In the random number generation circuit 42, a range of numerical values to be counted is determined for each type of random number, and in the present embodiment, 0 to 65535 is defined as the range. The main CPU 41a sends an instruction to the sampling circuit 43 according to the processing to acquire the numerical value indicated by the random number generation circuit 42 as a random number value (hereinafter, this function is referred to as a hardware random number function). The random number for internal lottery to be described later is not used as it is as the random number extracted by the hardware random number function but is processed by software and used. The main CPU 41a also has a function of updating the value of a specific register by the above-mentioned timer interrupt processing (main) and acquiring the thus updated numerical value as a random number (hereinafter, this function is referred to as a software random number function). .

  The switch detection circuit 44 takes in detection signals input from switches connected directly to the game control board 40 or via the power supply board 101, and transmits the detection signals to the main control unit 41. The motor drive circuit 45 transmits the motor drive signal output from the main control unit 41 to the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R. The solenoid drive circuit 46 transmits the solenoid drive signal output from the main control unit 41 to the flow path switching solenoid 30. The LED drive circuit transmits the LED drive signal output from the main control unit 41 to various displays and LEDs connected to the game control board 40. The power failure detection circuit 48 monitors the power supply voltage supplied to the slot machine 1, and when detecting a voltage drop, outputs a voltage drop signal indicating that to the main control unit 41. The reset circuit 49 gives a system reset signal to the main control unit 41 when the power is unstable, such as when the power is turned on or off.

  The CPU 41a of the main control unit 41 executes a program read from the ROM to execute processing for controlling the progress of the game in the slot machine 1, and the like.

  As described above, in the main control unit 41, the CPU 41a executes control according to the program stored in the ROM 41b, and hence the main control unit 41 (or the CPU 41a) executes (or performs) the control, Specifically, the CPU 41a executes control according to a program. The same applies to a microcomputer mounted on another board other than the game control board 40.

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

  The ROM 41a of the main control unit 41 stores various selection data, table data, and the like used to control the progress of the game. For example, the ROM 41 b stores data constituting a plurality of determination tables, determination tables, setting tables and the like prepared for the CPU 41 a to make various determinations, determinations and settings. The ROM 41 b also stores table data and the like that constitute a plurality of command tables used for the CPU 41 a to transmit control signals from the game control board 40 as various control commands.

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

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

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

  In addition, the main control unit 41 can interrupt the basic process to execute the interrupt process when the interrupt occurs. In the present embodiment, timer interrupt processing (main) to be described later is executed at fixed time intervals (about 0.56 ms in the present embodiment). The execution interval of the timer interrupt process (main) is set to a time longer than the combined time of the process to be repeated depending on the control state in the basic process and the execution time of the timer interrupt process (main). Therefore, at least the processing repeated according to the control state is always performed between the current and the next timer interrupt processing (main).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  The sub control unit 91 is also supplied with backup power at the time of a power failure, and while the backup power is supplied, data stored in the RAM 91 c is held. That is, even if the power supply to the slot machine is stopped, the content of at least a part of the RAM 91c is stored for a predetermined period. In the present embodiment, the entire area of the RAM 91c is a backup RAM, and even if the power supply to the slot machine is stopped, the entire contents of the RAM 91c are stored for a predetermined period. In the present embodiment, the entire area of the RAM 91c is a backup RAM, and even if the power supply to the slot machine is stopped, the entire contents of the RAM 91c are stored for a predetermined period.

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

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

  Further, in order to confirm the setting value, after the game is over, the setting key switch 37 may be turned on in a state where the bet number is not set. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on in such a situation, the setting value read from the RAM 41 c is displayed on the setting value display 24 to shift to a setting confirmation state where the setting value can be confirmed. In the setting confirmation state, the game can not be progressed, and by setting the setting key switch 37 to the off state, the setting confirmation state is ended, and the game can be returned to the state where it can be progressed.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the voltage drop signal from the power failure detection circuit 48 is detected each time the timer interrupt process (main) is executed. A power failure determination process is performed, and when it is determined that a voltage drop signal is detected in the power failure determination process, a power failure process (main) is executed. In the power-off process (main), destructive diagnostic data (5AH in the present embodiment) in which any bit becomes 1 is stored in the RAM 41c, that is, specific data other than 0 is stored, and all areas of the RAM 41c are stored. The data for adjusting the RAM parity is calculated so that the RAM parity based on the stored data is 0, and processing for storing the data in the RAM 41c is performed. Note that the RAM parity is a value calculated as an exclusive OR of the values stored in the respective bits of the corresponding area (in the present embodiment, all the areas) of the RAM 41c. Therefore, if the RAM parity based on the data stored in all the areas of the RAM 41c is 0, the data for RAM parity adjustment is 0, and the RAM parity based on the data stored in all the areas of the RAM 41c is 1. For example, the RAM parity adjustment data is 1.

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

  In the present embodiment, all data stored in the RAM 41 c is held by the backup power supply even during a power failure, and the main control unit 41 determines that the data in the RAM 41 c is normal when the power is turned on. In this case, the control state before power interruption is restored based on the data stored in RAM 41c, but among the data stored in RAM 41c, only the data necessary to restore the control state at the time of a power failure is backed up. It is also possible to return to the control state before power interruption based on the data backed up at the time of charging.

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

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

  Important works include data for display of various indicators and LEDs, input / output data for I / O, clock counter for gaming time, etc. In addition to data that is inconvenient to initialize, RT flag and RT number of remaining games are stored later Is the work to be done. The non-saved work is a work that holds the state of various switches, and a value is always set regardless of whether or not the data in the RAM 41 c is destroyed at the time of start. The general work is a work in which data that can be initialized at the end of BB is stored, such as a stop control table, a stop symbol, the number of medals paid out, the total number of medals paid out in BB, and a gaming state flag described later. The special work is a work in which data such as various software random numbers that is initialized only before the start of setting is stored. The unused area is an unused area in the storage area of the RAM 41c, and is initialized if any one of a plurality of initialization conditions described later is satisfied. The stack area is an area in which data saved from the register of the main control unit 41 is stored, and the unused stack area among them is any one of a plurality of initialization conditions described later, similarly to the unused area. Even if it holds, it will be initialized, but the stack area in use will not be initialized for the continuation of the program.

  In the present embodiment, when the setting key switch 37 is turned on, the RAM abnormal error occurs, the BB is ended, and when the setting key switch 37 is turned off, the data of the RAM 41 c is activated. Is not destroyed, and when five initialization conditions at the end of one game are satisfied, four different types of initialization are performed according to the respective initialization conditions.

  The initialization 1 is a state in which the setting key switch 37 is in the on state at the time of startup and the initialization is performed prior to the transition to the setting change state, or when the RAM abnormal error occurs. In the storage area of the RAM 41c, all areas (including the unused area and the unused stack area) except the important work and the used stack area, ie, the area from the unsaved work to the unused stack area are initialized. Ru. Initialization 2 is initialization performed at the end of BB. In initialization 2, general work, unused area and unused stack area in the storage area of RAM 41 c, that is, area from general work to unused stack area It is initialized. The initialization 3 is an initialization performed when the setting key switch 37 is off at startup and the data in the RAM 41 c is not destroyed. In the initialization 3, non-saved work, unused area and unused area The used stack area is initialized. The initialization 4 is performed at the end of one game. In the initialization 4, the unused area and the unused stack area of the storage area of the RAM 41c are initialized.

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

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

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, as described above, the defined number of bets that can be set according to the gaming state (usually, inside, BB (RB)) is determined, and is determined according to the gaming state It is possible to start the game on condition that the specified number of bets has been set. In the present embodiment, the pay line LN is activated when the defined number of bets is set according to the gaming state.

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

  Of the winning flags for each of these winning combinations, the winning flags for the small winning combination and the re-playing combination are only valid in the game for which the flag is set, and are invalid in the next game, but the special winning combination is The combination is valid until the combination of the combination accepted by the flag is complete, and the combination is invalidated in the game. That is, once the winning combination of the special part is won, even if the combination of the combinations permitted by the flag can not be aligned, the winning flag is not invalidated but is carried over to the next game. It becomes.

  The internal lottery determines whether or not the display results of all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are derived and displayed (in fact, when the start switch 7 is detected), whether or not the above-mentioned winning combinations for each combination are permitted. It is In the internal lottery, first, a random number value (an integer of 0 to 65535) for the internal lottery is acquired when the start switch 7 is detected. In more detail, the value of the random number storage work assigned to the RAM 41c is set to the lottery work similarly assigned to the RAM 41c. Then, for each combination determined according to the gaming status and the presence or absence of the special combination, numerical data stored in the lottery work, the value of the gaming status flag for identifying the gaming status, and the RT to be described later are specified. It is carried out according to the value of the RT flag to be played, the number of bets, and the number of judgment values of each combination determined according to the set value. In addition, carrying over of the special part (bonus) means that if the bonus is not won in the game that has won the bonus in the internal lottery, the bonus winning state is carried over to the next game and the bonus winning state until the bonus is won. To maintain.

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

  When it is determined that one of the winning combinations has been won, the winning flag corresponding to the winning combination is set in the internal winning flag storing work assigned to the RAM 41c. The internal winning flag storage work is configured by a 2-byte storage area, the upper byte of which is assigned as a special role storage work in which the special winning flag is set, and the lower byte is a general winning The flag is assigned as a general role storing work to be set. Specifically, when a special combination is won, a special combination winning flag indicating that the special combination has been selected is set in the special combination storing work, and the winning flag set in the general combination storing work is cleared. When a general combination is won, a winning combination flag indicating that the general combination has been selected is set in the general combination storing work. If neither combination nor combination of winning combinations is won, only the general combination storing work is cleared.

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

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

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

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

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

  The stop control table is data that can specify the number of sliding symbols at each timing when the stop operation is performed. In the present embodiment, a stepping motor that makes one revolution in a cycle of 168 steps (0 to 167) is used for the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R. That is, by driving the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R by 168 steps, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R make one turn. Then, 21 areas (pieces) divided in every 16 steps (the number of steps in which one symbol moves) per reel is defined, and in these areas, an area of 0 to 20 from the reel reference position is defined. The number is assigned. On the other hand, the number of symbols arranged in one reel is also 21 and symbol numbers of 0 to 20 from the reel reference position are assigned to the symbols of each reel, therefore, 0 to 20 symbols The area numbers of 0 to 20 are assigned in order. The number of sliding symbols for each area number is compressed and stored according to a predetermined rule in the stop control table, and the number of sliding symbols for each area number can be acquired by expanding the stop control table. There is.

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

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

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

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

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

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

  In the present embodiment, when one of the winning combinations is won, the winning combination is drawn as much as possible to the pay line LN in the range of 4 frames, and the non winning combination is pulled so as not to align with the pay line LN. A stop control table in which the number of sliding symbols is defined is created, and stop control of the reel is performed, but when none of the winning combinations is won, the stopping control in which the number of sliding symbols is not equal is determined Create a table and control the reels to stop. As a result, when the stop operation is performed, if it is possible to align and stop the winning combinations within the lead-in range of up to 4 pieces in the pay line LN, control is performed to align and stop the winning combination. The player who is not in charge is controlled to have his or her body stopped and stopped in the lead-in range of up to 4 frames.

  If the special combination and the small combination are simultaneously elected, such as when the small combination is elected while the special combination has been carried over from before the previous game, the small combination selected is in the range of 4 pieces on the pay line LN. The number of sliding pieces is determined so as to draw in to the maximum, and for the stop operation position where it is not possible to pull in the winning combination to the pay line LN in the range of up to 4 pieces, A stop control table in which the number of sliding symbols is determined so as to draw in the range of the symbol to the maximum is created, and stop control of the reel is performed. As a result, when it is possible to align and stop the small winning combination in the lead-in range of up to 4 pieces in the pay line LN when the stop operation is performed, control is performed to align and stop this, and winning is achieved If it is not possible to draw in the small winning combination in the drawing range of up to 4 pieces in the line LN, if it is possible to align the special line winning in the drawing range of up to 4 pieces in the pay line LN and stop it. A control to align and stop these is performed, and a combination that has not won is controlled to have a four-stroke lead-in range and to stop. That is, in such a case, control to arrange the small winning combination on the pay line LN is given priority over the special winning combination, and it is possible to win the special winning combination only when the small winning combination can not be drawn. When the special combination and the small combination can be drawn simultaneously, only the small combination is drawn in, and the small combination and the special combination are not aligned with the pay line LN.

  In the present embodiment, the special combination and the small combination are simultaneously elected, for example, when the small combination is elected while the special combination is carried over from before the previous game, or the special combination and the small combination are simultaneously newly elected. If you do, the small part won is given priority over the special part you have won, and the special part is controlled to align with the pay line LN only when the small part can not be withdrawn. If the player wins at the same time, priority is given to the control of aligning the special part to the pay line LN over the small part, and the control of aligning the small part to the pay line LN may be performed only when the special part can not be withdrawn. .

