003. In step S1002, after the transmission request for transmitting the internal lottery command including the correct touch order information to the first sub control unit 400, the internal lottery command transmission request process is ended.

  For internal lottery command, internal winning information (information of internal winning combination), AT related information (lots of AT first winning lottery and AT set added CZ lottery etc.), pushing order information (correct pressing order or incorrect opening order) It is possible to include information etc.), but in step S1002, it is considered that the internal winning combination is a push order small combination in consideration of the fact that the display by the number-of-payouts display 127 (instruction monitor) may not be performed. An internal lottery command is issued by requesting transmission of an internal lottery command including internal winning information (not information of the internal winning combination but not simply information of the winning combination) which can not specify the internal winning combination. Even if the command is acquired illegally, it is configured so that the pushing order can not be grasped.

  For example, when a small winning combination 3 + 4 + 5 (LCR) is internally won, as described later with reference to FIG. 37, when the first stop operation is right and the second stop operation is in progress, the cherry symbol stops on the middle reel 111 The watermelon symbol is stopped on the right reel 112, and the main control unit 300 causes the first sub control unit 400 to "push order = incorrect answer" at the first stop operation, and "push order = incorrect answer at the second stop operation". The command including the information of "" is sent. On the other hand, when a small winning combination 3 + 6 + 7 (LRC) is internally won, the illustration is omitted, but when the first stop operation is right and the second stop operation is in progress, the cherry symbol stops on the middle reel 111 and the right reel The watermelon symbol is stopped at 112, and the main control unit 300 to the first sub-control unit 400 includes information of "pushing order = incorrect answer" at the first stop operation and "pushing order = correct answer" at the second stop operation. A command is sent.

  For this reason, at the time of the third stop, if the stop mode of the symbol and the information transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub control unit 400 can be acquired, the kind of push order small part can be specified, for example, It becomes possible to acquire the 1 sheet role illegally. The same applies to the case where the information on the pressing order of the correct answer is transmitted for each stop operation. For the above reason, in the slot machine 100 according to the present embodiment, when the internal winning combination is a push order minor combination, the internal lottery command including the internal winning information which can not specify the internal winning combination is first sub-controlled By transmitting to the part 400, even if it is a case where an internal lottery command is acquired illegally, it is constituted so that the kind of pushing order small part can not be specified.

  In the case where the internal winning combination is a replay in order, since it is not possible to grasp the pushing order from the internal winning combination, in step S1002, a transmission request of an internal lottery command including internal winning information indicating the internal winning combination is made. .

  In step S1003, it is determined whether the incorrect answer push order flag is on or off. If it is on, the process proceeds to step S1004, and if it is off, the process proceeds to step S1005. In step S1004, after a transmission request for transmitting the internal lottery command including the incorrect solution pushing order information to the first sub control unit 400, the internal lottery command transmission request process is ended. In step S1005, after a transmission request for transmitting an internal lottery command not including push order information to the first sub control unit 400, the internal lottery command transmission request processing ends.

<Reel rotation start processing>
Next, the reel rotation start process (step S105) in the main control unit main process will be described using FIG. FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing the flow of the reel rotation start process.

  In step S1101, a gaming time monitoring timer value is acquired. Here, the gaming time monitoring timer is a timer stored in a specific storage area of the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300, and the time required for one game is predetermined (for example, 4. of the minimum gaming time). It is a timer that is set for the purpose of limiting to 1 second or more, suppressing the number of game media acquired or lost in unit time, and limiting the gambling of the game. The game time monitoring timer is set to a predetermined timer value (for example, a timer value corresponding to 4.1 seconds), and is decremented each time a timer interrupt process (described later) of the main control unit 300 is executed.

  In step S1102, it is determined whether the acquired game time monitoring timer value has elapsed 4.1 seconds or more. When the gaming time monitoring timer value has reached 4.1 seconds or more, the current game may be started, so the process proceeds to step S1103. On the other hand, when the gaming time monitoring timer value has not elapsed 4.1 seconds, the process returns to step S1101 and the processing is repeated. While repeating the process, the timer value of the gaming time monitoring timer is decremented at every timer interruption of the main control unit 300, and when the gaming time monitoring timer becomes 0, the process proceeds to step S1103.

  In step S1103, the gaming time monitoring timer value is reset. Specifically, a timer value corresponding to 4.1 seconds is stored in a specific area of the RAM 308. In the present embodiment, when the gaming time monitoring timer value is set, it is the start timing of one game. The end timing of one game is next when the game time monitoring timer value is set. That is, one game is from setting the gaming time monitoring timer value to setting the next gaming time monitoring timer value. Further, since the gaming time monitoring timer value is set each time the rotation of each of the reels 110 to 112 starts, the interval from when each reel 110 to 112 starts rotating to when each reel 110 to 112 next starts to rotate It can also be one game. Note that the end timing of one game may be when the gaming time monitoring timer value becomes 0 and the gaming state control processing is ended. In addition, the start timing of one game is assumed to be the acceptance of the effective start lever, and the end timing of the one game is assumed to be the acceptance of the effective bet button operation, and the effective start lever from the time of acceptance of the bet button operation The period until the reception of may be a preparation period for the next game start.

  In step S1104, setting of a reel rotation start command to be transmitted to the first secondary control unit 400 is set, and transmission preparation is made. Here, the reel rotation start command is a command indicating the rotation start of the reels 110-112. In step S1105, the start of rotation is set, such as setting the status of each of the reels 110 to 112 to "start of rotation".

  In step S1106, the reel control status is set to "acceleration state (during acceleration control)". The reel control status is information related to the control state of the reels stored independently for each reel 110 to 112 in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300. ), “Acceleration state (during acceleration control)”, “second constant speed state (during second speed control)”, “second constant speed state (during second constant speed control)”, “retracted state (retracted state)” Information under control) or "brake state (during brake control)" is stored. In step S1106, the acceleration start request flag is set to ON. The acceleration start request flag is flag information stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300, and is referred to in an acceleration control process described later.

<Reel stop processing>
Next, reel stop processing (step S106) in the main control unit main processing will be described using FIG. FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing the flow of the reel stop process.

  In step S1301, it is determined whether or not the stop operation by any of the stop buttons (stop buttons) 137 to 139 has been received, and if not, the process waits for the stop operation by any of the stop buttons 137 to 139. In step S1302, the process proceeds to step S1302. In this step S1301, when it is determined that the operation of the stop buttons 137 to 139 is valid in the rotation control process of the latest main control unit timer interrupt process, the stop operation of the corresponding stop buttons 137 to 139 is performed. It is determined that it has been accepted.

  In step S1302, the stop button operation information is updated. Here, the stop button operation information is information that is stored independently for each stop button 137 to 139 in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300, and in the present example, the stop button operation information is The operation order (pushing order) is stored, and used to determine whether or not the correct pushing order is made.

  In step S1303, stop button operation command transmission request processing is performed. Although the details will be described later, in the stop button operation command transmission request process, the stop button operation command including the information related to the stop button is sent to the first sub control unit 400 based on the stop button operation information stored in step 1302. Prepare for transmission etc. In step S1304, it is determined based on the stop button operation information stored in step 1302 whether or not the current stop operation is the third stop operation. If it does not correspond, the process proceeds to step S1305. The process proceeds to step S1306.

  In step S1305, reel stop preparation processing is performed. In this reel stop preparation process, preparation of stop data for the reel being rotated is performed. In step S1306, instruction monitor hide processing is performed. In this instruction monitor non-display process, a process of erasing the display by the payout number display 127 (instruction monitor) or the like is performed in response to the third stop operation.

  In step S1307, it is determined whether or not the pull-in control has been completed. If the pull-in control has not been completed, the process waits for the completion of the pull-in control. If completed, the process proceeds to step S1308. In step S1308, a request to transmit a reel stop command is issued. Here, when the first stop operation is performed, the transmission request of the first reel stop command is performed, and when the second stop operation is performed, the transmission request of the second reel stop command is performed. 3) When the stop operation is performed, the transmission request of the third reel stop command is performed. The command requested to be sent is sent to the first sub-control unit 400 in the command setting transmission process of the main control unit timer interrupt process described later.

  In step S1309, it is determined whether or not all the reels 110 to 112 have stopped. If applicable, the reel stop processing is ended, and if there is a reel in rotation, the process returns to step S1301 to stop the reels. Continue processing

<Stop button operation command transmission request processing>
Next, stop button operation command transmission request processing (step S1303) in the reel stop processing will be described using FIG. FIG. 26 is a flowchart showing a flow of stop button operation command transmission request processing.

  In step S1401, it is determined whether or not the internal winning combination is the re-playing combination 2 + 4 or not. If yes, then the process proceeds to step S1402; In step S1402, it is determined whether the AT set addition CZ flag is on or off. If it is applicable, the process proceeds to step S1403, and if it is not applicable, the process proceeds to step S1405. In step S1403, it is determined whether the gaming state of the RT system is RT6 or not. If it is applicable, the process proceeds to step S1404. If it is not applicable, the process proceeds to step S1405. That is, in steps S1401 to S1403, if the internal winning combination is replay combination 2 + 4, the AT set addition CZ flag is on, and the RT system gaming state is RT6, the process proceeds to step S1404; otherwise, to step S1405 move on.

  In step S1404, the stop button operation command transmission request process is terminated after the transmission request of the stop button operation command including the push order correctness information is made, and in step S1405, the transmission request of the stop button operation command not containing the push order correctness information. After performing the above, the stop button operation command transmission request processing ends. The command requested to be sent is sent to the first sub-control unit 400 in the command setting transmission process of the main control unit timer interrupt process described later.

  The stop button operation command according to this example is a continuous transmission command for continuously transmitting the first command data 1 of 2 byte length and the second command data of 2 byte length. The upper byte of the first command data is a fixed value (for example, 15H (H is a hexadecimal number; hereinafter the same)) indicating a command code. The lower 2 bits b0 to b1 of the lower byte is information indicating the number (actual operation reel number) of the reel (turning drum) on which the stop operation is actually performed. Here, the information indicating the actual operation reel number is a numerical value indicating the left reel 110 (for example, 01 B (B is a binary number; the same shall apply hereinafter)) when the left reel 110 is stopped. When the stop operation of the reel 111 is performed, it is a numerical value (for example, 10B) indicating the middle reel 111, and when the stop operation of the right reel 112 is performed, a numerical value (for example, 11B). The other 6 bits b2 to b7 of the lower byte are stop button acceptance symbol positions that indicate the symbol position at the time of acceptance of the stop button determined based on the reel rotation control processing in the latest main control unit timer interrupt processing It is information.

  Also, the upper byte of the second command data is a fixed value (for example, 16H) indicating a command code, and the lower 6 bits b0 to b5 of the lower byte are reel rotation control processing in the latest main control unit timer interrupt processing Information of the stop symbol position indicating the symbol position at the time of the reel stop determined based on the other 2 bits b6 to b7 of the lower byte is the number of the reel (turning drum) in the correct pressing order (the correct reel number It is the information which shows). Here, the information indicating the correct reel number is a numerical value (for example, 01B) indicating the left reel 110 in the case of the left reel 110, and a numerical value (for example, indicating the middle reel 111 in the case of the middle reel 111). 10B) is a numerical value (for example, 11B) indicating the right reel 112 in the case of the right reel 112, and is a numerical value (for example, 00B) indicating that in the case where the correct pressing order information is not included. .

  In the stop button operation command transmission request process of this example, when the first stop operation is performed, the actual operation reel number at the time of the first stop operation, the stop button acceptance symbol position, as the first stop button operation command, A transmission request of command data including the stop symbol position and the correct reel number is made. When the second stop operation is performed, the actual stop reel number, stop button reception symbol position, stop symbol position, and correct reel number at the time of the second stop operation are included as the second stop button operation command. Send command data transmission request. When the third stop operation is performed, the third stop button operation command includes the actual operation reel number, the stop button reception symbol position, the stop symbol position, and the correct reel number at the third stop operation. Send command data transmission request.

  The information to be transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub-control unit 400 and the transmission timing are not limited to the above-described example. For example, (1) information indicating the correct operation order ((1- 1) Information of a different mode (for example, all information of the first to third stop operations in the correct operation order at the start lever acceptance (eg: left middle right) → the first of the correct operation order after the first stop operation 1 Information on stop operation (example: left) → information on the second stop operation in the correct operation order (example: middle) after the second stop operation, (1-2) Information on the same mode (for example, start lever acceptance In the correct operation order of all the information of the first to third stop operation (example: left middle right) → all information of the first to third stop operation after the second stop operation (example: left middle right)) , (2) Information indicating the correctness (correct, incorrect) of the stop operation ((2-1) Correct operation order is 3 In the case of (1) after the first stop operation or after the second stop operation, (2-2) correct answer information for the first stop operation, and when the correct operation order is 6 options, the first stop operation after the first stop operation The correctness information only for the second stop operation may be correct information only for the second stop operation after the second stop operation, the correctness information for the first stop operation and the second stop operation only after the second stop operation, and the like.

<Playing state control processing>
Next, with reference to FIG. 27, the gaming state control process (step S109) in the main control unit main process will be described. FIG. 27 is a flow chart showing the flow of the gaming state control process.

  In step S1501, RT state update processing is performed. In this RT state update processing, processing etc. for updating the gaming state of the RT system is performed based on the transition diagram of RT described with reference to FIG. In step S1502, mode update processing is performed. In this mode update process, based on the transition diagram of the AT mode described with reference to FIG. 8, a process of updating the AT system gaming state is performed.

  In step S1503, an AT state update process is performed. In this AT state update processing, the AT game number is updated. Specifically, the AT flag is set to OFF when the AT remaining game number is 0, and the AT flag is turned on again when the AT set number remains. It sets to and performs processing which sets 50 as an initial value of the AT remaining game number. In addition, in the AT state update process, when the AT set number is updated, specifically, the AT set addition CZ flag is on, and the symbol combination corresponding to the replay player 4 is displayed in RT5, the AT set is displayed. If the AT combination and the CZ flag on the AT set is on and the symbol combination corresponding to the replay player 4 is displayed in RT6, the AT set is added and then the number of AT sets is subtracted. Furthermore, in the AT state update process, the AT set addition CZ is updated, specifically, the AT set addition CZ flag is set to OFF when falling to RT4, and the stock number of the AT set addition CZ is 1 or more at the same fall. In the case, after subtracting the stock number, the AT set addition CZ flag is set to ON again.

