Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachislot machine.

  Conventionally, when a player inserts game media such as medals and coins (hereinafter referred to as "insert operation") and the start lever is operated (hereinafter referred to as "start operation"), a plurality of symbols are displayed respectively. The rotation of the plurality of reels arranged on the surface of the surface starts, and when the stop button is operated (hereinafter referred to as "stop operation"), the rotation of the plurality of reels is stopped, and the combination of the symbols displayed as a result A so-called pachislot machine, which is provided with a benefit according to the situation, is known.

  In such a gaming machine, when the start operation is detected by the start switch, random numbers are extracted and lottery is performed (hereinafter, the result of the lottery is referred to as "internal winning combination") and drive control of the stepping motor is performed. When the stop operation is detected by the stop switch, the stepping motor is driven and controlled to stop the rotation of the plurality of reels based on the internal winning combination.

  In recent years, a gaming machine has been known that notifies the player of information advantageous to the player, such as information for establishing the internal winning combination, so as not to lose the role determined to the internal winning combination. There is. In addition, informing the information that the player is advantageous in this manner is generally referred to as navigation (performing navigation) or the like, and a period in which the navigation is performed is referred to as AT (assist time). According to the gaming machine equipped with such an AT function, since the number of gaming media to be paid out to the player is controlled by controlling whether or not to perform navigation, the player is required to continue the AT. It is hoped that the number of navi games will increase.

  Ingenuity to increase the number of AT games has been made from various viewpoints so far, for example, according to Patent Document 1, the correct reel is hit from among three reels during the game lock which has stopped the progress of the game. A gaming machine has been disclosed which performs a reel hit game and gives a larger number of AT games than the case where a player makes a correct answer and then goes off. Further, for example, Patent Document 2 discloses a gaming machine which gives the number of AT games when a specific combination such as watermelon or cherry is determined as an internal winning combination.

  However, in Patent Document 1, since the number of AT games is added during the game lock where the progress of the game is stopped, there is no relation between the combination of symbols displayed as a result of the game and the number of AT games added. It is felt that they are just doing a separate lottery that has nothing to do with the progression, and they lack interest. In addition, it is possible to make a decision that affects the profit to be granted, such as the addition of the number of AT games, apart from the original gameplay of the pachislot machine, which provides a profit according to the combination of symbols displayed as a result of gaming. And lack of aptitude as a pachislot machine, which may harm the fairness of the game.

  On the other hand, although it is possible to associate the AT game number increase with the result of the game by performing addition of the AT game number based on the internal winning combination as in Patent Document 2, the AT game number of Only by the addition, the game becomes monotonous, and new ideas are required.

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine capable of being added to an advantageous state rich in gaming characteristics while being associated with the result of the gaming.

  The gaming machine according to the present invention comprises a plurality of reels (reels 3L, 3C, 3R) on which a plurality of symbols are displayed, and a symbol display means (reel display window for displaying a part of the plurality of symbols displayed on the reels). 4) start operation detection means (start switch 79) for detecting a start operation by a player, and symbol fluctuation for changing the symbol by rotating the reel based on detection of the start operation by the start operation detection means Means (main CPU 93), based on detection of the start operation by the start operation detection means, a plurality of combinations including a first push order (F_normal lip purple 7) and a second push order (F_normal lip BAR) An internal winning combination determining means (main CPU 93) for determining an internal winning combination with a predetermined probability from among the above, and a stop operation provided corresponding to the plurality of reels, for stopping each reel Based on the stop operation detecting means (stop switches 80L, 80C, 80R) to be detected, the internal winning combination determined by the internal winning combination determining means, and the timing at which the stop operation is detected by the stop operation detecting means Based on reel stop control means (main CPU 93) for stopping fluctuation of the symbol displayed on the symbol display means by stopping rotation of the reel and that the fluctuation of the symbol is stopped by the reel stop control means If the first condition is established and the winning condition determining means (main CPU 93) for determining the winning or non-winning of the winning combination based on the combination of symbols stopped on the effective line provided in the symbol display means, The state is shifted to a specific effect state (ART state) in which information on an advantageous stop operation related to the provision of game media is notified. In the specific effect state transitioning means (sub CPU 102) and the specific effect state, the effect state is transferred to a special effect state (superimposed specialization state) for determining the number of continued games (number of AT games) in the specific effect state In the special effect state transitioning means (sub CPU 102) to be made, in the special effect state, a predetermined number of games is determined each time the second condition is satisfied, and based on the total number of total games obtained by adding all the predetermined numbers of games. And the number-of-continuous-games determination means (sub-CPU 102) for determining the number of consecutive games, and the special effect state is an expectation for the number of consecutive games to be determined by the number-of-continuous-games determination means Different first special effect state (superimposed specialization state 2a), second special effect state (superimposed specialization state 2b), and third special effect state (superimposed specialization state State 2c), and the special effect state transitioning means, when the first condition is satisfied, sets the first special effect state, the second special effect state, or the third special effect state as the special effect state. The effect state is shifted to any of the plurality of reels when the stop operation is performed in the first push order (the first stop operation “right”), and the first push order is effective in all of the plurality of reels. When the first symbol is stoppable on the line (purple 7 uniform) and the stop operation is performed in the second push order (first stop operation "middle"), one of the plurality of reels The second symbol can not be stopped on the effective line on the reel, and the second symbol can be stopped on the effective line on all the remaining reels (around the BAR) (F_normal lip purple 7) And the second push order is the first push order When a stop operation is performed, the first symbol can not be stopped on the effective line on one of the plurality of reels, and the first symbol is on the effective line on all the remaining reels. Of the second symbol can be stopped on the effective line in all of the plurality of reels when the stop operation is performed in the second pushing order (BAR 7). Match (F_normal lip BAR), and the second condition in the first special effect state is the first push order when the first push order is determined as the internal winning combination. The stop operation is performed, and the second condition in the second special effect state is the stop operation in the second pushing order when the second pushing order is determined as the internal winning combination. Is to be done The second condition in the third special effect state is that the stop operation is performed in the first pushing order when the first pushing order is determined as the internal winning combination, or The second push order is a stop operation in the second push order when the 2 push order is determined as the internal winning combination, and in the first special effect state, the first push order or the second press order is performed. When the pressing order is determined as the internal winning combination, the first pressing order is notified as information of the stop operation, and in the second special effect state, the first pressing order or the second pressing order is Is determined as the internal winning combination, the second pushing order is notified as information of the stop operation, and in the third special effect state, the first pushing order is determined as the internal winning combination , Informing the first push order as information on stop operation At the same time, when the second winning combination is determined as the internal winning combination, the second pressing order is notified as information of the stop operation.

  In the gaming machine according to the present invention, when the stop operation is performed in the first push order, the first symbol can be aligned on the effective line, and the stop operation is performed in the second push order. When the stop operation is performed in the first push order and the first push order that can be tempered without aligning the second symbol on the effective line, the first symbol does not align on the effective line And a second push order that allows the second symbol to be aligned on the active line when the stop operation is performed in the second push order. Then, in the special effect state (the first special effect state to the third special effect state), when the first push order or the second push order is determined as the internal winning combination in the special effect state (first special effect state to third special effect state), the first push order Or, notify one of the second push order. For example, when the first winning order is notified, when the internal winning combination is the first pressing order, the combination of the first symbols is displayed on the effective line, while the internal winning combination is the first. In the case of a two-push regular role, the first symbol will be tempered without the combination of the first symbol being displayed on the effective line. On the other hand, when notifying the second pushing order, when the internal winning combination is the first pushing order, the second symbol is displayed without displaying the combination of the second symbols on the effective line. While tempering, when the internal winning combination is the second push order, the combination of the second symbol will be displayed on the activated line.

  Thereby, in the gaming machine, the combination of the displayed symbols can be made different based on the relationship between the result of the internal lottery and the order of the stop operation (pushing order). For example, the stop operation is When done, certain symbols will be aligned depending on the internal winning combination, and specific symbols will be tempered depending on the internal winning combination.

  In the gaming machine according to the present invention, the first special effect state is determined as a special effect state for determining the number of continuing games in a specific effect state (AT or ART) informing information of an advantageous stop operation related to the application of game media. The second special effect state and the third special effect state are included. Then, in the first special effect state, when the first push order is determined as the internal winning combination, the gaming machine is stopped in the first push order (that is, the first symbol is stopped in alignment) Operation is added and the number of continuation games is added, and in the second special effect state, when the second push order is determined as the internal winning combination, the stop operation is performed in the second push order (that is, , And the second game will be the same stop operation) and the addition of the number of continuing games. In addition, in the third special effect state, when the conditions of both the first special effect state and the third special effect state are satisfied, (that is, the stop operation in which the first symbol is aligned, or the second The stop operation in which the symbol of is aligned is performed) addition of the number of continuation games is performed.

  The gaming machine according to the present invention notifies the first pushing order in the first special effect state when the first pushing order or the second pushing order is decided as the internal winning combination, and the second special action is performed. In the state, the second pushing order is notified. By performing the stop operation according to the notification, in the first special effect state, whether the first symbol is aligned on the activated line (first pressed order) or the first symbol is tempted (second pressed order) When the first symbols are aligned (ie, in the case of the first push order), addition of the number of continuous games is performed. Similarly, by performing the stop operation in accordance with the notification, in the second special effect state, whether the second symbol is aligned on the activated line (second push order) or the second symbol tempers (first If the second symbol is aligned (that is, if it is the first push order), the addition of the number of continuous games is performed.

  On the other hand, in the third special effect state, when the first pushing order is determined as the internal winning combination, the first pushing order is notified and the second pushing order is determined as the internal winning combination The second push order is informed to Thereby, in the third special effect state, when the first pushing order or the second pushing order is decided as the internal winning combination by performing the stop operation according to the notification, the first symbol or the first on the effective line The symbols of 2 are always aligned, and as a result, addition of the number of continuous games is performed both in the case where the first push order or the second push order is determined as the internal winning combination.

  As described above, in the first special effect state and the second special effect state, the push order to be notified is associated with the symbol to be displayed, and the game result (internal winning combination) and the additional (continuation) Since the relationship with the addition of the number of games is close, it is possible to satisfy the aptitude as a game machine and secure the fairness of the game. In addition, in the first special effect state and the second special effect state, the player wants a win because the pushing order in which the combination of symbols on one side is aligned becomes the pushing order in which the other is not aligned (temporarily) on the other. The object becomes true in the current special rendition state. As a result, the player is more interested in the current special rendering state and the outcome of the game, and the interest of the game can be further improved.

  Moreover, in addition to such a 1st special production state and a 2nd special production state, by having a 3rd special production state, the pushing order and the like which becomes off in the 1st special production state (the symbols are not even) Also, even in the case where a pushing order that is off in the second special effect state (the symbols are not aligned) is determined as an internal winning combination, it is possible to have an expectation of an additional. As a result, according to the gaming machine according to the present invention, it is possible to perform the addition of an advantageous state rich in gaming characteristics while associating it with the result of the gaming.

  In the gaming machine according to the present invention, in the third special effect state, either the first pushing order or the second pushing order is selected when the first pushing order is determined as the internal winning combination. Is notified as the information of the stop operation with a predetermined probability, and when the second pressing order is determined as the internal winning combination, either the first pressing order or the second pressing order is determined. It reports as information of stop operation by probability of.

  As described above, in the third special effect state, instead of always informing the pressing order (the pressing order of the correct answer) that the symbols will be aligned, it may be notified in a probabilistic manner. In the state, the player has a strong interest in the type of push order to be notified and the result of the game (internal winning combination), and the interest of the game can be further improved.

  In the gaming machine according to the present invention, the special effect state transitioning means causes the effect state to transition to the special effect state prior to the start of the specific effect state, and the third condition is satisfied in the specific effect state. Then, the rendering state is shifted to the special rendering state.

  As described above, by shifting to the special effect state both at the start of the specific effect state and during the specific effect state, the game property is enhanced in both the initial game number determination at the start and the addition during the specific effect state. be able to.

  Further, in the gaming machine according to the present invention, the plurality of reels can be determined in the first push order to the plurality of combinations in which the internal winning combination determining means can determine the internal winning combination. The second symbol can not stop on the effective line on one of the reels, and the second symbol can stop on the effective line on all the remaining reels (around BAR) When the stop operation is performed in the second pushing order, the third pushing order (F_ normal ripple) in which the first symbol can be stopped on the effective line in all of the plurality of reels (F_ normal ripple) When the stop operation is performed in purple 7_A) and the first pushing order, the second symbol can be stopped on the effective line in all of the plurality of reels (BAR aligned), the second Stop operation by pressing order of When made, the first symbol can not be stopped on the effective line on one of the plurality of reels, and the first symbol is on the effective line on all the remaining reels. It further includes a stopable (purple 7 round) fourth pushing order (F_normal lip BAR_A), and the second condition in the first special effect state is that the first pushing order is the internal winning combination. If it is determined that the stop operation is performed in the first push order, or if the third push order is determined as the internal winning combination, the stop operation is performed in the second push order The second condition in the second special effect state is that the stop operation is performed in the second push order when the second push order is determined as the internal winning combination. Or the fourth push The stop operation is performed in the first push order when the internal winning combination is determined, and the second condition in the third special effect state is that the first push order is the internal win. When it is determined as the winning combination, the stop operation is performed in the first push order, and when the second push order is determined as the internal winning combination, the stop operation is performed in the second push order. To be made, if the third push order is determined to be the internal winning combination, the second push order may be made to stop operation, or the fourth push order may be made as the internal win combination When it is determined, the stop operation is performed in the first pushing order, and in the first special effect state, the first pushing order or the second pushing order is determined as the internal winning combination. And the first pressing order is stopped. , And when the third and fourth pressing combinations are determined as the internal winning combination, the second pressing sequence is notified as information on the stop operation, and the second special effect is produced. In the state, when the first pushing order or the second pushing order is determined as the internal winning combination, the second pushing order is notified as information of the stop operation, and the third pushing order or When the fourth push order is determined as the internal winning combination, the first push order is notified as information of the stop operation, and in the third special effect state, the first push order is the internal win. If it is determined as the winning combination, the first push order is notified as information on the stop operation, and if the second push order is decided as the internal winning combination, the information on the second push order to stop operation , And the third push order is the internal winning combination Of the second push order as information on the stop operation, and when the fourth push order is determined as the internal winning combination, the first push order is stopped It is characterized by notifying as information.

  When using only two of the above-described first and second pressing regulars, it is possible to set only two patterns of pressing order of correct (consolidated) and out-of-order (tenpai), resulting in In the first special effect state, the first pushing order is always notified, and in the second special effect state, the second pushing order is always notified. On the other hand, by adding the third and fourth pressing regulars, it is possible to set 4 patterns of pressing order of correct (consolidated) and out (tempering), resulting in In the special effect state and the second special effect state, both the first push order and the second push order can be notified. As a result, the player has a strong interest in the type of push order to be notified and the result of the game (internal winning combination), and the interest of the game can be further improved.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to carry out the addition of an advantageous state rich in gameplay, while associating it with the result of the game.

  A pachislot machine which is an example of a game machine according to the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

[Function flow of Pachislot machine]
As shown in FIG. 1, in the pachislot machine 1, when the player inserts a medal and the start lever 23 is operated, one value is taken from random numbers in a predetermined numerical range (for example, 0 to 65535). (Hereinafter, random numbers) are extracted.

  The internal winning combination determining means (main CPU 93 described later) performs lottery based on the extracted random number value to determine an internal winning combination. That is, the internal winning combination determination means is based on the detection of the start operation of the unit game on the start lever 23 by the start switch 79 (see FIG. 7) (the establishment of a predetermined start condition), with a predetermined probability from among the plurality of combinations. Determine the internal winning combination.

  By the determination of the internal winning combination, a combination of symbols permitting display along a pay line to be described later is determined. The types of combinations of symbols include those related to "winning" in which the player is given a benefit such as payout of medals, operation of replay (replay), activation of bonus, etc., and other so-called "loss" The ones concerned are provided.

  Subsequently, after the reels 3L, 3C, 3R are rotated, when the stop button 19L, 19C, 19R is pressed by the player, the reel stop control means (main CPU 93 described later) is an internal winning combination. Control of stopping the rotation of the corresponding reels 3L, 3C, 3R is performed based on the timing when the stop button 19L, 19C, 19R is pressed.

  Here, in the pachi-slot machine 1, basically, control is performed to stop the rotation of the corresponding reels 3L, 3C, 3R within a specified time (190 msec) after the stop buttons 19L, 19C, 19R are pressed. . In this embodiment, the number of symbols moving with the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R within the specified time is referred to as "the number of sliding pieces", and the maximum number thereof is equivalent to 4 symbols (maximum number of sliding pieces Determined in).

  However, in the MB (character product continuous operation device related to the second kind special character) game state, the corresponding reel is within 75 ms which is a specified time from when at least one of the plurality of stop buttons is pressed. Control to stop the rotation of is performed.

  When an internal winning combination permitting display of a combination of symbols relating to winning is determined, the reel stop control means utilizes the prescribed time, and the combination of the symbols is along the pay line as an effective line. The rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is stopped in the range of the maximum number of sliding symbols so as to be displayed as much as possible.

  On the other hand, for combinations of symbols whose display is not permitted by the internal winning combination, the reel is used in the range of the maximum number of sliding symbols so as not to be displayed along the pay line using the above-mentioned prescribed time Stop the rotation of 3L, 3C, 3R.

  In this way, when the rotations of the plurality of reels 3L, 3C, 3R are all stopped, the prize determination means (main CPU 93 described later) determines whether the combination of symbols displayed along the prize line relates to a prize It judges whether or not.

  That is, the winning determination means determines the establishment or failure of the winning combination based on the combination of the symbols stopped on the pay line, based on the fact that the fluctuation of the symbols is stopped by the reel stop control means.

  When it is determined that the game is related to winning, a bonus such as payout of medals is given to the player. A series of flows as described above are performed as one game (unit game) in the pachislot machine 1.

  In the present embodiment, the first stop operation of the reel stop operation (the operation of the stop button 19L, 19C, 19R) which is initially performed when all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R are rotating is the first stop operation, the first The stop operation performed subsequent to the stop operation is referred to as a second stop operation, and the stop operation performed subsequent to the second stop operation is referred to as a third stop operation.

  Further, in the pachislot machine 1, in the above-described series of flows, display of an image performed by a display device such as the liquid crystal display device 11, output of light performed by various lamps (LEDs 82 and 85 described later), speakers 58, 64, Various effects are performed using the output of the sound performed by 65 L and 65 R, or a combination thereof.

  When the player operates the start lever 23, in addition to the random number used to determine the internal winning combination described above, other lottery processing and random numbers for effect (hereinafter, random numbers for effect) are extracted. Be done.

  When the effect random number value is extracted, the effect content determination means (sub-CPU 102 described later) randomly determines what is to be executed this time out of a plurality of types of effect content associated with the internal winning combination.

  When the contents of the effect are determined, the effect executing means determines whether or not the winning is achieved when the rotation of each of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is stopped when the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is started. Advance the execution of the production in conjunction with each opportunity such as when it was received.

  As described above, the pachislot machine 1 provides the player with an opportunity to know or predict the combination of the determined internal winning combinations, that is, the symbols to be aimed by executing the presentation contents associated with the internal winning combinations. Thus, the interest of the player can be improved.

[Main control circuit]
Next, the main control circuit 91 configured by the main control board 71 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the main control circuit 91 of the pachislot machine 1.

  The main control circuit 91 mainly includes a microcomputer 92 installed on the main control board 71. The microcomputer 92 includes a main CPU 93, a main ROM 94, and a main RAM 95.

  The main ROM 94 stores a control program executed by the main CPU 93, a data table, data for transmitting various control commands (commands) to the sub control circuit 101, and the like. The main RAM 95 is provided with a storage area for storing various data such as an internal winning combination determined by the execution of the control program.

  The main CPU 93 counts the number of times the pulse is output to the stepping motor of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R after detecting the reel index. Thus, the main CPU 93 manages the rotation angles of the respective reels 3L, 3C, 3R (mainly, how many reels have been rotated).

  Here, the reel index is information indicating that the reel has made one rotation. The reel index is provided, for example, at a predetermined position of each of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R and an optical sensor having a light emitting unit and a light receiving unit, and between the light emitting unit and the light receiving unit by rotation of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R. It is detected by a reel position detection unit (not shown) having a detection piece to be interposed.

  Next, management of the rotation angles of the respective reels 3L, 3C, 3R will be specifically described. The number of pulses output to the stepping motor is counted by a pulse counter provided in the main RAM 95. Then, each time the pulse counter counts the output of a predetermined number of times (for example, 16 times) necessary for the rotation of one symbol, the symbol counter provided in the main RAM 95 is incremented by one. A symbol counter is provided according to each reel 3L, 3C, 3R. The value of the symbol counter is cleared when a reel index is detected by a reel position detection unit (not shown).

  That is, in the present embodiment, the main CPU 93 manages the symbol counter so as to manage how many symbols have been rotated since the reel index was detected. Therefore, the position of each symbol of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R is detected based on the position where the reel index is detected.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the pachi-slot machine 1 sets the maximum number of sliding pieces to four symbols. Therefore, when the left stop button 19L is pressed, the symbols of the left reel 3L in the middle of the reel display window 4 and each symbol within the range from the symbol to the symbol four points ahead of the symbol are of the reel display window 4 It becomes a symbol that can be stopped in the middle.

<Symbol combination table of internal winning combination>
17 to 19 are symbol combination tables of internal winning combinations showing combinations of symbols on which each internal winning combination is won, and the number of medals paid out at the time of winning of each internal winning combination.

  As shown in FIGS. 17-19, the combination of symbols for which each internal winning combination is won is stored in the display combination storing area (see FIG. 30) of the main ROM 94. Further, FIGS. 17 to 19 specify the number of medals paid out when each internal winning combination is won.

  In FIGS. 17-19, the combination means the symbol combination of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R displayed in the middle of the reel display window 4 when the reels 3L, 3C, 3R are stopped. Also, the names of each winning combination are derived from the combination.

  For example, the name of the winning combination when "GOD-yellow 7-yellow 7" is displayed in the middle of the reel display window 4 is "blue 7 (blue 7-1 or Blue 7-2)-Blue 7 (Blue 7-1, Blue 7-2, Blue 7-3 or Blue 7-4)-Blue 7 (Blue 7-1, Blue 7-2 or Blue 7-3) Since it is displayed (see FIG. 10), the initial of TOP LINE is taken as "C_TL Lip".

  In addition, the name of the winning combination when “blue 7-1-blue 7-1-blue 7-1” is displayed in the middle (CENTER LINE) of the reel display window 4 is the initial letter of CENTER LINE. "C_CL Lip 1" is used.

  In addition, the name of the winning combination when “GOD-yellow 7-GOD” is displayed in the middle of the reel display window 4 is in the lower part of the left reel 3L, the middle of the middle reel 3C, and the upper part of the right reel 3R. Since “Yellow 7” is displayed and “Yellow 7” is displayed in a row from the lower left to the upper right (see FIG. 10), “C_upper right yellow 7 lip” is set.

  Further, the name of the winning combination when "BAR-BAR-BAR" is displayed in the middle of the reel display window 4 is "C_CLHDS lip" from the pattern of "BAR" symbol.

  Further, the names of the winning combinations when "purple 7-BAR-purple 7" is displayed in the middle of the reel display window 4 are the bottom of the left reel 3L, the middle of the middle reel 3C, and the top of the right reel 3R. The symbol "BAR" is displayed on each of them, and "BAR" is displayed in a row from the lower left to the upper right (see FIG. 10), so it is considered as "C_XUHDS Lip".

  Also, the name of the winning combination when "purple 7-purple 7-GOD" is displayed in the middle of the reel display window 4 is "BAR-BAR-BAR" in the lower part (BOTTOM LINE) of the reel display window 4. Since it can be displayed (see FIG. 10), the first letter of BOTTOM LINE is taken as "C_BLHDS Lip".

  Further, the names of the winning combinations when “BAR-purple 7-BAR” is displayed in the middle of the reel display window 4 are in the upper stage of the left reel 3L, the middle of the middle reel 3C, and the lower stage of the right reel 3R. Since each "purple 7" symbol is displayed and "purple 7" is displayed in a row from the upper left to the lower right (see FIG. 10), "C_XD purple 7 lip 1" is selected.

  As shown in FIGS. 17 to 19, combinations of internal winning combinations relating to the re-playing combination are stored in data storage areas “8” to “19”. The internal winning combination associated with the re-playing combination may execute the game again without inserting the medal when the number of medals paid out at the time of winning is 0, but the internal winning combination associated with the re-playing combination is won. it can.

  The data storage areas “0” to “7” store combinations of internal winning combinations in which payout of medals is executed and the number of medals paid out at the time of winning of each internal winning combination. Here, since the internal winning combinations stored in the data storage areas “0” to “7” are paid out two medals each when two medals are placed, in the following description, The case where three medals are hung will be described.

  In the data storage areas “7” to “3”, “C_CL yellow 7”, which is a winning combination in which 15 medals are paid out at the time of winning, is paid out as an internal winning combination, and three medals are paid out at winning. A special prize that is won when any of the winning combinations “C_TL Yellow 71”, “C_TL Yellow 72” and “C_TL Yellow 73” is to be won, and none is won. The role is stored.

  The name of the special part is derived from which of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R the first stop operation is performed. For example, in the case of “C_L1st special combination A1”, the first stop operation is performed on the left reel 3L, and “GOD-blue 7-1-blue 7-1” is displayed in the middle of the reel display window 4 Win a prize.

  The winning combination “C_CL yellow 7” is a so-called 15-piece bell combination, and is realized by the display of “yellow 7-yellow 7-yellow 7” in the middle of the reel display window 4, and 15 medals are paid out Be done.

  The winning combination "C_GOD" is established by displaying "GOD-GOD-GOD" in the middle of the reel display window 4, and seven medals are paid out.

  The winning combinations “C_TL yellow 71”, “C_TL yellow 72” and “C_TL yellow 73” are displayed in the middle of the reel display window 4 as “purple 7-GOD-GOD”, “blue 7-1-GOD-GOD” or “upper”. By displaying "half circle-GOD-GOD", "yellow 7-yellow 7-yellow 7" is displayed on the upper stage of the reel display window 4 (see FIG. 10), which is a winning combination and 7 medals Be paid out.

  The winning combination "C_chance roles A1 to 3 and B1 to 3" is a so-called chance role serving as a lottery trigger in the AT gaming state and a lottery trigger in the ART gaming state, which will be described later. Be paid out.

<Relationship between internal winning combination and winning combination by stopping operation sequence>
Next, the relationship between the internal winning combination and the winning combination according to the stop operation order of the stop buttons 19L, 19C, 19R will be described with reference to FIG. The winning combinations established in each internal winning combination are described in more detail in FIGS.

  As shown in FIG. 20, for example, when the internal winning combination "F_normal lip" is internally won, even if the first stop operation is executed to any of the stop buttons 19L, 19C, 19R, " It becomes an upper row lip, and the winning combination "C_TL lip" can be won.