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

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

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

  Next, various control contents executed by the main control unit 41 in the present embodiment will be described.

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

  As shown in FIG. 6, the main control unit 41 first initializes internal devices, peripheral ICs, interrupt mode, stack pointer etc. (Sa2), and then initializes the values of the I register and IY register (Sa3). ). By initialization of the I register and IY register, the address of the interrupt table to be referred to when an interrupt occurs is set in the I register, and the reference address when referring to the storage area of the RAM 41c is set in the IY register . These values are fixed values and will always be initialized at startup.

  Then, access to the RAM 41c is permitted (Sa4), and RAM parity of all storage areas (including unused area and unused stack area) of the RAM 41c is calculated (Sa5).

  At step Sa6, it is determined whether the RAM parity calculated at step Sa5 is zero or not. If the power interruption process (main) is performed normally, the RAM parity should be 0, and if the RAM parity is not 0 in step Sa6, the data stored in the RAM 41c is not normal. In this case, after executing initialization 1 for initializing all the storage areas except the in-use stack area and the important work in the storage area of the RAM 41c (Sa19), whether or not the setting key switch 37 is on If the setting key switch 37 is on, a setting changing command indicating that the setting is being changed is generated (Sa16), and the generated setting changing command is stored in the command buffer (Sa17). ), Allowing the interrupt of the timer interrupt process (main) executed by the main control unit 41 described in FIG. 8 at a constant interval (interval of 0.56 ms) Sa18), the setting change processing for such change of winning probability of winning, that is, the transition to the setting change state. Then, when the setting change process ends, the process shifts to the game process shown in FIG.

  If the setting key switch 37 is off in step Sa20, an error code indicating RAM abnormality is set in the register (Sa21), an error command indicating RAM abnormality is generated (Sa22), and the generated error command is stored in the command buffer. 8 (Sa23), and allows the interrupt of the timer interrupt process (main) executed by the main control unit 41 described in FIG. 8 at a constant interval (0.56 ms interval) (Sa24) Transition to RAM error state. Then, for example, when the RAM abnormal error state is released by operating the reset / setting switch 38 or the like by the game store clerk, the processing shifts to the game processing shown in FIG.

  If the RAM parity is 0 in the step of Sa6, it is further determined whether or not the data for destructive diagnosis is normal (Sa7). If power failure processing (main) is performed normally, data for failure diagnosis should be set, and if data for failure diagnosis is not normal at step Sa7 (the data for failure diagnosis is stored at power failure) Also in the case other than 5A (H)), the data in the RAM 41c is not normal, so shift to the step of Sa19 and execute initialization 1 and thereafter, if the setting key switch 37 is on in the step of Sa20. For example, the processing of Sa16 to Sa18 described above is performed, and the setting change processing, that is, the setting change state is entered. If the setting key switch 37 is off in the step of Sa20, the above-described processing of Sa21 to Sa24 is performed, and error processing, that is, transition to the RAM abnormal error state is performed. Then, when the RAM abnormal error state is released, the processing shifts to the game processing shown in FIG.

  If it is determined in the step of Sa7 that the data for destructive diagnosis is normal, the data in the RAM 41c is normal, so the data for destructive diagnosis is cleared (Sa8), and the unsaved work, unused area and unused area of the RAM 41c. After performing initialization 3 to initialize the used stack area (Sa9), it is determined whether or not the setting key switch 37 is on (Sa10). If the setting key switch 37 is on, the aforementioned Sa16 to Sa18 are selected. The processing is performed, and the setting change processing, that is, the setting change state is entered. Then, when the setting change process ends, the process shifts to the game process shown in FIG.

  If the setting key switch 37 is off in the step of Sa10, each register is restored to the state before power interruption, that is, the state stored in the stack (Sa11), and a return command is generated (Sa12). (Sa13), and allows interruption of the timer interrupt processing (main) that the main control unit 41 described in FIG. 8 executes at a constant interval (0.56 ms interval) (Sa14), before power failure Return to the process you were executing at the end of If any processing in the game processing shown in FIG. 7 is performed before the power failure, the processing of Sd1 to Sd6 of the game processing is performed based on the value of the program counter (PC) returned at Sa11. Return to the process that was being performed before the power failure. Also, for example, if any process in the timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 8 is performed before power interruption, the timer interrupt is performed based on the value of the program counter (PC) returned at Sa11. Among the processing of Sk1 to Sk26, the processing returns to the processing performed before the power failure.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 sends an insertion number command, an internal winning command, a reel rotation start command, a reel stop command, a winning number command, a game state command, a return command, and setting change to the sub control unit 91. Send multiple types of commands including commands and error commands.

  These commands are composed of 1-byte type data indicating the type of command and 1-byte extension data indicating the contents of the command, and the sub control unit 91 can determine the type of command from the type data.

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

  The internal winning command is a command that can identify the winning status of the internal winning flag, the type of the internal winning flag that has been established, and whether or not the bonus is carried over, and is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated to start the game. . Further, since the internal winning command is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated, it is possible to specify that the starting switch 7 has been operated by receiving the internal winning command.

  The reel rotation start command is a command for notifying the start of rotation of the reel, and is transmitted when rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is started. The reels 2L, 2C, 2R start to rotate when the start switch 7 is operated in the state where the bet number is set, so that when the reel rotation start command is received, it can be identified that the start switch 7 has been operated It is.

  The reel stop command is a command capable of specifying whether the reel to be stopped is any of the left reel, the middle reel, and the right reel, the area number of the stop operation position of the corresponding reel, and the area number of the stop position of the corresponding reel. This is transmitted each time stop control is performed in connection with the stop operation of each reel. Further, since the reel stop command is transmitted when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated (ie, pressed), the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated by receiving the reel stop command. It is possible to identify the order and order of operations.

  The winning number command is a command capable of specifying a winning result such as whether or not a winning has occurred and the type of winning combination, and is transmitted by detecting the stop position of the reel when the stop switch is operated for the third stop.

  The game state command is a command that can specify the game state of the next game, the type of RT, and the number of remaining RT games, and is transmitted when the game is over.

  An error command is a command that indicates the occurrence or cancellation of an error condition or a type of error condition, and when an error is determined and controlled to an error condition, an error command indicating the occurrence of an error condition and its type is transmitted, and reset. When the operation is performed and the error state is released, an error command indicating the release of the error state is sent.

  The return command is a command indicating that the main control unit 41 has returned to the control state before power interruption, and is transmitted when the main control unit 41 starts up and returns to the control state before power interruption.

  The setting change in progress command is a command indicating that the setting change is in progress, and is transmitted at the time of transition to the setting change state. Further, since the control state of the main control unit 41 is initialized along with the transition to the setting change state, the control state of the main control unit 41 is initialized by the setting change in-progress command indicating that the setting is being changed. Can be identified.

  The above-described plural types of commands are temporarily stored in a command transmission buffer provided in a special work of the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41, and the command transmission process executed in the timer interrupt process (main) shown in FIG. It is transmitted to the sub control unit 91 at (Sk16).

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

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

  In the BET processing in the step Sd1, a wait number can be set in a settable wait state, a specified number of bets is set according to the gaming state, and the game is started when the start switch 7 is operated. .

  In the internal lottery process in the step of Sd2, whether or not to allow winning in each combination described above based on the random value for the internal lottery latched simultaneously with the start of the game by the detection of the start switch 7 in the step of Sd1 (ie, display Perform processing to determine whether or not to allow derivation of the result. In this internal lottery process, a winning flag is set in the RAM 41 c based on the respective lottery results. When the bonus (BB or RB) is won by the internal lottery, the bonus carry over flag is set. Then, as described above, the presence or absence of the bonus carryover flag is determined to determine the presence or absence of the bonus carryover, and the winning combination according to the presence or absence of carryover (the bonus is excluded from the object of internal lottery during bonus carryover) Determination processing is performed.

  In the reel rotation process in the step of Sd3, a process of rotating each of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R in response to the operation of the stop switch 7, the result of the internal lottery in the step of Sd2, and the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R by the player. A process of stopping the rotation of the corresponding reels 2L, 2C, 2R is executed in response to the detection of the operation.

  In the prize determination process in the step of Sd4, when it is determined that the rotation of all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R has stopped in the step of Sd3, a prize is awarded according to the display result derived to each reel 2L, 2C, 2R. Execute processing to determine whether or not it has occurred. When the bonus is won, the bonus carry over flag is cleared in this process.

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

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

  Further, in the game processing, a command is generated according to game progress control, set in the command buffer, and transmitted to the sub control unit 91.

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

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

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

  After the power failure determination process in the step of Sk2, it is determined whether or not the power-off flag is set (Sk3). If the power-off flag is not set, the process proceeds to Sk4, and the power-off flag is set. To the power off process (main).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when a predetermined symbol combination is aligned on the pay line LN, a winning is achieved. The types of winning combinations are determined according to the game status, but are roughly divided into special roles with a transition to a big bonus and regular bonus, small roles with a payout of medals, and setting of the number of bets And a player who can start the next game.

  In addition, a big bonus may be shown as BB and a regular bonus may be shown as RB. In addition, the big bonus and the regular bonus may be simply referred to as a bonus. In order for the winning of each combination determined in accordance with the gaming state to occur, it is necessary to win an internal lottery and to set a winning flag indicating that the combination of the combination is allowed to be accepted in the RAM 41c.

  10 to 13 are diagrams for describing types of winning combinations, symbol combinations of winning combinations, and technical items related to the winning combinations. FIG. 14 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the gaming state and the RT controlled by the main control unit 41.

  The slot machine in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14, is controlled to be in the normal gaming state, inside 1, 2 or RB, or BB (RB), and further to the normal gaming state (hereinafter referred to as the normal gaming state). In the normal state, it is controlled to any one of RT0 to 4.

  As shown in FIG. 10, of the winning combinations, two types of bonus, special bonus, big bonus (hereinafter each big bonus is called BB) and regular bonus (each regular bonus is called RB) Is included.

  The BB is awarded when the combination of “white 7-white 7-white 7” is complete in the pay line LN. RB is a prize when the combination of “black 7-black 7-BAR” is complete in the pay line LN.

  When the BB wins, it is transferred to a big bonus in which every game is controlled to a regular bonus (hereinafter referred to as BBRB) during BB. The big bonus ends on the condition that at least 316 medals have been paid out.

  When the RB wins, it is transferred to a regular bonus (hereinafter referred to as RB). The regular bonus ends on the condition that one of the winning combinations has won 6 times or 12 games have been completed.

  As shown in FIG. 14, from the internal winning of BB to the winning, the internal control is controlled to 1.RT0, and after the internal winning to RB is from the internal winning to 2.RT0, the internal is controlled to 2.RT0. Further, as shown in FIG. 14, after the big bonus or the regular bonus (collectively referred to as the bonus) is finished, the control is usually performed at RT4.

  Even if one of BB or RB is won in the internal lottery described later, if you do not operate the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R at an appropriate timing to enable winning for these roles, these roles will be won. There is nothing to do. The symbols (“black 7”, “white 7”, “net 7”) constituting BB and RB are not arranged within 5 frames in each of the left reel 2L, middle reel 2C, and right reel 2R. It is.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 11, the small part of the winning combinations will be described. Among the winning combinations, small bells are middle bell, lower right bell, upper bell 1 to 8, middle watermelon, lower right watermelon, upper watermelon, lower cherry, middle cherry, single piece, right upward bell, upward right bevel, Rise up on the right.

  The middle bell is awarded when the combination of “Bell-Bell-Bell” is complete in the pay line LN, and eight medals are paid out.

  Here, referring to FIG. 3, the bells are arranged within five frames in each of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R.

  If the left bell 4 (down right bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 4) is won, and the stop operation is performed by left pressing, the combination of the right down bells among the winning combinations is aligned with the pay line LN and stopped When the stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed to align and stop any combination of the upper bell 2, the upper bell 4 or the transition result with the pay line LN.

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

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

  If the middle bell 2 (middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 6) is won, and the stop operation is performed by middle pressing, the control of aligning the middle bell combination among the winning small winnings to the pay line LN and stopping it is performed When a stop operation is performed by left press or right press, control is performed to align and stop any combination of upper bell 1, upper bell 6 or transition outcome with the pay line LN.

  When the middle bell 3 (middle bell + upper bell 4 + upper bell 7) is won, and the stop operation is performed by middle pressing, the control for aligning the middle bell combination among the won small prizes to the payline LN and stopping is performed. When the stop operation is performed by left press or right press, control is performed to align and stop any combination of the upper bell 4, the upper bell 7 or the transition result with the pay line LN.

  When the middle bell 4 (middle bell + upper bell 3 + upper bell 8) is won, and the stop operation is performed by middle pressing, the control for aligning the middle bell combination among the won small prizes to the payline LN and stopping is performed. When the stop operation is performed by left press or right press, control is performed to align and stop any combination of the upper bell 3, the upper bell 8 or the transition result with the pay line LN.