  In step S1504, a transmission request for a game state command is issued. The game state command according to the present example is the RT state based on the RT state update process of step S1501, the mode state (AT mode) based on the mode update process of step S1502, the number of AT sets or AT based on the AT state update process of step S1503. It is a continuous feed command including information such as the number of remaining games.

<Main control unit timer interrupt processing>
Next, a main control unit timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 28 is a flowchart showing the flow of the main control unit timer interrupt process.

  The main control unit 300 includes a counter timer 312 that generates a timer interrupt signal at a predetermined cycle (once in about 2 ms in this embodiment), and the main control unit timer interrupt is triggered by this timer interrupt signal. The process is started at a predetermined cycle.

  In step S1601, a timer interrupt start process is performed. In this timer interrupt start process, a process of temporarily saving the value of each register of the CPU 304 in the stack area is performed. In step S1602, the WDT 314 is periodically (this process is not detected) so that the WDT interrupt does not occur because the count value of the WDT 314 exceeds the initial set value (32.8 ms in the present embodiment). In the embodiment, the restart is performed once in about 2 ms, which is the cycle of the main control unit timer interrupt.

  In step S1603, input port state update processing is performed. In this input port state update process, detection signals of the sensor circuit 320 of the various sensors 318 are input through the input port of the I / O 310 to monitor the presence or absence of the detection signals, and the RAM 308 is divided for each of the various sensors 318. It stores in the provided signal state storage area. In step S1604, various game processes are executed, and a process corresponding to the interrupt status is executed. In step S1605, a timer update process is performed. More specifically, the various timers are updated in each time unit.

  In step S1606, device monitoring processing is performed. In this device monitoring process, first, the signal states of the various sensors 318 stored in the signal state storage area in step S1603 are read out, and the presence or absence of errors relating to medal insertion abnormality and medal discharge abnormality is monitored, and an error is detected. (Not shown) Execute error processing. Further, in accordance with the current gaming state, the medal selector 170 (a medal blocker on which the solenoid provided in the medal selector 170 operates), various lamps 339, and various seven-segment (SEG) indicators are set. In step S1607, a reel rotation control process is performed. Although details will be described later, in this reel rotation control processing, rotation control of the reels 110 to 112 is performed based on the rotation control data.

  In step S1608, command setting transmission processing is performed, and various commands that have been prepared for transmission (transmission request) are transmitted to the first sub control unit 400. In the first sub-control unit 400, according to the command type included in the received output schedule information, determination of effect control according to a change in game control in the main control unit 300 becomes possible, and is included in the output schedule information The effect control content can be determined based on the information of the command data. In step S1609, external output signal setting processing is performed. In this external output signal setting process, the game information stored in the RAM 308 is output to the information input circuit 652 separate from the slot machine 100 via the information output circuit 334.

  In step S1610, it is monitored whether the low voltage signal is on. Then, when the low voltage signal is on (when the power is shut off is detected), the process proceeds to step S1612, and when the low voltage signal is off (when the power is not detected), the process proceeds to step S1611.

  In step S1611, various processes are performed to end the timer interrupt end process. In this timer interruption end processing, the values of the respective registers temporarily saved in step S1601 are set in the respective original registers. Thereafter, the processing returns to the main control unit main processing. On the other hand, in step S1612, the power saving process such as initialization of the I / O port is performed by saving a specific variable or stack pointer for returning to the state upon power failure upon recovery from power as recovery data. Then, return to the main control unit main processing.

<Reel rotation control processing>
Next, reel rotation control processing (step S1607) in the main control unit timer interruption processing will be described using FIG. FIG. 29 is a flowchart showing the flow of the reel rotation control process.

  In step S1701, it is determined whether the operation of the stop buttons 137 to 139 is valid. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the operation of the stop button 137 to 139 is effective, based on the stop button valid information indicating whether the operation of the stop button 137 to 139 is effective, which is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 308 If the stop button valid information is set, it is determined that the operation of the stop buttons 137 to 139 is valid. The stop button valid information is set in the second constant speed control process.

  Here, the second constant speed control process is a process of mainly tracking the symbol position of the reel, and in order for the main control unit 300 to grasp the symbol position of the reel, two counters of a symbol number counter and a symbol interval counter The symbol position is monitored using. The symbol number counter is a counter for storing and retaining symbols located in the middle of the symbol display window 113 which is the reference position, and the symbol interval counter is the number of drive pulses per symbol (number of timer interrupt processing times) It is. The main control unit 300 sets the number of drive pulses per symbol to the symbol interval counter, subtracts it for each output of the drive pulse, and updates the symbol number counter by 1 when the value of the symbol interval counter becomes 0. I have to.

  In the second constant speed control process, the detection result of the index sensor stored in the predetermined storage area of the RAM 308 is acquired. The detection result of the index sensor is detected when passing of a light shielding piece provided at a position where the symbol number counter value is 0 and the symbol interval counter value is 0 is detected. When the detection result of the acquired index sensor is detection, since the symbol position of the reel can be searched, the stop button valid information is set.

  If it is determined in step S1701 that the operation of the stop button 137 to 139 is valid, the process proceeds to step S1702, and after performing the stop button reception process, the process proceeds to step S1703 and the operation of the stop button 137 to 139 is invalid If there is, the process advances to step S1703 without performing the stop button acceptance process.

  Here, the stop button reception process of step S1702 is a process of determining the stop position of the corresponding reel based on the operation of the stop buttons 137 to 139. Specifically, the stop acceptance information is acquired, the stoppable reel is determined from the acquired stop acceptance information, and is set as the stoppable reel information (for example, it is determined that the left reel 110 is the stoppable reel). When this happens, the left reel 110 is set). When the stop button corresponding to the reel corresponding to the set stoppable reel information is received, the lead-in counter setting process is performed.

  In this pull-in counter setting process, the value of the symbol number counter is acquired to detect the position at which the stop operation is performed, and the number of drawn-in frames is obtained from the selected reel stop control data based on the position at which the stop operation is performed. After that, referring to the excitation table, the number of remaining interrupts is acquired. Then, the lead-in counter value is calculated from the acquired number of drawn-in frames and the remaining number of interrupts, and the calculated lead-in counter value is set in the drawn-in counter.

  After the pull-in counter setting process, the reel control status of the reel on which the stop operation has been performed is updated to “stop”. Further, the stop button LED information is updated according to the stoppable reel information. This is to update the LED information of the stop button according to whether or not each reel can be stopped. For example, when the stopable reel is set to blue and the stop button is pressed. , Set the red.

  In step S1703, index detection information stored in a predetermined area (index sensor storage area) of the RAM 308 is acquired. The index detection information is information indicating whether or not an index sensor (not shown) has detected a light shielding piece of the reel, and is set in the second constant speed control process described above.

  In step S1704, reel control information is acquired. Here, the reel control information means the entire information on the rotation control of the reels 110 to 112, and is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 308. In the present embodiment, values such as the above-described reel control status are included in the reel control information.

  In step S1705, reel control determination processing is performed based on the acquired reel control information. Here, the reel control determination process is a process of sequentially switching the rotation control of the reels according to the reel control status. Specifically, acceleration control processing for accelerating the rotation of the reels 110 to 112, first constant speed control processing for rotating the reels 110 to 112 at a constant speed, the above-mentioned second constant speed control processing, the reels 110 to 110 The process is executed in the order of the pull-in control process of performing the pull-in control of 112 and the brake control process of stopping the rotation of the reels 110 to 112.

  In step S1706, it is determined whether the reel drive signal switching request flag is ON. The reel drive signal switching request flag is flag information stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300, and indicates whether to switch the currently set rotation control data. When the reel drive signal switching request flag is ON, the currently set rotation control data is switched. When the reel drive signal switching request flag is OFF, the currently set rotation control data is not switched. The reel drive signal switching request flag is set in each control process (specifically, acceleration control process and brake control process) of the above-described reel control determination process. If the reel drive signal switching request flag is ON, the process proceeds to step S1707. If the reel drive signal switching request flag is OFF, the process proceeds to step S1709.

  In step S1707, rotation control data is acquired based on the acquired reel control status and the like. Specifically, the corresponding excitation table (rotation control data) is acquired based on the reel control status and the like. In step S1708, the rotation control data acquired in step S1708 is set. In step S1709, since the content of the reel control information has been changed according to the above-described processing, the reel control information is updated. Subsequently, the processing of steps S1703 to S1709 is executed for all the reels 110 to 112.

<Process of first sub control unit>
Next, processing of the first sub control unit 400 will be described using FIG. FIG. 30A is a flowchart of main processing executed by the CPU 404 of the first sub control unit 400. FIG. 30B is a flowchart of command reception interrupt processing of the first sub control unit 400. FIG. 30C is a flowchart of timer interrupt processing of the first sub control unit 400.

  First, the main processing of the first secondary control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. When power is turned on, first, in step S2001, initialization processing is performed. In this initialization processing, initialization of input / output ports, initialization processing of storage areas in the RAM 408, and the like are performed. In this process, an area for storing internal winning information, which is information indicating the result of internal winning, and an area for storing RT update information, which is information indicating a gaming state, are respectively provided in the RAM 408.

  In step S2002, it is determined whether the timer variable is 10 or more. This process is repeated until the timer variable is 10, and when the timer variable is 10 or more, the process proceeds to step S2003. In step S2003, 0 is substituted for the timer variable. In step S2004, command processing is performed. Although the details will be described later, in this command processing, processing corresponding to each command received from the main control unit 300 is performed.

  In step S2005, effect control processing is performed. In this effect control process, preparation for effect (reservation) is performed in accordance with effect reservation information in the effect reservation area provided in the RAM 408. This preparation includes, for example, processing such as reading out the effect data from the ROM 406, and performing processing of updating the effect data when it is necessary to update the effect data.

  In step S2006, sound control processing is performed based on the processing result of step S2005. For example, when there is an instruction to the sound source IC 418 among the effect data read out in step S2005, this instruction is output to the sound source IC 418. In step S2007, lamp control processing is performed based on the processing result of step S2005. For example, when there is an instruction to the various lamps 420 in the effect data read out in step S2005, this instruction is output to the drive circuit 422.

  In step S2008, an information output process is performed to set to transmit a command to the second sub control unit 500 based on the process result in step S2005. For example, when there is a command to be transmitted to the second sub control unit 500 in the effect data read out in step S2005, the setting for outputting this control command is performed, and the process returns to step S2002.

  Next, the command reception interrupt processing of the first secondary control unit 400 will be described using FIG. The command reception interrupt process is a process executed when the first secondary control unit 400 detects a strobe signal output by the main control unit 300. In step S 2101 of the command reception interrupt process, the command output from the main control unit 300 is stored as an unprocessed command in a command storage area provided in the RAM 408.

  Next, a first secondary control unit timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 404 of the first secondary control unit 400 will be described using FIG. The first sub-control unit 400 includes a hardware timer that generates a timer interrupt at a predetermined cycle (once in 2 ms in this embodiment), and the timer interrupt process is triggered by this timer interrupt. Execute in the cycle of

  In step S2201, 1 is added to the value of the timer variable storage area of the RAM 408 described in step S2002 in the first secondary control unit main processing shown in FIG. 30A, and the original timer variable storage area is stored. Therefore, in step S2002, the value of the timer variable is determined to be 10 or more every 20 ms (2 ms × 10). In step S2202, transmission of a command to the second sub control unit 500 set in step S2008, update processing of effect random number values, and the like are performed.

<Command processing>
Next, command processing (step S2004) in the first sub control unit main processing will be described using FIG. FIG. 31 is a flowchart showing the flow of command processing.

  In step S 2101, it is determined whether or not the internal lottery command received from the main control unit 300 has been received (whether or not the internal lottery command is stored in the command storage area). After the lottery command reception process (details will be described later) is executed, the process is ended, and if it does not correspond, the process proceeds to step S2103. In step S2103, it is determined whether the first stop button operation command received from the main control unit 300 has been received (whether or not the first stop button operation command is stored in the command storage area). The process advances to step S2104 to execute the first stop button operation command reception process (details will be described later), and then the process ends. When it does not correspond, the process proceeds to step S2105.

  In step S2105, it is determined whether or not the second stop button operation command received from the main control unit 300 has been received (whether or not the second stop button operation command is stored in the command storage area). The process advances to step S2106 to execute a second stop button operation command reception process (details will be described later), and then the process ends. When it does not correspond, the process proceeds to step S2107. In step S2107, whether or not the reel stop command (any one of the first to third reel stop commands) received from the main control unit 300 has been received (a reel stop command (first to third reel stop commands in the command storage area) is received. It is determined whether or not any) is stored, and if applicable, the process proceeds to step S2108 to execute processing according to each reel stop command (any of the first to third reel stop commands). The processing ends, and in the case where it does not correspond, the processing proceeds to step S2109. In step S2109, command processing is terminated after other command reception processing is executed.

<Process when receiving internal lottery command>
Next, the internal lottery command reception process (step S2102) in the command process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 32 is a flow chart showing the flow of internal lottery command reception processing.

  In step S2201, command data of internal lottery command (internal winning information (information of internal winning combination), AT related information (lots of AT first winning lottery or AT set added CZ lottery etc.), pressing order information (correct pressing order or Various information is updated on the basis of (information indicating an incorrect push order) etc.). In step S2202, the push order information updated in step S2201 is referred to, and it is determined whether there is correct push order information or incorrect push order information. If there is not, the process proceeds to step S2209. The process advances to step S2203.

  In step S2203, the internal winning information updated in step S2201 is referred to to determine whether or not any of the replay roles has been internally won, and if any of the replay roles has not been internally won, The process advances to step S2208 to reserve a push order effect of the first to third stops based on the push order information, and the process advances to step S2209. On the other hand, when one of the replay roles is internally won, the process proceeds to step S2204. In step S2204, the AT-related information updated in step S2201 is referenced to determine whether or not the AT mode is in progress. If not applicable, the process proceeds to step S2207 and the pressing order of only the first stop based on the pressing order information After an effect (for example, a pressing order effect including a pressing order navigation image of “1 stop” shown in FIG. 45C) is reserved, the process proceeds to step S2209. On the other hand, when in the AT mode, the process proceeds to step S2206.