  When the internal winning combination "F_normal lip purple 7" is internally won, the first stop operation is "right", that is, when the stop button 19R is subjected to the first stop operation, "press 7 correct" at the correct pressing position Thus, the winning combination "C_CL purple 7 lip" can be won. Here, when the first stop operation is "left", that is, the left stop button 19L is subjected to the first stop operation, the pachi-slot machine 1 becomes an "upper lip". In addition, when the first stop operation is "middle", that is, when the middle stop button 19C is subjected to the first stop operation, the pachislot machine 1 becomes "bar-turning" at the correct press position, and as a winning combination, for example, "C_HDS lip 1" Or “C_HDS Lip 4”, the middle part of the reel display window 4 is a winning combination with a symbol combination winning “BAR-BAR-BAR” winning, but two “BAR” symbols but not three. You can win a prize.

  Here, the pressed position correct answer is a target internal winning combination within the range of the maximum number of sliding symbols (4 pieces) from the symbol position of the pay line when the player presses the stop button 19L, 19C, 19R. There is a symbol that constitutes such a symbol combination, and it means that the symbol can be stopped on the pay line.

  When the internal winning combination "F_ Normal Lip BAR" is internally won, if the first stop operation is "Medium", the pressed position correct answer will be "BAR aligned", and the winning combination "C_CLHDS Lip" may be won. it can. Here, when the first stop operation is "left", the pachi-slot machine 1 becomes an "upper lip". Also, if the first stop operation is "right", the pachislot machine 1 becomes "purple 7 turn" at the correct press position, and for example, "C_purple 7 lip 6" or "C_purple 7" as a winning combination. In the middle of the reel display window 4, such as "rip 9", two "purple 7" symbols are aligned but three are not aligned, winning a winning combination with a symbol combination winning "purple 7-purple 7-purple 7" winning It can be done.

  In these internal winning combinations "F_normal lip purple 7" and "F_normal lip BAR", the first pushing order and the second pushing order different from the first pushing order are prescribed as the specific pushing order. And a winning combination having different symbol combinations when the stopping operation is performed in any of the first pressing order and the second pressing order, and the first pressing order combination and the second pressing order combination Configure

  The first pushing order is the pushing order of the first stop operation “right”, and the second pushing order is the pushing order of the first stop operation “medium”. For example, when the stop operation is performed in the first push order, when the internal winning combination is "F_ normal lip purple 7", "purple 7 alignment" is possible, while the internal winning combination is "F_ normal lip BAR In the case of "", the "purple 7" "purple 7" symbol is two pieces aligned, but three pieces are not aligned. On the other hand, when the stop operation is performed in the second push order, when the internal winning combination is "F_normal lip BAR", "BAR alignment" is possible, while the internal winning combination is "F_normal lip purple 7". In the case of "", the "BAR around" "BAR" symbol will be two pieces aligned, but it will be in the tempai state where three pieces are not aligned.

  When the internal winning combination “F_purple 7 round lip” is internally won, “purple 7 round” is correct in the pressed position even if the first stop operation is performed to any of the stop buttons 19L, 19C, 19R. Thus, it is possible to win a winning combination having a symbol combination winning the "purple 7-purple 7-purple 7" prize.

  When the internal winning combination "F_BAR around lip" is internally won, even if the first stop operation is performed to any one of the stop buttons 19L, 19C, 19R, it becomes "BAR around" at the correct pressing position, It is possible to win a winning combination having a symbol combination winning a "BAR-BAR-BAR" winning.

  When the internal winning combination "F_ Purple 7 Lip" is internally won, "Purple 7" in the correct pressing position even if the first stop operation is executed to any of the stop buttons 19L, 19C, 19R. As a winning combination, for example, "C_CL purple 7 lip", "C_XD purple 7 lip 1", "C_XU purple 7 lip 1", "C_TL purple 7 lip 1", the upper, middle, upper left of the reel display window 4 From the bottom right or from the bottom left to the top right, the "purple 7" symbol can be displayed in a row in a row.

  When the internal winning combination "F_BAR Rip" is internally won, the "BAR complete" will be set at the correct pressing position even if the first stop operation is executed to any of the stop buttons 19L, 19C, 19R As a role, for example, winning a winning combination such as "C_CLBAR Lip", "C_XUBAR Lip", "C_BLBAR Lip", the "BAR" symbol is displayed in a row in the middle, lower or lower left from the lower left of the reel display window 4. Can.

  Here, the internal winning combination “F_normal lip purple 7”, “F_normal lip BAR”, “F_purple 7 red lip”, “F_BAR red lip”, “F_ purple 7 lip” or “F_BAR lip” is internally won. And, if it is a pressing position incorrect answer that does not win in the symbol combination "purple 7" symbol and "BAR" symbols are aligned in a row or two aligned, pachislot machine 1 as a winning combination "C_ common lip 1 Etc. Various common replay roles such as "" are won.

  When the internal winning combination "F_all rotation lip 1" and "F_all rotation lip 2" are internally won, even if the first stop operation is performed to any one of the stop buttons 19L, 19C, 19R, It becomes "upper row lip".

  When the internal winning combination “F_Middle Lip” is internally won, “Mid Rippl” is displayed and the reel display window 4 is displayed regardless of whether the first stop operation is performed to any one of the stop buttons 19L, 19C, 19R. A winning combination "C_CL Lips 1 to 24", in which any one of "Blue 7-1 to 4" is displayed in the middle row, is won.

  When the internal winning combination "F_upper right yellow 7 lip" is internally won, it becomes "upper right yellow 7", regardless of whether the first stop operation is executed to any of the stop buttons 19L, 19C and 19R. The role “C_upper right yellow 7 lip” is won.

  The internal winning combination "F_ middle left and right bell 1-3", "F_ middle right left bell 1-3", "F_ right left middle bell 1-3" and "F_ right middle left bell 1-3" in the specific pressing order It is a so-called 15-bell role in which 15 medals are paid out when the stop operation is executed.

  When the internal winning combination “F_M2 right and left bell 1”, “F_M2 right and left bell 2” and “F_M2 right and left bell 3” are internally won, the stop operation is executed in the order of “M−L−L−R” In the case of the winning combination "C_CL yellow 7" where 15 medals are paid out, and when the stop operation is performed in the order other than that, it is possible to win each winning combination where one medal is paid out.

  For example, when the internal winning combination “F_Middle left and right bell 1” is internally won, and the left stop button 19L is subjected to the first stop operation, a winning combination “C_L1st special combination A1” in which one medal is paid out, “ It is possible to win a C_L1st special role A2 "or a" C_C1st special role 1 to 4 ".

  When the internal winning combination "F_middle right left bell 1", "F_middle right left bell 2" and "F_middle right left bell 3" are internally won, the stop operation is executed in the order of "middle-right-left" In the case of the winning combination "C_CL yellow 7" where 15 medals are paid out, and when the stop operation is performed in the order other than that, it is possible to win each winning combination where one medal is paid out.

  For example, when the internal winning combination "F_middle left left bell 1" is internally won, and the left stop button 19L is subjected to the first stop operation, a winning combination "C_L1st special combination D1" in which one medal is paid out, " The C_L1st special role D2 "or" C_C1st special role 1 to 4 "can be won.

  When the internal winning combination "F_right left middle bell 1", "F_right left middle bell 2" and "F_right left middle bell 3" are internally won, the stop operation is executed in the order of "right-left-middle" In the case of the winning combination "C_CL yellow 7" where 15 medals are paid out, and when the stop operation is performed in the order other than that, it is possible to win each winning combination where one medal is paid out.

  For example, when the internal winning combination “F_right left middle bell 1” is internally won, and the left stop button 19L is subjected to the first stop operation, a winning combination “C_L1st special role A1” in which one medal is paid out, “ The C_L1st special role A2 or the "C_R1st special role 1 to 4" can be won.

  When the internal winning combination "F_right middle left bell 1", "F_right middle left bell 2" and "F_right middle left bell 3" are internally won, the stop operation is executed in the order of "right-middle-left" If the player is awarded the winning combination “C_CL yellow 7” in which 15 medals are paid out, and if the stopping operation is executed in the order other than that, it is possible to win in each winning combination in which one medal is paid out. .

  For example, when the internal winning combination "F_right middle left bell 1" is internally won and the left stop button 19L is subjected to the first stop operation, a winning combination "C_L1st special combination D1" in which one medal is paid out, "C_L1st special role D2" or "C_R1st special role 1 to 4" can be won.

  In the internal winning combination “3 bells of F_ in 1 to 6” and “F 3 bells on the right of 1 to 6”, three medals are paid out when the stop operation is executed in a specific pressing order, so-called 3 It is a piece bell role.

  In other words, the above-mentioned internal winning combination "3 bells 1 to 6 in F_" and "3 bells 1 to 6 right" are different from the pushing order A and the pushing order A as the specific pushing order. A pushing order B is defined, and when the stop operation is performed in any of the pushing order A and the pushing order B, three medals are awarded (paid out) as a predetermined profit. In addition, a third push order different from push order A and push order B is defined for the internal winning combination “3 bells of 1 to 6 in F_” and “3 bells on the right of F 1 to 6”. When the stop operation is performed in the order of pressing (for example, the first left stop), one medal is awarded (disbursed) as a profit smaller than the case where the stop operation is performed in order of pressing A and B. It is.

  The pushing order A is a pushing order corresponding to "x" in the drawing, and the pushing order B is a pushing order corresponding to "o" in the drawing. For example, in the internal winning combination "three bells 1 to 3" among the internal winning combination "three bells 1 to 6 in F", "middle-right-left" as the pushing order A ("x"), "Medium-left-right" is defined as the pushing order B ("○"). Further, in the internal winning combination "3 bells 4 to 6 in F_", the pushing order A and the pushing order B are opposite to those in the internal winning combination "3 bells 1 to 3 in F_3" described above. In the present embodiment, among the specific pressing orders (pushing order A and pushing order B), the pushing order B (“o”) is treated as the defined pushing order.

  Further, whether or not the stop operation has been performed in the prescribed pressing order is determined in the batting order determination described later. A winning combination “C_TL yellow 71 to 3” in which payout of three medals is executed by winning any one of internal winning combinations “F_Mer 3 bels 1-6” and “F_right 3 bels 1-6” When a stop operation is performed in the pushing order B (“o”) when the player wins a prize, the result of the batting order determination becomes “o”. On the other hand, when the stop operation is performed in the pushing order A ("x"), the result of the batting order determination becomes "x".

  In addition, when the internal winning combination “3 bells of 1 to 6 F” and “3 bells to the right of F 1 to 6” are internally won, and the stop operation is executed in the specified pressing order among the specific pressing order. The main CPU 93 adds one to the batting order area (see FIG. 82) in the main effect state transition process (see FIG. 81) described later.

  For example, when the internal winning combination "3 bell 1 in F_" is internally won and the stop operation is performed in the order of "middle-left-right" or "middle-right-left", the pachislot machine 1 receives a winning combination "C_TL. One of yellow 71-3 "wins". At this time, the main CPU 93 outputs a signal to pay out three medals to the hopper device 51, and when the stop operation is performed in the order of "middle-left-right", the stop operation is performed in the prescribed pressing order. Judge and add 1 to the batting area. When the stop operation is performed in the order of “middle-right-left”, the main CPU 93 determines that the stop operation has not been executed in the prescribed pressing order, and does not add a change due to the stop operation to the batting order area.

  In addition, one medal is paid out when the stop operation is not executed in a specific pressing order for the internal winning combination "3 bells of 1 to 6 in F_" and "3 bells on the right of F_ 1 to 6". Winning combination can be won. For example, a winning combination “C_L1st special combination A1” or one in which one medal is paid out when the internal winning combination “three bells of F_ in 1” is internally won and the left stop button 19L is subjected to the first stop operation "C_L1st special role A2" can be won.

  When the internal winning combination "F_ lower yellow 7" is internally won, the "lower one" is selected and the winning combination is made, regardless of whether the first stop operation is performed to any one of the stop buttons 19L, 19C and 19R. "F_L1st special combination A1, 2", "F_L1st special combination B1, 2", "F_L1st special combination C1, 2", "F_L1st special combination D1, 2", "F_L1st special combination E1, 2" or "F_L1st special combination F1 , 2), and the "yellow 7" symbol is displayed in a line below the reel display window 4, and one medal is paid out.

  When the internal winning combination “F_Middle Yellow 7” is internally won, “15 sheets” is obtained regardless of which of the first stop operations is executed by the stop button 19L, 19C, 19R, and the winning combination “ It won the C_CL yellow 7 ", and 15 medals are paid out.

  When the internal winning combination "F_GOD1" is internally won, if the first stop operation is executed to the left stop button 19L or the middle stop button 19C, "7 sheets middle GOD" is set, and the winning combination "C_GOD" is won. The "GOD" symbol is displayed in a line in the middle of the reel display window 4, and seven medals are paid out. In addition, when the first stop operation is performed on the right stop button 19R, “7 sheets” is displayed, and the winning combination “C_GOD”, “C_TLGOD1”, “C_TLGOD2” or “C_TLGOD3” is won, and the reel is reeled. The "GOD" symbol is displayed in a line in the middle or upper stage of the display window 4, and seven medals are paid out.

  When the internal winning combination "F_GOD2" is internally won, "7 sheets middle GOD" is displayed and the winning combination "C_GOD" is obtained regardless of whether the first stop operation is performed by the stop button 19L, 19C, or 19R. 7 medals are paid out.

  When the internal winning combination "F_GOD3" is internally won, the first stop operation is executed to the left stop button 19L or the right stop button 19R, "seven lower right yellow 7" is displayed, and the winning combination "C_control" is performed. The symbols "Yellow 7" are displayed in a row from the upper left to the lower right of the reel display window 4, and seven medals are paid out. In addition, when the first stop operation is executed to the middle stop button 19C, it becomes “7 sheets or MB”, and the winning combination “C_control combination 1 to 10” and the winning combination “C_MB carried over from the time of transition to the RT1 gaming state” Can be awarded.

  When the internal winning combination "F_chance combination 1" is internally won, it becomes "1 sheet or 0 sheets" regardless of which of the first stop operations is executed by the stop buttons 19L, 19C and 19R It is possible to win one of the roles “C_chance roles A1 to 3”, and when it wins, one medal is paid out.

  When the internal winning combination "F_chance combination 2" is internally won, it becomes "1 sheet or 0 sheets" regardless of whether the first stop operation is executed to any one of the stop buttons 19L, 19C and 19R It is possible to win one of the roles "C_chance roles B1 to 3", and when it wins, one medal is paid out.

<Internal lottery table for general gaming state>
In the internal gaming table for the general gaming state shown in FIG. 21, a lottery value and a data pointer for each setting value are associated with a winning number when the main gaming state is the general gaming state (RT0 gaming state) .

  In the present embodiment, the random value for lottery which is extracted from the predetermined numerical range “0 to 65535” is sequentially subtracted by the lottery value according to each winning number, and the result of subtraction becomes negative or not. An internal lottery is performed by making a determination (whether or not a so-called "worry" has occurred).

  Therefore, the larger the numerical value defined as the lottery value, the higher the probability that the data to which it is assigned (that is, the data pointer) is determined. That is, the winning probability of each winning number can be represented by “lottery value corresponding to each winning number / number of all random numbers that may be extracted (65536)”.

  Here, when the number of times of determination processing whether the result of subtraction has become negative exceeds the number of winning numbers, the result of the internal lottery processing is "lost".

  The data pointer is data acquired as a result of the lottery performed with reference to the internal lottery table for the general gaming state, and the internal winning combination defined by the internal winning combination determination table for the small bonus replay (see FIG. 12) It is data to specify.

  That is, the data pointer is data used to determine the storage area type and 1-byte data in the internal winning combination determination table for small bonus replay shown in FIG. 12 and the internal winning combination determination table for bonus shown in FIG. . As the data pointer, a small winning combination / replay data pointer and a bonus data pointer are individually defined corresponding to each of the plurality of winning numbers.

  As shown in FIG. 21, in the internal gaming table for the ordinary gaming state, winning numbers “1” to “43” are associated with lottery values common to setting values “1” to “6”.

  In the small part and replay data pointer, values matching the winning number are associated with the winning numbers “1” to “42”, and “0” is associated with the winning number “43”. It is done. On the other hand, for the bonus data pointer, "0" is associated with winning numbers "1" to "42", and "1" is associated with winning numbers "43". .

<Internal lottery table for RT1 gaming state>
In the RT1 gaming state internal lottery table shown in FIG. 22, a lottery value and a data pointer for each setting value are associated with a winning number when the main gaming state is the RT1 gaming state.

  Since the internal lottery table for the RT1 gaming state is configured in the same manner as the internal lottery table for the general gaming state shown in FIG. 21, for the internal lottery table for the RT1 gaming state, the difference from the internal lottery table for the general gaming state is The description will be omitted, and the description including the illustration will be omitted for the same parts as the internal gaming table for the general gaming state.

  If the number of times the process of determining whether the result of subtraction has become negative exceeds the number of winning numbers, the result of the internal lottery process is "lost", but in the present embodiment, the main gaming state is In the case of the RT1 gaming state, the number of determination processes as to whether or not the result of subtraction has become negative does not exceed the number of winning numbers.

  The internal lottery table for the RT1 gaming state is a bonus flag carryover state of the MB gaming state which has not been activated for F_MB when the main gaming state is the RT1 gaming state, and therefore the winning number corresponding to the winning number of F_MB. There is no "43".

  In the internal lottery table for the RT1 gaming state, winning numbers “1” to “43” are associated with lottery values common to setting values “1” to “6”. The lottery values of winning numbers “1” to “43” may change the lottery value every set value “1” to “6”.

<Priority order table>
The priority order table shown in FIG. 23 defines the priority order of the number of sliding symbols when the main gaming state is other than the MB gaming state. In the priority order table, an order (hereinafter referred to as a priority order) in which an applicable numerical value is preferentially applied from a numerical range (that is, 0 to 6) of sliding piece number determination data predetermined as the sliding piece number is set. Specify.

<Priority order table for MB gaming state>
The priority order table for MB gaming state shown in FIG. 24 defines the priority order of the number of sliding symbols when the main gaming state is in the MB gaming state. The MB gaming state priority order table defines the priority order of numerical values that can be applied from the numerical value range (that is, 0 or 1) of sliding piece number determination data predetermined as the sliding piece number.

  In the priority order table and the priority order table for MB gaming state, each numerical value is searched in the order of priority from high order (1) to low order (5), and as a result of the search, from the numerical value corresponding to priority order "1". Preferentially applied. The priority order table is provided on the assumption that a plurality of sliding piece numbers having the same pull-in priority are present, and the sliding piece number having a higher priority order is applied.

  The priority order table and the priority order table for MB gaming state in the present embodiment define the priority order based on the sliding piece number determination data. That is, the priority order is defined such that the numerical value corresponding to the sliding symbol number determination data is the highest. As a result, since the sliding piece number determination data is determined prior to the other sliding piece numbers, the display of symbols intended at the time of development of the stop table is given priority.

<Reel Stop Initial Setting Table>
In the reel stop initial setting table shown in FIG. 25, the drawing priority order table selection data or drawing priority order table number is associated with the stop table selection data group with respect to the rotation stop number. These various data indicate various table numbers to be selected in the stop control of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R in accordance with the progress of one unit game.

  The drawing priority order table selection data is a number for selecting a drawing priority order table selection table shown in FIGS. 26 and 27 described later. The “draw-in priority order table number” is a number for selecting a pull-up priority order table shown in FIG. 28 described later.

  The “stop table selection data group” is a number for selecting a stop table or the like that stores the reel pressed position and the number of sliding symbols in association with each other, although the details are omitted. These numbers are data used to determine the "number of sliding piece determination data", that is, to determine the positions at which the three reels 3L, 3C, 3R are stopped, in accordance with the progress of one unit game. .

  In the reel stop initial setting table, the pull-down priority table selection data is associated with the rotation stop number corresponding to the data pointer for which stop control is performed differently depending on the stop operation order, regardless of the stop operation order A pull-in priority order table number is associated with the number of rotation stop corresponding to the data pointer whose stop control does not change.

<Import priority table selection table>
In the drawing priority order table selection table shown in FIGS. 26 and 27, the drawing priority order table numbers for the stop operation types indicating the order of the stop operation are associated with each set of drawing priority order table selection data.

  For example, in the drawing priority order table selection data “01”, when the first stop operation is “left”, the drawing priority order table number “00” is associated, and the first stop operation is “medium”. In this case, the drawing priority order table number "03" is associated.

  In the pull-in priority order table selection data "01", when the first stop operation is "left" and the second stop operation is "middle" at the time of the second stop operation ("left → middle" in the figure), If the pull-in priority order table number "00" is associated and the first stop operation is "right" and the second stop operation is "left" at the second stop operation ("right → left" in the figure), The drawing priority order table number "05" is associated.

<Import priority table>
The drawing-in priority order table shown in FIG. 28 indicates which symbol is to be drawn in priority when there are a plurality of symbols (symbols corresponding to the combination determined as the internal winning combination) that may be displayed within the drawing-in range. ing. In FIG. 28, the data of the winning operation flag is omitted for the sake of simplicity.

  In the draw-in priority order table, draw-in data indicating the draw-in priority of the combination of symbols relating to the prize operation flag (display combination) is shown. The “drop-in priority data” is information provided for the main CPU 93 to identify the pull-in priority.

  Here, "retraction" refers to rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R so as to display along the pay line the symbols that make up the combination of symbols relating to the internal winning combination within the range of the maximum number of sliding pieces. It means to stop it.

  For example, in the case of the attraction priority table number "00", if it is determined that there is a possibility that the prize actuation flag "C_TL Lip" and the prize actuation flags "C_CL Lip 1 to 24" will have a prize, "C_CL Lip Since “C_TL Rip” has a higher priority than “1 to 24”, stop control of rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is performed so as to preferentially pull in “C_TL Rip”.

[Various storage areas on the main control side]
29 to 39 show examples of various storage areas stored in the main RAM 95.

<Internal winning combination storage area>
The internal winning combination storing area shown in FIG. 29 is formed of six storage areas of internal winning combination storing areas 1 to 6. The size of the storage area of each of these internal winning combination storing areas 1 to 6 is 1 byte.

  Therefore, the total size of the internal winning combination storing areas 1 to 6 is 6 bytes. The internal winning combination storing areas 1 to 6 store data determined based on data (storage area type) of the internal winning combination defined by the internal winning combination determination table for small winning combination replay shown in FIG.

  In the internal winning combination storing area illustrated, for example, bit 0 to bit 2 of the internal winning combination storing area 1 correspond to "F_MB", "F_ chance combination 2" and "chance combination 1", respectively, and bits 3 to 7 are , Each unused.

  Similarly, bit 0 to bit 7 of the internal winning combination storing area 6 are respectively "F_all rotation lip 1", "F_BAR lip", "F_purple 7 lip", "F_BAR round lip", and "F_purple 7 round lip" ", F_normal lip BAR", "F_normal lip purple 7", and "F_normal lip" are corresponded.

<Display combination storage area>
The display combination storing area shown in FIG. 30 is formed of twenty storage areas of display combination storing areas 0 to 19. The size of the storage area of each of the display combination storing areas 0 to 19 is 1 byte.

  Therefore, the total size of the display combination storing area 0 to 19 is 20 bytes. The display combination storage areas 0 to 19 store data determined based on data (storage area type) of the display combination defined by each symbol combination table (bonus, replay, small combination) shown in FIGS. . The value of the display combination storing area is used by the main CPU 93 to identify the display combination after all of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R are stopped.

  In the illustrated display combination storage area, for example, bits 5 to 7 of the display combination storage area 0 correspond to “C_control combination 10”, “C_control combination 9” and “C_ control combination 8”, respectively, and bits 0 to 0 Bit 4 is unused respectively.

  Similarly, bit 0 to bit 7 of the display combination storing area 19 are "C_CL Lip 6", "C_CL Lip 5", "C_CL Lip 4", "C_CL Lip 3", "C_CL Lip 2", "C_CL Lip," respectively. It corresponds to 1 "," C_TL Lip ", and" C_MB ".

<Symbol code storage area>
The symbol code storage area shown in FIG. 31 is configured in the same manner as the display combination storage area shown in FIG. Therefore, the detailed description is omitted.

  In the symbol code storage area, data indicating combinations that can be won on the rotating reel is stored. For example, when all of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R are rotating, all combinations can be won, so "1" is stored in all corresponding bits of the symbol code storage area. Thereafter, when the left reel 3L is stopped (reels 3C and 3R are rotated), the bit corresponding to the winning combination that has become impossible to be won due to the stop of the left reel 3L is updated to “0”.

  Referring to FIGS. 17 to 19, for example, when the "BAR" symbol stops on the middle reel 3C, "C_CL purple 7 lip" or "C_XD purple" in which the design of the middle reel 3C is the "purple 7" design. The bit corresponding to 7 lip 1 to 4 etc. is updated to “0”, while the symbol of middle reel 3 C corresponds to “C_CLHDS lip” or “C_HDS lip 1 to 4” etc whose symbol is “BAR”. The bit to be held is maintained at "1".

<Actual stop button storage area>
The operation stop button storage area shown in FIG. 32 is 1 byte in size. Bits 4 to 6 are storage areas indicating stop buttons 19L, 19C, 19R that can detect a stop operation by the player, that is, valid stop buttons 19L, 19C, 19R.

  Bits 0 to 2 are storage areas indicating stop buttons 19L, 19C, and 19R at which the stop operation corresponding to the valid stop buttons 19L, 19C, and 19R has been detected immediately before. In the present embodiment, bit 3 and bit 7 are unused, and "0" is stored.

  Bit 0 corresponds to the left stop button 19L. When the left stop button 19L is operated by the player, “1” is stored in bit 0. Bit 1 corresponds to the middle stop button 19C. When the middle stop button 19C is operated by the player, “1” is stored in bit 1. Bit 2 corresponds to the right stop button 19R. When the right stop button 19R is operated by the player, "1" is stored in bit 2.

  Bit 4 corresponds to the left stop button 19L. When the left stop button 19L is valid, “1” is stored in bit 4. Bit 5 corresponds to the middle stop button 19C. When the middle stop button 19C is valid, "1" is stored in bit 5. Bit 6 corresponds to the right stop button 19R. When the right stop button 19R is valid, "1" is stored in bit 6.

  In the present embodiment, that the stop button is valid means that the stop operation can be detected. Further, the stop buttons 19L, 19C, 19R corresponding to the reels rotating at a constant speed, and the stop buttons 19L, 19C, 19R capable of detecting the stop operation are referred to as effective stop buttons.

<Pressing order storage area>
The pressing order storage area shown in FIG. 33 is an area for storing information indicating the pressing order of the three stop buttons 19L, 19C, and 19R. The pressing order storage area is one byte in size, bits 0 to 5 are used, bits 6 and 7 are unused, and "0" is stored.

  Bit 0 corresponds to the pressing order "left → middle → right", and "1" is stored (on) in bit 0 when the pressing order is "left → middle → right". Similarly, when the pressing order is "left → right → middle", "1" is stored (turned on) in bit 1 and when the pressing order is "middle → left → right", "1" in bit 2 Is stored (on), and “1” is stored in bit 3 (on) in the case of “middle → right → left”, and “1” is stored in bit 4 in the case of “right → left → middle” (“On”), “1” is stored (on) in bit 5 in the case of “right → middle → left”.