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

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

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

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

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

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

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when any of the left bell, the middle bell, and the right bell, that is, the pushing order bell is won, the stop operation is performed in a specific operation mode according to the type of the winning combination. While the downhill bell or the middle bell always wins, by performing the stop operation in an operation mode other than the specific operation mode according to the type of winning combination, the upper bell is aligned at 1/4, but 3/4 There are also cases where the transition bells are aligned without the upper bell being aligned.

  Therefore, when the push order bell is won, it is possible to change the expected value of the number of medals to be paid out depending on whether or not it is operated in a specific operation mode according to the type of the winning combination. In other words, even if one of the push order bells wins, it is not possible to intentionally select a specific operation mode without knowing the type, so it is possible to ensure that the lower right bell or the middle bell is 1/3 Although medals can be surely acquired by winning, the ratio of 2/3 can only be awarded to the upper bell by 1⁄4, and medals can not be surely acquired.

  When RB bell 1 (up right bell + up right ribebe) is won, and the stop operation is performed by pressing the left button, control is performed to align the combination of up right bells among the winning combinations for the winning line LN and to stop it. When the stop operation is performed by performing the middle push or the right push, control is performed to align and stop the combination of the upward and the lower right with the pay line LN.

  When RB Bell 2 (up right bell + up right Rivebe + up right Beriri) is won, and the stop operation is performed by middle pressing, the combination of up rising bells among the winning combination is aligned with the payline LN and stopped Control is performed, and when the stop operation is performed by the left push, control is performed to align and stop the combination of the upward bevel Bevel with the pay line LN, and when the stop operation is performed by the right push, the upward lift is Control is performed to align and stop the combination on the payline LN.

  RB bell 3 (middle bell + lower right bell + upper upper bell 1 + upper upper bell 2 + upper upper bell 3 + upper upper bell 4 + upper upper bell 5 + upper upper bell 6 + upper upper bell 7 + upper upper bell 8 + middle middle watermelon + right lower watermelon + upper watermelon + lower cherry + middle cherry If the +1 sheet combination + bell on the right + bell on the right (Bevel on the right + Libe on the right) is won, and the stop operation is performed by pressing the right, the combination of bells on the right among the winning combinations is aligned with the payline LN. Control is performed to stop, and when the stop operation is performed by left press or middle press, control is performed to align and stop the combination of bevels rising to the right with the pay line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the upper right bell, the upper right bell, and the upper bevel Bevel are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less on all reels, and when RB bells 1 to 4 are won, Regardless of the timing of the stop operation, any combination of bells rising to the right, Ribebe rising to the right, and Beveling rising to the right will be aligned on the payline LN and 10 medals will be paid out, but at a ratio of 1/3. Only the "bell-bell-bell" combination will be aligned to the upper right.

  In addition, although not particularly illustrated, when a bell (middle bell + right-down bell) is won, the combination of "bell-bell-bell" is aligned with the payline LN regardless of the stop order of the reel and the timing of operation. To be controlled.

  In addition, all roles (middle bell + right lower bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3 + upper bell 4 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7 + upper bell 8 + middle watermelon + right watermelon + upper watermelon + lower watermelon + lower cherry + middle When the winning combination of “Cherry + 1 combination + right rising bell + right rising Libebe)” is controlled so that the “bell-bell-bell” combination is aligned to the right regardless of the stop order of the reel and the timing of the operation. Ru.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14, the game is controlled to one of the normal gaming state, internal one, internal two, RB, BB (RB), and in the normal gaming state, any of RT0 to 4 Controlled by

  As described above, the RAM 41 c of the main control unit 41 is allocated an area where a gaming state flag capable of specifying a gaming state is stored, and an area where an RT flag capable of specifying a type of RT is stored. There is.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, as a lottery table in which the number of judgment values of the target combination is determined, a lottery table for 1 inside, a lottery table for 2 inside, a lottery table for RB, BB (RB) A lottery table and a lottery table for the normal gaming state are provided, and further, as a lottery table for the normal gaming state, a lottery table for RT0, a lottery table for RT1, a lottery table for RT2, a lottery table for RT3 , RT4 lottery table respectively.

  Then, in the internal lottery process, the gaming state and the type of RT are specified with reference to the value of the gaming state flag and the value of the RT flag stored in the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41, and the lottery table is selected accordingly. By performing a lottery using the selected lottery table, the lottery is performed with a winning probability according to the gaming state and the type of RT, for the lottery target role according to the gaming state and the type of RT.

  Specifically, with reference to the value of the gaming state flag stored in the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41, whether the current gaming state is BB (RB) or not, RB or not, or 1 inside. It is determined whether it is 2 inside or not, and if the current gaming state is BB (RB), for BB (RB) in which the target combination of internal lottery during BB (RB) and the number of its judgment value are stored If you are in RB, select the lottery table for RB in which the target combination of internal lottery in RB and the number of judgment values are stored, and perform lottery. If it is, then select the lottery table for the inside 1 in which the target combination of the inside lottery in the inside 1 and the number of judgment values are stored, and perform the lottery, and if it is 2 inside, the internal lottery at the inside 2 Extraction for the inside 2 in which the target role of the If the current gaming state is neither BB (RB), nor RB, nor inside 1, 2 or inside, ie, if it is a normal gaming state, it is further stored in the RAM 41 c while selecting a table and performing a lottery By selecting the normal lottery table in which the target combination of internal lottery and the number of judgment values are stored according to the type of RT specified from the value by referring to the value of the existing RT flag, and performing lottery, A lottery for a target combination according to each gaming state and type of RT is performed with a winning probability according to each gaming state and type of RT.

  In the normal RT0, when the promotion replay in the normal RT1 is won (when any of the replays GR1 to GR6 is won and the stop operation is performed in the order in which the promotion replay is won), the normal RT1 and the normal RT2 are Transfer when finished by the defined number of games. Then, regardless of the number of games after the transition to the normal RT0, the normal RT0 transitions to the normal RT1 by stopping the downturn replay play or the transition outcome stop, or to the normal RT2 by the special replay win The transition is completed, or the special role is won, and the process is ended by shifting to internal 1 or internal 2.

  Transition of normal RT0, normal RT2, normal RT3, normal RT4 or normal RT4 is stopped, normal fall is replayed in RT0, or normal RT2 is transitioned when special replay is won in normal RT2 Do. The normal RT1 is configured such that the number of remaining RT games is subtracted for each game, and the number of remaining RT games becomes 0 after being digested by the specified number of games (1000 G in this embodiment). Usually, transition to RT 0 or ending by transitioning to internal middle 1 or internal middle 2 by winning a special part.

  The normal RT2 is shifted when the special replay in the normal RT0 or the normal RT3 is won. The normal RT2 is configured such that the number of remaining RT games is subtracted for each game, and the number of remaining RT games becomes 0 after being digested by the specified number of games (30 G in the present embodiment). Transition to RT0 normally, SP replay is won, and transition to RT3 occurs, or transition transition stops and transition to RT1 takes place, or special role is won and internal 1 or 2 It ends by moving to.

  The normal RT3 is shifted when the SP replay is won in the normal RT2. Then, regardless of the number of games after the transition to RT3 in the normal RT3, whether the special replay is won and transition to the normal RT2 occurs, or the transition outcome is stopped and transition to the RT1 normally The special role is won and it ends by shifting to internal 1 or internal 2.

  Normally, RT4 transitions at the end of BB (RB) and RB. Then, regardless of the number of games after the transition to the normal RT4, in the normal RT4, the transition outcome is stopped and the transition to the RT1 is made, or the special part is won and the internal transition is made to the internal 1 or the internal 2 It ends by doing.

  The inside 1 is shifted when BB in the special role is won in the normal gaming state. Then, regardless of the number of games after internal transition, internal special 1 that ends the transition to internal internal 1 wins and ends with transition to BB (RB) or RB. .

  The inside 2 is shifted when an RB among special players in the normal gaming state is won. Then, regardless of the number of games after internal transition, internal special 2 ends when the special part that triggered the transition to internal internal 2 wins and moves to BB (RB) or RB .

  The RB shifts when the RB wins in 1 and 2 inside. Then, the RB ends by completing 12 games or winning six times.

  The BB (RB) transitions when the BB wins inside. Then, BB (RB) ends when the total number of medals paid out to BB (RB) exceeds the specified number regardless of the number of games after the transition to BB (RB).

  In addition, the slot machine in the present embodiment can execute navigation effects to notify information that can specify the pressing order for winning the navigation target role by the sub control unit 91 when the navigation target role is won. The presentation state can be controlled to an assist time (hereinafter referred to as AT) which is a notification period.

  Here, the gaming state of the present embodiment and the transition situation of RT will be described. As shown in FIG. 14, when RB or BB (RB) ends, the transition to normal RT4 is made.

  In normal RT4, when the transition outcome is stopped, the transition to RT1 is made, and when the special part is won, the inside 1 or the inside 2 is made according to the kind of the special part won.

  When any of the left bell 1 to 4, the middle bell 1 to 4, and the right bell 1 to 4 is won in the normal RT4 and the small part can not be won, the transition outcome will be stopped Therefore, any of the left bell 1 to 4, the middle bell 1 to 4, and the right bell 1 to 4 can be won in the normal / RT 4 shifted after the end of the RB or BB (RB), and the small part can be won. If not, it will shift to RT1 normally.

  In normal RT1, the special role is not won, and the promotion replay is not won, and the prescribed game number (1000 G) is consumed, or the promotion replay moves to normal RT0 by winning, and the special role is won. Transition to internal 1 or internal 2 depending on the type of special role won.

  Normally, replays GR1 to 6 will be won in RT1 and promotion replay will be won if the stop order is correct, so in normal RT1 the replays GR1 to 6 will be won and correct in the order of stop will usually be · It will shift to RT0.

  In normal RT0, the fall replay is won, or the transition is stopped and the transition to normal RT1 is made, and the special replay is won, the transition is made to normal RT2, and the special part is won, so it is won. Transition to internal 1 or internal 2 depending on the type of special role played.

  Normally, the replay GRs 11 to 16 are won in RT0, and the promotion replay is won when the stop order is correct, and the fall replay is won if the answer is incorrect. Also, in normal RT0, the replays GR21 to 25 are won, and the special replay is won when the stop order is correct, and the fall replay is won when the answer is incorrect. In addition, any one of the left bell 1 to 4, the middle bell 1 to 4, and the right bell 1 to 4 is won in the normal RT0, and the transition outcome is stopped when the small part can not be won. For this reason, in normal RT0, replay GR21 to 25 is won, and when the stop order is correct, transition to normal RT2 is made, and replay GR11 to 16 is won, and the stop order becomes incorrect or the left bell 1 If one of ~ 4, middle bell 1 to 4 and right bell 1 to 4 is won and the small winning combination can not be won, the normal shift to RT1 will be made.

  Normal RT2 does not win the special part, SP Replay does not get a prize, and it is transitioned to RT0 by digesting the prescribed number of games (30 G), and it shifts to RT0, and it shifts to RT3 by winning SP Replay, When the special part is won, it shifts to internal 1 or internal 2 depending on the type of special part won.

  Normally, replays GR 31 to 36 are won in RT 2 and SP replays are won by the correct stop order. In addition, when one of the left bell 1 to 4, the middle bell 1 to 4, and the right bell 1 to 4 is won in the normal / RT 2 and the small part can not be won, the transition appearance stops. Therefore, in the normal RT2, the replay GRs 31 to 36 are won, and when the stop order is correct, the normal RT3 is entered, and the left bell 1 to 4, the middle bell 1 to 4, the right bell 1 to 4 is selected. Is won, and when it is not possible to win a small winning combination, it will usually shift to RT1.

  Normal · In RT 3, Special Replay goes to RT 2 by winning a prize, and transition comes to a stop by going to Normal · RT 1, and a special part is won, depending on the kind of special part won. Transition to Medium 1 or Internal 2

  Normally, the replays GR 31 to 36 are won in RT 3 and the SP replay or the regular replay is won when the stop order is correct, and the special replay is won if the answer is incorrect. In addition, when any one of the left bell 1 to 4, the middle bell 1 to 4, and the right bell 1 to 4 is won in the normal / RT 3, the transition outcome is stopped when the small part can not be won. Therefore, in the normal RT3, the replay GRs 31 to 36 are won, and the stop order becomes incorrect, so that the transition to the normal RT 2 is made, and the left bell 1 to 4, the middle bell 1 to 4, the right bell 1 to 4 If one of the prizes is won and the small winning combination can not be won, the transition to the normal RT1 will be made.

  In the insides 1 and 2, the special role that triggered the transition to the inside shifts to RB or BB (RB) by winning.

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

  First, the control contents of the activation process (sub) performed by the sub control unit 91 in the present embodiment will be described based on FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 18, when the system reset signal is input from the reset circuit 95, the sub control unit 91 performs start processing (sub).