  In step S2205, after the pushing order of the second stop operation and the third stop operation is determined by the second stop third stop distribution lottery using a random number value etc., in the next step S2206, it is based on the lottery result of step S2205 After the pressing order effects of the first to third stops (for example, the pressing order effects shown in FIG. 44A to FIG. 44C) are reserved, the process proceeds to step S2209. In step S2209, after the other processing at the time of reception of the internal lottery command is executed, the processing at the time of internal lottery command reception is ended. In the other processing of step S2209, the effect lottery according to the gaming state and the mode state, the processing of reservation of the effect based on the lottery result, and the like are performed.

  Although details will be described later, in the case of the reservation of the effect in step S2209, for example, in the case where the internal player is internally elected to replay player combination 2 + 4 during RT5 and the AT set addition CZ flag is on, seven sets of navi (for example, FIG. (A) is used to make a reservation for performing 7 aiming navigation described later). Further, when the player is internally elected to replay player combination 2 + 4 during RT 6 and the AT set addition CZ flag is on, the 7 aim navigator (7 aim navigator (described in FIG. 45 (b) will be described later). Make a reservation to do)).

<Process when 1st stop button operation command is received>
Next, with reference to FIG. 33, the first stop button operation command reception process (step S2104) in command processing will be described. FIG. 33 is a flow chart showing a flow of processing when the first stop button operation command is received.

  In step S2301, various information is updated based on the command data of the first stop button operation command (the actual operation reel number, the stop button reception symbol position, the stop symbol position, and the correct reel number). For example, processing of storing the stop button reception position and stop symbol position in the storage area of the RAM 408 in association with the actual operation reel number and processing of storing the correct reel number in the storage area of the RAM 408 are performed. In the next step S2302, push order correctness determination processing is performed. In this pressing order correctness determination process, the actual stopping reel number at the time of the first stopping operation and the correct reel number of the first stopping operation updated at step S 2301 are compared with each other to determine whether or not the first stopping operation was correct pressing order. While performing the process of storing the history of the result of the first stop operation (left, middle or right) and the result of the push order determination (correct or incorrect) in the RAM 408 in chronological order.

  In steps S2303 to S2305, it is determined whether or not the blue 7 symbol is stopped and displayed on pay line L1 in the AT set-added CZ state, and the first stop operation is correct. If not, the process proceeds to step S2308. In step S2306, a type lottery of stop sound effect is performed. In the type lottery of the stop sound effect of the present example, for example, a process of selecting one stop sound by lottery from a normal stop sound and a plurality of types of special stop sounds is performed. In the next step S2307, the stop sound effect is reserved according to the type lottery in step S2306 as an effect corresponding to the first stop operation, and the process proceeds to step S2309. On the other hand, in step S2308, the normal stop sound effect is reserved as an effect corresponding to the first stop operation, and the process proceeds to step S2309. In step S2309, after executing other processing when the stop button operation command is received, the first stop button operation command reception processing ends.

  In the other processes of step S2309, for example, in the case of the normal mode, the process of the effect for ending the pressing order effect is performed based on the reception of the first stop button operation command, and in the case of the AT mode , Update of the display of the push order effect based on the reception of the first stop button operation command (for example, from the push order effect including push order navigation images of “1 stop to 3 stop” shown in FIG. The process of the effect for performing the update to the pressing order effect including the pressing order navigation image of “2 stops and 3 stops” shown in FIG.

<Process when 2nd stop button operation command is received>
Next, processing upon receiving a second stop button operation command in command processing (step S2106) will be described using FIG. FIG. 34 is a flow chart showing a flow of processing when the second stop button operation command is received.

  In step S2401, various information is updated based on the command data of the second stop button operation command (actual operation reel number, stop button reception symbol position, stop symbol position, correct reel number). For example, processing of storing the stop button reception position and stop symbol position in the storage area of the RAM 408 in association with the actual operation reel number and processing of storing the correct reel number in the storage area of the RAM 408 are performed. In the next step S2402, push order correctness determination processing is performed. In this pressing order correctness determination process, the actual operation reel number at the time of the second stopping operation and the correct reel number of the second stopping operation updated at step S2401 are compared with each other to determine whether the second stopping operation was correct pressing order. While performing the process of storing the history of the result of the second stop operation (left, middle or right) and the result of the push order determination (correct or incorrect) in the RAM 408 in chronological order. In step S2403, it is determined whether the blue 7 symbol is displayed on the pay line L1 (see, for example, FIG. 39 (b)). If so, the process proceeds to step S2404. If not, step S2409 is performed. Go to

  In steps S2404 to S2405, it is determined whether or not the first stop operation and the second stop operation are correct in the AT set added CZ state, and if so, the process proceeds to step S2406. If not, the process proceeds to step S2408. move on. In this example, in the case where the temperament of the blue 7 symbol immediately after shifting to the AT set-superposed CZ state, or when the pushing order is correct by chance etc., it is configured to proceed to the processing of step S2408 (normal tempai effect) . Alternatively, it may be determined whether or not there is a blue 7 pattern temply, and if it is, the process may proceed to the process of step S2406 (type lottery for tempy sound effect).

  In step S2406, a type lottery for tempai effect is performed. In the type lottery of temppai effect of this example, for example, processing of selecting one stop sound by lottery from a normal tempy sound and a plurality of types of special tempy sounds is performed. It should be noted that in this type selection of tempery effect, when a special stop sound is selected in the type lottery of stop sound effect in the first stop button operation command acceptance process (step S2306), the special tempy sound is likely to be selected It is composed of In the next step S2407, as an effect corresponding to the second stop operation, a reservation for a temppai effect corresponding to the type lottery in step S2406 is made, and the process proceeds to step S2409. On the other hand, in step S2408, a reservation for normal tempe effect is made as an effect corresponding to the second stop operation, and the process proceeds to step S2409. In step S2409, the second stop button operation command acceptance process is ended after other processes upon receipt of the stop button operation command are executed.

  In the other processing of step S2409, for example, in the case of the AT mode, the display of the push order navigation is updated based on the reception of the second stop button operation command (for example, “2 stop shown in FIG. Perform the processing of the effect for performing the updating to the pressing order effect including the pressing order navigation image of “3 stopping” shown in the same figure (c) from the pressing order effect including the pressing order navigation image of “and 3 stops” . Although not shown, when the first sub control unit 400 receives the third stop button operation command in the AT mode, an effect for ending the push order navigation (for example, as shown in FIG. 44C). The processing of (the effect of displaying the image in the AT mode in FIG. 7B) is performed by deleting the pressing order effect including the pressing order navigation image of “3 stop” shown.

  In this example, the stop operation is performed by performing the pressing order correctness determination each time the stop operation of the stop buttons 137 to 139 is performed (in this example, each time the first stop operation and the second stop operation are performed). Although each effect (in this example, stop sound effect and temper effect) is performed, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, at the time of the second stop operation, the first stop operation and the second stop operation It may be configured to simultaneously determine whether the pressing order is correct or not. With such a configuration, it is possible to simplify the process required to determine whether or not the pushing order is correct, and to reduce the control load.

  In addition, the effect regarding the correctness of the stop operation is not limited to the above-mentioned example, for example, if it is after the first stop operation, an effect that indicates whether the first stop operation is correct or incorrect (for example, OK, GOOD , Correct answer, display of characters and symbols such as 、, sound output of sound effects, background color and background image switching), and a degree of expectation effect of whether or not a second stop mode to which a benefit is given is displayed ( Sound output of multiple types of sounds according to the degree of expectation, display of multiple types of colors and patterns according to the degree of expectation, display of special characters), and after the second stopping operation If the expectation is low, the normal tempy sound is emitted, the expectation high is the special tempy sound, and after the third stop operation, the display of the seven-set pressing order history image shown in FIG. May be

<Process of Second Sub Control Unit 500>
Next, processing of the second sub control unit 500 will be described using FIG. FIG. 35 (a) is a flowchart of main processing executed by the CPU 504 of the second sub control unit 500, and FIG. 35 (b) is a flowchart of command reception interrupt processing of the second sub control unit 500. . Further, FIG. 6C is a flowchart of timer interrupt processing of the second sub control unit 500, and FIG. 6D is a flowchart of image control processing of the second sub control unit 500.

  First, in step S2501 of the second sub control unit main processing, various initial settings are performed. When power is turned on, first, in step S2501, initialization processing is performed. In this initialization process, input / output port initialization, initialization of a storage area in the RAM 508, and the like are performed. In step S2502, it is determined whether the timer variable is 10 or more. This process is repeated until the timer variable is 10, and when the timer variable is 10 or more, the process proceeds to step S2503. In step S2503, 0 is substituted for the timer variable.

  In step S2504, command processing is performed. In command processing, the CPU 504 of the second secondary control unit 500 determines whether a command has been received from the CPU 404 of the first secondary control unit 400 or not. In step S2505, an effect control process is performed. For example, if there is a new command in step S2504, processing corresponding to this command is performed. This processing includes, for example, processing such as reading out effect data from the ROM 506, and performing processing of updating effect data when the effect data needs to be updated.

  In step S2506, image control processing is performed based on the processing result of step S2505. For example, if there is an image control instruction in the effect data read out in step S2505, image control corresponding to this instruction is performed, and the process returns to step S2502.

  Next, the command reception interrupt process of the second secondary control unit 500 will be described. The command reception interrupt process is a process that is executed when the second secondary control unit 500 detects a strobe signal output by the first secondary control unit 400. In step S2601 of the command reception interrupt process, the command output from the first secondary control unit 400 is stored as an unprocessed command in the command storage area provided in the RAM 508.

  Next, a second secondary control unit timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 504 of the second secondary control unit 500 will be described. The second secondary control unit 500 includes a hardware timer that generates a timer interrupt at a predetermined cycle (once in 2 ms in the present embodiment), and the timer interrupt process is triggered when the timer interrupt is triggered. Execute in the cycle of

  In step S2701, 1 is added to the value of the timer variable storage area of the RAM 508 described in step S2502 in the second sub control unit main processing, and the original timer variable storage area is stored. Therefore, in step S 2502, the value of the timer variable is determined to be 10 or more every 20 ms (2 ms × 10). In step S2702, a process of updating the effect random number value is performed.

  Next, the image control process of step S2506 in the main process of the second sub control unit 500 will be described. In step S2801, an instruction to transfer image data is issued. Here, the CPU 504 first swaps designation of the display area A of the VRAM 518 and the drawing area of the display area B. Thereby, the image of one frame stored in the display area not designated as the drawing area is displayed on the effect image display device 157.

  Next, the CPU 504 sets ROM coordinates (transfer source address of the ROM 506), VRAM coordinates (transfer destination address of the VRAM 518), etc. in the attribute register of the VDP 516 based on the position information table, etc. Set an instruction to start data transfer. The VDP 516 transfers image data from the ROM 506 to the VRAM 518 based on an instruction set in the attribute register. Thereafter, the VDP 516 outputs a transfer end interrupt signal to the CPU 504.

  In step S2802, it is determined whether or not the transfer end interrupt signal from VDP 516 is input. If the transfer end interrupt signal is input, the process proceeds to step S2803, and if not, the transfer end interrupt signal is input. Wait for In step S2803, parameter setting is performed based on the rendering scenario configuration table and the attribute data. Here, in order to form a display image in the display area A or B of the VRAM 518 based on the image data transferred to the VRAM 518 in step S 2801, the CPU 504 information of image data constituting the display image (coordinate axis of VRAM 518, image size , VRAM coordinates (arrangement coordinates), etc.). The VDP 516 performs parameter setting in accordance with the attribute based on the instruction stored in the attribute register.

  In step S2804, a drawing instruction is issued. In this drawing instruction, the CPU 504 instructs the VDP 516 to start drawing an image. The VDP 516 starts image drawing in the frame buffer according to the instruction of the CPU 504. In step S2805, it is determined whether or not the generation end interrupt signal from VDP 516 is input based on the end of image drawing, and if the generation end interrupt signal is input, the process proceeds to step S2806, otherwise the generation end interrupt signal Wait for the input. In step S2806, a scene display counter, which is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 508 and counts the number of images of a scene, is incremented (+1), and the process ends.

<Reel stop control>
Next, reel stop control by the slot machine 100 according to the present embodiment will be described using a specific example with reference to FIGS.

<When reel stop control / "small role 3 + 4 + 5 (LCR)" internal winning>
As described above, in the case of internally winning the "small part 3 + 4 + 5 (LCR)" which is a push order small part, which symbol combination is in accordance with the combination of the operation sequence and operation timing of the stop operation by the stop buttons 137-139 It is determined whether or not to be displayed on the pay line L1.

<When the operation order is in the left middle, right or left / right>
FIG. 36 internally wins the "small part 3 + 4 + 5 (LCR)" which is a push order small part, and a predetermined correct operation order (LCR) or a predetermined incorrect operation order (in this example, LRC) It is a figure showing an example of reel stop control when stop operation is performed according to a time series.

<When the operation order is middle left, middle right or left / first stop = left>
For example, the first stop operation in which the first stop reel is the left reel 110 (stop operation by the left stop button 137) in accordance with a predetermined correct answer operation order (LCR) or a predetermined incorrect answer operation order (LRC) When it is removed, the symbol (replay symbol) corresponding to the left reel 110 in the symbol combination (replay symbol-bell symbol-replay symbol) corresponding to the small part 3 or the symbol combination corresponding to the small part 4 A symbol (replay symbol) corresponding to the left reel 110 (of any of the two symbol combinations Fr4 to 5 shown in FIG. 5) or a symbol combination (Fr6 shown in FIG. 5) corresponding to the small part 5 Left reel 1 so that a symbol (a blue 7 symbol or a red 7 symbol) corresponding to the left reel 110 of any of two types of symbol combinations 7) is displayed on pay line L1 0 of stop control is performed.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 5, the symbol corresponding to the left reel 110 in the symbol combination corresponding to the small winning combination 3 is a replay symbol, and the symbol combination corresponding to the small winning combination 4 (Fr4 to FIG. 5 shown in FIG. The symbols corresponding to the left reel 110 of any of the two types of symbol combinations of 5 are all replay symbols, and the symbol combinations corresponding to the small part 5 (Fr6 to 7 shown in FIG. 5) The symbol corresponding to the left reel 110 in any symbol combination) is a blue 7 symbol or a red 7 symbol. Among the three types of symbols, the number of symbol combinations that can be stopped and displayed on the payline L1 is the largest, since it is a replay symbol, the number of symbol combinations that can be stopped and displayed on the payline L1 is the largest. When a large number of stop control (hereinafter referred to as "symbol combination priority stop control") is performed, the stop control of the left reel 110 is performed so that the replay symbol is displayed on the pay line L1.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, while the number of payouts corresponding to the small winning combination 3 is nine, the number of payouts corresponding to the small winning combination 4 and the small winning combination 5 is one each. Since the number of payouts is the largest when the replay symbol is stopped and displayed on the left reel 110, the stop control (hereinafter referred to as "the number-of-payout priority stop control") is the line where the number of payouts is the largest. When it is determined that the reel is stopped, the stop control of the left reel 110 is performed so that the replay symbol is displayed on the pay line L1.