<Holding part storage area>
The holding combination storage area shown in FIG. 34 is 1 byte in size, bit 0 corresponds to “MB”, and bit 1 to bit 7 are unused. As a result of the internal lottery process, when the internal winning combination "F_MB" is determined, "1" is stored in bit 0 of the carryover combination storage area.

  By storing “1” in bit 0 of the carryover combination storage area, it can be determined that “F_MB” has been won. The state in which "1" is stored in bit 0 of the carryover combination storage area is held until the symbol combination corresponding to "C_MB" is displayed on the pay line.

  That is, when winning "F_MB", "1" is stored in bit 0 of the carryover combination storage area in at least one unit game until the combination of these bonus symbols is displayed on the payline as a display combination. State is maintained. Maintaining a state in which "0" is stored in bit 0 from a unit game winning a bonus to a unit game winning is referred to as so-called "carry over". The "F_MB" stored in the carryover combination storage area is referred to as a "carryingover combination".

  When the player performs a stop operation and rotation of each of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is stopped, the internal winning combination storing area is initialized but the carryover combination storing area is not initialized. By doing this, it is possible to maintain the "carried over" state.

<Playing state flag storage area>
The gaming state flag storage area shown in FIG. 35 stores a flag for indicating whether the main gaming state is the bonus gaming state or the RT1 gaming state, and has a size of 1 byte.

  Bit 0 and bit 1 of the gaming state flag storage area relate to the bonus gaming state, and bit 2 relates to the main gaming state. In the present embodiment, bits 3 to 7 of the gaming state flag storage area are respectively unused.

  In the bonus gaming state, bit 0 of the gaming state flag storage area is set to "1" (on) in the MB gaming state, and bit 1 of the gaming state flag storage area is set to "1" (on) in the CB gaming state. Ru.

<Rotator effect flag storage area>
The rotating drum effect flag storage area shown in FIG. 36 is constituted by five storage areas of the rotating drum effect flag storage areas 0 to 4. The size of the storage area of each of these rotating drum effect flag storage areas 0 to 4 is 1 byte.

  Therefore, the total size of the rotating drum effect flag storage areas 0 to 4 is 5 bytes. In the spinning drum effect flag storage areas 0 to 4, flags for indicating which one of the spinning drum effects executed in the reel rotation start process (see FIG. 74) described later is stored.

  Here, the rotating drum effect is the effect lottery number assigned when winning a predetermined internal winning combination in the other lottery process (see FIG. 72) described later, and the lock effect lottery table 1 to 3 (FIG. 43 to FIG. 45) to control the behavior of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R (for example, vibrate the reel 3L, rotate the reels in a pseudo manner, etc.).

  In the rotating drum effect flag storage area shown, for example, bit 0 to bit 7 of the rotating drum effect flag storage area 0 are respectively "no effect", "rolling drum lock 1", "rolling drum lock 2", "rolling drum lock It corresponds to 3 "," rolling body lock 4 "," combo cassette 1 "," combo cassette 2 ", and" combo purple 7 ".

  Similarly, bit 0 and bit 1 of rotating drum effect flag storage area 4 correspond to “wait for combo 1 input” and “wait for combo 2 input”, respectively, and bits 2 to 7 of rotating drum effect flag storage area 4 are , Each has become unused.

  Each bit of the rotating drum effect flag storage area corresponds to the winning rotating drum effect number in the lottery processing of the rotating drum effect based on the lock lottery table 2 (refer to FIG. 44) in the other lottery processing (refer to FIG. 72) described later. The bit will be "1" (on).

  Each bit of the rotating drum effect flag storage area is configured in the same manner as the reserved rotating drum effect flag storage area (see FIG. 37), and a bit that is "1" (on) of the reserved rotating drum effect flag storage area And the corresponding bit becomes “1” (on) by reservation lock processing (see FIG. 83) described later.

<Reserved drum effect flag storage area>
The reserved rotating drum effect flag storage area shown in FIG. 37 is configured in the same manner as the rotated drum effect flag storage area shown in FIG. Therefore, the detailed description is omitted.

  Each bit of the reserved rotating drum effect flag storage area is won in the lottery processing of the rotating drum effect based on the lock lottery tables 1 and 3 (refer to FIG. 43 and FIG. 45) in the other lottery processing (refer to FIG. 72) described later. The bit corresponding to the trunk effect number is "1" (on).

<Main effect status flag storage area>
The main effect state flag storage area shown in FIG. 38 stores a flag for indicating which of the main effect states 0 to 2 the main effect state is, and has a size of 1 byte. In the present embodiment, bits 3 to 7 of the main effect state flag storage area are unused.

  Here, the main effect state flag is a flag used by the main CPU 93 to determine whether the current secondary gaming state is the normal state, the additional specialization state or the ART state, and the main effect state 0 2 correspond to the normal state, the additional specialization state, and the ART state, respectively. That is, the main effect states 0 to 2 reflect whether the effect state in the sub control circuit 101 is the normal state, the additional specialization state, or the ART state, and is controlled by the main CPU 93. Therefore, the main CPU 93 constitutes a main effect state control means.

  In the main effect state flag storage area, when the main effect state 1 is set in the main effect state transition process (see FIG. 81) described later, the bit 1 corresponding to the main effect state 1 is “1” (on) When the main effect state 2 is set, when the bit 2 corresponding to the main effect state 2 is "1" (on) and the main effect state flag storage area is cleared, the bit 1 and the bit 2 Becomes “0” (off), and bit 0 corresponding to the main effect state 0 becomes “1” (on).

<Import priority data storage area>
The drawing priority data storage area shown in FIG. 39 includes a left reel drawing priority data storage area, a middle reel drawing priority data storage area, and a right reel drawing priority data storage area.

  The contents of the middle reel pull-in priority data storage area and the right reel pull-in priority data storage area are the same as those of the left reel pull-in priority data storage area. The data storage area will be described.

  The left reel pull-in priority data storage area can store pull-in priority data for each of the symbol position data (see FIG. 10). For example, for symbol position data 0, combinations (one of 01EH to 000H) defined in priorities 1 to 5 in FIG. 28 are defined, and from these drawing priority data, internal winning combinations and Depending on the stop positions of the other reels 3C and 3R, any pull-in priority data is stored. Thus, the left reel 3L is controlled not to stop or stop the symbol corresponding to the internal winning combination on the pay line.

  In the same manner, the symbol positions data 1 to 20 also define the roles to be defined in the priority order, and based on these lead-in priority data, the internal winning combination and the stop positions of the other reels 3L, 3C, 3R In response, one of the pull-in priority data is stored.

[Various data tables related to main effect status update processing]
40 to 56 show various data tables related to the main effect state update process stored in the main ROM 94.

<Striking determination table>
In the batting order determination table shown in FIG. 40, the payout of three medals is executed by winning either of the internal winning combinations "3 bells of 1 to 6 in F_" and "3 bells on the right of F_1 to 6". It shows the result of batting order determination in the case where one of the winning combinations “C_TL yellow 71 to 3” is won.

  In the batting order determination table, the results of batting order determination with respect to the stop operation order in the case where each internal winning combination is won and any of the winning combinations “C_TL yellow 71 to 3” is won are associated.

  The result of “○” or “×” of batting order determination is information provided for the main CPU 93 to identify the current main effect state, and in the main effect state transition process (see FIG. 81) described later, the batting area It is used when updating (see FIG. 82).

<Hitting determination result correspondence table>
In the batting order determination result correspondence table shown in FIG. 41, each of the batting order determination results is executed by winning one of the internal winning combinations "3 bells of 1 to 6 in F_" and "3 bells on the right of F_1 to 6". The main effect state, the presence or absence of the turn effect, and the ON / OFF of the external signal are associated with each other.

  As shown in FIG. 41, when the left stop button 19L is operated for the first stop, the main effect state is associated with the main effect state 0 (normal state), and the external signal is associated with the OFF state.

  Moreover, as a result of performing batting order determination twice, when it is any of "XX", "XX", and "XX", the main presentation state is associated with the main presentation state 1 (superimposed specialization state) The spinning drum effect is associated with occurrence of combo freeze, and the external signal is associated with ON. Here, Combo Freeze is a plurality of rotating drum effects in which each reel 3L, 3C, 3R displaying a predetermined symbol is reversely rotated once by several frames and then rotated forward to display the predetermined symbol again. It is a torso effect repeated several times. When combo freeze occurs, in addition to the spinner effect corresponding to the combo freeze, a spinner effect “combo reverse A” and “combo reverse B” may be executed as described later.

  Also, as a result of performing the batting order determination twice, when it is "○○", the main effect state is associated with the main effect state 2 (ART state), and the turning drum effect corresponds to the turning drum lock and the dejab freeze occurrence And the external signal is associated with ON. Here, the rotating drum lock is a rotating drum effect that vibrates at least one of the respective reels 3L, 3C, 3R. Also, with dejab freeze, the reels 3L, 3C, 3R displaying a predetermined symbol combination execute different numbers of forward rotations in the order of the left reel 3L, middle reel 3C, right reel 3R, one reel at a time It is a turning drum effect that displays the predetermined symbol combination displayed in the previous game again in sequence.

  Here, the above-described Combo Freeze, Dejab Freeze, and Spindle Lock all indicate the contents of the spin drum effect, but in detail, the game operation by the player is performed on condition that a predetermined lock condition is established. It shows the contents of a rotating drum effect which is performed during execution of so-called locking, which is invalidated until the rotational speeds of the respective reels 3L, 3C, 3R become constant as a predetermined period. The above-mentioned lock is executed by the main CPU 93. Therefore, the main CPU 93 constitutes lock execution means. As the predetermined lock condition, for example, there is a case where winning is performed by lottery of various lock effects.

  Also, the spinning drum effect that is performed during the execution of the lock, that is, the combo freeze, the dejab freeze and the spinning drum lock is executed by the main CPU 93. Therefore, while the lock is being performed, the main CPU 93 performs any of the rotating drum effects among the combo freeze, the de-jaw freeze and the rotating drum lock by using the rotation operation of the plurality of reels 3L, 3C, 3R. The main CPU 93, which performs any of the rotating drum effects among the combo freeze, the de-jump freeze and the rotating drum lock during the execution of the lock, constitutes a lock effect means. In addition, each rotating drum effect of combo freeze, dejab freeze and rotating drum lock constitutes a lock effect.

And the probability of winning in any of the combo system lock effects of “combo_BAR” is defined, and when not winning in any of the combo system lock effects, it becomes “no effect” as a rotating drum effect.

  Here, “combo_gasse1” and “combo_gasse2” are rotating drum effects for displaying the predetermined symbol combination again after the predetermined symbol combination is displayed and the combo freeze is executed. In addition, “combo_purple 7” and “combo_BAR” display a predetermined symbol combination, execute combo freeze, and after reels 3L, 3C, 3R stop, reels 3L, 3C, 3R start reverse rotation. , "Purple 7-purple 7-purple 7" and "BAR-BAR-BAR" are displayed in the middle step of the reel display window 4, respectively, the reels 3L, 3C, 3R vibrate, and after stopping, the rotating drum effect "wait for combo input It is a turning drum effect to shift to

  The lock effect lottery table 2 shown in FIG. 44 is referred to when the main effect state is the main effect state 2, and it wins any of the turning body lock system effects of "turning body locks 1 to 4" as the turning body effect. If the probability is specified and neither of the torso lock-type effects is won, it becomes “no effect” as the toroid effect.

  The lock effect lottery table 3 shown in FIG. 45 is referred to when the main effect state is the main effect state 2, and the probability of winning either “Dejab single shot” or “dejab continuous” is defined as a rotating drum effect, If neither "dejab single shot" nor "dejab continuous" is won, it becomes "no production" as a rotating drum effect.

  Here, “Dejab single shot” indicates that a predetermined symbol combination is displayed and executes “dejave freeze”, then the predetermined symbol combination is displayed again, and after stopping, the rotating drum effect “dejab end” is transferred to “rotary drum effect“ dejab ” It is a turning drum effect which becomes an opportunity to execute "operation" once. Also, “Dejab continuous” indicates that a predetermined symbol combination is displayed and the dejab freeze is executed, and after the reels 3L, 3C, 3R are stopped, the respective reels 3L, 3C, 3R displaying the predetermined symbol are respectively The reverse rotation of the different number of times is executed in the order of the left reel 3L, the middle reel 3C, and the right reel 3R, a predetermined symbol is displayed again, and after stopping, the rotating drum effect is transferred to "wait for dejab input".

  When the main effect state is in the main effect state 1, as shown by the respective lock effect lottery tables in FIG. 42 to FIG. 44, the combo system lock effect is performed as the turning drum effect, and the main effect state is the main effect state 2 When it is in, the torso lock system effect and the dejab system lock effect are performed as the tonality effect. That is, when the above-described lock is performed during the main effect state 1, the main CPU 93 performs the combo system lock effect as the turning drum effect, and when the above-described lock is performed during the main effect state 2. , As a rotating drum effect, perform rotating drum lock system effect, dejab system lock effect. Here, the combo system lock effect constitutes a first lock effect, and the turning drum lock effect and the dejab system lock effect constitute a second lock effect.

<Continuation rate lottery table>
The continuation rate lottery table shown in FIG. 46 is a dejab based on each effect lottery number when either “dejab continuous” or combo system lock presentation is set as a turning drum effect in the continuous lock effect process shown in FIG. This table is referred to when determining the probability that the system lock effect or the combo system lock effect continues. Here, the dejab-based lock effect is composed of “de-jab operation” and “de-jab continuous” which are rotating drum effects accompanied by de-jab freezes, and constitutes the reel reproduction effect in the present invention.

  Each continuity probability is associated with a continuity probability number, and, for example, the continuity probability number “1” is associated with the continuity probability “50%”.

  The continuation rate random determination table is referred to when either “dejab continuous” or combo-based lock effect is set as a rotating drum effect, and “0%”, “50%”, “66%”, or a continuous probability. The probability of winning any of "80%", "85%" and "90%" is defined.

<Continuous freeze table>
In the continuous freeze table shown in FIG. 47, the combo system lock effect is set as the turning drum effect in the continuous lock effect process shown in FIG. 75, and when winning the continuous lottery, the combo operation is determined based on each continuity probability number. It is a table that is referred to when

  In the continuous freeze table, the probability of winning any of “normal continuation”, “reverse continuation A”, “reverse continuation B” and “non-continuation” is defined as the combo operation.

  Here, "normal continuation" is a combo operation for executing a revolving drum effect "combo operation" in which each reel 3L, 3C, 3R is reversely rotated twice and then vibrated. Also, "reverse rotation continuation A" starts forward rotation in order of left reel 3L, middle reel 3C, right reel 3R, and after stopping in order of left reel 3L, middle reel 3C, right reel 3R, reels 3L, 3C, It is a combo operation that executes a rotating drum effect “combo reverse rotation A” to shift to a rotating drum effect “combo reverse rotation operation” that vibrates all of 3R. Further, “reverse rotation continuation B” is a combo operation for executing a rotation drum effect “combo reverse rotation B” having a difference in the behavior of the middle reel 3C with the rotation drum effect “combo reverse rotation A”. Further, "discontinue" is a combo operation for executing the spinning drum effect "combo end".

<Reel control table for spinning drum effect>
The reel control tables shown in FIGS. 48 to 50 indicate signals output from the main control board 71 to the stepping motors of the respective reels 3L, 3C, 3R when the respective drum effects are executed. The data defined in the reel control table at the time of spinning drum effect is a spinning drum effect performed until the rotational speeds of the respective reels 3L, 3C, 3R become constant.

  Here, the rotating drum effects "all rotation_purple 7", "all rotation BAR" and "all rotation _GOD" are so-called all rotation lock effects, and in any of the rotation drum effects, the reels 3L, 3C, 3R Rotate the reels 3L, 3C, 3R backward at a lower speed than in normal rotation after stopping forward, stop the reel rotation speed so that "BAR" symbol, "purple 7" symbol and "GOD" symbol are aligned in one row After being adjusted and stopped, the normal rotation is started again, and it is rotated at a low speed in the vicinity of a predetermined symbol, and "purple 7-purple 7-purple 7" is displayed in the middle step of the reel display window 4 It is a trunk effect.

  Further, the rotating drum effect “all rotation_purple 7” is a rotating drum effect in which the reels 3L, 3C, 3R vibrate and stop after the initial full rotation effect. In addition, the spinning drum effect "All rotation_BAR" rotates forward again after the initial full rotation effect, "BAR-BAR-BAR" is displayed in the middle of the reel display window 4, and the reels 3L, 3C, 3R vibrate and stop. It is a torso effect. In addition, the spinning drum effect "All rotation GOD" is rotated again after the initial full rotation effect, "BAR-BAR-BAR" is displayed in the middle of the reel display window 4, and it rotates forward again, the middle of the reel display window 4 “GOD-GOD-GOD” is displayed on the display, and the reels 3L, 3C, 3R vibrate and stop rotating.

<Output signal of main control board>
51 to 55 show each signal output from the main control board 71 to the stepping motor of each of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R. For example, the signal "ACOT_01" is a signal that accelerates the stepping motor in the positive rotation direction.

  Moreover, FIG. 56 is an example of the signal group output in the symbol position adjustment process which adjusts a symbol position in initial stage full rotation production. Here, in the symbol position adjustment process, the main CPU 93 determines the signal outputted to each reel 3L, 3C, 3R by the stop position (symbol position data shown in FIG. 10) of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R in the previous game. Calculation of the stop position information “ACT_STP + 0”, “ACT_STP + 1”, “ACT_STP + 2” stored in the stop position information “ACT_STP + 0”, “ACT_STP + 1”, and the stored calculation results are stored for each of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R. Determined based on the value of

  Here, the predetermined calculation is a calculation in which 1 is added to the stop position in the previous game of each of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R, and the added value is multiplied by eight. For example, the stop position information “ACT_STP + 0” of the left reel 3L is calculated as “ACT_STP + 0 = (symbol position data of the left reel 3L + 1) × 8”. The same applies to the calculation as to the stop position information “ACT_STP + 1” of the middle reel 3C and the stop position information “ACT_STP + 2” of the right reel 3R, except that the symbol position data to be referred to is different for each reel.

  The main control board 71 outputs the signal "ACOT_AJ" (see FIG. 54) the same number of times as the value obtained by subtracting 1 from the value stored in the stop position information "ACT_STP + 0 to 2" and outputs the signal "ACOT_AJ" from 168. The signal “ACOT_R3” (see FIG. 54) is output by subtracting the number of times. In the symbol position adjustment process, when the main control board 71 outputs the signal "ACOT_R3" to all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R, the "purple 7" symbol, the "BAR" symbol and the "GOD" symbol are in one row. It is configured to align. Here, the signal "ACOT_AJ" is a signal that reversely rotates the output reel at a low speed. Further, the signal "ACOT_R3" is a signal that reversely rotates the output reel at a lower speed than when the signal "ACOT_AJ" is output.

  In FIG. 56, the symbol position when the symbol position data of the left reel 3L is “0”, the symbol position data of the middle reel 3C is “1”, and the symbol position data of the right reel 3R is “2” in the previous game It is a figure which shows the output signal of adjustment processing. The stop position information "ACT_STP + 0-2" values are that the symbol position data of the left reel 3L is "0", the symbol position data of the middle reel 3C is "1", and the symbol position data of the right reel 3R is "2" Thus, “ACT_STP + 0 = 8”, “ACT_STP + 1 = 16”, and “ACT_STP + 1 = 24”, respectively. Based on the calculation result, the main control board 71 determines the number of times of the signals “ACOT_AJ” and “ACOT_R3” output to each of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R to the number shown in FIG.

  Next, the behavior of each of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R in the symbol position adjustment process shown in FIG. 56 will be described. First, the signal "ACOT_AJ" is output to all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R, and reverse rotation is started.

  Next, a low speed reverse rotation signal "ACOT_R3" is output to the left reel 3L, and a signal "ACOT_AJ" is continuously output to the middle reel 3C and the right reel 3R.

  Here, the reel on which the signal "ACOT_AJ" is output eight times is configured to reversely rotate by one design symbol with respect to the reel on which the signal "ACOT_R3" is output eight times at the same time. Therefore, when the fifteenth signal output process is completed, the symbol position data of the left reel 3L and the middle reel 3C have the same value, and the "purple 7" symbol and "BAR" are displayed on the left reel 3L and the middle reel 3C. The symbol and the "GOD" symbol are in parallel, and thereafter the left reel 3L and the middle reel 3C rotate at the same speed.

  Next, the signal "ACOT_R3" is output to the left reel 3L and the middle reel 3C, and the signal "ACOT_AJ" is continuously output to the right reel 3R. Thus, the twenty-third signal output process is completed, and at the time of the twenty-fourth signal output process in which the signal "ACOT_R3" is output to all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R, the symbol position data of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R is All become the same value, "purple 7" symbol, "BAR" symbol and "GOD" symbol are aligned in one row on reels 3L, 3C, 3R.

[Various data tables on secondary control side]
57 to 66 show various data tables stored in the ROM cartridge substrate 86. FIG.

<Overall specialization status summary>
FIG. 57 is a table for explaining each additional specialization state.

  First, the additional specialization state in the present embodiment is an effect state transferred prior to the start of the ART state, and is an effect state for determining the number of AT games as the number of times of continuous games in the ART state. The additional specialization state is transferred by the sub CPU 102 prior to the start of the ART state. The sub CPU 102 performing such a transition constitutes a special effect state transition means. In addition, the specialization special state constitutes a special effect state.

  In addition, in this special state of superscription, each time a predetermined condition (for example, when winning the extra lottery or when a combination of specific symbols is stopped on the pay line, etc.) is established, the predetermined number of games is added as a predetermined number of games The number of times (for example, 10 games to 500 games) is determined, and the sum of all the determined additional game numbers is determined as the above-mentioned AT game number. Such determination of the number of AT games is performed by the sub CPU 102. The sub CPU 102 which performs such processing constitutes the number-of-continuous-games determination means.

  Further, the additional specialization state includes an additional specialization state 1 and an additional specialization state 2 that have different degrees of expectation for determination of a large number of AT games in the process of determining the number of AT games described above. It is

  Specifically, in the additional specialization state 1, the fact that a unit game has been played is a trigger for the establishment of the above-described predetermined condition. That is, in the special additional state 1, the number of additional games is determined based on the internal winning combination and the additional special state 1 lottery table (see FIG. 58) each time a unit game is performed. In addition, the specialization state 1 for the additional game is a unit game of 5 games, and the internal specialization condition for the additional game in the case of internally winning “F_normal ripple”, “F_purple 7 ripple” and “F_BAR lip” after 6 games. Perform a lottery to see if 1 continues. In addition, the number of AT games of at least 10 games is given for each unit game based on the above-mentioned additional specialization state 1 lottery table in the specialization special state 1, and the continuation between five games is determined as described above Therefore, the AT game number of 50 games is given as the minimum guaranteed AT game number. Furthermore, in the additional specialization state 1, push order navigation is not performed. As a result, the middle stop button 19C or the right stop button 19R is not subjected to the first stop operation, and the combo freeze occurrence condition is not satisfied, so that the combo freeze is not generated in the additional specialization state 1.

  In the additional specialization state 2, the combination of specific symbols, for example, "purple 7" and "BAR" being stopped on the pay line is an opportunity to establish the above-mentioned predetermined condition. Therefore, in the special additional state 2, for example, the number of additional games is determined by stopping "purple 7" or "BAR" on the pay line. On the other hand, in the additional specialization state 1, the fact that the combination of the specific symbols as described above is stopped on the pay line is not a trigger for the establishment of the above-mentioned predetermined condition.

  In addition, the specialization special state 2 is composed of two states of the specialization special state 2a and the specialization state 2b, and after 11 games, "F_purple 7 round lip", "F_BAR round lip", "F_ If internal winning is performed in addition to the so-called rare roles such as middle-rip, "F_chance role 1" and "F_chance role 2", a lottery is performed to determine whether or not the additional specialization states 2a and 2b continue. Further, in the additional specialization states 2a and 2b, the number of AT games of 100 games is given as the minimum number of guaranteed AT games. The additional specialization state 2a constitutes a first special effect state, and the additional specialization state 2b constitutes a second special effect state.

  In the special additional state 2a, combo freeze occurs when the internal stop combination "F_normal lip purple 7" is internally won and the first stop operation is performed on the right stop button 19R, and when combo freeze occurs, The number of AT games of 50 games is easily added.

  In the special additional state 2b, a combo freeze occurs when the internal stop combination "F_normal lip BAR" is internally won and the first stop operation is performed on the middle stop button 19C, and 100 occurs when the combo freeze occurs. The number of game AT games is easily added.

  As described above, the specialization state 2 in the additional state is a state in which the expectation to the determination of the number of AT games more than the specialization state 1 in the additional state is high, and the specialization state 2b in the additional state is the specialization state There is a high expectation for the determination of the number of AT games greater than 2a.

<Additional specialization state lottery table>

  The additional specialization state 2 lottery table shown in FIG. 59 is a table to be referred to when executing the combo system lock effect in the additional specialization states 2a and 2b. The probability that the number of AT games added when winning the internal winning combination "F_normal purple 7 lip" is referred to in the additional specialization state 2a, and the probability of winning 50 games is the highest. The probability that the number of AT games when added to the internal winning combination "F_normal BAR lip" is added is referred to in the additional specialization state 2b, and the probability of winning 100 games is the highest.

<Art during lottery table>
The ART-in-ART lottery table shown in FIG. 60 is a table referred to when determining the number of AT games to be added in the lock-on-addition lottery process shown in FIG. It defines the probability that the number of games will be added.

<Normal AT lottery table>
In FIG. 61, in the normal-time AT lottery table, lottery values for each mode are associated with each internal winning combination.

  As shown in FIG. 61, in the normal-time AT lottery table, lottery values different in modes “1” to “5” are associated with each internal winning combination. Here, the “mode” is information defining the probability of winning at AT lottery, and as shown in FIG. 61, the larger the mode, the higher the probability of winning AT lottery. In addition, each mode is configured to be transitionable at a predetermined timing such as at the end of an AT state or at the so-called chance winning of “F_chance combination 1” and “F_chance combination 2”.

<AT lottery table when special conditions are met>
In FIG. 62, when the special condition is satisfied, the AT lottery table defines the probability of winning an AT when each special condition is satisfied.

  As shown in FIG. 62, there are five special conditions: "yellow 7_3 continuous hours", "yellow 7_4 continuous hours", "yellow 7_5 continuous hours", "raa doubles 2 weeks" and "raa triples 3" There are types, and in the normal state, when "Yellow 7" symbol is displayed in the row of the reel display window 4 in three rows or more in a row or three or more times in a row It is established when winning a prize.

<Loop rate lottery table used in the ART addition lottery process>
The loop ratio lottery table used in the added ART lottery processing shown in FIG. 63 is set for each setting value against the loop ratio which is the probability that the added specialization state is added by the added ART lottery processing by the loop ratio after winning the ART. Lottery values are associated with each other.