  First, the sub control unit 91 initializes the built-in device, the peripheral IC, the interrupt mode, the stack pointer and the like (Sn1), and permits access to the RAM 91c (Sn2). Next, it is determined whether or not the return command generated in Sa12 of the start process (main) of FIG. 6 has been received from the main control unit 41 (Sn3). When the return command is not received, it is determined whether the setting change in-progress command generated in Sa16 of the start process (main) of FIG. 6 is received from the main control unit 41 (Sn4). If the command under setting change is received, a setting reception command flag indicating that the command under setting change is received is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c (Sn5).

  When the return command is received and when the command under setting change is received, it is determined whether or not there is backup data in the RAM 91 c. Whether or not there is backup data in the RAM 91c is confirmed, for example, by whether or not there is a backup flag set in the RAM 91c in a power-off process described later (Sn6). If the backup flag is not set in the step of Sn6, the RAM 91c is initialized (Sn13). On the other hand, if it is determined in Sn6 that the backup flag is set, the data in the RAM is normal, so the backup flag is cleared (Sn7).

  If the backup flag is cleared in the step of Sn7, the RAM parity of all the storage areas of the RAM 91c is calculated (Sn8). In the step of Sn9, it is determined whether or not the RAM parity calculated in the step of Sn8 is zero. If the RAM parity is not 0 in the step of Sn9, initialization of the RAM 91c is executed (Sn13).

  If the RAM parity is 0 in the step of Sn9, it is determined whether or not the setting change-in-time command reception flag is stored in the RAM 91c (Sn10).

  If the setting change-in-command reception flag is stored in the RAM 91 c, initialization of the RAM 91 c is executed (Sn13). If the setting change in-progress command reception flag is not stored in the RAM 91 c, the recovery process is executed based on the backed up data (Sn11). If it is determined in step Sn4 that the command under setting change is not received, whether or not the error command generated in Sa22 of the start process (main) of FIG. 6 is received from the main control unit 41 It is determined whether or not (Sn14). If it is determined that an error command has been received, the process proceeds to the step of Sn15, initialization of the RAM 91c is performed, and error processing is performed (Sn16). In the error processing, an error notification is made. For example, when the error state is released by operating the reset / setting switch 38 by the game clerk, the error notification is ended and the original state is restored. If it is determined that the error command has not been received, that is, if the setting change command, the return command, and the error command have not been received, the RAM 91c is initialized (Sn13).

  Next, timer interrupt processing (sub) executed by the sub control unit 91 (CPU 91c) at an interval of 1.12 seconds based on the count value of the internal clock will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 19, in the timer interrupt process (sub), the sub control unit 91 first saves the register being used to the stack area (Sp1). Next, a power failure determination process is performed (Sp2). In the power failure determination process, it is determined whether or not the voltage drop signal is input from the power failure detection circuit 48. If the voltage drop signal is input, the voltage drop signal is also input in the previous power failure determination process. If a voltage drop signal is input even in the previous power failure determination process, it is determined that a power failure has occurred, and a power failure flag indicating that is set.

  After the power failure determination processing in the step Sp2, it is determined whether or not the power failure flag is set (Sp3), and if the power failure flag is set, the processing shifts to power failure processing (sub). In the power-off process (sub), the backup flag used in the determination of Sn6 in the start process (sub) shown in FIG. 18 is set after creation of the backup data, or used in the determination of Sn9 in the start process (sub) shown in FIG. Execute processing such as calculating checksum by calculating exclusive OR of backup data.

  If the power-off flag is not set, command analysis processing is executed (Sp4). In command analysis processing, it is determined whether or not a command is stored in the command buffer, and if the command is stored in the command buffer, the command is acquired from the command buffer. Then, the processing corresponding to the acquired command is executed.

  In the step Sp5, an AT lottery process is executed to determine whether to control the AT and to determine the number of navistocks to be given (Sp5).

  In step Sp6, a table transition lottery process is performed to determine a table used in the game number lottery for determining the number of games in the AT (Sp6).

  In the step of Sp7, when the left bell is won, the first effect which suggests that the down-to-right bell can be won (that is, the symbol combination constituting the down-to-right bell can be stopped on the pay line) Execute a first navigation presentation execution process for executing (Sp7).

  In the step of Sp8, when winning the left bell, a second effect informing that the right falling bell can be won (that is, that the symbol combination constituting the right falling bell can be stopped on the pay line) Execute the second navigation presentation execution process for executing (Sp8).

  In the step Sp9, effect execution start processing is performed to start the execution of the recommended procedure effect capable of specifying the operation of the stop switch in the recommended procedure (that is, the left first stop) (Sp9).

  In step Sp10, when the recommended procedure for identifying the recommended procedure of the stop switch operation (i.e., the left first stop) is executed, the effect execution end process for ending the recommended procedure for execution is executed. (Sp9).

  In the step of Sp11, when an operation other than the left first stop is performed, a penalty flag setting process is performed to set a penalty flag indicating that a penalty is to be given (Sp11).

  In step Sp12, a recommended procedure notification determination process is performed to determine whether or not to perform a notification prompting the user to perform an operation at the left first stop which is a recommended procedure (Sp12).

  In the step Sp13, a recommended procedure notification start process for starting a notification prompting the user to perform an operation in the left first stop which is a recommended procedure is executed (Sp13).

  In the step Sp14, a recommended procedure notification start process for ending a notification prompting the user to perform an operation at the left first stop which is a recommended procedure is executed (Sp14).

  In step Sp15, a penalty flag clear process is performed to clear the set penalty flag (Sp15).

  In the present embodiment, the processing of Sp7 to Sp15 is performed only during non-AT. However, the processing of Sp7 to Sp15 may be performed only during AT or may be performed both during AT and during non-AT.

  FIGS. 20 and 21 are diagrams for explaining an example of a table to be referred to in the AT lottery in which it is determined whether to give the navi stock number and how much the navi stock is to be given.

  The sub control unit 91 performs an AT lottery whether or not to control to the AT by executing an AT lottery process described later. In the AT lottery process, it is determined whether or not a predetermined lottery condition is established based on a command from the main control unit 41, and when it is established, an AT lottery is executed. In the AT lottery, it is determined whether to give the navistock number and how much to give the navistock number. That is, when it is determined to give the navistock, the AT lottery is won, and it is controlled by the AT.

  The number of navistocks indicates a period in which the AT can be controlled. By consuming (subtracting) one navi stock number, it is controlled by the AT for a predetermined number of games (in the present embodiment, 30 G, 50 G, 70 G, 90 G, 111 G, 222 G, 333 G, 555 G), and in the meanwhile navi presentation is To be executed. For this reason, it can be said that the player has a high degree of advantage because the larger the determined number of navistocks, the longer it is controlled by the AT.

  The AT lottery condition is composed of condition 1 and condition 2. Condition 1 is satisfied when RT0 to 4 are cherries (weak cherries, strong cherries, middle-tier cherries) which are the lottery target roles of the internal lottery described above or SP replays which are the lottery target roles of the internal lotterys as well. Condition 2 is satisfied when BB or RB ends.

  When the lottery mode is the normal mode (weak cherries, strong cherries, middle cherries) or when SP replay is won and Condition 1 of the AT lottery conditions is satisfied, FIG. The AT lottery is performed with reference to the normal mode table shown in a). The sub-control unit 91 specifies that the normal state is RT0 to 4 based on, for example, the gaming state command from the main control unit 41, and based on the internal winning command, cherry (weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry) or Identify winning SP replay. Further, the sub-control unit 91 specifies that the lottery mode is the normal mode based on the value of the lottery mode flag set in the RAM 91 c.

  When the table for the normal mode shown in FIG. 20A is referred to, if the winning combination is weak cherry, the navistock number is determined to be 0 at a rate of 95%, and the navistock number is 1 at a rate of 5%. As decided on, the AT lottery is performed, and the expected number of navistocks that can be expected to be acquired in one AT lottery is 0.05 (= 0 × 95) from the sum of navistock number × wining rate. % + 1 × 5%).

  When the table for the normal mode shown in FIG. 20A is referred to, if the winning combination is a strong cherry, the navistock number is determined to be 0 at a 70% rate, and the navistock number is 1 at a 20% rate. At the same time, the AT lotteries will be held so that the navistock number will be determined to be 2 at a rate of 8%, and the navistock number will be determined to be 3 at a rate of 2%, Is expected to be 0.42 (= 0 x 70% + 1 x 20% + 2 x 8% + 3 x 2%) from the sum of navi stock number x winning rate .

  When the table for the normal mode shown in FIG. 20A is referred to, if the winning combination is middle cherry or SP replay, the number of navistocks is determined to be 1 at 70% and navistock at 20%. The AT lottery is performed so that the number is determined to be 2 and the navistock number is determined to be 3 at a ratio of 10%, and the expected navistock number that can be expected to be acquired in one AT lottery is navi It is comprised so that it may be set to 1.4 (= 0x70% + 1x20% + 2x8% + 3x2%) from the sum of stock number x winning rate.

  Usually, when RT is 0 to 4 and the lottery mode is the high probability A mode, and cherry (weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry) or SP replay is won and Condition 1 of the AT lottery condition is satisfied, FIG. An AT lottery is performed with reference to the high probability A mode table shown in (b). The sub-control unit 91 specifies that the normal state is RT0 to 4 based on, for example, the gaming state command from the main control unit 41, and based on the internal winning command, cherry (weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry) or Identify winning SP replay. Further, the sub-control unit 91 specifies that the lottery mode is the high probability A mode based on the value of the lottery mode flag set in the RAM 91 c.

  When the table for high probability A mode shown in FIG. 20 (b) is referred to, if the winning combination is weak cherry, the number of navistocks is determined to be 0 at a rate of 70%, and the number of navistocks at a rate of 20%. AT is decided so that 1 will be decided, 8% will be decided on the number of navistock and 2% will be decided on 3 in the number of navistock, AT lottery will be held and won in one AT lottery Is expected to be 0.42 (= 0 x 70% + 1 x 20% + 2 x 8% + 3 x 2%) from the sum of the navi stock number x the winning rate ing.

  When the table for high probability A mode shown in FIG. 20 (b) is referred to, if the winning combination is a strong cherry, the number of navistocks is determined to be 1 at a rate of 70% and the number of navistocks at a rate of 20%. AT is decided so that 2 will be decided and the number of navistocks will be decided in 3 at a rate of 10%, the expected number of navistocks expected to be acquired in one AT lottery will be navistock It is comprised so that it may become 1.4 (= 0x70% + 1x20% + 2x8% + 3x2%) from the sum of a number x prize-winning rate.

  When the table for high probability A mode shown in FIG. 20B is referred to, if the winning combination is middle level cherry or SP replay, the number of navistocks is determined to be 2 at a rate of 80%, and at a rate of 20%. The AT lottery is performed so that the number of navi stock is determined to be 3, and the expected number of navi stock expected to be acquired in one AT lottery is 2.2 of the number of navi stock x the winning ratio. It is configured to be (= 2 × 80% + 3 × 20%).

  Usually, when RT is 0 to 4 and the lottery mode is the high probability B mode and cherry (weak cherries, strong cherries, middle cherries) or SP replay is won and condition 1 of the AT lottery condition is satisfied, FIG. The AT lottery is performed with reference to the high probability B mode table shown in (c). The sub-control unit 91 specifies that the normal state is RT0 to 4 based on, for example, the gaming state command from the main control unit 41, and based on the internal winning command, cherry (weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry) or Identify winning SP replay. Further, the sub control unit 91 specifies that the lottery mode is the high probability B mode based on the value of the lottery mode flag set in the RAM 91 c.

  When the table for high probability B mode shown in FIG. 20C is referred to, if the winning combination is weak cherry, the number of navistocks is determined to be 1 at a ratio of 70%, and the number of navistocks at a ratio of 20% AT is decided so that 2 will be decided and the number of navistocks will be decided in 3 at a rate of 10%, the expected number of navistocks expected to be acquired in one AT lottery will be navistock It is comprised so that it may become 1.4 (= 0x70% + 1x20% + 2x8% + 3x2%) from the sum of a number x prize-winning rate.

  When the table for high probability B mode shown in FIG. 20C is referred to, if the winning combination is a strong cherry, the number of navistocks is determined to be 2 at a rate of 80% and the number of navistocks at a rate of 20% As the AT is determined to be 3, the AT lottery is performed, and the expected number of navistocks that can be expected to be acquired in one AT lottery is 2.2 (= 2 It is configured to be × 80% + 3 × 20%).