  Here, since the first stop operation is performed in the correct push order, the payout number priority stop control is prioritized over the symbol combination priority stop control, and the symbol combination (replay symbol-bell symbol) corresponding to the small winning combination 3 The stop control of the left reel 110 is performed so that the symbol (replay symbol) corresponding to the left reel 110 of the (replay symbol) is displayed on the pay line L1.

<If the operation order is left middle right / first stop = left → second stop = middle>
Next, when a second stop operation (stop operation by the middle stop button 138) is performed in which the second stop reel is set to the middle reel 111 in accordance with a predetermined correct answer operation order (LCR), Since 1 stop operation and 2nd stop operation were performed, the number-of-payouts priority stop control is performed prior to the symbol combination priority stop control, and as shown in FIG. 36 (b), the symbol corresponding to the small winning combination 3 The stop control of the middle reel 111 is performed so that the symbol (bell symbol) corresponding to the middle reel 111 in the combination (replay symbol-bell symbol-replay symbol) is displayed on the pay line L1.

<When the operation order is left middle right / first stop = left → second stop = medium → third stop = right>
Subsequently, in the case where the third stop operation (stop operation by the right stop button 139) for setting the third stop reel as the right reel 112 in accordance with the predetermined correct answer operation order (LCR) is performed, FIG. As shown, the symbol (replay symbol) corresponding to the right reel 112 in the symbol combination (replay symbol-bell symbol-replay symbol) corresponding to the small winning combination 3 is displayed on the payline L1. 112 stop control is performed.

  As described above, when the stop operation is performed according to the correct operation order (LCR) shown in FIG. 36 (a) → FIG. 36 (b) → FIG. 36 (c), the symbol combination corresponding to the small winning combination 3 is performed by the reel stop process. (Replay symbol-Bell symbol-Replay symbol) is displayed on the pay line L1, and nine medals are paid out by the medal payout process.

<If the operation order is in the middle / first stop = left → second stop = right>
On the other hand, after the first stop operation (stop operation by the left stop button 137) shown in FIG. 36A is performed, the second stop reel is set as the right reel 112 in accordance with a predetermined incorrect answer operation order (LRC). When the second stop operation (stop operation by the right stop button 139) is performed, as shown in FIG. 36 (d), of the symbol combinations (replay symbol-bell symbol-replay symbol) corresponding to the small winning combination 3 The symbol corresponding to the right reel 112 (replay symbol) or the symbol combination corresponding to the small part 4 (here, since the replay symbol is stopped on the pay line L1 of the left reel 110, “replay symbol − The symbol (bell symbol) corresponding to the right reel 112 of either the watermelon symbol-bell symbol or the "replay symbol-blank 1 symbol-bell symbol" is the payline L Stop control of the right reel 112 is made to appear above.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 5, the symbol corresponding to the right reel 112 in the symbol combination corresponding to the small winning combination 3 is a replay symbol, and the symbol combination corresponding to the small winning combination 4 (Fr4 shown in FIG. 5 All of the symbols corresponding to the right reel 112 in any of the two types of symbol combinations of 5 are bell symbols. Of these two types of symbols, the greatest number of symbol combinations that can be stopped and displayed on the pay line L1 is the bell symbol, so when the above-mentioned symbol combination priority stop control is performed, the bell symbol is selected. Stop control of the right reel 112 is performed so that the symbol is displayed on the pay line L1.

  Here, since the second stop operation is performed in the incorrect push order, the symbol combination priority stop control is performed without the number-of-payouts priority stop control being performed, and the bell symbol is displayed on the payline L1 right Stop control of the reel 112 is performed.

<When the operation order is in the left / right / 1st stop = left → 2nd stop = right → 3rd stop = middle>
Subsequently, when the third stop operation (stop operation by the middle stop button 138) is performed in which the third stop reel is set to the middle reel 111 in accordance with a predetermined incorrect operation order (LRC), as shown in FIG. ), The symbol (watermelon symbol / blank 1 symbol) corresponding to the middle reel 111 in the symbol combination (replay symbol-watermelon symbol / blank 1 symbol-bell symbol) corresponding to the small part 4 is the payline L1. Stop control of the middle reel 111 is performed so as to be displayed above. In this example, since the watermelon pattern is within the pull-in range, the stop control of the middle reel 111 is performed so that the watermelon pattern is displayed on the pay line L1.

  As described above, when the stop operation is performed according to the incorrect answer operation order (LRC) shown in FIG. 36 (a) → FIG. 36 (d) → FIG. A combination (replay symbol-watermelon symbol / blank 1 symbol-bell symbol) is displayed on the pay line L1, and one medal is paid out by the medal payout process.

<When the operation order is in the middle left or right middle>
FIG. 37 is internally elected to "small part 3 + 4 + 5 (LCR)" which is a pushing order, and an operation order (this example is not the correct answer operation order (LCR) and incorrect answer operation order (in this example LRC) In an example, it is a figure showing an example of reel stop control in a case where stop operation is performed by RCL or RLC) in time series.

<When the operation order is middle right left or middle left / first stop = right>
For example, the first stop reel may be the right reel 111 in an operation order other than the predetermined correct operation order (LCR) and the incorrect operation order (LRC) (in this example, right middle left or right middle). When the stop operation (stop operation by the right stop button 139) is performed, the symbol (replay symbol) corresponding to the right reel 112 in the symbol combination (replay symbol-bell symbol-replay symbol) corresponding to the small winning combination 3 Or, the symbol (bell symbol) corresponding to the right reel 112 in the symbol combination (one of the two symbol combinations of Fr4 and 5 shown in FIG. 5) corresponding to the small symbol 4 or the small symbol 5 The right symbol (watermelon symbol) corresponding to the right reel 112 of the corresponding symbol combination (one of the two symbol combinations of Fr6 and 7 shown in FIG. 5) is displayed on the payline L1. Stop control of the Le 112 is performed.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 5, the symbol corresponding to the right reel 112 in the symbol combination corresponding to the small winning combination 3 is a replay symbol, and the symbol combination corresponding to the small winning combination 4 (Fr4 shown in FIG. 5 The symbols corresponding to the right reel 112 of any of the two types of symbol combinations of 5 are all bell symbols, and the symbol combinations corresponding to the small part 5 (Fr6 to 7 shown in FIG. 5) The symbols corresponding to the right reel 112 in any of the symbol combinations are all watermelon symbols. Among these three types of symbols, the largest number of symbol combinations that can be stopped and displayed on the pay line L1 is the bell symbol or the watermelon symbol, so when the symbol combination priority stop control described above is performed. The stop control of the right reel 112 is performed such that a bell symbol or a watermelon symbol is displayed on the pay line L1.

  In this case, since the first stop operation is performed in the incorrect pressing order, the symbol combination priority stop control is performed without performing the number-of-payouts priority stop control, and the bell symbol or watermelon symbol (watermelon symbol in this example) Stop control of the right reel 112 is performed so as to be displayed on the pay line L1.

<When the operation order is right middle left / first stop = right → second stop = medium>
Next, when the second stop operation (stop operation by the middle stop button 138) is performed to set the second stop reel to the middle reel 111, as shown in FIG. 37 (b), a symbol corresponding to the small winning combination 5 Combination (in this case, since “watermelon pattern” is stopped on pay line L1 of right reel 112, “blue 7 pattern-cherry pattern-watermelon pattern” or “red 7 pattern-cherry pattern-watermelon pattern”) The stop control of the middle reel 111 is performed so that the symbol (cherry symbol) corresponding to the middle reel 111 is displayed on the pay line L1.

<When the operation order is right middle left / first stop = right → second stop = medium → third stop = left>
Subsequently, when the third stop operation (stop operation by the left stop button 137) is performed with the third stop reel as the left reel 110, as shown in FIG. 37 (c), a symbol corresponding to the small winning combination 5 As the “watermelon pattern” is stopped on the pay line L1 of the right reel 112 and the “cherry pattern” is stopped on the pay line L1 of the middle reel 111 in this case (here, “blue 7 pattern − cherry pattern” -When the symbol (blue 7 symbol or red 7 symbol) corresponding to the left reel 110 in the watermelon symbol or the red 7 symbol-cherry symbol-watermelon symbol is within the pull-in range, the symbol ( In this example, stop control of the left reel 110 is performed such that the red 7 symbol is displayed on the pay line L1.

  On the other hand, when the symbol (blue 7 symbol or red 7 symbol) corresponding to the left reel 110 is not within the pull-in range, the symbol combination (in this example) corresponding to the spilled eye as shown in FIG. , And the stop control of the left reel 110 is performed such that "Replay symbol-Cherry symbol-Watermelon symbol" is displayed on the pay line L1.

  As described above, when the stop operation is performed in the operation order and the operation timing shown in FIG. 37 (a) → FIG. 37 (b) → FIG. 37 (c), the symbol combination corresponding to the small winning combination 5 (reel stop processing) Red 7 symbols-cherry symbols-watermelon symbols) are displayed on the pay line L1, and one medal is paid out by the medal payout process. On the other hand, when the stop operation is performed in the operation sequence and the operation timing shown in FIG. 37 (a) → the same figure (b) → the same figure (d), the symbol combination (replay symbol − Cherry symbol-watermelon symbol) is displayed on the pay line L1, and the medal payout process is not performed.

<When the operation order is in the right / left / 1st stop = right → 2nd stop = left>
Next, after the first stop operation in which the first stop reel shown in FIG. 37 (a) is the right reel 112, the second stop operation in which the second stop reel is the left reel 110 (stop operation by the left stop button 137) If it is removed, as shown in FIG. 37 (e), the symbol combination corresponding to the small part 5 (here, the “watermelon pattern” is stopped on the pay line L1 of the right reel 112, The symbol (7 blue symbols or 7 red symbols) corresponding to the left reel 110 in "Blue 7 symbols-Cherry symbol-Watermelon symbol" or "Red 7 symbol-Cherry symbol-Watermelon symbol" is within the pull-in range At this time, the stop control of the left reel 110 is performed such that the symbol (in this example, seven red symbols in this example) is displayed on the pay line L1.

  On the other hand, when the symbol (blue 7 symbol or red 7 symbol) corresponding to the left reel 110 is not within the pull-in range, as shown in FIG. 37 (g), the symbol combination (in this example) corresponding to the spilled eye The stop control of the left reel 110 is performed so that the symbol (replay symbol) corresponding to the left reel 110 among the "replay symbol-cherry symbol-watermelon symbol" is displayed on the pay line L1.

<When the operation order is in the right / left / first stop = right → second stop = left → third stop = medium>
Subsequently, after the second stop operation in which the second stop reel shown in FIG. 37E is the left reel 110, the third stop operation in which the third stop reel is the middle reel 111 (stop operation by the middle stop button 138) If it is removed, as shown in FIG. 37 (f), the symbol combination corresponding to the small part 5 (here, the “watermelon pattern” stops on the pay line L1 of the right reel 112 and the left reel 110 Since "red 7 symbols" are stopped on pay line L1, a symbol (cherry symbol) corresponding to middle reel 110 among red 7 symbols-cherry pattern-watermelon pattern is displayed on pay line L1. Stop control of the middle reel 111 is performed.

  On the other hand, after the second stop operation in which the second stop reel illustrated in FIG. 37G is the left reel 110, the third stop operation in which the third stop reel is the middle reel 111 (stop operation by the middle stop button 138) In the case where it is selected, as shown in FIG. 37 (h), the symbol (cherry symbol) corresponding to the middle reel 110 in the symbol combination (replay symbol-cherry symbol-watermelon symbol) corresponding to the spilled eye is the pay line Stop control of the middle reel 111 is performed so as to be displayed on L1.

  As described above, when the stop operation is performed in the operation order and the operation timing shown in FIG. 37 (a) → FIG. 37 (e) → FIG. Red 7 symbols-cherry symbols-watermelon symbols) are displayed on the pay line L1, and one medal is paid out by the medal payout process. On the other hand, when the stop operation is performed in the operation order and the operation timing shown in FIG. 37 (a) → FIG. 39 (g) → FIG. 37 (h), symbol combinations corresponding to the spilled eyes are generated by the reel stop processing (Replay symbol- Cherry symbol-watermelon symbol) is displayed on the pay line L1, and the medal payout process is not performed.

<When the operation order is middle right left or middle left / right>
FIG. 38 is internally elected to "small part 3 + 4 + 5 (LCR)" which is a push order small part, and an operation order other than a predetermined correct operation order (LCR) and incorrect answer operation order (in this example, LRC) ( In this example, it is the figure which showed an example of the reel stop control in case stop operation is performed by CRL or CLR in time series.

<If the operation order is middle right left or middle left / right / 1st stop = right>
For example, the first stop in which the first stop reel is the middle reel 111 in the operation order other than the predetermined correct operation order (LCR) and the incorrect answer operation order (LRC) (in this example, middle right left or middle left and right) When the operation (stop operation by the middle stop button 138) is performed, the symbol (bell symbol) corresponding to the middle reel 111 in the symbol combination (replay symbol-bell symbol-replay symbol) corresponding to the small part 3; Alternatively, a symbol (watermelon symbol or blank 1 symbol) corresponding to the middle reel 111 of symbol combinations (one of the two symbol combinations of Fr4 and 5 shown in FIG. 5) corresponding to the small part 4 or the small The symbol (cherry symbol) corresponding to the middle reel 111 in the symbol combination (one of the two symbol combinations of Fr 6 to 7 shown in FIG. 5) corresponding to the combination 5 is on the pay line L1. Stop control of the reel 111 is performed as indicated.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 5, the symbol corresponding to the middle reel 111 in the symbol combination corresponding to the small winning combination 3 is a bell symbol, and the symbol combination corresponding to the small winning combination 4 (Fr 4 to 4 shown in FIG. The symbol corresponding to the middle reel 111 in any of the two types of symbol combinations 5 is a watermelon symbol or a blank 1 symbol, and a symbol combination corresponding to the small part 5 (2 of Fr 6 to 7 shown in FIG. 5) Any of the symbols corresponding to the middle reel 111 in any of the symbol combinations of types is a cherry symbol. Among the four types of symbols, the reason that the number of symbol combinations that can be stopped and displayed on the pay line L1 is the largest is the cherry symbol, so when the symbol combination priority stop control described above is performed, the cherry symbol The stop control of the middle reel 111 is performed so that the symbol is displayed on the pay line L1.