  As shown in FIG. 63, in the loop rate lottery table used in the superimposing ART lottery process, different lottery values are associated with set values “1” to “6” in the loop rate, and the set value “1” The setting value “6” is easier to be determined as the high probability loop rate than the setting value “6”.

<Variation pattern number pattern table>
In the high probability mode as the special variation zone shown in FIG. 108, the variation symbol number pattern table shown in FIG. 64 associates the variation symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 with the array data. Here, the high probability mode is a secondary gaming state which is executed with reference to the arrangement pattern and the prescribed game number defined in the appearance arrangement pattern table (see FIG. 65), and by the display of the variation symbols 11L, 11C, 11R. It is a sub game state which executes stock lottery of the special state of addition.

  As shown in FIG. 64, each array data has a plurality of variable symbols, and, for example, when the array data "A" is selected, the liquid crystal display device 11 displays "1 to 7" as a variable symbol. One of the numbers is displayed. The arrangement data defined in the fluctuation symbol number pattern table constitutes a predetermined fluctuation pattern in the present embodiment.

<Occurrence array pattern table>
The appearance arrangement pattern table shown in FIG. 65 defines an arrangement pattern in which the variation symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 appear in the high probability mode shown in FIG.

  Here, the arrangement pattern is to determine the variation symbols to be displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 with reference to the variation symbol number pattern table shown in FIG. Here, the variation symbol displayed on the liquid crystal display device 11 is composed of three symbols, the left variation symbol 11L, the middle variation symbol 11C, and the right variation symbol 11R (see FIG. 2), and in the high probability mode described later "3" is always displayed on the variation symbol 11L, and a symbol to be displayed from the arrangement pattern is selected for the middle variation symbol 11C and the right variation symbol 11R.

  For example, in the case of the arrangement pattern "AAB", the variation symbols displayed on the middle variation symbol 11C and the right variation symbol 11R are numbers determined by lottery from "1 to 7" in the first and second games, respectively. Is displayed, and in the third game, numbers determined by lottery from “1 to 5 and 7” are displayed.

<Sub-state flag storage area>
The sub status flag storage area shown in FIG. 66 stores a flag for indicating which gaming status the secondary gaming status is, and has a size of 1 byte.

  Bit 0 of the sub-state flag storage area relates to the ART state, bit 1 relates to the ART ready state, bit 2 relates to the add specialization state, and bit 3 relates to the high probability mode Bit 4 relates to the super-specialization state 1, bit 5 relates to the super-specialization state 2, and bit 6 relates to the end waiting state. Further, in the present embodiment, bit 7 of the sub status flag storage area is unused. Bits 0 to 6 are set to "1" (on) when each gaming state is set.

[Master game state transition]
As shown in FIG. 67, the pachislot machine 1 has a general gaming state (RT0 gaming state), an RT1 gaming state, and an MB gaming state as main gaming states of the main control side controlled by the main control circuit 91.

  The RT0 gaming state is an initial state at the time of shipment of the pachislot machine 1. The main gaming state shifts to the RT0 gaming state when the MB gaming state ends. The RT0 gaming state is a gaming state in which the winning number is lottery based on the internal gaming table for general gaming state (see FIG. 21), and is a replay low probability state in which the winning probability of the replay player who is the replay player is low.

  The main gaming state shifts to the RT1 gaming state when the internal winning combination "F_MB" is won in the RT0 gaming state. The RT1 gaming state is a gaming state in which the winning number is lottery based on the RT1 gaming state internal lottery table (see FIG. 22), and is a replay high probability state in which the probability of winning the replay role is higher than that in the RT0 gaming state.

  Here, the RT1 gaming state is not the RT managed by the number of games, and continues unless the operating symbol of the MB gaming state is won. In that sense, the RT1 gaming state is infinite RT.

  The main gaming state shifts to the MB gaming state when the operating symbol of the MB gaming state in the RT1 gaming state is won. The MB gaming state is a gaming state in which all the small winning combinations are internally won, and ends when the number of payouts exceeds a predetermined number of payouts (34 in the present embodiment).

  In addition, although the details will be described later, the pachislot machine 1 in the present embodiment wins the internal winning combination "F_MB" with high probability in the RT0 gaming state, and wins the operating role in the MB gaming state in the RT1 gaming state. As it becomes difficult, it takes almost RT1 gaming state as the main gaming state.

  Here, in the present embodiment, on the condition that "F_MB" is determined as the internal winning combination as the predetermined bonus combination, the main gaming state is shifted to the bonus flag carryover state, and the combination of symbols related to MB is The main gaming state is shifted from the bonus flag carryover state to the MB gaming state as the bonus gaming state on condition that is displayed on the pay line.

  The main CPU 93 executes the bonus carryover state of the main gaming state and the transition to the MB gaming state. In the MB gaming state of the present embodiment, the number of medals (BET number) and the number of payouts inserted for performing a unit game are set so that the medals (game media) awarded to the player will not increase. It is prescribed. For example, the medals (gaming medium) given to the player can be prevented from increasing by paying two sheets by putting two sheets (two sheets BET).

  Here, in the present embodiment, the RT1 gaming state is set while the main gaming state is in the bonus flag carryover state described above. As described above, by setting the bonus flag carryover state to the RT1 gaming state, the RT state managed by the main control circuit 91 can be effectively made into one state, and the data handled by the main control circuit 91 as compared with the prior art. You can reduce the amount.

[Main control processing]
The main CPU 93 of the main control circuit 91 executes various processes in accordance with the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 68 to 81 and 83 to 87.

<Main control process>
FIG. 68 is a flowchart showing main control processing. The main control process described below starts when the pachi-slot machine 1 is powered on.

  First, when the pachi-slot machine 1 is powered on, the main CPU 93 executes a power-on process shown in FIG. 69 (S10). In the power-on process, it is determined whether the backup is normal or whether the setting has been properly changed, and the initialization process is performed according to the determination result.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes initialization processing at the end of one game (one unit game) (S11). In this initialization process, for example, a storage area designated in advance to be initialized at the end of one game is initialized. By this initialization process, data stored in the internal winning combination storing area and the display combination storing area of the main RAM 95 are cleared.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes medal acceptance / start check processing shown in FIG. 70 (S12). In the medal acceptance / start check process, a process of detecting a medal inserted by a player and a process of detecting a start operation are executed.

  Next, the main CPU 93 extracts three random number values (random number values 1 to 3), and stores them in the random number value storage area allocated to the main RAM 95 (S13). Here, the random number value 1 is a value used for internal lottery processing, and in the present embodiment, it is extracted from 0 to 65535.

  The random numbers 2 and 3 are values used for the other lottery processing, and in the present embodiment, they are extracted from 0 to 65535 and 0 to 255, respectively. The main CPU 93 need not extract the random numbers 2 and 3 in step S13, and may extract them when using the random numbers 2 and 3.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes an internal lottery process shown in FIG. 71 (S14). The main CPU 93 that executes this internal lottery process constitutes an internal winning combination determination means.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes other lottery processing shown in FIG. 72 (S15). The other lottery processing includes lottery processing relating to a spinning drum effect, lottery processing as to whether or not a flag referred to in each spinning drum effect is set to ON, and the like.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes a reel stop initial setting process shown in FIG. 73 (S16). In the reel stop initialization process, each information (for example, stop table number etc.) related to the stop control of the reel is stored in the corresponding area of the main RAM 95 based on the result (internal winning combination) of the internal lottery process.

  Next, the main CPU 93 generates start command data to be transmitted from the main control circuit 91 to the sub control circuit 101, and stores the generated start command data in the communication data storage area allocated to the main RAM 95 (S17).

  The start command data represents, for example, the type of the game state flag, the value of the bonus end number counter, the type of the internal winning combination, the type of the flag related to the lock and the like, and the value of the effect timer.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes wait processing (S18). In this weight processing, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed from the previous game start (the start of the last unit game), and if it is determined that the predetermined time has not elapsed, the predetermined time has elapsed Wait until the waiting time is digested. The predetermined time in this weight processing, that is, the weight time, is set to, for example, 4.1 seconds from the start of the last unit game.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes reel rotation start processing shown in FIG. 74 for rotating all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R in accordance with the number of inserted medals (S19). This reel rotation start process is executed by the interrupt process shown in FIG. This interrupt process is a process that is executed in a fixed cycle (1.1172 ms).

  By this interruption process, the drive of the stepping motor of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R is controlled, and the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is started. Thereafter, the driving of the stepping motors of the respective reels 3L, 3C, 3R is controlled by this interruption processing, and the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is accelerated until the rotation reaches a constant speed.

  Furthermore, when the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R reaches a constant speed, the driving of the stepping motor of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R is controlled by this interruption processing, and the reels 3L, 3C, 3R rotate at a constant speed. To be maintained.

  Next, the main CPU 93 generates reel rotation start command data to be transmitted from the main control circuit 91 to the sub control circuit 101, and stores the generated reel rotation start command data in the communication data storage area allocated to the main RAM 95 S20).

  By receiving the reel rotation start command data, the sub control circuit 101 can recognize the reel rotation start, and can determine the timing and the like of executing various effects.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes an attraction priority storage process (S21). In the drawing priority order storage process, a drawing priority order table selection process shown in FIG. 76 is executed, and the drawing priority order of all the symbols on the rotating reels 3L, 3C, 3R is determined. That is, in the leading priority storage process, stop information is stored in the leading priority data storage area for each symbol position of each rotating reel based on the internal winning combination.

  For example, for each symbol of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R, when the corresponding symbol is the stop permission, the pull-in priority data is stored in the pull-in priority data storage area based on the priority table, and no stop is made. In the case of permission (for example, when a winning combination that is not won is won, etc.), data representing stop prohibition is stored in the drawing priority data storage area.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes a reel stop control process shown in FIG. 79 (S22). By this processing, stop control of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is performed. Next, the main CPU 93 executes a winning search process (S23).

  In this winning search process, after all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R are stopped, the symbol combination displayed on the winning line is compared with the symbol combination table, and the symbol combination displayed on the winning line is determined.

  Specifically, the data stored in the symbol code storage area (see FIG. 31) and the data of the symbol combination table (see FIGS. 17 to 19) are collated, and the collation result is displayed in the display combination storage area (FIG. 30). Stored in

  More specifically, data of the symbol code storage area is copied as it is to the display combination storage area. At that time, the symbol combination table is referred to, and the number of payouts is determined. By this winning a prize search processing, the combination of the symbols displayed on the reel display window 4 is specified as all the reels 3L, 3C, 3R are stopped.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes main effect state transition processing shown in FIG. 81 (S24). In this main effect state transition process, the main effect state determined by the pressing order of the stop buttons 19L, 19C, 19R when winning three bell combinations is set in the main effect state flag storage area (see FIG. 38).

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes reservation lock processing shown in FIG. 83 (S25). In this reservation lock process, when the flag is set in the reserved turning drum effect flag storage area (see FIG. 37), the turning drum effect flag storage area (in order to execute the turning drum effect set in the next game) The flag corresponding to the set revolving drum effect of FIG. 36) is set.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes payout of the number of medals according to the displayed symbol combination based on the result of the winning search process (S26). Along with the medal payout processing, control of the hopper drive circuit (not shown) and update of the credit number are performed based on the payout number counter.

  Next, the main CPU 93 generates winning operation command data to be transmitted from the main control circuit 91 to the sub control circuit 101, and stores the generated winning operation command data in the communication data storage area allocated to the main RAM 95 (S27) . The winning operation command data represents, for example, the type of display combination, a flag relating to a lock, etc., and the number of medals paid out.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes bonus end check processing shown in FIG. 84 (S28). By this bonus end check process, a process of ending the operation of the MB gaming state is executed when the end condition of the MB gaming state is satisfied.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes a bonus operation check process shown in FIG. 85 (S29). By this bonus operation check process, a process of operating the MB gaming state is executed based on the combination of the symbols displayed by the reels 3L, 3C, 3R. After executing the process of step S29, the main CPU 93 executes the process of step S11.

<Power-on process>
FIG. 69 is a flow chart showing a power-on process executed in step S10 of the main control process shown in FIG.

  First, the main CPU 93 determines whether the backup is normal (S40). In this judgment processing, it is judged whether the backup is normal or not by error detection using a checksum value.

  For example, the main CPU 93 stores the setting value of the pachislot machine 1 and the check sum value calculated from the setting value of the pachislot machine 1 in the main RAM 95 as backup data, and the determination process at the time of power on (S40) , And reads the set value etc. and the checksum value stored in the main RAM 95.

  Then, the main CPU 93 compares the checksum value calculated from the read setting value and the like with the checksum value backed up, and determines that the backup is normal if the comparison result matches. .

  If the main CPU 93 determines that the backup is normal (YES), the main CPU 93 sets the backed up setting values and the like (S41). Thereby, when the backup is normal, the setting value before the power-off is set.

  After executing the process of step S41, or when determining that the backup is not normal in step S40 (NO), the main CPU 93 determines whether the setting change switch provided in the cabinet 2a of the pachislot machine 1 is on. It is determined whether or not it is (S42). Here, when determining that the setting change switch is on (YES), the main CPU 93 executes initialization processing at the time of setting change (S43).

  In the initialization process at the time of setting change, for example, data stored in the internal winning combination storing area and the display combination storing area of the main RAM 95 are cleared, and the setting value is cleared.

  Next, the main CPU 93 generates initialization command data to be transmitted from the main control circuit 91 to the sub control circuit 101, and stores the generated initialization command data in the communication data storage area allocated to the main RAM 95 (S44) . The initialization command data represents, for example, the presence or absence of a setting value change and the setting value.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes setting value change processing (S45). In the setting value changing process, the setting value is selected from among 1 to 6 according to the operation result of the reset switch, and the setting value selected when the start lever 23 operated subsequently is operated. Is determined.

  Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether the setting change switch is in the on state (S46), and repeatedly executes the process of step S46 until the determination result in which the setting change switch is not in the on state is obtained.

  Here, if it is determined that the setting change switch is not in the on state (NO), this means that the setting value change processing has been completed, so the main CPU 93 extracts the random value 3, The random number 3 is stored in the random number storage area allocated to the main RAM 95 (S47).

  Next, the main CPU 93 generates initialization command data to be transmitted from the main control circuit 91 to the sub control circuit 101, and stores the generated initialization command data in the communication data storage area allocated to the main RAM 95 (S48) , End processing at power on.

  In step S42, when the main CPU 93 determines that the setting change switch is not on (NO), the main CPU 93 determines whether the backup is normal (S49). Here, if it is determined that the backup is normal (YES), the main CPU 93 restores the state of the pachislot machine 1 to the state before the power failure based on the backup data stored in the main RAM 95 ( S50), the power-on process ends.

  If it is determined in step S49 that the backup is not normal (NO), the main CPU 93 executes power-on error processing (S51). In the power-on error process, the main CPU 93 displays that the backup is not normal by an error display or the like. It should be noted that the main CPU 93 is configured not to release the error state depending on the operation of the stop release switch or the reset switch in the error (backup error) state in which the backup is not normal, and the setting change is newly made. Only when the error condition is to be cleared.

<Medal acceptance and start check processing>
FIG. 70 is a flow chart showing the medal acceptance / start check process executed in step S12 of the main control process shown in FIG.

  First, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not there is an automatic input request (S60). In the case of winning the replay role in the previous unit game, medals are automatically inserted in the current unit game. That is, in the determination process of step S60, it may be determined whether or not a replay combination is won in the previous unit game.

  In step S60, when the main CPU 93 determines that there is an automatic insertion request (YES), the main CPU 93 executes automatic insertion processing for automatically inserting the same number of medals as the medals inserted in the previous unit game (S61). Specifically, the main CPU 93 copies the automatic insertion counter to the insertion number counter and clears the automatic insertion counter.

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 executes medal insertion command transmission processing (S62). In this process, the main CPU 93 generates medal insertion command data to be transmitted from the main control circuit 91 to the sub control circuit 101, and stores the generated medal insertion command data in the communication data storage area allocated to the main RAM 95. Here, the medal insertion command data represents, for example, the presence or absence of medal insertion, the value of the insertion number counter, the value of the credit counter, and the like.

  In step S60, when the main CPU 93 determines that there is no request for automatic insertion (NO), the main CPU 93 permits reception of medals (S63). For example, the main CPU 93 drives a solenoid of a selector (not shown) to form a route so that the medal inserted into the medal insertion slot 21 passes through the inside of the selector.

  In step S60, when the main CPU 93 determines that there is an automatic insertion request (YES), the reception of medals is prohibited from the previous unit game, so processing related to the reception of medals Does not run.

  After the process of step S62 or step S63 is executed, the main CPU 93 sets the maximum value of the number of inserted sheets according to the game state (S64). In the present embodiment, three cards are set in the gaming state other than the MB gaming state in the main gaming state, and two cards are set in the MB gaming state.

  Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not acceptance of medals is permitted (S65). Here, if it is determined that acceptance of medals is permitted (YES), the main CPU 93 executes medal insertion check processing for checking the number of inserted medals (S66). In this medal insertion check process, the value of the insertion number counter is updated according to the number of medals checked.

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 executes medal insertion command transmission processing (S67), generates medal insertion command data to be transmitted from the main control circuit 91 to the sub control circuit 101, and allocates the generated medal insertion command data to the main RAM 95. Store in the stored communication data storage area.

  Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether medals can be inserted or credited (S68). In the present embodiment, the main CPU 93 has 3 inserted sheets in the gaming state other than the MB gaming state as the main gaming state, 2 sheets in the MB gaming state, and 50 credits, or It is determined that medal insertion or credit is not possible when the condition is satisfied, and medal insertion or credit is possible when the condition is not satisfied, on the condition that the automatic insertion process of step S61 is performed. to decide.

  If it is determined in step S68 that the insertion of medals or the credit is not possible (NO), the main CPU 93 prohibits the reception of medals (S69). For example, the main CPU 93 forms a path along which the medal inserted into the medal insertion slot 21 is discharged from the medal payout opening 32 without driving the solenoid of the selector.

  If it is determined in step S65 that acceptance of medals is not permitted (NO), if it is determined in step S68 that medal insertion or credit is possible (YES), or after the process of step S69 is executed. The main CPU 93 determines whether the number of inserted medals is the number that can start the game (S70).

  That is, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the number of inserted medals is the number that can start unit game, according to the gaming state. In the present embodiment, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not there are three inserted medals in the gaming state other than the MB gaming state as the main control gaming state, and in the MB gaming state, the inserted two medals It is determined whether or not

  Here, if it is determined that the number of inserted medals is not the number that can start the game (NO), the main CPU 93 executes the processing of step S65. On the other hand, if it is determined that the number of inserted medals is the number that can start the game (YES), the main CPU 93 determines whether the start switch 79 is on (S71).

  Here, if it is determined that the start switch 79 is not on (NO), the main CPU 93 executes the process of step S65. On the other hand, if it is determined that the start switch 79 is on (YES), the main CPU 93 prohibits medal acceptance (S72), and ends the medal acceptance / start check process.

<Internal lottery process>
FIG. 71 is a flow chart showing an internal lottery process executed in step S14 of the main control process shown in FIG.

  First, the main CPU 93 determines whether the main gaming state is the MB gaming state (S80). This determination process is executed based on whether or not bit 0 of the gaming state flag storage area corresponding to the MB gaming state is "1" with reference to the gaming state flag storage area (see FIG. 35).

  That is, when bit 0 of the gaming state flag storage area is "1", it is determined that the main gaming state is the MB gaming state, and bit 0 of the gaming state flag storage area is "0". It is determined that the main gaming state is not the MB gaming state.

  Here, when the main CPU 93 determines that the main gaming state is the MB gaming state (YES), the main CPU 93 executes processing during MB operation (S81). In the processing during MB operation, the bits corresponding to all the small roles in the display combination storage area (see FIG. 30), that is, all bits of display combination storage areas 1 to 7 and 5 to 7 bits of display combination storage area 0 All updated to "1". When the MB in-operation process is executed, the main CPU 93 ends the internal lottery process.

  On the other hand, when the main CPU 93 determines in step S80 that the main gaming state is not the MB gaming state (NO), the main CPU 93 sets an internal lottery table according to the main gaming state (S82).

  In the present embodiment, when the main gaming state is the normal gaming state, the main CPU 93 sets an internal lottery table (see FIG. 21) for the general gaming state, and the main gaming state is the RT1 gaming state. The RT1 gaming state internal lottery table (see FIG. 22) is set.

  Next, the main CPU 93 acquires the random number 1 stored in the random number storage area (S83). Next, the main CPU 93 refers to the predetermined area of the internal lottery table set in step S82, and selects the lottery value associated with each winning number (1 to 43 in the present embodiment) of the corresponding setting value. Are acquired one by one, and the lottery value is subtracted from the random number 1 (S84). That is, the main CPU 93 checks the internal winning combination.

  Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether the subtraction result in the process of step S84 is smaller than 0 (S85). Here, if the main CPU 93 determines that the subtraction result is not smaller than 0 (NO), that is, if it determines that so-called borrowing is not performed, the random number 1 and the winning number are updated (S86) ).

  Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not all winning numbers in the internal lottery table being used have been checked (S87), and if it is determined that all winning numbers have not been checked (NO) , And execute the process of step S84.

  On the other hand, when determining that all the winning numbers have been checked (YES), the main CPU 93 sets 0 as the value of the data pointer (S88). In the present embodiment, since the internal lottery table for the RT1 gaming state is set such that the subtraction result is not necessarily 0 or more when the main CPU 93 finishes checking all winning numbers, step S 88 is performed. It will not be executed.

  In step S85, when the main CPU 93 determines that the subtraction result is smaller than 0 (YES), that is, when it is determined that so-called borrowing has been performed, the winning number is referred to with reference to the set internal lottery table. The value of the data pointer for small part and replay and the value of the data pointer for bonus are acquired from S (S89).

  After executing the processing of step S88 or step S89, the main CPU 93 refers to the internal winning combination determination table for small bonus replay (refer to FIG. 18), and based on the value of the data pointer for small winning combination / replay, the internal winning combination To obtain (S90).

  In the process of step S90, a data indicating an internal winning combination corresponding to the value of the small winning combination / replay data pointer acquired in the processing of step S88 or step S89 with reference to the small winning combination / replay internal winning combination determination table The value is determined.

  Next, the main CPU 93 stores the internal winning combination obtained in step S90 in the internal winning combination storing area (see FIG. 29) (S91). In the process of step S91, a data value indicating the internal winning combination determined in the process of step S90 is stored in the internal winning combination storing area (storage areas 1 to 6).

  Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether the value of the carryover combination storage area (see FIG. 34) is 0 or not (S92). In the present embodiment, in this determination process, it is determined whether "F_MB" is not carried over.

  In step S92, when the main CPU 93 determines that the value of the carryover combination storage area is 0 (YES), it refers to the bonus internal winning combination determination table (see FIG. 13), and the value of the bonus data pointer The internal winning combination is obtained based on (S93).

  In the process of step S93, a bonus internal winning combination determination table is referred to, and a data value indicating an internal winning combination corresponding to the value of the bonus data pointer acquired in the process of step S88 or step S89 is determined.

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 stores the internal winning combination obtained in step S93 in the carryover combination storage area (see FIG. 34) (S94). In the process of step S94, when "F_MB" is acquired as the internal winning combination in step S93, bit 0 corresponding to "F_MB" of the carryover storage area is set to "1".

  Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether the value of the carryover combination storage area (see FIG. 34) is 0 or not (S95). In this determination process, it is determined in step S94 whether bit 0 corresponding to "F_MB" of the carryover storage area is set to "1".

  If it is determined in step S95 that the value of the carryover combination storage area is not 0 (NO), the main CPU 93 selects bit 2 corresponding to "RT1 gaming state" in the gaming state flag storage area (see FIG. 35). It is set to "1" (S96). By the process of step S96, the main gaming state becomes the RT1 gaming state.

  If it is determined in step S92 that the value of the carryover combination storage area is not 0 (NO), if it is determined in step S95 that the value of the carryover combination storage area is 0 (YES), or after the processing of step S96 is executed. The main CPU 93 updates the internal winning combination storing area based on the internal winning combination stored in the carryover combination storing area (S97).

  In the process of step S97, the data value of the internal winning combination storing area (see FIG. 29) is updated based on the type of the internal winning combination stored in the carryover combination storing area (see FIG. 34). After executing the process of step S97, the main CPU 93 ends the internal lottery process.

<Other lottery process>
FIG. 72 is a flow chart showing the other lottery process executed in step S15 of the main control process shown in FIG.

  First, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not the so-called all-turn combination of "F_total rotation lip 1" or "F_total rotation lip 2" has been won (S100). In this judgment processing, referring to the internal winning combination storing area (refer to FIG. 29), bit 7 of the internal winning combination storing area 5 corresponding to all rotation combinations or bit 0 of the internal winning combination storing area 6 is “1”. It is executed based on whether or not it exists.

  That is, when bit 7 of internal winning combination storing area 5 or bit 0 of internal winning combination storing area 6 is “1”, it is determined that the internal winning combination is all rotating combination, and internal winning combination storing area 5 If bit 7 of bit 0 or bit 0 of the internal winning combination storing area 6 is "0", it is determined that the internal winning combination is not a full rotation combination.

  If it is determined in the process of step S100 that the internal winning combination is a full rotation combination (YES), the main CPU 93 determines from the rotating drum effect number set in the rotating drum effect flag storage area (see FIG. 36). Also, the turning drum effect numbers ("9" to "11") corresponding to the full rotation lock effect are preferentially set in the turning drum effect flag storage area (S101), and the other lottery processing is ended. By this processing, when the main CPU 93 wins the full rotation combination, the main CPU 93 preferentially executes the full rotation lock effect even if another turn drum effect is set.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S100 that all the winning combinations have not been won (NO), the main CPU 93 determines whether the current main effect state is the main effect state 2 (S102). In this process, the main CPU 93 determines whether bit 2 of the main effect state flag storage area is “1” with reference to the main effect state flag storage area (see FIG. 38).

FIGS. 82 (a) to 82 (h) are 1 byte (8 bits) data indicating a batting order area to be updated in the main effect state transition process and a modification example of each bit at the time of updating the batting order area.

  First, the main CPU 93 determines whether the internal winning combination is a combination of three bells (S250). In this process, when it is determined that the internal winning combination is not a 3-bell combination (NO), the main CPU 93 ends the main effect state transition process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S250 that the internal winning combination is a 3-piece bell combination (YES), the main CPU 93 determines whether the left stop button 19L has been subjected to the first stop operation, ie, the third It is determined whether or not the stop operation has been performed in the pushing order (first left stop) (S251). In this process, when it is determined that the left stop button 19L is subjected to the first stop operation (YES), the main CPU 93 clears the main effect state flag storage area (see FIG. 38) and the batting order area. The bit 0 corresponding to is set to "1", the output of the external signal is turned off (S252), and the main effect state transition process is ended.

  Therefore, the main effect state set in the main effect state flag storage area on condition that the first stop operation of the left stop button 19L is performed, that is, the third pressing order (first left stop) is performed. 1 or initialize the main effect state 2 (clear). In other words, the bit 1 corresponding to the main effect state 1 or the main effect state 2 is set to “0”, and the bit 0 corresponding to the main effect state 0 is set to “1”.