  When the table for high probability B mode shown in FIG. 20C is referred to, it is RT0, 1, 4 and if the winning combination is middle stage cherry or SP replay, the number of navi stock is 3 at a ratio of 100%. As determined, the AT lottery is performed, and the expected number of navistocks that can be expected to be acquired in one AT lottery is 3 (= 3 × 100%) from the sum of the navistock number × the winning rate It is configured to be

  When the high probability B mode table shown in FIG. 20C is referred to, RT2 and RT3 are made, and if the winning combination is SP replay, the number of navistocks is determined to be 1 at a ratio of 70%, and 20% The AT lottery is conducted so that the navigation stock number is determined to be 2 at the ratio of 10 and the navigation stock number is determined to be 3 at the ratio of 10%. Expected navigation that can be expected to be acquired in one AT lottery The stock number is configured to be 1.4 (= 0 × 70% + 1 × 20% + 2 × 8% + 3 × 2%) from the sum of the navistock number × the winning rate.

  As described above, when the normal RT is 0 to 4 and the lottery mode is the high probability A mode, it is possible to expect winning of a large number of navi stock numbers compared to the normal mode. Furthermore, when the lottery mode is the high probability B mode, it is possible to expect to win more navigation stock numbers than the normal mode and the high probability A mode.

  Further, when condition 2 of the AT lottery condition is satisfied by the end of the BB and no penalty is given to the player, the AT lottery is performed with reference to the first non-penalty table shown in FIG. 21 (a). The sub control unit 91 specifies the end of the BB based on, for example, the game state command from the main control unit 41.

  When the first penalty-free table shown in FIG. 21A is referred to, at the end of BB 1 to 3 (at the end of BB accompanying the winning of BB 1 to 3), the navistock number is 0 at a rate of 70%. At the rate of 20%, the navistock number is determined to be 1, the navistock number is determined to be 2 at 5%, and the navistock number is determined to be 3 at 5%. The lottery is performed, and the expected number of navistocks that can be expected to be acquired in one AT lottery is 0.45 (= 0 × 70% + 1 × 20% + 2 × 5) from the sum of the number of navistocks × the winning rate % + 3 × 5%).

  When the first penalty-free table shown in FIG. 21 (a) is referred to, the navistock number is determined to be 3 at a rate of 100% at the end of BB4 (at the end of BB following the BB4 winning). Thus, the AT lottery is performed, and the expected navistock number that can be expected to be acquired in one AT lottery is 3 (= 3 × 100%) from the sum of the navistock number × the winning rate It is configured.

  As described above, at the end of BB1 to BB3, it is possible to expect winning of the navistock, but at the end of BB4, winning of three navistocks is decided.

  Further, when the AT lottery condition is satisfied by the end of RB and no penalty is given to the player, the AT lottery is performed with reference to the second no penalty table shown in FIG. 21 (b). The sub control unit 91 specifies the end of the RB based on, for example, the game state command from the main control unit 41. The sub-control unit 91 uses the liquid crystal display 51 to produce the effect of Janken chance in each game in the RB. The Janken chance determines the victory or defeat by Janken according to the winning combination of the game and the first stop reel selected by the player, and gives the above-mentioned win / loss points according to the result.

  When the second penalty-free table shown in FIG. 21 (b) is referred to, the navistock number is determined by the win rate according to the win / loss points awarded at the Janken chance played in each game in RB. AT lottery will be held.

  Specifically, at 0 to 7 points, an AT lottery is performed so that the navistock number is determined to be 0 at a rate of 95% and the navistock number is determined to be 1 at a rate of 5%, and one AT The expected number of navistocks that can be expected to be obtained by lottery is configured to be 0.05 (= 0 × 95% + 1 × 5%) from the sum of the number of navistocks × the winning rate.

  At 8-15 points, the navistock number is determined to be 0 at 70%, navistock number is determined to be 1 at 20%, and navistock number is determined to be 2 at 8%, 2% The AT lottery is performed so that the number of navistocks is determined to be 3 at a ratio of 3, and the expected number of navistocks that can be expected to be acquired in one AT lottery is from the sum of navistock number x winning rate It is configured to be 0.42 (= 0 × 70% + 1 × 20% + 2 × 8% + 3 × 2%).

  At 16-23 points, the navistock number is determined to be 1 at 70%, navistock number is determined to be 2 at 20%, and navistock number is determined to be 3 at 10%. , The AT lottery is performed, and the expected number of navistocks that can be expected to be acquired in one AT lottery is 1.4 (= 0 × 70% + 1 × 20% + 2 from the sum of the navistock number × the winning rate) It is configured to be × 8% + 3 × 2%).

  At 24 to 31 points, an AT lottery is conducted so that the navistock number is determined to be 2 at a rate of 80% and the navistock number is determined to be 3 at a rate of 20% and won in one AT lottery The expected navistock number that can be expected to be made is configured to be 2.2 (= 2 × 80% + 3 × 20%) from the sum of navistock number × wining rate.

  At 32 points or more, the AT lottery is performed so that the number of navistocks is determined to be 3 at a rate of 100%, and the expected number of navistocks that can be expected to be acquired in one AT lottery is the number of navistocks It is configured to be 3 (= 3 × 100%) from the sum of the winning rates.

  As described above, at the end of RB, the expected value of the number of wins of the navigation stock number differs according to the number of wins and losses points acquired during RB, and the larger the number of wins and losses points, the more prizes of navigation stock can be expected. In particular, if 16 points or more win points have been won, one or more navistock numbers have been won, and if 32 points or more win points have been won, three or more navistock numbers won Is finalized.

  Further, when the condition 2 of the AT lottery condition is satisfied in a period in which the penalty flag is set, that is, the penalty period, the AT lottery is performed with reference to the penalty assignment table shown in FIG. The sub control unit 91 specifies the end of BB or RB based on, for example, a game state command from the main control unit 41. As described later, when the condition 1 of the AT lottery condition is satisfied in the penalty period, the AT lottery is not performed, and therefore the penalty assignment table is not used.

  When the penalty giving table shown in FIG. 21 (c) is referred to, the number of navistocks becomes 0 at a rate of 99% regardless of whether the ended bonus is BB or RB and the type of BB ended. An AT lottery is conducted so that the number of navigation stock is determined to be 1 at a ratio of 1%, and the expected number of navigation stock expected to be acquired in one AT lottery is the number of navigation stock × winning From the sum of the rates, it is configured to be 0.01 (= 0 × 99% + 1 × 1%).

  As described above, in the penalty period, there is a high possibility that the number of navistocks is smaller at the time other than the penalty period than when the BB end or the RB end. In addition, the penalty assignment table shown in FIG. 21 (c) obtains a larger number of navigation stock numbers compared to the first non-penalty table and the second non-penalty table shown in FIGS. 21 (a) and 21 (b). At the most disadvantage to the player.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, it is determined by the AT lottery process performed by the sub control unit 91 whether or not the lottery conditions are satisfied, and when the lottery conditions are satisfied, the AT lottery is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 21D, in the AT lottery, when Condition 1 of the AT lottery conditions is satisfied, the AT lottery is not performed during the penalty period, and a penalty is given to the player, A table (a normal mode table, a high probability A mode table, and a high probability B mode table) corresponding to the lottery mode is referred to. On the other hand, when the condition 2 of the AT drawing condition is satisfied, the penalty giving table is referred to in case of giving a penalty to the player, and the penalty no table (with no first penalty when not giving the player a penalty) The table, second no penalty table) is referred to.

  FIG. 22 is a flowchart of the AT lottery process performed in the timer interrupt process (sub).

  As shown in FIG. 22, in the AT lottery process, the sub-control unit 91 first determines whether Condition 2 of the AT lottery conditions is satisfied, that is, whether BB is completed or RB is completed (Sq1). When the condition 2 is satisfied, it is determined whether or not the penalty flag is set in Sc4 of FIG. 30 (Sq2). When the penalty flag is not set (that is, during the penalty period), at the end of BB, the table with no first penalty in FIG. 21 (a), and at the end of RB, the second penalty in FIG. 21 (b). Select the none table (Sq3). When the penalty flag is set (that is, during the penalty period), the penalty giving table shown in FIG. 21C is selected at the end of BB or at the end of RB (Sq 7). . Then, the sub control unit 91 executes the AT lottery with reference to the selected table (Sq 4). When an AT lottery is won (Sq5), an AT flag indicating that it is an AT and the navi stock number is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c (Sq6). As described above, even if the condition 2 is satisfied, the penalty awarding table is selected during the penalty period, which is a condition that is disadvantageous for the player in deciding whether to control the AT.

  On the other hand, if the sub control unit 91 determines that the condition 2 of the AT lottery condition is not satisfied in Sq1, whether or not the condition 1 of the AT lottery condition is satisfied, ie, when cherry or SP replay is won It is determined whether or not (Sq 8). When it is determined that the condition 1 is satisfied, it is determined whether or not the penalty flag is set in Sc4 of FIG. 30 (Sq9). If the penalty flag is not set (that is, if it is not in the penalty period), a table (a table for normal mode, a table for high probability A mode, a table for high probability B mode) corresponding to the lottery mode Select (Sq10). Then, the AT lottery is executed with reference to the selected table (Sq4). When an AT lottery is won (Sq5), an AT flag indicating that it is an AT and the navi stock number is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c (Sq6). If the penalty flag is set (ie, during the penalty period), the process is ended without the AT lottery being performed. As described above, even if the condition 1 is satisfied, the AT lottery is not performed during the penalty period, which is a disadvantageous condition for the player in deciding whether or not to control the AT. In addition, when it is determined in Sq8 that the condition 1 is not satisfied, the processing is ended without performing the AT lottery.

  The sub control unit 91 specifies whether or not to control to the AT based on the AT flag of the RAM 91 c, and specifies the remaining number of navistocks. When the AT flag indicating that it is AT is set, one navigation stock number is consumed and can be controlled to AT.

  In addition, when the AT flag indicating that it is AT is set, when the navistock number is acquired, the navistock number specified this time is added to the navistock number specified from the AT flag, and the AT flag is added. Update (Sq 6).

  The sub control unit 91 performs an AT control process (not shown) executed in the timer interrupt process (sub) shown in FIG. Manages control to AT based on AT flag set accordingly.

  Specifically, when it is specified from the AT flag that the AT flag is normal, the sub-control unit 91 controls to AT. That is, when navigation stock remains, control of AT is started. In the period from the normal RT1 to the normal RT0, the navigation stock can be performed under control of the AT without consuming (subtracting) the number of navistocks.

  When being controlled by AT, when the predetermined number of games in regular / RT1 or normal / RT0 are controlled or in regular / RT0 or normal / RT2, the navistock number is consumed (subtracted) by 1 The start condition to ART (assist replay time) is satisfied, and during a predetermined number of games (in the present embodiment, the number of games won by lottery of the number of games to be described later) , RT2 and AT3 at RT. When one navistock number is consumed, the AT flag indicating the navistock number decremented by 1 is updated.

  When one sub-control unit 91 consumes navistock in AT control processing, that is, when a transition is made from normal RT1 to normal RT0 or when a predetermined number of games in normal RT0 or normal RT2 has passed, the navistock The number-of-games lottery is performed to determine the number of games for which the navi effect to be executed is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 23, the number-of-games lottery is performed with reference to Tables 1 to 4. In the game number lottery, the number of games of 30G, 50G, 70G, 90G, 111G, 222G, 333G, 555G is determined by lottery. When Table 1 is referred to, the average number of games selected is about 40 G, and when Table 2 is referred to, the average number of games selected is about 45 G. If Table 3 is referred to, the average selected is average The number of games is approximately 50 G, and when Table 4 is referred to, the average number of games selected is determined to be approximately 60 G.

  These tables 1 to 4 are designed to shift to a table having a larger number of average games by winning a table shift lottery in a table shift lottery process described later. As a trigger for the table transition lottery to be performed, despite nabistock remaining in the AT, when winning in the latent lottery and the navi effect is not executed, once it shifts to RT4, the normal replay during the AT In some cases, the player has won a predetermined number of times in a row. Then, these tables shift to a table with a small average number of games when, for example, the transition outcome is completed with RT4 and no navistock remaining.

  FIG. 24 is a flowchart of the table transition lottery process executed in the timer interrupt process (sub).

  As shown in FIG. 24, in the table transfer lottery process, it is first determined whether the lottery condition is satisfied (Sb1). If the lottery condition is satisfied, it is determined whether or not the penalty flag is set at Sc4 in FIG. 30 (Sb2). If the penalty flag is set, the sub-control unit 91 forcibly sets the table 1 by setting the type of the table stored in the predetermined area of the RAM 91c to the table 1 (Sb3). On the other hand, when the penalty flag is not set, a table shift lottery is performed (Sb4). As described above, during the penalty period (period in which the penalty flag is set), since the average number of games in AT is set to Table 1 which is smaller than in Tables 2 to 4, the number of games in AT is set. It is a disadvantage for the player when making a decision. This can reduce the willingness to commit fraud and is effective in deterring fraud.

  Further, the sub-control unit 91 consumes one navistock, and when the number of AT games is determined by lottery, the sub-control unit 91 executes a game number notification effect of notifying the determined number of AT games. In the game number notification effect, when one navistock is consumed, the player is urged to operate the production switch 56, and the game number is informed in response to the production switch 56 being operated. It is.