  Here, since the first stop operation is performed in the incorrect push order, the symbol combination priority stop control is performed without performing the number-of-payouts priority stop control, and the cherry symbol is displayed on the payline L1. Stop control of the reel 111 is performed.

<If the operation order is middle right / left / 1st stop = middle → 2nd stop = right>
Next, when the second stop operation (stop operation by the right stop button 139) is performed to set the second stop reel to the right reel 112, as shown in FIG. 38 (b), a symbol corresponding to the small winning combination 5 Combination (in this case, since "Cherry symbol" is stopped on pay line L1 of middle reel 111, "Blue 7 symbol-Cherry symbol-Watermelon symbol" or "Red 7 symbol-Cherry symbol-Watermelon symbol") The stop control of the right reel 112 is performed so that the symbol (watermelon pattern) corresponding to the right reel 112 is displayed on the pay line L1.

<If the operation order is middle right / left / 1st stop = middle → 2nd stop = right → 3rd stop = left>
Subsequently, when the third stop operation (stop operation by the left stop button 137) is performed with the third stop reel as the left reel 110, as shown in FIG. 38C, a symbol corresponding to the small winning combination 5 As the “watermelon pattern” is stopped on the pay line L1 of the right reel 112 and the “cherry pattern” is stopped on the pay line L1 of the middle reel 111 in this case (here, “blue 7 pattern − cherry pattern” -When the symbol (blue 7 symbol or red 7 symbol) corresponding to the left reel 110 in the watermelon symbol or the red 7 symbol-cherry symbol-watermelon symbol is within the pull-in range, the symbol ( In this example, stop control of the left reel 110 is performed such that the red 7 symbol is displayed on the pay line L1.

  On the other hand, when the symbol (blue 7 symbol or red 7 symbol) corresponding to the left reel 110 is not within the pull-in range, the symbol combination (in this example) corresponding to the spilled eye as shown in FIG. , And the stop control of the left reel 110 is performed such that "Replay symbol-Cherry symbol-Watermelon symbol" is displayed on the pay line L1.

  As described above, when the stop operation is performed in the operation order and the operation timing shown in FIG. 38 (a) → FIG. 38 (b) → FIG. Red 7 symbols-cherry symbols-watermelon symbols) are displayed on the pay line L1, and one medal is paid out by the medal payout process. On the other hand, when the stop operation is performed in the operation order and the operation timing shown in FIG. 38 (a) → FIG. (B) → FIG. (D), symbol combinations (replay symbols- Cherry symbol-watermelon symbol) is displayed on the pay line L1, and the medal payout process is not performed.

<If the operation order is middle left / right / 1st stop = middle → 2nd stop = left>
Next, after the first stop operation in which the first stop reel shown in FIG. 38 (a) is the middle reel 111, the second stop operation in which the second stop reel is the left reel 110 (stop operation by the left stop button 137) If it is removed, as shown in FIG. 38 (e), the symbol combination corresponding to the small part 5 (here, since the "cherry symbol" is stopped on the pay line L1 of the middle reel 111, The symbol (7 blue symbols or 7 red symbols) corresponding to the left reel 110 in "Blue 7 symbols-Cherry symbol-Watermelon symbol" or "Red 7 symbol-Cherry symbol-Watermelon symbol" is within the pull-in range At this time, the stop control of the left reel 110 is performed such that the symbol (in this example, seven red symbols) is displayed on the pay line L1.

  On the other hand, when the symbol (blue 7 symbol or red 7 symbol) corresponding to the left reel 110 is not within the pull-in range, the symbol combination (in this example) corresponding to the spilled eye as shown in FIG. The stop control of the left reel 110 is performed so that the symbol (replay symbol) corresponding to the left reel 110 among the "replay symbol-cherry symbol-watermelon symbol" is displayed on the pay line L1.

<If the operation order is middle left / right / 1st stop = middle → 2nd stop = left → 3rd stop = right>
Subsequently, after the second stop operation in which the second stop reel illustrated in FIG. 38E is the left reel 110, the third stop operation in which the third stop reel is the right reel 112 (stop operation by the right stop button 139) If it is removed, as shown in FIG. 38 (f), the symbol combination corresponding to the small part 5 (here, the “cherry symbol” stops on the pay line L1 of the middle reel 111, and the left reel 110 is Since “Red 7 symbols” is stopped on pay line L 1, the symbol (watermelon pattern) corresponding to right reel 112 of red 7 symbols − cherry pattern − watermelon pattern is displayed on pay line L 1 Control of the right reel 112 is performed.

  On the other hand, after the second stop operation in which the second stop reel shown in FIG. 38G is the left reel 110, the third stop operation (stop operation by the right stop button 138) in which the third stop reel is the right reel 112 In the case where it is selected, as shown in FIG. 38 (h), the symbol (cherry symbol) corresponding to the middle reel 110 in the symbol combination (replay symbol-cherry symbol-watermelon symbol) corresponding to the spilled eye is the pay line Stop control of the right reel 112 is performed so as to be displayed on L1.

  As described above, when the stop operation is performed in the operation order and the operation timing shown in FIG. 38 (a) → FIG. (E) → FIG. (F), the symbol combination corresponding to the small winning combination 5 (reel stop processing) Red 7 symbols-cherry symbols-watermelon symbols) are displayed on the pay line L1, and one medal is paid out by the medal payout process. On the other hand, when the stop operation is performed in the operation sequence and operation timing shown in FIG. 38 (a) → FIG. (G) → FIG. (H), the symbol combination (replay symbol- Cherry symbol-watermelon symbol) is displayed on the pay line L1, and the medal payout process is not performed.

<Reel Stop Control / When Replay Role 2 + 4 Internal Win>
As described above, when the player is internally elected to "replay combination 2 + 4" which is the push order replay, which symbol combination is displayed on the pay line L1 according to the operation order of the stop operation by the stop buttons 137-139 It is determined whether or not.

<In case of correct operation order>
FIG. 39 is a diagram showing an example of reel stop control in time series when stop operation is performed according to the correct operation order determined by lottery by internally winning to “replay role 2 + 4” which is push order replay. is there. Here, the case is described where the reel stop data TD7 is selected by the stop data distribution lottery, and the correct operation order is the first stop operation in which the first stop reel is the left reel 110. Although the case where the operation order is left, middle, and right will be described here, the first stop operation in which the first stop reel is the left reel 110 is performed even when the operation order is in the left and right. Reel stop control can be applied.

<In case of correct operation order / 1st stop = left>
For example, when the first stop operation (stop operation by the left stop button 137) is performed to set the first stop reel as the left reel 110 in accordance with the correct operation order (first stop = left) determined by the lottery, The symbol (replay symbol or blue 7 symbol) corresponding to the left reel 110 in the symbol combination (any of the four symbol combinations of Rep2 to 5 shown in FIG. 5) corresponding to the gaming combination 2 or the replay The symbol corresponding to the left reel 110 of the symbol combination (any of the eight symbol combinations of Reps 7 to 14 shown in FIG. 5) corresponding to the combination 4 (any of the blue 7 symbol, the bell symbol, or the replay symbol) Is controlled to be displayed on the pay line L1.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 5, the symbol corresponding to the left reel 110 among the four symbol combinations of Reps 2 to 5 corresponding to the replay role 2 is the replay symbol or the blue 7 symbol, and the replay role is The symbol corresponding to the left reel 110 among the eight symbol combinations of Reps 7 to 14 corresponding to 4 is a blue 7 symbol, a bell symbol, or a replay symbol. Among the three types of symbols, the number of symbol combinations that can be stopped and displayed on the pay line L1 is the largest number of blue 7 symbols, so when the above-mentioned symbol combination preferential stop control is performed, Stop control of the left reel 110 is performed such that the blue 7 symbol is displayed on the pay line L1.

  Here, since the number of payouts of "replay combination 2 + 4" is 0, the symbol combination priority stop control is performed without performing the number-of-payouts priority stop control, and the first stop with the first stop reel being the left reel 110 When an operation (stop operation by the left stop button 137) is performed, stop control of the left reel 110 is performed so that the blue 7 symbol is displayed on the pay line L1, as shown in FIG. 39 (a). .

  Further, in the first stop button operation command reception process described with reference to FIG. 33, the first sub-control unit 400 determines that the blue 7 symbol is stopped and the first stop operation is correct and the stop is performed. Stop sound is reserved according to the type selection of sound effects. Thereby, one stop sound selected by lottery from the normal stop sound and the plurality of types of special stop sounds is output from the speakers 272 and 277.

<In case of correct operation order / 1st stop = left → 2nd stop = middle>
Next, when the second stop operation for setting the second stop reel to the middle reel 111 (stop operation by the middle stop button 138) is performed, the symbol combination corresponding to the second game player 2 (here, for the left reel 110). Since the blue 7 symbol is stopped on the pay line L1, the symbol (blue 7 symbol or replay) corresponding to the middle reel 111 of any of the two symbol combinations of Rep 3 and 4 shown in FIG. 5) Or the symbol combination corresponding to the replay part 4 (here, since the blue 7 symbol is stopped on the pay line L1 of the left reel 110, four types of Rep 7 to 9 and 11 shown in FIG. 5) The stop control of the middle reel 111 is performed so that the symbol (blue 7 symbol or bell symbol) corresponding to the middle reel 111 in any of the symbol combinations in (1) is displayed on the pay line L1.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 5, the symbol corresponding to the middle reel 111 of the two types of symbol combinations of Rep 3 and 4 corresponding to the replay role 2 is the blue 7 symbol or the replay symbol, and the replay role is The symbol corresponding to the middle reel 111 among the four symbol combinations of Reps 7 to 9 and 11 corresponding to 4 is a blue 7 symbol or a bell symbol. Among the three types of symbols, the number of symbol combinations that can be stopped and displayed on the pay line L1 is the largest number of blue 7 symbols, so when the above-mentioned symbol combination preferential stop control is performed, The stop control of the middle reel 111 is performed so that the blue 7 symbol is displayed on the pay line L1.

  Here, since the number of payouts of "replay combination 2 + 4" is 0, the symbol combination priority stop control is performed without performing the number-of-payouts priority stop control, and the second stop reel is set to the middle reel 111. When the operation (stop operation by the middle stop button 138) is performed and the blue 7 symbol is in the pull-in range, the blue 7 symbol is displayed on the pay line L1, as shown in FIG. 39 (b) As described above, the stop control of the middle reel 111 is performed, and the blue 7 pattern is tempered.

  Further, in the processing at the time of receiving the second stop button operation command described with reference to FIG. 34, the first sub-control unit 400 displays the blue 7 symbol on tempering, and the first stop operation and the second stop operation are correct It determines that there is, and makes a reservation of the tempai effect according to the type lottery of the tempai. As a result, one stop sound selected by lottery from the normal tempy sound and the plurality of types of special tempy sounds is output from the speakers 272 and 277. When the special stop sound is selected in the type lottery of stop sound effect in the first stop button operation command acceptance process, the special temper sound is easily selected.

  On the other hand, when the blue 7 symbol is not in the pull-in range, as shown in FIG. 39 (e), the symbol (bell symbol) corresponding to the middle reel 111 in the symbol combination of Rep11 corresponding to the replay player 4 Is displayed on the pay line L1, and the symbol (replay symbol) corresponding to the middle reel 111 in the predetermined symbol combination (in this example, "replay symbol-replay symbol-replay symbol") is the symbol display window 113. The stop control of the middle reel 111 is performed so as to be displayed on the upper level horizontal line (effect line) of.

<In case of correct operation order / 1st stop = left → 2nd stop = middle → 3rd stop = right>
Subsequently, when the third stop operation (the stop operation by the right stop button 139) is performed to set the third stop reel to the right reel 112, the symbol combination corresponding to the replay role 2 (here, the left reel 110 and Since the blue 7 symbol is stopped on the pay line L1 of the middle reel 111, the symbol (replay symbol) corresponding to the right reel 112 of one kind of symbol combination of Rep3 shown in FIG. The symbol combination corresponding to the game combination 4 (in this case, since the blue 7 symbol is stopped on the pay line L1 of the left reel 110 and the middle reel 111, two symbol combinations of Rep 7 and 8 shown in FIG. 5) The stop control of the right reel 112 is performed so that the symbol (blue 7 symbol or watermelon symbol) corresponding to the right reel 112 of any of the above is displayed on the pay line L1.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 5, the symbol corresponding to the right reel 112 in one kind of symbol combination of Rep 3 corresponding to Replay 2 is a replay symbol, and Rep 7 corresponding to Replay 4 The symbol corresponding to the right reel 112 of the two types of symbol combinations of eight is a blue 7 symbol or a watermelon symbol. Since these three types of symbols have the same number of symbol combinations that can be stopped and displayed on the pay line L1, the above-described symbol combination priority stop control is not performed, and the replay symbol, the blue 7 symbol, or the watermelon is The stop control of the right reel 112 is performed such that any one of the symbols is displayed on the pay line L1.

  Here, in the case where the third stop operation (stop operation by the right stop button 139) in which the third stop reel is the right reel 112 is performed and the blue 7 symbol is in the pull-in range, as shown in FIG. As shown, the stop control of the right reel 112 is performed such that the blue 7 symbol is displayed on the pay line L1.

  On the other hand, when the blue 7 symbol is not in the pull-in range, as shown in FIG. 39 (d), the symbol (watermelon symbol) corresponding to the right reel 112 in the symbol combination of Rep 8 corresponding to the replay player 4 Is controlled to be displayed on the pay line L1.