  As a result, when the ART state managed by the sub control circuit 101 ends, the main control circuit is won by winning the 3-bell combination and executing the third pushing order (first left stop). The 91 side can grasp that the ART state has ended. Also, when the external signal 1 or 2 is turned on, the external signal that is turned on is turned off.

  When the left stop button 19L is stopped for the first time and the 3-bell symbol combination is not made by the process of step S252, the main CPU 93 shifts from the ART standby state in the secondary gaming state to the ART preparation state from the end standby state The main effect state can be cleared along with the change, and when the sub game state shifts to the additional specialization state again, the change in the sub game state can be made to correspond to the main effect state, and the sub game state is It is possible to execute a revolving drum effect corresponding to the transitioned specialization state of the additional.

  In the process of step S251, when it is determined that the left stop button 19L is not subjected to the first stop operation (NO), the main CPU 93 sets the value currently stored in each bit of the batting order area to two bits. It stores in the left bit (S253). In this processing, for example, as shown in FIG. 82C, when “00000010” is stored in the current batting order area, the main CPU 93 sets the value stored in each bit to the left by 2 bits. And the batting area is updated to "00001000" as shown in FIG. 82 (d).

  Further, when the main CPU 93 determines that the left stop button 19L is not subjected to the first stop operation, for example, the external signal 2 is maintained in the on state when the external signal 2 is in the on state. Therefore, when the external signal 2 is turned on, the main CPU 93 does not switch external signals until the third bell order is won and the third pushing order (first left stop) is executed. . That is, the main CPU 93 maintains the output of the external signal 2. Thus, the end of the ART state managed by the sub control circuit 101 can be grasped by the main control circuit 91.

  Next, the main CPU 93 adds 1 to the current batting order area (S254). This processing is to execute processing of adding 1 to bit 1 of the batting area, and, for example, as shown in FIG. 82 (a), when "00000000" is stored in the batting area, the batting area is One is added, and as shown in FIG. 82 (b), the batting area is updated to "00000001".

  Next, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not each stop button 19L, 19C, 19R stop operation order is the stop operation order defined in each internal winning combination (S255). In this process, the main CPU 93 refers to the batting order determination table (see FIG. 40) and determines whether or not the stopping operation is performed in the stopping operation order defined in each internal winning combination, that is, the batting order judgment result is “ It is determined whether it is "O" or "X".

  If it is determined in the process of step S255 that the result of the batting order determination is the pushing order defined as "o" (YES), the main CPU 93 adds 1 to the current batting order area (S256). In this processing, processing for adding 1 to bit 1 of the batting area is executed. For example, as shown in FIG. 82 (b), when "00000001" is stored in the batting area, as shown in FIG. As shown in c), 1 is added to the batting area, and the batting area is updated to "00000010".

  After executing the process of step S256 or when determining in the process of step S255 that the result of the batting order determination is the pushing order prescribed in "x" (NO), the main CPU 93 stores it in the batting order area. It is determined whether the value of the bit being processed is 10 (S257). In this process, the main CPU 93 determines whether the value of the bit in the batting area is 10, that is, as shown in FIG. 82 (h), the batting area is “00001010”.

  If it is determined in the process of step S 257 that the value of the bit in the batting area is 10 (YES), the main CPU 93 sets the main effect state 2 in the main effect state flag storage area, and turns on the external signal 2. Then (S258), the main effect state transition process is ended. In this process, the main CPU 93 changes the main effect state to the main effect state 2 to recognize that the secondary gaming state is the ART state, and turns on the external signal 2.

  Thereby, the main CPU 93 transmits an external signal 2 capable of recognizing from the outside that the sub gaming state is the ART state from the main control board 71 to the external concentrated terminal board 47, and via the external concentrated terminal board 47, The information is output to an external device such as an information display device or a hall computer connected to the pachislot machine 1.

  If it is determined in the process of step S257 that the value of the bit in the batting area is not 10 (NO), the main CPU 93 determines whether the value of the bit stored in the batting area is 5 or more and less than 10. It judges (S259). In this process, the main CPU 93 determines that the value of the bit in the batting area is 5 or more and less than 10, that is, the batting area is "00000101", "00000110" or "00001001" as shown in FIGS. By determining whether or not it is, it is determined whether or not a prize has been awarded twice for three bells.

  If it is determined in the process of step S259 that the value of the bit in the batting order area is less than 5 (NO), the main CPU 93 ends the main effect state transition process. On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S259 that the value of the bit in the batting area is 5 or more and less than 10 (YES), the main CPU 93 sets the main effect state 1 in the main effect state flag storage area, The external signal 1 is turned on (S260), and the main effect state transition process is ended. In this process, the main CPU 93 sets the main effect state to the main effect state 1 to recognize that the sub gaming state is the additional specialization state, and turns on the external signal 1.

  Thereby, the main CPU 93 transmits an external signal 1 capable of recognizing from the outside that the sub gaming state is the additional specialization state from the main control board 71 to the external concentrated terminal board 47, and via the external concentrated terminal board 47. Output to an external device such as an information display device connected to the pachislot machine 1 or a hall computer.

  The main CPU 93 determines whether or not the three-bell combination has won twice as a predetermined number of times in the pressing order including at least the pressing order A (“x”) by each process of step S257 and step S259 described above. It can be determined whether or not the three-bell combination has won a predetermined number of times twice with "O". The main CPU 93 that performs such determination constitutes a push order determination unit.

  Further, when it is determined that the three-bell combination has won twice in the pressing order including at least the pressing order A (“x”) by the above determination, the main CPU 93 changes the main effect state to the main effect state 1 Set Here, the main effect state 1 constitutes a first main effect state. On the other hand, the main CPU 93 sets the main effect state to the main effect state 2 when it is determined that the three-bell symbol combination is won twice in the push order B (“o”) as a result of the above determination. Here, the main effect state 2 constitutes a second main effect state. Further, when the main effect state is set to the main effect state 2, the main CPU 93 is configured not to shift the main effect state to other than the main effect state 0.

  Further, the main CPU 93 switches an external signal to be output to an external device such as an information display device or a hall computer connected to the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the result of the determination. Specifically, the main CPU 93 switches to the external signal 1 when the main effect state 1 is set as a result of the above determination, and switches to the external signal 2 when the main effect state 2 is set. The main CPU 93 that switches such external signals constitutes external signal switching means.

<Reservation lock process>
FIG. 83 is a flowchart showing reservation lock processing executed in step S25 of the main control processing shown in FIG.

  First, the main CPU 93 determines whether or not there is a flag set in the reserved rotation effect flag storage area (see FIG. 37) (S270). In this process, when it is determined that there is no flag set in the reserved rotation effect flag storage area (NO), the main CPU 93 ends the reservation lock process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S270 that there is a flag set in the reserved rotating drum effect flag storage area (YES), the main CPU 93 determines that the set flag corresponds to the combo system lock effect. It is determined whether it is a flag (S271).

  If it is determined in step S 271 that the flag corresponding to the combo system lock effect is set (YES), the main CPU 93 corresponds to the combo system lock effect set in the reserved turning drum effect flag storage area The turn drum effect number to be set is set in the turn drum effect flag storage area (see FIG. 36) (S272), and the reservation lock processing is ended. By this processing, the main CPU 93 can execute the combo system lock effect set in the reserved rotation effect flag storage area in the next game.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the flag corresponding to the combo system lock effect is not set in the process of step S 271 (NO), the main CPU 93 determines that the rotating drum effect “dejab single shot” is in the reserved rotation effect flag storage area. Or, since "Dejab continuous" is set, a rotating drum effect number corresponding to the rotating drum effect "dujab single shot" or "dejab continuous" is set in the rotating drum effect flag storage area (S273), and the reservation lock processing is performed. Finish. By this processing, the main CPU 93 can execute the spinning drum effect “dejab single shot” or “dejab continuation” which has been set in the reserved spinning drum effect flag storage area, in the next game.

<Bonus end check processing>
FIG. 84 is a flowchart showing the bonus end check process executed in step S28 of the main control process shown in FIG.

  First, the main CPU 93 determines whether the MB is in operation (S280). In this process, when bit 0 of the gaming state flag storage area (see FIG. 35) is "1", it is determined that the MB is in operation, and bit 0 of the gaming state flag storage area is "0". It is determined that the MB is not in operation.

  Here, if it is determined that the MB is not in operation (NO), the main CPU 93 ends the bonus end check process. On the other hand, when determining that the MB is in operation (YES), the main CPU 93 executes CB end processing (S281). In this CB end process, bit 1 of the gaming state flag storage area is reset to "0".

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 updates the bonus end number counter representing the remaining payout number (S 282), and determines whether the value of the bonus end number counter is less than 0 (S 283).

  Here, if it is determined that the value of the bonus end number counter is not less than 0 (NO), the main CPU 93 ends the bonus end check process. On the other hand, when determining that the value of the bonus end number counter is less than 0, the main CPU 93 performs an MB end process (S284). In the MB end process, bit 0 of the gaming state flag storage area is reset to "0".

  Subsequently, the main CPU 93 executes bonus end command transmission processing (S285), and ends the bonus end check processing. In this process, the main CPU 93 generates bonus end command data to be transmitted from the main control circuit 91 to the sub control circuit 101, and stores the generated bonus end command data in the communication data storage area allocated to the main RAM 95. Here, the bonus end command data indicates, for example, that the bonus has ended.

<Bonus operation check process>
FIG. 85 is a flowchart showing the bonus operation check process executed in step S29 of the main control process shown in FIG.

  First, the main CPU 93 determines whether the MB is in operation (S290). In this process, if bit 0 of the gaming state flag storage area is "1", it is determined that the MB is in operation, and if bit 0 of the gaming state flag storage area is "0", the MB is It is determined that it is not in operation.

  Here, if it is determined that the MB is in operation (YES), the main CPU 93 executes a CB operation process (S291), and ends the bonus operation check process. In the CB operation process, bit 1 of the gaming state flag storage area is set to "1".

  On the other hand, when determining that the MB is not in operation (NO), the main CPU 93 determines whether the MB has won (S292). Here, when it is determined that the MB has won, the main CPU 93 executes MB operation processing (S293).

  In the MB operation process, bit 0 of the gaming state flag storage area is set to "1", 30 for example is set to the bonus end number counter, and the bit of the gaming state flag storage area is set to "1".

  Next, the main CPU 93 clears the value of the carryover combination storage area (S294), executes bonus start command transmission processing (S295), and ends the bonus operation check processing. In this process, the main CPU 93 generates bonus start command data to be transmitted from the main control circuit 91 to the sub control circuit 101, and stores the generated bonus start command data in the communication data storage area allocated to the main RAM 95.

  If it is determined in step S 292 that the MB has not won, the main CPU 93 determines whether replay is displayed (S 296).

  Here, when it is determined that the replay is not displayed (NO), the main CPU 93 ends the bonus operation check process. On the other hand, when it is determined that the replay is displayed (YES), the main CPU 93 makes an automatic insertion request to copy the value of the insertion number counter to the automatic insertion number counter (S297), and ends the bonus operation check processing.

<Interrupt process by control of main CPU>
FIG. 86 is a flowchart showing an interrupt process under the control of the main CPU 93. This process is performed every 1.1172 milliseconds.

  First, the main CPU 93 saves the register (S300). Next, the main CPU 93 executes an input port check process shown in FIG. 87 (S301). In this process, the main CPU 93 confirms the presence or absence of a signal to be transmitted to the sub control circuit 101.

  For example, the main CPU 93 stores, in the communication data storage area of the main RAM 95, input state command data representing information on the on edge of the start switch 79 and on and off edges of various switches including the off edge.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes timer update processing (S302). Next, the main CPU 93 executes an effect timer update process (S303).

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes reel control processing for controlling the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R (S304). More specifically, the main CPU 93 starts to rotate the reels 3L, 3C, 3R in response to a request to start the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R, that is, the reels at a constant speed. Control is performed so that 3L, 3C and 3R rotate. Further, the main CPU 93 performs control so that the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R corresponding to the stop operation is stopped in response to the stop operation.

  Next, the main CPU 93 executes lamp / 7SEG driving processing (S305). For example, the main CPU 93 displays the number of medals credited, the number of payouts, and the like on various display units. Next, the main CPU 93 restores the register (S306), and ends the regularly occurring interrupt processing.

<Input port check process>
FIG. 87 is a flow chart showing an input port check process executed in step S301 of the interrupt process under the control of the main CPU 93.

  First, the main CPU 93 checks the state of each input port (S310). Next, the main CPU 93 stores the previous interrupt, that is, the state of the input port before one interrupt in the main RAM 95 (S311), and stores the current state of the input port in the main RAM 95 (S312).

  Thus, by allowing the state of the input port before one interrupt to be compared with the state of the current input port, the main CPU 93 can check the states of both input ports. Thus, it is checked whether there is a change in the state of the input port, for example, whether or not the BET button 22 has been pressed.

  Next, the main CPU 93 stores the on-edge state in the main RAM 95 (S313). In the present embodiment, the on-edge refers to the state in which the button is pressed, and the off-edge refers to the state in which the button is released.

  Next, the main CPU 93 generates input state command data to be transmitted from the main control circuit 91 to the sub control circuit 101, and stores the generated input state command data in the communication data storage area allocated to the main RAM 95 (S314) End input port check processing.

[External concentrated terminal board]
As shown in FIG. 88, an external concentrated terminal plate 47 is connected to the output terminal 71a of the main control board 71 via a plurality of electric cables. The external concentration terminal board 47 receives signals from the main control circuit 91 such as the number of inserted / paid-out medals, the number of times played, the operation status information of the gaming state, etc., and outputs those signals via the input terminal 47a. It outputs to the external display which displays the number of times of games, the number of times of ART operation, etc. from the terminal 47b, or the host computer of the game arcade. The external indicator is installed, for example, above the pachislot machine 1 and updates the display in conjunction with the progress of the number of games and the ART operation, or notifies the ART operation with a lamp or the like.

  Here, the medal insertion signal is a signal that enables recognition of the medal insertion, and is output when the start lever 23 is operated. The medal payout signal is a signal that makes it possible to recognize medal payout or replay, and is output at the time of medal payout (including credit storage) or replaying operation.

  External signal 1 is a signal that enables external recognition that the secondary gaming state is the additional specialization state, and in the main effect state transition process (see FIG. 82), the main effect state flag storage area (see FIG. 38). ) Is output after the main effect state 1 is set.

  The external signal 2 is a signal that makes it possible to recognize from the outside that the secondary gaming state is the ART state, and in the main effect state transition processing (see FIG. 82), in the main effect state flag storage area (see FIG. 38) It is output after the main effect state 2 is set.

  The external signals 3 and 4 are signals that enable recognition of an RWM error (that is, when backup is not normal at power on), and are output at the time of initialization processing at power on. The security signal is a signal capable of recognizing when an error occurs (for example, medal clogging etc.), when the door is opened, when the setting is changed, etc., and is output when each event occurs.

<Animation task>
FIG. 96 is a flow chart showing the animation task activated in step S352 of the mother task shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 102 checks the change with the previous game information (S390). Specifically, the sub CPU 102 is the game information in which the current game information updated by the interrupt process under control of the main CPU 93 shown in FIG. 86 is registered in the sub RAM 103 in the interrupt process up to the previous time. It is checked whether it is different game information or not.

<Determination content determination processing>
FIG. 97 is a flowchart showing an effect content determination process executed in step S380 of the command analysis process shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether an initialization command has been received (S400). Here, if it is determined that the initialization command has been received (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes the initialization command reception process (S401), and ends the effect content determination process. In the initialization command reception process, for example, effect data based on the information transmitted as the initialization command is set.

  On the other hand, when determining that the initialization command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the medal insertion command has been received (S402). Here, if it is determined that the medal insertion command has been received (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes a medal insertion command reception process (S403), and ends the effect content determination process. In the medal insertion command reception process, for example, effect data based on the information transmitted as the medal insertion command is set.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the medal insertion command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether the start command has been received (S404). Here, if it is determined that the start command has been received (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes the start command reception process shown in FIG. 98 (S405), and ends the effect content determination process. In the start command reception process, for example, effect data is set based on the information transmitted as the start command.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the start command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the reel rotation start command has been received (S406). Here, if it is determined that the reel rotation start command has been received (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes a reel rotation start command reception process (S407), and ends the effect content determination process. In the reel rotation start command reception process, for example, effect data is set based on the information transmitted as the reel rotation start command.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the reel rotation start command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether the reel stop command has been received (S408). Here, if it is determined that the reel stop command has been received (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes a reel stop command reception process (S409), and ends the effect content determination process. In the reel stop command reception process, for example, transmission of the type of stop reel, the stop start position, the number of sliding symbols, or the planned stop position is performed.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the reel stop command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the winning operation command has been received (S410). Here, if it is determined that a winning operation command has been received (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes a winning operation command reception process (S411), and ends the effect content determination process. In the prize activation command reception process, for example, effect data is set based on information transmitted as a prize actuation command.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the winning operation command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the bonus start command has been received (S412). Here, if it is determined that the bonus start command has been received (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes bonus start command reception processing (S413), and ends the effect content determination processing. In the bonus start command reception process, for example, effect data is set based on the information transmitted as the bonus start command.

  On the other hand, when determining that the bonus start command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the bonus end command has been received (S414). Here, if it is determined that the bonus end command has been received (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes bonus end command reception processing (S415), and ends the effect content determination processing. In the bonus end command reception process, for example, effect data based on the information transmitted as the bonus end command is set.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the bonus end command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the input state command has been received (S416). Here, if it is determined that the input state command has been received (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes an input state command reception process (S417), and ends the effect content determination process.

  In the input state command reception process, for example, the main CPU 93 transmits, as an input state command, whether each operation unit is in the on-edge state or in the off-edge state. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S416 that the input state command has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the effect content determination process.

<Process when receiving start command>
FIG. 98 is a flowchart showing a start command reception process executed in step S405 of the effect content determination process shown in FIG. In the following description, setting a state (flag) in a storage area means setting a bit corresponding to the state (flag) to be set in the storage area to “1” (on).

  First, the sub CPU 102 extracts effect random number values, and stores the extracted effect random number values in the effect random number value storage area of the sub RAM 103 (S420). Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether an end standby state is set in the sub state flag storage area (see FIG. 66) (S421).

  If it is determined in the process of step S422 that the termination standby state is set (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes termination standby processing (S422), and terminates the start command reception processing. Here, in the end standby process, the sub CPU 102 causes the player to perform the first stop operation of the left stop button 19L by not executing the push navigation when the 3 bell award is won, and the main effect state transition process (see FIG. 81). ), The main effect state is cleared.

  If it is determined in the process of step S421 that the end standby state is not set (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether the high probability mode is set in the sub state flag storage area (S423). . In this process, if it is determined that the high probability mode is set (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes the high probability mode process (S424), and ends the start command reception process. Here, in the high probability mode processing, the sub CPU 102 executes the high probability mode in which the number of sets of the additional specialization state is easily added during a predetermined number of games.

  If it is determined in the process of step S423 that the high probability mode is not set (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether the ART state is set in the sub state flag storage area (S425). In this process, if it is determined that the ART state is set (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes the ART state process (S426), and ends the start command reception process. Here, in the ART state process, the sub CPU 102 notifies the pushing order of winning the 15-bell bell prize at the time of winning the 15-bell bell during the number of AT games determined by each additional specialization state.

  In the process of step S425, when it is determined that the ART state is not set (NO), sub CPU 102 determines whether the additional specialization state is set in the sub state flag storage area (S427). . In this process, if it is determined that the additional specialization state is set (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes the additional specialization state process (S428), and ends the start command reception process. Here, in the additional specialization state processing, the sub CPU 102 randomly determines whether to add the number of AT games to the minimum guaranteed number of games or more.

  If it is determined in the process of step S 427 that the additional specialization state is not set (NO), sub CPU 102 determines whether the ART preparation state is set in the sub state flag storage area (S 429). ). In this process, if it is determined that the ART preparation state is set (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes the ART preparation state processing (S430), and ends the start command reception process. Here, in the ART preparation state processing, the sub CPU 102 notifies the pressing order of winning the three bell combination at the time of winning the three bell combination, and causes the main CPU 93 to change the main effect state of the main gaming state.

  If it is determined in the process of step S429 that the ART preparation state is not set (NO), the sub CPU 102 executes the ART lottery process (S431), and ends the start command reception process. Here, in the ART lottery processing, the sub CPU 102 randomly determines whether or not to shift to the ART state.

<ART lottery processing>
FIG. 99 is a flow chart showing an ART lottery process executed in step S431 of the start command reception process shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the ART final combination is won (S440). In this process, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the "F_GOD1" or "F_GOD2" which is the ART final combination is won. Do.

  In the process of step S440, when it is determined that the ART determination combination is not won (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether the condition for receiving the ART lottery is satisfied (S441). Here, the conditions for receiving ART lottery include that each internal winning combination shown in the normal AT lottery table (see FIG. 61) has been won, and each special condition shown in the AT lottery table (see FIG. 62) when special conditions are satisfied. And the fact that

  If it is determined in the process of step S441 that the condition for receiving ART lottery is not satisfied (NO), sub CPU 102 ends the ART lottery process. On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S441 that the condition for receiving ART lottery is satisfied (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes ART lottery (S442). In this process, when the sub CPU 102 satisfies the conditions by winning each internal winning combination shown in the normal AT lottery table, the ART CPU performs the ART lottery with reference to the normal AT lottery table, and the special condition is established. When the special condition is satisfied, the ART lottery is executed with reference to the AT lottery table.

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not it has been won by ART lottery (S443). In this process, if it is determined that the ART lottery has not been won (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the ART lottery process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that ART lottery has been won in the process of step S443 (YES), and if it is determined that an ART winning combination has been won in the process of step S440 (YES), sub CPU 102 loops The loop rate used in the rate addition ART lottery processing (see FIG. 103) is determined based on the loop rate random determination table (see FIG. 63) in the addition AT state (S444).

  Thereby, the transition to the ART state as the specific effect state is decided. Each condition (YES in step S443 and YES in step S440) under which transition to such an ART state is determined constitutes a plurality of types of specific conditions. Therefore, the sub CPU 102 information of an advantageous stop operation related to the awarding of a medal (gaming medium) on condition that one of a plurality of specific conditions set in advance is established during the RT1 gaming state. It shifts to the ART state where is notified. The sub CPU 102 performing such control constitutes a specific effect state transition means. The ART state continues until the number of AT games reaches zero.

  Further, when the process of step S444 is executed, the sub CPU 102 causes the liquid crystal display device 11 to display "3" on each of the fluctuation symbols 11L, 11C, and 11R. As described above, when a plurality of specific conditions for determining the transition to the ART state are satisfied, the liquid crystal display device 11 is displayed so as to stop all the variation symbols 11L, 11C, 11R as "3" as the specific aspect. The sub CPU 102 to control constitutes an image display control means.

  Next, the sub CPU 102 selects the additional specialization state (S445). In this process, the sub CPU 102 selects one of the additional specialization state 1, the additional specialization state 2a, and the additional specialization state 2b based on the internal winning combination triggered by the winning of ART.

  That is, the sub CPU 102 is based on the type of the specific condition established during the RT1 gaming state (here, the internal winning combination that triggered the winning of the ART), and the specialization state of special addition 1 and the specialization of special addition as a specialization state of special addition. The rendering state is shifted to one of the state 2.

  The sub CPU 102 is configured such that the selection probability of each additional specialization state is different depending on the internal winning combination, and, for example, the additional specialization state when winning the ART lottery with "F_ middle yellow 7". The probability that 2b is selected is high. Further, in the present embodiment, based on the internal winning combination that has triggered the winning of ART, it is decided which additional specialization state is to be made, but not limited to this, for example, each transition to ART state is decided Depending on the conditions, it may be determined which superimposition specialization state is to be made.

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the selected additional specialization state is the additional specialization state 1 (S446). In this process, if it is determined that the selected additional specialization state is the additional specialization state 1 (YES), the sub CPU 102 sets the additional specialization state 1 in the sub state flag storage area (S447). , "5" is set to the number of additional specialization state 1 guaranteed games (S448).

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the selected additional specialization state is not the additional specialization state 1 (NO), the sub CPU 102 sets the additional specialization state 2 in the sub state flag storage area (S449). "10" is set to the number of standardized state 2 guaranteed games (S450).

  After performing the processing of step S448 or step S450, the sub CPU 102 sets the ART preparation state in the sub state flag storage area (S451), and ends the ART lottery processing.

<ART preparation process>
FIG. 100 is a flow chart showing an ART preparation state process executed in step S430 of the start command reception process shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 102 executes an addition ART lottery process with a loop rate (S460). In this process, whether or not the sub CPU 102 uses the loop rate of the added ART lottery determined in the ART lottery process (see FIG. 99) to add the number of times an ART state having a predetermined number of AT games is executed. Perform a lottery of

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the main effect state is the main effect state 0 (S461). In this process, when it is determined that the main effect state is not the main effect state 0 (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the ART preparation state process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the main effect state is the main effect state 0 (YES), the sub CPU 102 determines whether the internal winning combination is a 15-piece bell combination (S462). In this process, if it is determined that the internal winning combination is a 15-piece bell combination (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes push-by-step navigation capable of winning the 15-piece bell combination (S463), and the ART preparation is made. End state processing.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the internal winning combination is not the 15-bell combination (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether the internal winning combination is the 3-bell combination (S464). In this process, if it is determined that the internal winning combination is not a 3-bell combination (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the ART preparation lottery process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S464 that the internal winning combination is three bells (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes the main effect state transition navigation process (S465), and the ART preparation state process is performed. finish. Here, in the main effect state transition navigation process, the sub CPU 102 does not perform the first stop operation of the left stop button 19L in the main effect state transition process (see FIG. 81), so that the push order navigation for winning the three bell combination is performed. Run.

<Main effect state transition navigation process>
FIG. 101 is a flowchart showing the main effect state transition navigation process executed in step S465 of the ART preparation state process shown in FIG. 100 and step S559 of the ART state process shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the ART state is set in the sub state flag storage area (S470). In this process, when it is determined that the ART state is not set (NO), the sub CPU 102 performs a push order navigation in which the result of the batting order determination becomes “x” in each internal winning combination of three bells. Execute (S471). That is, after any of a plurality of types of specific conditions which are the respective conditions (YES in step S443 and YES in step S440) under which the transition to the ART state is determined, the sub CPU 102 transitions to the additional specialization state Before, when the 3-bell combination is determined as the internal winning combination, the pushing order A ("x") is pushed and the player is notified by the order navigation. The sub CPU 102 that performs such notification constitutes push order A notification means.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S470 that the ART state is set (YES), the sub CPU 102 determines that the result of the batting order determination is "o" in each internal winning combination of three bells. The push order navigation is executed (S472). That is, after the start of the ART state, when the three-bell combination is determined as the internal winning combination, the sub CPU 102 pushes the push order B (“o”) and notifies the player by the order navigation. The sub CPU 102 that performs such notification constitutes push order B notification means.