  In the game number notification effect, if the number of games won in the game number lottery is 90 or less, the number of games won in response to one operation of the effect switch 56 is notified, while 111 or more Once the 90 game has been notified, operation of the effect switch 56 is further prompted, and finally determined in response to the effect switch 56 being operated. The number of games played is notified so that the player's expectation can be further enhanced.

  In addition, when the setting operation of the bet number is made without the operation switch 56 being operated, and the game number informing effect is canceled, the game number is counted while “???” is displayed as the game number. Is started, and an effect of asking whether the AT is finished or not is performed for each number of games that can be won by the number-of-games lottery. Therefore, the player can also know the number of AT games accompanying the navigation stock by operating the effect switch 56 at the time of consumption of the navigation stock, or the number of games without operating the effect switch 56. By canceling the informing effect, it is possible to make sure that the sense of expectation is sustained until the end, by not knowing how long it will last until the AT ends.

  The sub control unit 91 stores the number of games won in the game number lottery in a predetermined area of the RAM 91 c. The sub control unit 91 controls the AT in a period until the number of games in the RAM 91 c becomes zero. When the number of games remains and the target role of the navigation is won, the navigation effect is executed.

  Further, the sub control unit 91 performs the AT control processing, and controls the non-AT when the number of remaining games is 0 when the sub game is ART. At this time, if the navi stock number indicated by the AT flag is 0, the AT flag indicating that it is not an AT is updated. That is, a series of AT termination conditions are satisfied when the AT flag when controlling from AT to non-AT is navistock number 0.

  When it is specified from the AT flag when it is controlled to be non-AT, it is not controlled by AT again, and the navigation effect is not executed. As a result, when the normal RT0 or the normal RT2 is generated, the possibility that the transition appearances are aligned is increased, and the possibility of being controlled to the normal RT1 is increased.

  On the other hand, if the number of navi stock specified from the AT flag when controlled to non-AT is 1 or more, the navi stock number is consumed by one when the target role of navi presentation is won, and the number of games is lottery , AT is controlled over the number of games won. The number of navi stock is also 0, and the number of navis is 0, whereby the AT ends.

  When the sub control unit 91 performs the AT control processing and the AT flag is identified as the AT flag, the sub control unit 91 executes the navigation effect by winning the navigation object combination according to the gaming state. The navigation target roles according to the game state are Replay GR1 to 6 when Normal RT1 and Replay GR11 to 16 and Replay GR21 to 25 when RT0, and Replay GR31 when RT2 ~ 36. In addition, in normal RT0 to 3, push order bell is a common navigation target role.

  As the navi effect when winning in the replays GR1 to GR6, the pressing order for winning the promotion replay is informed according to the winning situation. For example, as the navigation effect when winning the replay GR 1, a message “left middle right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as the navigation effect when the replay GR 2 is won, a message such as “right and left middle!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as the navigation effect when the replay GR 3 is won, a message such as “middle left and right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as the navigation effect when the replay GR 4 is won, a message such as “middle right left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as the navigation effect when the replay GR 5 is won, a message such as “right, left, middle!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as the navigation effect when the replay GR 6 is won, a message such as “right middle left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  As the navigation effect when winning in the replays GR11 to GR16, a pressing order for winning the promotion replay is informed according to the winning situation. For example, as the navigation effect when the player wins the replay GR11, a message “left middle right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as the navigation effect when the replay GR 12 is won, a message such as “right and left middle!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as the navigation effect when the replay GR 13 is won, a message such as “middle left and right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as the navigation effect when the replay GR 14 is won, a message such as “middle right left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as the navigation effect when the replay GR 15 is won, a message such as “right, left, middle!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as the navigation effect when the replay GR 16 is won, a message such as “right middle left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  As the navigation effect when the player wins the replays GR21 to 25, a push order for winning special replay is notified according to the winning situation. For example, as the navigation effect when the player wins the replay GR21, a message such as “left middle right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as the navigation effect when the replay GR 22 is won, a message such as “right and left middle!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as the navigation effect when the replay GR 23 is won, a message such as “middle left and right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as the navigation effect when the replay GR 24 is won, a message such as “middle right left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as the navigation effect when the replay GR 25 is won, a message such as “right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  As the navi effect (except for RT3) when winning in the replays GR31 to GR36, a pressing order for winning an SP replay is informed according to the winning situation. For example, as the navigation effect when the player wins the replay GR31, a message such as “left middle right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, as the navigation effect when the replay GR 32 is won, a message such as “right and left middle!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as the navigation effect when the replay GR 33 is won, a message such as “middle left and right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as the navigation effect when the replay GR 34 is won, a message such as “middle right left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as the navigation effect when the replay GR 35 is won, a message such as “right, left, middle!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as the navigation effect when the replay GR 36 is won, a message such as “right middle left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

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

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

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

  And, by performing the navigation effect, it is possible to make a promotion replay winning which is intentionally won, a special replay winning, an SP replay winning, a bell winning, and a fall replay winning avoidance.

  As shown in FIG. 25, in the AT control processing, the sub control unit 91 determines whether the AT lottery mode is set to the normal mode, the high probability A mode, or the high probability B mode. Perform a mode lottery. In the lottery mode lottery, based on a command from the main control unit 41, predetermined lottery conditions (in the present embodiment, watermelons (weak watermelons, strong watermelons) which are the lottery target roles of the internal lottery described above for normal RT0 to 4) It is determined whether or not (at the time of AT end) is established, and when it is established, a lottery mode lottery is executed.

  The lottery mode indicates the winning probability of the navi stock number applied to the AT lottery as described above. The higher probability A mode than the normal mode and the higher probability B mode than the high probability mode A can be expected to obtain more navigation stock numbers.

  When the lottery mode lottery condition is satisfied by winning the weak watermelon in the normal / RT 0 to 4, the lottery mode lottery is performed with reference to the table corresponding to the weak watermelon in FIG. The sub-control unit 91 specifies normal RT0 to 4 based on, for example, the game state command from the main control unit 41, and specifies weak watermelon winning based on the internal winning command.

  When the table corresponding to weak watermelon in FIG. 25 is referred to, the normal mode is determined at a rate of 50%, the high probability A mode is determined at a rate of 40%, and the high probability B mode is determined at a rate of 10%. A lottery mode lottery is performed so as to be performed.

  When the lottery mode lottery condition is satisfied by winning the strong watermelon in the normal / RT 0 to 4, the lottery mode lottery is performed with reference to the table corresponding to the strong watermelon in FIG. The sub-control unit 91 specifies normal RT0 to 4 based on the game state command from the main control unit 41, for example, and specifies strong watermelon winning based on the internal winning command.

  When the table corresponding to the strong watermelon shown in FIG. 25 is referred to, a lottery mode lottery is performed so that the high probability A mode is determined at a rate of 50% and the high probability B mode is determined at a rate of 50%. .

  When the lottery mode lottery condition is satisfied by the AT end, the lottery mode lottery is performed with reference to the table corresponding to the AT end time of FIG. The sub control unit 91 specifies the end of AT based on, for example, the AT flag and the number of remaining games.

  When the table corresponding to the end of AT in FIG. 25 is referred to, the lottery mode lottery is performed so that the high probability A mode is determined at a rate of 80% and the high probability B mode is determined at a rate of 20%. .

  Also, when the high probability mode A, B is controlled, the mode fall lottery is performed at the time of winning the normal replay of the normal RT0, 1, 2, 4 and the high probability mode A, and the normal RT0, 1 If it is 4, it shifts to the normal mode with a probability of about 1/9 at the time of normal replay winning, and if it is normal RT2, it shifts to the normal mode with the probability of about 1/60 at the time of regular replay winning, it is high If it is probability mode B, and it is normal RT0, 1, and 4, it will shift to high probability mode A with about 1/3 probability at the time of a regular replay winning, and if normal RT2, it will be about about a regular replay winning. Transition to the high probability mode A with a probability of 1/20.

  Next, a first navigation presentation effect execution process executed in the timer interrupt process (sub) of FIG. 19 will be described using FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 26, first, the sub control unit 91 identifies the result of the internal lottery from the internal winning command received from the main control unit 41, and determines whether or not the left bell is won (Sv1). If the player has not won the left bell, the process ends. If the left bell is won, a bell winning flag indicating that the left bell is won is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c (Sv2). Next, a prize that indicates that the right-down bell can be won (see FIGS. 11 and 17) (that is, a state in which the symbol combination that constitutes the right-down bell is allowed to stop on the pay line) The result suggestion screen is displayed from the liquid crystal display 51 (Sv3).

  In the winning result suggestion screen, for example, the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image indicating that the downhill bell can win and an image indicating that other winning results will be obtained. In this way, by displaying a plurality of winning results, it is possible to indicate that the downhill bell is one of the winning result candidates, and to suggest that the downhill bell can be won.

  Next, the second effect execution process executed in the timer interrupt process (sub) of FIG. 19 will be described using FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 27, first, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the bell winning flag is set in Sv2 of FIG. 26 (Sy1). If the bell winning flag is not set, the process ends. When the bell winning flag is set, it is determined whether or not the stop switch is operated in the specific operation procedure based on the reel stop command received from the main control unit 41 (in the present embodiment, the first left stop). Thus, it is determined whether or not the stop switch 8L is pressed first (Sy2). That is, in Sy1, it is determined whether or not the left push has been performed. If the stop switch 8L is pressed for the first left stop, the possibility of winning the bell falling lower than the winning result suggestion screen is higher (in the present embodiment, the bell falling lower can win) Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 (Sy3). Next, the bell winning flag is cleared and the process is ended (Sy5). In addition, when the stop switch 8L is pressed for the first time so that the left bell is won and the first stop to the left is made, the bell falling to the right can be won and "Plum" or "Replay" on the payline LN When the stop switch 8L is pressed for the first stop so that the first left stop is also made when the normal replay that is the winning combination other than the left bell is won although the symbol of "" is stopped (see FIG. 11) The symbols "Plum" and "Replay" stop on the pay line LN (see FIG. 12). However, since the player can recognize that the downhill bell can be won by the win result determination screen, the winning combination can be obtained by aligning the symbol combination of the downhill bell.

  In the winning result determination screen, for example, only the image indicating that the downhill bell can be won is displayed from the liquid crystal display 51. On the other hand, in the winning result suggestion screen, for example, the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image showing that the downhill bell is winning possible and an image showing that other winning results will be obtained. Therefore, the winning result determination screen can indicate that the winning possibility of the bell falling to the lower right is higher than the winning result suggestion screen displaying a plurality of winning candidates. In the present embodiment, by displaying only an image showing that the down-to-right bell can be won, it is informed that the down-to-right bell will surely win.

  On the other hand, when the stop switch 8L is not pressed first to become the left first stop (that is, the stop switch 8C is pressed first to become the middle first stop or the right stop becomes the first stop) When the switch 8R is pressed for the first time, in other words, when middle pressing or right pressing is performed, as shown in FIG. The special control which continues the display of the winning result suggestion screen displayed in Sv3 of 26 is executed (Sy4). Next, the bell winning flag is cleared and the process is ended (Sy5).

  In the present embodiment, the winning result determination screen or the winning result suggestion screen is erased at the end of the game (that is, at the third stop), but at the second stop or at the next game or at the start switch operation or bet operation. It may be erased at an appropriate timing such as time.

  As described above, when the order in which the stop switch 8L is pressed first is the specific operation procedure (that is, the recommended operation procedure of the stop switch to which the penalty is not applied), the left first stop is performed according to the recommended operation procedure. If the stop switch 8L is pressed for the first time, the bell falling to the right wins. Then, on the winning result suggestion screen, it indicates that the downhill bell can be won, and when the stop switch 8L is pressed for the first stop so as to be the first left stop, the downhill bell winning on the winning result determination screen Since it indicates that there is a high possibility (that is, the notification that the down-down bell is winning), the winning result (that is, the derived display result) shown in the presentation (that is, the display of each image) There is no contradiction with the winning result.

  On the other hand, when the middle first stop or the right first stop is performed in spite of the recommended operation procedure, the lower right bell does not win, and the upper bell 5 or the upper bell 8 wins, or the transition appearance is configured The combination of symbols stops. In this case, since the display of the winning result suggestion screen is continued, and it continues to indicate that winning results other than winning on the lower right bell will occur, contradiction arises between the winning result shown in the presentation and the actual winning result. Absent. Also, when the recommended operation procedure is not followed, the game does not shift from the winning result suggestion screen to the winning result decision screen and the effect does not develop, so the player is instructed to perform the operation according to the recommended operation procedure so that the effect develops. It is possible to make the player aware of the operation by the recommended operation procedure, and to effectively alert the player not to perform the operation other than the left first stop.