  Further, after the second stop operation in which the second stop reel shown in FIG. 39 (e) is the middle reel 111, there is a third stop operation (stop operation by the right stop button 139) in which the third stop reel is the right reel 112. In the case where it is determined, as shown in FIG. 39 (f), the symbol (bell symbol) corresponding to the right reel 112 in the symbol combination of Rep11 corresponding to the remake 4 is displayed on the pay line L1. Also, a symbol (replay symbol) corresponding to the right reel 112 in a predetermined symbol combination (in this example, "replay symbol-replay symbol-replay symbol") is on the upper horizontal line (rendering line) of the symbol display window 113. Stop control of the right reel 112 is performed so as to be displayed.

  As described above, when the stop operation is performed in the operation order and the operation timing shown in FIG. 39 (a) → FIG. 39 (b) → FIG. (Blue 7 symbol-Blue 7 symbol-Blue 7 symbol) is displayed on the pay line L1, and replay is awarded. Further, when the stop operation is performed in the operation order and the operation timing shown in FIG. 39 (a) → FIG. 39 (b) → FIG. 39 (d), symbol combinations (blue 7 symbols-blue 7 symbols-watermelon symbols) are displayed on the pay line L1, and re-playing is awarded. Further, when the stop operation is performed in the operation sequence and operation timing shown in FIG. 39 (a) → FIG. (E) → FIG. (F), the symbol combination (blue) is performed by the reel stop processing. 7 symbols-bell symbols-bell symbols) are displayed on pay line L1, and re-playing is awarded.

<In case of incorrect operation order>
FIG. 40 is a diagram showing an example of the reel stop control in time series when the stop operation is performed according to the incorrect operation order other than the correct operation order after internally winning the “replay combination 2 + 4” which is the push order replay. It is. Here, the case is described where the reel stop data TD7 is selected by the stop data distribution lottery, and the correct operation order is the first stop operation in which the first stop reel is the left reel 110. Here, although the case where the operation order is middle right and left will be described, the same reel stop control is also performed because the incorrect operation order is also in the case where the operation order is right middle left, middle left and right, or middle right right left. Can be applied.

<In case of incorrect operation order / 1st stop = right>
For example, when the first stop operation (stop operation by the right stop button 139) is performed to set the first stop reel to the right reel 112, the symbol combination corresponding to the replay role 2 (Rep 2 to 5 shown in FIG. 5) The symbol (bell symbol, replay symbol, or blue 7 symbol) corresponding to the right reel 112 of any of the four symbol combinations) or the symbol combination (rep 7 shown in FIG. 5) corresponding to the replay role 4 Right reel 112 is displayed such that a symbol (one of blue 7 symbol, watermelon symbol, or bell symbol) corresponding to right reel 112 of any of the eight types of symbol combinations of 14) is displayed on pay line L1. Stop control is performed.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 5, the symbol corresponding to the right reel 112 of the four symbol combinations of Reps 2 to 5 corresponding to the replay role 2 is a bell symbol, a replay symbol, or a blue 7 symbol. There is a symbol corresponding to the right reel 112 among the eight symbol combinations of Reps 7 to 14 corresponding to the replay part 4 is a blue symbol 7, a watermelon symbol or a bell symbol. Among the four types of symbols, the number of symbol combinations that can be stopped and displayed on the pay line L1 is the largest number of blue 7 symbols, so when the above-mentioned symbol combination preferential stop control is performed, Stop control of the right reel 112 is performed such that the blue 7 symbol is displayed on the pay line L1.

  Here, since the number of payouts of “replay combination 2 + 4” is 0, symbol combination priority stop control is performed without performing the number-of-payouts priority stop control, and the first stop with the first stop reel being the right reel 112 When an operation (stop operation by the right stop button 139) is performed, stop control of the right reel 112 is performed so that the blue 7 symbol is displayed on the pay line L1, as shown in FIG. 40 (a). .

  Further, in the first stop button operation command reception process described with reference to FIG. 33, the first sub control unit 400 determines that the 7 symbols are stopped and the first stop operation is an incorrect answer, Make a reservation for the stop sound. Thus, the normal stop sound is output from the speakers 272 and 277.

<In the case of incorrect operation order / 1st stop = right → 2nd stop = left>
Next, when the second stop operation (stop operation by the left stop button 137) is performed to set the second stop reel to the left reel 110, the symbol combination corresponding to the replay role 2 (here, the right reel 112 is selected. Since the blue 7 symbol is stopped on the pay line L1, the symbol (blue 7 symbol or replay) corresponding to the left reel 110 of any of the two symbol combinations of Rep 4 and 5 shown in FIG. 5) Or the symbol combination corresponding to the replay part 4 (here, since the blue 7 symbol is stopped on the pay line L1 of the right reel 112, the Rep 7, 9, 10, 13 shown in FIG. 5) Stop control of the left reel 110 so that the symbol (7 blue symbols, bell symbol, or replay symbol) corresponding to the left reel 110 of any of the 4 types of symbol combinations is displayed on the pay line L1 Divide.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 5, the symbol corresponding to the left reel 110 of the two symbol combinations of Rep 4 and 5 corresponding to Replay 2 is the blue 7 symbol or the Replay symbol, and the Replay combination The symbol corresponding to the left reel 110 among the four symbol combinations of Rep7, 9, 10, 13 corresponding to 4 is a blue 7 symbol, a bell symbol, or a replay symbol. Among the three types of symbols, the number of symbol combinations that can be stopped and displayed on the pay line L1 is the largest number of blue 7 symbols, so when the above-mentioned symbol combination preferential stop control is performed, Stop control of the left reel 110 is performed such that the blue 7 symbol is displayed on the pay line L1.

  Here, since the number of payouts of “replay role 2 + 4” is 0, the symbol combination priority stop control is performed without performing the number-of-payouts priority stop control, and the second stop reel is set to the left reel 110. When the operation (stop operation by the left stop button 137) is performed and the blue 7 symbol is in the pull-in range, the blue 7 symbol is displayed on the pay line L1, as shown in FIG. 40 (b) As described above, the stop control of the left reel 110 is performed, and the blue 7 pattern is tempered.

  Further, in the processing when the second stop button operation command is received described with FIG. 34, the first sub-control unit 400 displays the blue 7 symbol on tempering, and the first stop operation and the second stop operation are incorrect. It determines that it is and makes a reservation of a tempai production normally. As a result, the normal sound is output from the speakers 272 and 277.

  On the other hand, when the blue 7 symbol is not in the pull-in range, as shown in FIG. 40 (d), the symbol (replay symbol) corresponding to the left reel 110 in the symbol combination of Rep13 corresponding to the replay player 4 Is controlled to be displayed on the pay line L1.

<In the case of incorrect operation order / first stop = right → second stop = left → third stop = medium>
Subsequently, after the second stop operation in which the second stop reel shown in FIG. 40B is the left reel 110, the third stop operation in which the third stop reel is the middle reel 111 (stop operation by the middle stop button 138) If it is removed, the symbol combination corresponding to the second game player 2 (here, since the blue 7 symbol is stopped on the pay line L1 of the left reel 110 and the right reel 112, Rep 4 shown in FIG. 5) The symbol combination (replay symbol) corresponding to the middle reel 111 of one kind of symbol combination) or the symbol combination corresponding to the replay role 4 (here, the blue on the pay line L1 of the left reel 110 and the right reel 112) 7 Because the symbols have stopped, the symbol (the blue 7 symbol or the bell symbol) corresponding to the middle reel 111 among the two types of symbol combinations of Rep 7 and 9 shown in FIG. Stop control of the reel 111 is made to appear on the prize line L1.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 5, the symbol corresponding to the middle reel 111 in one kind of symbol combination of Rep 4 corresponding to Replay 2 is a replay symbol, and Rep 7 corresponding to Replay 4 The symbol corresponding to the middle reel 111 in the two types of symbol combinations of nine is a blue 7 symbol or a bell symbol. Since these three types of symbols have the same number of symbol combinations that can be stopped and displayed on the pay line L1, the above-mentioned symbol combination priority stop control is not performed, and the first stop in the incorrect push order. Since the operation is performed, the stop control of the middle reel 111 is performed such that any one of the replay symbol or the bell symbol (in this example, the replay symbol) is displayed on the pay line L1.

  On the other hand, after the second stop operation in which the second stop reel shown in FIG. 40D is the left reel 110, the third stop operation in which the third stop reel is the middle reel 111 (stop operation by the middle stop button 138) In the case of being displayed, as shown in FIG. 40 (e), the symbol (bell symbol) corresponding to the middle reel 111 in the symbol combination of Rep 13 corresponding to the remake 4 is displayed on the pay line L1. Thus, the stop control of the middle reel 111 is performed.

  As described above, when the stop operation is performed in the operation order and the operation timing shown in FIG. 40 (a) → FIG. 40 (b) → FIG. (Blue 7 symbol-Replay symbol-Blue 7 symbol) is displayed on the pay line L1, and replay is awarded. Further, when the stop operation is performed in the operation order and the operation timing shown in FIG. 40 (a) → FIG. 40 (d) → FIG. A symbol-a bell symbol-a blue 7 symbol) is displayed on the pay line L1 and a re-play is awarded.

<Example of transition of RT and mode>
Next, with reference to FIG. 41, a transition example of the gaming state (RT) of the RT system and the gaming state (mode) of the AT system will be described. FIG. 41 is a diagram showing an example of transition of RT and mode.

<Example of transition of RT and mode / Normal mode>
The gaming state prior to the timing indicated by the symbol a in FIG. 41 is the gaming state in which the mode is set to the normal mode and RT is set to RT3 (replay low probability 2 state). As described above, RT3 (replay low probability 2 state) is internally won by "replay combination 1 + 2" which is a push order replay, and when the stop operation is performed according to the correct operation order determined by lottery, In the gaming state, a symbol combination corresponding to the game combination 2 (transition replay 1) is displayed on the pay line L1, and RT shifts (promotions) to RT4 (replay high probability 1 state).

  However, in RT3 (replay low probability 2 state) in the normal mode, it is determined that the AT flag is off in the RT3 pressing order flag setting process described using FIG. 18, and the correct pressing order flag is set on. Therefore, there is no case that the pushing order effect indicating the correct operation order is executed. Therefore, the transition (promotion) from RT3 (replay low probability 2 state) to RT4 (replay high probability 1 state) in the normal mode occurs when the stop operation according to the correct operation sequence is performed by chance For example, the timing indicated by symbol a in FIG. 41 is applicable.

  Subsequently, in the gaming state from the timing shown by the symbol a to the timing shown by the symbol b in FIG. 41, the mode is set to the normal mode and RT is set to RT4 (replay high probability 1 state) is there. As described above, RT4 (replay high probability 1 state) is internally won by "replay player 2 + 3" which is a push order replay, and when the stop operation is performed according to the correct operation order determined by lottery, In the gaming state, a symbol combination corresponding to the game combination 3 (transition replay 2) is displayed on the pay line L1, and RT is shifted (promoted) to RT5 (replay high probability 2 state).

  However, in RT4 (replay high probability 1 state) in the normal mode, it is determined that the AT flag is off in the RT4 pressing order flag setting process described using FIG. 19, and the correct pressing order flag is set on. Therefore, there is no case that the pushing order effect indicating the correct operation order is executed. Therefore, the transition (promotion) from RT4 (replay high probability 1 state) to RT5 (replay high probability 2 state) in the normal mode is when the stop operation according to the correct operation order is performed by chance For example, the timing indicated by symbol b in FIG.

  Subsequently, in the gaming state from the timing indicated by symbol b to the timing indicated by symbol c in FIG. 41, the mode is set to the normal mode, and RT is set to RT5 (replay high probability 2 state). is there. As described above, RT5 (replay high probability 2 state) is internally won by "replay player 2 + 4" which is a push order replay, and when the stop operation is performed according to the correct operation order determined by lottery, While the symbol combination corresponding to the gaming combination 4 (transition replay 3) is displayed on the pay line L1, and the RT is shifted (promoted) to RT6 (replay high probability 3 state), the symbol combination corresponding to the spilled eye is When displayed on the pay line L1, it is a gaming state in which it shifts (degrades) to RT3 (replay low probability 2 state). In the timing indicated by symbol c in FIG. 41, a symbol combination corresponding to a spilled eye is displayed on pay line L1, and RT shifts from RT 6 (replay high probability 3 state) to RT 3 (replay low probability 2 state) ( Demotion is shown.

  As described above, the timing shown by symbol a to the timing shown by symbol a in FIG. 41 is RT4 (replay high probability 1 state) or RT5 (except when the stop operation according to the correct operation sequence is performed by chance) It is a period (waiting for fall) in which there is a high possibility of transition (demotion) from RT3 (reproduction high probability 2 state) to RT3 (replay low probability 2 state).

<Example of transition of RT and mode / AT mode>
The gaming state from the timing indicated by the symbol d to the timing indicated by the symbol h in FIG. 41 is a gaming state in which the mode is set to the AT mode.

  In the AT mode according to the present embodiment, at the timing indicated by the symbol d, RT transitions (rewards) from RT3 (replay low probability 2 state) to RT4 (replay high probability 1 state), and at the timing indicated by symbol e, RT shifts (promotions) from RT4 (replay high probability 1 state) to RT5 (replay high probability 2 state), and at the timing indicated by symbol f, RT from RT5 (replay high probability 2 state) to RT6 (replay It has been transitioned (promotion) to gaming high probability 3 state). In RT3 (replay low probability 2 state) to RT5 (replay high probability 2 state) in the AT mode, the AT flag is on in the RT3 to RT5 push order flag setting process described using FIGS. 18 to 20. Since it is determined that the correct pressing order flag is set to ON, the pressing order effect indicating the correct operation order is executed. Therefore, the player can shift (promote) the RT by performing the stop operation according to the correct operation order suggested by the push order effect.

  In addition, as described above, RT6 (replay high probability 3 state) is internally elected to the press replay "replay role 2 + 4", and the stop operation is performed according to the incorrect operation order other than the correct operation order determined by the lottery. In the case of being played, the symbol combination corresponding to the replay role 2 (transition replay 1) is displayed on the pay line L1, and the gaming state is transitioned (demotion) to RT4 (replay high probability 1 state) is there. As for the timing shown with the symbol g in FIG. 41, a symbol combination corresponding to replay player 2 (transition replay 1) is displayed on the pay line L1, and RT is from RT6 (replay probability 3 state) to RT4 (replay high). It shows a state of transition (demotion) to probability 1 state).