  After executing the processing of step S471 or step S472, the sub CPU 102 adds 1 to the main effect state transition navigation count allocated to the main RAM 95 (S473).

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the value stored in the main effect state transition navigation count is 2 (S474). By this processing, the sub CPU 102 can determine whether or not the main effect state transition navigation processing has been executed twice. That is, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the notification of the pressing order A (“x”) or the pressing order B (“o”) has been notified a predetermined number of times (twice).

  If it is determined in the process of step S 474 that the value stored in the main effect state transition navigation count is not 2 (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the main effect state transition navigation process. On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S474 that the value stored in the main effect state transition navigation count is 2 (YES), the sub CPU 102 sets the ART state in the sub state flag storage area. It is determined whether or not there is (S475).

  If it is determined in the process of step S475 that the ART state is set (YES), the sub CPU 102 ends the main effect state transition navigation process. On the other hand, if it is determined that the ART state is not set (NO), the sub CPU 102 sets the additional specialization state in the sub state flag storage area (S476).

  That is, the sub CPU 102 shifts the rendering state to the specialization state on condition that the push order A (“x”) is notified twice when the three-bell combination is determined as the internal winning combination. Here, it is assumed that push order A ("x") is notified twice, but except when push order B ("o") is notified twice, that is, the result of batting order judgment is "x × The above condition may be that the order of pressing has been notified in the order of “or ×”, that is, in the order including at least the order of pressing A (“x”) of the two notifications.

  Next, the sub CPU 102 resets the ART preparation state of the sub state flag storage area (S477), resets the main effect state transition navigation count to 0 (S478), and ends the main effect state transition navigation processing.

  By executing the processes in steps S475 and S476, the sub CPU 102 executes the push order navigation in which the result of the batting order determination is defined as “o” in the ART state without setting the flag in the additional specialization state. The main effect state 2 can be set to the main effect state in the main CPU 93, and when the bat state is not in the ART state, the main CPU 93 performs the main push action navigation with the result of batting order determination defined as “x”. The main effect state 1 can be set to the effect state, and the additional specialization state can be started in the next game.

<Additional Specialized State Processing>
FIG. 102 is a flowchart showing the additional specialization state process executed in step S428 of the start command reception process shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 102 executes an addition ART lottery process with a loop rate (S460). Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the additional specialization state 1 is set in the sub state flag storage area (see FIG. 66) (S481). In this process, when it is determined that the additional specialization state 1 is set (YES), the sub CPU 102 determines whether the loop rate of the additional specialization state 1 is determined (S 482).

  If it is determined in the process of step S482 that the loop rate of the additional specialization state 1 is not determined (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines the loop rate of the additional specialization state 1 (S483). Here, the loop rate of the additional specialization state 1 is a continuation probability used when extracting whether or not the additional specialization state 1 continues in the additional specialization state 1 processing (see FIG. 105), and a plurality of loop rates are used. Any one of loop rates (for example, 10%, 20%, 50%, etc.) is determined.

  After executing the process of step S483 or when it is determined that the loop rate of the additional specialization state 1 is determined in the process of step S482 (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes the additional specialization state 1 process. (S 484), and the superscription specialization state processing ends.

  If it is determined in the process of step S481 that the additional specialization state 1 is not set (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines the loop rate of the additional specialization state 2 (S485). Here, the loop rate of the additional specialization state 2 is a continuation probability used when extracting whether or not the additional specialization state 2 continues in the additional specialization state 2 processing (see FIG. 106), and a plurality of loop rates are used. Any one of loop rates (for example, 10%, 20%, 50%, etc.) is determined.

  After execution of the process of step S486 or when it is determined that the loop rate of the additional specialization state 2 is determined in the process of step S485 (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes the additional specialization state 2 process. Then (S487), the special processing for superposing is finished.

<Additional specialization state 1 processing>
FIG. 103 is a flowchart showing an additional specialization state 1 process executed in step S483 of the additional specialization state process shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the number of additional specialized state 1 guaranteed games is one or more (S 490). In this process, if it is determined that the number of games with guaranteed specialization status 1 is 1 or more (YES), the sub CPU 102 subtracts one from the number of games with guaranteed guaranteed special operation 1 (S491).

  After executing the process of step S 491 or when determining in the process of step S 490 that the number of games with guaranteed specialization state 1 is 0 (NO), the sub CPU 102 does not win the special role or not It is determined whether or not (S492). Here, the special part is composed of the internal winning combination "F_purple 7 lip", "F_BAR lip" and "F_GOD1 to 3".

  If it is determined in the process of step S492 that the special role has been won (NO), sub CPU 102 sets the ART state in the sub state flag storage area (see FIG. 66), and the special addition state and the special addition state. The flag of the specialization state 1 is reset, the loop rate of the special addition special state 1 is reset (S493), and the special addition special process 1 processing is ended. On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S 492 that the special combination is not won (YES), the sub CPU 102 determines whether the number of additional specialization state 1 guaranteed games is 0 (S 494) .

  If it is determined in the process of step S494 that the number of added specialization state 1 guaranteed games is not 0 (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the unit game of the 5 games guaranteed in the additional specialization state 1. Since the addition specialization state 1 is continued, the number of AT games to be added is determined by lottery, and the extraction result is added to the AT game number counter stored in the predetermined area of the sub RAM 103 (S495). In this process, the sub CPU 102 determines the number of AT games to be added based on the probability associated with each internal winning combination with reference to the additional specialization state 1 lottery table (see FIG. 58).

  Here, the special addition state 1 lottery table is configured to be always added with the number of AT games of 10 or more. If the sub CPU 102 executes the additional specialization state 1 in order to determine the number of AT games to be added using the five additional specialization state 1 lottery table by the processes of steps S494 and S495, the sub CPU 102 is in the ART state. , Is always configured to perform a unit game of 50 games or more.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S 494 that the number of added specialization state 1 guaranteed games is 0 (YES), the sub CPU 102 determines that the internal winning combination is “F_normal rep”, “F_purple 7 rep”. Or, it is determined whether it is one of "F_BAR lip" (S496).

  If it is determined in the process of step S 496 that the internal winning combination is any of “F_normal replay”, “F_normal purple 7 rep” or “F_normal BAR rep” (YES), sub CPU 102 adds Whether or not the additional specialization state 1 continues based on the loop rate of the additional specialization state 1 determined in the step S483 of the specialization state processing or the step S583 of the additional ART lottery processing according to the loop rate (see FIG. 109) The special addition state 1 continuous lottery is executed (S 497). Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the result of the additional specialization state 1 continuous lottery is continuous (S 498)

  In the process of step S 496, when it is determined that the internal winning combination is neither “F_normal lip”, “F_purple 7 lip” nor “F_BAR lip” (NO), or in the process of step S 498, the specialization state of superimposition 1 If it is determined that the result of the continuous lottery is continuous (YES), the sub CPU 102 randomly determines the number of AT games to be added, and adds the lottery result to the AT game number counter (S499). In this process, the sub CPU 102 refers to the additional specialization state 1 lottery table to determine the number of AT games to be added based on the probability associated with each internal winning combination.

  By the process of step S 496, in the specialization state 1 for the sixth and subsequent games, the sub CPU 102 plays the rare part or 3 that is an internal winning combination other than “F_normal lip”, “F_purple 7 lip” or “F_BAR lip”. It is configured to automatically continue the specialization state 1 when winning a single-bell role and a 15-piece bell role.

  If it is determined in the process of step S 498 that the result of the additional specialization state 1 continuous lottery is not to continue (NO), the sub CPU 102 sets the ART state in the sub state flag storage area, and the additional specialization state and the additional specialization state The flag of the specialization state 1 is reset, and the loop rate of the special addition state 1 is reset (S500).

  After executing the processing of step S495 or step S500, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the internal winning combination is a three-bell combination (S501). In this process, if it is determined that the internal winning combination is not a 3-bell combination (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the special-addition-state 1 process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S501 that the internal winning combination is three bells (YES), the sub CPU 102 determines whether the current main effect state is the main effect state 2 or not. (S502). In this process, when it is determined that the current main effect state is not the main effect state 2 (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the additional specialization state 1 process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S502 that the main effect state is the main effect state 2 (YES), the sub CPU 102 causes the main CPU 93 to change the main effect state of the main gaming state to the main effect state 0 In order to set the push order navigation without the push order navigation (S 503), the special processing 1 of the additional specialization is ended.

  In the present embodiment, the specialization state 1 table is configured to always add the number of AT games of 10 games or more, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of AT games can not be increased as a result of lottery. You may comprise so that it may have sex. In this case, the sub CPU 02 may be configured to update the AT game number counter to 50 at the start of the additional specialization state 1. Further, in this case, the sub CPU 102 may be configured to update the AT game number counter to 50 on condition that the AT game number counter is less than 50 at the end of the additional specialization state 1.

<Additional specialization state 2 processing>
FIG. 104 is a flowchart showing an additional specialization state 1 process executed in step S487 of the additional specialization state process shown in FIG.

  First, based on the received start command data, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the combo system lock effect is set in the rotating drum effect flag storage area (see FIG. 36) (S510). Here, the combo system lock effect wins the internal winning combination “F_Normal Lip Purple 7” or “F_Normal Lip_BAR” by the process of step S110 in the other lottery process (see FIG. 72), and the combo system lock effect is performed. Set when winning.

  In the process of step S510, when it is determined that the combo system lock effect is set (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes an addition lottery process at lock time (S511). In this process, the sub CPU 102 executes lottery of the number of AT games to be added corresponding to the type of the received start command.

  After executing the process of step S511 or when determining that the combo system lock effect is not set in the process of step S510 (NO), the sub CPU 102 executes the lock effect set navigation process (S512). . In this process, when the sub CPU 102 wins the combo system lock effect, the sub CPU 102 executes push order navigation according to the internal winning combination.

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the number of additional specialized state 2 guaranteed games is one or more (S513). In this process, when it is determined that the number of games with guaranteed special addition status 2 is 1 or more (YES), the sub CPU 102 subtracts one from the number of games with guaranteed guaranteed special operation 2 (S514).

  After executing the process of step S514 or when determining in the process of step S513 that the number of games with guaranteed special addition state 2 is 0 (NO), the sub CPU 102 does not win the special role or not It is determined (S515). Here, the special part is composed of the internal winning combination "F_purple 7 lip", "F_BAR lip" and "F_GOD1 to 3".

  If it is determined in the process of step S515 that the special role has been won (NO), sub CPU 102 sets the ART state in the sub state flag storage area (see FIG. 66), and the special addition state and the special addition state. The flag of the specialization state 2 is reset, the loop rate of the special addition state 2 is reset (S516), and the special addition state 2 processing is ended. On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S515 that the special combination is not won (YES), the sub CPU 102 determines whether the number of additional specialization state 2 guaranteed games is 0 (S517). .

  If it is determined in the process of step S517 that the number of added specialization state 2 guarantee games is not 0 (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the unit game of 10 games guaranteed in the additional specialization state 2. Since it is not, the number of AT games to be added based on the internal winning combination is extracted while continuing the specialization state 2 (S518).

  In the process of step S518, when the internal winning combination is a rare combination, the sub CPU 102 randomly selects the number of AT games to be added based on the corresponding rare combination. Here, as a table used for lottery the number of AT games to be added, a special addition state 1 lottery table (see FIG. 58) may be used, or another table may be used. In addition, in the case of using a table different from the additional specialization state 1 lottery table, it may be a table having a probability of winning a so-called lost, in which one game is not added.

  Next, the sub CPU 102 adds the lottery result to the AT game number counter for the number of AT games to be added determined by the process of step S518 (S519).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S 517 that the number of added specialization state 2 guarantee games is 0 (YES), the sub CPU 102 determines that the internal winning combination is “F_normal lip”, 15 bells or 3 It is determined whether it is one of the sheet bell roles (S520).

  If it is determined in the process of step S520 that the internal winning combination is any of "F_normal lip", 15 bells or 3 bells (YES), the sub CPU 102 performs the special processing of the additional special processing. Whether or not the additional specialization state 2 continues based on the loop rate of the additional specialization state 2 determined in step S 583 of the step S 486 or the additional ART lottery processing with the loop rate (see FIG. 109) A continuous lottery is executed (S521). Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the result of the additional specialization state 2 continuous lottery is continuous (S522).

  In the process of step S520, when it is determined that the internal winning combination is neither “F_normal lip”, 15 bells nor 3 bells (NO) or in the process of step S522, the additional specialization state 2 continuous lottery If it is determined that the result of (c) is continuous (YES), the sub CPU 102 randomly determines the number of AT games to be added, and adds the lottery result to the AT game number counter (S523). In this process, the sub CPU 102 determines the number of AT games to be added based on the probability associated with each internal winning combination with reference to the additional specialization state 2 lottery table.

  If the sub CPU 102 wins the internal winning combination other than “F_normal lip”, “15-piece bell” and “3-piece bell” in the specialization state 2 after the 11th game by the process of step S520. In addition, the specialization state 2 is continued.

  In the process of step S522, when it is determined that the result of the additional specialization state 2 continuous lottery is not continuous (NO), the sub CPU 102 sets the ART state in the sub state flag storage area, and the additional specialization state and the additional specialization state The flag of specialization state 2 is reset, and the loop rate of superscription specialization state 2 is reset (S 524).

  After executing the processing of step S519 or step S524, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the internal winning combination is a three-bell combination (S525). In this process, if it is determined that the internal winning combination is not a 3-bell combination (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the special addition state 2 process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S525 that the internal winning combination is three bells (YES), the sub CPU 102 determines whether the current main effect state is the main effect state 2 or not. (S526). In this process, when it is determined that the current main effect state is not the main effect state 2 (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the additional specialization state 2 process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S526 that the main effect state is the main effect state 2 (YES), the sub CPU 102 sets no push order navigation as push order navigation (S527), and special addition specialization End state 2 processing.

  The sub CPU 102 is configured to update the value of the AT game number counter to 100 at the start of the additional specialization state 2 processing. Thereby, the sub CPU 102 is configured to always execute a unit game of 100 games or more in the ART state when the additional specialization state 2 is executed. Further, when the value of the AT game number counter is less than 100 when the additional specialization state 2 flag is turned off, the sub CPU 102 may be configured to update the value of the AT game number counter to 100.

<Locking addition lottery processing>
FIG. 105 is a flow chart showing the lock-time additional lottery processing executed in step S511 of the special-addition special process 2 process shown in FIG. 104 and step S551 of the ART state process shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the signal received from the main CPU 93 is the combo addition signal transmitted in step S148 of the continuous lock rendering process (see FIG. 74) (S530).

  If it is determined in the process of step S530 that the combo addition signal has been received (YES), sub CPU 102 refers to addition specialization state 2 lottery table (see FIG. 59), and extracts the number of AT games to be added. The number of AT games to be added determined by the lottery is added to the AT game number counter (S532). That is, the sub CPU 102 adds a predetermined number of AT games (number of games) to the number of AT games (number of remaining AT games currently being present), which is the number of continuous games in ART state, on the condition that the combo system lock effect has been performed. (Overlay) The sub CPU 102 performing such an addition constitutes an addition means.

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the combo end signal transmitted from the main CPU 93 in step S153 of the continuous lock effect process has been received (S533). In this process, if it is determined that the combo end signal has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 102 executes the process of step S530. On the other hand, if it is determined in this process that the combo end signal has been received (YES), the sub CPU 102 ends the lock-time addition lottery process.

  In the process of step S530, when it is determined that the combo addition signal is not received (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether the signal received from the main CPU 93 is the dejab addition signal transmitted in step S142 of the continuous lock rendering process. It is determined whether or not it is (S534). In this process, when it is determined that the deja-be-superimposed signal is not received (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the lock-time extra lottery processing.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S534 that the deja-be-added signal has been received (YES), sub CPU 102 refers to the lottery table (see FIG. 60) during ART and randomly selects the number of AT games to be added. (S535) The lottery result is added to the AT game number counter for the number of AT games to be added determined by the lottery (S536). That is, the sub CPU 102 adds (adds up) a predetermined number of AT games (number of games) to the current number of remaining AT games, on the condition that the dejab-based lock effect has been performed. The sub CPU 102 performing such an addition constitutes an addition means.

  At this time, when it is determined that the sub CPU 102 wins “dejab single shot” or “dejab continuous” as a rotating drum effect in the other lottery process (see FIG. 72) in conjunction with the dejab freeze (in the process of step S104). After executing the same effect display as the effect display performed in the liquid crystal display device 11, the fact that the addition of the number of AT games has been performed is displayed.

  As described above, the sub CPU 102 adds the number of AT games to be added determined by lottery to the AT game number counter on the condition that the dejave addition signal transmitted from the main CPU 93 is received when the predetermined addition condition is satisfied. Make up the means to ride

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the dejab end signal transmitted from the main CPU 93 has been received in step S146 of the continuous lock rendering process (S537). In this process, if it is determined that the combo end signal has not been received (NO), the sub CPU 102 executes the process of step S534. On the other hand, if it is determined in this process that the combo end signal has been received (YES), the sub CPU 102 ends the lock-time addition lottery process.

<Navi processing for lock production set>
FIG. 106 is a flowchart showing the lock effect set navigation process executed in step S512 of the additional specialization state 2 process shown in FIG.

  First, based on the start command received from the main CPU 93, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the combo system lock effect is set in the rotating drum effect flag storage area (see FIG. 36) (S540). In this process, when it is determined that the combo system lock effect is not set, the sub CPU 102 ends the lock effect set navigation process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S540 that the combo system lock effect is set (YES), the sub CPU 102 determines that the internal winning combination is "F_normal lip purple 7", "F_purple 7 red lip". Or, in the case of "F_, purple 7 lip", execute the push order navigation in which "purple 7-purple 7-purple 7" is displayed in the middle of the reel display window 4, and the internal winning combination is "F_ normal lip BAR If it is "F_BAR リ Rip" or "F_, BAR リ 押 し", perform the push order navigation displayed "BAR-BAR-BAR" in the middle of the reel display window 4 (S541), for lock effect set End the navigation process.

<ART state processing>
FIG. 107 is a flowchart showing ART state processing executed in step S426 of the start command reception processing shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 102 executes an addition ART lottery process based on a loop rate (S550). Next, the sub CPU 102 executes an addition lottery processing at lock time (S 551). Next, the sub CPU 102 subtracts one from the value of the AT game number counter.

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the conditions for receiving stock lottery in the additional specialization state are satisfied (S553). Here, the conditions for receiving the stock lottery in the specialization state of extras are satisfied by internally winning the role of rare.

  If it is determined in the process of step S553 that the condition for receiving stock lottery in the additional specialization state is satisfied (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes stock lottery in the additional specialization state (S554). Here, the sub CPU 102 executes stock lottery in the additional specialization state based on an additional specialization state stock lottery table (not shown) having a plurality of winning probabilities for each type of additional specialization state. The winning probability indicated in the additional specialization state stock lottery table may be configured to be different for each mode or setting value.

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the stock lottery in the additional specialization state has been won (S555). In this processing, if it is determined that the stock lottery in the specialization special state has been won (YES), the sub CPU 102 extracts the loop rate of the specialization state in the winning specialization, and the type of the specialization state for superposing The loop rate in the specialized state is stocked (S556).

  After executing the process of step S556, if it is determined in the process of step S553 that the condition for receiving stock lottery in the added specialization state is not satisfied (NO) or in the process of step S555, stock lottery in the added specialization state If the sub CPU 102 determines that the main effect state stored in the main effect state flag storage area (see FIG. 38) is the main effect state 2 or not (NO) (S557).

  If it is determined in the process of step S557 that the main effect state 2 is not set (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the 3-bell combination has been won (S558). In this process, if it is determined that the 3-bell combination is won (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes the main effect state transition navigation process (S559).

  Here, the sub CPU 102 determines a batting order when winning a 3-bell combination by executing the main effect state transition navigation processing while the ART state is set in the sub state flag storage area (see FIG. 66). As a result of, it can be made to win by pushing order which becomes "○". Thereby, when the ART state is set in the sub state flag storage area, the main CPU 93 can set the main effect state to the main effect state 2, and can recognize that it is the ART state.

  After executing the process of step S559, if it is determined that the main effect state 2 is not set in the process of step S557 (NO), or it is determined that the 3-bell combination is not won in the process of step S558. In the case (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the value of the AT game number counter is 0 (S560). In this process, if it is determined that the value of the AT game number counter is 0 (YES), the sub CPU 102 determines whether the stock number in the additional specialization state is 1 or more (S561).

  In the process of step S 561, when it is determined that the stock in the additional specialization state is 0 (NO), the sub CPU 102 resets all the flags set in the sub state flag storage area (S 562), ART End state processing.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S561 that the stock in the additional specialization state is 1 or more (YES), the sub CPU 102 sets an end standby state in the sub state flag storage area (S563). The ART state of the state flag storage area is reset (S 564), the stock number in the additional specialization state is decremented by 1 (S 565), and the ART state processing is ended.

  By the processing of step S561 to step S564, the sub CPU 102 does not return the secondary gaming state to the normal state, and the specialization for stock added by the processing of step S583 of ART lottery processing for adding ART by loop ratio and step S556 of ART state processing. The state can be executed.

  If it is determined in the process of step S560 that the value of the AT game number counter is not 0 (NO), the sub CPU 102 executes high probability mode transition lottery based on the internal winning combination (S566). Here, the internal winning combination serving as a trigger for executing the high probability mode transition lottery is configured of “F_normal ripple” and a 3-piece bell combination.

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the high probability mode transition lottery has been won (S567). In this process, if it is determined that the high probability mode transition lottery has not been won (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the ART state process. On the other hand, if it is determined in this process that the high probability mode transition lottery has been won (YES), the sub CPU 102 sets the high probability mode in the sub status flag storage area (S568), and ends the ART status processing. .

  Here, winning the “F_normal lip” or three-bell combination and winning the high probability mode transition lottery constitutes the establishment of a predetermined special condition. From this, the sub CPU 102 to shift to the high probability mode on the condition that a predetermined special condition is established, constitutes a special variation zone shift means.

<High probability mode processing>
FIG. 108 is a flow chart showing the high probability mode process executed in step S424 of the start command reception process shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 102 executes an addition ART lottery process based on the loop rate (S570). Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the prescribed game number counter in the high probability mode is 0 (S571).

  If it is determined in the process of step S571 that the defined game number counter is 0 (YES), the sub CPU 102 selects one of the array patterns defined in advance in the appearance array pattern table (see FIG. 65). A lottery to set an array pattern is executed (S572). Next, the sub CPU 102 sets the predetermined game number associated with each arrangement pattern to the predetermined game number counter stored in the predetermined area of the sub RAM 103 (S573).

  After executing the processing of step S 573 or when it is determined that the prescribed game number is not 0 in the processing of step S 571 (NO), the sub CPU 102 performs liquid crystal based on the variation symbol number pattern defined in the array pattern. The middle variation symbol 11C and the right variation symbol 11R displayed on the display device 11 are respectively determined by lottery from among the variation symbol number patterns (S574).

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not both the determined middle variation symbol 11C and the right variation symbol 11R are “3” (S575). In this process, when it is determined that both the middle variation symbol 11C and the right variation symbol 11R are determined to be “3” (YES), the sub CPU 102 determines that the addition specialization state is the addition specialization state 1 or the addition specialization state The loop rate of the determined additional specialization state is determined, and the determined type of the additional specialization state and the loop rate are stocked (S576).

  If it is determined that at least one of the middle variation symbol 11C or the right variation symbol 11R is not determined to be "3" (NO) after execution of the processing of step S576 or in the processing of step S575 (NO), sub CPU 102 The value of the prescribed game number counter is decremented by 1 (S577).

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the value of the prescribed game number counter is 0 (S578). In this process, when it is determined that the value of the prescribed game number counter is not 0 (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the high probability mode process. On the other hand, if it is determined in this process that the value of the prescribed game number counter is 0, the sub CPU 102 resets the high probability mode set in the sub status flag storage area (see FIG. 66) (S579). ), End the high probability mode processing.

<Additional ART lottery processing by loop rate>
109 shows step S460 of ART preparation state processing shown in FIG. 100, step S480 of superimposition specialization state processing shown in FIG. 102, step S550 of ART state processing shown in FIG. 107, and high probability shown in FIG. It is a flowchart which shows the addition ART lottery process by the loop rate performed in step S570 of mode processing.

  First, the sub CPU 102 performs lottery based on the loop rate determined in step S444 of the ART lottery process (see FIG. 99), and determines whether or not the additional specialization state is won (S580). In this process, if it is determined that the additional specialization state is not won (NO), the sub CPU 102 executes a loop rate reset (S581), and ends the additional ART lottery process based on the loop rate.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the additional specialization state has been won (YES), the sub CPU 102 determines the additional specialization state as either the additional specialization state 1 or the additional specialization state 2 (S582). The loop rate of the added specialization state is extracted, the type of the added specialization state and the loop rate determined are stocked (S583), and the addition ART lottery process by the loop rate is ended.

  Here, the lottery of the loop rate of each additional specialization state is determined by the same processing as step S483 of the additional specialization state processing (FIG. 102) when the determined additional specialization state is the additional specialization state 1. If the determined additional specialization state is the additional specialization state 2, it is determined in the same process as step S487 of the additional specialization state process.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as a situation in which the additional specialization state is stocked, the case in which the additional specialization state is won in the additional ART lottery processing (FIG. 109) based on the above-mentioned loop rate, and ART state processing (FIG. 107) There is a case in which the stock lottery (S 554) in the specialization state of the addition in the above has been won.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is determined that a predetermined stock condition is that the winning ART lottery process (FIG. 109) and / or the special stock lottery (S 554) according to the loop rate is performed. . Therefore, the sub CPU 102 stocks the specialization state on the condition that the above-mentioned predetermined stock condition is satisfied. The sub CPU 102 for stocking the additional specialization state constitutes stock means.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when a plurality of additional specialization states are stocked, sub CPU 102 prioritizes the secondary specialization state 2b, the additional specialization state 2a, and the additional specialization state 1 in order of priority when a plurality of additional specialization states are stocked. Transition the gaming state.

<End wait process>
FIG. 110 is a flowchart showing an end standby process executed in step S422 of the start command reception process shown in FIG. The end waiting process is a process which is transitioned to when there is at least one stock in the additional specialization state.

  First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the 3-bell combination has been won (S590). In this process, if it is determined that the 3-bell combination is won (YES), the sub CPU 102 sets the push order navigation as no push order navigation (S591).

  Next, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the left stop button 19L has been subjected to the first stop operation (S592). In this process, when it is determined that the left stop button 19L is not subjected to the first stop operation (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the end standby process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S592 that the left stop button 19L is subjected to the first stop operation (YES), the sub CPU 102 sets the ART preparation state in the sub state flag storage area (see FIG. 66) S593) The end standby state of the sub state flag storage area is reset (S594), and the end standby process is ended.

  Since the left stop button 19L is subjected to the first stop operation when winning three bells, the main effect state 1 or 2 on the main control circuit 91 side is initialized. Therefore, the sub CPU 102 sets the effect state to the ART preparation state after the main effect state 1 or 2 is initialized (S593), and performs the processing of the ART preparation state again, and the above-mentioned predetermined stock condition The presentation state can be shifted to the additional specialization state stocked at the time of establishment.