  Next, the effect execution start process executed in the timer interrupt process (sub) of FIG. 19 will be described using FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 28, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether a reel rotation start command has been received from the main control unit 41 (Sj1). If the reel rotation start command has not been received (Sj1: N), the processing ends. When the reel rotation start command is received (Sj1: Y), whether to execute one of a plurality of types of effects including a recommended procedure effect for prompting the user to perform the left first stop operation (recommended operation procedure) Execute an effect lottery to determine (Sj2). If the recommended procedure effect is determined by the effect lottery (Sj3: Y), execution of the recommended procedure effect is started (Sj4). If the recommended procedure is not determined by the effect lottery (Sj3: N), the process ends. Although not shown, the recommended procedure is not determined by the effect lottery (Sj3: N), when it is determined to be another effect, the effect is executed. Then, for effects other than the recommended procedure effect, it is preferable to specify the result of the internal lottery based on the internal winning command, and to determine according to the specified result. In addition, the recommended procedure effect is a line by, for example, displaying characters such as "Please push from the left at the normal time" from the liquid crystal display 51 prompting the operation of the first left stop, or by displaying an image etc. It will be.

  Next, the effect execution end process executed in the timer interrupt process (sub) of FIG. 19 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 29, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the recommended procedure effect started in Sj4 of FIG. 28 is being executed (Sm1). If the recommended procedure effect is not being executed (Sm1: N), the process ends. If the recommended procedure effect is being executed (Sm1: Y), it is determined whether a reel stop start command has been received from the main control unit 41 (Sm2). If the reel stop command has not been received (Sm2: N), that is, if all three reels have been rotated, the processing is terminated. When the reel stop command is received (Sm2: Y), that is, when the first stop is performed, the execution of the recommended procedure effect is ended (Sm3).

  As described above, since the player is warned to perform the operation according to the recommended operation procedure by the recommended procedure effect, it is possible to more effectively raise awareness of the operation according to the recommended operation procedure.

  In addition, since the recommendation procedure effect alerts the player by the recommended procedure effect during the timing when the operation of the start switch is performed and the operation of the recommended operation procedure becomes possible (that is, the first stop), the recommended operation is performed. Consciousness to the operation by the procedure can be done more effectively.

  Next, a penalty flag setting process executed in the timer interrupt process (sub) of FIG. 19 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 30, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether a reel stop command has been received from the main control unit 41 (Sc1). If the reel stop command has not been received (Sc1: N), the process ends. When the reel stop command is received (Sc1: Y), it is specified from the reel stop command whether or not it is the first stop, and when it is the first stop, it is judged whether it is the left first stop or not (Sc2). In the case of the left first stop (Sc2: Y), the process ends. If it is not the left first stop (Sc2: N), that is, in the case of the middle first stop or the right first stop, set 10 games in the penalty counter that counts the number of games to which a penalty is given (Sc3) . Then, a penalty flag indicating that a penalty is to be applied is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c, and the process is ended (Sc4). As described above, since the present process is performed only during non-AT, no penalty is imposed even if the stop switch is operated in the pushing order according to the navigation target during AT.

  Next, the recommended procedure notification determination process executed in the timer interrupt process (sub) of FIG. 19 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 31, the sub control unit 91 determines whether a reel stop command has been received from the main control unit 41 (Sf1). If the reel stop command has not been received (Sf1: N), the process ends. When the reel stop command is received (Sf1: Y), it is specified from the reel stop command whether it is the first stop or not, and when it is the first stop, it is judged whether it is the left first stop (Sf2). In the case of the left first stop (Sf2: Y), the process ends. In the case of not the left first stop (Sf2: N), that is, in the case of the middle first stop or the right first stop, it is indicated to execute the recommended procedure notification prompting the user to perform the operation in the left first stop The recommended procedure notification flag is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c, and the process is ended (Sf3).

  Next, the recommended procedure notification start process executed in the timer interrupt process (sub) of FIG. 19 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 32, the sub control unit 91 determines whether or not the recommended procedure notification flag set in Sf3 of FIG. 31 is set (Sg1). If the recommended procedure notification flag is not set (Sg1: N), the process ends. If the recommended procedure notification flag is set (Sg1: Y), it is determined whether a reel stop command has been received from the main control unit 41 (Sg2). If the reel stop command has not been received (Sg2: N), the process ends. When the reel stop command is received (Sg2: Y), it is determined from the reel stop command whether it is the third stop or not (Sg3). If it is not the third stop (Sg3: N), the process ends. In the case of the third stop (Sg3: Y), execution of a recommended procedure notification that prompts an operation by the left first stop is started (Sg4). Then, the recommended procedure notification flag is cleared and the process is ended (Sg5). The recommended procedure notification is performed, for example, by displaying characters such as "Press normally from the left" to urge the left first stop operation from the liquid crystal display 51, or by displaying an image or the like indicating this.

  As described above, when the operation is performed according to a procedure other than the recommended operation procedure, the recommended procedure notification is started at the timing according to the intention to prevent the operation from being performed according to the procedure other than the recommended operation procedure in the next game. It is possible to make the player aware of the operation according to the recommended operation procedure in the next game, and to effectively alert the player not to operate in the procedure other than the recommended operation procedure. That is, if the notification of the recommended procedure is started before the next game starts before the operation by the procedure other than the recommended operation becomes possible in the next game, awareness of the operation by the recommended operation procedure in the next game is performed and attention is given It is effective in promoting awakening.

  Further, in the game in which the operation is performed according to the procedure other than the recommended operation procedure, the recommended procedure notification is started when the operation of the stop switch on the last reel is performed, so the recommended operation for the next game is You can make them aware of the procedure operation.

  Next, the recommended procedure notification end process executed in the timer interrupt process (sub) of FIG. 19 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 33, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the recommended procedure notification started in Sg4 of FIG. 32 is being executed (Sh1). If the recommended procedure notification is not being executed (Sh1: N), the process ends. When the recommended procedure notification is being executed, it is determined whether a reel stop command has been received from the main control unit 41 (Sh2). If the reel stop command has not been received (Sh2: N), the process ends. When the reel stop command is received (Sh2: Y), it is determined from the reel stop command whether it is the first stop or not (Sh3). If it is not the first stop (Sh3: N), the process ends. In the case of the first stop (Sh3: Y), the recommendation procedure notification being executed is ended and the process is ended (Sh4).

  As described above, when the operation is performed according to a procedure other than the recommended operation procedure, the recommended game notification is ended in accordance with the timing for preventing the operation from being performed according to the procedure other than the recommended operation procedure. It is possible to make the player aware of the operation according to the recommended operation procedure in the above, and to effectively alert the player not to operate in a procedure other than the recommended operation procedure. That is, if the notification of the recommended procedure is ended before the operation related to the start of the next game or the next game can be performed by the procedure other than the recommended operation procedure, awareness of the operation by the recommended operation procedure in the next game is performed. And is effective in promoting alerting.

  Next, the penalty flag clear process executed in the timer interrupt process (sub) of FIG. 19 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 34, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether the penalty flag set in Sc4 of FIG. 30 is set (Se1). If the penalty flag is not set (Se1: N), the process ends. If the penalty flag is set (Se1: Y), it is determined whether a reel rotation start command has been received from the main control unit 41 (Se2). If the reel rotation start command has not been received (Se2: N), the process ends. When the reel rotation start command is received (Se2: Y), the value of the penalty counter is decremented by 1 (Se3). Then, it is judged whether or not the value of the penalty counter after subtraction has become "0" (Se4). If the value of the penalty counter is not "0" (Se4: N), the process ends. When the value of the penalty counter becomes "0" (Se4: Y), the penalty flag is cleared and the process is ended (Se5).

  Next, with reference to FIG. 35, a first modification of the second navigation effect execution process shown in FIG. 27 will be described. The detailed description of the part performing the same process as the process of FIG. 27 is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 35, in the first modification, the same processing as that in FIG. 27 is performed in Sy1 to Sy3 and Sy5. However, if the sub control unit 91 determines that the stop switch 8L is pressed first so as to be the first left stop in Sy 2, the display of the winning result suggestion screen is ended and the winning result decision screen When it is determined that the stop switch 8L is not pressed first so as to become the left first stop (Sy3), unlike the special control of Sy4 in FIG. Special control is executed to display the background screen displayed from the liquid crystal display 51 when the winning result determination screen is not displayed (Sy6). The background screen is a screen that is normally displayed when the effect is not performed during the game. As the background screen, for example, an image in which the character is walking with a predetermined landscape in the background is displayed. Then, when the player wins the left bell, the background screen is switched to the winning result suggestion screen (Sv2 in FIG. 26).

  As described above, in the first modification, when the order in which the stop switch 8L is pressed first is the specific operation order (that is, the recommended operation procedure of the stop switch to which no penalty is given), the recommended operation procedure is performed. When the stop switch 8L is pressed for the first left stop, the right-down bell is won. Then, on the winning result suggestion screen, it indicates that the downhill bell can be won, and when the stop switch 8L is pressed for the first stop so as to be the first left stop, the downhill bell winning on the winning result determination screen Since it indicates that there is a high possibility (that is, the notification that the down-down bell is winning), the winning result (that is, the derived display result) shown in the presentation (that is, the display of each image) There is no contradiction with the winning result.

  On the other hand, when the middle first stop or the right first stop is performed in spite of the recommended operation procedure, the lower right bell does not win, and the upper bell 5 or the upper bell 8 wins, or the transition appearance is configured The combination of symbols stops. In this case, since the background screen is displayed and the winning result is not notified on the background screen, there is no contradiction between the winning result shown in the effect and the actual winning result. Also, when the recommended operation procedure is not followed, the game does not shift from the winning result suggestion screen to the winning result decision screen and the effect does not develop, so the player is instructed to perform the operation according to the recommended operation procedure so that the effect develops. It is possible to make the player aware of the operation by the recommended operation procedure, and to effectively alert the player not to perform the operation other than the left first stop.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 36, a second modification of the second navigation presentation execution process shown in FIG. 27 will be described. The detailed description of the part performing the same process as the process of FIG. 27 is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 36, in the first modification, in Sy1 to Sy3 and Sy5, the same processing as that in FIG. 27 is performed. However, if the sub control unit 91 determines that the stop switch 8L is pressed first so as to be the first left stop in Sy 2, the display of the winning result suggestion screen is ended and the winning result decision screen Is displayed (Sy3), and it is determined that the stop switch 8L is not pressed first so as to become the first left stop, unlike the special control of Sy4 in FIG. 27, a penalty is given. Special control is performed to display a penalty screen to inform that (Sy7). When the penalty screen is displayed, the winning result determination screen is not displayed, so the player can not know in advance the winning result in the game, which is disadvantageous for the player. Then, on the penalty screen, it is informed that such a penalty is given.

  As described above, in the second modification, when the order in which the stop switch 8L is pressed first is the specific operation order (that is, the recommended operation procedure for the stop switch to which no penalty is given), the recommended operation procedure is performed. When the stop switch 8L is pressed for the first left stop, the right-down bell is won. Then, on the winning result suggestion screen, it indicates that the downhill bell can be won, and when the stop switch 8L is pressed for the first stop so as to be the first left stop, the downhill bell winning on the winning result determination screen Since it indicates that there is a high possibility (that is, the notification that the down-down bell is winning), the winning result (that is, the derived display result) shown in the presentation (that is, the display of each image) There is no contradiction with the winning result.

  On the other hand, when the middle first stop or the right first stop is performed in spite of the recommended operation procedure, the lower right bell does not win, and the upper bell 5 or the upper bell 8 wins, or the transition appearance is configured The combination of symbols stops. In this case, since the penalty screen is displayed and the notification of the winning result is not performed on the penalty screen, there is no contradiction between the winning result shown in the effect and the actual winning result. In addition, it can be informed that a penalty is given, and it is possible to prevent a momentary crash from being given a penalty and a decrease in interest in the game.

  In the second modification, when the penalty screen is displayed, it is also possible to simultaneously perform the recommended procedure notification. In this way, the synergetic effect with the display of the penalty screen is used to make the operation according to the recommended operation procedure aware, and to effectively alert the player not to perform the operation according to a procedure other than the recommended operation procedure. Can.

  The penalty screen is displayed at the end of the displayed game (that is, at the third stop), at the second stop, at the start of the next game when the start switch is operated, at the time of BET operation, etc. You may delete it with

  Next, a specific example of special control in Sy4 of FIG. 27, Sy6 of FIG. 35, and Sy7 of FIG. 36 will be described with reference to FIG. Unlike the above embodiment, in this specific example, when the bell is won, the bell is won when the stop switch is operated according to the recommended operation procedure, and when pressed in any other order, the other winning combinations are won or lost. Become.

  As shown in FIG. 37 (1), when the player operates the start switch 7 after betting the medal and wins the bell, the liquid crystal display 51 displays a winning result suggestion screen. Then, as a winning result suggestion screen, "yellow", which is a character indicating that the bell is winning, and "white", which is a character indicating that the other winning combination is winning or becoming lost, are displayed. Therefore, it is suggested that the bell wins (that is, the symbol combination constituting the bell is stopped) by including "yellow", which is a character indicating that the bell wins, in the screen.