<Example of transition of RT and mode / AT mode → Normal mode>
The timing indicated by reference h in FIG. 41 indicates that RT4 (replay high probability 1 state) set during AT mode continues while the mode is changed from AT mode to normal mode. There is.

  As described above, RT4 (replay high probability 1 state) is internally won by "replay player 2 + 3" which is a push order replay, and when the stop operation is performed according to the correct operation order determined by lottery, A symbol combination corresponding to gaming role 3 (transition replay 2) is displayed on payline L1, and RT is shifted (reprorated) to RT 5 (replay high probability 2 state), while a symbol combination corresponding to a spilled eye is When displayed on the pay line L1, it is a gaming state in which it shifts (degrades) to RT3 (replay low probability 2 state). In the timing shown by the symbol i in FIG. 41, the symbol combination corresponding to the spilled eye is displayed on the pay line L1, and RT shifts from RT4 (replay high probability 1 state) to RT3 (replay low probability 2 state) ( Demotion is shown.

  As described above, the timing shown by the symbol h from the timing shown by the symbol h in FIG. 41 is from RT4 (replay high probability 1 state) to RT3 (except when the stop operation according to the correct operation sequence is performed accidentally). It is a period (waiting for fall) in which there is a high possibility of transition (demotion) to re-play low probability 2 state).

<Press order effect>
Next, with reference to FIG. 42 to FIG. 45, the pushing order effect by the slot machine 100 according to the present embodiment will be described by taking a specific example. FIG. 42 is a time chart showing an example of display mode and display timing of push order effect in the AT mode, and FIG. 43 is a time chart showing an example of display mode and display timing of push order effect in the normal mode. is there.

<Press order effect / instruction monitor>
First, pushing order navigation by the instruction monitor (disbursed number display 127) will be described. As described above, the main control unit 300 causes the internal winning combination and the stop data corresponding to the correct push order flag (or incorrect push order flag) set to ON in the instruction monitor display process described with reference to FIG. 7 segment data is selected based on and the selected 7 segment data is set as lighting pattern data of the instruction monitor. Thus, the instruction monitor receives the start operation by the start lever 135 in the medal insertion / start operation reception process (step S102) of the main control main process, and then executes the internal winning combination lottery process (step S103). , A display mode corresponding to 7-segment data SEG1 to SEG3 (7-segment display indicating 1 stop) indicating the first stop operation shown in FIG. 12 (a), or the correct operation order shown in FIG. 12 (b) It is lighted in a display mode corresponding to the suggested 7-segment data SEG4 to SEG9 (promotion or 7 alignment instructions).

  However, in the RT6 push order flag setting process described with reference to FIG. 21, when the player is internally elected to replay player combination 2 + 4 and the AT set addition CZ flag is on, the correct push order or the wrong solution push order flag is turned on. In the instruction monitor display process, the instruction monitor display control (step S902) is not executed, and the instruction monitor remains undisplayed. On the other hand, even if the internally-replayed winning combination 2 + 4 is made and the AT set addition CZ flag is on, the push order navigation in the AT mode by the liquid crystal display device 157 described later is displayed.

  The timing to start the display of the instruction monitor is not limited to this example. For example, the timing at which the rotation of all the reels 110 to 112 is started in the reel rotation start process (step S105) of the main control unit main process (Timing described as “reel rotation start” in FIG. 42 and FIG. 43) may be used.

<Press order effect / Liquid crystal display device / Press order effect in AT mode>
Next, the pushing order effect in the AT mode by the liquid crystal display device 157 will be described.

  In the internal lottery command reception process described with reference to FIG. 32, when there is internal winning information of push sequence replay, the first sub control unit 400 performs the second stop third stop distribution lottery during the AT mode. On the basis of the result, the reservation of the pushing order effect of the first to third stops is made. As a result, the liquid crystal display device 157 displays an image corresponding to the pushing order effect shown in the AT mode in FIG.

  Specifically, when the instruction monitor is turned on in the display mode (first stop = left) corresponding to 7 segment data SEG1, effect 1-2 (“123” display) or effect 1-3 (“132”) An image corresponding to 1) to 3) is sequentially displayed. When the instruction monitor is turned on in the display mode (first stop = middle) corresponding to 7-segment data SEG2, the effect 2-2 (“213” is displayed) or 2-3 (“312” is displayed) The corresponding image (pushing order navigation image from 1 stop to 3 stop) is displayed. When the instruction monitor is turned on in the display mode (first stop = right) corresponding to 7-segment data SEG3, the effect 3-2 (“231” is displayed) or the effect 3-3 (“321” is displayed) The corresponding image (pushing order navigation image from 1 stop to 3 stop) is displayed.

  Further, in the internal lottery command reception process described with reference to FIG. 32, when there is internal winning information of the pushing order small part, the first sub control unit 400 performs the pushing order effect of the first to third stops. Make a reservation. Thus, the liquid crystal display device 157 displays an image corresponding to the pressing order effect shown in FIG.

  Specifically, when the instruction monitor lights up in the display mode (the correct pressing order = left middle right) corresponding to the 7-segment data SEG4, the image (1 stop) corresponding to the presentation 1-2 (“123” display) When 1-3 push order navigation images are displayed and the instruction monitor is lit in the display mode (the correct press order = right and left) corresponding to the 7-segment data SEG5, effects 1-3 (“132” display) The images corresponding to (1 to 3 stop push order navigation images) are displayed. In addition, when the instruction monitor is turned on in the display mode corresponding to 7 segment data SEG6 (the correct pressing order = middle left and right), the image (1 stop to 3 stop) corresponding to effect 2-2 ("213" display) When the push order navigation image is displayed and the instruction monitor is lit in the display mode (correct push order = middle right / left) corresponding to the 7-segment data SEG7, an image corresponding to effect 2-3 (“312” display) (The push order navigation image of 1 stop to 3 stop) is displayed. In addition, when the instruction monitor is turned on in the display mode corresponding to the 7-segment data SEG8 (the correct pressing order = right middle), the image (1 stop to 3 stop) corresponding to the effect 3-2 (“231” display) When the push order navigation image is displayed and the instruction monitor is turned on in the display mode (correct push order = right middle left) corresponding to the 7-segment data SEG9, it corresponds to the effect 3-3 (“321” display) An image (push order navigation image of 1 stop to 3 stop) is displayed.

  FIG. 44 (a) is a diagram showing an example of a push order navigation image of 1 stop to 3 stops in the AT mode. In this example, in front of the image in AT mode (background image for AT mode) shown in FIG. The image which suggests that it is in the left and right is displayed.

  In addition, when the first stop operation is performed in a state where the push order navigation images of 1 stop to 3 stop are displayed, 2 cancels by stopping the navigation image corresponding to the first stop operation. The push order navigation image of 3 stop is displayed. FIG. 44 (b) is a diagram showing an example of a push order navigation image of 2 stop and 3 stop in the AT mode. In this example, in the state where the push order navi images of 1 stop to 3 stops shown in FIG. 44A are displayed, the first stop reel is left reel 110 according to the correct operation order (in this example, right and left). Since the first stop operation to be performed (stop operation by the left stop button 137) is performed, by deleting the navigation image (image including the numeral 1) corresponding to the first stop operation, 2 stop and 3 stop A push order navigation image (an image that suggests that the remaining correct operation order is in the right depending on the number and the display position) is displayed.

  In addition, when the second stop operation is performed in a state where the push order navigation images of the 2 stop and 3 stop are displayed, the navigation image corresponding to the second stop operation is erased to obtain 3 stop. A push order navigation image is displayed. FIG. 44C is a diagram showing an example of a three-stop push order navigation image in the AT mode. In this example, in the state where the pressing order navi images of 2 stops and 3 stops shown in FIG. 44 (b) are displayed, the second stop reel is the right reel 112 according to the correct operation order (in this example, right and left). Since the second stop operation (stop operation by the right stop button 139) is performed, the navigation image corresponding to the second stop operation (image including the numeral 2) is erased, and the pressing order of the three stop is performed. A navigation image (image suggesting that the remaining stop operation is in progress by the numbers and the display position) is displayed.

<Seven navigation in push order navigation / liquid crystal display device / AT mode>
Next, seven aiming navigation in the AT mode by the liquid crystal display device 157 will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the internal lottery command acceptance process described with reference to FIG. 32, the first sub-control unit 400 internally wins the replay player combination 2 + 4 during the RT5, and 7 when the AT set addition CZ flag is on. Make a reservation to do uniform navigation. Thus, for example, in the liquid crystal display device 157, as shown in FIG. 45 (a), a 7 aim navigation image (in this example, the first stop operation of the correct operation order is the left, and the symbol aimed at the left reel 110 is An image that includes a symbol and text saying "Aim for the blue 7 symbol from the left" that suggests that it is the blue 7 symbol, and a "1--" indication that the first stop operation of the correct operation sequence is the left And an image indicating that the AT set is superimposed and CZ ready (an image including the characters “under preparation”) is displayed.

<7 target navigation in push order navigation / liquid crystal display device / AT mode (push order challenge effect production)>
Next, with reference to FIG. 45 (b), seven-target navigation (pressing order challenge effect) in the AT mode by the liquid crystal display device 157 will be described.

  In the internal lottery command acceptance processing described with reference to FIG. 32, the first sub-control unit 400 is 7 when the internal winning of replay player combination 2 + 4 is made during RT6 and the AT set addition CZ flag is on. Make a reservation to perform aligned navigation. Thus, the liquid crystal display device 157 displays, for example, a 7-targeted notification image as shown in FIG. 45B (in this example, “blue that indicates that the symbol to be aimed at each of the reels 110 to 112 is the blue 7 symbol 7) The image including the symbol and the character “can win the design”, the image including the display of “???” concealing the correct operation order, and the image (“in CZ”) showing that the AT set is in the CZ state An image containing text is displayed.

<Press order effect / Liquid crystal display device / Normal mode>
Next, with reference to FIG. 43, the pushing order effect in the normal mode by the liquid crystal display device 157 will be described.

  In the internal lottery command reception process described with reference to FIG. 32, when there is internal winning information of push sequence replay, the first sub-control unit 400 performs the push sequence effect of only the first stop during the normal mode. Make a reservation. Thereby, the liquid crystal display device 157 displays an image corresponding to the pushing order effect shown in the normal mode in FIG.

  Specifically, when the instruction monitor lights up in the display mode (first stop = left) corresponding to 7-segment data SEG1, an image (1 stop) corresponding to effect 1-1 (“1-” display) The order navigation image of) is displayed. In addition, when the indication monitor is lit in the display mode (first stop = middle) corresponding to the 7-segment data SEG2, an image (one stop pressing order) corresponding to the effect 2-1 (“-1-” display) Navi image is displayed. In addition, when the indication monitor is lit in the display mode (first stop = right) corresponding to 7-segment data SEG3, an image (one stop pressing order) corresponding to effect 3-1 (“-−1” display) Navi image is displayed.

  FIG. 45C is a diagram showing an example of the push order navigation image of one stop in the normal mode. In this example, in the front of the normal mode medium image (normal mode background image) different from the AT mode medium image (background image for AT mode) shown in FIG. ) (An image indicating that the first stop operation is in progress by the numeral and the display position) is displayed.

  In the present embodiment, 7-set navigation or 7-aligned navigation is performed only in the AT mode, but such navigation or other navigation may be performed in the normal mode. .

<Display history of push order effects>
Next, with reference to FIG. 46, the history display of the pushing order effect presentation will be described. FIG. 46 is a diagram showing an example of history display of push order effect.

  In the first stop button operation command acceptance process described with reference to FIG. 33, the first sub control unit 400 determines whether or not the first stop operation is the correct pressing order, and also determines the result of the first stop operation. The second stop button operation described with reference to FIG. 34 is performed after processing of storing (left, middle, or right) and the history of the result of the push order determination (correct or incorrect) in the RAM 408 in chronological order In the command reception process, it is determined whether or not the second stop operation is the correct pressing order, and the result of the second stop operation (left, middle or right) and the result of the pressing order determination (correct or incorrect) ) Is stored in the RAM 408 in chronological order.

  Specifically, with reference to FIG. 46 (b), in the stop operation three times before and two times before, it is determined whether the first stop operation = the right is the correct pressing order and the first stop is performed. After processing of storing the result of operation and the result of push order judgment result (for example, first stop operation = left, push order = correct answer) in RAM 408 in chronological order, the second stop operation = right is correct push order And a process of storing the result of the second stop operation and the history of the result of the push order determination (for example, the second stop operation = right, push order = correct) in the RAM 408 in time series Thus, the information on the first stop operation = left, the second stop operation = right, the third stop operation = medium, the push order = correct is stored in the RAM 408.

  In addition, in the previous stop operation, it is determined whether or not the first stop operation = right is the correct pressing order, and the history of the result of the first stop operation and the result of the pressing order determination (for example, the first After storing the stop operation = right, push order = correct) in time series in the RAM 408, it is determined whether the second stop operation = the correct push order in the middle and the result of the second stop operation The first stop operation = right, the second stop operation = medium by performing processing of storing the history of the result of push order determination (for example, second stop operation = medium, push order = correct) in time series in the RAM 408 , Third stop operation = left, push order = correct information is stored in the RAM 408.

  In addition, in the effect control process described with reference to FIG. 30, the first sub-control unit 400 determines whether the operation by the effect button 156 has been received during the display of the 7 aim navigation image as shown in FIG. When the operation is received, the result of the stop operation stored in the RAM 408 and the result of the pressing order determination are acquired, and processing such as displaying using the liquid crystal display device 157 is performed.

  Specifically explaining with reference to FIG. 46 (b), with regard to the stop operation three times before, information of the history of the result of the stop operation and the result of push order determination from the RAM 408 (first stop operation = left, second stop Operation = right, third stop operation = middle, push order = correct answer) is acquired, for example, the history display "3 times ago, 1-3-2" is displayed, and the same processing is performed for the second stop operation. I do. Moreover, about the stop operation of 1 time before, the information of the history of the result of the stop operation and the result of the push order determination from the RAM 408 (first stop operation = right, second stop operation = medium, third stop operation = left, push For example, the history display of “1 time ago, 3-2-1” is performed.