  Through the processes of steps S590 to S593, the sub CPU 102 shifts to the ART preparation state through the end standby state to execute the additional specialization state stocked in the ART state. Then, when transitioning from the end standby state to the ART preparation state, the main stop state flag storage area is displayed in the main CPU 93 by causing the left stop button 19L to perform the first stop operation when winning three bells in the end standby state. 38) can be reset, and the main effect state can be returned to the main effect state 0.

  In the process of step S590, when it is determined that the 3-bell combination has not been won (NO), the sub CPU 102 determines whether the 15-piece bell combination has been won (S595). In this process, if it is determined that the 15-piece bell combination has not been won (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the end waiting process. On the other hand, if it is determined in this process that the 15-piece bell combination has been won (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes push-by-step navigation for winning the 15-piece bell combination (S596), and ends the end waiting process. .

  As described above, since the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment controls the transition of the main gaming state only between the normal gaming state (RT0 gaming state) and the RT1 gaming state, as in the prior art It is not necessary to provide a plurality of RT states with a high probability of replay. Further, by setting the bonus flag carry over state to the RT1 gaming state, the RT state managed by the main control circuit 91 can be practically made into one, and the amount of data handled by the main control circuit 91 in comparison with the prior art. It can be reduced.

  Further, the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment shifts the staging state to the additional specialization state in which the number of AT games in the ART state is determined prior to the start of the ART state, and the additional specialization state is The degree of expectation for determination of a large number of AT games is configured to include an additional specialization state 1 and an additional specialization state 2 that are different from each other. In addition, based on the type of the specific condition established during the RT1 gaming state, it can be distributed as the additional specialization state to either the additional specialization state 1 or the additional specialization state 2. For this reason, prior to the start of the ART state, it is possible to make the player have an expectation as to which of the additional specialization state 1 and the additional specialization state 2 to shift.

  Furthermore, in the special additional state 2, the fact that a specific symbol combination (for example, “purple 7” or “BAR”) is stopped on the pay line is the establishment of a predetermined condition for the number of additional games to be added. This is an opportunity, and in the additional specialization state 1, the fact that the combination of a specific symbol is stopped on the pay line does not become an opportunity for establishment of a predetermined condition. As described above, since the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment has different conditions for determining the number of AT games between the additional specialization state 1 and the additional specialization state 2, the ART state advantageous to the player is It can give various expectations regarding the number of AT games to be continued.

  In addition, the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment has three sheets in the pushing order including at least the pushing order A (“x”) by each process of step S257 and step S259 in the main effect state transition process (see FIG. 81). Since it is determined whether or not the bell combination has won twice as a predetermined number, or the three bell combination has been twice as a predetermined number in push order B (“o”), the three-bell combination winning time is determined From the stop operation order, the main control circuit 91 can grasp whether the effect state in the sub control circuit 101 is in the additional specialization state or in the ART state.

  In addition, when the special specialization states 1 and 2 are stocked, since the specialization states 1 and 2 which are stocked are generated after the initialization of the main effect states 1 and 2, the ART is generated. Even when transition to the additional specialization state 1 or 2 is performed again after the end of the state, the main control circuit 91 can grasp this. As a result, the main control circuit 91 can perform appropriate control even when the secondary control state or the ART state, which is advantageous for the player, is managed by the secondary control circuit 101 side.

  Further, in the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the three-bell combination is won twice in the pushing order including at least the pushing order A (“x”), or the three-bells in the pushing order B An external signal to be output to an information display device connected to the pachi-slot machine 1 or an external device such as a hall computer is switched according to the result of the determination of whether the winning combination has won twice. Therefore, an external device such as an information display device and a hall computer that performs display and management based on an external signal output from the main control circuit 91 is appropriately reflected in the effect state managed by the sub control circuit 101. External signal can be output. As a result, on the side of the external device such as the information display device and the hall computer, appropriate display and management can be performed.

  Further, the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment adds the predetermined number of AT games to the number of AT games in the ART state (the current number of remaining AT games), ie, the main control circuit 91 side. At the same time, a rotating drum effect (lock effect) using the rotation operation of the plurality of reels 3L, 3C, 3R is performed. For this reason, it is possible to perform an effect relating to the addition of the number of AT games in which the ART state advantageous to the player continues with a simple configuration and in a mode in which the player can intuitively feel.

  In addition, when the Pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment transitions to the stocked specialization state again after completion of the ART state, the Pachislot machine 1 among the stocked specialization states, the specialization state 2b. Since priority is given to transition in the order of the specialization state 2a and the specialization state 1, the ART state continues as the degree of expectation for the addition of the number of AT games in the specialization state transitioning after the end of the ART state increases. Expectations are high. As a result, the pachislot machine 1 can produce effects by the additional specialization state in which the degree of expectation after the ART state ends is transferred, and the interest of the game is improved.

  In addition, the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment is a dejab system lock that causes the symbol to be stopped at the same stop position as the game in which the process of step S105 of the other lottery process (see FIG. 72) is executed. While performing the effect, the liquid crystal display device 11 performs the same effect display as the game in which the processing of step S105 of the other lottery processing is executed in conjunction with the dejab system lock effect. That is, the pachi-slot machine 1 is added at the start of the current game when a predetermined addition condition is established in the previous game. As a result, the pachislot machine 1 can perform addition as a result of the previous game, and perform effects as if the previous game on which the addition was performed has been reproduced, and can further enhance the appeal of the effect.

  In addition, the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment performs the same lottery display as in the game in which the predetermined additional condition is established on the liquid crystal display device 11 in conjunction with the dejab-based lock effect, and then performs the lottery processing during the lock. Since the liquid crystal display device 11 notifies that the addition of the number of AT games has been performed by the process of step S536 (see FIG. 105), the player can easily recognize the occurrence of the addition.

  Moreover, the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment can repeatedly perform the dejab-based lock effect, and can further enhance the appeal of the effect.

  In addition, the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment has the "BAR" symbol and the "purple 7" symbol based on the stop positions of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R of the game before the locked game is performed during execution of the lock. After controlling the reels so that they line up in a straight line, an initial full rotation effect is performed, and either "BAR" symbol or "purple 7" symbol is displayed in the middle of the reel display window 4 depending on the type of full rotation lock effect. Since the reels 3L, 3C, 3R are controlled, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation as to which one of the "BAR" symbol and the "purple 7" symbol is stopped during locking. Therefore, the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment can enhance the appeal of the effect.

  In the present embodiment, sub-CPU 102 shifts the secondary gaming state to the high probability mode when a predetermined special condition is established in the ART state processing, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the secondary gaming state is ART Even if it is other than the state, it may be configured to shift to the high probability mode on condition that a predetermined special condition is established. Further, in this configuration, when "3" is displayed on each of the variable symbols 11L, 11C, 11R, the sub CPU 102 ARTs the sub gaming state even if the specific condition for shifting the ART state is not satisfied. It may be configured to transition to the state.

  Thereby, in the high probability mode, the pachislot machine 1 sets all of the variation symbols 11L, 11C, 11R based on the variation symbol number pattern (see FIG. 64) defined in the arrangement pattern (see FIG. 65) determined by lottery. When it is stopped and displayed in 3 ", the secondary gaming state is shifted to the ART state even if the specific condition for shifting the secondary gaming state to the ART state is not established, so the ART state is set regardless of the presence or absence of the specific condition. The player's expectation for the high probability mode that can be shifted can be enhanced. For this reason, for example, even when it is estimated from the effects before and after that the possibility that the specific condition is established is low, the interest of the game does not decrease due to the expectation to the high probability mode described above. This contributes to the operation of the gaming machine.

  Further, the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment is connected to the pachislot machine 1 with the external signal 1 when it is determined that the three-bell combination has won twice in push order A (“x”). An external signal 2 different from the external signal 1 is output when it is determined that the three-bell combination has won twice in push order B (“o”) while outputting to an external device such as an information display device or a hall computer. Although it is comprised so that it may output to an external apparatus, not only this but the external signal 1 and 2 which are output to an external apparatus, for example, a single external signal is 3 bells of pushing order A or pushing order B. It may be configured to output to the external device that it has been determined that the winning combination has won only twice.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the predetermined special condition is constituted by the internal winning combination "F_normal lip" and the three-bell combination, but the invention is not limited thereto. It may be constituted including the case where each special condition is satisfied, and any of each internal winning combination may be included.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the stock number in the special addition state is one or more, the special addition state in stock is released on the condition that the value of the AT game number counter becomes 0. (See S560, S561, and S563 to S565 in FIG. 107). In this respect, the timing of releasing the stocked special-specialized state is not limited to the timing when the value of the AT game counter becomes 0, and is stocked when the AT game counter is 1 or more. It is also possible to release an additional specialization state. For example, in the ART state process of FIG. 107, it is determined whether or not the additional specialization state is stocked before the determination of S560, and if the stock is present, whether or not the additional specialization state stocked is released Do a release lottery on the subject. Then, if it is decided to release the additional specialization state in this release lottery, the processing of S563 to S565 is performed. On the other hand, even if it is determined not to release the additional specialization state in the release lottery, the stock game is executed even when the value of the AT game counter becomes 0 by performing the processing of S560 and S561. Release the specialization state of being added. By performing such processing, it is possible to shift to the additional specialization state not only at the timing prior to the start of the ART state but also during the ART state.

[Modification 1]
In the pachi-slot machine 1 according to the embodiment, the main control circuit 91 (main CPU 93) can determine the current secondary gaming state by using the main effect state flag. Specifically, when the main effect state flag is "0", the current sub game state is determined to be "normal state", and when the main effect state flag is "1", the current sub game state is "zero". If the main effect state flag is "2", the current sub-game state is determined to be "ART state".

  Here, since the "superimposed specialization state" includes three kinds of superimposition specialization states of the extra specialization state 1, the extra specialization state 2a, and the extra specialization state 2b, the main control circuit 91 also performs the extra special processing. It is more preferable to be able to determine the type of conversion status. Therefore, in the first modification, an example of a specific configuration that enables the main control circuit 91 to determine the type of the additional specialization state will be described.

<Method to determine the type of additional specialization state>
The type of the additional specialization state is determined in each process (see, for example, S445 in FIG. 99, S 556 in FIG. 107, S 576 in FIG. 108) performed in the sub control circuit 101 (sub CPU 102). In the pachislot machine 1, although transmission of a signal from the main control circuit 91 to the sub control circuit 101 is permitted, transmission of a signal from the sub control circuit 101 to the main control circuit 91 is not recognized, and the sub control circuit The type of the additional specialization state determined in 101 can not be notified from the sub control circuit 101 to the main control circuit 91.

  Therefore, in the first modification, the type of the additional specialization state can be determined in the main control circuit 91 based on the batting order determination. FIG. 111 is an example of the batting order determination result correspondence table in the case where the main control circuit 91 determines the type of the additional specialization state. In the batting order determination result table shown in FIG. 111, for each batting order determination result, either the internal winning combination "3 bells of 1 to 6 in F_" or "3 bells on the right of F_1 to 6" is won. , The main effect state, the presence or absence of the turning drum effect, and ON / OFF of the external signal are associated with each other.

  In the case where the left stop button 19L is operated for the first stop, and the case where the result of the batting order determination made twice is “○”, as in the above embodiment shown in FIG. The effect state 0 (normal state) and the main effect state 2 (ART state) are associated with each other.

  On the other hand, unlike the above embodiment shown in FIG. 41, the superimposition specialization state is different from the above embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the additional specialization state 2a and the additional specialization state 2b are associated with each other. Specifically, when the result of the batting order determination performed twice is "XX", the main effect state 1A (superimposed specialized state 1) is associated, and the batting order result is determined twice. In the case of “○”, the main effect state 1B (superimposed special state 2a) is associated, and when the result of the batting determination made twice is “○ ×”, the main effect state 1C (superimposed state Specialized states 2b) are associated.

  Then, in the main effect state transition navigation processing (FIG. 101), the sub control circuit 101 controls the navigation in the push order according to the type of the superimposition specialization state determined by itself, thereby the main control circuit 91 and the sub control Both types of the additional specialization state can be shared by both circuits 101.

  The type of the additional specialization state determined in the main control circuit 91 is appropriately managed in the main effect state flag storage area shown in FIG. The management method of the main effect state by the flag only stores “0” “1” appropriately in the corresponding bit, and the detailed description will be omitted. Also, in the sub-state flag storage area shown in FIG. 66, the additional specialization state 2a and the additional specialization state 2b are not distinguished, but as is obvious for those skilled in the art, the additional specialization state 2a and additional specialization By managing each of the states 2 b with a flag, each of the additional specialization state 2 a and the additional specialization state 2 b can be distinguished in the sub control circuit 101 as well.

<Lock production lottery for each additional specialization state>
In this manner, when the type of the additional specialization state can be determined in the main control circuit 91, lock effect lottery can be performed according to the type of the additional specialization state. FIG. 112 shows the lock effect lottery table 1A referenced in the additional specialization state 2a (main effect state 1B), and FIG. 113 shows the lock effect lottery table referenced in the additional specialization state 2b (main effect state 1C) 1B is shown.

  Referring to the lock effect lottery table 1A shown in FIG. 112, in the additional specialization state 2a, there is a possibility that any of the combo system lock effects will be won when the internal winning combination "F_normal lip purple 7" is internally won. Yes, if the internal winning combination "F_ normal Lip BAR" internal winning, does not win combo system rock production. On the other hand, referring to the lock effect lottery table 1B shown in FIG. 113, in the additional specialization state 2b, when the internal winning combination "F_normal lip BAR" is internally won, any of the combo system lock effects can be won. There is a character, and when it is internally won by the internal winning combination “F_normal lip purple 7”, it does not win the combo system rock production.

<Additional explanation of superimposition specialization status>
Subsequently, the details of the additional specialization state 2a and the additional specialization state 2b will be described. In addition, below, only the point (The relationship between an internal winning combination and the content of notification) added to the content demonstrated by the said embodiment is demonstrated. That is, the basic contents of the additional specialization state 2a and the additional specialization state 2b are as described in the above embodiment.

  In the additional specialization state 2a, the first stop operation is performed on the right reel 3R when internally winning either of the internal winning combinations "F_normal lip purple 7" and "F_normal lip BAR", and Then, each reel 3L, 3C, 3R is pushed so as to aim the "purple 7" symbol, and the order navigation (notification of the type of the first stop operation and the symbol to be aimed) is executed. As described above, when the first stop operation is "right" (first push order), "purple 7 sets" is possible when the internal winning combination "F_normal lip purple 7", while the internal winning When the role is "F_normal lip BAR", the "purple 7" pattern becomes "purple 7" with tempering.

  Further, in the additional specialization state 2a, when the internal winning combination "F_purple 7 round lip" is internally won, push order navigation is executed so as to aim for the "purple 7" symbol. Here, in the internal winning combination “F_purple 7 round lip”, the “purple 7” pattern becomes “full purple 7 round” regardless of the stop operation order (see FIG. 20), so the first in push order navigation The type of stop operation can be arbitrarily set as appropriate. Note that, in the first modification, “purple 7 all” is limited to the case where the first stop operation is “right”, so the first stop in the push order navigation when internally winning the “F_purple 7 round lip” The type of operation is preferably “right”.

  Then, in the additional specialization state 2a, when the internal winning combination "F_normal lip purple 7" is internally won and the first stop operation is "right", a predetermined condition (second condition) is satisfied, 50 The number of AT games is added. The case where the internal winning combination "F_normal lip purple 7" is internally won, and the first stop operation is "right" is a situation where "pleo purple 7" is made at the correct pressing position. In addition, in the specialization state 2a, in a situation where "purple 7 match" is achieved, if "combo _ purple 7" is won as a combo system lock effect, an AT game of 50 games when combo freeze occurs It is configured to be easy to add numbers.

  On the other hand, in the additional specialization state 2b, the first stop operation is executed on the middle reel 3C when the internal winning combination "F_normal lip purple 7" or "F_normal lip BAR" is internally won. And, push the order navigation so as to aim at each reel 3L, 3C, 3R "BAR" symbol. As described above, when the first stop operation is "medium" (the second push order), "BAR aligned" is possible when the internal winning combination "F_Normal Lip BAR", while the internal winning combination is In the case of "F_normal lip purple 7", the "BAR" symbol becomes "bar-turning" with tempering.

  In addition, in the additional specialization state 2b, when the internal winning combination "F_BAR around lip" is internally won, push order navigation is executed so as to aim for the "BAR" symbol. Here, in the internal winning combination "F_BAR circling lip", the type of the first halting operation in the pushing order navigation is because "bar circling" is generated regardless of the halting operation order and the "BAR" symbol is tempering (see Fig. 20). Can be set arbitrarily as appropriate. In the first modification, “BAR aligned” is limited to the case where the first stop operation is “middle”, and therefore, the type of the first stop operation in push order navigation when internally winning “F_BAR circling lip”. Is preferably “in”.

  Then, in the additional specialization state 2b, when the internal winning combination "F_normal lip BAR" is internally won and the first stop operation is "middle", a predetermined condition (second condition) is satisfied, and 100 games are achieved. The number of AT games will be added. The case where the internal winning combination "F_normal RIP BAR" is internally won and the first stop operation is "middle" is a situation where "BAR is aligned" at the correct pressing position. In addition, in the specialization state 2b, in a situation where "a perfect BAR" is achieved, if "combo_BAR" is won as a combo system lock effect, the number of AT games of 100 games is added when the combo freeze occurs. It is easily configured.

<Correspondence table of superimposition specialization status>
A correspondence table schematically showing the relationship between the internal winning combination in the additional specialization state 2a and the additional specialization state 2b, the symbol combination to be displayed, the notification content, and the presence or absence of the addition is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 114, in the internal winning combination “F_normal lip purple 7” “F_normal lip BAR”, the pushing order in which the corresponding symbols are aligned and the pushing order in which the corresponding symbols are aligned are reversed. . Then, in the additional specialization state 2a and the additional specialization state 2b, the content of the notification and the presence or absence of the addition are defined so as to correspond to the relationship between the internal winning combination and the push order.

[Sub control process]
Next, processing executed by the sub CPU 102 of the sub control circuit 101 in the first modification will be described. In the following, only characteristic processing in the first modification will be described. The other processes are basically the same as the processes of the above embodiment.

<Navi processing for lock production set>
FIG. 115 is a flowchart showing lock effect set navigation processing in the first modification, which is executed in step S512 of the additional specialization state 2 processing shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the additional specialization state 2a is set in the sub state flag storage area (S610). In this process, if it is determined that the additional specialization state 2a is set (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes push order navigation according to the internal winning combination (S611). In this process, when the sub CPU 102 internally wins the internal winning combinations "F_normal lip purple 7", "F_normal lip BAR", and "F_purple 7 round lip", the first stop operation is performed on the right reel 3R. And the order navigation is executed so as to aim the "purple 7" symbol on each reel 3L, 3C, 3R.

  Subsequent to the process of S611, or when it is determined that the additional specialization state 2a is not set in the process of S610 (NO), the sub CPU 102 sets the additional specialization state 2b in the sub state flag storage area. It is judged whether it is done or not (S612). In this process, if it is determined that the additional specialization state 2b is set (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes push order navigation according to the internal winning combination (S613), and the navigation processing for lock effect set Finish. In this process, the sub-CPU 102 executes the first stop operation on the middle reel 3C when the internal winning combinations "F_normal lip purple 7", "F_normal lip BAR" and "F_BAR rear lip" are internally won. In order to be done, and to aim the "BAR" symbol on each reel 3L, 3C, 3R, the navigation in order is executed.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of S612 that the additional specialization state 2b is not set (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the lock effect set navigation process. Note that in FIG. 115, the process of S612 is performed following the process of S611. Here, if the specialization state 2a is in effect (if S611 is executed), the specialization state 2b is not in effect, and thus the process of S612 is not performed after the process of S611 is completed. The lock effect set navigation process may be ended. This point is the same in the processing at the time of winning a prize activation command shown below and in the second modification.

<Process when receiving prize operation command>
FIG. 116 is a flowchart showing a process for receiving a winning operation command according to the first modification, which is executed in step S411 of the effect content determination process shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the additional specialization state 2a is set in the sub state flag storage area (S620). In this processing, if it is determined that the special-addition special state 2a is set (YES), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the internal winning combination "F_normal lip purple 7" is internally won () S621). In this process, when it is determined that the internal winning combination "F_normal lip purple 7" is internally won (YES), the sub CPU 102 determines whether the first stop operation is performed on the right reel 3R. (S622). In this process, if it is determined that the first stop operation has been performed on the right reel 3R (YES), the sub CPU 102 adds 50 to the AT game number counter (S623).

  Subsequent to the process of S623, or when it is determined NO in any of the processes of S620 to S622, the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the additional specialization state 2b is set in the sub state flag storage area. To do (S624). In this process, if it is determined that the additional specialization state 2b is set (YES), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the internal winning combination "F_Normal Lip BAR" is internally won (S625) ). In this process, when it is determined that the internal winning combination "F_normal lip BAR" is internally won (YES), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the first stop operation is performed on the middle reel 3C. It judges (S626). In this processing, if it is determined that the first stop operation has been performed on the middle reel 3C (YES), the sub CPU 102 adds 100 to the AT game number counter (S627), and processing for receiving a prize operation command Finish. In addition, also when it is determined NO in any of the processes of S624 to S626, the sub CPU 102 ends the winning operation command reception process.

[Modification 2]
Subsequently, the pachi-slot machine 1 of the modified example 2 will be described. In the Pachi-Slot machine 1 of the above-described embodiment and the first modification, two types of additional specialization states, ie, an additional specialization state 2a and an additional specialization state 2b, are used as the additional specialization state 2. In this respect, in the Pachi-Slot machine 1 of the second modification, as the additional specialization state 2, in addition to the additional specialization state 2a and the additional specialization state 2b, the additional specialization state 2c is used.

<Overall specialization status summary>
FIG. 117 is a table for explaining each additional specialization state. The additional specialization state 1, the additional specialization state 2a, and the additional specialization state 2b are the same as those described above, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

  As described above, in the additional specialization state 2a, "purple 7 sets" is a predetermined condition (second condition) for giving the number of AT games, and in the additional specialization state 2b, "BAR all out" gives the number of AT games Is a predetermined condition. On the contrary, even if "BAR aligned" is established in the additional specialization state 2a, the predetermined condition is not satisfied and the number of AT games is not given, and similarly "purple 7 allies" are established in the additional specialization state 2b. Even if it does, the predetermined condition is not met and the number of AT games is not given. It should be noted that the "BAR assortment" in the additional specialization state 2a and the "purple seven assortment" in the additional specialization state 2b are established only when the player performs a stop operation against the pushing order navigation.

  On the other hand, in the additional specialization state 2c, both "purple 7 all" and "BAR all" are the predetermined conditions (second condition) for giving the number of AT games. In addition, the specialization state 2c for the additional game is a so-called rare such as “F_purple 7 turn lip”, “F_BAR turn lip”, “F_middle step lip”, “F_chance role 1” and “F_chance role 2” after 11 games. When the internal winning other than the role is performed, a lottery is performed to determine whether or not the additional specialization state 2c continues. Further, in the additional specialization state 2c, the number of AT games of 100 games is given as the minimum number of guaranteed AT games. The additional specialization state 2c constitutes a third special effect state.

  In the additional specialization state 2c, a combo freeze occurs when the internal winning combination "F_normal lip purple 7" is internally won and the first stop operation is performed on the right stop button 19R. In the combo freeze in this case, the number of AT games of 50 games is easily added. In addition, in the additional specialization state 2c, combo freeze occurs when the internal winning combination "F_normal lip BAR" is internally won and the first stop operation is performed on the middle stop button 19C. In the combo freeze in this case, the number of AT games of 100 games is easily added.

  In addition, the method of selecting the additional specialization state to be executed from among the four types of additional specialization states (additional specialization state 1, additional specialization state 2a, additional specialization state 2b, and additional specialization state 2c) is The same as the above embodiment. That is, the type of the additional specialization state is determined in each process (for example, see S445 in FIG. 99, S 556 in FIG. 107, S 576 in FIG. 108) performed in the sub control circuit 101 (sub CPU 102).

<Method to determine the type of additional specialization state>
Subsequently, an example of a method for the main control circuit 91 of the pachislot machine 1 to determine the type of the additional specialization state will be described.

  In the first modification, the main control circuit 91 determines the type of the additional specialization state based on the two results (“XX”, “× ○”, and “○ ×”) of the batting order determination. In this respect, even if there are four additional specialization states as in the second modification, the main control circuit 91 determines the type of the additional specialization state based on the result of the batting order determination as in the first modification. Can be determined.

  FIG. 118 is an example of the batting order determination result correspondence table in the case where the main control circuit 91 determines the type of the additional specialization state. In the batting order determination result table shown in FIG. 118, for each batting order determination result, either the internal winning combination "3 bells of 1 to 6 in F_" or "3 bells on the right of F_1 to 6" is won. , The main effect state, the presence or absence of the turning drum effect, and ON / OFF of the external signal are associated with each other.

  Here, when four types of superimposition specialization states are used as in the second modification, the main effect states determined by the main control circuit 91 are six types in total as shown in FIG. As a result of two batting order determinations of pushing order A “×” pushing order B “○”) (“XX”, “× ○”, “○ ×” “○○”) and the first stop operation “left” So, it is not possible to properly distinguish the six types of main effect states. Therefore, in the example shown in FIG. 118, six types of main effect states can be distinguished by performing the results of the batting order determination of the two types of pushing order three times.

  In addition, the method of distinguishing the six types of main effect states is not limited to the method shown in FIG. 118. For example, although the result of the batting order determination is used only twice, the six types of the main can be The state of presentation may be distinguished. For example, the first stop operation "medium" the second stop operation "right" is the push order A1, the first stop operation "the middle" second stop operation "left" is the push order A2, the first stop operation "right" the first 2) The stop operation "medium" is pressed in order B1, and the first stop operation "right" and the second stop operation "left" is pressed in order B2. Then, it is possible to distinguish the six types of main effect states by using the combination of the four types of pressing order of 2 times (the result of the batting order determination).

  Then, in the main effect state transition navigation processing (FIG. 101), the sub control circuit 101 controls the navigation in the push order according to the type of the superimposition specialization state determined by itself, thereby the main control circuit 91 and the sub control Both types of the additional specialization state can be shared by both circuits 101.

  The type of the additional specialization state determined in the main control circuit 91 and the sub control circuit 101 is appropriately managed in the main effect state flag storage area shown in FIG. 38 and the sub state flag storage area shown in FIG. If the number of bits is insufficient, storage areas may be added as obvious to those skilled in the art.

<Lock production lottery for each additional specialization state>
In this manner, when the type of the additional specialization state can be determined in the main control circuit 91, lock effect lottery can be performed according to the type of the additional specialization state. For example, in the additional specialization state 2a (main effect state 1B), lock effect lottery is performed with reference to the lock effect lottery table 1A shown in FIG. 112, and in the additional specialization state 2b (main effect state 1C), FIG. The lock effect lottery is performed with reference to the lock effect lottery table 1B shown, and in the additional specialization state 2c (main effect state 1D), the lock effect lottery is performed with reference to the lock effect lottery table 1 shown in FIG.