  When the player first presses the stop switch 8L so that the player is in the left first stop from the state of FIG. 37A, the state shifts to the state of FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 37 (2), for example, when the stop switch 8L is pressed first so as to be the left first stop in accordance with the recommended pressing procedure, the winning result determination screen is displayed from the liquid crystal display 51. In this specific example, only "yellow", which is a character indicating that a bell is to be won, is displayed as a winning result determination screen. As a result, it is informed that the bell will be won. At this time, since the stop switch is operated in accordance with the recommended operation procedure, the bell is won. Thus, there is no contradiction between the winning result shown in the presentation and the actual winning result.

  Next, when the player operates the stop switch in an order other than the depression recommended order from the state of FIG. 37 (1) (an order other than the order in which the stop switch 8L is pressed first to achieve left first stop) That is, as processing for shifting to the order of pressing the stop switch 8C first to become the first stop in the middle or the order of pressing the stop switch 8R to the first stop so as to become the first right stop, as shown in FIG. The four types of processing shown in -1) to (3-4) will be described as an example. 37 (3-2) to (3-4) show special control. Further, the four types of processing shown in FIGS. 37 (3-1) to (3-4) may all be executed by one type of slot machine, or any one of the preset processing (only one processing or plural processings) Any one of the following processing may be performed.

  In the process shown in FIG. 37 (3-1), a process of displaying only the image according to the stop switch depression order is performed as in FIG. 37 (2), and the winning combination other than the bell is won or lost. Display only "white", which is a letter indicating that. As a result, it is informed that the winning combination other than Bell will be won or lost. In this example, the same processing as in FIG. 37 (2) is performed, but the bell does not win if the player operates the stop switch in an order other than the pressing recommendation order, so the winning result shown in the effect and the actual winning result There is no contradiction.

  In the special control shown in FIG. 37 (3-2), the winning result suggestion screen displayed in FIG. 37 (1) is continuously displayed as it is without shifting to the display in FIG. The same process). In this example, since it continues to suggest that the winning combination other than the bell will win or lose, there is no contradiction between the winning result shown in the presentation and the actual winning result. Further, since the process of selecting an image is not performed as shown in FIG. 37 (3-1) which performs the same process as the example of FIG. 37 (2), the amount of programs can be reduced and the process of image display becomes complicated. Can be prevented.

  In the special control shown in FIG. 37 (3-3), the display is switched to the display of the background screen displayed when the effect is not executed during the game (processing similar to Sy6 in FIG. 35). In this specific example, a background screen in which the character is walking in the desert is displayed. In this example, since the background screen is displayed and the notification of the winning result is not performed on the background screen, there is no contradiction between the winning result shown in the effect and the actual winning result. Further, since the process of selecting an image is not performed as shown in FIG. 37 (3-1) which performs the same process as the example of FIG. 37 (2), the amount of programs can be reduced and the process of image display becomes complicated. Can be prevented.

  In the special control shown in FIG. 37 (3-4), the screen is switched to a penalty screen notifying that a penalty is given (the same process as Sy7 in FIG. 36). In this specific example, a penalty screen including an image indicating that a penalty is to be applied is displayed together with the word "penalty". In this example, since the penalty screen is displayed and the notification of the winning result is not performed on the penalty screen, there is no contradiction between the winning result shown in the effect and the actual winning result. In addition, it can be notified in advance that a penalty will be given, and it is possible to prevent suddenness from being given to a sudden crash and lowering interest in the game.

  In the example of FIG. 37, “Yellow”, which is a character indicating that the bell is winning as the first effect, and “white”, which is a character indicating that the other winning combination wins or loses. Is displayed, and only the “yellow” is displayed as the second effect, and an example is given in which the winning of the bell is decided, but it is suggested that any one of a plurality of winning combinations is won as the first effect, By suggesting a winning combination less than the number of winning combinations suggested in the first effect in the second effect as a winning candidate, suggesting that the second effect is more likely to derive a predetermined display result than the first effect Is possible.

  Next, a third modification of the recommended procedure notification start process and the recommended procedure notification end process will be described with reference to FIGS. 38 and 39.

  First, a third modification of the recommended procedure notification start process executed in the timer interrupt process (sub) of FIG. 19 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 38, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the recommended procedure notification flag set in Sf3 of FIG. 31 is set (Sr1). If the recommended procedure notification flag is not set (Sr1: N), the process ends. If the recommended procedure notification flag is set (Sr1: Y), execution of a recommended procedure notification for prompting an operation by the left first stop is started (Sr2). Then, the recommended procedure notification flag is cleared to end the process (Sr3). Since the recommended procedure notification flag is set when the left first stop is performed in Sf3 of FIG. 31, the recommended procedure notification of Sr2 is started when the first stop is performed. The recommended procedure notification is performed, for example, by displaying characters such as "Press normally from the left" to urge the left first stop operation from the liquid crystal display 51, or by displaying an image or the like indicating this.

  Next, a third modification of the recommended procedure notification end process executed in the timer interrupt process (sub) of FIG. 19 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 39, the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not the recommendation procedure notification started with Sr4 in FIG. 38 is being executed (St1). If the recommended procedure notification is not being executed (St1: N), the process ends. When the recommended procedure notification is being executed, it is determined whether or not the insertion number command has been received from the main control unit 41 (St2). If the insertion number command has not been received (St2: N), the process ends. When the inserted number command is received (St2: Y), it is determined whether the setting of the bet number is performed (Sh3). If the setting of the number of bets has not been made (Sh3: N), the process ends. If the bet number setting has been made (Sh3: Y), the recommendation procedure notification being executed is ended and the process is ended (Sh4).

  In this manner, by starting notification of the recommended procedure when the operation is performed in a procedure other than the recommended operation procedure, it is possible to inform the player that the operation is a procedure other than the recommended operation procedure, and next By continuing notification of the recommended procedure until the setting of the number of bets on the game, it is possible to make the operation in the recommended operation procedure aware for the next game.

  Next, the execution timing of the recommended procedure notification and the recommended procedure presentation by the sub control unit 91 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 40, when the start switch 7 is operated at the timing t1, when it is determined to execute the recommended procedure effect in the effect lottery, the recommended procedure effect is started (Sj4 in FIG. 28). When the player wins the left bell, the first navigation effect is also executed (Sv3 in FIG. 26).

  At the timing t2, when the first stop is performed, the recommended procedure effect is ended (Sm3 in FIG. 29). Further, in the case of the left first stop, the first navigation effect is ended, and the second navigation effect is executed (Sy3 in FIG. 27).

  If the first stop is not the left first stop, and the third stop is performed at timing t3, execution of a recommended procedure notification is started (Sg4 in FIG. 32). Also, the second navigation effect ends at this timing.

  At timing t5, when the first stop is performed in the next game, the recommended procedure notification is ended (Sh4 in FIG. 33).

  In the third modification, when the first stop is performed at timing t2, execution of the recommended procedure notification is started (Sr2 in FIG. 38). Then, at timing t4, when the bet number for the next game is set, the recommended procedure notification is ended (St4 in FIG. 39).

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and any changes or additions may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. It goes without saying that it is included.

  In the normal state (non-AT state, non-bonus state in the embodiment) which occupies the majority in the game, the operation in the specific operation procedure (in other words, it can also be referred to as a recommended operation procedure) is operated in other procedures It is designed such that the expectation value of the game value that the player can acquire in the game is higher than when it is played. The expected value defined here is not an expected value of only one game in the normal state, but on the premise that the game is continuously performed in consideration of the grant of the right to the advantageous state obtained by the one game thereafter. Indicates the expected value. Therefore, it is better for the player to operate in the specific operation procedure.

  As an example, in the embodiment, the reverse push may shift to the RT state with high replay probability, but there is a penalty for granting the right of the AT, so in normal state it is better to operate in the specific operation procedure than the other It can be said that the expectation value for the player is higher than when operating in the procedure.

  Further, in another aspect, it is set that the operation in the specific operation procedure is higher in the probability of being given the right to be in a specific advantageous state than in the operation in the other procedures. Therefore, it is better for the player to operate in the specific operation procedure.

  Also, from another point of view, it is better for the player to operate in the specific operation procedure than the operation performed in another procedure for the payout rate obtained by the game (determined by the game value acquired in the game / the game value used in the game). It is designed to have a moderate insult. Therefore, it is better for the player to operate in the specific operating procedure, because the player can play a game having a more appropriate shot power than when operating in the specific operating procedure than in the other procedures.

  As an example, in the embodiment, the reverse push may shift to the RT state with high replay probability, but there is a penalty for granting the right of the AT, so there is no occurrence of the AT, so there is the occurrence of the AT Therefore, the appropriate shooting ability provided to the gaming machine is lost.

  Further, in another viewpoint, it is easier for the user to operate in the specific operation procedure than in the case where the other operation is performed, in which a specific derivation result is more likely to appear corresponding to the internal winning combination. The specific derivation result is designed so that the internal winning combination can be limited at the time of derivation, and when derived by a specific operation procedure, it can be recognized that a bonus is won (so-called reach eye) ), There is a possibility of bonus winning (sometimes called a chance) has been designed.

  At this time, if operated in another procedure, the player may give a sense of distrust to the gaming machine because there is a possibility that even if a specific derivation result is derived, it does not match the pre-designed internal winning combination. Therefore, it is preferable to operate in the specific operation procedure.

In the present embodiment, the recommended procedure notification is started from the timing at which an event related to the progress of the game occurs before the start of the next game to the timing at which the operation by the recommended operation procedure can be performed in the next game ( In this example, when Sg3 in FIG. 32 is Y, the processing of Sg4 is executed).
Therefore, when an operation is performed according to a procedure other than the recommended operation procedure, the recommended procedure notification is started at the timing according to the intention to prevent the operation other than the recommended operation procedure in the next game. It is possible to make the player aware of the operation according to the recommended operation procedure, and to effectively alert the player not to perform the operation according to a procedure other than the recommended operation procedure.

Further, in the present embodiment, the recommended procedure notification is ended at the timing when the operation by the recommended operation procedure can be performed in the next game of the game in which the operation is performed in the procedure other than the recommended operation procedure (in this example, The part which performs the process of Sh4 in the case of Y by Sh1 of FIG.
Therefore, when the operation is performed according to a procedure other than the recommended operation procedure, the notification of the recommended procedure is ended at the timing according to the intention to prevent the operation according to the procedure other than the recommended operation procedure in the next game. It is possible to make the player aware of the operation according to the recommended operation procedure, and to effectively alert the player not to perform the operation according to a procedure other than the recommended operation procedure.

Further, in the present embodiment, a recommended procedure effect for prompting the user to perform an operation according to the recommended operation procedure is performed (in the present example, a portion that executes the processing of Sj 4 in FIG. 28).
Therefore, since the player is warned to perform the operation according to the recommended operation procedure even by the recommended procedure effect, it is possible to more effectively raise awareness of the operation according to the recommended operation procedure.

Further, in the present embodiment, the recommended procedure presentation is performed between the timing when the operation of the start switch is performed and the timing when the operation of the recommended operation procedure becomes possible (in the present example, Sj1 in FIG. 28 corresponds to Y). The processing of Sj 4 is executed, and the processing of Sm 3 is performed in the case of Y in Sm 2 of FIG.
Therefore, during the time when the operation of the start switch is performed and the time when the operation of the recommended operation procedure becomes possible, the player is alerted by the recommended procedure effect, so awareness of the operation according to the recommended operation procedure Can be done more effectively.

Further, in the present embodiment, printing is performed to urge the operation of the recommended operation procedure to the lower panel (in the present example, a portion shown in FIG. 4).
Therefore, by performing a display prompting the user to perform an operation according to the recommended operation procedure on the lower panel 1d, the player is warned not to perform an operation according to a procedure other than the recommended operation procedure at all times. Can be more effective in raising awareness of operations.

Further, in the present embodiment, the recommended procedure notification is started when the operation of the stop switch for the reel to be stopped last is performed (in this example, the process of Sg4 is performed in the case of Y in Sg3 of FIG. 32). The part to run).
Therefore, in the game in which the operation is performed according to the procedure other than the recommended operation procedure, the notification of the recommended procedure is started when the operation of the stop switch for the last reel is performed. You can make them aware of the procedure operation.

Further, in the present embodiment, the recommended procedure notification is started when an operation is performed according to a procedure other than the recommended operation procedure, and the recommended procedure notification is ended when the bet number of the next game is set In the example, the processing of Sr2 is executed in the case of Y in Sr1 of FIG. 38, and the processing of St4 in the case of Y in St3 of FIG. 39).
Therefore, by starting notification of the recommended procedure when the operation is performed according to a procedure other than the recommended operation procedure, it is possible to inform the player that the operation is a procedure other than the recommended operation procedure, and of the next game. By continuing notification of the recommended procedure until the setting of the number of bets, awareness of the operation by the recommended operation procedure can be made for the next game.