<Modification>
The configuration of the gaming machine according to the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the slot machine 100 according to the above embodiment. For example, in the above embodiment, the main control unit 300 transmits the information of the actual operation reel number and the correct reel number to the first sub control unit 400 without performing the pressing order correctness determination process, and the first sub control unit 400 Although an example in which the control unit 400 performs the pressing order correctness determination process has been described, another control unit (for example, the main control unit 300) may perform the pressing order correctness determination process.

  FIG. 47 is a modification of the stop button operation command transmission request process of the main control unit 300 described with reference to FIG. In the stop button operation command transmission request process according to the modification, the pressing order correctness determination process of step S3004 is added.

  In step S3004 of the push order determination process according to the modification, by comparing the actual operation reel number and the correct reel number every time the stop operation is received in the reel stop process, whether or not the stop operation is the correct press order A pressing order correctness determination process is performed. In the next step S1404, the stop button operation command transmission request process is ended after the transmission request of the stop button operation command including the result of the pressing order correctness determination process in step S3004 is made.

  The stop button operation command according to this example is a continuous transmission command for continuously transmitting the first command data 1 of 2 byte length and the second command data of 2 byte length. The upper byte of the first command data is a fixed value (for example, 15H) indicating a command code. The lower 2 bits b0 to b1 of the lower byte is information indicating the number (actual operation reel number) of the reel (turning drum) on which the stop operation is actually performed. Here, the information indicating the actual operation reel number is a numerical value indicating the left reel 110 (for example, 01 B (B is a binary number; the same shall apply hereinafter)) when the left reel 110 is stopped. When the stop operation of the reel 111 is performed, it is a numerical value (for example, 10B) indicating the middle reel 111, and when the stop operation of the right reel 112 is performed, a numerical value (for example, 11B). The other 6 bits b2 to b7 of the lower byte are stop button acceptance symbol positions that indicate the symbol position at the time of acceptance of the stop button determined based on the reel rotation control processing in the latest main control unit timer interrupt processing It is information.

  Also, the upper byte of the second command data is a fixed value (for example, 16H) indicating a command code, and the lower 6 bits b0 to b5 of the lower byte are reel rotation control processing in the latest main control unit timer interrupt processing Is information of a stop symbol position indicating a symbol position at the time of stopping the reel determined on the basis of the other two bits b6 to b7 of the lower byte is data indicating pressing order correctness information. Here, the data indicating push order correctness information is information indicating a correct answer (for example, 11B (B is a binary number; the same applies hereinafter)) when the first stop operation and the second stop operation are correct. Information indicating an incorrect answer (for example, 01B) if one of the first stop operation and the second stop operation is an incorrect answer, and information indicating that (for example, 01B) if the push order correctness information is not included (for example, , 00 B).

  Also, FIG. 48 is a modification of the first stop button operation command acceptance process of the first sub control unit 400 described with reference to FIG. 33, and FIG. 49 is a modification of the first process described with reference to FIG. FIG. 18 is a modification of the second stop button operation command reception process of the sub control unit 400. FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 33 and 48, in the first stop button operation command acceptance process according to the modification, the process of step S3102 is applied instead of the pressing order correctness determination process (step S2302) shown in FIG. There is. In this step S3102, based on the command data of the first stop button operation command (actual operation reel number, stop button acceptance symbol position, stop symbol position, pushing order correctness information), the pushing order correctness information at the time of the first stopping operation Make an update.

  Also, as shown in FIGS. 34 and 49, in the second stop button operation command acceptance process according to the modification, the process of step S3202 is applied instead of the pressing order correctness determination process (step S2402) shown in FIG. doing. In this step S3202, based on the command data of the second stop button operation command (actual operation reel number, stop button acceptance symbol position, stop symbol position, pushing order correctness information), the pushing order correctness information at the time of the first stopping operation is Make an update. Here, based on the pressing order correctness information at the time of the first stopping operation and the second stopping operation, it is determined whether the stopping operation is the correct pressing order or not, and the results of the first to third stopping operations A history of the results of the pressing order determination is stored in the RAM 408 in chronological order.

  In this example, the main control unit 300 transmits pressing order correctness information each time the main control unit 300 receives a stop operation, and the first sub control unit 400 updates the pressing order correctness information every stop operation. Staged production can be performed. The present invention is not limited to this. For example, the main control unit 300 transmits push order correctness information only when the second stop operation is performed, and the first sub control unit 400 transmits the push order correctness information only when the second stop operation is performed. May be configured to perform an update of With such a configuration, it is possible to reduce the information to be transmitted from the main control unit 300 to the first sub control unit 400, and it is possible to reduce the control burden, and to further prevent the act of illegally acquiring the information. can do.

It is a means to transmit the information which can specify said 1st stop operation to said 2nd control means before reception (for example, immediately after reception of start lever 135), and said display control means is said 1st game Information indicating the first stop operation based on the information that can specify the first stop operation transmitted by the information transmission unit before reception of all the stop operations in step (e.g., 7 alignment avoidance navigation) Display on the display means The information transmission means is a second gaming state (for example, a normal mode) different from the first gaming state in the second game in which the first lottery result is determined. Information that can specify the correctness of the stop operation after receiving at least a part of the stop operation in the second game (for example, (1) information indicating the correct operation order ((1-1) different embodiment Information (for example, all information of the first to third stop operation in the correct operation order at the start lever acceptance (example: left middle right) → information on the first stop operation in the correct operation order after the first stop operation (Example: left) → Information on the second stop operation in the correct operation order after the second stop operation (example: middle), (1-2) Information of the same mode (for example, the correct operation order in the start lever acceptance All information of the first to third stop operations (example: Middle right) → All information of the first to third stop operation after the second stop operation (example: left middle right)), (2) Information indicating correctness (correct, incorrect answer) of the stop operation ((2-1 ) Correct answer information for the first stop operation after the first stop operation or after the second stop operation if the correct operation order is 3 options, (2-2) if the correct operation order is 6 options, the first The correctness information only for the first stop operation after the stop operation → the correctness information only for the second stop operation after the second stop operation, the correctness information for the first stop operation and the second stop operation only after the second stop operation) The second control means receives at least a part of the stop operation in the second game (for example, after the first stop operation, after the second stop operation, or after the second stop operation) Prior to being transmitted by the information transmission means) Based on information that can specify the correctness of the stop operation, an effect related to the correctness of the stop operation (for example, an effect that indicates whether the first stop operation is correct or incorrect if it is after the first stop operation (for example, OK, GOOD, correct answer, display of characters and symbols such as ○, sound effects, sound background, background color and background image switching), and whether or not the second stop mode to which a benefit is given is displayed Expected degree effect (sound output of multiple types of sound according to the expected level, display of multiple types of colors and patterns according to the expected level, display of special characters), and after the second stop operation If an expectation degree effect (a low temperament sound at normal low sound and a high tenacity sound at special high sound) is received after the third stop operation, the seven sets of pressing history images shown in FIG. The game console, which is a means for controlling the display).

  According to the gaming machine of the first aspect of the present invention, in the second game, effects relating to the correctness of the stop operation can be performed based on the information that can specify the correctness of the stop operation transmitted by the information transmission means. It is possible to perform the rendering according to the correctness of the stop operation, and it is possible to increase the variation of the rendering. Further, since it is difficult to grasp the correct operation order even if the information transmitted from the information transmitting means is illegally acquired, it is possible to prevent the fraudulent acts and secure the security.

  Note that the information transmission means at least correct solution pressing order information (for example, correct solution reel number) indicating the correct solution pressing order of the stop operation after receiving at least a part of the stop operation in the second game; It is a means for transmitting stop operation information (for example, a real operation reel number correct reel number) indicating the stop operation received by the stop operation receiving means to the second control means, and the second control means is the correct answer. Stop operation determination means for determining whether the stop operation is correct or not based on the push order information and the stop operation information (for example, push order correctness determination process of the first stop button operation command reception process shown in FIG. 33; A pressing order correctness determination process of the second stop button operation command reception process shown) may be provided.

  With such a configuration, the second control means can determine whether the stop operation is correct or not, and the control burden on the first control means can be reduced. In addition, since it is not possible to determine the correctness of the stop operation unless both the correct pressing order information and the stop operation information are acquired, it is possible to prevent the fraudulent acts performed by illegally acquiring the information transmitted from the information transmitting means. Can be prevented.

  Further, when the information transmission means receives the first stop operation in the second game, the correct control pressing order information and the stop operation information at the time of the first stop operation are controlled by the second control. When it is transmitted to the means and the second stop operation is accepted in the second game, at least the correct pressing order information and the stop operation information at the time of the second stop operation are transmitted to the second control means (For example, (1-1) Transmit different types of information (for example, transmit all the information of the first to third stop operations in the correct operation order at the start lever reception (eg: left, middle, right → Send information on the first stop operation in the correct operation order after the first stop operation (example: left) → information on the second stop operation in the correct operation order (example: middle) after the second stop operation Transmission), (1-2) in the same manner Send information (for example, send all information of the 1st to 3rd stop operation in the correct operation order at the start lever acceptance (eg: left middle right) → 1st to 3rd stop operation after the 2nd stop operation (2) Send information indicating the correctness (correct, incorrect) of the stop operation ((2-1) If the correct operation order is 3 options, (1) Transmit correctness information for the first stop operation after the first stop operation or after the second stop operation; (2-2) if the correct operation order is 6 options, correct information for only the first stop operation after the first stop operation → Send correctness information only for the second stop operation after the second stop operation, send correctness information for the first stop operation and the second stop operation only after the second stop operation, and so on).

  With such a configuration, it is possible to perform various effects corresponding to the correctness of the stop operation for each stop operation, and to reduce the control load in the first control means. In addition, since it is not possible to judge whether the stop operation is correct or not unless both the correct pressing order information and the stop operation information are obtained for each stop operation, the fraud that is performed by illegally acquiring the information transmitted from the information transmission means An act can be prevented more reliably.

  In addition, the first lottery result is information (for example, internal winning information) which can specify that the internal winning is won for the reproducing role (for example, the reproducing 2 + 4) to which the reproducing is given, and the stop control means The stop mode corresponding to the replay role (for example, the replay role 2 or the replay role) is any stop operation including the first stop operation and the second stop operation. It may be a means capable of stopping the plurality of reels in such a manner that a symbol combination corresponding to 4) is obtained.

  With such a configuration, the gaming state (RT) is transitioned by the winning of the replay player, and the internal winning probability of the replay player is different depending on the gaming state (RT). Playability can be enhanced.

  Further, the stop control means is means capable of stopping the plurality of reels so as to be a third stop mode different from the first stop mode and the second stop mode. In the second stop mode, a predetermined symbol (for example, the blue 7 symbol shown in FIG. 4) is in the tempy state (for example, FIG. 39 (b, for example) in the symbol display window (for example, symbol display window 113 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2). Symbol pattern combination consisting only of the predetermined symbol after becoming the "blue 7 symbol-blue 7 symbol-(during rotation)" state shown in) (for example, "blue 7 symbol-blue 7" shown in FIG. 39 (c) In the stop mode in which the symbol combination of “symbol − blue 7 symbol” is displayed in a uniform manner, in the third stop mode, the predetermined symbol in the symbol display window is in a state of tempering (for example, FIG. 40 (b) In the state of "blue 7 design-(during rotation)-blue 7 design" shown in After stopping the symbol combination consisting only of the predetermined symbol is not displayed in a uniform manner (for example, symbol combination of "blue 7 symbol-replay symbol-blue 7 symbol" shown in FIG. 40 (c) is uniformly displayed) In the stop mode, the information transmission means is means for transmitting information capable of specifying whether the stop operation is correct or not to the second control means before accepting all the stop operations in the second game. If the plurality of reels are stopped in the second stop mode, the second control means may output a predetermined effect (for example, the sound of a normal tempy sound or a special tempy sound, etc., in the tempy state). In the case where the plurality of reels are stopped in the third stop mode, it may be a means which does not perform the predetermined effect in the temporary state.

  With such a configuration, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation for the final stop operation, and the player's willingness to play can be maintained from the start of the game to the final stop operation.

  The second control means may include correct answer push order information storage means (for example, the RAM 408 shown in FIG. 3) capable of storing correct push order information indicating the correct push order of the stop operation; As the effect relating to the above, it may be a means for controlling the history display of the correct pressing order (for example, the display of a seven-set pressing order history image shown in FIG.

  With such a configuration, the player can freely confirm the history of the correct answer pressing order in the past, and can provide a new way of playing on a game console provided with game characteristics that apply the correct answer pressing order. It can enhance the interest of the game.

Means for displaying on the second display means in a mode (for example, a push order navigation image of “1 stop” shown in FIG. 43 and FIG. 45 (c)), the first display control means The second game state being the state, the first In the second game in which the result is determined, the information indicating the first stop operation is displayed on the first display means in the first display mode, and the second display control means is In the second game, information indicating the first stop operation is shown in a third display mode different from the second display mode (for example, in FIG. 42 and FIGS. 44 (a) to (c) , “1 stop to 3 stop” push order navigation image → “2 stop and 3 stop” push order navigation image → “3 stop push order navigation image” to be displayed on the second display means The display period of the second display mode is set shorter than the display period of the third display mode, and the first display control means controls the second display control in the first game. Even if the means ends the display of the information indicating the first stop operation by the second display means, It is a game stand characterized by continuing display of the information which shows said 1st stop operation by a 1st display means.

  According to the gaming machine of the fourth aspect of the present invention, in the first game, the information indicating the first stop operation is displayed in the second display mode, while the first stop operation is displayed in the second game The information is displayed in the third display mode, and the display period of the second display mode is shorter than the display period of the third display mode, and the first stop operation by the second display means in the first game is Since the display of the information indicating the first stop operation by the first display means is continued even after the display of the information indicating the end, it is possible to distinguish whether it is a notification state in which the information related to the stop operation is notified. It is possible to prevent the player from being misunderstood or uncomfortable. Further, even after the display of the information indicating the first stop operation by the second display means is ended, the presence or absence of the generation of the order effect can be grasped by the first display means. Convenience can be enhanced.

  The first display control means is means for ending the display in the first display mode after receiving the final stop operation of the first stop operation in the second game, The second display control means may be means for ending the display in the third display mode after receiving the final stop operation of the first stop operation in the second game. .

  With such a configuration, the display period of the first display mode substitutes for the display period of the third display mode, so that in the first game, the display period of the first display mode and the second display It is possible to grasp the difference in the display period of the mode, and to easily distinguish whether it is a notification state in which information related to the stop operation is notified.