  Referring to the lock effect lottery table 1A shown in FIG. 112, in the additional specialization state 2a, there is a possibility that any of the combo system lock effects will be won when the internal winning combination "F_normal lip purple 7" is internally won. Yes, if the internal winning combination "F_ normal Lip BAR" internal winning, does not win combo system rock production. On the other hand, referring to the lock effect lottery table 1B shown in FIG. 113, in the additional specialization state 2b, when the internal winning combination "F_normal lip BAR" is internally won, any of the combo system lock effects can be won. There is a character, and when it is internally won by the internal winning combination “F_normal lip purple 7”, it does not win the combo system rock production.

  On the other hand, referring to the lock effect lottery table 1 shown in FIG. 43, in the additional specialization state 2c, when the internal winning combination "F_normal lip purple 7" is internally won, and the internal winning combination "F_normal lip BAR" In both cases of winning, there is a possibility of winning any of the combo system rock production.

<Additional explanation of superimposition specialization status>
Subsequently, the details of the additional specialization state 2c will be described. The details of the additional specialization state 2a and the additional specialization state 2b are as described above.

  In the additional specialization state 2c, when the internal winning combination "F_normal lip purple 7" is internally won, the first stop operation is performed on the right reel 3R, and each reel 3L, 3C, 3R. A push order navigation (notification of the type of the first stop operation and the symbol to be aimed at) is executed so as to aim for the "purple 7" symbol. As described above, when the first stop operation is “right” (first pressing order), “even in purple seven” is possible when the internal winning combination “F_normal lip purple 7”.

  Here, in the additional specialization state 2a, the first stop operation is the right reel even when the internal winning combination "F_normal lip 7" is internally won as well as the internal winning combination "F_normal lip BAR". In order to be executed for 3R, and to aim at the "purple 7" symbol on each reel 3L, 3C, 3R, the navigation in order is executed. When the first stop operation is "right" (first push order), the "purple 7" symbol becomes "purple 7" when the internal winning combination is "F_normal lip BAR".

  On the other hand, in the special additional state 2c, the above-described push-through navigation is performed only when the internal winning combination "F_normal lip purple 7" is internally won, and the internal winning combination "F_normal lip BAR" is internally winning. If it does, perform the following push order navigation.

  That is, in the additional specialization state 2c, when the internal winning combination "F_normal lip BAR" is internally won, the first stop operation is performed on the middle reel 3C, and each reel 3L, 3C, 3R. Perform a push order navigation to aim at the "BAR" symbol. As described above, in the case where the first stop operation is "medium" (the second push order), "BAR aligned" is possible in the case of the internal winning combination "F_normal RIP BAR".

  In this manner, in the specialization state 2c, when the internal winning combination "F_normal lip purple 7" is internally won, and when the internal winning combination "F_normal lip BAR" is internally winning, the pushing order navigation of the correct answer is made. (A push order navigation where the symbols are aligned like "purple 7 alignment" and "BAR alignment") is performed. On the other hand, in the special specialization state 2a, the correct order push-through navigation (the push order navigation of "purple 7 set") is performed only when the internal winning combination "F_ normal lip purple 7" is internally won, and the internal winning combination "F_ In the case where the internal flip BAR is won internally, the pushing order navigation of an incorrect answer (a pushing order navigation in which the symbols are not aligned like "purple 7 turn", "BAR turn" etc.) is performed. In addition, in the special specialization state 2b, if the internal winning combination "F_ normal Lip BAR" is internally won, the correct order push navigation ("push all navigation of BAR aligned") is performed, and the internal winning combination "F_ normal lip In the case of internal winning to "purple 7", the pushing order navigation of the incorrect answer ("punching order navigation of" BAR ") is performed.

  In addition, in the special specialization state 2c, when the internal winning combination "F_ purple 7 round lip" is internally won, push order navigation is executed so as to aim for the "purple 7" symbol, and the internal winning combination "F_BAR round lip" When you win inside, push order navigation is performed so as to aim at "BAR" symbol. The internal winning combination "F_purple 7 round lip" becomes "purple 7 round" regardless of the stop operation order, and the internal winning combination "F_BAR round lip" becomes the "BAR round" regardless of the stop operation order Therefore, the type of the first stop operation in the push order navigation (see FIG. 20) can be arbitrarily set as appropriate. Note that in the second modification, “purple 7 all” is limited when the first stop operation is “right”, and “BAR all” is limited when the first stop operation is “medium”. In example 2 of the superimposition specialization state 2c of the example 2, it is preferable that the type of the first stop operation in pushing order navigation when internally winning the "F_purple 7 turn lip" is "right", and "F_BAR turn lip" It is preferable that the classification of 1st stop operation in pushing order Navi at the time of carrying out internal winning to "is" inside.

  Then, in the additional specialization state 2c, when the internal winning combination "F_normal lip purple 7" is internally won and the first stop operation is "right", a predetermined condition (second condition) is satisfied, 50 The number of AT games is added. The case where the internal winning combination "F_normal lip purple 7" is internally won, and the first stop operation is "right" is a situation where "pleo purple 7" is made at the correct pressing position. In addition, in the specialization state 2c, in the situation of becoming "purple 7 assortment", when winning "combo _ purple 7" as a combo system lock effect, an AT game of 50 games when combo freeze occurs It is configured to be easy to add numbers.

  In addition, in the additional specialization state 2 c, the internal winning combination “F_normal lip BAR” is internally won, and the predetermined condition (second condition) is satisfied even when the first stop operation is “medium”, 100 The number of AT games is added. The case where the internal winning combination "F_normal RIP BAR" is internally won and the first stop operation is "middle" is a situation where "BAR is aligned" at the correct pressing position. In addition, in the specialization state 2b, in a situation where "a perfect BAR" is achieved, if "combo_BAR" is won as a combo system lock effect, the number of AT games of 100 games is added when the combo freeze occurs. It is easily configured.

  Thus, the additional specialization state 2c is a state with high expectation for determination of the number of AT games more than the additional specialization state 2a and the additional specialization state 2b.

  In addition, in addition specialization state 2c, the push order navigation of the correct answer is always performed both when internally winning the internal winning combination "F_ normal lip purple 7" and when internally winning the internal winning combination "F_ normal lip BAR" It is also possible to perform the pressing order navigation of the correct answer and the pressing order navigation of the incorrect answer in a probabilistic manner. That is, when the internal winning combination "F_normal lip purple 7" is internally won, it is determined that the first stop operation is executed on the right reel 3R when it is determined to perform the push order navigation with the correct answer, and When it is determined that each reel 3L, 3C, 3R is aimed to push the "purple 7" symbol, and it is determined to perform an incorrect answer push-order navigation, the first stop operation is performed on the middle reel 3C. In order to be executed, and to aim the "BAR" symbol on each of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R, the navigation in order is executed. In addition, when it is determined that the correct navigation order is to be performed when the internal winning combination “F_normal lip BAR” is internally won, the first stop operation is performed on the middle reel 3C, and The first stop operation is performed on the right reel 3R when it is determined that the push navigation is performed so as to aim the "BAR" symbol on each reel 3L, 3C, 3R and the push navigation of the incorrect answer is performed. In order to aim at "purple 7" pattern to each reel 3L, 3C, and 3R so that it is done, order navigation is performed.

  In this case, the lottery probability regarding whether or not to perform the push order navigation of the correct solution can be set as appropriate, and may be varied, for example, according to the setting value of the pachislot machine 1 or the like. In the case of winning the combo system lock effect in the lock effect lottery based on the lock effect lottery table 1 (FIG. 43), it is preferable to always perform the pushing order navigation of the correct answer. On the other hand, in the case where the combo system lock effect is not won, it is possible to stochastically perform the pushing order navigation of the correct answer and the pushing order navigation of the incorrect answer.

<Correspondence table of superimposition specialization status>
Fig. 119 is a correspondence table that schematically shows the relationship between the internal special winning combination in the additional specialization state 2a, the additional specialization state 2b, and the additional specialization state 2c, the symbol combination to be displayed, the notification content, and the presence or absence of the addition. Shown in. As shown in FIG. 119, in the internal winning combination “F_normal lip purple 7” “F_normal lip BAR”, the pushing order in which the corresponding symbols are aligned and the pushing order in which the corresponding symbols are aligned are reversed. . Then, in the additional specialization state 2a, the additional specialization state 2b, and the additional specialization state 2c, the content of the notification and the presence or absence of the additional are specified so as to correspond to the relationship between the internal winning combination and the push order.

[Sub control process]
Next, processing executed by the sub CPU 102 of the sub control circuit 101 in the second modification will be described. In the following, only characteristic processing in the second modification will be described. The other processes are basically the same as the processes of the above embodiment.

<Navi processing for lock production set>
FIG. 120 is a flowchart showing the lock effect set navigation process in the second modification, which is executed in step S512 of the additional specialization state 2 process shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the additional specialization state 2a is set in the sub state flag storage area (S650). In this process, if it is determined that the additional specialization state 2a is set (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes push order navigation according to the internal winning combination (S651). In this process, when the sub CPU 102 internally wins the internal winning combinations "F_normal lip purple 7", "F_normal lip BAR", and "F_purple 7 round lip", the first stop operation is performed on the right reel 3R. And the order navigation is executed so as to aim the "purple 7" symbol on each reel 3L, 3C, 3R.

  Subsequent to the process of S651, or when it is determined that the additional specialization state 2a is not set in the process of S650 (NO), the sub CPU 102 sets the additional specialization state 2b in the sub state flag storage area. It is judged whether it is done or not (S652). In this process, if it is determined that the additional specialization state 2b is set (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes push order navigation according to the internal winning combination (S653). In this process, the sub-CPU 102 executes the first stop operation on the middle reel 3C when the internal winning combinations "F_normal lip purple 7", "F_normal lip BAR" and "F_BAR rear lip" are internally won. In order to be done, and to aim the "BAR" symbol on each reel 3L, 3C, 3R, the navigation in order is executed.

  Subsequent to the process of S653 or when it is determined that the additional specialization state 2b is not set in the process of S652 (NO), the sub CPU 102 sets the additional specialization state 2c in the sub state flag storage area. It is judged whether it is done or not (S654). In this process, if it is determined that the additional specialization state 2c is set (YES), the sub CPU 102 executes push order navigation according to the internal winning combination (S655), and the navigation processing for lock effect set Finish. In this process, the sub CPU 102 performs the first stop operation on the right reel 3R when internally winning the internal winning combination "F_normal lip purple 7" and "F_purple 7 round lip", At the same time, the player pushes the "purple 7" symbol to each of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R and executes the order navigation. Further, when the sub CPU 102 internally wins the internal winning combination "F_normal lip BAR" and "F_BAR rear lip", the first stop operation is performed on the middle reel 3C, and each reel 3L. , 3C, 3R and push order navigation so as to aim for "BAR" symbol.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of S654 that the additional specialization state 2c is not set (NO), the sub CPU 102 ends the lock effect set navigation process.

<Process when receiving prize operation command>
FIG. 121 is a flowchart showing a process for receiving a winning operation command according to the second modification, which is executed in step S411 of the effect content determination process shown in FIG.

  First, the sub CPU 102 determines whether the additional specialization state 2a or the additional specialization state 2c is set in the sub state flag storage area (S660). In this process, if it is determined that the additional specialization state 2a or the additional specialization state 2c is set (YES), is the sub CPU 102 internally winning an internal winning combination "F_normal lip purple 7"? It is judged whether or not (S661). In this process, when it is determined that the internal winning combination "F_normal lip purple 7" is internally won (YES), the sub CPU 102 determines whether the first stop operation is performed on the right reel 3R. (S662). In this process, if it is determined that the first stop operation has been performed on the right reel 3R (YES), the sub CPU 102 adds 50 to the AT game number counter (S663).

  Subsequent to the process of S663, or when it is determined NO in any of the processes of S660 to S662, the sub CPU 102 sets the additional specialization state 2b or the additional specialization state 2c in the sub state flag storage area. It is judged whether or not it is (S664). In this process, if it is determined that the additional specialization state 2b or the additional specialization state 2c is set (YES), the sub CPU 102 determines whether the internal winning combination "F_normal lip BAR" is internally won or not. It is determined (S665). In this process, when it is determined that the internal winning combination "F_normal lip BAR" is internally won (YES), the sub CPU 102 determines whether or not the first stop operation is performed on the middle reel 3C. It judges (S666). In this process, if it is determined that the first stop operation has been performed on the middle reel 3C (YES), the sub CPU 102 adds 100 to the AT game number counter (S667), and processing for receiving a prize operation command Finish. In addition, also when it is determined NO in any of the processes of S664 to S666, the sub CPU 102 ends the winning operation command reception process.

[Effect of Pachi-Slot Machine of Modification 2]
The pachi-slot machine 1 according to the second modification has an internal winning combination "F_normal lip purple 7" and "F_normal lip BAR" as a pushing order. Then, in the pachi-slot machine 1 of the second modification, when the internal winning combination “F_normal lip purple 7” “F_normal lip BAR” is internally won, push order navigation is executed according to the type of the additional specialization state 2. At this time, when the internal winning combination "F_normal lip purple 7" is internally won, if the push order navigation is performed so that the first stop operation is executed on the right reel 3R, "purple 7 alignment" is When the order navigation is performed so that the first stop operation is performed on the middle reel 3C, "purple 7 turn" is obtained. On the other hand, if the first stop operation is performed on the right reel 3R when the internal winning combination “F_normal lip BAR” is internally won, the push order navigation is performed such that “bar around” is performed, and the first stop operation is performed. When the navigation in order is performed so that the stop operation is performed on the middle reel 3C, "arrange BAR" is established.

  Thereby, in the pachi-slot machine 1 of the second modification, the combination of the displayed symbols can be made different based on the relationship between the result of the internal lottery and the order of the stop operation (pushing order), for example, When the stop operation is performed in order, a specific symbol may be aligned depending on the internal winning combination, and a specific symbol may be tempered depending on the internal winning combination.

  Further, in the Pachi-Slot machine 1 of the second modification, there are three types of additional specialization status as an additional specialization status 2 such as an additional specialization status 2a, an additional specialization status 2b and an additional specialization status 2c. As shown, the push order navigation performed for the internal winning combination is made different in each additional specialization state 2. Specifically, in the additional specialization state 2a, when the internal winning combination "F_normal lip purple 7" is internally won, a push order navigation is performed such that "purple 7 allo" is established, and the additional specialization state In 2b, when the internal winning combination "F_Normal Lip BAR" is internally won, push-by-step navigation is executed such that "BAR alignment" is established. Then, the AT game number is added by 50 when the "purple 7 match" is established in the specialization state 2a, and the AT game number is added by 100 when the "BAR alignment" is established in the addition specialization state 2b.

  As described above, in the additional specialization state 2a and the additional specialization state 2b, the push order to be notified is associated with the symbol to be displayed, and the result of the game (internal winning combination) and the additional Since the relationship is close, it is possible to satisfy the aptitude as a gaming machine and secure the fairness of the game. In addition, in the special specialization state 2a and the special specialization state 2b, since the internal winning combination in which the combination of symbols is aligned on the one side is an internal winning combination not aligned on the other (target), the target who wants the player to win However, the reverse is true between the additional specialization state 2a and the additional specialization state 2b. As a result, the player is more interested in the type of the current special additional state 2 and the outcome of the game, and the interest of the game can be further improved.

  Moreover, in addition to the additional specialization state 2a and the additional specialization state 2b, by further having the additional specialization state 2c, the internal winning combination "F_normal lip BAR" and the additional special ability that the symbols are not aligned in the additional specialization state 2a Even in the case where the internal winning combination "F_normal lip purple 7" is internally won in which the symbols are not aligned in the turning state 2b, it is possible to expect an increase in the number of AT games. As a result, according to the pachi-slot machine 1 of the second modification, it is possible to make the addition of the number of AT games rich in gaming characteristics while associating the result with the game.

  It should be noted that the pushing order navigation of the correct answer and the pushing order navigation of the incorrect answer may be performed stochastically by lottery in the additional specialization state 2c, whereby the player can obtain the pushing order navigation in the additional specialization state 2c. There is a strong interest in the type of game and the outcome of the game (internal winning combination), and the interest of the game can be further improved.

  Further, as described in the above embodiment, also in the second modification, the timing to release the specialization state for superposing is not limited to the timing when the value of the AT game counter becomes 0, and the AT game counter Is greater than one, it may be possible to release the stock specialization status. Thus, by configuring to be able to shift to the additional specialization state both at the start of ART and during ART, it is possible to enhance the game playability both in the determination of the initial number of games at the start and the addition in ART. .

  In addition, when the additional specialization state is not set to the end waiting state, the high probability mode, the ART state, the additional specialization state, or the ART preparation state in the sub state flag storage area (see FIG. 66), It is stocked by winning ART lottery of ART lottery processing (refer to FIG. 98) performed when the gaming state is normal) (see S445 in FIG. 99), and in addition, certain conditions during ART state (third condition) Is stocked (see S556 in FIG. 107, S576 in FIG. 108, S583 in FIG. 109, etc.). Here, the type of the additional specialization state to be selected may be different according to the condition. For example, in the ART lottery process in which the secondary gaming state is the normal state, one superimposing specialization state is selected from among three types: super specialization state 1, super specialization state 2a and super specialization state 2b, If certain conditions are satisfied during ART, select one of the specialization states from among four types: specialization state 1 for superposing, specialization state 2 for superposing, specialization state 2b for superposing, and specialization state 2c for superposing You may do it. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this, and the type of the additional specialization state to be selected may be arbitrarily changed according to the condition.

[Modification 3]
Subsequently, the pachi-slot machine 1 of the modified example 3 will be described. The pachi-slot machine 1 according to the third modification has four additional specialization states, ie, an additional specialization state 1, an additional specialization state 2a, an additional specialization state 2b, and an additional specialization state 2c, as additional specialization states. This is the same as in the second modification. On the other hand, in the pachislot machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment, the first modification and the second modification, the internal winning combinations "F_normal lip purple 7" and "F_" are used as the pushing order (first pushing order and second pushing order). There were two types of “Rip BAR normal”, but in Modification 3, two types of the internal winning combination “F_Normal Lip Purple 7_A” and “F_Normal Lip BAR_A” are further added, and a total of four types of push order (The first push order, the second push order, the third push order and the fourth push order). In addition, lottery probability of internal winning combination "F_ normal lip purple 7_A" and "F_ normal lip BAR_A", lottery probability of lock lottery based on internal winning combination "F_ normal lip purple 7_A" and "F_ normal lip BAR_A", etc. It shall adjust suitably suitably, and, below, explanation is omitted.

<Summary of the order change>
As described above in FIG. 20, when the internal winning combination "F_normal lip purple 7" is internally won, "purple 7 alignment" is possible when the first stop operation is "right" (the order of pressing the correct answer) On the other hand, when the first stop operation is "medium", "purple 7 turn" (in order of incorrect answer). In addition, when the internal winning combination “F_normal lip BAR” is internally won, “bar alignment” is possible when the first stop operation is “medium” (in the order of pressing the correct answer), but the first stop When the operation is "right", it becomes "BAR around" (in order of incorrect answers).

  On the other hand, when internally winning the internal winning combination "F_normal lip purple 7_A" newly added in the third modification, "purple 7 alignment" is possible when the first stop operation is "middle". While (the pressing order of the correct answer), when the first stop operation is "right", "purple 7 turn" (the pressing order of incorrect answers) is obtained. That is, although the newly added internal winning combination "F_ normal lip purple 7_A" and the internal winning combination "F_ normal lip purple 7" become "purple 7 set" and "purple 7 round" according to the pushing order, "purple" The order of the correct answers that can be matched by 7 is different in each. Also, for the internal winning combination "F_normal lip purple 7_A" and the internal winning combination "F_normal lip BAR", the pressing order of the correct answer is the first stop operation "middle" and the pushing order of the incorrect answer is the first stop operation "right Although they are the same as in the above, the symbols for “matching / scoring” are different in each.

  In addition, in the case where the internal winning combination “F_Normal Lip BAR_A”, which is newly added in Modified Example 3, is internally won, “BAR alignment” is possible when the first stop operation is “right” (the order of pressing the correct answer) When the first stop operation is “medium”, “bar around” (in order of incorrect answer) is obtained. That is, although the newly added internal winning combination “F_Normal Lip BAR_A” and the internal winning combination “F_Normal Lip BAR” become “BAR aligned” or “BAR edged” according to the pushing order, “BAR aligned” is possible. The order of correct answers is different in each. In addition, for the internal winning combination "F_Normal Lip BAR_A" and "F_Normal Lip Purple 7", the pressing order of the correct answer is common to the first stop operation "Right" and the pressing order of the incorrect answer is common to the first stop operation "Medium" Although they are different, the designs for "matching / scoring" are different.

  If there are two types of internal winning combination "F_normal lip purple 7" and "F_normal lip BAR" as a pushing order, as in the case of the pachislot machine 1 of the above embodiment, modification 1 and modification 2, correct answers Only 2 patterns can be set, and as a result, in the special specialization state 2a, the first stop operation "right" is always notified, and In the switching state 2b, the first stop operation "medium" is always notified.

  On the other hand, as in the case of the pachislot machine 1 of the third modification, two kinds of internal winning combination "F_normal lip purple 7_A" and "F_normal lip BAR_A" are added as a pushing order, and a total of four kinds of pushing order In the case of having a role, four patterns of the correct (same) pressing order and the incorrect (singering) pressing order can be set. As a result, in the additional specialization state 2a and the additional specialization state 2b, both pressing orders of the first stop operation "middle" and "right" can be notified.

<Correspondence table of superimposition specialization status>
FIG. 122 is a diagram showing a correspondence table of the additional specialization state in the third modification. FIG. 122 schematically shows the relationship between the internal special winning combination in the additional specialization state 2a, the additional specialization state 2b, and the additional specialization state 2c, the symbol combination to be displayed, the notification content, and the presence or absence of the addition. As shown in FIG. 122, in the internal winning combination "F_normal lip purple 7" and "F_normal lip BAR", and in the internal winning combination "F_normal lip purple 7_A" and "F_normal lip BAR_A", the internal winning combination is also performed. In "F _ normal lip purple 7" and "F _ normal lip purple 7 _A", in the internal winning combination "F _ normal lip BAR" and "F _ normal lip BAR _ A", the symbols corresponding to the pressing order in which the corresponding symbols are aligned are not aligned. The pushing order is reversed. Then, in the additional specialization state 2a, the additional specialization state 2b, and the additional specialization state 2c, the content of the notification and the presence or absence of the additional are specified so as to correspond to the relationship between the internal winning combination and the push order.

  In addition, in the modification 3, since the pressing order of the correct answer (matching) and the pressing order of the incorrect answer (punching) are set as four patterns, the internal winning combination "F_purple 7 round lip" is internally won, or the internal winning combination is made. The type of the first stop operation in the push order navigation when internally winning the "F_BAR round trip" can be arbitrarily set as appropriate.

[Effect of Pachi-Slot Machine of Modification 3]
According to the pachi-slot machine 1 of the third modification, it is possible to set four patterns of pressing order of correct (matching) and pressing order of incorrect (singering), so in the specialization state 2a and the specialization state 2b. It is possible to notify the pressing order of both the first stop operation "medium" and "right". As a result, the player has a strong interest in the type of push order to be notified and the result of the game (internal winning combination), and the interest of the game can be further improved.

  As mentioned above, although pachislot machine 1 was explained, the present invention is not limited to this.

  In the pachislot of the above-described embodiment or the above-described various modifications, the secondary control circuit 101 manages the transition control to the advantageous state (for example, the “ART state”), manages the duration of the advantageous state, and performs the advantageous state. Although management of notification (navigation) is performed, one or all of these controls may be performed in the main control circuit 91.

  Note that, as the transition control to the advantageous state, for example, control (transition lottery) regarding transitioning to / not transitioning to the advantageous state can be mentioned. Further, for example, in the case of a pachislot machine 1 (for example, a high probability state and a normal probability state, etc.) in which a plurality of states having different winning probabilities are provided in transition lottery to an advantageous state, control on transition between the states is also advantageous. It can be included in state transition control.

  Further, management of the duration of the advantageous state includes, for example, determination of the initial number of games in the advantageous state, and control of the number of AT games added. In addition, for example, in the case of the pachislot machine 1 in which the advantageous state continues with a predetermined probability, it may be included in the management of the duration of the advantageous state whether or not to continue.

  The duration of the advantageous state includes the number of unit games in the advantageous state (the number of AT games in the above embodiment), and, depending on the specifications of the gaming machine, information advantageous to the player during the advantageous state. Can be included, the number of medals given during the advantageous state, and the number of sets when a predetermined number of games (for example, 50 games) are set as one set.

  At this time, as the number of medals awarded during the advantageous state, a net increase number obtained by subtracting the number of medals used in the game from the number of medals paid out in the same game may be used. Also, the number of medals awarded during the advantageous state may be calculated based on the medals actually increased during the advantageous state (calculation based on the actual value), and whether or not the number actually increased. It is also possible to calculate based on the number of medals scheduled to be increased when following the navigation (calculation based on an ideal value). Further, the number of medals awarded during the advantageous state may not be increased depending on the type of the internal winning combination. For example, with regard to a part combination having a low probability of being determined as an internal winning combination, or a combination in which display / non-display of a combination of symbols is switched according to the timing of stop operation, the combination is determined as an internal combination winning combination Also, the number of medals awarded during the advantageous state may not be increased or decreased.

  Further, management of notification (navigation) performed during the advantageous state includes control for notifying a mode of stop operation advantageous for the player by the liquid crystal display device 11 or the like.

  In addition, as an aspect of the stop operation to notify the player, the order (pushing order) of the stop operation may be displayed in which the combination of symbols advantageous to the player is displayed, and the combination of the symbols is displayed. It may be the timing (pattern to be aimed) of the stop operation necessary for

  Further, as an advantageous state, the mode of the stop operation which is advantageous for the player without changing the winning probability of the internal winning combination relating to the replay (or changing it in a range which does not affect the playability) It is also possible to use a so-called "AT" to notify, and to activate the replay high probability state (replay time) in which the winning probability of the internal winning combination relating to the replay becomes high, and the stop operation advantageous for the player It is also possible to use a so-called "ART" which reports the aspect of

  Further, in the pachislots of the above-described embodiment or the above-described various modifications, an effect determined with a predetermined probability according to the internal winning combination determined by the main control circuit 91, that is, one or more effects for one internal winning combination. To do. In this regard, a display (notification) uniquely corresponding to the internal winning combination determined by the main control circuit 91 may be performed together with the effect. Specifically, the display corresponding to the determined internal winning combination in one-to-one correspondence may be performed on the above-described 7-segment display 6 or a display unit (not shown) for displaying the internal winning combination. The display of the internal winning combination is preferably performed under the control of the main control circuit 91. As the main control circuit 91 itself notifies the internal winning combination determined by the main control circuit 91 in this manner, it is possible to provide a gaming machine in which fairness is secured.
